FREDDIE MAC REPORTS NET INCOME OF $4.2 BILLION,

COMPREHENSIVE INCOME OF $3.9 BILLION FOR SECOND QUARTER 2015

Strong Business Momentum Continues; Will Return Additional $3.9 Billon to Taxpayers

 

Second Quarter 2015 Earnings Were Solid; Volatility Continued As Timing-Related Items Had a Positive Effect on Results

    Net interest income, which continued to drive the company’s financial results, was $4.0 billion in the second quarter. Management and guarantee fees accounted for more than 40 percent of net interest income, consistent with the trend seen in recent quarters.  
    Continued interest-rate volatility drove derivative gains of $3.1 billion, including $3.7 billion of timing-related positive fair value changes, reversing some of the losses from prior quarters as interest rates increased during the second quarter.  
    The company also benefited from narrowing spreads on its marked-to-market mortgage assets during the second quarter.

Business Fundamentals Were Strong and Continued to Improve in Second Quarter 2015

Increased Business Volumes

    Single-family purchase volume increased approximately $20 billion from the first quarter to $101.2 billion.  
    Multifamily purchase volume grew to $13.1 billion, an increase of more than 30 percent from the first quarter.  

Transferred Credit Risk

    Transferred a portion of single-family credit risk on $94.2 billion in UPB to the private market in the second quarter through STACR® debt notes and ACIS® reinsurance transactions. Since 2013, Freddie Mac has transferred a portion of the credit risk on nearly $344 billion in UPB of single-family mortgages.  
    Securitized $108 billion in UPB of multifamily mortgage loans since the beginning of 2009, including $10.0 billion in the second quarter, continuing the company’s focus on transferring credit risk to private investors through K-deal offerings. 92 percent of the multifamily mortgage loans purchased in the second quarter are intended to be securitized into K-deals.  

Reduced Legacy Risk

    Sold $4.3 billion of less liquid assets (including approximately $900 million in UPB of seriously delinquent single-family loans) from the mortgage-related investments portfolio in the second quarter.  
    Post-2008 book of business grew to 63 percent of single-family credit guarantee portfolio at June 30, 2015; HARP and other relief refinance loans represented an additional 19 percent.  

The Company Supported Its Mission, Helping 15.2 Million Families to Buy, Rent or Keep Their Homes Since 2009

    The company provided $2.7 trillion in liquidity to the mortgage market, funding 11.7 million single-family homes and 2.3 million multifamily rental units.  
    The company helped over 1.1 million borrowers avoid foreclosure.  

The Company Will Have Returned $96.5 Billion to Taxpayers, Including September 2015 Dividend Obligation of $3.9 Billion

    Dividend payments do not reduce prior Treasury draws, which totaled $71.3 billion as of June 30, 2015.

Second quarter 2015 net income and comprehensive income increased from the first quarter of 2015 by $3.6 billion and $3.2 billion, respectively.

 

    Second quarter results were positively affected by strong net interest income and two market-related items.

 

  ¡ The company estimated that second quarter comprehensive income benefited by approximately $1.5 billion as interest rates increased and the yield curve steepened during the quarter.
  ¡ In addition, the company estimated that second quarter comprehensive income benefited by approximately $700 million due to the impact of improved spreads on its marked-to-market mortgage assets.

    Additionally, Freddie Mac continues to execute sales of seriously delinquent single-family loans and reclassified $3.6 billion and $4.5 billion in unpaid principal balance (UPB) of such loans from held-for-investment to held-for-sale in the first and second quarters of 2015, respectively, which resulted in a benefit for credit losses, offset by decreases in other non-interest income and increases in non-interest expense in both periods.

Selected Financial Highlights

 

LOGO

Net interest income was $4.0 billion for the second quarter of 2015, an increase of $322 million from the first quarter of 2015. Net interest yield was 82 basis points for the second quarter of 2015, an increase of 7 basis points from the first quarter of 2015.

 

    The increases in both net interest income and net interest yield primarily reflect higher amortization income due to increased prepayments.
    The management and guarantee fee portion of Freddie Mac’s net interest income continues to increase as the size of the company’s mortgage-related investments portfolio continues to decline. More than 40 percent of net interest income in the second quarter was derived from management and guarantee fees.

 

LOGO

Benefit for credit losses was $857 million for the second quarter of 2015, an increase of $358 million from the first quarter of 2015.

