SUMMARY OF FANNIE MAE’S FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
Condensed Consolidated Results
(Dollars in billions)
Fannie Mae’s net income of $2.4 billion for the first quarter of 2019 compares with net income of $3.2 billion for the fourth quarter of 2018. The decrease in net income in the first quarter of 2019 was driven primarily by lower credit-related income, an increase in fair value losses, and lower net interest income during the quarter.

Net revenues, which consist of net interest income and fee and other income, were $5.0 billion for the first quarter of 2019, compared with $5.1 billion for the fourth quarter of 2018.
Net interest income was $4.7 billion for the first quarter of 2019, compared with $5.0 billion for the fourth quarter of 2018. The decrease in net interest income for the first quarter of 2019 was due primarily to lower amortization income from the company’s guaranty book of business driven by lower mortgage prepayment activity in the first quarter of 2019 due to a higher prevailing interest rate environment at the end of 2018. Additionally, the company saw a decrease in interest income from its portfolios due to lower average balances.
Fannie Mae’s net interest income is derived from two primary sources: guaranty fees the company receives for managing the credit risk on loans underlying Fannie Mae MBS held by third parties; and the difference between interest income earned on the assets in the company’s retained mortgage portfolio and its other investments portfolio (collectively, its portfolios) and the interest expense associated with the debt that funds those assets. More than 75 percent of Fannie Mae’s net interest income in the first quarter of 2019 was derived from the loans underlying Fannie Mae MBS in consolidated trusts, which primarily generate income through guaranty fees. Guaranty fees consist of two primary components: base guaranty fees that the company receives over the life of the loan; and amortization income, which consists of upfront fees that the company receives at the time of loan acquisition primarily related to single-family loan level pricing adjustments and other fees received from lenders; these fees are amortized into net interest income as cost basis adjustments over the contractual life of the loan.

Net Interest Income
(Dollars in billions)
__________
| |
(1) | Includes revenues generated by the 10 basis point guaranty fee increase the company implemented pursuant to the TCCA, the incremental revenue from which is remitted to Treasury and not retained by us. |
| |
(2) | Includes interest income from assets held in the company’s retained mortgage portfolio and other investments portfolio, as well as other assets used to generate lender liquidity. Also includes interest expense on the company’s outstanding Connecticut Avenue Securities®. |
Net fair value losses were $831 million in the first quarter of 2019, compared with $539 million in the fourth quarter of 2018. Net fair value losses in the first quarter of 2019 were driven primarily by net interest expense on the company’s risk management derivatives, as well as net decreases in the fair value of the company’s risk management and mortgage commitment derivatives due to decreases in interest rates during the quarter. In addition, we recognized fair value losses on long-term debt of consolidated trusts held at fair value during the quarter.
The estimated fair value of the company’s derivatives, trading securities, and other financial instruments carried at fair value may fluctuate substantially from period to period because of changes in interest rates, the yield curve, mortgage and credit spreads, implied volatility, and activity related to these financial instruments. While the estimated fair value of the company’s derivatives that serve to mitigate certain risk exposures may fluctuate, some of the financial instruments that generate these exposures are not recorded in the company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. The company is developing capabilities to implement hedge accounting to reduce interest rate volatility in its consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

