McLean, VA - Freddie Mac (OTCQB: FMCC) today reported net income of $2.0 billion for the first quarter of 2023, a decrease of 47% year-over-year, primarily driven by lower net revenues and a credit reserve build in the current period compared to a credit reserve release in the prior year period.
Net revenues were $4.8 billion, down 17% year-over-year, as higher net interest income was offset by a decline in non-interest income. Net interest income was $4.5 billion, up 10% year-over-year, primarily driven by mortgage portfolio growth, higher average portfolio guarantee fee rates, and higher investments net interest income due to higher interest rates. These increases were partially offset by a decline in deferred fee income due to slower prepayments as a result of higher mortgage interest rates. Non-interest income was $0.3 billion, down 81% year-over year, primarily driven by a decline in net investment gains in Single-Family from elevated levels in the prior year period.
Provision for credit losses was $0.4 billion for the first quarter of 2023, driven by a modest credit reserve build primarily attributable to new acquisitions in Single-Family. The benefit for credit losses of $0.8 billion for the first quarter of 2022 was primarily driven by a credit reserve release due to higher estimated house prices and an improvement in forecasted economic conditions.
Non-interest expense remained unchanged at $1.9 billion.

First Quarter 2023
Net income of $1.7 billion, down 51% year-over-year.
•Net revenues were $4.2 billion, down 19% year-over year.
◦Net interest income was $4.3 billion, up 13% year-over-year, primarily driven by mortgage portfolio growth, higher average portfolio guarantee fee rates, and higher investments net interest income due to higher interest rates. These increases were partially offset by a decline in deferred fee income due to slower prepayments driven by higher mortgage interest rates.
◦Non-interest income was a loss of $0.1 billion for the first quarter of 2023, compared to non-interest income of $1.4 billion for the first quarter of 2022, which was primarily driven by spread-related gains on commitments to hedge the securitization pipeline during that period.
•Provision for credit losses was $0.3 billion for the first quarter of 2023, driven by a modest credit reserve build primarily attributable to new acquisitions. The benefit for credit losses of $0.8 billion for the first quarter of 2022 was driven by a credit reserve release due to higher estimated house prices and an improvement in forecasted economic conditions.

Net income of $0.3 billion, down 18% year-over-year.
•Net revenues were $0.6 billion, down 1% year-over-year.
◦Net interest income was $0.2 billion, down 31% year-over-year, primarily due to lower prepayment income driven by higher mortgage interest rates.
◦Non-interest income was $0.4 billion, up 25% year-over-year, primarily driven by higher guarantee income, partially offset by lower net investment gains. Guarantee income increased as the first quarter of 2022 included fair value losses on guarantee assets due to rising interest rates. Net investment gains declined due to lower revenue from held-for-sale loan purchase and securitization activity as a result of lower volumes and lower margins, coupled with net losses from interest-rate risk management activities.
•Provision for credit losses was $0.1 billion for the first quarter of 2023, compared to a small benefit for credit losses for the first quarter of 2022, primarily due to a credit reserve build to reflect increased uncertainty in forecasted economic conditions.

Business Highlights
•The company provided financing for 60,000 multifamily rental units. 64% of the eligible multifamily rental units financed were affordable to low-income families.
•The Multifamily delinquency rate increased slightly quarter-over-quarter and also increased year-over-year. The year-over-year change was primarily driven by an increase in delinquent loans in our senior housing and small balance loan portfolios. 95% of the delinquent loans in the Multifamily mortgage portfolio have credit enhancement coverage.
•The UPB of mortgage loans covered by new CRT transactions decreased year-over-year, primarily due to fewer securitizations with subordination as a result of a smaller average held-for-sale securitization pipeline.

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 March 31, 2023.
Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, Freddie Mac will not be required to pay a dividend to Treasury on the senior preferred stock until it has built sufficient capital to meet the capital requirements and buffers set forth in the Enterprise Regulatory Capital Framework. As a result, the company was not required to pay a dividend to Treasury on the senior preferred stock in March 2023. 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 $109.7 billion on March 31, 2023 based on the increase in the Net Worth Amount during the fourth quarter of 2022, and will increase to $111.7 billion on June 30, 2023 based on the increase in the Net Worth Amount during the first quarter of 2023.
