INTRODUCTION

Freddie Mac is a GSE chartered by Congress in 1970. Our public mission is to provide liquidity, stability, and affordability to the U.S. housing market. We do this primarily by purchasing residential mortgage loans originated by lenders. In most instances, we package these loans into mortgage-related securities, which are guaranteed by us and sold in the global capital markets. In addition, we transfer mortgage credit risk exposure to private investors through our credit risk transfer programs, which include securities- and insurance-based offerings. We also invest in mortgage loans and mortgage-related securities. We do not originate loans or lend money directly to mortgage borrowers.

We support the U.S. housing market and the overall economy by enabling America's families to access mortgage loan funding with better terms and by providing consistent liquidity to the multifamily mortgage market. We have helped many distressed borrowers keep their homes or avoid foreclosure. We are working with FHFA, our customers, and the industry to build a better housing finance system for the nation.

Business Results

Consolidated Financial Results⁽¹⁾


(1)	Net revenues consist of net interest income, guarantee fee income, and other income (loss).



Freddie Mac Form 10-Q		1



Management's Discussion and Analysis		Introduction

Comprehensive income for 3Q 2019 was $1.8 billion, demonstrating strong business performance in a challenging interest rate environment. Net revenues declined $0.8 billion, or 21%, from 3Q 2018 largely due to lower net interest income. Market-related losses were $0.3 billion in 3Q 2019, primarily due to the decline in long-term interest rates.

Our total equity, which is also our Net Worth Amount under the Purchase Agreement with Treasury, was $6.7 billion at September 30, 2019. On September 27, 2019, the Conservator, acting on our behalf, entered into a Letter Agreement with Treasury (the September 2019 Letter Agreement), increasing the applicable Capital Reserve Amount used in calculating our dividend requirement to Treasury from $3.0 billion to $20.0 billion. As a result of this increase in our Capital Reserve Amount, we were not required to pay a dividend on the senior preferred stock to Treasury on September 30, 2019 based on our Net Worth Amount of $4.8 billion as of June 30, 2019, and we will not have a dividend requirement to Treasury in December 2019 based on our Net Worth Amount of $6.7 billion as of September 30, 2019.

The September 2019 Letter Agreement also provides that the liquidation preference of the senior preferred stock will be increased, at the end of each fiscal quarter, beginning on September 30, 2019, by an amount equal to the increase in the Net Worth Amount, if any, during the immediately prior fiscal quarter, until the liquidation preference has increased by $17.0 billion. As a result, the liquidation preference of the senior preferred stock increased from $75.6 billion to $77.5 billion on September 30, 2019 based on the $1.8 billion increase in our Net Worth Amount during 2Q 2019, and will increase to $79.3 billion on December 31, 2019 based on the $1.8 billion increase in our Net Worth Amount during 3Q 2019. See Note 2 for more information about our Purchase Agreement with Treasury.

The amount of available funding remaining under the Purchase Agreement is $140.2 billion and will be reduced by any future draws.

Portfolio Balances

Guarantee Portfolio

Investments Portfolio

Total Guarantee Portfolio


n	Our total guarantee portfolio grew $120 billion, or 6%, from September 30, 2018 to September 30, 2019, driven by a 5% increase in our single-family credit guarantee portfolio and a 15% increase in our multifamily guarantee portfolio.


l	The growth in our single-family credit guarantee portfolio was primarily driven by an increase in U.S. single-family mortgage debt outstanding as a result of continued home price appreciation and our overall share of the single-family

mortgage market. New business acquisitions had a higher average loan size compared to older vintages that continued to run off.


l	The growth in our multifamily guarantee portfolio was primarily driven by strong loan purchase and securitization activity. Continued strong demand for multifamily financing and healthy multifamily market fundamentals resulted in continued growth in overall multifamily mortgage debt outstanding.

Total Investments Portfolio

Our total investments portfolio at September 30, 2019 was relatively unchanged compared to September 30, 2018, primarily due to an increase in our other investments portfolio driven by higher near-term cash needs for upcoming debt maturities and anticipated calls of other debt, partially offset by a reduction in the balance of our mortgage-related investments portfolio pursuant to the portfolio limits established by the Purchase Agreement and FHFA. In February 2019, FHFA directed us to maintain the mortgage-related investments portfolio at or below $225 billion at all times.

Conservatorship and Government Support for Our Business

Since September 2008, we have been operating in conservatorship, with FHFA as our Conservator. The conservatorship and related matters significantly affect our management, business activities, financial condition, and results of operations. Our future is uncertain, and the conservatorship has no specified termination date. We do not know what changes may occur to our business model during or following conservatorship, including whether we will continue to exist.

Our Purchase Agreement with Treasury and the terms of the senior preferred stock we issued to Treasury also affect our business activities and are critical to keeping us solvent and avoiding the appointment of a receiver by FHFA under statutory mandatory receivership provisions. We believe that the support provided by Treasury pursuant to the Purchase Agreement currently enables us to have adequate liquidity to conduct normal business activities.

Treasury, as the holder of the senior preferred stock, is entitled to receive cumulative quarterly cash dividends, when, as, and if declared by the Conservator, acting as successor to the rights, titles, powers, and privileges of our Board of Directors. The dividends we have paid to Treasury on the senior preferred stock have been declared by, and paid at the direction of, the Conservator.

Under the August 2012 amendment to the Purchase Agreement, our cash dividend requirement each quarter is the amount, if any, by which our Net Worth Amount at the end of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter, less the applicable Capital Reserve Amount, exceeds zero. Pursuant to the September 2019 Letter Agreement, the Capital Reserve Amount is $20.0 billion. If for any reason we were not to pay our dividend requirement on the senior preferred stock in full in any future period, the unpaid amount would be added to the liquidation preference and our applicable Capital Reserve Amount would thereafter be zero. This would not affect our ability to draw funds from Treasury under the Purchase Agreement.

Under the September 2019 Letter Agreement, Freddie Mac and Treasury agreed to negotiate and execute an amendment to the Purchase Agreement that further enhances taxpayer protections by adopting covenants broadly consistent with recommendations for administrative reform contained in the Treasury's September 2019 Housing Reform Plan. For more information regarding Treasury's Plan, see Regulation and Supervision - Legislative and Regulatory Developments - Treasury Housing Reform Plan.

Management's Discussion and Analysis		Market Conditions and Economic Indicators

MARKET CONDITIONS AND ECONOMIC INDICATORS

The following graphs and related discussions present certain market and macroeconomic indicators that can significantly affect our business and financial results.

Interest Rates⁽¹⁾

(1) 30-year PMMS interest rates are as of the last week in each quarter.

Unemployment Rate

Source: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.


n	The 30-year Primary Mortgage Market Survey (PMMS) interest rate is indicative of what a consumer could expect to be offered on a first-lien prime conventional conforming home purchase mortgage with an LTV of 80%. Increases (decreases) in the PMMS rate typically result in decreases (increases) in refinancing activity and originations.

Changes in the 10-year and 2-year LIBOR interest rates can significantly affect the fair value of our debt, derivatives, and mortgage and non-mortgage-related securities. In addition, the GAAP accounting treatment for our financial assets and liabilities, including derivatives (i.e., some are measured at amortized cost, while others are measured at fair value) creates variability in our GAAP earnings when interest rates change. We have elected hedge accounting for certain assets and liabilities in an effort to reduce GAAP earnings variability and better align GAAP results with the economics of our business.


n	Changes in the 3-month LIBOR rate affect the interest earned on our short-term investments and interest expense on our short-term funding.


n	Long-term rates continued their recent downward trend, resulting in further inversion of the yield curve. The 10-year LIBOR rate decreased 39 and 115 basis points during 3Q 2019 and YTD 2019, respectively.


n	Changes in the national unemployment rate can affect several market factors, including the demand for both single-family and multifamily housing and the level of loan delinquencies.


n	Continued job growth, a declining unemployment rate, and generally favorable economic conditions resulted in strong credit performance.

U.S. Single-Family Home Prices

Source: Freddie Mac House Price Index.

U.S. Single-Family Originations

Source: Inside Mortgage Finance dated October 25, 2019 (latest available IMF purchase/refinance information).


n	Changes in home prices affect the amount of equity that borrowers have in their homes. As home prices decline, the severity of losses we incur on defaulted loans that we hold or guarantee increases because the amount we can recover from the property securing the loan decreases.


n	Single-family home prices decreased 0.1% during 3Q 2019, compared to an increase of 0.3% during 3Q 2018. We expect home price growth will continue for full-year 2019, but grow at a slower pace than in full-year 2018.


n	U.S. single-family loan origination volume increased to $700 billion in 3Q 2019 from $435 billion in 3Q 2018, driven by higher refinance volume as a result of lower average mortgage interest rates in 3Q 2019.


n	We expect U.S. single-family home purchase volume to increase in 2019 as a result of market response to lower interest rates. Freddie Mac's single-family loan purchase volumes typically follow a similar trend.

