Fannie Mae Reports Pre-Tax Income of $8.1 Billion for First Quarter 2013
Release of Valuation Allowance on Deferred Tax Assets
Adds $50.6 Billion to Quarterly Net Income
Company Reported Net Income of $58.7 Billion for the First Quarter of 2013
• | Strong credit results and increased revenue resulted in pre-tax income of $8.1 billion for the first quarter, the largest quarterly pre-tax income in the company’s history. |
• | Improvement in Fannie Mae’s financial results, the strong credit profile of the company’s new book of business, and other factors enabled the company to release $50.6 billion valuation allowance on deferred tax assets. |
• | Based on net worth of $62.4 billion at March 31, 2013, the company’s dividend obligation to Treasury will be $59.4 billion by June 30, 2013. After the June payment, we will have paid an aggregate of $95.0 billion in cash dividends to Treasury since conservatorship began. Senior preferred stock outstanding and held by Treasury remained $117.1 billion at March 31, 2013, as dividend payments do not offset prior Treasury draws. |
• | Fannie Mae has funded the mortgage market with approximately $3.5 trillion in liquidity since 2009, enabling families to buy, refinance, or rent a home. |
WASHINGTON, DC - Fannie Mae (FNMA/OTC) reported pre-tax income of $8.1 billion for the first quarter of 2013, compared with pre-tax income of $2.7 billion in the first quarter of 2012 and pre-tax income of $7.6 billion in the fourth quarter of 2012. Fannie Mae’s pre-tax income for the first quarter of 2013 was the largest quarterly pre-tax income in the company’s history. The improvement in the company’s results in the first quarter of 2013 compared with the first quarter of 2012 was due primarily to strong credit results driven by an increase in home prices, including higher average sales prices on Fannie Mae-owned properties, a decline in the number of delinquent loans, and the company’s resolution agreement with Bank of America. Including Fannie Mae’s release of the valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets, the company reported quarterly net income of $58.7 billion for the first quarter of 2013. Fannie Mae reported comprehensive income of $59.3 billion in the first quarter of 2013, compared with comprehensive income of $3.1 billion for the first quarter of 2012.
As a result of actions to strengthen its financial performance and continued improvement in the housing market, Fannie Mae’s financial results have improved significantly over the past five quarters. Based on analysis of all relevant factors, Fannie Mae determined that the release of the valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets was appropriate under generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), which resulted in a benefit for federal income taxes of $50.6 billion. The release of the valuation allowance in
First Quarter 2013 Results | 1 |
addition to operating income and comprehensive income for the first quarter of 2013 will result in a dividend payment to taxpayers of $59.4 billion in the second quarter of 2013.
DEFERRED TAX ASSET VALUATION ALLOWANCE
Each quarter, Fannie Mae evaluates the recoverability of its deferred tax assets, weighing a complex set of factors. The company is required to establish or maintain a valuation allowance for these assets if it determines that it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Fannie Mae established a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets in 2008.
After evaluating the recoverability of Fannie Mae’s deferred tax assets, as of March 31, 2013, the company determined that the factors in favor of releasing the allowance outweighed the factors in favor of maintaining it under GAAP. Therefore, Fannie Mae released its valuation allowance as of March 31, 2013, except for amounts that will be released against income before federal income taxes for the remainder of the year.
The release of the valuation allowance resulted in the recognition of $50.6 billion as a benefit for federal income taxes. The company reported net income of $58.7 billion for the first quarter of 2013, which includes the impact of the release of the deferred tax asset valuation allowance and quarterly pre-tax income of $8.1 billion. Fannie Mae will pay Treasury $59.4 billion in dividends in the second quarter of 2013, which reflects the company’s net worth as of March 31, 2013 less the $3.0 billion capital reserve applicable in 2013 under the terms of the senior preferred stock purchase agreement. The company expects to remain profitable for the foreseeable future. As of June 30, 2013, Fannie Mae will have paid $95 billion in dividends to Treasury under the senior preferred stock purchase agreement. Senior preferred stock outstanding and held by Treasury remained $117.1 billion as of March 31, 2013, as dividend payments do not offset prior Treasury draws.
