McLean, VA - Freddie Mac (OTCQB: FMCC) today reported net income of $3.7 billion for the second quarter of 2021, an increase of 107% year-over-year, primarily driven by higher net revenues and a credit reserve release, primarily in the Single-Family segment. The company also reported comprehensive income of $3.6 billion for the second quarter of 2021, an increase of 86% year-over-year.

Net revenues increased 41% year-over-year to $5.9 billion, primarily driven by higher net interest income. Net interest income increased 66% year-over-year to $4.8 billion, primarily driven by continued growth in the Single-Family mortgage portfolio, higher average guarantee fee rates on the Single-Family mortgage portfolio, and higher deferred fee income recognition.

Credit-related income was $0.2 billion for the second quarter of 2021, compared to credit-related expense of $0.7 billion for the second quarter of 2020, driven by a reserve release due to realized house price appreciation and improving economic conditions. Credit-related expense in the second quarter of 2020 was primarily driven by the negative economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Key Drivers

Net income and comprehensive income increased year-over-year, mainly driven by:

•Higher net interest income primarily due to continued mortgage portfolio growth, higher average guarantee fee rates, and higher deferred fee income recognition.

•Credit-related income in the second quarter of 2021 compared to credit-related expense in the second quarter of 2020, primarily driven by a benefit for credit losses as a result of a credit reserve release due to realized house price appreciation and improving economic conditions. This was partially offset by a decrease in credit enhancement recoveries. Credit-related expense in the second quarter of 2020 was primarily driven by the negative economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Business Highlights

•The company provided funding for approximately 1.0 million single-family homes, more than 708,000 of which were refinance loans. First-time homebuyers represented 47% of new single-family purchase loans.

•Single-Family loan workout activity decreased to 88,000, from 89,000 in the second quarter of 2020.

•1.67% of loans in the Single-Family mortgage portfolio, based on loan count, were in forbearance as of June 30, 2021.

•Credit enhancement coverage of the Single-Family mortgage portfolio decreased to 49%, from 52% in the second quarter of 2020, primarily due to a higher proportion of recently acquired loans with lower LTV ratios and the high volume of new business activity which has not been included in credit risk transfer (CRT) transactions, but may be included in future periods.

Key Drivers

•Net income and comprehensive income decreased year-over-year, mainly driven by lower net investment gains primarily due to less K Certificate spread tightening, lower net impacts from index lock activity, and a smaller volume of fixed-rate held-for-sale loan commitments, partially offset by higher floating-rate loan securitization volume.

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 Purchase Agreement enables the company to maintain access to the debt markets and have adequate liquidity to conduct its normal business operations. The amount of funding available to Freddie Mac under the Purchase Agreement was $140.2 billion at June 30, 2021.

Due to changes to the terms of the senior preferred stock pursuant to the January 2021 Letter Agreement, the company will not be required to pay a dividend to Treasury until it has built sufficient capital to meet the capital requirements and buffers set forth in the Enterprise Regulatory Capital Framework (ERCF). As a result, the company was not required to pay a dividend to Treasury on the senior preferred stock in June 2021. As the company builds capital during this period, the quarterly increases in its Net Worth Amount have been, or will be, added to the aggregate liquidation preference of the senior preferred stock. The liquidation preference of the senior preferred stock increased to $91.4 billion on June 30, 2021 based on the $2.4 billion increase in the Net Worth Amount during the first quarter of 2021, and will increase to $95.0 billion on September 30, 2021 based on the $3.6 billion increase in the Net Worth Amount during the second quarter of 2021.

On June 23, 2021, the U.S. Supreme Court decided in Collins v. Yellen that the 'for cause' removal provision for the director of FHFA in the Housing and Economic Recovery Act was unconstitutional. As a result, the President has the power to remove the FHFA Director at will. In this decision, the U.S. Supreme Court also noted that 'the Recovery Act authorizes the agency to act in what it determines is 'in the best interests of the regulated entity or the Agency,'' further providing that 'when the FHFA acts as a conservator, it may aim to rehabilitate the regulated entity in a way that, while not in the best interests of the regulated entity, is beneficial to the Agency and, by extension, the public it serves.'
