Exhibit 99.1
Freddie Mac Reports Net Income of $0.2 Billion and
Comprehensive Income of $0.6 Billion for First Quarter 2020
The Company Takes Extraordinary Steps to Support the Market During the Pandemic
 
“Freddie Mac’s first quarter was marked by unprecedented challenges to our country, our business and our markets - and I am very proud of how we have responded. We are offering relief to millions of homeowners and renters, supporting our customers in new and vital ways, and serving as a stabilizing force for the housing finance system. Through these efforts, we are continuing to fully serve our mission.”














David M. Brickman Chief Executive Officer

 
First Quarter 2020 Financial Results(1)
•
Comprehensive income of $0.6 billion, down $1.8 billion from the prior quarter, driven by:
▪
Higher credit-related expense of $1.1 billion, or $0.9 billion, after-tax, primarily due to higher expected credit losses as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic;
▪
Lower gains on single-family asset disposition activity of $0.6 billion, or $0.5 billion, after-tax; and
▪
Higher market-related losses of $0.3 billion, after-tax, primarily driven by spread widening due to the pandemic.
•
Total equity/net worth(2) increased to $9.5 billion at March 31, 2020, from $9.1 billion at December 31, 2019.
 
COVID-19 Pandemic Response Efforts(1)
•
Actions To Support Homeowners and Renters — In March 2020, working with the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA), the company took steps to provide relief to homeowners, renters, and multifamily property owners with Freddie Mac-backed loans, including mortgage forbearance and eviction protection.
•
Actions To Support Lenders — Also working with FHFA, the company introduced temporary measures to provide sellers with clarity and flexibility to help them continue to support borrowers.
Open for Business
•
Freddie Mac demonstrated its business resiliency and importance to the housing markets by continuing to serve its critical mission during the pandemic.
▪
New business activity was $138 billion for Single-Family and $10 billion for Multifamily in the first quarter of 2020. The Single-Family and Multifamily guarantee portfolios grew 6% and 13%, respectively, year over year.
▪
Credit enhancement coverage of the Single-Family credit guarantee portfolio increased to 58% in the first quarter of 2020 from 56% in the prior quarter; credit enhancement coverage of the Multifamily mortgage portfolio remained at 89%.
•
As of March 31, 2020, the company maintained sufficient liquidity to meet its contractual obligations and continued to actively access the debt markets.
•
The company has not experienced any significant operational or technological issues associated with its pandemic response efforts despite more than 95% of its workforce working remotely.
•
In addition, the company continued to engage with its customers and third parties to ensure continuity of critical business activities.

McLean, VA — Freddie Mac (OTCQB: FMCC) today reported net income of $0.2 billion for the first quarter of 2020, compared to net income of $2.6 billion for the fourth quarter of 2019. The company also reported comprehensive income of $0.6 billion for the first quarter of 2020, compared to comprehensive income of $2.4 billion for the fourth quarter of 2019.
•
Comprehensive income decreased $1.8 billion from the prior quarter, mainly due to:
▪
Higher credit-related expense of $1.1 billion primarily driven by higher expected credit losses on loans as a result of the pandemic, partially offset by the related expected recoveries from credit enhancements, such as STACR and ACIS, on the corresponding loans;
▪
Losses on single-family loans held in inventory due to effects from the pandemic, combined with lower gains on single-family reperforming and nonperforming loan sales due to a lower volume of dispositions;
▪
Higher market-related losses primarily driven by spread widening, resulting in higher Multifamily spread-related fair value losses, partially offset by higher fair value gains on certain Single-Family credit risk transfer (CRT) transactions, both due to the effects of the pandemic;
◦
Although certain interest rates, such as the 10-year Treasury, reached all-time lows during the quarter, interest rate-related impacts on comprehensive income were minimal due to the company's effective use of hedge accounting; and
▪
Lower net amortization income driven by the timing differences in amortization related to prepayments between the debt of consolidated trusts and the underlying mortgage loans, as loan prepayments increased significantly in March 2020.

