Commercial banks and savings insti-tutions (6,656 as of June 30, 2014) insured by the Fed-

eral Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) reported aggregate net income of $40.2 billion in the second quarter of 2014, up $2.0 billion (5.3%) from earnings of $38.2 billion the industry reported a year earlier. The increase in earnings was mainly attributable to a $1.9 billion (22.4%) decline in loan-loss provisions and a $1.5 bil-lion (1.4%) decline in noninterest expenses. Also, strong loan growth contributed to an increase in net in-terest income compared to a year ago. However, lower income from reduced mortgage activity and a drop in trad-ing revenue (at the largest banks) con-tributed to a year-over-year (Y-O-Y) decline in noninterest income. More than half (57.5%) of the insured insti-tutions reporting had Y-O-Y growth in quarterly earnings. The proportion of banks that were unprofitable during the second quarter fell to 6.8% from 8.4% a year earlier. “We saw further improvement in the banking industry during the sec-ond quarter,” FDIC Chairman Martin J. Gruenberg said. “Net income was up, asset quality improved, loan balances grew at their fastest pace since 2007, and loan growth was broad-based across institutions and loan types. We also saw a large decline in the number of problem banks. However, challeng-es remain. Industry revenue has been under pressure from narrow net inter-est margins and lower mortgage-relat-ed income. Institutions have been ex-tending asset maturities, thus raising concerns about interest-rate risk. And banks have been increasing higher-risk loans to leveraged commercial borrowers. These issues are matters of ongoing supervisory attention.

Nonetheless, on balance, results from the second quarter reflect a stronger banking industry and stronger com-munity banks.” Community banks earned $4.9 bil-lion during the quarter. In the Quar-terly Banking Profile, the FDIC now reports on the performance of com-munity banks – those institutions that provide traditional, relationship-based banking services in their local communities. The FDIC Community Banking Study published in December 2012 developed the criteria for com-

munity banks. In the second quarter of 2014 there were 6,163 community banks (93% of all FDIC-insured institu-tions) with assets of $2.0 trillion (13% of industry assets). For those banks, second quarter net income of $4.9 bil-lion was up $166 million (3.5%) from a year earlier, driven by higher net inter-est income and lower loan loss provi-sions. Loan balances at community banks in the second quarter grew at a faster pace than in the industry as a whole; asset quality indicators contin-
