Fourth Quarter 2008 CFO Report to the Board

The attached report highlights the Corporation's financial activities and results for the period ending
December 31, 2008.

Executive Summary

· The Deposit Insurance Fund (OIF) balance (unaudited) decreased by 45.4 percent ($15.699
billion) to $18.889 billion during the fourth quarter of 2008. The fourth quarter 2008 decrease
was primarily due to the $17.550 billion increase in the provision for insurance losses mainly
related to anticipated failures, offset by a $996 million increase in assessment revenue, a $551
million increase in the unrealized gain on available-for-sale securities, a $302 million increase
in the realized gain on sale of securities, and a $277 million increase in interest earned on
investment securities.
.

· The 0 IF reserve ratio is 0.40 percent as of December 31, 2008, which is 82 basis points lower
than the 1.22 percent reserve ratio at year-end 2007. This is the lowest reserve ratio for the
combined bank and thrift insurance fund since June 30, 1993, when the reserve ratio was 0.28
percent.
· During the fourth quarter of 2008, the FDIC was named receiver for 12 failed institutions:
Main Street Bank of
Northville, Michigan; Meridian Bank of
Eldred, llinois; Alpha Bank &
Trust of Alpharett, Georgia; Freedom Bank of Bradenton, Florida; Security Pacific Bank of
Los Angeles, California; Franklin Bank, SSB of Houston, Texas; The Community Bank of
Loganville, Georgia; Downey Savings & Loan, FA, of
Newport Beach, California; PFF Bank
& Trust of Pomona, California; First Georgia Communiry Bank of Jackson, Georgia;
Sanderson State Bank of Sanderson, Texas; and Haven Trust Bank of Duluth, Georgia. The
combined assets at inception for these institutions totaled approximately $25 billion with an
estimated loss totaling $4 billion. The corporate cash outlay during the fourth quarter for these
failures was $7 billion. Additionally, the FDIC and the acquirer of both Downey Savings and
PFF Bank entered into a loss share agreement.
· For the year ending December 31,2008, Corporate Operating and Investment related

expenditures ran below budget by 1 percent ($12 million) and 13 per,cent ($4 million),

respectively. The variance with respect to the Corporate Operating Budget was primarily the

result of lower spending for contractual services in the Ongoing Operations component of the
budget.
•

Spending in the Ongoing Operations component was 1 percent ($12 million) under the
approved budget, while spending in the Receivership Funding component exceeded the
approved budget by approximately 0.3 percent ($464,000). Receivership Funding spending
during December substantially exceeded prior month spending levels largely due to increased
expenses associated with failures that occurred during the first nine months of the year.

The following is an assessment of each of the three major finance areas: financial statements,
investments, and budget.

Financial Results
I. Financial
Statements

Trends and Outlook
Comments
The Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program (TLGP) will have no financial
impact to the DIF. Any losses incurred by the DIF will be recovered first from
fees collected from institutions participating in the TLGP and second (only if
TLGP revenue proves insufficient) from systemic risk based assessments
imposed on all insured depository institutions. The 2008 financial results of the
TLGP are summarized below.
•

The FDIC collected $2.425 billion of guarantee fees from participating
institutions on newly issued senior unsecured debt under the Debt
Guarantee Program (DGP) in 2008 and recorded a $974 million
receivable for fees under this program at year-end.

•

The total amount of guaranteed debt outstanding is $224 billion as of
December 31, 2008. If all eligible entities issued debt up to the
program’s allowable limit, the maximum loss exposure would be $940
billion. The FDIC cannot reliably estimate the future losses associated
with the DGP at this time since the program has been operating for a
relatively short time and no losses have yet been incurred.

•

The FDIC recorded a $665 million contingent liability associated with
non-interest bearing transaction accounts for the anticipated failure of
insured institutions participating in the Transaction Account Guarantee
Program (TAG) as of December 31, 2008.

•

During 2008, the FDIC paid the guaranteed claims of depositors under
the TAG program in the amount of $70 million upon the failure of ten
participating institutions.

Trends and Outlook
Comments
The DIF investment portfolio’s amortized cost (book value) decreased
dramatically by $23.889 billion during 2008, and totaled $26.580 billion
on December 31, 2008. The decline was primarily the result of funding
25 failed institution resolutions during 2008. At year end, the DIF
investment portfolio yield was 4.59 percent, down 13 basis points from
its December 31, 2007, yield of 4.72 percent. The yield decline
stemmed largely from the sale of higher yielding securities during the
third and fourth quarters. In addition, the DIF ended the year with a
relatively high overnight investment balance of $971 million, earning
ultra-low yields. The relatively high year-end overnight investment
balance was largely attributable to the receipt of $867 million in
assessment revenue on December 30, 2008.

