Fannie Mae Reports Net Income of $5.0 Billion for First Quarter 2021

•	$5.0 billion net income for the first quarter of 2021 compared with $4.6 billion for the fourth quarter of 2020	“COVID-19 continues to present challenges and opportunities for homeowners and renters. We had another quarter of near-record mortgage volumes as many took advantage of low rates to refinance or purchase a home. In addition, more than two-thirds of the 1.3 million homeowners with Fannie Mae loans who entered forbearance have since exited, even as we continue to help others find solutions. I’m proud of our steady performance and continuing focus on helping homeowners and renters through uncertain times.” Hugh R. Frater, Chief Executive Officer
•	Implemented hedge accounting in the first quarter of 2021, which improved first quarter pretax income by approximately $1.2 billion
•	Net worth increased to $30.2 billion as of March 31, 2021
•	$422 billion in liquidity provided to the Single-Family and Multifamily mortgage markets in the first quarter of 2021
•	Acquired 340,000 home purchase loans and 1.1 million refinance loans during the quarter, which helped homeowners take advantage of low interest rates
•	217,000 units of rental housing financed, more than 90% affordable to families earning at or below 120% of area median income
•	More than 1.3 million single-family forbearance plans initiated to help borrowers since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic; as of March 31, 2021, approximately 920,000 of these loans have exited forbearance, including approximately 337,000 through reinstatement and approximately 275,000 through the company’s payment deferral option

Financial Highlights
•	Net income increased $423 million in the first quarter of 2021 compared with the fourth quarter of 2020 driven primarily by a shift to fair value gains in the first quarter of 2021 from fair value losses in the fourth quarter of 2020, partially offset by lower credit-related income and lower net interest income.
•	Fair value gains were $784 million in the first quarter of 2021, compared with fair value losses of $880 million in the fourth quarter of 2020. The $1.7 billion shift from fair value losses in the prior quarter to fair value gains in the first quarter of 2021 resulted largely from the company’s implementation of hedge accounting in January 2021.
•	Credit-related income decreased by $630 million in the first quarter of 2021 compared with the fourth quarter of 2020. Credit-related income in the first quarter of 2021 was driven by a benefit for credit losses due primarily to higher actual and forecasted home prices, partially offset by higher actual and projected interest rates.
•	Net interest income decreased $344 million in the first quarter of 2021 compared with the fourth quarter of 2020 driven primarily by a decrease in net amortization income due to lower levels of single-family mortgage loan prepayment activity in the first quarter of 2021. The company expects that lower levels of refinancing in the future will likely result in fewer loan prepayments leading to lower amortization income in any one period as loans remain outstanding for longer.

Key Business Highlights
•	Single-family conventional acquisition volume was $400 billion in the first quarter of 2021, a decrease of 6% compared with the record volume in the fourth quarter of 2020. The $26 billion decrease was driven by a decrease in purchase volume largely due to seasonality, as typically fewer borrowers purchase homes in the first quarter of the year than in the fourth quarter. Refinance acquisition volume in the first quarter remained flat compared with the fourth quarter, while remaining at near-record levels. 9% of the company’s single-family conventional guaranty book of business as of March 31, 2021 was originated in 2021.
•	Average single-family conventional guaranty book of business during the first quarter of 2021 increased from the fourth quarter of 2020 by 2.4%. Credit characteristics of the single-family conventional guaranty book of business remained strong, with a weighted-average mark-to-market loan-to-value ratio of 57% and weighted-average FICO credit score of 751.
•	Average charged guaranty fee, net of TCCA fees, on the single-family conventional guaranty book increased from 44.5 basis points for the three months ended December 31, 2020 to 44.9 basis points for the three months ended March 31, 2021. Average charged guaranty fee on newly acquired single-family conventional loans, net of TCCA fees, increased 2.2 basis points to 48.0 basis points for the three months ended March 31, 2021 from 45.8 basis points for the three months ended December 31, 2020, driven by the implementation of the adverse market refinance fee in December 2020.
•	As of March 31, 2021, 2.5% of the single-family guaranty book of business based on loan count, or 429,592 loans, was in forbearance, the vast majority of which was related to the COVID-19 pandemic, compared with 3.0% as of December 31, 2020. As of March 31, 2021, 10% of the loans in forbearance were still current.
•	Single-family serious delinquency rate decreased to 2.58% as of March 31, 2021, from 2.87% as of December 31, 2020, due to the on-going economic recovery and the decline in the number of the company’s single-family loans in a COVID-19 forbearance plan. Single-family serious delinquency rate excluding loans in forbearance was 0.66% as of both March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. Single-family seriously delinquent loans are loans that are 90 days or more past due or in the foreclosure process.

Average charged guaranty fee rate on multifamily guaranty book of business, at end of period	75.9 bps		74.5 bps		1.4 bps		2	%	71.9 bps		4.0 bps		6	%

Key Business Highlights
•	New multifamily business volume was $22 billion during the first quarter of 2021. The Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) established a 2021 multifamily volume cap of $70 billion, of which 50% must be mission-driven, focused on certain affordable and underserved market segments, and 20% must be affordable to residents earning 60% of area median income or below.
•	The multifamily guaranty book of business increased by $15 billion in the first quarter of 2021 to $399 billion. The average charged guaranty fee on the multifamily book increased from 74.5 basis points for the fourth quarter of 2020 to 75.9 basis points for the first quarter of 2021 as a result of increased pricing. This resulted in an increase in guaranty fee revenue, which was more than offset by a decrease in other net interest income.
•	As of March 31, 2021, based on unpaid principal balance, 1.3% of Fannie Mae’s multifamily guaranty book of business had received a forbearance plan (excluding loans that liquidated prior to period end), primarily as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. More than three-fourths of those loans, measured by unpaid principal balance, were in a repayment plan or reinstated and only 0.2% of the book, or $917 million in unpaid principal balance, was still in active forbearance as of March 31, 2021.
•	The multifamily serious delinquency rate decreased to 0.66% as of March 31, 2021 from 0.98% as of December 31, 2020, driven primarily by loans that received forbearance that are now in a forbearance repayment plan or have been modified or otherwise reinstated. This rate increased from 0.05% as of March 31, 2020 due to the economic dislocation caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, which increased borrower participation in forbearance plans since the start of the pandemic. The multifamily serious delinquency rate excluding loans that have received a forbearance was 0.03% as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. Multifamily seriously delinquent loans are loans that are 60 days or more past due.

Net Worth and Capital Requirement

The chart below shows information about Fannie Mae’s net worth and estimated capital requirement under FHFA’s enterprise regulatory capital framework. The company’s comprehensive income of $5.0 billion for the first quarter of 2021 resulted in a $5.0 billion increase in its net worth to $30.2 billion as of March 31, 2021.

Fannie Mae estimates that, had the new enterprise regulatory capital framework’s requirements been applicable to the company as of March 31, 2021, it would have been required to hold approximately $190 billion in adjusted total capital, of which approximately $140 billion must be in the form of common equity tier 1 capital. Prescribed buffers drive approximately $75 billion of the total requirements. Fannie Mae’s estimated capital requirement grew by approximately $5 billion in the first quarter of 2021 compared with the prior quarter, driven by growth in the company’s guaranty book of business and a reduction in the benefits received from credit risk transfer transactions.

	Net Worth*	Remaining Treasury funding commitment is $113.9 billion
	Estimated Common Equity Tier 1 Capital Requirement
	Estimated Other Tier 1 and Tier 2 Capital Requirement
*	Net worth is not a measure of regulatory capital under FHFA’s enterprise regulatory capital framework
