Fannie Mae Reports Net Income of $4.6 Billion and Comprehensive Income of $4.4 Billion for Second Quarter 2015
•
Fannie Mae reported net income of $4.6 billion and comprehensive income of $4.4 billion for the second quarter of 2015.
•
Fannie Mae expects to pay $4.4 billion in dividends to Treasury in September 2015. With the expected September dividend payment, the company will have paid a total of $142.5 billion in dividends to Treasury. Dividend payments do not reduce prior Treasury draws, which total $116.1 billion since 2008.
•
Fannie Mae provided approximately $144 billion in liquidity to the mortgage market in the second 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 second quarter of 2015 using a combination of Fannie Mae’s proprietary programs as well as government sponsored programs.
WASHINGTON, DC — Fannie Mae (FNMA/OTC) reported net income of $4.6 billion for the second quarter of 2015 and comprehensive income of $4.4 billion. The company reported a positive net worth of $6.2 billion as of June 30, 2015 resulting in a dividend obligation to Treasury of $4.4 billion, which the company expects to pay in September 2015.
Fannie Mae’s net income of $4.6 billion and comprehensive income of $4.4 billion for the second quarter of 2015 compares to net income of $1.9 billion and comprehensive income of $1.8 billion for the first quarter of 2015. Net income increased due primarily to fair value gains, partially offset by credit-related expense, in the second quarter of 2015.
The company’s financial results for the second quarter of 2015 were affected by an increase in interest rates. Although the increase in interest rates had a positive impact on the fair value of the company’s financial instruments, the increase in interest rates had a negative impact on its credit-related expense. The negative impact on credit-related expense was partially offset by an increase in home prices during the second quarter of 2015. Also contributing to credit-related expense was the redesignation of certain nonperforming single-family loans from “held for investment” to “held for sale” in the second quarter of 2015.
Fannie Mae recognized a provision for federal income taxes of $2.2 billion for the second quarter of 2015, reflecting an effective tax rate of 32 percent.
“We reported another strong quarter of financial performance with solid revenues and an impressive book of business that only continues to improve. We have reduced the risk of our business and have made great strides in transferring credit risk to private capital to better protect taxpayers,” said Timothy J. Mayopoulos, president and chief executive officer. “We are committed to serving our customers and the market with solutions that promote simplicity and certainty. We are creating revolutionary new tools, products, and solutions – and enhancing our existing foundational resources – to support our lenders. We continue to make changes throughout our company that improve the way we work and increase the value we provide to the housing finance system.”

(1)    Consists debt extinguishment gains, net and other expenses.
Net revenues, which consist of net interest income and fee and other income, were $6.2 billion for the second quarter of 2015, compared with $5.4 billion for the first quarter of 2015.
Net interest income, which includes guaranty fee revenue, was $5.7 billion for the second quarter of 2015 compared with $5.1 billion for the first quarter of 2015. Net interest income for the second 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 implemented in 2012 and the shrinking of the retained mortgage portfolio. The company estimates that a majority of its net interest income for the second 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.

Second Quarter 2015 Results

Net fair value gains were $2.6 billion in the second quarter of 2015, compared with losses of $1.9 billion in the first quarter of 2015. Fair value gains for the second quarter of 2015 were due primarily to increases in longer-term interest rates positively impacting the value of the company’s risk management derivatives. The estimated fair value of the company’s financial instruments 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 expense, which consists of a provision for credit losses and foreclosed property expense, was $1.2 billion in the second quarter of 2015, compared with credit-related income of $60 million in the first quarter of 2015. The shift to credit-related expense in the second quarter of 2015 from credit-related income in the first quarter of 2015 was due primarily to an increase in the company’s provision for credit losses due to increased mortgage interest rates during the second quarter of 2015. Due to the rise in mortgage interest rates, the company expects a decline in future prepayments on individually impaired loans, including modified loans. Lower expected prepayments lengthen the expected lives of modified loans, which increases the impairment related to concessions provided on these loans and results in an increase in the provision for credit losses. The negative impact from the increase in interest rates was partially offset by a positive impact from an increase in home prices during the second quarter of 2015. Also contributing to credit-related expense was the redesignation of certain nonperforming single-family loans from “held for investment” to “held for sale” in the second quarter of 2015. These loans were adjusted to the lower of cost or fair value, which negatively impacted the company’s provision for credit losses by approximately $500 million. The change in intent is aligned with the company’s plan to complete additional sales of nonperforming loans by building these sales into a programmatic offering.

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 or a shift to credit-related expense. 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 June 30, 2015 (the “Second Quarter 2015 Form 10-Q”).