Net interest income		$2,410			$3,257			($847	)	(26	)%		$8,490			$9,278			($788	)	(8	)%

Key Drivers:


n	Guarantee portfolio contractual net interest income


l	3Q 2019 vs. 3Q 2018 and YTD 2019 vs. YTD 2018 - Increased primarily due to the continued growth of the core single-family loan portfolio.


n	Guarantee portfolio amortization


l	3Q 2019 vs. 3Q 2018 and YTD 2019 vs. YTD 2018 - Decreased primarily due to the timing differences in amortization related to prepayments between debt of consolidated trusts and the underlying mortgage loans. For further discussion on timing differences in amortization, see MD&A - Consolidated Results of Operations in our 2018 Annual Report.


n	Investments portfolio contractual net interest income

3Q 2019 vs. 3Q 2018 and YTD 2019 vs. YTD 2018 - Decreased primarily due to the reduction in the balance of our mortgage-related investments portfolio pursuant to the portfolio limits established by the Purchase Agreement and FHFA. See Conservatorship and Related Matters - Managing Our Mortgage-Related Investments Portfolio for a discussion of the key drivers of the decline in our mortgage-related investments portfolio.


n	Investments portfolio amortization


l	YTD 2019 vs. YTD 2018 - Decreased primarily due to lower accretion income related to previously recognized other-than-temporary impairments as a result of a decline in the population of impaired securities.


n	Hedge accounting impact

3Q 2019 vs. 3Q 2018 and YTD 2019 vs. YTD 2018 - Decreased in 3Q 2019 primarily due to amortization of previously deferred fair value hedge accounting losses and a negative earnings mismatch related to fair value hedge accounting. Increased in YTD 2019 primarily due to a positive earnings mismatch and lower expense related to accruals of periodic cash settlements on derivatives in hedging relationships, partially offset by amortization of hedge-related basis adjustments. The earnings mismatch is the amount by which the gain or loss on the designated derivative instrument does not exactly offset the gain or loss on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk.

n	3Q 2019 vs. 3Q 2018 and YTD 2019 vs. YTD 2018 - Increased due to fair value gains on multifamily held-for-sale mortgage loans and commitments driven by decreasing long-term interest rates, coupled with higher gains on sales of single-family seasoned loans.

Investment Securities Gains (Losses)


n	3Q 2019 vs. 3Q 2018 and YTD 2019 vs. YTD 2018 - Shifted to gains in the 2019 periods from losses in the 2018 periods primarily due to gains on trading securities driven by decreasing long-term interest rates.

3Q 2019 vs. 3Q 2018 and YTD 2019 vs. YTD 2018 - Decreased as long-term interest rates declined. The decline in interest rates resulted in fair value losses on pay-fixed interest rate swaps, forward commitments to issue debt securities of consolidated trusts, and futures, which were partially offset by fair value gains on receive-fixed swaps and certain option-based derivatives. Additionally, our derivative volume increased beginning in 2Q 2019 as we updated our interest-rate risk

measures to include upfront fees (including buy-downs) related to single-family credit guarantee activity. This update introduced additional volatility which resulted in increased losses, partially offset by the effects of hedge accounting.

Benefit (Provision) for Credit Losses

Key Drivers:

As of September 30, 2019 compared to December 31, 2018:


n	Cash and cash equivalents and securities purchased under agreements to resell increased on a combined basis primarily due to higher near-term cash needs for upcoming debt maturities and anticipated calls of other debt.

n Other assets increased primarily due to higher servicer receivables driven by an increase in mortgage loan payoffs reported but not yet remitted at the end of 3Q 2019 and a change in our servicing cycle in 2Q 2019 related to the implementation of Release 2 of the CSP and the Single Security Initiative.

n Total equity increased primarily as a result of our ability to retain 3Q 2019 earnings as a result of an increase in the applicable Capital Reserve Amount from $3.0 billion to $20.0 billion pursuant to the September 2019 Letter Agreement.

Management's Discussion and Analysis		Our Business Segments \| Segment Earnings

OUR BUSINESS SEGMENTS

We have three reportable segments, which are based on the way we manage our business.


n	Single-Family Guarantee - Reflects results from our purchase, securitization, and guarantee of single-family loans and the management of single-family mortgage credit risk.


n	Multifamily - Reflects results from our purchase, sale, securitization, and guarantee of multifamily loans and securities, our investments in those loans and securities, and the management of multifamily mortgage credit risk and market spread risk.


n	Capital Markets - Reflects results from managing our mortgage-related investments portfolio (excluding Multifamily segment investments, single-family seriously delinquent loans, and the credit risk of single-family performing and reperforming loans), single-family securitization activities, and treasury function, which includes interest-rate risk management for the company.

Certain activities that are not part of a reportable segment, such as material corporate-level activities that are infrequent in nature and based on decisions outside the control of the management of our reportable segments, are included in the All Other category.

Segment Earnings

We present Segment Earnings by reclassifying certain credit guarantee-related activities and investment-related activities between various line items on our GAAP condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income and allocating certain revenues and expenses to our three reportable segments. For more information on our segment reclassifications, see Note 13.

Management's Discussion and Analysis	Our Business Segments \| Single-Family Guarantee

Single-Family Credit Guarantee Portfolio

The single-family credit guarantee portfolio increased at an annualized rate of approximately 5% between December 31, 2018 and September 30, 2019 driven by an increase in U.S. single-family mortgage debt outstanding as a result of continued home price appreciation and our overall share of the single-family mortgage market. New business acquisitions had a higher average loan size compared to older vintages that continued to run off.


n	The core single-family loan portfolio grew to 84% of the single-family credit guarantee portfolio at September 30, 2019, compared to 82% at December 31, 2018.


n	The legacy and relief refinance single-family loan portfolio declined to 16% of the single-family credit guarantee portfolio at September 30, 2019, compared to 18% at December 31, 2018.

Guarantee Fees

We receive fees for guaranteeing the payment of principal and interest to investors in our mortgage-related securities. These fees consist primarily of a combination of base contractual guarantee fees paid on a monthly basis and initial upfront payments. The average portfolio Segment Earnings guarantee fee rate recognizes upfront fee income over the contractual life of the related loans (usually 30 years). If the related loans prepay, the remaining upfront fee income is recognized immediately. In contrast, the average guarantee fee rate charged on new acquisitions recognizes upfront fee income over the estimated life of the related loans using our expectations of prepayments and other liquidations. See MD&A - Our Business Segments - Single-Family Guarantee - Business Overview - Guarantee Fees in our 2018 Annual Report for more information on our guarantee fees.

n	3Q 2019 vs. 3Q 2018 and YTD 2019 vs. YTD 2018 - The average portfolio Segment Earnings guarantee fee rate increased due to an increase in the recognition of upfront fees primarily driven by a higher prepayment rate and an increase in average contractual guarantee fees caused by the run off of older vintages with lower contractual guarantee fees.

Alt-A and Subprime Loans

While we have referred to certain loans as subprime or Alt-A for purposes of the discussion below and elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, there is no universally accepted definition of subprime or Alt-A, and the classification of such loans may differ from company to company. We do not rely on these loan classifications to evaluate the credit risk exposure relating to such loans in our single-family credit guarantee portfolio.

Participants in the mortgage market have characterized single-family loans based upon their overall credit quality at the time of origination, including as prime or subprime. While we have not historically characterized the loans in our single-family credit guarantee portfolio as either prime or subprime, we monitor the amount of loans we have guaranteed with characteristics that indicate a higher degree of credit risk. In addition, we estimate that approximately $0.8 billion and $0.9 billion of security collateral underlying our other securitization products at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, were identified as subprime based on information provided to us when we entered into these transactions.

Mortgage market participants have classified single-family loans as Alt-A if these loans have credit characteristics that range between the prime and subprime categories, if they are underwritten with lower or alternative income or asset documentation requirements compared to a full documentation loan, or both. Although we have discontinued new purchases of loans with lower documentation standards, we continue to purchase certain amounts of such loans in cases where the loan was either purchased pursuant to a previously issued guarantee, as part of our relief refinance initiative, or as part of another refinance loan initiative and the pre-existing loan was originated under less than full documentation standards. In the event we purchase a refinance loan and the original loan had been previously identified as Alt-A, such refinance loan may no longer be categorized or reported as an Alt-A loan in this Form 10-Q and our other financial reports because the new refinance loan replacing the original loan would not be identified by the seller/servicer as an Alt-A loan. As a result, our reported Alt-A balances may be lower than would otherwise be the case had such refinancing not occurred. From the time the relief refinance initiative began in 2009 to September 30, 2019, we have purchased approximately $36.4 billion of relief refinance loans that were previously categorized as Alt-A loans in our portfolio.

The UPB of Alt-A loans in our single-family credit guarantee portfolio is continuing to decline due to borrowers refinancing into other mortgage products, foreclosure sales, and other liquidation events.

Single-Family Loan Performance

Serious Delinquency Rates

Percentage of Single-Family Loans One Month and Two Months Past Due


n	The total serious delinquency rate on our single-family credit guarantee portfolio was 0.61% as of September 30, 2019. However, 37% of the seriously delinquent loans at September 30, 2019 were covered by credit enhancements designed to reduce our credit risk exposure. See Note 4 for additional information on our single-family delinquency rates.

Our total single-family serious delinquency rate was lower as of September 30, 2019 compared to September 30, 2018 due to our continued loss mitigation efforts, sales of certain seriously delinquent loans, home price appreciation, a low unemployment rate, and the reduced impacts from the hurricanes in the third quarter of 2017. This improvement was also driven by the continued shift in the single-family credit guarantee portfolio mix, as the legacy and relief refinance single-family loan portfolio runs off and we add higher credit quality loans to our core single-family loan portfolio.

