MEMBER B A M INCOME, 1966

Summaries of preliminary figures for income and expenses
reported hy Federal. Reserve member banks for'bhetjfliecfl^r ;year 1966 Show
that net income after taxes rose 5 p^r cent over’
t e d 5*%vious year, m
marked increase in gross revenues, due primarily fco larger los^hj^rtfolios
and also to a higher average return on loans, wasilarga^h^f'S&t by increases
in bank expenses. Interest paid on time and savings deposits was responsible
for most of the higher costs. The ratio of net culrent earnings 1
taxes to average total capital accounts rose to l6fc
the highest
level since 1962.
k
, 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 $1,0 5 1 milllhJHjTa record net reduction. Greater
losses on securities sold accounted for most of the larger net reduction.
The ratio of net income after taxes to average total capital accounts, at
8.6 per cent, was down slightly from 1965.
Gross current operating revenue increased about 16 per cent, or
by $2,232 million. Loan revenue accounted for about.four-fifths of the
rise. Although the average rate of return on U. S. Government securities
increased, average holdings declined so that revenue from this source was
slightly lower than the previous year. The $186 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.
Total expenses were nearly 17 per cent, or $1 ,7 2 9 million, higher
than 1965. Over three-fifths, $1 ,0 0 1 million, of this increase came as a
result of an increase in interest payments on time deposits. The 25 per
cent increase in interest paid by banks resulted from large increases fn
both the average rate paid on time deposits and in average holdings of
these liabilities. Salaries, wages, and other employee benefits rose
$323 million and all other expenses $405 million.
Net current earnings before income taxes were $4 ,1 3 9 million,
about 14 per cent higher than in 1965* After the reduction of $1 ,0 5 1 mil­
lion for the net effect of non-operating transactions mentioned above, net
income before taxes rose only $106 million.
Taxes on net income were $886 million, about the same as in 1965*
Net Income after taxes rose to $2,2 0 3 million, $100 million higher than

I965.
