Financial Highlights
•						Net income increased $10.4 billion in 2021, compared with 2020 driven primarily by a shift from credit-related expense to credit-related income, higher net interest income, and a shift from fair value losses to fair value gains.
•						Credit-related income was $5.1 billion in 2021, compared with credit-related expense of $855 million in 2020. Credit-related income in 2021 was driven primarily by strong actual and forecasted home price growth, an increase in the volume of loan redesignations, and a reduction in the company’s estimate of losses it expects to incur as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, partially offset by increases in interest rates. Credit-related expense in 2020 was driven by the impact of COVID-19 and the associated economic downturn, offset by higher actual and forecasted home prices, lower actual and projected mortgage interest rates, and the redesignation of certain reperforming single-family loans from held-for-investment to held-for-sale.
•						Net interest income increased $4.7 billion in 2021 compared with 2020, driven primarily by higher base guaranty fee income and higher amortization income. The company’s base guaranty fee income grew as a result of growth in its guaranty book of business to $3.9 trillion in 2021, from $3.6 trillion in 2020, coupled with an increase in the company’s average charged guaranty fee. Single-family refinances of $903.7 billion in 2021 drove significant prepayment activity resulting in elevated amortization income during the year. Single-family mortgage loan prepayment activity slowed in the later part of 2021; however, refinancing activity remained strong throughout most of 2021 due to the continued low interest-rate environment.
•						Fair value gains were $155 million in 2021, compared with fair value losses of $2.5 billion in 2020. Fair value gains in 2021 were driven primarily by declines in the fair value of risk management derivatives and trading securities, offset by the impact of hedge accounting. Fair value losses in 2020, before the company implemented hedge accounting, were driven primarily by declines in the fair value of commitments to sell mortgage-related securities as prices increased during the commitment period.

Key Business Highlights
•			Single-family conventional acquisition volume was $1.4 trillion in 2021. Purchase acquisition volume was $451.3 billion in 2021, the highest on record, of which nearly 50% was for first-time homebuyers. Refinance acquisition volume was $903.7 billion in 2021, a decline from $947.8 billion in 2020, the highest on record. Both purchase and refinance volumes remained elevated due to the continued low interest-rate environment.
•			Average single-family conventional guaranty book of business in 2021 increased from 2020 by 9.5% driven primarily by growth in the average balance of loans acquired during the year. Record home price appreciation in 2021 has reduced the weighted-average mark-to-market loan-to-value ratio of the company’s single-family conventional guaranty book of business to 54% as of December 31, 2021. The weighted average FICO credit score of the company’s single-family conventional guaranty book of business was 753 as of December 31, 2021.
•			Average charged guaranty fee, net of TCCA fees, on the single-family conventional guaranty book increased from 44.2 basis points as December 31, 2020 to 45.2 basis points as of December 31, 2021. Average charged guaranty fee on newly acquired single-family conventional loans, net of TCCA fees, increased 1.2 basis points to 47.6 basis points in 2021, compared with 46.4 basis points in 2020.
•			As of December 31, 2021, 0.7% of the single-family guaranty book of business based on loan count, or 117,440 loans, was in forbearance, the vast majority of which was related to the COVID-19 pandemic, compared with 3.0% as of December 31, 2020. Since the start of the pandemic, 88% of loans that entered forbearance have successfully exited.
•			Single-family serious delinquency rate decreased to 1.25% as of December 31, 2021, from 1.62% as of September 30, 2021 and 2.87% as of December 31, 2020, due to the on-going economic recovery and the decline in the number of the company’s single-family loans in a COVID-19 forbearance plan. Single-family serious delinquency rate, excluding loans in forbearance, increased to 0.81% as of December 31, 2021, from 0.72% as of September 30, 2021 and 0.66% as of December 31, 2020, due primarily to loans exiting forbearance and entering into trial modifications. The company expects the majority of loans exiting forbearance and entering trial modifications currently and in the future will successfully complete their trial modification periods. Upon successful completion of a trial modification period (typically lasting three to four months), a loan will no longer be considered seriously delinquent. 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 $69.5 billion in 2021, in compliance with the $70 billion volume cap established by the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) for 2021. The company’s 2021 business volume also met FHFA’s requirement that a minimum of 50% of volume be mission-driven, focused on specified affordable and underserved market segments, with 20% affordable to residents earning 60% of area median income or below. The cap for 2022 is $78 billion, with a minimum of 50% mission-driven volume, and 25% of loan purchases affordable to residents earning 60% or less of area median income.
•			The multifamily guaranty book of business grew by 7% in 2021 to $413.1 billion. The average charged guaranty fee on the multifamily book increased from 74.5 basis points as of December 31, 2020 to 78.4 basis points as of December 31, 2021. These changes contributed to an increase in guaranty fee revenue, which, along with higher yield maintenance revenue due to higher prepayment volumes, drove the year-over-year increase in net interest income.
•			As of December 31, 2021, nearly 90% of the loans in the company’s multifamily guaranty book of business that had received a forbearance, measured by unpaid principal balance, were in a repayment plan or reinstated. Less than 0.1% of the multifamily book, or $363 million in unpaid principal balance, was still in active forbearance, with 66% resulting from COVID-19-related financial hardship.
•			The multifamily serious delinquency rate remained flat at 0.42% as of December 31, 2021, compared with September 30, 2021, and decreased from 0.98% as of December 31, 2020, driven primarily by the on-going economic recovery resulting in loans that received forbearance completing repayment plans or otherwise reinstating, offset by an increase in forbearance resulting from natural disaster-related financial hardship. The multifamily serious delinquency rate, excluding loans that received a forbearance, increased slightly to 0.04% as of December 31, 2021 from 0.03% as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. Multifamily seriously delinquent loans are loans that are 60 days or more past due.