The release of the valuation allowance on the company’s deferred tax assets does not include $491 million related to the valuation allowance that pertains to our capital loss carryforwards, which the company believes will expire unused. The company expects that the remaining valuation allowance not related to capital loss carryforwards will be reduced against income before federal income taxes throughout the remaining quarters of 2013 until that amount is reduced to zero as of December 31, 2013. The timing of the reduction of this remaining valuation allowance will be determined by the timing of the company’s estimated income for 2013. Income before federal income taxes recorded for the remainder of 2013 may be greater or less than our current estimate. If income before federal income taxes recorded for the remainder of 2013 is greater than the company’s current estimate, the company will recognize a provision for federal income taxes in subsequent periods of 2013. Conversely, if income before federal income taxes recorded for the remainder of 2013 is lower than the company’s current estimate, the company will recognize an additional benefit for income taxes in subsequent periods of 2013. Starting in 2014, Fannie Mae expects that its effective tax rate will approach the statutory tax rate.
For information on the release of the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, please refer to the company’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 (“First Quarter 2013 Form 10-Q”).

RESOLUTION AGREEMENT WITH BANK OF AMERICA
Fannie Mae’s pre-tax income for the first quarter of 2013 was impacted by its resolution agreement with Bank of America related to repurchase requests. This agreement led to the recognition of approximately $800 million in pre-tax income for the first quarter of 2013. In addition, the company expects to recognize pre-tax income in future periods relating to a separate resolution agreement with Bank of America on compensatory fees.
Repurchase Request Resolution Agreement: On January 6, 2013, Fannie Mae entered into a resolution agreement with affiliates of Bank of America Corporation to resolve certain repurchase requests arising from breaches of selling representations and warranties. The resolution agreement resolved the company’s outstanding and expected future repurchase requests arising from breaches of selling representations and warranties on specified single-family loans delivered to Fannie Mae by Bank of America and Countrywide that were originated between January 1, 2000 and December 31, 2008. The resolution agreement included, among other things, the following components:
• | Bank of America made a cash payment to Fannie Mae of $3.6 billion in January 2013 related to repurchase requests; |
• | Bank of America repurchased approximately 29,500 loans from Fannie Mae in January 2013 for an aggregate repurchase price of $6.6 billion, subject to a reconciliation process; and |
• | Bank of America made an initial cash payment of $518 million in January 2013 related to mortgage insurance claims. |
The resolution agreement addressed $11.3 billion of unpaid principal balance, or 97 percent, of Fannie Mae’s outstanding repurchase requests made to Bank of America as of December 31, 2012. Accordingly, the amount of Fannie Mae’s outstanding repurchase requests to Bank of America decreased substantially in the first quarter of 2013 to 10 percent of the company’s total repurchase requests outstanding as of March 31, 2013, compared with 73 percent of Fannie Mae’s total repurchase requests outstanding as of December 31, 2012.
For information on the resolution agreement with Bank of America, please refer to the company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.
ABOUT FANNIE MAE’S CONSERVATORSHIP
Fannie Mae has operated under the conservatorship of the Federal Housing Finance Agency (“FHFA”) since September 6, 2008. Fannie Mae has not received funds from Treasury since the first quarter of 2012. The funding the company has received under the senior preferred stock purchase agreement with the U.S. Treasury has provided the company with the capital and liquidity needed to maintain its ability to fulfill its mission of providing liquidity and support to the nation’s housing finance markets and to avoid a trigger of mandatory receivership under the Federal Housing Finance Regulatory Reform Act of 2008. For periods through March 31, 2013, Fannie Mae has requested cumulative draws totaling $116.1 billion. Under the senior preferred stock purchase agreement, the payment of dividends cannot be used to offset prior Treasury draws. Accordingly, while Fannie Mae has paid $35.6 billion in dividends to Treasury through March 31, 2013, Treasury still maintains a liquidation preference of $117.1 billion on the company’s senior preferred stock.
