Financial Results Discussion
Freddie Mac’s second quarter 2017 net income of $1.7 billion and comprehensive income of $2.0 billion decreased $0.5 billion and $0.2 billion, respectively, from the first quarter of 2017. The company’s quarter-over-quarter earnings were relatively stable as market-related impacts remained low.
| | ● | | Net Interest Rate Effect: $0.1 billion(after-tax) estimated fair value loss for the second quarter of 2017 driven by slight decreases in interest rates, compared to near zero(after-tax) estimated fair value gain for the first quarter of 2017 driven by slight increases in interest rates. (See Net Interest Rate Effect table for additional details.) |
| | ● | | Spread Change Effect: $0.1 billion(after-tax) estimated gain for the second quarter of 2017, comparable to the $0.1 billion(after-tax) estimated gain for the first quarter of 2017, as market spreads were relatively unchanged from the first quarter of 2017. |

Selected Financial Measures
| | ● | | Net interest income was $3.4 billion for the second quarter of 2017, a decrease of $0.4 billion, or 11 percent, from the first quarter of 2017 and unchanged from the prior year. |
| | ◾ | The decrease in net interest income from the prior quarter primarily reflected lower amortization income and a 2 percent decline in the balance of the mortgage-related investments portfolio. |

| (1) | Guarantee fee income on a GAAP basis is primarily from the company’s multifamily business and is included in Other income (loss) on Freddie Mac’s condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. |
| | ● | | Guarantee fee income, primarily from the company’s multifamily business, was $158 million for the second quarter of 2017, increasing $9 million, or 6 percent, from the first quarter of 2017 and $34 million from the prior year. |
| | ◾ | The increases in guarantee fee income primarily reflected higher average multifamily guarantee portfolio balances. |
| | ● | | Benefit for credit losses was $422 million, an increase of $306 million from the first quarter of 2017 and a decrease of $353 million from the prior year. |
| | ◾ | The increase in benefit for credit losses from the prior quarter primarily reflected a significant increase in the number of reperforming loans reclassified fromheld-for-investment toheld-for-sale as the company continued to focus on reducing the balance of its less liquid assets. |
| | ◾ | The decrease in benefit for credit losses from the prior year primarily resulted from smaller improvements in probability of default and estimated loss severity in the second quarter of 2017, |

compared to larger improvements in probability of default and estimated loss severity in the second quarter of 2016.
Non-GAAP Financial Measure Highlights
In addition to analyzing the company’s results on a GAAP basis, management reviews certain financial measures on an “adjusted”, ornon-GAAP, basis. The adjusted, ornon-GAAP, financial measures are calculated by reclassifying certain credit guarantee-related activities and investment-related activities between various line items on the company’s GAAP condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Management believes thenon-GAAP financial measures are useful because they more clearly explain the company’s sources of revenue. The company does not present adjusted measures for net income or comprehensive income.
| | ● | | The company’s GAAP net interest income includes the spread earned on its investments activities plus the guarantee fees earned by its single-family business. GAAP guarantee fees are primarily those generated by its multifamily business. |
| | ◾ | Adjusted net interest income is the net spread earned on the company’s investments activities, including the cost of funds associated with using derivatives. |
| | ◾ | Adjusted guarantee fee income consists of the revenues from guarantee fees from both the single-family and multifamily businesses, net of the 10 basis point guarantee fee remitted to Treasury as part of the Temporary Payroll Tax Cut Continuation Act of 2011. |
The two graphs that follow show the company’snon-GAAP financial measures – adjusted net interest income and adjusted guarantee fee income.
| (1) | Non-GAAP financial measure. For reconciliations to the comparable amounts under GAAP, see pages15-16 of this press release. |
| (2) | During the first quarter of 2017, the company discontinued adjustments which reflected the reclassification of amortization of upfront cash paid and received upon acquisitions and issuances of swaptions and options from GAAP derivative gains (losses) to adjusted net interest income. Prior period results have been revised to conform to the current period presentation. |
Note: Amounts may not add due to rounding.
| | ● | | Adjusted net interest income was $1.17 billion, a decrease of $33 million from the first quarter of 2017 and $41 million from the prior year. |
| | ◾ | Adjusted net interest income has remained relatively stable over the last year, despite the expectation of a decline over the long-term, primarily due to higher net interest yield on both other investments and mortgage-related investments. |
Freddie Mac Second Quarter 2017 Financial Results
August 1, 2017
Page 6
| | ◾ | The expectation of a decline in adjusted net interest income over the long-term is primarily a result of the company’s ongoing reduction of its mortgage-related investments portfolio in accordance with the requirements of the Purchase Agreement and FHFA. |
| | ● | | The mortgage-related investments portfolio was $283.7 billion as of June 30, 2017, a decline of $7.5 billion from March 31, 2017. |
| | ◾ | The company remains focused on reducing the balance of less liquid assets in this portfolio. The balance of less liquid assets was $109.2 billion as of June 30, 2017, a decline of $8 billion, or 7 percent, from March 31, 2017. |
| | o | Less liquid assets include reperforming loans, single-family seriously delinquent loans, and mortgage-related securities not guaranteed by a GSE or the U.S. government. |
| (1) | Non-GAAP financial measure. For reconciliations to the comparable amounts under GAAP, see pages15-16 of this press release. |
| (2) | Calculated as annualized quarterly adjusted guarantee fee income divided by the total guarantee portfolio balance. |
Note: Amounts may not add due to rounding.
| | ● | | Adjusted guarantee fee income was $1.67 billion, an increase of $99 million from the first quarter of 2017 and $43 million from the prior year. |
| | ◾ | The increase in adjusted guarantee fee income from the prior quarter primarily reflected higher amortization of single-family upfront fees driven by an increase in loan prepayments during the second quarter of 2017. |
| | ◾ | Adjusted guarantee fee income increased slightly when compared to the prior year driven by continued growth in the total guarantee portfolio. |
| | o | Adjusted guarantee fee income from contractual guarantee fees is expected to increase over the long-term as guarantee fees on new single-family business are generally higher than the fees received on older vintages that continue to run off. |
| | o | Changes in the rates of amortization of single-family upfront fees into income are driven by fluctuating levels of loan prepayments due to changes in interest rates. |
| | ◾ | The total guarantee portfolio balance grew to $1,958 billion at June 30, 2017, an increase of $15 billion, or 1 percent, from March 31, 2017 and $103 billion, or 6 percent, from the prior year. |