Net Fair Value Gains (Losses)
(Dollars in billions)
Credit-related income (expense) consists of a benefit or provision for credit losses and foreclosed property expense. Credit-related income was $510 million in the first quarter of 2019, compared with $923 million in the fourth quarter of 2018. The decrease in credit-related income in the first quarter of 2019 was driven primarily by a lower volume of redesignations of loans from held-for-investment to held-for-sale and a smaller improvement in actual and forecasted home prices compared with the fourth quarter of 2018. This decrease was partially offset by a larger benefit from lower projected future interest rates compared with the fourth quarter of 2018.
Fannie Mae’s credit-related income or expense can vary substantially from period to period based on a number of factors such as changes in actual and expected home prices, fluctuations in interest rates, borrower payment behavior, the overall size of the company’s allowance, events such as natural disasters, the types and volume of its loss mitigation activities, the volume of foreclosures completed, and redesignations of loans from held-for-investment to held-for-sale. In addition, the company’s credit-related income or expense and its loss reserves can be impacted by updates to the models, assumptions, and data used in determining its allowance for loan losses.
While the redesignation of certain reperforming and nonperforming single-family loans from held-for-investment to held-for-sale has been a significant driver of credit-related income in recent periods, the company may see a reduced impact from this activity in the future to the extent the population of loans it is considering for redesignation declines. Further, Fannie Mae’s implementation of ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (the CECL standard) on January 1, 2020 will likely introduce additional volatility in the company’s results thereafter as credit-related income or expense will include expected lifetime losses on the company’s loans and other financial instruments subject to the standard and thus become more sensitive to fluctuations in the factors detailed above.

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE OUTLOOK
Fannie Mae’s long-term financial performance will depend in large part upon both the size of and its share of the U.S. mortgage market, which in turn will depend upon such factors as population growth, household formation, and home price appreciation. While Fannie Mae expects to remain profitable on an annual basis for the foreseeable future, certain factors could result in significant volatility in the company’s financial results from quarter to quarter or year to year. Fannie Mae expects quarterly volatility in its financial results due to a number of factors, particularly changes in market conditions that result in fluctuations in the estimated fair value of derivatives and other financial instruments that it marks to market through its earnings. Other factors that may result in volatility in the company’s quarterly financial results include factors that affect its loss reserves, such as redesignations of loans from held for investment to held for sale, changes in interest rates, home prices or accounting standards, or events such as natural disasters, and other factors, as the company discusses in “Risk Factors” and “MD&A—Consolidated Results of Operations—Credit-Related Income (Expense)” in its 2018 Form 10-K and in “MD&A—Consolidated Results of Operations—Credit-Related Income” in its First Quarter 2019 Form 10-Q. Further, Fannie Mae’s implementation on January 1, 2020 of the CECL standard will likely introduce additional volatility in the company’s results thereafter as credit-related income or expense will include expected lifetime losses on the company’s loans and other financial instruments subject to the standard and thus become more sensitive to fluctuations in these factors.
The potential for significant volatility in the company’s financial results could result in a net loss in a future quarter. Fannie Mae is permitted to retain up to $3.0 billion in capital reserves as a buffer in the event of a net loss in a future quarter. However, any net loss the company experiences in the future could be greater than the amount of its capital reserves, which would result in a net worth deficit for that quarter. For example, Fannie Mae’s implementation of the CECL standard will likely decrease, perhaps substantially, the company’s retained earnings and increase its allowance for credit losses, which could result in a net worth deficit when the company adopts the guidance in the first quarter of 2020. If the company experiences a net worth deficit in a future quarter, it will be required to draw funds from Treasury to avoid being placed into receivership. See “Risk Factors” in the company’s 2018 Form 10-K for a discussion of the risks associated with the limitations on the company’s ability to rebuild its capital reserves, including factors that could result in a net loss or net worth deficit in a future quarter.
PROVIDING LIQUIDITY AND SUPPORT TO THE MARKET
Fannie Mae provided $102 billion in liquidity to the mortgage market in the first quarter of 2019. Through its purchases and guarantees of mortgage loans in the first quarter of 2019, Fannie Mae acquired approximately 356,000 single-family mortgage loans. Fannie Mae also financed approximately 171,000 units of multifamily housing in the first quarter of 2019.