Selected Financial Measures
 Net Interest Income and Net Interest Yield
(Dollars in billions)
chart-c97d3a425c7d5aefb92.jpg

•
Net interest income and net interest yield decreased from the prior quarter, primarily driven by a less favorable hedge accounting mismatch and lower amortization income due to the timing difference in amortization related to prepayments between the debt of consolidated trusts and the underlying mortgage loans, partially offset by increased contractual net interest income from the Single-Family guarantee portfolio.
Guarantee Fee Income(1) and
Multifamily Guarantee Portfolio
chart-5b21dc48e5fe53d0b98.jpg
(1) Guarantee fee income on a GAAP basis is primarily from the company’s multifamily business.

•
The company’s guarantee business remained strong in the first quarter of 2020 as evidenced by continued high contractual guarantee fee income. Improvements in the fair value of multifamily guarantee assets due to declines in interest rates resulted in an increase in guarantee fee income in the quarter.

Credit-Related Expense(1)(2) 
(Dollars in billions)
chart-3ae024fbc7dda56d479.jpg
(1) Excludes interest expense related to single-family CRT debt included in GAAP net interest income.
(2) The company adopted the Current Expected Credit Losses (CECL) impairment model on January 1, 2020. See the company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, for additional information.
•
Credit-related expense increased from the prior quarter, primarily due to:
▪
A shift from a benefit for credit losses to a provision to incorporate the forecasts of higher expected credit losses on loans as a result of the pandemic; partially offset by
▪
A shift from a credit enhancement expense to a benefit due to an increase in expected recoveries from certain credit enhancements, such as STACR and ACIS transactions, as a result of the corresponding increase in expected credit losses on the covered loans.

Non-GAAP Financial Measure Highlights
In addition to analyzing the company’s results on a GAAP basis, management reviews net interest income and guarantee fee income on an “adjusted,” or non-GAAP, basis. These adjusted financial measures are calculated by reclassifying certain credit guarantee-related activities and investment-related activities between various line items on the company’s GAAP consolidated statements of comprehensive income. The company also presents one additional non-GAAP financial measure, adjusted net interest yield, that is calculated based on adjusted net interest income. Management believes that this non-GAAP financial measure is useful because it more clearly reflects the company’s sources of revenue and return.
For additional information about the company's non-GAAP financial measures and reconciliations to the comparable amounts under GAAP, see pages 16 - 17 of this press release.

Non-GAAP financial measure. For reconciliations to the comparable amounts under GAAP, see page 16 of this press release.
 Amounts may not add due to rounding. 
•
Adjusted net interest income and adjusted net interest yield increased slightly from the prior quarter, primarily driven by lower funding costs due to the decline in interest rates as a result of the pandemic, partially offset by a higher proportion of the lower yielding other investments portfolio.
•
The mortgage-related investments portfolio was $211 billion, down more than $1 billion, or 1%, from the prior quarter and $8 billion, or 4%, from the prior year. In February 2019, FHFA directed the company to maintain the mortgage-related investments portfolio at or below $225 billion at all times.