In August 2012, the terms governing the company’s dividend obligations on the senior preferred stock were amended. The amended senior preferred stock purchase agreement does not allow the company to
First Quarter 2013 Results | 3 |
build a capital reserve. Beginning in 2013, the required senior preferred stock dividends each quarter equal the amount, if any, by which the company’s net worth as of the end of the preceding quarter exceeds an applicable capital reserve amount. The applicable capital reserve amount is $3.0 billion for each quarter of 2013 and will be reduced by $600 million annually until it reaches zero in 2018.
The amount of remaining funding available to Fannie Mae under the senior preferred stock purchase agreement with Treasury is currently $117.6 billion.
Fannie Mae is not permitted to redeem the senior preferred stock prior to the termination of Treasury’s funding commitment under the senior preferred stock purchase agreement. The limited circumstances under which Treasury’s funding commitment will terminate are described in “Business—Conservatorship and Treasury Agreements” in the company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.
PROVIDING LIQUIDITY AND SUPPORT TO THE MARKET
Fannie Mae provided approximately $3.5 trillion in liquidity to the mortgage market from January 1, 2009 through March 31, 2013 through its purchases and guarantees of loans, which enabled borrowers to complete 10.6 million mortgage refinancings and 2.9 million home purchases, and provided financing for 1.8 million units of multifamily housing.
The company remained the largest single issuer of single-family mortgage-related securities in the secondary market in the first quarter of 2013, with an estimated market share of new single-family mortgage-related securities issuances of 48 percent, compared with 48 percent in the fourth quarter of 2012 and 51 percent in the first quarter of 2012.
First Quarter 2013 Results | 4 |
Fannie Mae also remained a constant source of liquidity in the multifamily market. As of December 31, 2012 (the latest date for which information is available), the company owned or guaranteed approximately 22 percent of the total outstanding debt on multifamily properties.
HELPING TO BUILD A NEW HOUSING FINANCE SYSTEM
In addition to continuing to provide liquidity and support to the mortgage market, Fannie Mae has devoted significant resources toward helping to build a new housing finance system for the future, primarily through pursuing the strategic goals identified by its conservator, FHFA. These strategic goals are: build a new infrastructure for the secondary mortgage market; gradually contract the company’s dominant presence in the marketplace while simplifying and shrinking its operations; and maintain foreclosure prevention activities and credit availability for new and refinanced mortgages.
CREDIT QUALITY
New Single-Family Book of Business: While making it possible for families to purchase, refinance, or rent a home, Fannie Mae is setting responsible credit standards to protect homeowners as well as taxpayers. Since 2009, Fannie Mae has seen the effect of the actions it took, beginning in 2008, to significantly strengthen its underwriting and eligibility standards and change its pricing to promote sustainable homeownership and stability in the housing market. As of March 31, 2013, 69 percent of Fannie Mae’s single-family guaranty book of business consisted of loans it had purchased or guaranteed since the beginning of 2009. While Fannie Mae does not yet know how the single-family loans the company has acquired since January 1, 2009 will ultimately perform, given their strong credit risk profile and based on their performance so far, the company expects that these loans, in the aggregate, will be profitable over their lifetime, meaning the company’s fee income on these loans will exceed the company’s credit losses and administrative costs for them.
First Quarter 2013 Results | 5 |
Single-family conventional loans acquired by Fannie Mae during the first quarter of 2013 had a weighted average borrower FICO credit score at origination of 757 and an average original loan-to-value (“LTV”) ratio of 75 percent. The average original LTV ratio for the company’s acquisitions increased for the full year of 2012 and for the first quarter of 2013 as compared to the applicable prior year period because the company acquired more loans with higher LTV ratios in these periods than in the prior periods as changes to the Home Affordable Refinance Program (“HARP”) were implemented.
Loss Reserves: The company’s total loss reserves decreased to $60.2 billion as of March 31, 2013 from $62.6 billion as of December 31, 2012. The company’s total loss reserves peaked at $76.9 billion as of December 31, 2011.
