Fannie Mae Reports Net Income of $2.9 Billion and Comprehensive Income of $2.9 Billion for Second Quarter 2016
•
Fannie Mae expects to pay $2.9 billion in dividends to Treasury in September 2016. With the expected September dividend payment, the company will have paid a total of $151.4 billion in dividends to Treasury.
•
Fannie Mae was the largest provider of liquidity to the mortgage market in the second quarter of 2016, providing approximately $145 billion in mortgage financing that enabled families to buy, refinance, or rent homes.
•
Fannie Mae is focused on serving its customers’ needs, implementing innovative tools that deliver greater value and certainty to lenders, and helping make predictable long-term fixed-rate mortgages, including the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage, a reality for families across the country.
•
Fannie Mae continued to lay off risk to private capital in the mortgage market and reduce taxpayer risk through its Connecticut Avenue SecuritiesTM (CAS), Credit Insurance Risk TransferTM (CIRTTM), and other types of risk-sharing transactions. Through the second quarter of 2016, Fannie Mae had transferred a significant portion of the mortgage credit risk on over $660 billion in unpaid principal balance of mortgage loans pursuant to these transactions.
WASHINGTON, DC — Fannie Mae (FNMA/OTC) reported net income of $2.9 billion and comprehensive income of $2.9 billion for the second quarter of 2016. The company reported a positive net worth of $4.1 billion as of June 30, 2016. As a result, the company expects to pay Treasury a $2.9 billion dividend in September 2016.
“We had another quarter of solid financial performance,” said Timothy J. Mayopoulos, president and chief executive officer. “We are carrying through on actions to strengthen our company, support the housing market, and bring innovation to the market for the benefit of consumers, lenders, and taxpayers. We remain a steady, continuous source of mortgage financing to ensure broad access to quality rental housing and predictable long-term mortgages, including the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage.”
Second Quarter 2016 Results — Fannie Mae’s net income of $2.9 billion and comprehensive income of $2.9 billion for the second quarter of 2016 compares to net income of $1.1 billion and comprehensive income of $936 million for the first quarter of 2016. The increase in net income was due primarily to:
•
Lower fair value losses in the second quarter of 2016 driven by smaller decreases in longer-term interest rates during the quarter.
•
Higher credit-related income in the second quarter of 2016 attributable primarily to an increase in home prices and a decrease in actual and projected mortgage interest rates, as well as a decrease in foreclosed property expense.
•
Higher net revenues driven primarily by an increase in mortgage prepayments.

Net revenues, which consist of net interest income and fee and other income, were $5.5 billion for the second quarter of 2016, compared with $5.0 billion for the first quarter of 2016.
Net interest income, which includes guaranty fee revenue, was $5.3 billion for the second quarter of 2016 compared with $4.8 billion for the first quarter of 2016. Net interest income for the second quarter of 2016 was driven by guaranty fee revenue and interest income earned on mortgage assets in the company’s retained mortgage portfolio.
In recent years, an increasing portion of Fannie Mae’s net interest income has been derived from guaranty fees rather than from the company’s retained mortgage portfolio assets. This is a result of both the impact of guaranty fee increases implemented in 2012 and the reduction of the company’s retained mortgage portfolio. Approximately two-thirds of the company’s net interest income in the second quarter of 2016 was derived from its guaranty business. The company expects that guaranty fees will continue to account for an increasing portion of its net interest income.

Net fair value losses were $1.7 billion in the second quarter of 2016, compared with $2.8 billion in the first quarter of 2016. Fair value losses for the second quarter of 2016 were due primarily to decreases in longer-term interest rates negatively 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 and credit 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, was $1.5 billion in the second quarter of 2016, compared with $850 million in the first quarter of 2016. Credit-related income in the second quarter of 2016 was due primarily to a benefit for credit losses for the quarter attributable primarily to an increase in home prices and a decrease in actual and projected mortgage interest rates.

VARIABILITY OF FINANCIAL RESULTS
Fannie Mae expects to remain profitable on an annual basis for the foreseeable future; however, certain factors, such as changes in interest rates or home prices, could result in significant volatility in our 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. Although Fannie Mae expects to remain profitable on an annual basis for the foreseeable future, due to the company’s expectation of continued declining capital and the potential for significant volatility in its financial results, the company could experience a net worth deficit in a future quarter, particularly as the company’s capital reserve amount approaches or reaches zero. 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, 2016 (Second Quarter 2016 Form 10-Q).
SUMMARY OF SECOND QUARTER 2016 BUSINESS SEGMENT RESULTS
The business groups running Fannie Mae’s three reporting segments consist of its Single-Family business, its Multifamily business, and its Capital Markets group. These business groups engage in complementary business activities in pursuing Fannie Mae’s vision to be America’s most valued housing partner and to provide liquidity, access to credit and affordability in all U.S. housing markets at all times, while effectively managing and reducing risk to Fannie Mae’s business, taxpayers, and the housing finance system. In support of this vision, Fannie Mae is focused on: advancing a sustainable and reliable business model that reduces risk to the housing finance system and taxpayers; providing reliable, large-scale access to affordable mortgage credit for qualified borrowers and helping struggling homeowners; and serving customer needs and improving the company’s business efficiency.

