Fannie Mae Reports Net Income of $1.9 billion and Comprehensive Income of $1.8 billion for First Quarter 2015
•
Fannie Mae reported net income of $1.9 billion and comprehensive income of $1.8 billion for the first quarter of 2015.
•
Fannie Mae expects to pay $1.8 billion in dividends to Treasury in June 2015. With the expected June dividend payment, the company will have paid a total of $138.2 billion in dividends to Treasury. Dividend payments do not reduce prior Treasury draws, which total $116.1 billion since 2008.
•
Fannie Mae provided approximately $124 billion in liquidity to the mortgage market in the first quarter of 2015, enabling families to buy, refinance, or rent homes.
•
Fannie Mae helped distressed families retain their homes or avoid foreclosure through approximately 34,000 workout solutions in the first quarter of 2015.
WASHINGTON, DC — Fannie Mae (FNMA/OTC) reported net income of $1.9 billion for the first quarter of 2015 and comprehensive income of $1.8 billion. The company reported a positive net worth of $3.6 billion as of March 31, 2015 resulting in a dividend obligation to Treasury of $1.8 billion, which the company expects to pay in June 2015.
Fannie Mae’s net income of $1.9 billion and comprehensive income of $1.8 billion for the first quarter of 2015 compares to net income of $1.3 billion and comprehensive income of $1.3 billion for the fourth quarter of 2014. Net income in the first quarter of 2015 increased compared with the fourth quarter of 2014 due primarily to lower fair value losses in the first quarter of 2015.
Fannie Mae recognized a provision for federal income taxes of $870 million for the first quarter of 2015, which resulted in an effective tax rate of 31.6 percent.
“This was another quarter of strong financial performance. We continued to have solid revenues. While we experienced some interest rate volatility again this quarter, we expect to remain profitable on an annual basis for the foreseeable future,” said Timothy J. Mayopoulos, president and chief executive officer. “We continued to make progress against our goals, and we are managing the company on a basis that produces good economic value for the taxpayer. We are focused on delivering value to our business partners and making it simpler and easier for lenders to serve the housing market safely, efficiently, and profitably.”

(1)    Consists of TCCA fees, debt extinguishment gains, net and other expenses.
Net revenues, which consist of net interest income and fee and other income, were $5.4 billion for the first quarter of 2015, compared with $5.5 billion for the fourth quarter of 2014.
Net interest income, which includes guaranty fee revenue, was $5.1 billion for both the first quarter of 2015 and the fourth quarter of 2014. Net interest income in the first quarter was driven by guaranty fee revenue, including amortization income from prepayments, and interest income earned on mortgage assets in the company’s retained mortgage portfolio.
An increasing portion of Fannie Mae’s net interest income in recent years has been derived from guaranty fees rather than from interest income earned on the company’s retained mortgage portfolio assets. This is a result of both the impact of guaranty fee increases and the shrinking of the retained mortgage portfolio. The company estimates that a majority of its net interest income in the first quarter of 2015 was derived from guaranty fees on loans underlying its Fannie Mae MBS. The company expects that guaranty fees will continue to account for an increasing portion of its net interest income.





First Quarter 2015 Results

Net fair value losses were $1.9 billion in the first quarter of 2015, compared with $2.5 billion in the fourth quarter of 2014. The decrease in fair value losses in the first quarter of 2015 compared with the fourth quarter of 2014 was due primarily to smaller declines in longer-term interest rates negatively impacting the value of the company’s risk management derivatives. The estimated fair value of the company’s derivatives and securities may fluctuate substantially from period to period because of changes in interest rates, the yield curve, mortgage spreads, implied volatility, and activity related to these financial instruments.
Credit-related income, which consists of a benefit for credit losses and foreclosed property expense or income, was $60 million in the first quarter of 2015, compared with $97 million in the fourth quarter of 2014. The decrease in credit-related income was driven primarily by an increase in foreclosed property expense in the first quarter of 2015, compared with the fourth quarter of 2014, and was partially offset by an increase in the company’s benefit for credit losses in the first quarter of 2015.

