Indirect lending posted strong growth, increasing by $3.7 billion during the quarter to almost $84.4 billion.
Total shares and deposits were almost flat for the quarter, falling by almost $500 million. As a result, the loan to share ratio rose from 65.92 percent to 67.48 percent.
The industry’s net worth ratio stood at 10.5 percent of assets at the end of the second quarter, up 34 basis points from the end of the second quarter of 2012. The ratio is at its highest level since the fourth quarter of 2008. The industry remains well-capitalized, with 96.2 percent of all federally insured credit unions reporting a net worth above 7.0 percent. In the prior quarter, 95.8 percent were well-capitalized. Only 76 credit unions were undercapitalized as of June 2013 with 7 credit unions critically undercapitalized.
Credit union reported that combined delinquencies and net charge-offs rose by $1.1 billion in the second quarter to $8.1 billion. The delinquency ratio of federally insured credit unions for the second quarter of 2013 was 1.04 percent -- up 2 basis points during the quarter. The industry’s net charge-off ratio declined to an annualized 58 basis points at the end of the second quarter. Since the second quarter of 2012, federally insured credit unions’ net charge-off ratio has declined by 17 basis points.
Driven largely by increases in fee income and declines in loan-loss provisions, federally insured credit unions in the second quarter had a net income of more than $2.2 billion. The industry’s return on average assets ratio stood at an annualized 85 basis points at the end of the second quarter, inching closer to pre-crisis norms. Year-to-date, net income was almost $4.4 billion compared to slightly more than $4.2 billion for the same time period last year.
The rise in medium-term and long-term interest rates during the second quarter caused the accumulated unrealized gains/losses in available for sale securities to move from a gain of $2 billion at the end of the first quarter to a loss of $614 million at the end of the second quarter.

Must be good for all financial institutions. Read that the FDIC reported banks with higher profits for 16 straight quarters. By my math, that is four years even with the "competition" from "tax-avoiding" credit unions.