Non-GAAP financial measure. For reconciliations to the comparable amounts under GAAP, see page 16 of this press release.
Amounts may not add due to rounding. 
•
Adjusted guarantee fee income remained strong, increasing slightly from the prior quarter. Increases in Multifamily guarantee fee income and Single-Family contractual guarantee fee income were partially offset by lower Single-Family upfront fee amortization income due to lower loan prepayments compared to the prior quarter.
•
The total guarantee portfolio grew $30 billion, or 1%, from the prior quarter and $138 billion, or 6%, from the prior year, driven by increases in both the Single-Family and Multifamily guarantee portfolios.
Return on Conservatorship Capital (ROCC)
The table below provides the ROCC, calculated as (1) annualized comprehensive income for the period divided by (2) average conservatorship capital during the period.  
ROCC is not based on the company's total equity and does not reflect actual returns on total equity. The company does not believe that returns on total equity are meaningful because of the net worth limit imposed since 2012 under the Purchase Agreement. In addition, the company believes that returns post-conservatorship would most likely be lower than the levels calculated below, assuming the same portfolio of risk assets, as it expects that it would hold capital above the minimum required regulatory capital levels and that it would likely be required to pay fees for federal government support, thereby reducing its total comprehensive income.
The Conservatorship Capital Framework (CCF) has been and may be further revised by FHFA from time to time, including in connection with FHFA’s consideration and adoption of a final Enterprise Capital Rule, which could possibly result in material changes in the company's conservatorship capital and, thus, its returns on conservatorship capital. FHFA has announced that it plans to re-propose the Enterprise Capital Rule in 2020.

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, Multifamily, and Capital Markets. The company presents Segment Earnings for each reportable segment by reclassifying certain credit guarantee-related activities and investment-related activities between various line items on its GAAP consolidated statements of comprehensive income and allocating certain revenues and expenses, including funding costs and administrative expenses, to its three reportable segments.
For more information about Segment Earnings, see Note 13 to the financial statements included in the company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020.

The financial performance of the company’s Single-Family Guarantee segment is measured based on its contribution to GAAP net income (loss).
Key Drivers
Comprehensive income decreased from the prior quarter, primarily due to:
•
Higher credit-related expense primarily driven by higher expected credit losses on loans as a result of the pandemic, partially offset by the related expected recoveries from credit enhancements, such as STACR and ACIS, on the corresponding covered loans;
•
Lower guarantee fee income due to a decline in upfront fee amortization resulting from lower loan prepayments in the current quarter as compared to the prior quarter; and
•
Higher investment gains due to higher fair value gains on certain CRT transactions resulting from significant spread widening in the first quarter, partially offset by valuation losses on single-family loans held in inventory, both driven by the impact of the pandemic. Gains were lower on reperforming and nonperforming loan sales due to a lower volume of dispositions.
Business Highlights
 
•
New business activity was $138 billion, a decrease of $9 billion, or 6%, from the prior quarter, primarily resulting from a decrease in purchase volume.


Freddie Mac First Quarter 2020 Financial Results
April 30, 2020
Page 8

▪
The weighted average original loan-to-value (LTV) ratio of new business activity was 74% for the first quarter of 2020, down from 75% for the prior quarter, while the weighted average original credit score was 752, unchanged from the prior quarter.
▪
The average guarantee fee rate charged on new acquisitions was 49 basis points, up from 48 basis points for the prior quarter.
▪
First-time homebuyers represented 47% of new single-family purchase loans in the first quarter of 2020.
▪
The company provided funding for 526,000 single-family homes, nearly 309,000 of which were refinance loans.
•
The Single-Family credit guarantee portfolio increased 6% from March 31, 2019, to $2,020 billion at March 31, 2020, driven by an increase in U.S. single-family mortgage debt outstanding as a result of home price appreciation.
▪
The average guarantee fee rate on the Single-Family credit guarantee portfolio was 42 basis points, down from 45 basis points for the prior quarter.
◦
The rate decreased in the first quarter of 2020 due to the decreased amortization of single-family upfront fees, net of hedging, driven by a lower prepayment rate, partially offset by an increase in contractual guarantee fees as older vintages were replaced by acquisitions of new loans with higher contractual guarantee fees.
•
The Single-Family serious delinquency rate declined to 0.60%, from 0.63% at the end of the prior year.
•
The company reduces the amount of conservatorship capital needed for credit risk by shifting the risk of credit losses from Freddie Mac to third-party investors through its CRT transactions, primarily STACR and ACIS transactions.
▪
As of March 31, 2020, 51% of the Single-Family credit guarantee portfolio was covered by certain CRT transactions (including STACR, ACIS, certain senior subordination securitization structures, and certain lender risk-sharing transactions), and conservatorship capital needed for credit risk on this population was reduced by approximately 75% through these CRT transactions based on prescribed CCF guidelines.