Single-Family Business
•
Single-Family net income was $2.7 billion in the second quarter of 2016, compared with $2.4 billion in the first quarter of 2016. Net income in the second quarter of 2016 was driven primarily by guaranty fee income and credit-related income.
•
Single-Family guaranty fee income was $3.3 billion for the second quarter of 2016, compared with $3.2 billion in the first quarter of 2016. The increase in guaranty fee income in the second quarter of 2016 was driven primarily by loans with higher guaranty fees becoming a larger part of the company’s Single-Family guaranty book of business due primarily to the cumulative impact of guaranty fee price increases implemented in 2012.
•
Single-Family credit-related income was $1.5 billion in the second quarter of 2016, compared with $828 million in the first quarter of 2016. Credit-related income in the second quarter of 2016 was due primarily to a benefit for credit losses for the quarter attributable primarily to an increase in home prices and a decrease in actual and projected mortgage interest rates.
•
The Single-Family guaranty book of business was $2.82 trillion as of both June 30, 2016 and March 31, 2016.

Multifamily Business
•
Multifamily net income was $339 million in the second quarter of 2016, compared with $333 million in the first quarter of 2016. Net income in the second quarter of 2016 was driven primarily by guaranty fee income.
•
Multifamily guaranty fee income was $400 million for the second quarter of 2016, compared with $385 million for the first quarter of 2016. The increase in guaranty fee income in the second quarter of 2016 was driven primarily by loans with higher guaranty fees becoming a larger part of the company’s Multifamily guaranty book of business, while loans with lower guaranty fees continue to liquidate.
•
Multifamily new business volume totaled $22.8 billion for the first half of 2016, of which approximately 67 percent counted toward the Federal Housing Finance Agency’s (FHFA) 2016 multifamily production volume cap. 
•
The Multifamily guaranty book of business was $225.2 billion as of June 30, 2016, compared with $220.7 billion as of March 31, 2016.
Capital Markets
•
Capital Markets had net income of $886 million in the second quarter of 2016, compared with a net loss of $464 million in the first quarter of 2016. Capital Markets’ net income in the second quarter of 2016 was driven primarily by net investment gains and net interest income, partially offset by fair value losses.
•
Capital Markets net investment gains were $2.1 billion in the second quarter of 2016, compared with $1.4 billion in the first quarter of 2016. Net investment gains for the second quarter of 2016 were due primarily to gains on sales of available-for-sale securities in the second quarter of 2016.
•
Capital Markets net interest income was $1.1 billion in both the second quarter of 2016 and the first quarter of 2016. Net interest income was driven primarily by interest income earned on mortgage assets in the company’s retained mortgage portfolio.
•
Capital Markets net fair value losses were $1.7 billion in the second quarter of 2016, compared with $2.8 billion in the first quarter of 2016. Net fair value losses for the second quarter of 2016 were due primarily to fair value losses on risk management derivatives driven by decreases in longer-term interest rates during the quarter.
•
Capital Markets retained mortgage portfolio balance decreased to $316.3 billion as of June 30, 2016, compared with $332.6 billion as of March 31, 2016, resulting from purchases of $75.4 billion and sales and liquidations of $91.8 billion during the second quarter of 2016.
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, 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 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, 2016, Fannie Mae has requested cumulative draws totaling $116.1 billion and paid $148.5 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 2016 calculated based on the company’s net worth of $4.1 billion as of June 30, 2016 less a capital reserve amount of $1.2 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 quarter exceeds an applicable capital reserve amount. The capital reserve amount is $1.2 billion for each quarter of 2016 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, 2015 (2015 Form 10-K).

