No
Additional Funding from Treasury Required for the First
Quarter
Pays U.S.
Treasury $1.6 Billion in Quarterly Dividends
Helps to
Finance Housing for over 510,000 American Families
| Net income of $676 million, mainly reflecting: |
| Net interest income of $4.5 billion; partially offset by | |
| Provision for credit losses of $2.0 billion; | |
| Net security impairments of $1.2 billion; and | |
| Derivative losses of $0.4 billion. |
| Total comprehensive income of $2.7 billion, consisting of: |
| Net income of $676 million; and | |
| Improvement in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) of $2.1 billion. |
| The company had positive net worth of $1.2 billion at March 31, 2011; as a result, no additional funding from Treasury was required for the first quarter of 2011. | |
| New single-family business acquired in 2009, 2010 and 2011 continues to demonstrate strong credit quality based on borrower credit scores and loan-to-value ratios at origination. | |
| Single-family serious delinquency rate of 3.63 percent at March 31, 2011, compared to 3.84 percent at December 31, 2010, remains below industry benchmarks. | |
| Foreclosure prevention efforts helped more than 62,000 borrowers avoid foreclosure in the first quarter of 2011. REO dispositions reached record levels in the first quarter with approximately 30,000 homes sold two-thirds of which were sold to owner-occupants. |
McLean, VA Freddie Mac (OTC:FMCC) today
reported net income of $676 million for the quarter ended
March 31, 2011, compared to a net loss of $113 million
for the quarter ended December 31, 2010. The company also
reported total comprehensive income of $2.7 billion in the
first quarter of 2011, compared to total comprehensive income of
$1.2 billion in the fourth quarter of 2010.
Beginning in the first quarter of 2011, Freddie Mac began
disclosing total comprehensive income on the face of its
Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. The
components of
Freddie Mac First Quarter 2011 Financial Results

total comprehensive income help show the drivers of Freddie
Macs net worth (deficit) and the companys potential
need for additional draws under the Senior Preferred Stock
Purchase Agreement (Purchase Agreement), including the relative
contribution of financial results and dividend payments to
Freddie Macs net worth (deficit). Total comprehensive
income (loss) is equal to net income (loss) plus the change in
accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of taxes
(AOCI), which is the section of the balance sheet where the
company records a portion of its mark-to-market changes on its
available-for-sale (AFS) securities. The AOCI component of
comprehensive income can vary significantly from period to
period primarily due to changes in interest rates and mortgage
spreads on the companys AFS securities and other factors.
In the first quarter of 2011, total comprehensive income was
$2.7 billion, reflecting quarterly net income of
$676 million and an increase in AOCI of $2.1 billion.
Freddie Macs positive net worth of $1.2 billion at
March 31, 2011 reflects total comprehensive income of
$2.7 billion for the first quarter of 2011 and the
$500 million received from Treasury to eliminate the net
worth deficit for the fourth quarter of 2010, which were
partially offset by a quarterly dividend payment to Treasury of
$1.6 billion on the companys senior preferred stock.
As a result of the positive net worth, no additional funding
from Treasury was required for the first quarter under the terms
of the Purchase Agreement. The table below shows Freddie
Macs requested draws from Treasury and dividend payments
to Treasury since entering conservatorship.

During the first quarter, Freddie Mac continued to work
with our conservator to strengthen our company, focusing on
initiatives that we expect will deliver long-term benefits to
the housing finance system and preserve the taxpayers
investment, said Freddie Mac Chief Executive Officer
Charles E. Haldeman, Jr. We made further progress on
our company-wide efficiency initiatives this quarter, continuing
the solid trend of cost savings that began early last year. At
the same time, our support of the U.S. housing market
remained steadfast during this critical period, funding one out
of every four home loans originated and helping more than 62,000
struggling borrowers avoid foreclosure.
Our outlook remains cautious. Continued improvements on
the employment front and in early-stage delinquencies were
positive signs during the quarter, but we believe large
inventories of unsold homes and a high number of distressed
sales will continue to put downward pressure on home prices in
many neighborhoods.
Financial
Results
The companys financial results for the first quarter of
2011 continued to be impacted by weakness in the
U.S. mortgage and credit markets. During the first quarter
of 2011, home prices decreased by an estimated 2.8 percent
nationwide, based on the companys own index of its
single-family credit guarantee portfolio. In addition, long-term
interest rates increased by approximately 17 basis points.