First Quarter 2013 Results | 6 |
Fannie Mae’s single-family serious delinquency rate has declined each quarter since the first quarter of 2010, and was 3.02 percent as of March 31, 2013, compared with 5.47 percent as of March 31, 2010. This decrease is primarily the result of home retention solutions, foreclosure alternatives, and completed foreclosures, as well as the company’s acquisition of loans with stronger credit profiles since the beginning of 2009.
HOME RETENTION SOLUTIONS AND FORECLOSURE ALTERNATIVES
To reduce the credit losses Fannie Mae ultimately incurs on its legacy book of business, the company has been focusing its efforts on several strategies, including reducing defaults by offering home retention solutions, such as loan modifications. Fannie Mae completed more than 43,000 loan modifications during the first quarter of 2013, bringing the total number of loan modifications the company has completed since January 1, 2009 to approximately 922,000.
Fannie Mae views foreclosure as a last resort. For homeowners and communities in need, the company offers alternatives to foreclosure. These solutions have enabled 1.3 million homeowners to avoid
First Quarter 2013 Results | 7 |
foreclosure since 2009. In dealing with homeowners in distress, the company first seeks home retention solutions, which enable borrowers to stay in their homes, before turning to foreclosure alternatives. When there is no viable home retention solution or foreclosure alternative that can be applied, the company seeks to move to foreclosure expeditiously in an effort to minimize prolonged delinquencies that can hurt local home values and destabilize communities.

REFINANCING INITIATIVES
Through the company’s Refi Plus™ initiative, which offers refinancing flexibility to eligible Fannie Mae borrowers and includes HARP, the company acquired approximately 330,000 loans in the first quarter of 2013. Some borrowers’ monthly payments increased as they took advantage of the ability to refinance through Refi Plus to reduce the term of their loan, to switch from an adjustable-rate mortgage to a fixed-rate mortgage, or to switch from an interest-only mortgage to a fully amortizing mortgage. Even taking these into account, refinancings delivered to Fannie Mae through Refi Plus in the first quarter of 2013 reduced borrowers’ monthly mortgage payments by an average of $246.

APPENDIX
SUMMARY OF FIRST QUARTER 2013 RESULTS
Fannie Mae reported pre-tax income of $8.1 billion and net income of $58.7 billion for the first quarter of 2013, compared with net income of $7.6 billion for the fourth quarter of 2012 and $2.7 billion for the first quarter of 2012.

Net revenues were $6.9 billion for the first quarter of 2013, compared with $5.9 billion for the fourth quarter of 2012. Net interest income was $6.3 billion, compared with $5.6 billion for the fourth quarter of 2012. The increase in net interest income compared with the fourth quarter of 2012 was driven by the recognition of $518 million of unamortized cost basis adjustments related to loans repurchased by Bank of America under the January 6, 2013 resolution agreement. In addition, net interest income increased due to increased income on guaranty fees and accelerated amortization income driven by the high volume of prepayments. The increase was partially offset by lower net interest income from portfolio assets due to a decline in the company’s retained portfolio.

Credit-related income, which consists of recognition of a benefit for credit losses and foreclosed property income, was $1.2 billion in the first quarter of 2013, compared with $2.4 billion in credit-related income in the fourth quarter of 2012. The company recorded credit-related income in the first quarter of 2013 and full year of 2012 due largely to an increase in home prices.
Credit losses, which the company defines as net charge-offs plus foreclosed property expense, excluding the effect of certain fair-value losses, were $1.5 billion in the first quarter of 2013, compared with $2.2 billion in the fourth quarter of 2012. Credit losses were down in the first quarter of 2013 compared with the fourth quarter of 2012 due primarily to improved sales prices on Fannie Mae-owned properties, a decrease in volume of foreclosure and short sale activity, and the resolution agreement with Bank of America, which contributed to an increase in the amount of recoveries on previously charged-off loans.
First Quarter 2013 Results | 12 |
Total loss reserves, which reflect the company’s estimate of the probable losses the company has incurred in its guaranty book of business, including concessions it granted borrowers upon modification of their loans, were $60.2 billion as of March 31, 2013, compared with $62.6 billion as of December 31, 2012. The total loss reserve coverage to total nonperforming loans was 25 percent as of March 31, 2013 and as of December 31, 2012.