CREDIT RISK TRANSFER TRANSACTIONS
In late 2013, Fannie Mae began entering into credit risk transfer transactions with the goal of transferring, to the extent economically sensible, a portion of the mortgage credit risk on some of the recently acquired loans in its single-family book of business in order to reduce the economic risk to the company and to taxpayers of future borrower defaults. Fannie Mae’s primary method of achieving this goal has been through the issuance of its Connecticut Avenue SecuritiesTM (CAS) and its Credit Insurance Risk TransferTM (CIRTTM) transactions.
These transactions transfer a portion of the mortgage credit risk associated with losses on specified reference pools of single-family mortgage loans to investors in CAS or to panels of reinsurers or insurers in CIRT transactions. Approximately 19 percent of the loans in the company’s single-family conventional guaranty book of business as of June 30, 2016, measured by unpaid principal balance, were included in a reference pool for a CAS or CIRT transaction. The company also has executed other types of risk-sharing transactions in addition to its CAS and CIRT transactions. In the aggregate, Fannie Mae’s credit risk transfer transactions completed through June 30, 2016 transferred a significant portion of the mortgage credit risk on single-family mortgages with an unpaid principal balance of over $660 billion. The mezzanine risk positions we sell in a CAS transaction and the insurance layer we obtain in a CIRT transaction typically exceed our estimated stress losses for the associated reference pool of loans.
The loans Fannie Mae has included in its single-family credit risk transfer transactions have been limited to specified categories of loans it has acquired in recent years. Loan categories the company has targeted for credit risk transfer transactions generally consist of fixed-rate 30-year single-family conventional loans that meet certain credit performance characteristics, are non-Refi PlusTM and have loan-to-value (LTV) ratios between 60 percent and 97 percent. These targeted loan categories constituted over half of the company’s loan acquisitions for the twelve months ended June 2015, and over 95 percent of the loans in these categories that the company acquired in the twelve months ended June 2015 were included in a subsequent credit risk transfer transaction. Loans are included in reference pools for credit risk transfer transactions on a lagged basis; typically, about one year after the company initially acquired the loans. The portion of Fannie Mae’s single-family loan acquisitions it includes in credit risk transfer transactions can vary from period to period based on market conditions and other factors.
These transactions increase the role of private capital in the mortgage market and reduce the risk to Fannie Mae’s business, taxpayers, and the housing finance system. The company intends to continue to engage in credit risk transfer transactions on an ongoing basis, subject to market conditions. Over time, the company expects that a larger portion of its single-family conventional guaranty book of business will be covered by credit risk transfer transactions.
CREDIT QUALITY
While continuing to make it possible for families to buy, refinance, or rent homes, Fannie Mae has maintained responsible credit standards. Fannie Mae has seen the effect of the actions it took, beginning in 2008, to significantly strengthen its underwriting and eligibility standards to promote sustainable homeownership and stability in the housing market. Fannie Mae actively monitors 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 second quarter of 2016 had a weighted average borrower FICO credit score at origination of 749 and a weighted average original LTV ratio of 75 percent.

Fannie Mae’s single-family conventional guaranty book of business as of June 30, 2016 consisted of single-family loans acquired prior to 2009; non-Refi Plus 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 LTV ratios, including loans with LTV ratios in excess of 100 percent.
The single-family serious delinquency rate for Fannie Mae’s book of business has decreased for 25 consecutive quarters since the first quarter of 2010 and was 1.32 percent as of June 30, 2016, 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, and the company’s acquisition of loans with stronger credit profiles since the beginning of 2009. In recent periods, nonperforming loan sales have also contributed to the decrease in the company’s serious delinquency rate. 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. Longer foreclosure timelines result in these loans remaining in the company’s book of business for a longer time, which has caused the company’s serious delinquency rate to decrease more slowly in the last few years than it would have if the pace of foreclosures had been faster. The slow pace of foreclosures in certain areas of the country has negatively affected the company’s single-family serious delinquency rates, foreclosure timelines, and financial results, and may continue to do so. Other factors such as the pace of loan modifications, the timing and volume of future nonperforming loan sales the company makes, servicer performance, 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 $24.2 billion as of June 30, 2016 from $26.5 billion as of March 31, 2016. The decrease in the company’s total loss reserves for the second quarter of 2016 was primarily driven by an increase in home prices, mortgage loan liquidations, and a decrease in actual and projected mortgage interest rates. The company’s loss reserves have declined substantially from their peak and are expected to decline further.

PROVIDING LIQUIDITY AND SUPPORT TO THE MARKET
Liquidity
Fannie Mae provided approximately $145 billion in liquidity to the mortgage market in the second quarter of 2016, through its purchases of loans and guarantees of loans and securities, which resulted in approximately:
•
274,000 home purchases
•
311,000 mortgage refinancings
•
141,000 units of multifamily housing
The company was one of the largest issuers of single-family mortgage-related securities in the secondary market in the second quarter of 2016, with an estimated market share of new single-family mortgage-related securities issuances of 38 percent, compared with 37 percent in the first quarter of 2016 and 37 percent in the second quarter of 2015.
Fannie Mae also remained a continuous source of liquidity in the multifamily market in the second quarter of 2016. As of March 31, 2016 (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 37,000 loans in the second quarter of 2016. Refinancings delivered to Fannie Mae through Refi Plus in the second quarter of 2016 reduced borrowers’ monthly mortgage payments by an average of $204. The company expects the volume of refinancings under HARP to continue to decline between now and the program’s expiration on December 31, 2016, 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.