Net interest income was $4.5 billion for the first
quarter of 2011, compared to $4.3 billion for the fourth
quarter of 2010. Net interest income principally consists of the
net spread between the companys mortgage-related
investments portfolio and the unsecured debt which funds those
investments. Net interest yield, which represents net interest
income expressed as an annualized percentage of average
interest-earning assets, was 79 basis points for the first
quarter of 2011, compared to 75 basis points for the fourth
quarter of 2010. The increases in net interest income and net
interest yield were primarily due to decreased amortization
expense on mortgage loans held by consolidated trusts due to
slowing prepayments in the first quarter of 2011 and lower
funding costs driven by the replacement of long-term debt at
lower rates. These positive impacts were partially offset by
lower asset yields due to ongoing liquidations and purchases of
unsecuritized mortgage loans.
Provision for credit losses was $2.0 billion for the
first quarter of 2011, compared to $3.1 billion for the
fourth quarter of 2010, marking several consecutive quarterly
declines. The companys loan loss reserve balance (which
represents its estimate of probable incurred losses on loans
within its single-family credit guarantee portfolio and
multifamily mortgage portfolio) is increased by the provision
for credit losses and reduced by charge-offs. The decrease in
the first quarter 2011 provision was mostly driven by a decrease
in delinquent loan inflows and a decline in the rate at which
delinquent loans ultimately transition to a loss event.

Derivative gains (losses) for the first quarter of 2011
was a loss of $0.4 billion, compared to a gain of
$1.6 billion for the fourth quarter of 2010. Derivatives
are used to reduce Freddie Macs exposure to interest-rate
risk but they generally increase the volatility of earnings
because fair value changes on the companys derivative
portfolio are included in earnings while fair value changes
associated with several of the types of assets and liabilities
being hedged are not. The change in derivative gains (losses)
reflects lower gains on the net pay-fixed swap portfolio,
partially offset by decreased losses on the net call swaption
portfolio, as long-term interest rates increased less during the
first quarter of 2011 than during the fourth quarter of 2010.
Net impairment of AFS securities recognized in earnings
for the first quarter of 2011 was $1.2 billion,
compared to $2.3 billion for the fourth quarter of 2010.
When Freddie Mac determines a decrease in the fair value of an
AFS security is other-than-temporary, the credit-related portion
of the impairment is recognized in earnings, while the
non-credit-related portion of the impairment is recorded in
AOCI. The decrease in net impairments for the first quarter of
2011 was primarily due to a smaller negative impact from
declining home prices and increasing interest rates in the first
quarter of 2011 as compared to the fourth quarter of 2010.
REO operations expense for the first quarter of 2011 was
$257 million, compared to $217 million for the fourth
quarter of 2010. REO operations expense primarily consists of
expenses incurred to
Freddie Mac First Quarter 2011 Financial Results
May 4, 2011

Page 6
maintain foreclosed properties, valuation adjustments on
properties, disposition gains or losses, and recoveries.
Change in AOCI, net of taxes was an improvement of
$2.1 billion for the first quarter of 2011, compared to an
improvement of $1.3 billion for the fourth quarter of 2010.
The larger improvement in the first quarter of 2011 reflects a
smaller unfavorable interest-rate impact on AFS securities as
long-term rates increased less in the first quarter of 2011 as
compared to the fourth quarter of 2010.
Supporting
the Nations Housing Market
Freddie Mac continues to support the nations housing
market by providing Americas families with access to
affordable homeownership and rental housing and helping
struggling borrowers avoid foreclosure.
Providing Liquidity - Freddie Mac remains a major and
consistent source of affordable mortgage funding
purchasing or guaranteeing one out of every four home loans. In
the first quarter, the company provided approximately
$105 billion in liquidity to the mortgage market, helping
to finance over 430,000 conforming single-family loans and
nearly 83,000 units of rental housing.
Responsible Lending - Freddie Mac continues to advance
responsible lending practices, creating sustainable
homeownership opportunities for Americas families and
lowering losses for the company and taxpayers. This effort
includes strengthening single-family underwriting standards,
eliminating purchases of many higher-risk, non-traditional
mortgages, educating borrowers about the new lending environment
and improving quality and consistency in the mortgage process.
Foreclosure Prevention - Through its own workout programs
and the Home Affordable Modification Program, Freddie Mac
continued its foreclosure prevention efforts, helping more than
62,000 struggling borrowers avoid foreclosure in the first
quarter of 2011. Importantly, 83 percent of these borrowers
were able to retain their homes.

