Summary

M A JO R OPERATING REVENUES AND EXPENSES
SECOND DISTRICT MEMBER BANKS
1954-1963

Net current operating earnings of $841.8 million for
Second District member banks in 1963 were $5.5 million
over the previous year. This increase was in contrast with
the more than $26 million decline registered in 1962, and
a reversal of the downward trend from the record level of
$916.5 million set in 1960. Despite this overall increase, net
operating earnings of the large New York City banks* con­
tinued to decline, but in an amount substantially less than
that of the previous year. Outside New York City, net earn­
ings rose by $17.5 million.

Total operating revenues continued to rise over preceding
years and the $2.7 billion for 1963 represents an increase
of 18.9 per cent in two years. However, total operating
expenses rose to $1.9 billion, an increase of 31.8 per cent
in the same period. Interest paid on time and savings
deposits totaled $673.5 million, up $138.3 million from the
previous year. Lower net deductions in nonoperating items
allowed net income before related taxes to gain by $38.1
million from the 1962 level. This gain, aided by lower tax
payments, caused largely by a shift to tax-exempt investment
obligations, especially by banks within New York City,
accounted for a rise in net income after taxes. The rise,
offset by only a conservative increase in dividend payments,
produced nearly a 30 per cent gain in net income after divi­
dends over 1962 results. The 1963 increase in retained
income is in sharp contrast with the declines of the two
prior years.

In spite of rising costs, banks this year have been able
to level off some major expense items sufficiently to produce
a small rise in net earnings— the first since 1960. The major
reason for higher net earnings appears to be the continued
increase in loans, particularly mortgage financing and con­
sumer credit, in a volume sufficient to offset the continually
increasing costs of operation.

REVENUES

I

The $216 million rise in total current operating revenue
for 1963 over 1962, an 8.6 per cent increase, was slightly
less than the gain recorded in 1962. The $1.7 billion earn­
ings from loans, however, reflected an 11.0 per cent gain.
This was higher than the gain recorded in 1962 and was
once again due to growth in loan volume. A $1.5 billion
increase in two important loan categories— consumer instal­
ment and real estate loans— more than doubled the rise of
1962, carrying total outstanding loans to a record $35.3
billion for the entire District. Commercial and business

Salaries and wages rose by 4.9 per cent to a record $623.5
million. The percentage rise for these outlays was greater
for banks outside New York City (10.7 per cent) than for
banks in the City (1.6 per cent). Interest and discount on
borrowed money continued on an upward trend and totaled
$11.5 million over 1962. Again, virtually all the increase
stemmed from New York City banks’ borrowings to replen­
ish temporary shortages of reserves. Other items of expense
either held steady or showed minor increases over com­
parable items in 1962.

loans increased by nearly $1 billion over 1962, but accounted
for a smaller portion of total loans than in the previous year.
The decline in income from U. S. Governments and the
higher earnings derived from “ other securities” holdings
reflect the shift by banks into tax-exempt State and munici­
pal securities. A liquidation by the City banks of more
than $900 million of U. S. Government obligations, and
the purchase of nearly $1 billion of other types of securities
(mostly tax-exempt State and municipal obligations) pro­
duced a drop in the earnings from U. S. Governments of
5.5 per cent and an increase in earnings from other securities
of 30.6 per cent over 1962. Banks outside New York City
showed a rise of 5.1 per cent from U. S. Governments and
25.4 per cent from other securities.

Nonoperafing Items, Taxes, Dividends/
and Retained Earnings

Although charge-offs on loans were higher, and profits
and recoveries on securities lower than in the previous year,
any adverse effect that this would have produced on “ net
current operating earnings” was offset by the drop of some
$63 million in “ additions to valuation reserve for loan
losses” from the past year. A substantial reduction of $56.5
million for the same item permitted the New York City banks
to show a rise in net income before taxes of $30.2 million.
Banks outside New York City showed an increase in this
“ net” of only $7.9 million.

Operating Expenses

On the cost side of the picture, total expenses of member
banks in the District rose to $1.9 billion, a substantial dollar
rise over 1962, but at a lower rate than the rise between
1961 and 1962. Since the rate of increase in gross earnings
remained practically unchanged, net operating earnings rose
slightly in contrast with a decline experienced in 1962.
The largest dollar increase in expense was the $138.3
million rise in interest payments on time and savings
accounts. Although substantial, this increase was nearly
$20 million less than the increase incurred in 1962. For the
first time in recent years, interest constituted the largest
single expense item, supplanting salaries and wages. Interest
outlays accounted for nearly 36 per cent of total expenses,
in contrast with about 32 per cent in 1962 and 26 per cent in
1961. The rise resulted mainly from the more than $3 bil­
lion increase in total time and savings deposits; 1963 was
the first full year that many banks felt the effect of the
higher interest rates permitted in 1962.




