Financial Highlights
•
Net income decreased $2.4 billion in 2020 compared to 2019 driven primarily by a shift from credit-related income to credit-related expenses and a reduction in investment gains driven by a decrease in the volume of reperforming loan sales. The decrease was partially offset by an increase in net revenues driven by record levels of refinancing activity in 2020. Single-family acquisition volume was $1.4 trillion, the highest level on record, of which single-family refinance volume was $948 billion, the highest level since 2003.
•
Net interest income increased $3.6 billion in 2020 compared to 2019 driven primarily by an increase in net amortization income due to high levels of refinancing activity in 2020 as interest rates declined to historically low levels in 2020 and remained low throughout the majority of the year.
•
Credit-related expense was significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Credit-related expense was $855 million in 2020, compared with credit-related income of $3.5 billion in 2019. The shift to credit-related expense in 2020 was driven by the impact of COVID-19 and the associated economic downturn, as well as a significant reduction in the volume of redesignations of reperforming single-family mortgage loans from held-for-investment to held-for-sale in 2020. This impact was partially offset by higher actual and forecasted home prices and lower actual and projected interest rates in 2020 compared to 2019.
•
Investment gains were $907 million in 2020, compared with $1.8 billion in 2019. The decrease in 2020 was driven by a reduction in the unpaid principal balance of single-family reperforming loan sales during the year.

Key Business Highlights
•
Single-family acquisition volume was $1.4 trillion in 2020, an increase of 135% compared with 2019, and the highest on record. The increase was driven by a $664 billion increase in refinance volume due to the historically low interest rate environment during the year, resulting in the highest level of refinance volumes since 2003. 38% of the company’s single-family conventional guaranty book of business as of December 31, 2020 was originated in 2020.
•
Average single-family conventional guaranty book of business during 2020 increased from 2019 by approximately $139 billion. Credit characteristics of the single-family conventional guaranty book of business remained strong, with a weighted-average mark-to-market loan-to-value ratio of 58% and weighted-average FICO credit score of 750.
•
Average charged guaranty fee, net of Temporary Payroll Tax Cut Continuation Act of 2011 (TCCA) fees, on the single-family conventional guaranty book increased from 43.4 basis points as of December 31, 2019 to 44.2 basis points basis points as of December 31, 2020. Average charged guaranty fee on newly acquired conventional single-family loans, net of TCCA fees, decreased 0.6 basis points to 46.4 basis points in 2020 from 47.0 basis points in 2019, driven primarily by the stronger credit profile of the single-family loans acquired in 2020 compared with 2019.
•
As of December 31, 2020, 3.0% of the single-family guaranty book of business based on loan count, or 524,555 loans, was in forbearance, the vast majority of which was related to the COVID-19 pandemic, compared to 4.1% as of September 30, 2020. As of December 31, 2020, 12% of the loans in forbearance were still current.
•
Single-family serious delinquency rate decreased to 2.87% as of December 31, 2020, from 3.20% as of September 30, 2020, driven by loans exiting COVID-19-related forbearance arrangements. Single-family serious delinquency rate excluding loans in forbearance was 0.66% as of December 31, 2020 and 0.65% as of September 30, 2020. Single-family seriously delinquent loans are loans that are 90 days or more past due or in the foreclosure process.

Key Business Highlights
•
New Multifamily business volume was $76 billion in 2020, the highest annual volume on record. Multifamily remained under the $100 billion FHFA volume cap announced in September 2019 with $94 billion in volume for the five-quarter period ending December 31, 2020, while meeting its goal under FHFA’s volume cap for that period of acquiring at least 37.5% of its business volume in mission-driven housing, as defined by FHFA.
•
The multifamily guaranty book of business increased by $46 billion in 2020 to $385 billion. The average charged guaranty fee on the multifamily book increased from 71.8 basis points for the year ending December 31, 2019 to 74.5 basis points for the year ending December 31, 2020. This resulted in an increase in guaranty fee revenue, which drove the increase in net interest income, but was partially offset by a decrease in yield maintenance revenue year over year.
•
As of December 31, 2020, based on unpaid principal balance, 1.4% of Fannie Mae’s multifamily guaranty book of business had received a forbearance plan, primarily as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. More than half of those loans, measured by unpaid principal balance, were in a repayment plan and 0.4% of the book, or $1.7 billion, was still in active forbearance at year end.
•
The multifamily serious delinquency rate decreased to 0.98% as of December 31, 2020 from 1.12% as of September 30, 2020. The multifamily serious delinquency rate excluding loans that have received a forbearance was 0.03% as of December 31, 2020. Multifamily seriously delinquent loans are loans that are 60 days or more past due.

(2)Aggregate amount of funds the company has drawn from Treasury pursuant to the senior preferred stock purchase agreement from 2008 through December 31, 2020.
Conservatorship and Regulatory Highlights
•
In November 2020, FHFA adopted a final rule establishing a new “enterprise regulatory capital framework” for Fannie Mae. (See “Business—Legislation and Regulation—GSE Act and Other Legislative and Regulatory Matters—Capital” in the company’s 2020 Form 10-K.)
•
In January 2021, a number of significant changes were made to the terms of the senior preferred stock purchase agreement between the company and Treasury and the dividend and liquidation provisions of the senior preferred stock, including the following:
•The dividend provisions of the senior preferred stock were amended to permit Fannie Mae to retain increases in net worth until its net worth exceeds the amount of adjusted total capital necessary to meet the capital requirements and buffers under the enterprise regulatory capital framework. After the “capital reserve end date,” which is defined as the last day of the second consecutive fiscal quarter during which it has maintained capital equal to, or in excess of, all of the capital requirements and buffers under the enterprise regulatory capital framework, the amount of quarterly dividends to Treasury will be the lesser of any quarterly increase in the company’s net worth and a 10% annual rate on the then-current liquidation preference of the senior preferred stock.
•At the end of each fiscal quarter, through and including the capital reserve end date, the liquidation preference of the senior preferred stock will be increased by an amount equal to the increase in the company’s net worth, if any, during the immediately prior fiscal quarter.
•The company may issue and retain up to $70 billion in proceeds from the sale of common stock without Treasury’s prior consent, provided that (1) Treasury has already exercised the common stock warrant it holds in full, and (2) all currently pending significant litigation relating to Fannie Mae’s conservatorship and to an amendment to the senior preferred stock purchase agreement made in August 2012 has been resolved, which may require Treasury’s assent.
•FHFA may release the company from conservatorship without Treasury’s consent after (1) all currently pending significant litigation referred to above has been resolved, and (2) the company’s common equity tier 1 capital, together with any other common stock it may issue in a public offering, equals or exceeds 3% of its “adjusted total assets” under the enterprise regulatory capital framework.
•New restrictive covenants were added that will impact Fannie Mae’s single-family and multifamily business activities.