•

The newly established Debt Guarantee Program investment portfolio
totaled $2.425 billion on December 31, 2008, with all funds invested in
overnight investments.

•

Conventional Treasury market yields declined dramatically during the
fourth quarter of 2008. The deepening economic crisis and financial
market turmoil prompted a flight to quality with burgeoning investor
demand for Treasury securities; the yield declines also reflect the fact
that during the fourth quarter, the Federal Open Market Committee
(FOMC) cut the federal funds target rate three times, reducing it from 2
percent to a range of zero to 25 basis points. During the first quarter of
2009, Treasury yields are expected to continue to be volatile as market
participants gauge whether financial and economic market turmoil is
subsiding, prompting Treasury prices to fall with corresponding higher
Treasury market yields; or whether financial and economic market
turmoil is deepening, prompting further flight-to-quality Treasury price
rallies and corresponding lower Treasury yields.

Financial Results
III. Budget

•

Trends and Outlook
Comments
Approximately $1.05 billion was spent in the Ongoing Operations
component of the 2008 Corporate Operating Budget, which was $12
million (1 percent) below the budget for the year. Spending in the
Outside Services - Personnel expense category, which was
approximately $11 million below the annual budget, accounted for most
of this variance.

•

Approximately $150.5 million was spent in the Receivership Funding
component of the 2008 Corporate Operating Budget, which exceeded
the approved annual budget by $0.5 million (0.3 percent). More than
half of the annual spending occurred during the fourth quarter, although
the majority (53 percent) was for continuing receivership management
workload associated with failures that occurred during the first nine
months of the year.

•

Authorized staffing increased by 19 percent, from 4,810 at the
beginning of the year to 5,721 at the end of 2008. This increase was
attributable primarily to increased resolution and receivership
management activity and the elevated examination workload that
resulted from a rise in the number of troubled institutions. In December
2008, the Board approved a further increase in authorized staffing for
2009, to 6,269. Approximately 78 percent of the additional positions
approved for 2008 and 2009 are non-permanent.

I. Corporate Fund Financial Statement Results (See pages 11 - 12 for detailed data and charts.)
Deposit Insurance Fund (DIF)
•

The accounting for the transactions of the TLGP will have no impact to the DIF. Any losses
incurred by the DIF will be recovered from fees collected from participating institutions in the
TLGP as well as any special assessments imposed on all insured depository institutions. Fees
received/accrued by FDIC as a result of the program will be held in reserve (deferred revenue)
and used solely for the payment of any losses arising from the program. However, when losses
are recognized the amount will be charged to expense and an equal amount of deferred revenue
will be recognized as revenue to cover the loss.

•

For 2008, the DIF’s comprehensive loss was $33.524 billion compared to comprehensive
income of $2.248 billion during 2007. This year-over-year decrease of $35.772 billion was
primarily due to a $40.131 billion increase in the provision for insurance losses offset in part by
a $2.322 billion increase in assessment revenue; a $1.766 billion increase in the unrealized gain
on available-for-sale securities; and a $775 million increase in the realized gain on sale of
securities.

•

The provision for insurance losses was $40.226 billion in 2008. The total provision consists
mainly of the provision for future failures ($22.244 billion) and the losses estimated at failure
4

for the 25 resolutions occurring during 2008 ($17.873 billion), the largest of which was the
$10.725 billion estimated loss for the IndyMac resolution.
•

•

Assessment revenue was $2.965 billion for 2008 compared with $643 million for 2007. This
increase of $2.322 billion was mostly due to the reduction in the amount of one-time
assessment credits available for use. In 2008, $1.446 billion in one-time credits offset $4.410
billion in gross assessment premiums; whereas in the previous year, $3.088 billion in one-time
credits were applied against $3.731 billion in gross assessment premiums.
Net receivables from resolutions increased by $1.352 billion to $15.766 billion during the
fourth quarter of 2008. This increase was mostly due to an increase of $2.360 billion in net
subrogated accounts (claims against the receivership) for the 12 failures in the fourth quarter
and $1 billion in funding provided to the IndyMac conservatorship. Partially offsetting these
increases was a $1.825 billion increase in the allowance for loss on the IndyMac resolution.

FSLIC Resolution Fund (FRF)
•

FRF’s net loss was $63 million for the fourth quarter of 2008 compared to a $74 million net
loss during the prior quarter. The net loss was primarily due to the recognition of $87 million
in losses for three Goodwill judgments, offset by $17 million in tax benefit recoveries.