 

    The increase was mostly driven by a larger benefit from the reclassification of certain seriously delinquent single-family mortgage loans from held-for-investment to held-for-sale. Freddie Mac reclassified $4.5 billion in UPB of such loans in the second quarter, compared to $3.6 billion in the first quarter.
    Also contributing to the increase was an improvement in provision for credit losses driven by the company’s expectations of the performance of future modifications.

Page 4

 

    Freddie Mac’s single-family serious delinquency rate has continued to decline since 2010, primarily due to lower volumes of newly delinquent loans and continued loss mitigation activities (including sales of certain seriously delinquent mortgage loans), foreclosure alternatives and foreclosure activities for loans in the legacy single-family book.

 

LOGO

Derivative gains were $3.1 billion for the second quarter of 2015, a shift from derivative losses of $2.4 billion for the first quarter of 2015.

 

    The gains in the second quarter were driven by an increase in interest rates, and reversed some of the losses from prior quarters that resulted from declining interest rates.
    Derivative gains (losses) include both fair value changes and derivative interest carry (i.e., accrual of periodic settlements).
  ¡ Fair value changes were a gain of $3.7 billion in the second quarter of 2015, a shift from a loss of $1.8 billion in the first quarter of 2015.
  ¡ Derivative interest carry was an expense of $0.5 billion in the second quarter of 2015. Derivative interest carry represents the net amount the company accrues during a period for interest-rate swap payments it will make or receive, and is economically equivalent to interest expense.

 

LOGO

Other non-interest income (loss) was a loss of $594 million for the second quarter of 2015, compared to income of $256 million for the first quarter of 2015.

 

    The shift to a loss was mostly due to higher fair value losses on mortgage loans driven by an increase in interest rates, as well as a higher volume of seriously delinquent single-family loans that were reclassified from held-for-investment to held-for-sale during the second quarter. These losses were partially offset by a shift to fair value gains on Structured Agency Credit Risk (STACR) debt notes from fair value losses in the first quarter of 2015.

LOGO

Administrative expense was $501 million (10.4 basis points) for the second quarter of 2015, an increase of $50 million from the first quarter of 2015.

 

    The increase was mostly driven by a one-time expense associated with the company’s terminated pension plans.

Variability of Earnings

Freddie Mac’s financial results are subject to significant earnings variability from period to period. This variability is primarily driven by:

 

    Economic vs. Accounting Interest-Rate Risk – Freddie Mac holds assets and liabilities that expose it to interest-rate risk. Through its use of derivatives, the company manages its exposure to interest-rate risk on an economic basis to a low level. At times, the accounting measurement approach (i.e., amortized cost vs. fair value) Freddie Mac applies to its financial assets and liabilities, including derivatives, creates volatility in the company’s earnings when the company experiences interest rate or implied volatility fluctuations that is not indicative of the underlying economics of its business.
    Spread Volatility – Spread volatility is the risk associated with changes in interest rates in excess of the changes in the risk-free rates (i.e., credit spreads, liquidity spreads, risk premiums, etc.). Freddie Mac holds assets and liabilities that expose it to spread volatility. However, the company has limited ability to manage spread volatility. Changes in spreads may contribute to significant earnings volatility period to period.
    Non-Recurring Events – From time to time, Freddie Mac will likely experience, and has experienced, significant earnings volatility from non-recurring events related to the financial crisis, including settlements with counterparties and changes in certain valuation allowances (i.e., allowance for loan losses and deferred tax asset).

Segment Financial Results and Business Highlights

Freddie Mac’s operations consist of three reportable segments, which are based on the types of business activities they perform — Single-family Guarantee, Investments and Multifamily. Certain activities that are not part of a reportable segment are included in the All Other category.

Single-family Guarantee Segment

Providing liquidity to the U.S. housing market while continuing to transfer credit risk to the private market

 

    Single-family Guarantee segment earnings were $489 million for the second quarter of 2015, an increase of $429 million from the first quarter of 2015. The increase was primarily driven by:
  ¡ A shift to fair value gains on STACR debt notes in the second quarter of 2015 from fair value losses in the first quarter of 2015 due to widening credit spreads.
  ¡ Higher net interest income and management and guarantee fee income, driven by increased amortization income resulting from higher prepayments.
  ¡ Improvement in provision for credit losses driven by the company’s expectations of the performance of future modifications.
    New book of business continued to grow and was 63 percent of single-family credit guarantee portfolio at June 30, 2015.
  ¡ HARP and other relief refinance loans were an additional 19 percent.
  ¡ 2005-2008 legacy book was 12 percent.
    Purchase volume was $101.2 billion in the second quarter of 2015, up from $80.2 billion in the first quarter of 2015.
  ¡ Refinancings, including HARP, were $61.7 billion in the second quarter of 2015, up from $51.7 billion in the first quarter of 2015, due to lower average long-term mortgage interest rates.
    Average management and guarantee fees charged on new acquisitions were 45.1 basis points (net of legislated 10 basis point guarantee fee remitted to Treasury as part of the Temporary Payroll Tax Cut Continuation Act of 2011) in the second quarter of 2015, compared to 46.7 basis points in the first quarter of 2015.