The heavy investment in tax-exempt securities enabled
Second District banks to show a rise in net income after
taxes of some $74 million, or 16 per cent, over 1962 results.
By comparison, the rise in 1962 over 1961 was less than
$2 million.
Dividends to shareholders continued to increase, with
payments of 4.7 per cent more than in 1962. The total net
income retained after the payment of dividends for all banks
was nearly 30 per cent greater than the corresponding
amount in 1962.

Operating Ratios of Second District Member Banks
for the Year 1963
Summary Ratios

but the percentage of retained earnings
equal to 1962.

The operating ratios of all member banks on a Districtwide basis as tabulated on page 6 show no significant
changes since 1962. Net current operating earnings, both
as a percentage of total capital accounts (# 1 ) and of total
assets (# 7 ), declined only slightly from the previous year.
This decline was, however, not nearly as large as that which
occurred between 1961 and 1962. Total operating revenue
to assets (#5) reached a postwar high in 1963, but was not
large enough to offset the increase in total current operating
expenses (# 6), thus producing the aforementioned decline
in net operating earnings. Net income before taxes as a per­
centage of total capital accounts (# 2 ) also dropped slightly,




(#3 minus # 4 ) was

Sources and Disposition of Earnings

Sources of operating revenues as percentages of total
earnings changed only slightly as reported in ratios #9
through #13. The aforementioned increase in total operating
revenue to assets (#5) reflected the higher income on loans
(# 11 ) that arose largely from a continued buildup of loan
volume. Over the last decade, as Chart 1 shows, the portion
of revenue derived from loans rose from 57.4 per cent in
1954 to 63.2 per cent in 1963. By contrast, the chart indi­
cates the decline in the portion of income derived from U. S.

decreased less than in 1962. Net income as a percentage of
total operating revenue (#26) continued to decrease, but
the drop was less than half that sustained in 1962. The
lower 1963 net income ratio resulted mainly from higher
operating expenses, as the total of nonoperating accounts
(#23) and transfers to valuation reserves (#24) showed
little change. The reduced tax burden (#25), resulting from
lower taxable income, partially offset the higher expenses.

Most of the ratios showing rates of return on securities
and loans give the details accounting for the higher total
current operating revenue. With the exception of New York
City banks in Group VI, the average rate of return on 1963
Government securities holdings (#27) rose over that of
1962. Yields on other securities (#28) increased for five
of the eight bank groups, with Groups II, VII, and VIII
recording declines. The higher interest returns reflect shifts
toward longer maturities as well as the average higher rates
on short-term instruments that prevailed in the 1963 money
markets.

-----------------------

The proportion of total current operating expenses to total
earnings (#21) continued to increase, but the rate of
increase declined sharply compared with 1962. The major
factor in the rise continued to be the interest cost on time
and savings deposits (#18), which absorbed a higher per­
centage of total operating revenues in 1963 than in any
previous year. Underlying the increase was the continuing
rise in interest rates (#41), as shown on Chart 2, and the
growth in time and savings deposits relative to total deposits
(#40). The increase in interest expense was particularly
apparent in the larger New York City banks (Group VII and
Group V III), reflecting the rapid movement of these banks
to the maximum interest rate ceilings, particularly on time
certificates of deposit.
There was no significant change in the other operating
expense ratios. As we have noted in previous years, the
relatively low salary and wage ratios (#16) of certain
groups of banks— such as the largest New York City banks
— are attributable to the high total operating revenues upon
which the ratios are computed, rather than low average
salary levels.
Largely as a result of the less pronounced rate of increase
in total current operating expenses, the ratio of net current
operating earnings to total current operating revenue (# 22)

spread generally throughout the District. All New York
City banks now have more than 25 per cent of their total
deposits in time and savings money. The movement of
banks in Groups VII and VIII above this percentage is due
primarily to the continuing interest of customers in the
negotiable interest-bearing time certificates of deposit.

Distribution of Assets

As shown on Chart 3, the unbroken postwar downward
trend in Second District member banks’ holdings of U. S.
Governments as a proportion of total assets (#32) continued
in 1963, the decline in the past decade approximating 30
per cent. Holdings of other securities (#33), largely the
tax-exempt State, county, and municipal issues, are approxi­
mately 26 per cent higher, while the loan sector (#34)
increased approximately 35 per cent during the same period.
The nonearning cash holdings continued their uninterrupted
descent.