VARIABILITY OF FINANCIAL RESULTS
Fannie Mae expects to remain profitable on an annual basis for the foreseeable future; however, the company expects its earnings in 2015 and future years will be substantially lower than its earnings for 2014, due primarily to the company’s expectation of substantially lower income from resolution agreements, continued declines in net interest income from its retained mortgage portfolio assets, and lower credit-related income. In addition, certain factors, such as changes in interest rates or home prices, could result in significant volatility in the company’s financial results from quarter to quarter or year to year. Fannie Mae’s future financial results also will be affected by a number of other factors, including: the company’s guaranty fee rates; the volume of single-family mortgage originations in the future; the size, composition, and quality of its retained mortgage portfolio and guaranty book of business; and economic and housing market conditions. The company’s expectations for its future financial results do not take into account the impact on its business of potential future legislative or regulatory changes, which could have a material impact on the company’s financial results, particularly the enactment of housing finance reform legislation. For additional information on factors that affect the company’s financial results, please refer to “Executive Summary” in the company’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 (the “First Quarter 2015 Form 10-Q”).

BUILDING A SUSTAINABLE HOUSING FINANCE SYSTEM
In addition to continuing to provide liquidity and support to the mortgage market, Fannie Mae has invested significant resources toward helping to maintain a safer and sustainable housing finance system for today and build a safer and sustainable housing finance system for the future. The company is pursuing the strategic goals identified by its conservator, the Federal Housing Finance Agency (“FHFA”). These strategic goals are: maintain, in a safe and sound manner, credit availability and foreclosure prevention activities for new and refinanced mortgages to foster liquid, efficient, competitive, and resilient national housing finance markets; reduce taxpayer risk through increasing the role of private capital in the mortgage market; and build a new single-family securitization infrastructure for use by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and adaptable for use by other participants in the secondary market in the future.
ABOUT FANNIE MAE’S CONSERVATORSHIP
Fannie Mae has operated under the conservatorship of 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 its senior preferred stock purchase agreement with Treasury has provided the company with the capital and liquidity needed 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, 2015, Fannie Mae has requested cumulative draws totaling $116.1 billion and paid $136.4 billion in dividends to Treasury. Under the senior preferred stock purchase agreement, the payment of dividends does not offset prior draws. As a result, Treasury maintains a liquidation preference of $117.1 billion on the company’s senior preferred stock.
Treasury Draws and Dividend Payments
(1) 
Treasury draw requests are shown in the period for which requested and do not include the initial $1.0 billion liquidation preference of Fannie Mae’s senior preferred stock, for which Fannie Mae did not receive any cash proceeds. The payment of dividends does not offset prior Treasury draws.
(2) 
Fannie Mae expects to pay a dividend for the second quarter of 2015 calculated based on the company’s net worth of $3.6 billion as of March 31, 2015 less a capital reserve amount of $1.8 billion.
(3) 
Amounts may not sum due to rounding.
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 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 immediately preceding fiscal

First Quarter 2015 Results

quarter exceeds an applicable capital reserve amount. The capital reserve amount is $1.8 billion for each quarter of 2015 and will be reduced by $600 million each year 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. If the company were to draw additional funds from Treasury under the agreement in a future period, the amount of remaining funding under the agreement would be reduced by the amount of the company’s draw. Dividend payments Fannie Mae makes to Treasury do not restore or increase the amount of funding available to the company under the agreement.
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, 2014.
CREDIT QUALITY
While continuing to make it possible for families to buy, refinance, or rent homes, Fannie Mae has maintained responsible credit standards. 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. Single-family conventional loans acquired by Fannie Mae in the first three months of 2015 had a weighted average borrower FICO credit score at origination of 748 and a weighted average original loan-to-value ratio of 74 percent.
Fannie Mae’s single-family conventional guaranty book of business as of March 31, 2015 consisted of single-family loans acquired prior to 2009; non-Refi PlusTM loans acquired beginning in 2009; loans acquired through the Administration’s Home Affordable Refinance Program® (“HARP®”); and other loans acquired pursuant to the company’s Refi Plus initiative, excluding HARP loans. The company’s Refi Plus initiative, which started in April 2009 and includes HARP, provides expanded refinance opportunities for eligible Fannie Mae borrowers, and may involve the refinance of existing Fannie Mae loans with high loan-to-value ratios, including loans with loan-to-value ratios in excess of 100 percent.