The financial performance of the company’s Multifamily segment is measured based on its contribution to GAAP comprehensive income (loss).
Key Drivers
Comprehensive income decreased from the prior quarter, primarily due to:
•
Investment losses (net of other comprehensive income), primarily driven by increased spread-related fair value losses due to spread widening in the first quarter of 2020, combined with losses on derivatives used to economically hedge index lock commitments due to interest rate declines as a result of the market volatility caused by the pandemic;
▪
Economic hedging losses will be mostly offset in the second quarter of 2020 as the index locks become loan purchase commitments that are measured at fair value; and
•
Higher guarantee fee income, driven by improvements in the fair value of guarantee assets due to declines in interest rates.
Business Highlights 
•
New business activity was $10.0 billion, a 44% decrease from the prior quarter, as funding activity is typically higher at year-end.
▪
In September 2019, FHFA announced a revised loan purchase cap structure for the multifamily business. The loan purchase cap is $100.0 billion for the five-quarter period from the fourth quarter of 2019 through the fourth quarter of 2020 and at least 37.5% of the new multifamily business must be mission-driven, affordable housing over the same five-quarter period.
◦
As of March 31, 2020, the total cumulative new business activity subject to the cap was $27.4 billion. Approximately 39% of this activity was mission-driven, affordable housing.
▪
The weighted average original LTV ratio of new business activity was 69% for the first quarter of 2020, substantially unchanged from the prior quarter.
▪
The company provided financing for more than 111,000 rental units.
▪
96% of the eligible multifamily rental units financed in the first quarter of 2020 were affordable to families earning at or below 120% of area median incomes.
•
The Multifamily guarantee portfolio increased to $275 billion, driven by new securitization activity.
•
The Multifamily delinquency rate remained low at 0.08%.

•
As of March 31, 2020, the company had cumulatively transferred the large majority of expected and stress credit risk on the Multifamily guarantee portfolio, primarily through subordination in its securitizations.
▪
In addition, nearly all of the company's securitization activities shifted substantially all the interest-rate and liquidity risk associated with the underlying collateral away from Freddie Mac to third-party investors.

The financial performance of the company’s Capital Markets segment is measured based on its contribution to GAAP comprehensive income (loss).
Key Drivers
•
Comprehensive income decreased from the prior quarter, primarily due to:
▪
Higher fair value losses on investments (some of which are recorded in other comprehensive income) due to spread widening, partially offset by fair value gains due to lower interest rates, combined with losses from derivatives due to lower interest rates, most of which were deferred due to the company’s effective use of hedge accounting. Spread changes and lower interest rates were both driven by significant market volatility caused by the pandemic;
▪
Lower gains on reperforming loan sales due to a lower volume of dispositions; and
▪
Higher amortization expense in other income (loss) due to the timing difference in amortization related to prepayments between the debt of consolidated trusts and the underlying mortgage loans; partially offset by
▪
Increased net interest income driven by lower amortization expense due to a decrease in loan prepayments.
Business Highlights
 
•
Freddie Mac continued to maintain a presence in the agency mortgage-related securities market to strategically support the guarantee business. 
•
While the company continued to actively reduce its holdings of less liquid assets during the first quarter of 2020, the effect of the pandemic on market conditions negatively affected the overall liquidity of the company's portfolios. In addition, although FHFA has instructed the company to maintain loans in COVID-19 payment forbearance plans in mortgage-backed security pools for at least the duration of the forbearance plan, its less liquid assets are likely to increase in future periods as the company will likely purchase a higher amount of delinquent and modified loans out of Freddie Mac mortgage-backed security pools. Its less liquid assets are likely to increase in future periods as the company expects its ability to continue to sell less liquid assets at acceptable prices may be negatively affected by the market volatility caused by the pandemic.