Page 7

 

    Single-family serious delinquency rate was 1.53 percent at June 30, 2015, down from 1.73 percent at March 31, 2015. The single-family serious delinquency rate at June 30, 2015, the lowest since November 2008, was substantially below the rate for the entire U.S. mortgage market of 4.24 percent as of March 31, 2015 (as per the Mortgage Bankers Association’s National Delinquency Survey), which is the most current data available.
    Completed sales of nearly $900 million in UPB of seriously delinquent unsecuritized single-family loans during the second quarter of 2015. The company subsequently announced three additional sales of such loans totaling approximately $900 million in UPB, which will settle in the second half of 2015.
    Transferred a portion of credit losses on $94.2 billion in UPB of single-family mortgages to the private market in the second quarter of 2015 through three STACR debt note transactions (including the first two actual loss offerings) and two initial first loss and actual loss Agency Credit Insurance Structure (ACIS) reinsurance transactions.
  ¡ Since introducing the company’s innovative single-family credit risk transfer offerings in 2013, the company has transferred a portion of credit losses on nearly $344 billion in UPB of single-family mortgages.
  ¡ In July, the company announced the offering of a whole loan security, which is a new type of credit risk transfer transaction for the company using a subordinated security structure.

Investments Segment

Reducing less liquid assets using an economically sensible approach

 

    Investments segment comprehensive income was $3.0 billion for the second quarter of 2015, an increase of $2.6 billion from the first quarter of 2015. The increase was primarily driven by derivative gains, as interest rates increased in the second quarter of 2015.
    Less liquid assets held by the Investments segment were $124.3 billion at June 30, 2015, down $5.7 billion, or four percent, from March 31, 2015 due to ongoing portfolio liquidations and:
  ¡ Sales of $3.3 billion of private-label securities.
  ¡ Securitization of $2.1 billion of single-family reperforming and modified loans.
    Continued to maintain a low sensitivity to interest rates on an economic basis:
  ¡ Duration gap averaged zero months for the second quarter of 2015.
  ¡ Portfolio market value sensitivity to an adverse 50 basis point parallel movement in interest rates averaged $98 million for the second quarter of 2015.

Multifamily Segment

Providing financing for affordable and workforce rental housing and transferring credit risk to private investors

 

    Multifamily segment comprehensive income was $366 million for the second quarter of 2015, an increase of $102 million from the first quarter of 2015. The increase primarily reflects higher unrealized gains on available-for-sale securities.
    New purchase volume remained strong at $13.1 billion in the second quarter of 2015, up by $3.1 billion from the first quarter of 2015.
  ¡ The full year 2015 new multifamily business activity (excluding certain targeted loan types) is subject to a cap of $30.0 billion in UPB based on the 2015 Conservatorship Scorecard.
  ¡ Approximately 70 percent of the $23.1 billion in new business activity in the first half of 2015 counted towards the 2015 volume limit, while the remaining 30 percent was excluded.
    Continuing the company’s focus on transferring credit risk to private investors, 92 percent of the new multifamily mortgage loans purchased in both the second quarter and the first half of 2015 are intended to be securitized into K-deals.
  ¡ Securitized $10.0 billion through seven K-deal offerings in the second quarter of 2015.

    Multifamily delinquency rate remained very low at one basis point at June 30, 2015, reflecting continued strong portfolio performance.
    Provided financing for more than 170,000 rental units in the second quarter of 2015, nearly 90 percent of which are affordable to families earning low to median incomes.

Housing Market Support

Freddie Mac supports the U.S. housing market by ensuring credit availability for new and refinanced mortgages as well as rental housing. The company also helps struggling homeowners avoid foreclosure and helps stabilize communities nationwide. Since the beginning of 2009, Freddie Mac has helped nearly 14.1 million American families own or rent a home and over 1.1 million families avoid foreclosure. At the same time, the company is working with the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA), its customers and the industry to build a stronger housing finance system for the nation.

