FHLBANK TOPEKA ANNOUNCES 2025 FOURTH QUARTER AND ANNUAL RESULTS (Form 8-K)

FHLBANK TOPEKA ANNOUNCES 2025 FOURTH QUARTER AND ANNUAL RESULTS

February 19, 2026 - Federal Home Loan Bank of Topeka (FHLBank) announced unaudited financial results for the fourth quarter and annual period ended December 31, 2025. All measures are calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).

FHLBank expects to file its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on or about March 12, 2026.

Performance Highlights

•Total Assets: Total assets increased to $77.5 billion driven by a $2.0 billion increase in advances and a $1.1 billion increase in long-term investments compared to the prior year end.

•Primary Mission Assets: The Primary Mission Asset ratio measures year-to-date average advances and mortgage loans relative to consolidated obligations (excluding certain U.S. Treasury securities). The ratio held relatively steady at 77 percent, compared to 78 percent in the prior year.

•Advances: Advances increased to $43.7 billion driven by increased utilization among large depository and insurance company members, with the majority of the growth in adjustable rate products. Advances represented 56.3 percent of total assets, compared to 54.9 percent at prior year end.

•Mortgage loans: Mortgage loans increased to $9.4 billion, representing 12.1 percent of total assets, compared to 11.8 percent at prior year end. Originations at interest rates higher than the weighted average rate of the existing portfolio continue to have a positive impact on interest income.

•Investment securities: Investment securities increased to $14.8 billion, driven by purchases of multifamily agency commercial mortgage-backed securities. Investment securities represented 19.1 percent of total assets compared to 18.1 percent at prior year end.

•Net Income: Net income decreased $53.2 million to $379.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to $432.7 million for the prior year, primarily attributed to fluctuations in the fair value of derivatives and trading securities, a decrease in net interest income, and an increase in other expenses primarily related to an increase in voluntary contributions.

•Net interest income/margin: Net interest income was $136.3 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, $14.5 million lower than the prior year quarter. Net interest income was $540.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, $19.9 million lower than the prior year. The decline in net interest income was driven by lower short-term interest rates and hedging adjustments on fair value hedges, partially offset by higher average balances of interest-earning assets. Net interest margin decreased eight basis points to 0.69 percent for the quarter, while net interest spread decreased four basis points to 0.46 percent between quarterly periods. Net interest margin decreased five basis points to 0.68 percent for the current year while net interest spread decreased one basis point to 0.43 percent between years. The margin decline for both periods reflects lower net interest income and changes in balance sheet composition and spreads. The decline in spread for the quarter is due primarily to increases in lower-spread assets during the quarter.

•Performance ratios: Return on average equity decreased to 8.7 percent for the current quarter compared to 10.8 percent for the prior year quarter. Return on average equity decreased to 9.1 percent for the current year compared to 10.8 percent for the prior year. The decrease in both the quarter and year-to-date periods reflects lower net income and higher average balance of capital stock resulting from increased advance utilization.

Housing and Community Development Programs

FHLBank's housing and community development programs are central to its mission to make a difference by providing reliable liquidity and funding to help its members build strong communities. The success of the FHLBank cooperative means more funding to support members in these community-building initiatives. FHLBank is subject to a regulatory assessment that commits 10 percent of its net income before assessments to funding affordable housing initiatives in FHLBank's district. In 2026, the $42.2 million regulatory assessment from the prior year will be contributed to FHLBank's Affordable Housing Program (AHP). FHLBank has voluntarily committed an additional $25.5 million, or five percent of its 2025 net income before assessments and voluntary contributions, to support housing and community development programs. In partnership with our members, FHLBank will support and sustain affordable housing and community lending through programs designed to address housing challenges within the unique footprint of FHLBank's district through the commitment or distribution of $67.7 million.