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.
Treasury Draws(1) and Dividend Payments
(Dollars in billions)

(1) 
Excludes the initial $1 billion liquidation preference of senior preferred stock issued to Treasury in September 2008 as consideration for Treasury’s funding commitment, and the increases in the aggregate liquidation preference of the senior preferred stock pursuant to the December 2017 and September 2019 Letter Agreements. The company received no cash proceeds in connection with the initial $1 billion liquidation preference of senior preferred stock or the $3 billion, $1.8 billion, $1.8 billion, and $2.4 billion increases on December 31, 2017, September 30, 2019, December 31, 2019, and March 31, 2020, respectively.
(2) 
As of March 31, 2020.
•
As a result of the increase in the Capital Reserve Amount pursuant to the September 2019 Letter Agreement, the company did not have a dividend requirement to Treasury on the senior preferred stock in March 2020, and it will not be required to pay a dividend on the senior preferred stock to Treasury until its Net Worth Amount exceeds $20.0 billion.
▪
Pursuant to the September 2019 Letter Agreement, the liquidation preference of the senior preferred stock increased from $79.3 billion to $81.8 billion on March 31, 2020 based on the $2.4 billion increase in the Net Worth Amount during the fourth quarter of 2019.
◦
The liquidation preference will increase to $82.2 billion on June 30, 2020 based on the $0.4 billion increase in the Net Worth Amount during the first quarter of 2020. The variance between the company's $0.6 billion comprehensive income and the increase in the liquidation preference is due to an adjustment to retained earnings made on January 1, 2020, related to the adoption of CECL, which totaled $0.2 billion, net of income taxes.
•
The amount of funding available to Freddie Mac under the Purchase Agreement remained $140.2 billion at March 31, 2020.
Amounts may not add due to rounding.

Non-GAAP Reconciliations
The company’s GAAP net interest income includes the spread earned on its investment activities plus the guarantee fees earned by its single-family business. Adjusted net interest income is the net spread earned on the company’s investment activities, including the cost of funds associated with using derivatives. Net interest yield, GAAP and adjusted, is calculated as annualized quarterly GAAP or adjusted net interest income divided by the average balance of the underlying assets and liabilities.

Notes on Significant Reclassifications
(1) Net guarantee fees, including upfront fees and related hedge amortization and implied guarantee fee income related to unsecuritized loans held in the mortgage-related investments portfolio, are reclassified from GAAP net interest income to adjusted guarantee fee income.
(2) Short-term returns on cash received related to certain upfront fees on single-family loans are reclassified from GAAP net interest income to adjusted guarantee fee income.    
(3) The accrual of periodic cash settlements of derivatives is reclassified from GAAP investment gains (losses) to adjusted net interest income to fully reflect the periodic cost associated with the protection provided by these contracts.
(4) Hedge accounting impact consists of removing the effects of hedge accounting including deferred gains and losses on closed cash flow hedges related to forecasted debt issuances.    
(5) Other reclassifications primarily relate to items reclassified out of GAAP net interest income, including the amortization related to derivative commitment basis adjustments associated with mortgage-related and non-mortgage-related securities, amortization related to accretion of other-than-temporary impairments on available-for-sale securities, amortization of discounts on loans purchased with deteriorated credit quality that are on accrual status, amortization related to premiums and discounts, including non-cash premiums and discounts, on single-family loans in trusts and on the associated consolidated securities, amortization related to premiums and discounts associated with securities issued by consolidated trusts that were previously held and subsequently transferred to third parties, costs associated with STACR debt note expenses, and internally allocated costs associated with the refinancing of debt related to Multifamily segment held-for-investment loans which were securitized.
(6) The expense related to the Temporary Payroll Tax Cut Continuation Act of 2011 is reclassified from GAAP other non-interest expense to adjusted guarantee fee income. As a result of the reclassification, the revenue and expense related to the legislated 10 basis point increase are netted within adjusted guarantee fee income.