larger part of the company’s Single-Family guaranty book of business due to the cumulative impact of guaranty fee price increases implemented in 2012. The Single-Family guaranty book of business was $2.83 trillion as of June 30, 2015, compared with $2.84 trillion as of March 31, 2015.
•
Single-Family credit-related expense was $1.2 billion in the second quarter of 2015, compared with $7 million in the first quarter of 2015. The increase in credit-related expense in the second quarter of 2015 from the first quarter of 2015 was due primarily to an increase in the company’s provision for credit losses due to increased mortgage interest rates during the second quarter of 2015. This was partially offset by a benefit for credit losses due to an increase in home prices during the second quarter of 2015. Also contributing to credit-related expense was the redesignation of certain nonperforming single-family loans from “held for investment” to “held for sale” in the second quarter of 2015. These loans were adjusted to the lower of cost or fair value, which negatively impacted the company’s provision for credit losses.
Multifamily Business
•
Multifamily net income was $366 million in the second quarter of 2015, compared with $483 million in the first quarter of 2015. Multifamily net income in the second quarter of 2015 was driven primarily by guaranty fee income. The decrease in Multifamily net income in the second quarter of 2015 compared with the first quarter of 2015 was due to lower gains on sales of partnership investments.
•
Multifamily guaranty fee income was $357 million for the second quarter of 2015, compared with $340 million for the first quarter of 2015. Multifamily guaranty fee income increased in the second quarter of 2015 compared with the first quarter of 2015 as loans with higher guaranty fees have become a larger part of the company’s Multifamily guaranty book of business, while loans with lower guaranty fees continue to liquidate.
•
The Multifamily guaranty book of business was $213.2 billion as of June 30, 2015, compared with $206.7 billion as of March 31, 2015.
Capital Markets
•
Capital Markets net income was $3.7 billion in the second quarter of 2015, compared with $599 million in the first quarter of 2015. Net income in the second quarter of 2015 was driven primarily by fair value gains, investment gains, and net interest income.
•
Capital Markets net fair value gains were $2.6 billion in the second quarter of 2015, compared with net fair value losses of $2.0 billion in the first quarter of 2015. Net fair value gains for the second quarter of 2015 were due primarily to fair value gains on risk management derivatives driven by increases in longer-term interest rates during the quarter.
•
Capital Markets net investment gains were $1.6 billion in the second quarter of 2015, compared with $1.5 billion in the first quarter of 2015. Net investment gains for the second quarter of 2015 were due primarily to the sale of mortgage-related securities during the quarter.
•
Capital Markets net interest income was $1.5 billion for the second quarter of 2015, compared with $1.6 billion for the first quarter of 2015. Net interest income was driven primarily by interest earned on the retained mortgage portfolio.
•
Capital Markets retained mortgage portfolio balance decreased to $390.3 billion as of June 30, 2015, compared with $411.7 billion as of March 31, 2015, resulting from purchases of $69.7 billion and sales and liquidations of $91.1 billion during the second quarter of 2015.

BUILDING A SUSTAINABLE HOUSING FINANCE SYSTEM
In addition to continuing to provide liquidity and support to the mortgage market, Fannie Mae continues to invest 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 June 30, 2015, Fannie Mae has requested cumulative draws totaling $116.1 billion and paid $138.2 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 third quarter of 2015 calculated based on the company’s net worth of $6.2 billion as of June 30, 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

Second Quarter 2015 Results
 
7

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. Fannie Mae actively monitors on an ongoing basis the credit risk profile and credit performance of the company’s single-family loan acquisitions, in conjunction with housing market and economic conditions, to determine if its pricing, eligibility, and underwriting criteria accurately reflects the risk associated with loans the company acquires or guarantees. Single-family conventional loans acquired by Fannie Mae in the first six months of 2015 had a weighted average borrower FICO credit score at origination of 749 and a weighted average original loan-to-value ratio of 74 percent.
Fannie Mae’s single-family conventional guaranty book of business as of June 30, 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 decreased for 21 consecutive quarters since the first quarter of 2010, and was 1.66 percent as of June 30, 2015, 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, 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 decreased, and is expected to continue to decrease, the company expects the number of single-family loans in its book of business that are seriously delinquent to remain above pre-2008 levels for years. 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 future 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 $32.1 billion as of June 30, 2015 from $32.9 billion as of March 31, 2015. Although the company’s loss reserves have declined substantially from their peak and are expected to decline further, the company expects its loss reserves will remain elevated relative to the levels experienced prior to the 2008 housing crisis for an extended period because (1) the company expects future defaults on loans that it acquired prior to 2009 and the resulting charge-offs will occur over a period of years and (2) a significant portion of the company’s reserves represents concessions granted to borrowers upon modification of their loans and its reserves will continue to reflect these concessions until the loans are fully repaid or default.

PROVIDING LIQUIDITY AND SUPPORT TO THE MARKET
Liquidity
Fannie Mae provided approximately $144 billion in liquidity to the mortgage market in the second quarter of 2015, through its purchases of loans and guarantees of loans and securities, which resulted in approximately:
•
229,000 home purchases
•
344,000 mortgage refinancings
•
181,000 units of multifamily housing
The company remained the largest single issuer of single-family mortgage-related securities in the secondary market in the second quarter of 2015, with an estimated market share of new single-family mortgage-related securities issuances of 37 percent, compared with 40 percent in the first quarter of 2015 and 39 percent in the second quarter of 2014.

Fannie Mae also remained a continuous source of liquidity in the multifamily market. As of March 31, 2015 (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 59,000 loans in the second quarter of 2015. Refinancings delivered to Fannie Mae through Refi Plus in the second quarter of 2015 reduced borrowers’ monthly mortgage payments by an average of $183. 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.
•
Fannie Mae provided approximately 34,000 loan workouts during the second quarter of 2015 enabling borrowers to avoid foreclosure.
•
Fannie Mae completed approximately 26,000 loan modifications during the second 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.
