FR Y-9C

Consolidated Financial Statements for Bank Holding Companies

Description: This report collects basic financial data from a domestic bank holding company (BHC) on a consolidated basis in the form of a balance sheet, an income statement, and detailed supporting schedules, including a schedule of off balance-sheet items.

OMB: 7100-0128

Purpose: The information is used to assess and monitor the financial condition of bank holding company organizations, which may include parent, bank, and nonbank entities. The FR Y-9C is a primary analytical tool used to monitor financial institutions between on-site inspections. The form contains more schedules than any of the FR Y-9 series of reports and is the most widely requested and reviewed report at the holding company level.

Background: The report was initiated as the FR Y 9 in 1978. In 1985, the report was revised to parallel the Reports of Condition and Income (Call Report) for commercial banks, and in June 1986, it was extensively revised and split into two reports: FR Y 9C (consolidated statements) and FR Y 9LP (parent-company-only statements). In September 1990, several schedules were added to allow the calculation of risk based capital measures. Inflation, industry consolidation, and normal asset growth of BHCs led to an increase in the asset-size threshold for filing the FR Y-9C from $150 million to $500 million, effective with the March 2006, report date. Consistent with the Call Report, the content and structure of this report are frequently revised in consideration of developments in the banking industry and changes in supervisory, regulatory, and analytical needs. This report is required under Regulation Y and the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 as amended.

Respondent Panel: This report is filed by BHCs with total consolidated assets of $500 million or more. In addition, BHCs meeting certain criteria may be required to file this report, regardless of size. However, when such BHCs own or control, or are owned or controlled by, other BHCs, only top-tier holding companies must file this report for the consolidated holding company organization.

Frequency: Quarterly, as of the last calendar day of the quarter.

Public Release: Data are published in the Federal Reserve Bulletin and the Federal Reserve's Uniform Bank Holding Company Performance Report (BHCPR). With certain exceptions, microdata are considered public information and are available through the Board's Freedom of Information Office.
