MD&A | Introduction

PART I-FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

We have been under conservatorship, with the Federal Housing Finance Agency ("FHFA") acting as conservator, since September 6, 2008. As conservator, FHFA succeeded to all rights, titles, powers and privileges of the company, and of any shareholder, officer or director of the company with respect to the company and its assets. The conservator has since provided for the exercise of certain authorities by our Board of Directors. Our directors do not have any fiduciary duties to any person or entity except to the conservator and, accordingly, are not obligated to consider the interests of the company, the holders of our equity or debt securities, or the holders of Fannie Mae MBS unless specifically directed to do so by the conservator.

We do not know when or how the conservatorship will terminate, what further changes to our business will be made during or following conservatorship, what form we will have and what ownership interest, if any, our current common and preferred stockholders will hold in us after the conservatorship is terminated or whether we will continue to exist following conservatorship. Members of Congress and the Administration continue to express the importance of housing finance system reform.

We are not currently permitted to pay dividends or other distributions to stockholders. Our agreements with the U.S. Department of the Treasury ("Treasury") include a commitment from Treasury to provide us with funds to maintain a positive net worth under specified conditions; however, the U.S. government does not guarantee our securities or other obligations. Our agreements with Treasury also include covenants that significantly restrict our business activities. For additional information on the conservatorship, the uncertainty of our future, our agreements with Treasury, and recent developments relating to housing finance reform, see "Business-Conservatorship, Treasury Agreements and Housing Finance Reform" and "Risk Factors" in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 ("2020 Form 10-K") and "Legislation and Regulation" in this report.

You should read this MD&A in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes in this report and the more detailed information in our 2020 Form 10-K. You can find a "Glossary of Terms Used in This Report" in our 2020 Form 10-K.

Forward-looking statements in this report are based on management's current expectations and are subject to significant uncertainties and changes in circumstances, as we describe in "Forward-Looking Statements." Future events and our future results may differ materially from those reflected in our forward-looking statements due to a variety of factors, including those discussed in "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in this report and in our 2020 Form 10-K.

Introduction

Fannie Mae is a leading source of financing for mortgages in the United States, with $4.2 trillion in assets as of June 30, 2021. Organized as a government-sponsored entity, Fannie Mae is a shareholder-owned corporation. Our charter is an act of Congress, and we have a mission under that charter to provide liquidity and stability to the residential mortgage market and to promote access to mortgage credit. We were initially established in 1938.

Our revenues are primarily driven by guaranty fees we receive for assuming the credit risk on loans underlying the mortgage-backed securities we issue. We do not originate loans or lend money directly to borrowers. Rather, we work primarily with lenders who originate loans to borrowers. We securitize those loans into Fannie Mae mortgage-backed securities that we guarantee (which we refer to as Fannie Mae MBS or our MBS).

Effectively managing credit risk is key to our business. In exchange for assuming credit risk on the loans we acquire, we receive guaranty fees. These fees take into account the credit risk characteristics of the loans we acquire. Guaranty fees are set at the time we acquire loans and do not change over the life of the loan. How long a loan remains in our guaranty book is heavily dependent on interest rates. When interest rates decrease, a larger portion of our book of business turns over as more loans refinance. On the other hand, as interest rates increase, fewer loans refinance and our book turns over more slowly. Since guaranty fees are set at the time a loan is originated, the impact of any change in guaranty fees on future revenues is dependent on the rate at which newly originated loans replace the existing loans in our book of business.

			Net revenues			Net income		Comprehensive income			Net worth

• Net revenues increased $2.5 billion in the second quarter of 2021 compared with the second quarter of 2020, primarily due to an increase in net amortization income as a result of high prepayment volumes from loan refinancings in the second quarter of 2021 driven by the continued low interest-rate environment, as well as higher base guaranty fees due to an increase in the size of our guaranty book of business. High prepayments result in accelerated amortization of cost basis adjustments, including upfront fees we received at the time of loan acquisition. We anticipate net revenues from prepayment activity will begin to slow in the second half of 2021 as we expect mortgage interest rates are likely to rise modestly, resulting in fewer borrowers who can benefit from a refinancing. Lower levels of refinancing will likely slow the accelerated amortization of cost basis adjustments for loans in our book of business as loans remain outstanding for longer, and therefore will likely result in lower amortization income in any one period.
• Net income increased $4.6 billion in the second quarter of 2021 compared with the second quarter of 2020, driven primarily by a shift from credit-related expense in the second quarter of 2020 to credit-related income in the second quarter of 2021 and higher net revenues as discussed above. Credit-related expense in the second quarter of 2020 was driven by economic dislocation caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Credit-related income in the second quarter of 2021 was primarily driven by strong actual and forecasted home price growth and a benefit from the redesignation of reperforming loans. Additional drivers of increased net income in the second quarter of 2021 included lower fair value losses and an increase in investment gains related to reperforming loan sales.
• Net worth increased to $37.3 billion as of June 30, 2021 from $30.2 billion as of March 31, 2021. The increase is attributable to $7.1 billion of comprehensive income for the second quarter of 2021.