The percentage of single-family loans one month past due can be volatile due to servicer reporting methodologies, seasonality, and other factors that may not be predictive of default. As a result, the percentage of loans two months past due tends to be a better early performance indicator than the percentage of loans one month past due. The percentage of loans two months past due was relatively flat from September 30, 2018 to September 30, 2019.

n	We expect our allowance for loan losses associated with existing single-family TDRs to decline over time as we continue to sell reperforming loans. In addition, the allowance for loan losses will decline as borrowers continue to make monthly payments under the modified terms and interest rate concessions are amortized into earnings.

l	Higher guarantee fee income due to increased upfront fee amortization income driven by higher prepayments and continued growth in our single-family credit guarantee portfolio.


l	Higher other non-interest income during YTD 2019 compared to YTD 2018 primarily due to higher gains on sales of single-family held-for-sale loans. Other non-interest income remained relatively flat during 3Q 2019 compared to 3Q 2018.


l	Higher other non-interest expense primarily due to higher outstanding cumulative volumes of CRT transactions that resulted in increased CRT expense (interest expense on STACR debt notes and premium expense for ACIS and STACR Trust contracts).

New Business Activity

Multifamily New Business Activity

(UPB in billions)

The 2019 Conservatorship Scorecard annual production cap remained at $35.0 billion through the end of 3Q 2019. On September 13, 2019, FHFA announced a revised loan purchase cap structure for the multifamily business. The loan purchase cap will be $100.0 billion for the five-quarter period from the fourth quarter of 2019 through the fourth quarter of 2020. The new cap applies to all multifamily business, with no exclusions. To ensure a strong focus on affordable housing and traditionally underserved markets, FHFA directed that at least 37.5% of the new multifamily business be mission-driven, affordable housing. Loans that finance energy or water efficiency will be considered conventional business (i.e., they will not count towards the 37.5% requirement), unless they meet other mission-driven requirements.


n	Outstanding commitments, including index lock commitments and commitments to purchase or guarantee multifamily assets, were $16.3 billion and $24.3 billion as of September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018, respectively. Both period-end balances include loan purchase commitments for which we have elected the fair value option.


n	The combination of our new business activity and outstanding commitments was higher during 3Q 2019 and YTD 2019 compared to 3Q 2018 and YTD 2018 due to continued strong demand for multifamily financing and healthy multifamily market fundamentals resulting in continued growth in overall multifamily mortgage debt outstanding. While our new



Freddie Mac Form 10-Q		26



Management's Discussion and Analysis		Our Business Segments \| Multifamily

business activity was higher during 3Q 2019 and YTD 2019, we expect new business activity for full-year 2019 to be similar to full-year 2018.


n	Excluding our LIHTC new business activity, approximately 36% and 40% of our new business activity in 3Q 2019 and YTD 2019, respectively, counted towards the 2019 Conservatorship Scorecard production cap, while the remaining 64% and 60% was considered uncapped.

The portion of our new loan purchase activity that was classified as held-for-sale and intended for our securitization pipeline decreased from 95% in 3Q 2018 to 84% in 3Q 2019 due to an increase in the issuance of other risk transfer securitizations, specifically our PC executions collateralized by held-for-investment loans. The purchase activity in 3Q 2019, combined with market demand for our securities, will be a driver for securitizations during the fourth quarter of 2019 and the first quarter of 2020.

n	Our total multifamily portfolio increased during YTD 2019, primarily due to our strong loan purchase and securitization activity. We expect continued growth in our total portfolio as purchase and securitization activities should outpace run off.


n	At September 30, 2019, approximately 77% of our held-for-sale loans and held-for-sale loan commitments were fixed-rate, while the remaining 23% were floating-rate.

(Weighted average balance in billions)


n	3Q 2019 vs. 3Q 2018 and YTD 2019 vs. YTD 2018


l	Net interest yield increased during 3Q 2019 due to lower funding costs on our held-for-sale mortgage loans driven by lower interest rates, coupled with a higher yield on interest-only securities. Net interest yield remained relatively flat during YTD 2019 compared to YTD 2018.


l	The weighted average portfolio balance of interest-earning assets decreased during 3Q 2019 and YTD 2019 due to the run-off of our held-for-investment loans, partially offset by an increase in held-for-sale loans.

K Certificate Benchmark Spreads

The valuation of our securitization pipeline and the profitability of our primary risk transfer securitization product, the K Certificate, are affected by both changes in K Certificate benchmark spreads and deal-specific attributes, such as tranche size, risk distribution, and collateral characteristics (loan term, coupon type, prepayment restrictions, and underlying property type). These market spread movements and deal-specific attributes contribute to our earnings volatility, which we manage by controlling the size of our securitization pipeline and by entering into certain spread-related derivatives. Spread tightening generally results in fair value gains, while spread widening generally results in fair value losses.


n	K Certificate benchmark spreads generally widened during 3Q 2019 and 3Q 2018, primarily resulting in fair value losses on our held-for-sale mortgage loans and commitments.

Credit Risk Transfer Activity⁽¹⁾

(UPB in billions)

(1) The amounts disclosed in the graph above represent the net credit risk transferred to third parties.


n	3Q 2019 vs. 3Q 2018 and YTD 2019 vs. YTD 2018 - The UPB of our primary risk transfer securitization transactions increased due to a higher average balance in our securitization pipeline, which was driven by strong new loan purchase activity during the first half of 2019.


n	As of September 30, 2019, we had cumulatively transferred a large majority of credit risk on the multifamily guarantee portfolio.


l	Conservatorship capital needed for credit risk was reduced by approximately 90% through CRT transactions on new business activity in the twelve months ended September 30, 2018; we plan similar risk reduction transactions for this year's new business activity.

The reduction in the amount of conservatorship capital needed for credit risk on new business activity is calculated as conservatorship credit capital released from CRT transactions (primarily through K Certificates and SB Certificates) divided by total conservatorship credit capital on new business activity. For more information on the CCF and the calculation of conservatorship capital, see Liquidity and Capital Resources - Capital Resources - Conservatorship Capital Framework - Return on Conservatorship Capital.


n	In addition to transferring a large majority of credit risk, nearly all of our risk transfer securitization activities also shifted substantially all of the interest-rate and liquidity risk associated with the underlying collateral away from Freddie Mac to third-party investors.

(In billions)

Remaining Unearned Guarantee Fees

(In billions)

We earn guarantee fees in exchange for providing our guarantee of some or all of the securities we issue as part of our risk transfer securitization activities. Each time we enter into a financial guarantee contract, we initially recognize an unearned guarantee fee asset on our balance sheet, which represents the present value of future guarantee fees we expect to receive in cash. We recognize these fees in Segment Earnings over the remaining average guarantee term, which was eight years as of September 30, 2019. While we expect to collect these future fees based on historical performance, the actual amount collected will depend on the credit and prepayment performance of the underlying collateral subject to our financial guarantee.


n	3Q 2019 vs. 3Q 2018 and YTD 2019 vs. YTD 2018 - New unearned guarantee fee assets increased primarily due to an increase in guaranteed UPB issued by our securitizations.


n	The balance of unearned guarantee fees increased during YTD 2019 due to the continued growth of our multifamily guarantee business, as our risk transfer securitization volume continued to be strong, outpacing run off.

l	Net interest income remained relatively flat.


l	Increase in guarantee fee income driven by continued growth in our multifamily guarantee portfolio.

Increase in fair value gains during 3Q 2019, primarily driven by fair value gains on held-for-sale commitments due to targeted price increases related to changing market conditions. During YTD 2019, fair value gains decreased primarily driven by spread-related fair value losses due to spread widening on certain available-for-sale securities (which are recorded in other comprehensive income), partially offset by fair value gains on held-for-sale commitments due to targeted price increases related to changing market conditions.


l	Increase in other non-interest income primarily driven by lower losses on the fair value of the recognized unearned guarantee fee assets in the 2019 periods due to declining interest rates.

n	The balance of our other investments portfolio increased by 39.9%, primarily due to higher near-term cash needs as of September 30, 2019 compared to December 31, 2018 for upcoming debt maturities and anticipated calls of other debt.

The overall liquidity of our mortgage investments portfolio continued to improve as our less liquid assets decreased during 3Q 2019. The percentage of less liquid assets relative to our total mortgage investments portfolio declined from 26.6% at December 31, 2018 to 20.0% at September 30, 2019, primarily due to repayments, sales, and securitizations. We continued to actively reduce our holdings of less liquid assets during 3Q 2019 by selling $3.5 billion of reperforming loans. Our sales of reperforming loans involved securitization of the loans using senior subordinate securitization structures.


n	We continue to participate in transactions that support the development of SOFR as an alternative rate to LIBOR. These transactions include investment in and issuance of SOFR indexed floating-rate debt securities and execution of SOFR indexed derivatives.

Key Business Drivers:


n	3Q 2019 vs. 3Q 2018 and YTD 2019 vs. YTD 2018


l	Net interest income decreased primarily due to an increase in amortization expense resulting from higher loan liquidation rates, coupled with a change in our investment mix as the other investments portfolio represents a larger percentage of our total investments portfolio and a flattening of the yield curve.

