   uarterly Banking Profile: Fourth Quarter 2013
FDIC-insured  institutions reported aggregate net income of $40.3 billion in the fourth quarter of 2013, a
$5.8 billion (16.9 percent) increase from the $34.4 billion in earnings that the industry reported a year earlier.
This is the 17th time in the last 18 quarters-since the third quarter of 2009-that earnings have registered a
year-over-year increase. The improvement in earnings was mainly attributable to an $8.1 billion decline in
loan-loss provisions. Reduced mortgage origination and sales activity and a drop in trading revenue contributed
to a year-over-year decline in net operating revenue. More than half of the 6,812 insured institutions reporting
(53 percent) had year-over-year growth in quarterly earnings. The proportion of banks that were unprofitable
fell to 12.2 percent, from 15 percent in the fourth quarter of 2012. See page 1.

   Insurance Fund Indicators
   Estimated insured deposits increased by 0.7 percent in the fourth quarter of 2013. The DIF reserve ratio
   was 0.79 percent at December 31, 2013, up from 0.68 percent at September 30, 2013, and 0.44 percent at
   December  31, 2012. Two  FDIC-insured institutions failed during the quarter. See page 15.