Financial Results
| |
• | Single-Family net income was $1.8 billion in the first quarter of 2019, compared with $2.7 billion in the fourth quarter of 2018. The decrease in net income in the first quarter of 2019 was driven primarily by: |
| |
◦ | a decrease in credit-related income due to a lower volume of redesignations of loans from held-for-investment to held-for-sale and a smaller improvement in actual and forecasted home prices compared with the fourth quarter of 2018, partially offset by a larger benefit from lower projected future interest rates compared with the fourth quarter of 2018, and |
| |
◦ | larger fair value losses resulting from tightening of CAS spreads and losses on debt of consolidated trusts held at fair value due to larger price increases compared with the fourth quarter of 2018. |
Business Highlights
| |
• | The single-family conventional guaranty book of business continued to grow in the first quarter of 2019, while the average charged guaranty fee, net of Temporary Payroll Tax Cut Continuation Act of 2011 (TCCA) fees, on the single-family conventional guaranty book in the first quarter increased slightly from the prior quarter to 43.3 basis points. |
| |
• | Fannie Mae’s Single-Family business provided $85.1 billion in liquidity to the mortgage market in the first quarter of 2019. Through its purchases and guarantees of mortgage loans in the first quarter of 2019, the company acquired approximately 356,000 mortgage loans, comprised of 229,000 home purchases and 127,000 refinancings. |

Financial Results
| |
• | Multifamily net income was $575 million in the first quarter of 2019, compared with $580 million in the fourth quarter of 2018. Net income for the first quarter of 2019 was driven by guaranty fee revenue as the multifamily guaranty book continued to grow. |
Business Highlights
| |
• | The multifamily guaranty book of business reached over $310 billion in the first quarter of 2019, while the average charged guaranty fee on the multifamily book decreased slightly from the prior quarter to 74.1 basis points as of March 31, 2019. |
| |
• | New multifamily business volume was $16.9 billion in the first quarter of 2019, a decrease from $21.4 billion in the fourth quarter of 2018 due primarily to seasonality. The Federal Housing Finance Agency’s (FHFA) 2019 conservatorship scorecard includes an objective to maintain the dollar volume of new multifamily business at or below $35 billion, excluding certain targeted affordable and underserved market business segments. Approximately 63%, or $10.7 billion, of the company’s multifamily business volume in the first quarter of 2019 counted toward FHFA’s 2019 multifamily volume cap. |
| |
• | Fannie Mae’s multifamily financing in the first quarter of 2019 supported 171,000 units of multifamily housing. More than 85% of the multifamily units the company financed in the first quarter of 2019 were affordable to families earning at or below 120% of the area median income, providing support for both affordable and workforce housing. |
| |
• | The multifamily serious delinquency rate was 0.07% as of March 31, 2019, an increase from 0.06% as of December 31, 2018. |

