The nation’s largest credit unions nearly tripled their earnings margin in the first quarter as loan loss provisions fell back to pre-pandemic levels and cuts in overhead made up for lower income.
A CU Times analysis of NCUA Call Reports filed last week showed the 10 largest credit unions earned $1.2 billion, up from $367.6 million in 2020’s first quarter. Their annualized return on average assets was 1.48%, up from 0.51% a year earlier.
The increase came despite a surge in savings, which contributed to a 12.4% rise in average assets. Loan growth was tepid, with balances rising 4.5% to $201.8 billion.
Originations of all types of loans grew 13.8% to $38.5 billion in the first quarter.
First mortgages remained the engine of loan growth. The Top 10 generated $13.9 billion in first mortgages in the three months ending March 31, up 33% from 2020’s first quarter.
The production was better than the fourth quarter, when first-mortgage originations rose 11% to $12.2 billion, but worse than 2020’s third quarter, when originations rose 42% to $14.6 billion.
“Celebrating 25 Years of Service: Unite, Ignite, and Empower” “We train and support volunteer leaders of credit unions serving first responders to run stronger, more effective institutions.” “Great things happen when credit unions serving first responders come together. Our face-to-face and on-line interaction is the platform where collaboration begins, and GREAT ideas are generated.”