Net fair value gains were $834 million in the first quarter of 2013, compared with $209 million in the fourth quarter of 2012. The company recorded fair value gains in the first quarter of 2013 due to derivative gains because interest rates increased in the first quarter of 2013 and due to fair value gains on our trading securities due to improved prices on our private-label securities. The estimated fair value of the company’s trading securities and derivatives may fluctuate substantially from period to period because of changes in interest rates, credit spreads, and interest rate volatility, as well as activity related to these financial instruments.

The business groups running Fannie Mae’s three reporting segments – its Single-Family business, its Multifamily business, and its Capital Markets group – engage in complementary business activities in pursuing the company’s mission of providing liquidity, stability, and affordability to the U.S. housing market. The company’s Single-Family and Multifamily businesses work with Fannie Mae’s lender customers, who deliver mortgage loans that the company purchases and securitizes into Fannie Mae MBS. The Capital Markets group manages the company’s investment activity in mortgage-related assets and other interest-earning non-mortgage investments, funding investments in mortgage-related assets primarily with proceeds received from the issuance of Fannie Mae debt securities in the domestic and international capital markets. The Capital Markets group also provides liquidity to the mortgage market through short-term financing and other activities.
Single-Family business had net income of $34.9 billion in the first quarter of 2013, compared with $4.0 billion in the fourth quarter of 2012. The increase in net income in the first quarter of 2013 compared with the fourth quarter of 2012 was due primarily to the release of the company’s valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets. Single-family business had pre-tax income of $3.3 billion, compared with $4.0 billion in the fourth quarter of 2012. The decrease in pre-tax income in the first quarter of 2013 compared with the fourth quarter of 2012 was due primarily to lower credit-related income. The Single-Family guaranty book of business was $2.84 trillion as of March 31, 2013, compared with $2.83 trillion as of December 31, 2012. Single-Family guaranty fee income was $2.4 billion in the first quarter of 2013 and $2.3 billion in the fourth quarter of 2012.
Multifamily had net income of $8.5 billion in the first quarter of 2013, compared with $447 million in the fourth quarter of 2012. The increase in net income in the first quarter of 2013 compared with the fourth quarter of 2012 was due primarily to the release of the company’s valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets. Multifamily had pre-tax income of $511 million, compared with $447 million in the fourth quarter of 2012. The increase in pre-tax income in the first quarter of 2013 compared with the fourth quarter of 2012 was due primarily to improvement in credit-related income. The Multifamily guaranty book of business was $205.4 billion as of March 31, 2013, compared with $206.2 billion as of December 31, 2012. Multifamily recorded credit-related income of $183 million in the first quarter of 2013, compared with credit-related expense of $54 million in the fourth quarter of 2012. Multifamily guaranty fee income was $291 million for the first quarter of 2013 and $280 million for the fourth quarter of 2012.
Capital Markets group had net income of $15.9 billion in the first quarter of 2013, compared with $4.3 billion in the fourth quarter of 2012. The increase in net income in the first quarter of 2013 compared with the fourth quarter of 2012 was due primarily to the release of the company’s valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets. Capital Markets had pre-tax income of $4.9 billion, compared with $4.3 billion in the fourth quarter of 2012. The increase in pre-tax income in the first quarter of 2013 compared with the fourth quarter of 2012 was due primarily to an increase in fair value gains. Capital Markets’ net interest income for the first quarter of 2013 was $2.7 billion, compared with $3.0 billion for the fourth quarter of 2012. Fair value gains for the first quarter of 2013 were $875 million, compared with $211 million in the fourth quarter of 2012. The Capital Markets retained mortgage portfolio balance decreased to $597.8 billion as of March 31, 2013, compared with $633.1 billion as of December 31, 2012, resulting from purchases of $81.7 billion, liquidations of $41.8 billion, and sales of $75.2 billion during the quarter.