Credit
Quality
The companys single-family credit guarantee portfolio
continues to experience significant credit losses, due in part
to the ongoing weakness in the U.S. economy. Since the
beginning of 2008, on an aggregate basis, the company has
recorded a provision for credit losses of $64.3 billion
associated with single-family loans and recorded an additional
$4.6 billion in losses on loans purchased from the
companys PCs, net of recoveries. The majority of these
losses are associated with loans originated in 2005 through 2008.
New Single-Family Books of Business - Freddie Mac
believes that the credit quality of the single-family loans the
company acquired in 2009, 2010 and 2011 (excluding those
associated with the companys relief refinance initiative)
is strong, as measured by original loan-to-value (LTV) ratios,
FICO scores, and income documentation standards.
At March 31, 2011, more than 40 percent of the
companys single-family credit guarantee portfolio
consisted of mortgage loans originated in 2009, 2010 and 2011.
The company currently expects that, over time, the replacement
of older vintages should positively impact the serious
delinquency rates and credit-related expenses (equal to the
provision for credit losses and REO operations expense) on its
single-family credit guarantee portfolio. However, the rate at
which this replacement occurs has slowed in recent quarterly
periods, due to a decline in the volume of home purchase
mortgage originations and an increase in the proportion of
relief refinance mortgage activity. The table below provides
certain credit quality data by year of origination for the
companys single-family credit guarantee portfolio.

Single-family serious delinquency rate for Freddie Mac
was 3.63 percent at March 31, 2011, compared to
3.84 percent at December 31, 2010. The total number of
single-family seriously delinquent loans declined during the
first quarter of 2011, but has remained high due to continued
weakness in home prices, persistently high unemployment,
extended foreclosure timelines, foreclosure suspensions in many
states, and challenges faced by servicers processing large
volumes of problem loans. By way of comparison, according to the
National Delinquency Survey compiled by the Mortgage Bankers
Association, the serious delinquency rate on first-lien
single-family loans in the U.S. mortgage market was
8.6 percent at December 31, 2010, which is the most
current data available.
Multifamily delinquency rate was 0.36 percent at
March 31, 2011, compared to 0.26 percent at
December 31, 2010. The largest percentage of the
companys multifamily delinquent loans, based on UPB, are
located in Georgia and Texas.
Net charge-offs were $3.0 billion in the first
quarter of 2011, or 0.62 percent (annualized), of the
average total mortgage portfolio, excluding non-Freddie Mac
securities, compared to $2.9 billion, or 0.61 percent
(annualized), in the fourth quarter of 2010. This slight
increase was primarily due to higher single-family REO
acquisitions during the first quarter of 2011. Freddie Mac
believes the level of its charge-offs will remain high in 2011
due to the large number of single-family non-performing loans
that will likely be resolved during the year.
Non-performing assets were $124.4 billion, or
6.4 percent of the total mortgage portfolio, excluding
non-Freddie Mac securities, at March 31, 2011, compared to
$125.4 billion, or 6.4 percent, at December 31,
2010. The amount of non-performing assets declined slightly
during the first quarter of 2011 primarily due to a decline in
the rate at which loans transitioned into serious delinquency.
Net Worth
and Treasury Draws
Net Worth and Current Quarter Draw - Freddie Macs
positive net worth of $1.2 billion at March 31, 2011
reflects total comprehensive income of $2.7 billion for the
first quarter of 2011 and the $500 million received from
Treasury to eliminate the net worth deficit for the fourth
quarter of 2010. This was partially offset by the
$1.6 billion quarterly dividend payment to Treasury on the
companys senior preferred stock.
Liquidation Preference and Dividends - The initial
aggregate liquidation preference of Freddie Macs senior
preferred stock was $1.0 billion, representing a portion of
the initial commitment fee to compensate Treasury for its
funding commitment. Based on cumulative draws of
$63.7 billion, the aggregate liquidation preference was
$64.7 billion as of March 31, 2011. Under the Purchase
Freddie Mac First Quarter 2011 Financial Results
May 4, 2011
Page 9
May 4, 2011
Page 9
Agreement, the companys ability to repay the liquidation
preference of the senior preferred stock is limited.
Treasury is entitled to receive cumulative quarterly cash
dividends at the annual rate of 10% per year on the liquidation
preference of the senior preferred stock. As of March 31,
2011, the companys annual cash dividends payable to
Treasury are $6.5 billion, which exceeds the companys
annual historical earnings in all but one period. To date, the
company has paid approximately $11.6 billion in cash
dividends to Treasury.
Commitment Fee The Purchase Agreement
requires the company to pay a quarterly commitment fee to
Treasury to compensate Treasury for the support provided by its
ongoing funding commitment. Under the Purchase Agreement,
Treasury may waive the quarterly commitment fee for up to one
year at a time in its sole discretion, based on adverse
conditions in the U.S. mortgage market. Treasury has waived
the quarterly commitment fee for the first and second quarters
of 2011 and will reevaluate whether the fee should be set in the
third quarter of 2011. The amount of the fee has not yet been
established and could be substantial. Absent Treasury waiving
the commitment fee for the third quarter of 2011, the quarterly
commitment fee will begin accruing on July 1, 2011 and must
be paid each quarter for as long as the Purchase Agreement is in
effect. Treasury has indicated that it remains committed to
protecting taxpayers and ensuring that future positive earnings
of the company are returned to taxpayers as compensation for
their investment.
Future Draws Freddie Mac expects to request
additional draws under the Purchase Agreement in future periods.
The size and timing of such draws will be determined by a
variety of factors that could adversely affect the
companys net worth, such as changes in home prices,
interest rates, mortgage security prices, spreads and other
factors. Over the long term, it is unlikely that the company
will regularly generate net income or comprehensive income in
excess of annual dividends payable to Treasury. As a result,
over time the companys dividend obligation to Treasury
will increasingly drive future draws. In addition, other factors
such as the quarterly commitment fees payable to Treasury could
also contribute to additional draws if the fees are not waived
by Treasury in future periods. See LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL
RESOURCES Capital Resources in the
companys Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q
for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 for further discussion
of factors that could affect future draws.
Portfolio
Balances
Single-family credit guarantee portfolio (measured based
on UPB) was $1.82 trillion at March 31, 2011, compared to
$1.81 trillion at December 31, 2010.
Freddie Mac First Quarter 2011 Financial Results
May 4, 2011
Page 10