Increase in interest rate-related fair value losses as long-term interest rates decreased during the 2019 periods, resulting in fair value gains on many of our investments in securities (some of which are recorded in other comprehensive income) and fair value losses on derivatives. The net amount of these changes in fair value was mostly offset by the change in the fair value of the hedged items attributable to interest-rate risk in our hedge accounting programs. Additionally, our derivative volume, which economically hedges certain financial instruments not recorded at fair value, increased beginning in 2Q 2019 as we updated our interest-rate risk measures to include upfront fees (including buy-downs) related to single-family credit guarantee activity recorded in the single-family segment. This update introduced additional volatility which resulted in increased losses, partially offset by the effects of hedge accounting.


l	Decrease in debt gains (losses) primarily due to losses from the extinguishment of fixed-rate debt securities of consolidated trusts, as long-term interest rates declined between the time of issuance and repurchase.

l Decrease in non-interest income primarily due to lower net amortization income driven by the timing differences in amortization related to prepayment between debt of consolidated trusts and the underlying mortgage loans, combined with the effects of an earnings mismatch related to fair value hedge accounting. For further discussion on timing differences in amortization, see MD&A - Consolidated Results of Operations in our 2018 Annual Report.

RISK MANAGEMENT

Risk is an inherent part of our business activities. We are exposed to the following key types of risk: credit risk, operational risk, market risk, liquidity risk, strategic risk, and reputation risk.

For more discussion of these and other risks facing our business and our enterprise risk framework, see MD&A - Risk Management in our 2018 Annual Report, Risk Factors in our 2018 Annual Report and our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2019, and Liquidity and Capital Resources in this Form 10-Q and our 2018 Annual Report. See below for updates since our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2019.

Market Risk

Overview

Our business segments have embedded exposure to market risk, which is the economic risk associated with adverse changes in interest rates, volatility, and spreads. Interest-rate risk is consolidated and primarily managed by the Capital Markets segment, while spread risk is owned by each individual business segment. Market risk can adversely affect future cash flows, or economic value, as well as earnings and net worth.

The majority of our interest-rate risk comes from our investments in mortgage-related assets (securities and loans), the debt we issue to fund our assets, and upfront fees (including buy-downs) related to our single-family credit guarantee activity. Our primary goal in managing interest-rate risk is to reduce the amount of change in the value of our future cash flows due to future changes in interest rates. We use models to analyze possible future interest-rate scenarios, along with the cash flows of our assets and liabilities over those scenarios.

Interest-Rate Risk

Our primary interest-rate risk measures are duration gap and Portfolio Value Sensitivity (PVS). Duration gap measures the difference in price sensitivity to interest rate changes between our financial assets and liabilities and is expressed in months relative to the value of assets. PVS is our estimate of the change in the value of our financial assets and liabilities from an instantaneous shock to interest rates, assuming spreads are held constant and no rebalancing actions are undertaken. PVS is measured in two ways, one measuring the estimated sensitivity of our portfolio value to a 50 basis point parallel movement in interest rates (PVS-L) and the other to a non-parallel movement resulting from a 25 basis point change in slope of the LIBOR yield curve (PVS-YC). While we believe that duration gap and PVS are useful risk management tools, they should be understood as estimates rather than as precise measurements.

The following tables provide our duration gap, estimated point-in-time and minimum and maximum PVS-L and PVS-YC results, and an average of the daily values and standard deviation. The tables below also provide PVS-L estimates assuming an immediate 100 basis point shift in the LIBOR yield curve. The interest-rate sensitivity of a mortgage portfolio varies across a wide range of interest rates.

We began to include upfront fees (including buy-downs) in our interest-rate metrics in 2Q 2019. Including upfront fees and related derivative activities significantly increased the Derivatives PVS-L and PVS-YC results for September 30, 2019 in the table below, with an offsetting impact in the Guarantees PVS-L and PVS-YC results.

The categorization of the PVS impact between assets, liabilities, and derivatives on this table is based upon the economic characteristics of those assets and liabilities, not their accounting classification. For example, purchase and sale commitments of mortgage-related securities and debt securities of consolidated trusts held by the mortgage-related investments portfolio are both categorized as assets on this table.

Derivatives enable us to reduce our economic interest-rate risk exposure as we continue to align our derivative portfolio with the changing duration of our economically hedged assets and liabilities. The table below shows that the PVS-L risk levels, assuming a 50 basis point shift in the LIBOR yield curve for the periods presented, would have been higher if we had not used derivatives.

Table 23 - PVS-L Results Before Derivatives and After Derivatives



	PVS-L (50 bps)
(In millions)	Before Derivatives		After Derivatives		Effect of Derivatives
September 30, 2019		$3,482		$90		($3,392	)
December 31, 2018	3,478		32		(3,446		)

In April 2019, we updated our interest-rate risk measures and began incorporating upfront fees (including buy-downs) related to single-family credit guarantee activity into our asset and liability interest-rate risk management strategy and definition. As a result, the PVS-L before derivatives is significantly higher as of September 30, 2019 than it would have been if we had not updated our interest-rate risk management strategy and definition to include upfront fees.

The inclusion of upfront fees increased the volume of derivatives we used to hedge interest-rate risk, and this higher volume of derivatives, coupled with the volatility of market interest rates during the period, created variability in our PVS-L during 3Q 2019. The table below shows the average, minimum, and maximum PVS-L before derivatives and after derivatives during 3Q 2019.

Management's Discussion and Analysis		Risk Management

GAAP Earnings Variability

The GAAP accounting treatment for our financial assets and liabilities (i.e., some are measured at amortized cost, while others are measured at fair value) creates variability in our GAAP earnings when interest rates and spreads change. This variability of GAAP earnings, which may not reflect the economics of our business, increases the risk of our having a negative net worth and thus being required to draw from Treasury. Although we manage our business on an economic basis, we may execute certain transactions on a non-economic basis in an effort to manage our spread and interest-rate risks.

Interest-Rate Volatility

While we manage our interest-rate risk exposure on an economic basis to a low level as measured by our models, our GAAP financial results are still subject to significant earnings variability from period to period. Based upon the composition of our financial assets and liabilities, including derivatives, at September 30, 2019, we generally recognize fair value losses in GAAP earnings when interest rates decline.

In an effort to reduce our GAAP earnings variability and better align our GAAP results with the economics of our business, we elect hedge accounting for certain single-family mortgage loans and certain debt instruments. Beginning in September 2019, we implemented a new fair value hedge accounting strategy using single-family mortgage loans that applies certain hedge accounting elections allowable under amended hedge accounting guidance we adopted during 4Q 2017. See Note 9 for additional information on hedge accounting.

GAAP Adverse Scenario

We evaluate the potential benefits of fair value hedge accounting by evaluating a range of interest rate scenarios and identifying which of those scenarios produces the most adverse GAAP earnings outcome. The interest rate scenarios evaluated include parallel shifts in the yield curve of plus and minus 100 basis points, non-parallel yield curve shifts in which long-term interest rates increase or decrease by 100 basis points, and non-parallel yield curve shifts in which short-term and medium-term interest rates increase or decrease by 100 basis points.

n At September 30, 2019, the GAAP adverse scenario before fair value hedge accounting was a parallel shift in which rates decrease by 100 basis points, while the adverse scenario after fair value hedge accounting was a non-parallel shift in which long-term rates decrease by 100 basis points.

n At September 30, 2018, the GAAP adverse scenario before and after fair value hedge accounting was a non-parallel shift in which long-term rates decrease by 100 basis points.

The results of this evaluation are shown in the table below.

Table 25 - GAAP Adverse Scenario Before and After Hedge Accounting



	GAAP Adverse Scenario (Before-Tax)
(Dollars in billions)	Before Hedge Accounting			After Hedge Accounting			% Change
September 30, 2019		($3.5	)		($0.1	)	97	%
September 30, 2018	(3.3		)	(0.5		)	85

The additional volume of derivatives from updating our interest-rate risk measures to include upfront fees (including buy-downs) related to single-family credit guarantee activity, and the volatility in market interest rates in 3Q 2019 created variability in our GAAP adverse scenarios during 3Q 2019. While the September 30, 2019 GAAP adverse scenario shows a 97% reduction after hedge accounting, this result includes the effect of the new hedge accounting strategy implemented in September 2019, which was not in effect for the entire quarter. As a result, the average GAAP adverse scenario after hedge accounting was higher during 3Q 2019 than it was as of September 30, 2019. With the implementation of the new hedge accounting strategy in September 2019, we expect the GAAP adverse scenario after hedge accounting in future periods to be similar to the result as of September 30, 2019.

The table below shows the average, minimum, and maximum GAAP adverse scenario before hedge accounting and after hedge accounting during 3Q 2019.

Table 26 - GAAP Adverse Scenario Average, Minimum, and Maximum

Average		($4.0	)		($0.7	)
Minimum	(3.2		)	(0.1		)
Maximum	(5.2		)	(1.8		)

Hedge accounting is designed to reduce the impact to GAAP earnings in the adverse scenario described above. However, the after hedge accounting impact may not always result in an improvement over the before hedge accounting impact. For example, there are certain interest-rate scenarios in which the after hedge accounting impact would result in a lower gain or a larger loss than the before hedge accounting impact.

Net Interest Rate Effect on Comprehensive Income (Loss)

The table below presents the effect of derivatives used in our interest-rate risk management activities on our comprehensive income (loss), net of tax, after considering any offsetting interest rate effects related to financial instruments measured at fair value and the effects of fair value hedge accounting.

