Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco Announces Second Quarter 2025 Results


SAN FRANCISCO, July 25, 2025 — The Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco (Bank) today announced its unaudited second quarter 2025 financial results.

  • Net income for the second quarter of 2025 was $94 million.

  • The Bank allocated $21 million of its second quarter 2025 net earnings to fund its Affordable Housing Program (AHP) and several voluntary housing and community development initiatives.

  • The Bank’s board of directors declared a second quarter dividend at an annualized rate of 8.75%.

“It is our mission to provide liquidity for our members and to support affordable housing and community development across our region," said Joseph E. Amato, interim president and chief executive officer of FHLBank San Francisco. “We approach this important work with a business-minded focus and a commitment to operational efficiency so that we can continue to be a reliable source of low-cost funding and a vital partner in delivering impactful housing solutions.”

Financial Results

Net income for the second quarter of 2025 was $94 million, an increase of $8 million compared with the second quarter of 2024. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in net interest income of $6 million, an increase in other income of $5 million, and a decrease in operating expense of $5 million, partially offset by an increase in voluntary housing and community investment contributions of $8 million.

  • The $6 million increase in net interest income was attributable to decreases in costs on lower balances of consolidated obligations and dividends paid on mandatorily redeemable capital stock classified as interest expense, offset by decreases in advance balances and yields on interest-earning assets.

  • The $5 million increase in other income was primarily driven by favorable net fair value movements in the Bank's financial instruments carried at fair value.

The Bank allocated $21 million of its second quarter 2025 net earnings (net income before interest expense related to dividends paid on mandatorily redeemable capital stock and the assessment for the AHP) for affordable housing and voluntary initiatives, including $11 million for the statutory AHP, which supports the construction, preservation, and purchase of affordable homes. Disbursements of voluntary community investment contributions included, but were not limited to, more than $9 million in support for homeownership, housing infrastructure, and other initiatives benefiting individuals and families across the Bank's three-state district.

Balance Sheet and Capital

At June 30, 2025, total assets were $83.1 billion, an increase of $1.4 billion from $81.7 billion at December 31, 2024. The increase in total assets was primarily driven by increases of $4.0 billion in securities purchased under agreements to resell and $3.4 billion in federal funds sold. These increases were partially offset by a $5.7 billion reduction in advances. Advances declined primarily due to maturities of advances held by nonmembers in connection with certain Bank member acquisitions that occurred in 2023.

As of June 30, 2025, the Bank exceeded all regulatory capital requirements. The Bank exceeded its 4.0% regulatory capital requirement with a regulatory capital ratio of 8.7% at June 30, 2025. The Bank also exceeded its risk-based capital requirement of $1.2 billion with $7.3 billion in permanent capital.

Dividend Declaration

On July 24, 2025, the Bank’s board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend on the average capital stock outstanding during the second quarter of 2025 at an annualized rate of 8.75%. The Bank expects to pay the dividend on August 12, 2025.

  1. Investments consist of federal funds sold, interest-bearing deposits, available-for-sale securities, held-to-maturity securities, and securities purchased under agreements to resell.

  2. The regulatory capital ratio is calculated as regulatory capital divided by total assets. Regulatory capital includes retained earnings, Class B capital stock, and mandatorily redeemable capital stock (which is classified as a liability) but excludes accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss). Total regulatory capital as of June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, was $7.3 billion.

  3. Net interest margin is calculated as net interest income (annualized) divided by average interest-earning assets.

  4. Cash dividends are declared and paid during the period, on the average capital stock outstanding during the previous quarter.
