Report on the condition of the U.S. banking industry: first quarter, 2005.

Assets and earnings of reporting bank holding companies continued to show healthy growth in the first quarter of 2005. Total assets reached $10.7 trillion, an increase of $355.0 billion from year-end 2004, while net income rose 13.8 percent, to $32.9 billion over the same period.

Securities and money market assets accounted for more than two-thirds of the total growth in assets. Most of this increase occurred at the fifty large bank holding companies (up $185.4 billion, an increase of 6.4 percent) as these large companies added to their holdings of mortgage-backed securities. These acquisitions were made in large part to investment portfolios as companies adjusted their interest rate risk exposures--responding to long-term interest rates that remained unexpectedly low through the quarter despite significant increases in short-term rates--although some firms expanded the securities and other assets they held in trading portfolios. In addition to the fifty large bank holding companies, insurance-oriented financial holding companies added significantly to their securities holdings (up $76.6 billion, an increase of 18.4 percent).

Loans grew somewhat less robustly, rising $71.6 billion, or 1.4 percent, as did unused commitments to lend (up $83.4 billion, or 1.7 percent). Residential mortgage loans, including home equity lines of credit, contributed significantly to this increase. Commercial loans also increased modestly, although some of that rise was due to one-time technical factors and reclassifications. Weakness was evident in credit card balances, attributable to a seasonal slowdown in new credit card spending and significantly accelerated repayments as households shifted some credit card balances to the rapidly growing home-equity loan category. Commercial real estate lending, especially for construction, again was a significant source of growth for the industry.

Nondeposit borrowings increased sharply, rising 6.8 percent ($209.2 billion), as strong asset growth outstripped deposit increases (up $95.7 billion, or 1.8 percent). Although long-term rates remained low, the increase in borrowings was mostly in short-maturity instruments. Regulatory capital ratios remained strong but tightened slightly during the quarter, as Tier 1 and leverage ratios declined 8 basis points and 11 basis points respectively.

Problem assets continued to decline from already-low levels, reaching 0.76 percent of loans and related assets. Net charge-offs also declined to 0.57 percent of average loans, and provisions for loan losses followed suit.

Fueled by asset growth and improved asset quality, net income rose to $32.9 billion, representing a return of 14.84 percent on average equity and 1.24 percent on average assets. Net interest margins narrowed significantly to 3.18 percent compared with 3.28 percent in the fourth quarter of 2004, a constriction that was attributable to the flattening of the yield curve and, to a lesser extent, competitive pressures on loan and deposit spreads. Non-interest income surged, supported by strong trading revenues and mortgage servicing income.

Assets of the securities broker-dealer subsidiaries of reporting bank holding companies jumped 29.8 percent (or $214.2 billion), to $933.4 billion. Nearly all of that increase was from a single large bank holding company (Citigroup), resulting from a clarification of reporting instructions rather than a change in the underlying volumes.

Note: All data are as of the most recent period shown. The historical
figures may not match those in earlier versions of this table because
of mergers, significant acquisitions or divestitures, or revisions or
restatements to bank holding company financial reports. Data for the
most recent period may not include all late-filing institutions.

(1.) Covers top-tier bank holding companies except (1) those with
consolidated assets of less than $150 million and with only one
subsidiary bank and (2) multibank holding companies with consolidated
assets of less than $150 million, with no debt outstanding to the
general public and not engaged in certain nonbanking activities.

(2.) Data for all reporting bank holding companies and the fifty large
bank holding companies reflect merger adjustments to the fifty large
bank holding companies. Merger adjustments account for mergers,
acquisitions, other business combinations and large divestitures that
occurred during the time period covered in the tables so that the
historical information on each of the fifty underlying institutions
depicts, to the greatest extent possible, the institutions as they
exist in the most recent period. In general, adjustments for mergers
among bank holding companies reflect the combination of historical data
from predecessor bank holding companies.

The data for the fifty large bank holding companies have also been
adjusted as necessary to match the historical figures in each company's
most recently available financial statement.

