MEMBER EANK INCOME, 1965

irted
Summaries of preliminary figures for income and
by Federal Reserve member banks .for the .calendar year
income after taxes rose nearly 10 per cent over the,
that more than three-fifths of the increase was din
lower income related taxes. A marked increase in gr\
primarily to larger loan portfolios, was largely offs>
bank expenses, with interest paid on time and savings
for most of the higher costs. The ratio of net current)
taxes to average total capital accounts was lower in 196\£fe£n in previousf
years; and showed the largest year to year decrease since 1962* The ratio
of net income after taxes to average total capital accounts, at 8 .8 per
cent was the same as in 1964.
Gross current operating revenue increased about 12 per cent, or
$1,487 million. Loan revenue accounted for. about .four-fifths of the rise,
and came as a result of a substantial increase in average holdings as the
average return was slightly below the 1964 level. The $170.million increase
in revenue from other securities over the previous year, resulted from a
higher average rate of return and some increase in the average holdings of
these types of securities. Although the average rate of return on U* S.
Government securities increased, average holdings declined so that revenue
from this source was $50 million lower than the previous year.
Total expenses were nearly 15 per cent, or $1,328 million higher
than 1964. Over three-fifths, $836 million, of this increase came as a
result of an increase, in interest payments on time deposits. The 25 per
cent increase in interest costs resulted from large increases in both the
average rate paid on time deposits and in average holdings of these
liabilities. Salaries, wages, and other employee benefits rose $218 mil­
lion and all other expenses, $273 million. Net current earnings before
income taxes were $3,650 million, about 5 per cent higher than in 1964.
The net effect of security transactions, other profit and loss
adjustments on loans and other assets, and changes in valuation reserves
was to reduce net income by $659 million the largest since 1959* This
compares with a net reduction of $570 million in 1964.
Taxes on net income were $884 million, down, from $998 million
in 1964. Net income after taxes rose to $2,108 million, $185 million
higher than 1964.