The single-family serious delinquency rate for Fannie Mae’s book of business has declined for 20 consecutive quarters since the first quarter of 2010, and was 1.78 percent as of March 31, 2015, compared with 5.47 percent as of March 31, 2010. This decline is primarily the result of home retention solutions, foreclosure alternatives and completed foreclosures, improved loan payment performance, as well as the company’s acquisition of loans with stronger credit profiles since the beginning of 2009. Although Fannie Mae’s single-family serious delinquency rate has declined, the pace of declines has slowed in recent months and the company expects this trend to continue. The company’s single-family serious delinquency rate and the period of time that loans remain seriously delinquent continue to be negatively impacted by the length of time required to complete a foreclosure in some states. High levels of foreclosures, changes in state foreclosure laws, new federal and state servicing requirements imposed by regulatory actions and legal settlements, and the need for servicers to adapt to these changes have lengthened the time it takes to foreclose on a mortgage loan in a number of states, particularly in New York, Florida, and New Jersey. Other factors such as the pace of loan modifications, the timing and volume of any sales the company makes of non-performing loans, changes in home prices, unemployment levels, and other macroeconomic conditions also influence serious delinquency rates.
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, decreased to $32.9 billion as of March 31, 2015 from $38.2 billion as of December 31, 2014. The decrease in the company’s total loss reserves during the first quarter of 2015 was significantly impacted by the company’s approach to adopting the charge-off provisions of FHFA’s Advisory Bulletin AB 2012-12, as well as the company’s implementation of a change in accounting policy related to the treatment of interest previously accrued, but not collected, at the date that loans are placed on nonaccrual status.

PROVIDING LIQUIDITY AND SUPPORT TO THE MARKET
Liquidity
Fannie Mae provided approximately $124 billion in liquidity to the mortgage market in the first quarter of 2015, through its purchases of loans and guarantees of loans and securities, which resulted in approximately:
•
190,000 home purchases
•
320,000 mortgage refinancings
•
134,000 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 2015, with an estimated market share of new single-family mortgage-related securities issuances of 40 percent, unchanged from the fourth quarter of 2014 and down slightly from 41 percent in the first quarter of 2014.
Fannie Mae also remained a continuous source of liquidity in the multifamily market. As of December 31, 2014 (the latest date for which information is available), the company owned or guaranteed approximately 19 percent of the outstanding debt on multifamily properties.

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 54,000 loans in the first quarter of 2015. Refinancings delivered to Fannie Mae through Refi Plus in the first quarter of 2015 reduced borrowers’ monthly mortgage payments by an average of $177. The company expects the volume of refinancings under HARP to continue to decline, due to a decrease in the population of borrowers with loans that have high LTV ratios who are willing to refinance and would benefit from refinancing.
Home Retention Solutions and Foreclosure Alternatives
To reduce the credit losses Fannie Mae ultimately incurs on its 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 views foreclosure as a last resort. For homeowners and communities in need, the company offers alternatives to foreclosure. 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.

First Quarter 2015 Results

•
Fannie Mae provided approximately 34,000 loan workouts during the first quarter of 2015 enabling borrowers to avoid foreclosure.
•
Fannie Mae completed approximately 27,000 loan modifications during the first quarter of 2015.
FORECLOSURES AND REO
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.