(1)	Includes the interest-rate effect on our trading securities, available-for-sale securities, mortgage loans held-for-sale, and other assets and debt for which we elected the fair value option, which is reflected in non-interest income (loss) and total other comprehensive income (loss) on our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

The effect from the change in interest rates on derivative fair values is mostly offset by the effect from the change in interest rates related to financial instruments measured at fair value and gains and losses on mortgage loans and debt in fair value hedging relationships. However, the estimated net interest rate effect on comprehensive income (loss) in 3Q 2019 was higher than in prior periods as a result of the additional volume of derivatives and volatility in market interest rates during 3Q 2019. The remaining net interest-rate effect on comprehensive income is largely attributable to the following:

n The reversal of previously recognized derivative gains and losses,

n The implied net cost on instruments such as swaptions, futures, and forward purchase and sale commitments from our hedging and interest-rate risk management activities, which are recognized in GAAP earnings over time as a component of derivative gains and losses as the instruments approach maturity, and

n The amortization of previously deferred hedge accounting gains and losses, which we recognized in interest income over the contractual life of the hedged item.

Spread Volatility

We have limited ability to manage our spread risk exposure in a cost beneficial manner, and therefore the volatility of market spreads may contribute to significant GAAP earnings variability. For financial assets measured at fair value, we generally recognize fair value losses when market spreads widen. Conversely, for financial liabilities measured at fair value, we generally recognize fair value gains when market spreads widen. The table below shows the estimated effect of spreads on our comprehensive income (loss), after tax, by segment.

Mortgage Loans and Mortgage-Related Securities

We invest principally in mortgage loans and mortgage-related securities, certain categories of which are largely unencumbered and liquid. Our primary source of liquidity among these mortgage assets is our holdings of single-class and multiclass agency securities, excluding certain structured agency securities collateralized by non-agency mortgage-related securities. Our ability to pledge certain of these assets as collateral or sell them enhances our liquidity profile, although the amount of cash we may be able to successfully raise in the event of a liquidity crisis or significant market disruption may be substantially less than the amount of mortgage-related assets we hold. See Conservatorship and Related Matters for additional details on the liquidity of our mortgage-related investments portfolio.

This type of debt is principally repaid by the cash flows of the associated mortgage loans. As a result, our repayment obligation is limited to amounts paid pursuant to our guarantee of principal and interest and purchasing modified or seriously delinquent loans from the trusts.

Other Debt Activities

We issue other debt to fund our business activities. Competition for funding can vary with economic, financial market, and regulatory environments. We issue other debt based on a variety of factors, including market conditions and our liquidity requirements. We currently favor a mix of derivatives and shorter-term and callable debt to fund our business and manage interest-rate risk. Generally, this funding mix is a less expensive method than relying more extensively on long-term debt.

The table below summarizes the par value and the average rate of other debt securities we issued or paid off, including regularly scheduled principal payments, payments resulting from calls, and payments for repurchases. We call, exchange, or repurchase our outstanding debt securities from time to time for a variety of reasons, including managing our funding composition and supporting the liquidity of our debt securities.

Debt Securities of Consolidated Trusts

The largest component of debt on our condensed consolidated balance sheets is debt securities of consolidated trusts, which relates to securitization transactions that we consolidated for accounting purposes. We issue this type of debt by securitizing mortgage loans primarily to fund the majority of our single-family guarantee activities. When we consolidate securitization trusts, we recognize the following on our condensed consolidated balance sheets:


n	The assets held by the securitization trusts, the majority of which are mortgage loans. We recognized $1,905.6 billion and $1,842.9 billion of mortgage loans, which represented 87.8% and 89.3% of our total assets, as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

The debt securities issued by the securitization trusts, the majority of which are Level 1 securitizations that are pass-through securities, where the cash flows of the mortgage loans held by the securitization trust are passed through to the holders of the securities. We recognized $1,869.3 billion and $1,792.7 billion of debt securities of consolidated trusts, which represented 87.0% and 87.7% of our total debt, as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

Debt securities of consolidated trusts are principally repaid from the cash flows of the mortgage loans held by the securitization trusts that issued the debt securities. In circumstances when the cash flows of the mortgage loans are not sufficient to repay the debt, we make up the shortfall because we have guaranteed the payment of principal and interest on the debt. In certain circumstances, we have the right and/or obligation to purchase the loan from the trust prior to its contractual maturity.

Cash Flows

Cash and cash equivalents (including restricted cash and cash equivalents) increased by $1.7 billion from September 30, 2018 to September 30, 2019, primarily driven by an increase in proceeds from the issuance of debt for upcoming maturities and anticipated calls of other debt.

Capital Resources

Primary Sources of Capital

Our entry into conservatorship resulted in significant changes to the assessment of our capital adequacy and our management of capital. Under the Purchase Agreement, Treasury made a commitment to provide us with funding, under certain conditions, to eliminate deficits in our net worth. At September 30, 2019, our assets exceeded our liabilities under GAAP; therefore, no draw is being requested from Treasury under the Purchase Agreement. Based on our Net Worth Amount of $6.7 billion and the applicable Capital Reserve Amount of $20.0 billion, we will not have a dividend requirement to Treasury in December 2019. See Note 2 for details of the support we receive from Treasury.

The table below presents activity related to our net worth during 3Q 2019 and YTD 2019.

Conservatorship Capital Framework

In May 2017, FHFA, as Conservator, issued guidance to us to evaluate and manage our financial risk and to make economic business decisions, while in conservatorship, utilizing a newly-developed risk-based CCF, an economic capital system with detailed formulae provided by FHFA. The CCF also provides the foundation for the risk-based component of the proposed Enterprise Capital Rule published by FHFA in the Federal Register in July 2018.



Freddie Mac Form 10-Q		46



Management's Discussion and Analysis		Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have adopted the CCF for internal capital measurement to evaluate business decisions and ensure the company makes such decisions prudently when pricing transactions and managing its businesses. This framework focuses on the profits earned versus an estimated cost of equity capital needed to support the risk assumed to generate those profits.

The existing regulatory capital requirements have been suspended by FHFA during conservatorship. Consequently, we refer to the capital needed under the CCF for analysis of transactions and businesses as "conservatorship capital."

Under the Purchase Agreement and the September 2019 Letter Agreement, we are not able to retain equity, as calculated under GAAP, in excess of the $20.0 billion Capital Reserve Amount. As a result, we do not have capital sufficient to support our aggregate risk-taking activities.

Return on Conservatorship Capital

The table below provides the ROCC, calculated as (1) annualized comprehensive income for the period divided by (2) average conservatorship capital during the period. Each quarter, we consider whether certain "significant items" occurred that should be excluded from comprehensive income for our calculation of ROCC. If we have identified significant items in any of the periods presented, we also include comprehensive income excluding significant items as well as an adjusted ROCC based on comprehensive income excluding significant items, both non-GAAP measures. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors as they better reflect our on-going financial results.

The ROCC shown in the table below is not based on our total equity and does not reflect actual returns on total equity. We do not believe that returns on total equity are meaningful because of the net worth limit imposed since 2012 under the Purchase Agreement.

Table 35 - Return on Conservatorship Capital⁽¹⁾



(Dollars in billions)	3Q 2019	3Q 2018	YTD 2019	YTD 2018
GAAP comprehensive income	$1.8	$2.6	$5.3	$7.1
Significant items:
Non-agency mortgage-related securities judgment⁽²⁾	—	—	—	(0.3)
Tax effect related to judgment⁽²⁾	—	—	—	0.1
Total significant items⁽³⁾	—	—	—	(0.2)
Comprehensive income, excluding significant items⁽³⁾	$1.8	$2.6	$5.3	$6.9
Conservatorship capital (average during the period)⁽⁴⁾	$51.3	$56.5	$51.8	$57.5
ROCC, based on GAAP comprehensive income⁽⁴⁾	14.4%	18.1%	13.7%	16.6%
Adjusted ROCC, based on comprehensive income excluding significant items⁽³⁾⁽⁴⁾	14.4%	18.1%	13.7%	16.0%


(1)	Average conservatorship capital and ROCC for 3Q 2019 and YTD 2019 are preliminary and subject to change until official submission to FHFA.


(2)	YTD 2018 GAAP comprehensive income included a benefit of $334 million (pre-tax) from a final judgment against Nomura Holding America, Inc. in litigation involving certain of our non-agency mortgage-related securities. The tax effect related to this judgment was ($70) million.


(3)	No significant items were identified for the 2019 periods. Numbers for the 2019 periods are included for comparison purposes only.


(4)	Average conservatorship capital for each period is based on the CCF in effect during that period, except that the 2018 figures have been revised to include capital for deferred tax assets. The CCF in effect as of September 30, 2019 was largely unchanged from the CCF as of June 30, 2019.

Our ROCC and Adjusted ROCC for 3Q 2019 and YTD 2019 decreased compared to the returns for the 2018 periods, primarily driven by the decrease in comprehensive income, partially offset by the lower level of conservatorship capital needed, resulting from an increase in CRT activity in both our Single-family Guarantee and Multifamily segments, home price appreciation, the efficient disposition of legacy assets, and a decrease in our deferred tax assets.

We find the returns calculated above, as well as the returns calculated on specific transactions and individual business lines, to be a reasonable measure of return-versus-risk to support our decision-making while we remain in conservatorship. These returns may not be indicative of the returns that would be generated if we were to exit conservatorship, especially as the terms and timing of any such exit are not currently known and will depend upon future actions by the U.S. government. Our belief, should we leave conservatorship, is that returns at that time would most likely be below the levels calculated above, assuming the same portfolio of risk assets, as we expect that we would hold capital post-conservatorship above the minimum required regulatory capital. It is also likely that we would be required to pay fees for federal government support, thereby reducing our total comprehensive income.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

We enter into certain off-balance sheet arrangements related to our securitization activities involving guaranteed loans and mortgage-related securities, though most of our securitization activities are on-balance sheet. For a description of our off-balance sheet arrangements, see MD&A - Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements in our 2018 Annual Report. See Note 3 and Note 5 for more information on our off-balance sheet securitization and guarantee activities.

