EARNINGS, EXPENSES, NET CURRENT
OPERATING EARNINGS, A N D NET PROFITS
OF SECOND DISTRICT MEMBER BANKS
1951-60

Net operating earnings of Second District member banks
in 1960 rose 14.5 per cent above the record high earnings in
1959, despite divergent economic trends that developed dur­
ing the year. Late in August, major banks in New York
City initiated a reduction in the 5 per cent prime rate, which
had been in effect since September 1, 1959, to 4.5 per cent.
Since a large portion of the loan portfolio—including mort­
gage and consumer credit as well as outstanding term loans
—is not readily responsive to the prime rate, the reduction
did not adversely affect total earnings from the larger loan
volume. While loan earnings reflected higher average inter­
est rates on increased average volume outstanding, earnings
on U.S. Government and other securities showed only a
modest increase over 1959—a netting of lower average hold­
ings and slightly higher yields. Despite sharply increased
net profits after adjustments for nonoperating gains, losses,
and taxes, cash dividends were only slightly higher. As a
result, average capital accounts at Second District member
banks were strengthened during the 1960 banking year.

O pe ra ting Earnings

improved by the higher average yield for all member banks
in the District, 3.16 per cent contrasted with 2.84 per cent
in 1959. Central reserve city banks averaged even higher
returns than other banks in the District. The switching
operations of these banks, from long to short maturities in
the early part of the year also provided advantages of
liquidity.

Approximately 80 per cent of the total $224 million gain
in gross operating earnings can be attributed to higher re­
turns on loans, an asset category that has been accounting
for a growing proportion of total operating earnings through­
out the postwar years. The most significant increases in the
major types of loans for all member banks since the end of
1959 were in commercial loans (higher by 4.3 per cent) and
consumer loans, which increased at more than double the
rate of commercial loans.
Federal Reserve action during the final months of 1960
affected the availability of funds and the potential lending
power of member banks. Permission for all member banks’
vault cash to be counted as reserves became effective Nov­
ember 24, and central reserve city banks’ reserve require­
ments were lowered effective December 1 (country banks’
reserve requirements were raised slightly, partially offsetting
the effect of the new vault cash rules). These changes only
slightly affected 1960 earnings.
Earnings on U. S. Government and other securities were




O pe ra tin g Expenses

Personnel expenses were higher because of improved
salary scales and the increased number of officers and em­
ployees. Increased interest outlays on time and savings
deposits reflected primarily higher average interest rates
paid. The interest costs have increased until they now
account for almost one-quarter of all operating expenses—
in contrast to less than 10 per cent a decade ago. Interest and
discount on borrowed money also increased in 1960 as a
result of pressures on some banks to borrow reserves,
particularly during the early portion of the year.

member banks was about 76 per cent higher than in 1959,
when substantial losses on security sales resulted in tax
savings.
j&
Against the favorable 1960 background, dividends were
only slightly higher than in 1959 and represented less than
one-half of the net profits available either for distribution to
stockholders or addition to capital funds. (By contrast, the
portion paid out during 1959 absorbed two-thirds of net
profits.) As a result, retained 1960 earnings, even exclusive
of transfers to valuation reserves, were more than double
the dollar amount in 1959. Viewed differently, the remain­
ing 1960 net profits available for strengthening capital
accounts amounted to $5.04 per $100 of average capital
in contrast to less than half that amount, $2.44 per $100,
for the earlier year.

Nonoperating Items

The netting of all nonoperating items in 1960 resulted in
only modest deductions from income of banks both within
and outside New York City—unlike 1959 when improved
operating earnings were diminished by heavy securities losses
taken largely to expand loanable funds. Among nonoperating
transactions, however, both groups of banks showed net
charge-offs on loans, the bulk taken by the central reserve
New York City banks. (The adverse situation resulting from
political developments in Cuba accounted for unusually large
charge-offs of presently uncollectible loans.)

PART II
O p e ra tin g Ratios of Second District M e m b e r Banks
for the Y e a r 1960
A larger proportion of earnings derived from loans charac­
terized the averages for each of the eight deposit groupings,
with the averages of those groups with greater deposits being
generally higher: the smallest size group of banks—those
under $2 million deposits—obtained 59.7 per cent of their
total earnings from loan income, and Group V banks, with
deposits of $50 million or over, received 65.3 per cent of
their income from this source. In comparing group results,
however, it should be noted that the ratios of loans to total
assets of individual banks vary greatly within a group. (It
might also be noted that a number of factors qualify the
ratio of loans to total assets as a generally used measure
of a bank’s liquidity, such as its capital strength, the types
of loans that comprise its portfolio, and the characteristics
of the community it serves.)
Total operating expenses were slightly lower in relation
to total earnings ( # 19) than in 1959. This lower ratio was
the result of total earnings increasing more rapidly than
major expenses, rather than lowered dollar costs. For ex­
ample, the expenses of salaries and wages ( #16) and other