II. Investments
Investment Results (See pages 13 - 14 for detailed data and charts.)
•

The amortized cost (book value) of the DIF investment portfolio decreased dramatically,
dropping by $23.889 billion, or 47.3 percent, from $50.469 billion on December 31, 2007, to
$26.580 billion on December 31, 2008. The DIF portfolio’s market value dropped by $23.548
billion or by 45.0 percent, from $52.378 billion on December 31, 2007, to $28.830 billion on
December 31, 2008. The declines were primarily the result of funding failed institution
resolutions during 2008.

•

The DIF investment portfolio's total return for 2008 was 8.55 percent, approximately 278 basis
points less than its benchmark, the Merrill Lynch 1 - 10 Year U.S. Treasury Index (Index),
which had a total return of 11.33 percent during 2008. The DIF portfolio’s large cash balances
held during the first half of the year acted as a drag on total return performance. In addition,
the DIF portfolio’s Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS) considerably
underperformed the Index’s conventional Treasury securities. Finally, as the DIF
conventional Treasury securities have a lower average duration than the securities held in the
Index, the extraordinary conventional Treasury security rally during the second half of 2008,
which certainly benefited the DIF’s return, benefited the Index’s return even more as a result
of its longer average duration.

•

During the fourth quarter of 2008, to help fund resolution-related cash outlays, staff sold a
total of 19 securities on three occasions. These securities had a total book value of $4.328
billion, a total market value of $4.630 billion, a weighted average duration of 6.09 years, a
weighted average maturity of 8.12 years, and a weighted average effective yield-at-cost of
4.95 percent. These security sales resulted in a realized gain of $302 million. On December
5

31, 2008, the DIF portfolio’s overnight investment balance was $971.1 million, largely
reflecting the receipt of $867 million in assessments on December 30, 2008.
The Treasury Market
•

During the fourth quarter of 2008, conventional Treasury market yields decreased
dramatically; along with the impact of the FOMC’s three rate cuts, the deepening economic
crisis and financial market turmoil prompted a flight to quality with burgeoning investor
demand for Treasury securities. The three-month Treasury bill (T-Bill) and the six-month TBill yields decreased by 82 basis points and 135 basis points, respectively. The two-year
Treasury note, which also is very sensitive to actual and anticipated changes in the federal
funds rate, as well as to flight-to-quality concerns, posted a yield decline of 120 basis points
during the fourth quarter. Intermediate- to longer-maturity Treasury security yields declined
even more than shorter-maturity securities, with investors’ abating inflationary concerns
contributing to the yield declines. The yield on the five-year Treasury note declined by 143
basis points, while the yield on the ten-year note dropped by 161 basis points. The
conventional Treasury yield curve flattened during the fourth quarter of 2008, reflecting the
dramatic drop in yields on longer-maturity Treasuries; on December 31, 2008, the two- to tenyear yield curve had a 154-basis point positive spread (compared to positive 186-basis point
spread at the beginning of the quarter). Over the past five years, this spread has averaged 85
basis points.

Prospective Strategies
•

The first quarter 2009 DIF investment strategy calls for placing all net proceeds from deposit
insurance assessments, maturing securities, coupon and other interest payments, and
receivership dividends into overnight investments and/or short-term T-Bills in anticipation of
potential resolution activity. (See attached Approved Investment Strategy.)

•

For the newly established Debt Guarantee Program investment portfolio the first quarter 2009
investment strategy calls for investing all available funds in overnight investments, and/or in
conventional or callable Treasury securities with effective maturity dates not to exceed June
30, 2012. An investment strategy likely to be implemented during the first and second
quarters of 2009 will be to start developing a relatively even laddered maturity distribution out
to June 30, 2012.

III. Budget Results (See pages 15 – 16 for detailed data.)
Approved Budget and Staffing Modifications
The Deputy to the Chairman and Chief Financial Officer (CFO) approved five modifications to
the 2008 Corporate Operating Budget and/or authorized staffing during the quarter, in
accordance with authority delegated by the Board of Directors in the 2008 Budget Resolution:
•

In October 2008, the CFO approved an increase of 100 authorized positions for the Legal
Division, of which 76 were to support increased resolutions and receivership management
workload. A total of 94 of the 100 new positions are non-permanent.
6

•

The CFO also approved in October 2008 the reallocation of existing budget authority
among eight divisions/offices and among most major expense categories within the
Receivership Funding budget component to reflect updated 2008 expense projections. The
most significant was the reallocation of $6.5 million in budget authority from the Division
of Resolutions and Receiverships (DRR) to the Division of Information Technology (DIT)
to contract for data management services in conjunction with the large volume of
downloaded data from insured institutions. In addition, approximately $2.9 million in
budget authority was reallocated from the Legal Division to five divisions and offices to
provide additional resources for Salaries and Compensation and Travel in those
organizations.

