For Immediate Release
MEMBER BANK INCOME , 19 73
Income before security gains and losses (after taxes) increased
$687 million, or 15.8 per cent at Federal Reserve member banks during
1973, substantially more than the 1972 increase of $364 million (9.2
per cent). In contrast to net security gains in 1972, member banks
recorded slight net security losses in 1973. Nonetheless, net income of
member banks in 1973 increased $612 million, or 13.9 per cent. The
ratio of net income to average equity capital and reserves was 11.0
per cent in 1973, compared to 10.5 per cent in 1972.
Total operating revenue increased $10,373 million, or 33.1
per cent in 1973. Income from loans, which increased 9.5 per cent in
1972, rose by $9,316 million or 44.8 per cent in 1973. Average loans
outstanding also increased in 1973. Moreover, the average rate of
return on these loans increased substantially in 1973 and reversed the
two consecutive decreases in this ratio recorded in 1972 and 1971.
Income from member banks' investment portfolios increased $446 million
(7.3 per cent), or roughly the same as in 1972. Average investments
at member banks increased 3.0 per cent in 1973 as compared to a 9.3
per cent increase in 1972; and, the average rate of return of these
investments rose. Income on U.S. Treasury securities declined $20
million. Income on "other securities," a major portion of which is
securities of states and political subdivisions, increased $466 million,
or 12.7 per cent, slightly below the percentage increase in 1972. "All
other" operating income, which includes trust department income, service
charges on deposit accounts, and other fees, increased $611 million
or 13.7 per cent during 1973.
Member bank operating expenses increased $9,388 million,
or 36.6 per cent, during calendar year 1973. An increase of $7,633
million in interest on time deposits accounted for 81 per cent of this
overall rise. Higher average amounts held and substantially higher
average interest paid on these deposits contributed to this increase.
Salaries and wages, also an important expense item, increase~ 10.1
per cent, 3.3 percentage points greater than the 1972 increase.
Expense from "all other sources," which includes such items as interest
on borrowed money and capital notes and debentures, decreased $631
million, or 7.9 per cent. This contrasts to a 10.4 per cent increase
in 1972.
Reflecting all of these changes, net operating income (before
income taxes and security gains and losses) increased $985 million, or
17.3 per cent, in 1973 as compared to a 7 per cent increase the previous
year. Applicable income taxes increased $298 million, or 22 percent,
during 1973. Member banks recorded slight security transaction losses
in 1973 as opposed to small gains in 1972; nonetheless, net income
increased $612 million to $5,012 million, a 13.9 per cent increase.
Income and expenses from these member banks usually represent
about four-fifths of the total for all insured commercial banks in the
country.