Our maximum potential off-balance sheet exposure to credit losses relating to these securitization activities and guarantees is primarily represented by the UPB of the underlying loans and securities, which was $283.5 billion and $254.9 billion at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. The amount as of September 30, 2019 excludes Fannie Mae securities backing Freddie Mac resecuritization products discussed below.

With the implementation of the Single Security Initiative, we now have the ability to commingle TBA-eligible Fannie Mae collateral in certain of our resecuritization products. When we resecuritize Fannie Mae securities in our commingled resecuritization products, our guarantee covers timely payments of principal and interest on such securities. Accordingly, commingling Fannie Mae collateral in our resecuritization transactions increases our off-balance sheet exposure as we do not have control over the Fannie Mae collateral.

As of September 30, 2019, the total amount of our off-balance sheet exposure related to Fannie Mae securities backing Freddie Mac resecuritization products was approximately $17 billion. We expect this exposure to increase over time.

FHFA's Strategic Plan and Scorecards for Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae Conservatorships

In October 2019, FHFA released a new Strategic Plan for the Conservatorships of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae. The 2019 Strategic Plan provides a framework for how FHFA will guide Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae (the Enterprises) to fulfill their statutory missions, focus on safety and soundness, and prepare for a responsible end to the conservatorships.

The three objectives of this new Strategic Plan are to ensure that the Enterprises:


n	Focus on their core mission responsibilities to foster competitive, liquid, efficient, and resilient (CLEAR) national housing finance markets that support sustainable homeownership and affordable rental housing;


n	Operate in a safe and sound manner appropriate for entities in conservatorship; and


n	Prepare for the Enterprises' eventual exists from conservatorships.

FHFA also released a new annual Conservatorship Scorecard for Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae, and Common Securitization Solutions. This new 2020 Conservatorship Scorecard aligns tactical priorities and execution at the Enterprises to the 2019 Strategic Plan and serves as a tool in holding the Enterprises accountable for its effective implementation

FHFA issued the 2019 and 2020 Conservatorship Scorecards in December 2018 and October 2019, respectively. We continue to align our resources and internal business plans to meet the goals and objectives provided by FHFA.

For information about how the Conservatorship Scorecard affects executive compensation, see the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section in our 2018 Annual Report. For information about the 2019 Conservatorship Scorecard, see our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on December 20, 2018. For information on the 2020 Conservatorship Scorecard, see our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on October 29, 2019.



Freddie Mac Form 10-Q		50



Management's Discussion and Analysis		Regulation and Supervision

REGULATION AND SUPERVISION

In addition to our oversight by FHFA as our Conservator, we are subject to regulation and oversight by FHFA under our Charter and the GSE Act and to certain regulation by other government agencies. Furthermore, regulatory activities by other government agencies can affect us indirectly, even if we are not directly subject to such agencies' regulation or oversight. For example, regulations that modify requirements applicable to the purchase or servicing of mortgages can affect us.

Federal Housing Finance Agency

Affordable Housing Fund Allocations

The GSE Act requires us to set aside in each fiscal year an amount equal to 4.2 basis points of each dollar of total new business purchases, and pay this amount to certain housing funds. During 3Q 2019 and YTD 2019, we completed $163.2 billion and $365.4 billion, respectively, of new business purchases subject to this requirement and accrued $68 million and $153 million, respectively, of related expense. We are prohibited from passing through these costs to the originators of the loans that we purchase.

Legislative and Regulatory Developments

Treasury Housing Reform Plan

On September 5, 2019, Treasury released its plan to reform the housing finance system pursuant to the goals specified in the presidential memorandum issued on March 27, 2019. The Treasury Housing Reform Plan (the Plan) includes 49 recommended legislative and administrative reforms that would advance the reform goals outlined in the presidential memorandum: ending the conservatorships of the GSEs, facilitating competition in the housing finance system, establishing regulation of the GSEs that safeguards their safety and soundness and minimizes the risks they pose to the financial stability of the United States, and providing that the federal government is properly compensated for any explicit or implicit support it provides to the GSEs or the secondary housing finance market.

Among other things, Treasury states that its preference and recommendation is for Congress to enact comprehensive housing finance reform legislation. Specifically, the Plan indicates that legislative reforms should replace the existing GSE Purchase Agreements with an explicit, paid-for guarantee backed by the full faith and credit of the federal government that is limited to the timely payment of principal and interest on qualifying MBS. The explicit government guarantee should be available to re-chartered GSEs and to any other FHFA-approved guarantors of MBS collateralized by eligible conventional mortgage loans or eligible multifamily mortgage loans. Further, the government’s guarantee would stand behind significant first-loss private capital and would be triggered only in exigent circumstances.

To ensure stability in the housing finance system pending comprehensive housing finance reform legislation, the Plan indicates that it will be necessary to maintain limited and tailored government support for the GSEs by leaving the Purchase Agreement commitments in place after the GSE conservatorships. The Plan notes that the government should be compensated for its continued support through a periodic commitment fee.

The Plan also indicates that FHFA should begin the process of ending the GSE conservatorships. It recommends that the Purchase Agreements be amended to enhance Treasury’s ability to mitigate the risk of a draw on the commitments after the conservatorships have ended. It also indicates that other Purchase Agreement amendments should ensure that each GSE continues to be subject to appropriate mission and safety and soundness regulation after conservatorship and that future GSE activities are limited to those that have a close nexus to the underlying rationale for government support.

Treasury has indicated that it will continue to support FHFA’s administrative actions to enhance regulation of the GSEs, promote private sector competition, and satisfy preconditions for ending the GSEs’ conservatorships. We cannot predict whether Congress will enact legislation or FHFA will take administrative action that is consistent with these recommendations.

Affordable Housing Goal Results for 2018

In September 2019, FHFA informed us that it had reviewed our performance with respect to affordable housing goals for 2018 and preliminarily determined that we achieved all five of our single-family affordable housing goals and all three of our multifamily goals. We may achieve a single-family or multifamily housing goal by meeting or exceeding the FHFA benchmark for that goal (Goal). We also may achieve a single-family housing goal by meeting or exceeding the actual share of the market that meets the criteria for that goal (Market Level). Our performance on the goals, as preliminarily determined by FHFA, is set forth in the table below.

NOTE 1

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Freddie Mac is a GSE chartered by Congress in 1970. Our public mission is to provide liquidity, stability, and affordability to the U.S. housing market. We are regulated by FHFA, the SEC, HUD, and Treasury, and are currently operating under the conservatorship of FHFA. For more information on the roles of FHFA and Treasury, see Note 2 in this Form 10-Q and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, or 2018 Annual Report. Throughout our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes, we use certain acronyms and terms which are defined in the Glossary of our 2018 Annual Report. Throughout this Form 10-Q, we refer to the three months ended September 30, 2019, the three months ended June 30, 2019, the three months ended March 31, 2019, the three months ended December 31, 2018, the three months ended September 30, 2018, the three months ended June 30, 2018, the three months ended March 31, 2018, and the three months ended December 31, 2017 as "3Q 2019," "2Q 2019," "1Q 2019," "4Q 2018," "3Q 2018," "2Q 2018," "1Q 2018," and "4Q 2017," respectively. We refer to the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and the nine months ended September 30, 2018 as "YTD 2019" and "YTD 2018," respectively.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes in our 2018 Annual Report.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and include our accounts as well as the accounts of other entities in which we have a controlling financial interest. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

We are operating under the basis that we will realize assets and satisfy liabilities in the normal course of business as a going concern and in accordance with the authority provided by FHFA to our Board of Directors to oversee management's conduct of our business operations. Certain amounts in prior periods' condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. In the opinion of management, our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of our results.

We evaluate the materiality of identified errors in the financial statements using both an income statement, or "rollover," and a balance sheet, or "iron curtain," approach, based on relevant quantitative and qualitative factors. Net income includes certain adjustments to correct immaterial errors related to previously reported periods.

Financial Statements	Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements \| Note 1

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, gains, and losses during the reporting period. Management has made significant estimates in preparing the financial statements for establishing the allowance for credit losses and valuing financial instruments and other assets and liabilities. Actual results could be different from these estimates.

Recently Issued Accounting Guidance



Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance
Standard	Description	Date of Adoption	Effect on Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842)	The amendment in this Update addresses the accounting for lease arrangements.	January 1, 2019	The adoption of the amendment did not have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements or on our disclosures.
ASU 2018-16, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Inclusion of the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) Overnight Index Swap (OIS) Rate as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes	The amendments in this Update permit the OIS rate based on SOFR, as an eligible U.S. benchmark interest rate for purposes of applying hedge accounting under Topic 815.	January 1, 2019	The adoption of the amendment did not have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements or on our disclosures.
ASU 2018-20, Leases (Topic 842): Narrow-Scope Improvements for Lessors	The amendments in this Update address certain ASU 2016-02 implementation issues including the recognition of taxes collected from lessees, lessor costs paid directly by a lessee, and recognition of variable payments for contracts with lease and non-lease components.	January 1, 2019	The adoption of the amendments did not have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements or on our disclosures.