Endnotes 1 For additional information regarding Freddie Mac’s non-GAAP financial measures and reconciliations to the comparable amounts under GAAP, see the company’s Press Release for the quarter ended March 31, 2020. 2 Based on unpaid principal balances (UPB) of loans and securities. Excludes mortgage-related securities traded, but not yet settled. In November 2019, FHFA directed Freddie Mac, by January 31, 2020, to include 10% of the notional value of certain interest-only securities owned by the company in the calculation of this portfolio, while continuing to maintain the portfolio below the limit imposed by FHFA. For this purpose, the mortgage-related investments portfolio was $215.5 billion as of March 31, 2020, including $4.3 billion representing 10% of the notional amount of the interest-only securities the company held as of March 31, 2020. 3 Primarily Freddie Mac’s K Certificate and SB (Small Balance) Certificate transactions. 4 The company’s Purchase Agreement with Treasury limits the amount of mortgage assets the company can own and indebtedness it can incur. See the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 for more information. 5 Represents the company’s aggregate indebtedness for purposes of the Purchase Agreement debt cap and primarily includes the par value of other short-term and long-term debt used to fund its business activities. Beginning in 2020, the company offset amounts recognized as payables under repurchase agreements accounted for as collateralized borrowings and amounts recognized as receivables under reverse repurchase agreements accounted for as collateralized borrowings when such amounts meet the conditions for offsetting repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements in FASB ASC Subtopic 210-20 (Balance Sheet - Offsetting). Previously, such amounts were presented on a gross basis, with amounts recognized as payables under repurchase agreements accounted for as collateralized borrowings included in Other Debt and amounts recognized as receivables under reverse repurchase agreements accounted for as collateralized borrowings included in Other Investments. Prior periods have been revised to conform to the current period presentation. 6 Excludes the initial $1 billion liquidation preference of the senior preferred stock issued to Treasury in September 2008 as consideration for Treasury’s funding commitment, and the increases in the aggregate liquidation preference of the senior preferred stock pursuant to the December 2017 and September 2019 Letter Agreements. The company received no cash proceeds in connection with the initial $1 billion liquidation preference of senior preferred stock or the $3.0 billion, $1.8 billion, $1.8 billion, and $2.4 billion increases on December 31, 2017, September 30, 2019, December 31, 2019, and March 31, 2020, respectively. 7 Represents the estimated average rate of guarantee fees for new acquisitions during the period assuming amortization of upfront fees using the estimated life of the related loans rather than the original contractual maturity date of the related loans. Includes the effect of fee adjustments that are based on the price performance of Freddie Mac’s PCs relative to comparable Fannie Mae securities. Net of legislated 10 basis point guarantee fee remitted to Treasury as part of the Temporary Payroll Tax Cut Continuation Act of 2011. 8 Multifamily's primary securitization products are K Certificates and SB Certificates. In these transactions, the company guarantees the senior securities, but does not issue or guarantee the mezzanine or subordinated securities. The interest-rate risk and a large majority of expected and stress credit risk is sold to third-party investors through the mezzanine and subordinated securities, thereby reducing the company's risk exposure. 9 Excludes re-securitization UPB of primary and other securitization products. 10 Based on the company’s purchases of loans and issuances of mortgage-related securities. For the periods presented, a borrower may be counted more than once if the company purchased more than one loan (purchase or refinance mortgage) relating to the same borrower. 11 Consists of both home retention actions and foreclosure alternatives. 12 Categories are not mutually exclusive, and a borrower in one category may also be included in another category in the same or another period. For example, a borrower helped through a home retention action in one period may subsequently lose his or her home through a foreclosure alternative in a later period. © Freddie Mac 14