| | ◾ | The increase in segment earnings from the prior quarter primarily reflected higher amortization of upfront fees driven by an increase in loan prepayments during the second quarter of 2017. |
| | ◾ | The increase in segment earnings from the prior year was primarily driven by gains due to price improvements on reperforming loans reclassified fromheld-for-investment toheld-for-sale in the second quarter of 2017 compared to losses primarily on seriously delinquent loans reclassified during the second quarter of 2016. |
Business Highlights

| | ◾ | Average guarantee fees on the single-family credit guarantee portfolio were 33.9 basis points, an increase of 1.8 basis points from the first quarter of 2017, primarily due to higher amortization of upfront fees driven by loan prepayments during the second quarter of 2017. |

| | ◾ | The increase in comprehensive income from the prior quarter was primarily driven by higher net interest income on certain multifamily securities and higher guarantee fee income, partially offset by lowermark-to-market gains in the second quarter of 2017. |
| | ◾ | The increase in comprehensive income from the prior year was primarily driven by fair value gains and increased guarantee fee income. |
| | ● | | Derivative gains (losses) for the Multifamily segment are largely offset by interest rate-related fair value changes of the loans and investment securities being economically hedged. As a result, there is minimal net impact on total comprehensive income for the Multifamily segment from interest rate-related derivatives. |
Business Highlights
| | ● | | New purchase volume of $14.1 billion for the second quarter of 2017 increased 11 percent from the first quarter of 2017, while outstanding loan commitments increased $5 billion to $19 billion, reflecting continued strong market demand. |

| | ● | | Capital Markets segment comprehensive income was $746 million for the second quarter of 2017, a decrease of $335 million, or 31 percent, from the first quarter of 2017 and an increase of $467 million from the prior year. |
| | ◾ | The decrease in comprehensive income from the prior quarter was primarily driven by lower amortization income and higher fair value losses as a result of decreases in longer-term interest rates during the second quarter of 2017. |
| | ◾ | The increase in comprehensive income from the prior year was primarily driven by decreased losses due to the use of hedge accounting during the second quarter of 2017. |
| | ● | | On February 2, 2017, the company began using fair value hedge accounting for certain single-family mortgage loans, which reduced its GAAP earnings sensitivity to large interest rate movements by nearly 55 percent in the second quarter of 2017. |
Business Highlights
| | ● | | Continued to responsibly reduce the balance of the company’s mortgage-related investments portfolio, with a focus on reducing the balance of less liquid assets. The Capital Markets segment less liquid assets were $73.3 billion at June 30, 2017, down $2.7 billion, or 4 percent, from March 31, 2017, due primarily to sales of $1.1 billion of reperforming loans and $0.5 billion ofnon-agency mortgage-related securities and ongoing portfolio liquidations. |
| | ● | | The Capital Markets segment securitization pipeline assets, which represent performing single-family loans purchased for cash and held until securitized, were $12.1 billion at June 30, 2017, up $4.4 billion from March 31, 2017. |
| | ● | | Continued to maintain a presence in the agency mortgage-related securities market to strategically support the guarantee business. |
| | ◾ | Liquid assets held by the Capital Markets segment were $137 billion at June 30, 2017, or 62 percent of the portfolio. |