Providing Liquidity – Freddie Mac provides access to financing for new and refinanced mortgages and rental housing. In the second quarter of 2015, the company:

 

    Provided $115.2 billion in liquidity to the market mostly through its purchases of loans, funding approximately 450,000 single-family homes and 170,000 multifamily rental units.
    Purchased refinance loans of $61.7 billion which accounted for 61 percent of the company’s single-family mortgage purchase volume. The company’s purchase volume of refinance loans has remained high in recent quarters due to lower average long-term mortgage interest rates.

Freddie Mac is working to responsibly expand access to affordable housing for America’s families. In the second quarter of 2015, the company:

 

    Eliminated fees for its Loan Prospector automated underwriting tool, reducing the lending industry’s cost of expanding mortgage credit to eligible borrowers.
    Increased access to its new three percent down payment mortgage, Home Possible AdvantageSM, by expanding partnerships with state housing finance agencies and their associated lenders.

Preventing Foreclosures – Freddie Mac helps struggling borrowers retain their homes or otherwise avoid foreclosure.

 

    The company completed approximately 26,000 single-family loan workouts in the second quarter, bringing the total number of homeowners the company has helped to avoid foreclosure to over 1.1 million since the beginning of 2009.
    When foreclosure is unavoidable, Freddie Mac has helped to further stabilize communities by focusing its real estate owned home sales on owner-occupants, who have made up two–thirds of its purchasers since the beginning of 2009, and by promoting industry-leading standards for property preservation.

Building a Stronger Mortgage Market – Working with FHFA and the industry, Freddie Mac is building a stronger, more efficient mortgage market that benefits the nation’s homebuyers, renters and taxpayers. In the second quarter, together with FHFA, the company made further progress in improving the industry’s infrastructure, including:

 

    Introducing stronger private mortgage insurance eligibility requirements and revised eligibility standards for its seller/servicers – new benchmarks for operational efficiency and financial strength.
    Issuing an update on the Single Security, including how the security will be developed and the progress made to date.

About Freddie Mac’s Conservatorship

Since September 2008, Freddie Mac has been operating under conservatorship, with FHFA as Conservator. The support provided by Treasury pursuant to the Senior Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement (Purchase Agreement) enables the company to maintain access to the debt markets and have adequate liquidity to conduct its normal business operations.

Treasury Draw Requests and Dividend Payments

 

LOGO

 

(1) The initial $1 billion liquidation preference of senior preferred stock was issued to Treasury in September 2008 as consideration for Treasury’s funding commitment. The company received no cash proceeds as a result of issuing this initial $1 billion liquidation preference of senior preferred stock.
(2) Amount does not include the September 2015 dividend obligation of $3.9 billion.

 

    Dividend obligation to Treasury in September 2015 will be $3.9 billion, based on Freddie Mac’s net worth of $5.7 billion at June 30, 2015, less the 2015 capital reserve amount of $1.8 billion.
    Aggregate cash dividends paid to Treasury will total $96.5 billion (including the September 2015 dividend obligation), $25.1 billion more than cumulative cash draws of $71.3 billion received from Treasury through June 30, 2015.
    Treasury still maintains a liquidation preference of $72.3 billion on the company’s senior preferred stock as of June 30, 2015.
  ¡ The payment of dividends does not reduce the outstanding liquidation preference under the Purchase Agreement.
  ¡ Freddie Mac is not permitted to redeem the senior preferred stock prior to the termination of Treasury’s funding commitment under the Purchase Agreement.
  ¡    The limited circumstances under which Treasury’s funding commitment will terminate are described in “NOTE 2: CONSERVATORSHIP AND RELATED MATTERS — Purchase Agreement and Warrant” in the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.
    The Purchase Agreement does not allow the company to retain capital in excess of the applicable capital reserve amount.
  ¡ Beginning in 2013, the required quarterly senior preferred stock dividend equals the amount, if any, by which the company’s net worth as of the end of the preceding quarter exceeds the applicable capital reserve amount.
  ¡ The applicable capital reserve amount is $1.8 billion for 2015. It will be reduced by $600 million each year thereafter until it reaches zero on January 1, 2018.
    The amount of remaining funding available to Freddie Mac under the Purchase Agreement with Treasury is $140.5 billion, and will be reduced by any future draws.
