Dividend Announcement 4Q18
The FHLBNY Declares a 6.90% Dividend for the Fourth Quarter of 2018
I am pleased to announce that, on February 13, 2019, our Board of Directors approved a dividend for the fourth quarter of 2018 of 6.90 percent (annualized). The dollar amount of the dividend will be approximately $101.3 million. The cash dividend will be distributed on February 14, 2019.
We achieved very strong results during 2018, with record core earnings and solid advance demand throughout the year. This consistently strong performance is reflected in our quarterly dividend payments, which total $417.6 million paid from 2018 income – a full-year dividend rate of 6.76 percent. We remain focused on serving as a stable and reliable partner for our members, and we are proud to have provided our members with a strong return on their investment in our cooperative in 2018.
We will publish our 2018 audited financial results in our Form 10-K filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which is expected to be filed on or about March 21, 2019.
Sincerely,
José R. González
President and Chief Executive Officer
