McLean, VA — Freddie Mac (OTCQB: FMCC) today reported net income of $2.9 billion for the fourth quarter of 2023, an increase of 65% year-over-year, primarily driven by higher net revenues and a credit reserve release in Single-Family in the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to a credit reserve build in Single-Family in the fourth quarter of 2022.
Net revenues were $5.4 billion for the fourth quarter of 2023, up 11% year-over-year, driven by higher net interest income and non-interest income. Net interest income for the fourth quarter of 2023 was $4.8 billion, up 4% year-over-year, primarily driven by higher investments net interest income as a result of higher short-term interest rates, partially offset by lower deferred fee income due to slower mortgage prepayment activity. Non-interest income for the fourth quarter of 2023 was $0.6 billion, up 147% year-over-year, primarily driven by higher guarantee income in Multifamily and higher net investment gains.
Benefit for credit losses was $0.5 billion for the fourth quarter of 2023, primarily driven by a credit reserve release in Single-Family due to improvements in house prices. The provision for credit losses of $0.6 billion for the fourth quarter of 2022 was primarily driven by a credit reserve build in Single-Family due to deterioration in house prices.
Full-Year 2023 Financial Results
Freddie Mac reported net income of $10.5 billion for full-year 2023, an increase of 13% year-over-year, primarily driven by a credit reserve release in Single-Family in 2023 compared to a credit reserve build in Single-Family in 2022, partially offset by higher non-interest expense.
Net revenues were $21.2 billion for full-year 2023, down slightly year-over-year, as higher net interest income was offset by lower non-interest income. Net interest income for full-year 2023 was $18.5 billion, up 3% year-over-year, primarily driven by higher investments net interest income as a result of higher short-term interest rates, partially offset by lower deferred fee income due to slower mortgage prepayment activity. Non-interest income was $2.7 billion for full-year 2023, down 18% year-over-year, as the prior year period included spread-related gains on commitments to hedge the Single-Family securitization pipeline that did not recur in 2023.
Benefit for credit losses was $0.9 billion for full-year 2023, driven by a credit reserve release in Single-Family due to improvements in house prices. The provision for credit losses of $1.8 billion for full-year 2022 was primarily driven by a credit reserve build in Single-Family due to deterioration in house prices.
Non-interest expense for full-year 2023 was $8.9 billion, up 14% year-over-year, primarily driven by higher credit enhancement expense due to a higher volume of outstanding cumulative CRT transactions and higher losses on STACR Trust note repurchases, a decrease in credit enhancement recoveries due to a decline in expected credit losses on covered loans, and an accrual of $0.3 billion for an adverse judgment at trial.

•The UPB of mortgage loans covered by CRT transactions issued during the fourth quarter of 2023 decreased compared to the fourth quarter of 2022 due to a decrease in loan acquisition activity in recent periods and changes in business strategy and market conditions.
•Single-Family loan workout activity decreased to 19,000 from 22,000 in the fourth quarter of 2022, as the seriously delinquent loan population continued to decline.
•Credit enhancement coverage of the Single-Family mortgage portfolio remained at 61%, unchanged from the fourth quarter of 2022.

Business Highlights
•The company provided financing for 155,000 multifamily rental units. 67% of eligible multifamily rental units financed were affordable to low-income families.
•The Multifamily delinquency rate increased to 0.28% at December 31, 2023, primarily driven by an increase in delinquent loans in the Multifamily senior housing and small balance loan portfolios. 89% of the delinquent loans in the Multifamily mortgage portfolio at December 31, 2023 had credit enhancement coverage.
•The UPB of mortgage loans covered by new CRT transactions decreased in the fourth quarter of 2023, compared to the fourth quarter of 2022, primarily due to the issuance of Multifamily Credit Insurance Pool (MCIP) and Structured Credit Risk (SCR) Trust note transactions in the fourth quarter of 2022. There were no MCIP or SCR Trust note transactions in the fourth quarter of 2023.

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 December 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 December 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 $117.3 billion on December 31, 2023 based on the increase in the Net Worth Amount during the third quarter of 2023, and will increase to $120.4 billion on March 31, 2024 based on the increase in the Net Worth Amount during the fourth quarter of 2023.
