This excerpt taken from the C 10-Q filed Aug 7, 2009. Average Rates- Interest Revenue, Interest Expense, and Net Interest Margin
A significant portion of the Company's business activities are based upon gathering deposits and borrowing money and then lending or investing those funds, including market-making activities in tradable securities. Net interest margin (NIM) is calculated by dividing annualized gross interest revenue less gross interest expense by average interest earning assets. During the second quarter of 2009, the yields across both the interest earning assets as well as the interest earning liabilities dropped significantly from the same period in 2008. The lower cost of funds compared to prior year more than offset the lower asset yields, resulting is slightly higher NIM. Net interest margin decreased compared to the first quarter of 2009, driven mainly by lower yields on the consumer loan portfolio both domestically as well as internationally. The second quarter of 2009 NIM also includes the one-time FDIC special assessment of $333 million, which negatively impacted NIM by 8bps. This charge was included in interest expense on deposits. 54 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