Recently Issued Accounting Guidance, Not Yet Adopted Within Our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Standard	Description	Date of Planned Adoption	Effect on Consolidated Financial Statements
ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments	The amendments in this Update replace the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP with a methodology that reflects lifetime expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates.	January 1, 2020	We have developed our models to estimate lifetime expected credit losses on our financial instruments measured at amortized cost primarily using a discounted cash flow methodology. We are using these models to execute our process for estimating the allowance for credit losses under the new standard in parallel with our existing process for estimating the allowance for credit losses under current GAAP and are developing an appropriate governance process for our estimate of expected credit losses under the new standard. The amendments will be applied through a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the year of adoption. While we continue to evaluate the effect that ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, and related amendments will have on our consolidated financial statements, we expect the transition impact to result in an immaterial change in retained earnings. The increase in the allowance for credit losses from incorporating lifetime losses is generally offset by recoveries and a positive impact from including forecasts of economic conditions. The actual impact at adoption will depend upon the nature and characteristics of the portfolio at the adoption date, as well as macroeconomic conditions and forecasts at that time.
ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement	The amendments in this Update modify the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements, based on the concepts in the Concepts Statement, including the consideration of costs and benefits. Certain disclosure requirements were either removed, modified, or added.	January 1, 2020	On October 1, 2018, we early adopted the amendments to remove or modify certain disclosures, which did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements. We are delaying adoption of the amendments to add certain disclosures until their effective date. We do not expect that the adoption of the additional disclosures will have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
ASU 2018-15, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract	The amendments in this Update align the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license).	January 1, 2020	We do not expect that the adoption of these amendments will have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
ASU 2018-17, Consolidation (Topic 810): Targeted Improvements to Related Party Guidance for Variable Interest Entities	The amendments in this Update require that indirect interests held through related parties under common control be considered on a proportional basis when determining whether fees paid to decision makers or service providers are variable interests. These amendments align with the determination of whether a reporting entity within a related party group is the primary beneficiary of a VIE.	January 1, 2020	We do not expect that the adoption of these amendments will have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

January 1, 2020	We do not expect that the adoption of these amendments will have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
ASU 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Financial Instruments (Topic 825)	The amendments in this Update clarify certain aspects of Topic 326 guidance issued in ASU 2016-13 including the scope of the credit losses standard and issues related to accrued interest receivable balances, recoveries, variable interest rates and prepayments. The other amendments in this update clarify certain aspects of Topic 815 and Topic 825.	January 1, 2020	We are assessing the impact of adopting the Topic 326 amendments as part of our assessment of the adoption impact of ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses. We do not expect that the adoption of the Topic 815 and Topic 825 amendments will have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
ASU 2019-05, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments	The amendments in this Update provides entities with transition relief upon the adoption of ASU 2016-13 by providing an option to elect fair value option on certain financial instruments measured at amortized cost.	January 1, 2020	We do not expect that the adoption of these amendments will have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Conservatorship and Related Matters

Business Objectives

We operate under the conservatorship that commenced on September 6, 2008, conducting our business under the direction of FHFA, as our Conservator. The conservatorship and related matters significantly affect our management, business activities, financial condition, and results of operations. Upon its appointment, FHFA, as Conservator, immediately succeeded to all rights, titles, powers, and privileges of Freddie Mac, and of any stockholder, officer, or director thereof, with respect to the company and its assets. The Conservator also succeeded to the title to all books, records, and assets of Freddie Mac held by any other legal custodian or third party. The Conservator provided for the Board of Directors to perform certain functions and to oversee management, and the Board delegated to management authority to conduct business operations so that the company can continue to operate in the ordinary course. The directors serve on behalf of, and perform such functions as provided by, the Conservator.

We are subject to certain constraints on our business activities under the Purchase Agreement. However, the support provided by Treasury pursuant to the Purchase Agreement currently enables us to maintain our access to the debt markets and to have adequate liquidity to conduct our normal business activities, although the costs of our debt funding could vary. Our ability to access funds from Treasury under the Purchase Agreement is critical to keeping us solvent.

Purchase Agreement

Treasury, as the holder of the senior preferred stock, is entitled to receive quarterly cash dividends, when, as, and if declared by our Board of Directors. The dividends we have paid to Treasury on the senior preferred stock have been declared by, and paid at the direction of, the Conservator, acting as successor to the rights, titles, powers, and privileges of the Board.

Under the August 2012 amendment to the Purchase Agreement, for each quarter from January 1, 2013 and thereafter, the dividend payment will be the amount, if any, by which our Net Worth Amount at the end of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter, less the applicable Capital Reserve Amount, exceeds zero. Pursuant to the September 2019 Letter Agreement, the applicable Capital Reserve Amount is $20.0 billion. If for any reason we do not pay the net worth sweep dividend in full for any period, the applicable Capital Reserve Amount will thereafter be zero.

In addition, pursuant to the September 2019 Letter Agreement, the liquidation preference of the senior preferred stock will be increased, at the end of each fiscal quarter, beginning on September 30, 2019, by an amount equal to the increase in the Net Worth Amount, if any, during the immediately prior fiscal quarter, until the liquidation preference has increased by $17.0 billion. As a result, the liquidation preference of the senior preferred stock increased from $75.6 billion to $77.5 billion on September 30, 2019 based on the $1.8 billion increase in our Net Worth Amount during 2Q 2019, and will increase to $79.3 billion on December 31, 2019 based on the $1.8 billion increase in our Net Worth Amount during 3Q 2019.

Under the September 2019 Letter Agreement, Freddie Mac and Treasury also agreed to negotiate and execute an amendment to the Purchase Agreement that further enhances taxpayer protections by adopting covenants broadly consistent with recommendations for administrative reform contained in the Treasury's September 2019 Housing Reform Plan.

Impact of Conservatorship and Related Developments on the Mortgage-Related Investments Portfolio

In February 2019, FHFA directed us to maintain the UPB of our mortgage-related investments portfolio at or below $225 billion at all times. The UPB of this portfolio was $221.6 billion at September 30, 2019. Our ability to acquire and sell mortgage assets continues to be significantly constrained by limitations imposed by the Purchase Agreement and FHFA.

Government Support for Our Business

We receive substantial support from Treasury and are dependent upon its continued support to continue operating our business. Our ability to access funds from Treasury under the Purchase Agreement is critical to:


n	Keeping us solvent;


n	Allowing us to focus on our primary business objectives under conservatorship; and


n	Avoiding the appointment of a receiver by FHFA under statutory mandatory receivership provisions.



Freddie Mac Form 10-Q		63



Financial Statements	Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements \| Note 2

At June 30, 2019, our assets exceeded our liabilities under GAAP; therefore, FHFA, as Conservator, did not request a draw on our behalf and, as a result, we did not receive any funding from Treasury under the Purchase Agreement during 3Q 2019. The amount of available funding remaining under the Purchase Agreement is $140.2 billion and will be reduced by any future draws.

See Note 8 and Note 11 for more information on the conservatorship and the Purchase Agreement.

Related Parties As a Result of Conservatorship

We are deemed related parties with Fannie Mae as both we and Fannie Mae have the same relationships with FHFA and Treasury. CSS was formed in 2013 as a limited liability company equally-owned by Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae and is also deemed a related party. In connection with the formation of CSS, we entered into a limited liability company agreement with Fannie Mae. We and Fannie Mae have each appointed two executives to the CSS Board of Managers and signed governance and operating agreements for CSS, including an updated customer services agreement with Fannie Mae and CSS in May of 2019. In June of 2019, we entered into an agreement with Fannie Mae regarding the commingling of certain of our mortgage securities under the Single Security Initiative and related indemnification obligations. During YTD 2019, we contributed $84 million of capital to CSS, and we have contributed $548 million since the fourth quarter of 2014.

NOTE 3

Securitization Activities and Consolidation

Our primary business activities in our Single-family Guarantee and Multifamily segments involve the securitization of loans or other mortgage-related assets using trusts that are VIEs. These trusts issue beneficial interests in the loans or other mortgage-related assets that they own. We guarantee the principal and interest payments on some or all of the issued beneficial interests in substantially all of our securitization transactions. We consolidate VIEs when we have a controlling financial interest in the VIE and are therefore considered the primary beneficiary of the VIE. See Note 5 for additional information on our guarantee activities.

Consolidated VIEs

The table below presents the carrying value and classification of the assets and liabilities of consolidated VIEs on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Debt, net	1,869,308		1,792,677
Total liabilities of consolidated VIEs		$1,874,827		$1,798,012

Non-Consolidated VIEs

Our involvement with VIEs for which we are not the primary beneficiary takes one or both of two forms - purchasing an investment in these entities or providing a guarantee to these entities. As part of the Single Security Initiative, we have the ability to commingle TBA-eligible Fannie Mae collateral in certain of our resecuritization products that we do not consolidate. We extend our guarantee of these products to cover principal and interest that are payable from the underlying Fannie Mae collateral. See Note 5 for additional information on our guarantee of Fannie Mae securities.

The following table presents the carrying amounts and classification of the assets and liabilities recorded on our condensed consolidated balance sheets related to non-consolidated VIEs with which we were involved in the design and creation and have a significant continuing involvement, as well as our maximum exposure to loss and total assets of the VIEs. Our maximum exposure to loss includes the guaranteed UPB of assets held by the non-consolidated VIEs, the UPB of unguaranteed securities that we acquired from these securitization transactions, and the UPB of guarantor advances made to the holders of the guaranteed securities. Our maximum exposure to loss and total assets of non-consolidated VIEs excludes our investments in and obligations to non-consolidated Freddie Mac resecuritization trusts because we already consolidate the underlying Freddie Mac collateral of these trusts on our condensed consolidated balance sheets and for commingled resecuritization trusts, we view the likelihood of being required to perform on our guarantee of the underlying Fannie Mae collateral as remote. Our maximum exposure to loss also excludes our interest rate exposure on certain securitization activity and other mortgage-related guarantees measured at fair value where our interest rate exposure may be unlimited. We generally reduce our exposure to these guarantees with unlimited interest rate exposure through separate contracts with third parties.