•

In November 2008, the CFO approved a request to reallocate approximately $1.2 million of
budget authority within the Receivership Funding budget component of the Corporate
Operating Budget from the Buildings expense category of the Division of Administration
(DOA) budget to the Equipment expense category of the DIT budget. These funds were
required to purchase equipment for the new temporary West Coast Satellite Office
(WCSO).

•

In December 2008, the CFO approved a request to reallocate $2.6 million of budget
authority among divisions and offices within the Salaries and Compensation expense
category of the Ongoing Operations budget. The Division of Supervision and Consumer
Protection (DSC) received $2.1 million to cover unbudgeted expenses associated with the
2008 Annual Leave Buy-Back Program. Corporate University (CU) received $350,000 for
unbudgeted Salaries and Compensation expenses for detailees to CU from other
organizations and for the extended assignment of Financial Institutions Specialists in the
first year Corporate Employee Program to DRR to assist with increased bank closing
activities. Three smaller organizations received a combined total of $150,000 for projected
shortfalls also caused by detailees and other factors. Offsetting reductions were made in the
budgets of the Legal Division ($1.0 million), DRR ($1.0 million), and the Division of
Finance ($600,000). Funds were available in the budgets of these organizations because of
vacancies in budgeted positions.

•

In December 2008, the CFO approved a request to add $17 million in Receivership Funding
budget authority to the Outside Services – Personnel expense category of the DRR budget.
This was offset by reductions of $13 million in DRR’s budget for Salaries and
Compensation, $1.5 million in the Legal Division’s budget for Salaries and Compensation,
and $2.5 million in the Legal Division’s Outside Services – Personnel budget. The
reallocated budget authority from the Salaries and Compensation expense category was
available due to vacancies in budgeted positions. The excess budget authority in the Legal
Division’s Outside Services – Personnel budget was attributable to lower-than-anticipated
spending for outside legal counsel services.

One modification was made during the fourth quarter to estimated 2008 spending for an
approved Investment Budget project. In November 2008, estimated 2008 spending for the
CDR Call Development investment project was reduced by approximately $644,000. These
funds are available for use in future years in accordance with the Board resolution establishing
the multi-year investment budget for the project. A detailed quarterly report on the status of IT
investment projects, including the CDR Call Development project, is provided separately to the
Board by the Capital Investment Review Committee (CIRC).

Significant Spending Variances
Significant spending variances by major expense category and division/office are discussed
below. Significant spending variances for the year ending December 31, 2008, are defined as
those that either (a) exceed the annual budget for a major expense category or total
division/office budget, or (b) are under the annual budget for a major expense category or
division/office by an amount that exceeds $1 million and represents more than three percent of
the major expense category or total division/office budget.
Significant Spending Variances by Major Expense Category
Ongoing Operations
There were significant spending variances in six major expense categories for the year in the
Ongoing Operations component of the 2008 Corporate Operating Budget:
•

Salaries and Compensation expenditures were $293,000 greater than budgeted. This
overage equates to only 0.04 percent of the budget in this expense category.

•

Outside Services-Personnel expenditures were approximately $11 million, or 6 percent, less
than budgeted. The variance was largely due to lower-than-anticipated litigation expenses
reimbursed to the U.S. Department of Justice for the Goodwill cases; a decision by DIT to
reduce contract spending on discretionary IT efforts because of competing workload
priorities; the continuing delay in starting the interagency SNC Modernization project; and
the deferral of plans to conduct an Identity Theft Media Campaign.

•

Buildings expenditures were $804,000, or 1 percent, greater than budgeted, largely due to
significant increases in property taxes and utilities that could not be fully absorbed within
the approved budget authority for this expense category.

•

Equipment expenditures were approximately $2 million, or 5 percent, more than budgeted,
primarily due to higher-than-expected maintenance costs for commercial software licenses
required to support the large increase in FDIC’s staff and contractors during 2008.

•

Outside Services-Other expenditures were approximately $3 million, or 13 percent, less
than budgeted. The variance was largely due to delayed execution of contracts for the
FDIC’s 75th Anniversary Public Education and public service announcement campaigns.

•

Other Expenses were approximately $1 million, or 10 percent, less than budgeted. The
variance was largely due to under spending of budgeted allowances for Professional
Learning Accounts.