Page 10
Mortgage-related investments portfolio (measured based on
UPB) was $692.0 billion at March 31, 2011, down from
$696.9 billion at December 31, 2010. The Federal
Housing Finance Agency (FHFA), as Conservator, has stated its
expectation that Freddie Mac will not be a substantial buyer or
seller of mortgage assets for its mortgage-related investments
portfolio, except for purchases of delinquent mortgages out of
PC trusts.
Multifamily mortgage portfolio (measured based on UPB)
was $109.8 billion at March 31, 2011, compared to
$108.7 billion at December 31, 2010.
Segment
Earnings and Comprehensive Income
Freddie Macs operations consist of three reportable
segments, which are based on the type of business activities
each performs Investments, Single-family Guarantee
and Multifamily.
The company evaluates segment performance and allocates
resources based on a Segment Earnings approach, subject to the
conduct of its business under the direction of the Conservator.
The accounting principles applied to present certain line items
in Segment Earnings for the companys reportable segments,
in particular Segment Earnings net interest income and
management and guarantee income, differ significantly from those
applied in preparing the comparable line items in its
consolidated financial statements in accordance with Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). Accordingly, Segment
Earnings line items and results differ significantly from, and
should not be used as a substitute for, the comparable line
items and results determined in accordance with GAAP.
Investments Segment Earnings was $2.1 billion for
the first quarter of 2011, compared to $2.7 billion for the
fourth quarter of 2010. The decrease in segment earnings was
primarily driven by lower derivative gains on the companys
net pay-fixed swap portfolio, partially offset by lower
impairments on non-agency AFS securities. Total comprehensive
income was $3.3 billion for the first quarter of 2011,
compared to $2.9 billion for the fourth quarter of 2010.
This increase was primarily driven by the improvement in AOCI
which more than offset lower earnings during the first quarter
of 2011.
Single-family Guarantee Segment Earnings (loss) was a
loss of $1.8 billion for the first quarter of 2011,
compared to a loss of $3.0 billion for the fourth quarter
of 2010. The decrease in segment loss was primarily driven by a
decrease in the provision for credit losses during the first
quarter of 2011. Total comprehensive income (loss) for the
Single-family Guarantee segment approximated Segment Earnings
(loss) for both the first quarter of 2011 and fourth quarter of
2010.
Freddie Mac First Quarter 2011 Financial Results

May 4, 2011
Page 11
Multifamily Segment Earnings was $359 million for
the first quarter of 2011, compared to $213 million for the
fourth quarter of 2010. The increase in segment earnings was
primarily due to fair value gains on the companys
held-for-sale mortgage loans and trading securities due to
spread tightening, partially offset by higher impairments
recognized on commercial mortgage-backed securities. Total
comprehensive income was $1.3 billion for the first quarter
of 2011, unchanged from the fourth quarter of 2010.
