Company Guidance

During the third quarter of 2025, Fannie Mae reported a net income of $3.9 billion, representing a 16% increase compared to the second quarter, but a 5% decrease year-on-year, largely influenced by changes in credit loss provisions. The company's guarantee book stood at $4.1 trillion, which contributed to stable guarantee fee revenues, leading to net revenues of $7.3 billion. Fannie Mae's net worth rose to $105.5 billion, and its illustrative return on required equity increased to 10.3%. The company provided $109 billion in liquidity to the mortgage market, aiding over 400,000 households, with around 207,000 being first-time homebuyers. The provision for credit losses and noninterest expenses saw reductions, which positively impacted net income, though these gains were partially offset by lower fair value gains. The average net interest margin remained stable at 66 basis points. Credit performance was stable, despite a slight increase in delinquencies within the multifamily sector. Cost management initiatives led to an 8% decrease in noninterest expenses from the prior quarter. The company continues to build its capital, with a regulatory capital deficit of $25.4 billion, needing $190 billion to meet total capital requirements. The single-family business accounted for 87% of the guarantee book and 83% of net revenues, showing strong results with reduced provision for credit losses and noninterest expenses. Multifamily net income increased by 33% from the previous quarter, driven by lower credit loss provisions and higher revenues. Overall, the quarter underscored the strength of Fannie Mae's earnings and its commitment to building regulatory capital and supporting the housing market.