Receivership Funding
The Receivership Funding component of the 2008 Corporate Operating Budget includes
funding for expenses that are incurred in conjunction with institution failures and the
management and disposition of the assets and liabilities of the ensuing receiverships. There
were five major expense categories in which significant spending variances occurred for the
year in the Receivership Funding component of the 2008 Corporate Operating Budget:
8

•

Outside Services-Personnel expenditures were approximately $7 million, or 8 percent,
greater than budgeted. This variance largely reflected the high level of contractor expenses
paid by DRR for receivership management support during the fourth quarter for institutions
that failed during the first nine months of the year. Substantially higher contract expenses
were paid in December for the receiverships associated with those failures than were paid in
October and November. This appears to reflect a failure to track obligations that had been
incurred earlier in the year and to enter invoices promptly into the accounting system for
processing. As a result, no additional budget authority was requested to cover these
contractor expenses. DRR, DOA, and the Division of Finance (DOF) are working together
to improve tracking and coding of contract expenses for receivership management contracts
in 2009.

•

Buildings expenditures were approximately $3 million, or 22 percent, less than budgeted
due to delays in the build-out of the temporary WCSO.

•

Equipment expenditures were $59,000, or 0.5 percent, greater than budgeted, due to the
purchase of IT equipment to support the temporary WCSO.

•

Outside Services-Other expenditures were approximately $1 million, or 64 percent, greater
than budgeted, primarily due to the unanticipated increases in various receivership and
resolution expenses during the year. These expenses included telephone lines for call-in
centers, real estate and personal property taxes, filing fees and other court costs, advertising
costs, and bank service fees.

•

Other Expenses were approximately $5 million, or 53 percent, less than budgeted, primarily
due to under spending in the Other Expenses account for miscellaneous receivership costs.

Significant Spending Variances by Division/Office 1
Seven organizations had significant spending variances for the full 2008 fiscal year:
•

DRR spent approximately $10.9 million, or 7 percent, more than budgeted, including $9.9
million more than budgeted in the Receivership Funding component of its 2008 operating
budget. This was attributable primarily to higher contractor expenses than expected. DRR
also spent approximately $0.7 million, or 776 percent, more than estimated during 2008 for
approved investment projects, including both the 4C and Claims Administration System
(CAS) investment projects. 2

•

Executive Support Offices spent approximately $3.3 million, or 11 percent, less than
budgeted. This variance was largely due to delayed execution of contracts for the FDIC’s
75th Anniversary Public Education and public service announcement campaigns.

Information on division/office variances reflects variances in both the Corporate Operating and Investment Budgets.
A detailed quarterly report on the status of IT investment projects, including the CAS and 4C projects, is provided
separately to the Board by the CIRC.

2

9

•

The Office of Inspector General spent approximately $2.4 million, or 9 percent, less than
budgeted. This variance was primarily due to vacancies in budgeted positions during the
year.

•

The Executive Offices spent approximately $1.2 million, or 14 percent, less than budgeted.
This variance was primarily due to lower-than-anticipated costs for the annual audit by
GAO.

•

DSC spent approximately $0.2 million, or 0.04 percent, more than budgeted.

•

DIT spent approximately $4.2 million, or 15 percent, less than estimated for investment
projects during the year. This was primarily attributable to $3.9 million in under spending
for the multi-year CAS investment project due to delays by the contractor in meeting
project milestones. [Note: This unused Investment Budget authority will be carried over
for use in future periods, but may be used only for CAS.] 3

•

The Division of Insurance and Research (DIR) spent approximately $0.1 million, or 15
percent, more than estimated for investment projects. This was attributable to spending
slightly more than estimated for 2008 on the CDR Call Development investment project. 4
However, total spending for the project is within the multi-year investment budget
approved for this project.

Primary Reserve is the total market value (including accrued interest) of overnight investments, available-for-sale securities,
and held-to-maturity securities maturing within three months.

2

The benchmark is the total return of the Merrill Lynch 1-10 Year U.S. Treasury Index.

3

The Yield-to-Maturity includes the potential yield of Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS), which assumes an average
2.2% annual increase in the CPI over the remaining life of each TIPS.
4

For each TIPS, an estimated 80 percent "yield beta" factor is applied to its real yield duration to arrive at an estimated
effective duration.
5

In early August 2008, management reclassified all of the DIF portfolio's HTM securities as AFS securities effective as of June
30, 2008, because the FDIC could no longer assert it had the posititive intent and ability to hold its HTM securities until their
maturity dates.