In general, the data are not adjusted for changes in generally accepted
accounting principles.

(3.) Includes minority interests in consolidated subsidiaries.

(4.) Includes credit card lines of credit as well as commercial lines
of credit.

(5.) Includes loans sold to securitization vehicles in which bank
holding companies retain some interest, whether through recourse or
seller-provided credit enhancements or by servicing the underlying
assets. Securitization data were first collected on the FR Y-9C report
for June 2001.

(6.) The notional value of a derivative is the reference amount of an
asset on which an interest rate or price differential is calculated.
The total notional value of a bank holding company's derivatives
holdings is the sum of the notional values of each derivative contract
regardless of whether the bank holding company is a payor or recipient
of payments under the contract. The actual cash flows and fair market
values associated with these derivative contracts are generally only a
small fraction of the contract's notional value.

(7.) Income statement subtotals for all reporting bank holding
companies and the fifty large bank holding companies exclude
extraordinary items, the cumulative effects of changes in accounting
principles, and discontinued operations at the fifty large institutions
and therefore will not sum to Net income. The efficiency ratio is
calculated excluding nonrecurring income and expenses.

(8.) Calculated on a fully-taxable-equivalent basis.

(9.) In general, the fifty large bank holding companies are the fifty
largest bank holding companies as measured by total consolidated assets
for the latest period shown. Excludes a few large bank holding
companies whose commercial banking operations account for only a small
portion of assets and earnings.

(10.) Excludes predecessor bank holding companies that were
subsequently merged into other bank holding companies in the panel of
fifty large bank holding companies. Also excludes those bank holding
companies excluded from the panel of fifty large bank holding companies
because commercial banking operations represent only a small part of
their consolidated operations.

(11.) Exclude qualifying institutions that are not reporting bank
holding companies.

(12.) No data related to financial holding companies and only some data
on nonbanking activities were collected on the FR Y-9C report before
implementation of the Gramm- Leach-Bliley Act in 2000.

(13.) A bank holding company is considered "foreign-owned" if it is
majority-owned by a foreign entity. Data for foreign-owned companies do
not include data for branches and agencies of foreign banks operating
in the United States.

(14.) Total assets of insured commercial banks in the United States as
reported in the commercial bank Call Report (FFIEC 031 or 041, Reports
of Condition and Income). Excludes data for a small number of
commercial banks owned by other commercial banks that file separate
call reports yet are also covered by the reports filed by their parent
banks. Also excludes data for mutual savings banks.

(15.) Data for thrift, foreign nonbank, and other nonbank institutions
are total assets of each type of subsidiary as reported in the FR Y-9LP
report. Data cover those subsidiaries in which the top-tier bank
holding company directly or indirectly owns or controls more than 50
percent of the outstanding voting stock and that has been consolidated
using generally accepted accounting principles. Data for securities
broker-dealers are net assets (that is, total assets, excluding
intercompany transactions) of broker-dealer subsidiaries engaged in
activities pursuant to the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, as reported on
schedule HC-M of the FR Y-9C report. Data for insurance activities are
all insurance-related assets held by the bank holding company as
reported on schedule HC-I of the FR Y-9C report.

Beginning in 2002:Q1, insurance totals exclude intercompany
transactions and subsidiaries engaged in credit-related insurance or
those engaged principally in insurance agency activities. Beginning in
2002:Q2, insurance totals include only newly authorized insurance
activities under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act.

(16.) Aggregate assets of thrift subsidiaries were affected
significantly by the conversion of Charter One's thrift subsidiary
(with assets of $37 billion) to a commercial bank in the second quarter
of 2002 and the acquisition by Citigroup of Golden State Bancorp (a
thrift institution with assets of $55 billion) in the fourth quarter of
2002.

(17.) Changes over time in the total assets of the time-varying panel
of fifty large bank holding companies are attributable to (1) changes
in the companies that make up the panel and (2) to a small extent,
restatements of financial reports between periods.