S u m m a ry Ratios

Net current earnings ratios (# 1 and # 7 ) of all District
member banks were higher in 1960 than in the preceding
year, largely because of firmer rates of return both on loans
and securities. Improvement was also shown in the net profits
ratio in relation to total capital accounts ( # 3 ) and to total
assets ( # 8 ) . For all member banks in the District, the
ratio of return on capital rose to the highest level since 1954
and above the average for the last ten years. In spite of
these favorable net profit ratios, cash dividends were in­
creased only slightly, partly because of the necessity of
retaining more earnings to maintain the capital to risk asset
ratio ( # 36) which was not as favorable in 1960.
Sources a n d Disposition of Earnings

Earnings on loans continued the trend of recent years,
accounting for a greater proportion of earnings. This
source ( # 1 1 ) contributed an even larger share than in
any previous year for which operating ratios were published.

tax exempt State and municipal issues. As shown, these
usually represent more permanent investments and therefore
reflect only slight changes in relation to assets ( #31) from
one year to the next.

current expenses ( # 18) both accounted for a lesser pro­
portion of total earnings than in 1959 despite higher outlays.
By contrast, increased interest cost on time and savings
deposits registered a higher proportion of total earnings
( #17) .

Capital and Deposit Ratios

Rates of Return on Securities and Loans

The capital and deposit ratios show the growth of capital
accounts keeping pace with deposit and asset growth. High
average loan and interest rate levels reached in 1960 afforded
the opportunity to upgrade capital ratios, but the increase
in capital has not maintained pace with the rising invest­
ment in risk assets. Although the ratios of capital to total
assets and to total deposits ( # 35 and #37) indicated virtual
constancy or modest strengthening, the capital to risk assets
ratio ( #36) showed some weakening as a result of loan
expansion.
The ratio of time deposits to total deposits ( # 38) for all
Second District banks continued to grow until time deposits
accounted for one-half of total deposits in 1960. This in­
creased ratio was not, however, reflected at the largest banks.
Outlays for attracting and retaining time and savings
accounts ( # 39) were reflected in the 2.60 per cent average
interest rate on time deposits in 1960 contrasted with 2.37
per cent in 1959. The average interest rate has risen steadily
in each year since 1951.

The higher rates yielded in 1960 on loans ( # 28) and
securities ( # 2 5 and # 2 6 )—coupled with a heavier weight
of loans in total assets ( # 32)—were largely responsible for
the improved total earnings on assets ( # 5 ) .
Most banks in all size groups absorbed some losses on
securities ( #27) in 1960, but the loss on average holdings
for all banks in the District was minor compared to 1959.
Net losses on loans ( # 29) were slightly higher than the
District average for 1959, resulting partially from less favor­
able economic conditions that prevailed during the latter
part of the year.
Distribution of Assets

The ratios of assets held in U.S. Government securities
and loans ( # 3 0 and #32) continued the unbroken trend
evidenced throughout the past ten years of shifting out of
securities in favor of expanding loans at profitable rates, as
the accompanying chart shows. Other securities are largely

P e r cent

In the tables of operating ratios shown on the following
pages, banks located outside New York City are included
in Groups I through V, ranged by deposit size, and New
York City banks are apportioned among Groups VI through
VIII. The blank column accompanying each size group is
for your convenience, enabling you to enter the ratios of
your bank for quick comparisons with the group averages.
Comparisons between the earnings and expense data in
Part I and the operating ratios are inappropriate because
the former are total amounts from reports of all Second
District member banks, while the operating ratios are arith­
metical averages of the ratios of individual banks in each
group.

P er cent

A change has been made this year in the groupings of
banks located outside New York City. The increasing deposit
size of banks formerly grouped in the highest category—over
$20 million—required further subdividing of that former
Group IV classification: a new Group V has been created for
banks having deposits of $50 million or over. The 1959
ratios have not been re-computed separately for each of the
two new groupings.

* New York City banks include only those banks which
have their main office located in Manhattan. One trust com­
pany was not included in the computation of average ratios.
1 Includes service charges and other fees on loans.
2 Banks not reporting this item or reporting negligible
amounts were excluded in computing this average.
3 Includes recoveries, charge-offs, profits, or losses charged
or credited to either undivided profits or valuation reserves.
4 Represents the net increase or decrease for the year in
valuation reserves against loans and investments. Calculated
by deducting the balances in Schedule D of the earnings and
dividends report at the end of the preceding year from the
balance on hand at the end of the current year.
5 Transfers to and from valuation reserves for losses on
securities excluded.
6 Transfers to and from valuation reserves for losses on
loans excluded.
a Less than 0.01 per cent.
b Averages are not shown when fewer than three banks
are in a group.
c The ratios in the 1959 column are of banks (121 in
number) with deposits of $20 million or over. For 1960,
banks with deposits of $20 million or over were segregated
into two groups, Group IV (64 banks with deposits of $20
million to $50 million) and Group V (56 banks with deposits
of $50 million or over); the 1960 ratios were computed
separately for each of the two groups.

Year-to-year comparisons by size-groups may be
affected by mergers and shifts of banks from one sizegroup to another.
