FHLBANK TOPEKA ANNOUNCES 2022 FIRST QUARTER RESULTS
April 28, 2022 - FHLBank Topeka (FHLBank) is reporting net income of $50.4 million computed in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 compared to $43.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2021. The $6.5 million increase in net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 was the result of an increase in net interest income, partially offset by unrealized net losses on trading securities and economic derivatives (i.e., derivatives not qualifying for hedge accounting) and other expenses.
FHLBank expects to file its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on or about May 10, 2022.
Operating Highlights
•Net interest income/margin: Net interest income increased $11.7 million to $85.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 compared to $73.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2021. Net interest margin increased 7 basis points for the current quarter, from 0.59 percent for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 to 0.66 percent for the quarter ended March 31, 2022. This improvement reflects the decrease in the cost of debt, the decrease in premium amortization on mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities, and the increase in advance interest income for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 compared to the prior year period.
•Total assets: Total assets increased from $48.0 billion as of December 31, 2021 to $50.7 billion as of March 31, 2022, driven largely by the $2.0 billion increase in advances between periods.
•Advances: Advances increased from $23.5 billion at December 31, 2021 to $25.5 billion at March 31, 2022. The average balance of advances increased $4.6 billion, or 19.5 percent, for the three months ended March 31, 2022 when compared to the prior year period.

The average balance of mortgage loans decreased $0.8 billion, or 9.3 percent, for the three months ended March 31, 2022 when compared to the prior year period.
•Performance ratios: Return on average equity (ROE) increased to 6.98 percent for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 compared to 6.55 percent for the prior year quarter due primarily to the increase in net income for the current quarter.
•Dividends: The Class A Common Stock dividend rate of 0.25 percent per annum and the Class B Common Stock dividend rate of 5.75 percent per annum combined for a weighted average dividend rate for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 of 4.88 percent, compared to a weighted average dividend rate of 4.15 percent for the same period in 2021.
