2022 Annual Report

“Across almost every key financial measure, CoBank’s performance for the year was the best in the history of the enterprise. Loan volume and net income achieved record levels, while patronage distributions reached almost $1 billion, also an all-time high.
Credit quality in our loan portfolio remained exceptionally strong. Shareholder returns—as measured by the ratio of patronage to active borrower equity—increased to a record 26.1 percent.
These results were attained despite market conditions that were enormously volatile and complex. We are proud of our results for 2022 and the fact that CoBank remains exceptionally well positioned to continue serving our customers and fulfilling our mission of service to rural America in the years ahead.”

– Thomas Halverson, CoBank president and CEO