CREDIT RISK TRANSFER TRANSACTIONS
Fannie Mae continues to innovate and improve its credit risk transfer programs, expanding the types of loans covered and promoting the continued growth of the credit risk transfer market. For single-family mortgages, Fannie Mae has relied principally on two types of transactions to transfer credit risk: its Connecticut Avenue Securities® (CAS) transactions and its Credit Insurance Risk Transfer (CIRT) transactions. In these transactions, the company transfers to investors a portion of the credit risk associated with losses on a reference pool of mortgage loans and in exchange pays investors a premium that effectively reduces the guaranty fee income the company retains on the loans.
As a part of Fannie Mae’s continued effort to innovate and improve its credit risk transfer programs, the company completed its first CAS offering under the new REMIC structure in November 2018. This enhancement to the company’s CAS program is designed to promote the continued growth of the market by expanding the potential investor base for these securities and limiting investor exposure to Fannie Mae counterparty risk, without disrupting the to-be-announced (TBA) MBS market. The new structure also aligns the timing of the company’s recognition of provisions for credit losses with the related recovery from CAS REMIC transactions, which differs from the company’s previous CAS structures. For a description of the CAS REMIC structure, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Single-Family Business—Single-Family Credit Risk Transfer Transactions” in the company’s 2018 Form 10-K.
Fannie Mae continued to transfer a portion of the credit risk on multifamily mortgages, and nearly 100% of the company’s new multifamily business volume in the first quarter of 2019 had lender risk-sharing, primarily through the company’s Delegated Underwriting and Servicing (DUS®) program. To complement the company’s lender loss sharing program through DUS, Fannie Mae also transferred a portion of the mortgage credit risk on multifamily loans in its multifamily guaranty book of business to insurers and reinsurers through multifamily CIRT transactions. In the first quarter of 2019, the company completed its fifth multifamily CIRT transaction.
COMMON SECURITIZATION PLATFORM AND SINGLE SECURITY INITIATIVE
After five years of working on the Single Security Initiative with Freddie Mac, Common Securitization Solutions (CSS), and FHFA, Fannie Mae expects that in June 2019 the company and Freddie Mac will start issuing single-family uniform mortgage-backed securities (UMBS). At that time, Fannie Mae will also begin using the common securitization platform developed in conjunction with FHFA, Freddie Mac, and CSS to perform certain aspects of the securitization process. The objective of the Single Security Initiative is to enhance the overall liquidity of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac MBS eligible for forward trading in the TBA market by supporting their fungibility without regard to which company is the issuer. Forward trading of UMBS began in March 2019, and, as of April 25, 2019, $755 billion of UMBS had been traded in the TBA market for settlement beginning in June 2019.
The common securitization platform and the Single Security Initiative represent significant changes for the mortgage market and for Fannie Mae’s securitization operations and business. Fannie Mae expects that once it begins issuing UMBS, the vast majority of the company’s single-family MBS will be issued as UMBS. See “Business—Mortgage Securitizations—Common Securitization Platform and Single Security Initiative” in the company’s 2018 Form 10-K and “Risk Factors” in the company’s First Quarter 2019 Form 10-Q for more information on these efforts and the risks they present.
ABOUT FANNIE MAE’S CONSERVATORSHIP AND AGREEMENTS WITH TREASURY
Fannie Mae has operated under the conservatorship of FHFA since September 6, 2008. Treasury has made a commitment under a senior preferred stock purchase agreement to provide funding to Fannie Mae under certain circumstances if the company has a net worth deficit. Pursuant to this agreement and the senior preferred stock the company issued to Treasury in 2008, the conservator has declared and directed Fannie Mae to pay dividends to Treasury on a quarterly basis for every dividend period for which dividends were payable since the company entered conservatorship in 2008.

(Dollars in billions)
| |
(1) | Under the terms of the senior preferred stock purchase agreement, dividend payments the company makes to Treasury do not offset prior draws of funds from Treasury. Amounts may not sum due to rounding. |
| |
(2) | Treasury draws are shown in the period for which requested, not when the funds were received by the company. Draw requests have been funded in the quarter following a net worth deficit. |
Fannie Mae expects to pay Treasury a second quarter 2019 dividend of $2.4 billion by June 30, 2019. The senior preferred stock provides for dividends each quarter in the amount, if any, by which the company’s net worth as of the end of the prior quarter exceeds a $3.0 billion capital reserve amount.
As of the date of this filing, the maximum amount of remaining funding under the agreement is $113.9 billion. If the company were to draw additional funds from Treasury under the agreement with respect to a future period, the amount of remaining funding under the agreement would be reduced by the amount of its draw. Dividend payments the company makes to Treasury do not restore or increase the amount of funding available to it under the agreement.
For a description of the terms of the senior preferred stock purchase agreement and the senior preferred stock, see “Conservatorship, Treasury Agreements and Housing Finance Reform—Treasury Agreements” in the company’s 2018 Form 10-K.
Although Treasury owns Fannie Mae’s senior preferred stock and a warrant to purchase 79.9% percent of the company’s common stock, and has made a commitment under the senior preferred stock purchase agreement to provide the company with funds to maintain a positive net worth under specified conditions, the U.S. government does not guarantee the company’s securities or other obligations.
