  • Net income of $2.0 billion, 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 of $4.8 billion, a decrease of 17% year-over-year, as higher net interest income was offset by a decline in non- interest income
  • Provision for credit losses of $0.4 billion in the first quarter of 2023, compared to a benefit for credit losses of $0.8 billion in the first quarter of 2022
  • New business activity of $59 billion, down 72% year-over-year, as both home purchase activity and refinance activity slowed due to higher mortgage interest rates
  • Mortgage portfolio of $3.0 trillion, up 4% year-over-year and flat quarter-over-quarter, as portfolio growth has moderated in recent periods due to the slowdown in new business activity
  • Serious delinquency rate of 0.62%, down from 0.92% at March 31, 2022, primarily driven by the decline of loans in forbearance
  • Completed approximately 24,000 loan workouts
  • 62% of mortgage portfolio covered by credit enhancements
  • New business activity of $6 billion, down 60% year-over-year, as higher mortgage interest rates and greater market uncertainty have reduced demand for multifamily mortgage financing
  • Mortgage portfolio of $426 billion, up 3% year-over-year and down 1% quarter-over-quarter, primarily due to the slowdown in new business activity
  • Delinquency rate of 0.13%, up from 0.08% at March 31, 2022
  • 93% of mortgage portfolio covered by credit enhancements

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-interestincome 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.

First Quarter 2023

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-interestincome 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.