About Freddie Mac’s Conservatorship
Since September 2008, Freddie Mac has been operating under conservatorship, with FHFA as Conservator. The support provided by Treasury pursuant to the Purchase Agreement enables the company to maintain access to the debt markets and to have adequate liquidity to conduct its normal business operations.
Treasury Draw Requests and Dividend Payments
| (1) | Excludes the initial $1 billion liquidation preference of senior preferred stock issued to Treasury in September 2008 as consideration for Treasury’s funding commitment. The company received no cash proceeds as a result of issuing this initial $1 billion liquidation preference of senior preferred stock. |
Note: Amounts may not add due to rounding.
| | ● | | Based on our Net Worth Amount of $2.6 billion as of June 30, 2017 and the Capital Reserve Amount of $600 million in 2017, our dividend requirement to Treasury in September 2017 will be $2.0 billion. If the Conservator declares a senior preferred stock dividend equal to our dividend requirement and directs us to pay it before September 30, 2017, we would expect to pay a dividend of $2.0 billion by September 30, 2017. |
| | ◾ | The applicable capital reserve amount is $600 million for 2017 and will be zero beginning on January 1, 2018. |
| | ◾ | The declining capital reserve required under the terms of the Purchase Agreement (ultimately reaching zero in 2018) increases the risk of Freddie Mac having a negative net worth and thus being required to draw from Treasury. |
| | ● | | Aggregate cash dividends paid to Treasury totaled $108.2 billion, $36.9 billion more than cumulative cash draws of $71.3 billion received from Treasury through June 30, 2017. |
| | ● | | The amount of funding available to Freddie Mac under the Purchase Agreement remains unchanged at $140.5 billion and will be reduced by any future draws. |
| | ● | | Treasury still maintains a liquidation preference of $72.3 billion on the company’s senior preferred stock as of June 30, 2017. |
| | ◾ | The payment of dividends does not reduce the outstanding liquidation preference under the Purchase Agreement, although we are permitted to pay down the liquidation preference of the outstanding shares of senior preferred stock to the extent of accrued and unpaid dividends previously added to the liquidation preference and not previously paid down. |
| | ◾ | Freddie Mac is not permitted to redeem the senior preferred stock prior to the termination of Treasury’s funding commitment under the Purchase Agreement. |

Freddie Mac Second Quarter 2017 Financial Results
August 1, 2017
Page 16
During the first quarter of 2017, the company changed how it calculates certain components of its Segment Earnings for its Capital Markets segment. The purpose of this change is to simplify Segment Earnings results relative to GAAP results in order to better reflect how management evaluates the Capital Markets segment. Prior period results have been revised to conform to the current period presentation. The change to the calculation of net interest income for the Capital Markets segment is also reflected in the company’s calculation of adjusted net interest income.
The change includes:
| | • | | The discontinuation of adjustments which reflected the reclassification of amortization of upfront cash paid and received upon acquisitions and issuances of swaptions and options from derivative gains (losses) to net interest income for the Capital Markets segment. |
| | o | The discontinuation of the adjustments resulted in an increase to adjusted net interest income of $281 million, $319 million, $402 million, and $347 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, June 30, 2016, September 30, 2016, and December 31, 2016, respectively, to align with the current presentation. This change did not affect the calculation of adjusted guarantee fee income. |
Notes on Significant Reclassifications
(1) Net guarantee fees are reclassified from GAAP net interest income to adjusted guarantee fee income.
(2) Implied guarantee fee income related to unsecuritized loans held in the mortgage investments portfolio is reclassified from GAAP net interest income to adjusted guarantee fee income.
(3) The accrual of periodic cash settlements of all derivatives is reclassified from GAAP derivative gains (losses) into adjusted net interest income to fully reflect the periodic cost associated with the protection provided by these contracts.
(4)Other reclassifications primarily relate to items reclassified out of GAAP net interest income, including the amortization of premiums and discounts associated with the company’s PCs and the loans underlying those PCs, amortization ofnon-cash premiums on single-family loans in trusts and on consolidated PCs, amortization of discounts on loans purchased with deteriorated credit quality that are on accrual status, the accretion of other-than-temporary impairments onavailable-for-sale securities, STACR debt note expense and net float income or expense.
(5)The expense related to the Temporary Payroll Tax Cut Continuation Act of 2011 is reclassified from GAAP othernon-interest expense to adjusted guarantee fee income. As a result of the reclassification, the revenue and expense related to the legislated 10 basis point increase are netted within adjusted guarantee fee income.