We do not believe the maximum exposure to loss disclosed in the table below is representative of the actual loss we are likely to incur, based on our historical loss experience and after consideration of proceeds from related collateral liquidation, including possible recoveries under credit enhancement arrangements. See Note 6 for additional information on credit enhancement arrangements.

We also obtain interests in various other VIEs created by third parties through the normal course of business. To the extent that we were not involved in the design and creation of these VIEs, they are excluded from the table above. Our interests in these VIEs are generally passive in nature and are not expected to result in us obtaining a controlling financial interest in these VIEs in the future.

Credit Quality

Single-Family

The current LTV ratio is one key factor we consider when estimating our allowance for credit losses for single-family loans. As current LTV ratios increase, the borrower's equity in the home decreases, which may negatively affect the borrower's ability to refinance (outside of the Enhanced Relief Refinance program) or to sell the property for an amount at or above the balance of the outstanding loan.

A second-lien loan also reduces the borrower's equity in the home, and has a similar negative effect on the borrower's ability to refinance or sell the property for an amount at or above the combined balances of the first and second loans. However, borrowers are free to obtain second-lien financing after origination, and we are not entitled to receive notification when a borrower does so. For further information about concentrations of risk associated with our single-family and multifamily loans, see Note 14.

The table below presents the recorded investment of single-family held-for-investment loans by current LTV ratios. Our current LTV ratios are estimates based on available data through the end of each respective period presented.

(2)	Primarily includes capitalization of past due interest on modified loans.

A significant number of unsecuritized single-family loans on our condensed consolidated balance sheets are individually evaluated for impairment while substantially all single-family loans held by our consolidated trusts are collectively evaluated for impairment. The allowance for loan losses associated with our held-for-investment unsecuritized loans represented approximately 3.8% and 6.6% of the recorded investment in such loans at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, and a substantial portion of the allowance associated with these loans represented interest rate concessions provided to borrowers as part of loan modifications. The allowance for loan losses associated with loans held by our consolidated trusts represented approximately 0.1% and 0.2% of the recorded investment in such loans as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

Troubled Debt Restructurings (TDRs)

The table below presents the volume of single-family and multifamily loans that were newly classified as TDRs, based on the original product category of the loan before the loan was classified as a TDR. Loans classified as a TDR in one period may be subject to further action (such as a modification or remodification) in a subsequent period. In such cases, the subsequent action would not be reflected in the table below since the loan would already have been classified as a TDR.

(1)	The pre-TDR recorded investment for single-family loans initially classified as TDR during 3Q 2019 and YTD 2019 was $1.1 billion and $3.7 billion, respectively, compared to $1.3 billion and $7.2 billion during 3Q 2018 and YTD 2018, respectively.

Of the single-family loan modifications that were classified as TDRs during 3Q 2019, 3Q 2018, YTD 2019 and YTD 2018, respectively:

n 9%, 9%, 8%, and 12% involved interest rate reductions and, in certain cases, term extensions;

n 23%, 21%, 24%, and 24% involved principal forbearance in addition to interest rate reductions and, in certain cases, term extensions;

n The average term extension was 188, 110, 177, and 126 months; and

n The average interest rate reduction was 0.2%, 0.2%, 0.1%, and 0.3%.

The table below presents the volume of our TDR modifications that experienced payment defaults (i.e., loans that became two months delinquent or completed a loss event) during the applicable periods and had completed a modification during the year preceding the payment default. The table presents loans based on their original product category before modification.

In addition to modifications, loans may be classified as TDRs as a result of other loss mitigation activities (i.e., repayment plans, forbearance agreements, or trial period modifications). During YTD 2019 and YTD 2018, 3,983 and 6,487, respectively, of such loans (with a post-TDR recorded investment of $0.4 billion and $0.8 billion, respectively) experienced a payment default within a year after the loss mitigation activity occurred.

Non-Cash Investing and Financing Activities

During YTD 2019 and YTD 2018, we acquired $162.7 billion and $122.6 billion, respectively, of loans held-for-investment in exchange for the issuance of debt securities of consolidated trusts in guarantor swap transactions. We received approximately $28.6 billion and $18.8 billion of loans from sellers in guarantor swap transactions and $1.6 billion and $0.1 billion of loans from sellers in cash execution transactions during YTD 2019 and YTD 2018, respectively, to satisfy advances to lenders that were recorded in other assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

NOTE 5

Guarantee Activities

We generate revenue through our guarantee activities by agreeing to absorb the credit risk associated with certain financial instruments that are owned or held by third parties. In exchange for providing this guarantee, we receive an ongoing guarantee fee that is commensurate with the risks assumed and that will, over the long-term, provide us with cash flows that are expected to exceed the credit-related and administrative expenses of the underlying financial instruments. The profitability of our guarantee activities may vary and will be dependent on our guarantee fee and the actual credit performance of the underlying financial instruments that we have guaranteed.

The table below shows our maximum exposure, recognized liability, and maximum remaining term of our recognized guarantees to non-consolidated VIEs and other third parties. This table does not include our unrecognized guarantees, such as guarantees to consolidated VIEs or to resecuritization trusts that do not expose us to incremental credit risk. The maximum exposure disclosed in the table is not representative of the actual loss we are likely to incur, based on our historical loss experience and after consideration of proceeds from related collateral liquidation, including possible recoveries under credit enhancement arrangements. See Note 6 for additional information on our credit enhancement arrangements.

As part of the Single Security Initiative, we have the ability to commingle TBA-eligible Fannie Mae collateral in certain of our resecuritization products. We extend our guarantee of these products to cover principal and interest that are payable from the underlying Fannie Mae collateral. Because both Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae are under the common control of FHFA, and due to Fannie Mae’s status as a GSE and the funding commitment available to it through its senior preferred stock purchase agreement with Treasury, we view the likelihood of being required to perform on our guarantee of Fannie Mae collateral as remote and do not charge an incremental guarantee fee to include Fannie Mae securities in our resecuritization products. Thus, we do not record a guarantee obligation with respect to Fannie Mae securities backing Freddie Mac resecuritization products, and we exclude from the following table approximately $17 billion of Fannie Mae securities backing Freddie Mac resecuritization products as of September 30, 2019.

(1)

The maximum exposure represents the contractual amounts that could be lost if counterparties or borrowers defaulted, without consideration of possible recoveries under credit enhancement arrangements, such as recourse provisions, third-party insurance contracts, or from collateral held or pledged. For other guarantees measured at fair value, this amount represents the notional value if it relates to our market value guarantees or guarantees of third-party derivative instruments or the UPB if it relates to a guarantee of a mortgage-related asset. For certain of our other guarantees measured at fair value, our exposure may be unlimited. We generally reduce our exposure to these guarantees with unlimited exposure through separate contracts with third parties.

(2)

For securitization activity guarantees and other mortgage-related guarantees, this amount represents the guarantee obligation on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. This amount excludes our reserve for guarantee losses, which totaled $51 million and $52 million as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, and is included within other liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. For other guarantees measured at fair value, this amount represents the fair value of the contract.

Credit Enhancements

In connection with many of our mortgage loans, securitization activity guarantees, other mortgage-related guarantees, and other credit risk transfer transactions, we obtain various forms of credit enhancements that reduce our exposure to credit losses. These credit enhancements may be associated with mortgage loans or guarantees recognized on our condensed consolidated balance sheets or embedded in debt instruments recognized on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Mortgage Loan Credit Enhancements

The table below presents the total current and protected UPB and maximum amounts of potential loss recovery related to our mortgage loan credit enhancements. For information about counterparty credit risk associated with credit enhancement providers, see Note 14.

(1)

Underlying loans may be covered by more than one form of credit enhancement. For STACR debt notes and SCR notes, total current and protected UPB represents the UPB of the assets included in the reference pool. For subordination, total current and protected UPB represents the UPB of the guaranteed securities, which represents the UPB of the assets included in the trust net of the protection provided by the subordinated securities.


(2)	For STACR debt notes and SCR notes, maximum coverage amount represents the outstanding balance of the STACR debt notes and SCR notes held by third parties. For subordination, maximum coverage amount represents the outstanding UPB of the securities that are subordinate to Freddie Mac guaranteed securities and held by third parties.

Other Credit Enhancements

The Multifamily segment also has other credit enhancements in the form of collateral posting requirements, indemnification, pool insurance, bond insurance, recourse, and other similar arrangements. These credit enhancements, along with the proceeds received from the sale of the underlying mortgage collateral, are designed to recover all or a portion of our losses on our mortgage loans or the amounts paid under our financial guarantee contracts. Our historical losses and related recoveries pursuant to these agreements have not been significant and therefore these other types of credit enhancements are excluded from the tables above.

NOTE 9

Derivatives

Use of Derivatives

We use derivatives primarily to hedge interest-rate sensitivity mismatches between our financial assets and liabilities. We analyze the interest-rate sensitivity of financial assets and liabilities on a daily basis across a variety of interest-rate scenarios based on market prices, models, and economics. When we use derivatives to mitigate our exposures, we consider a number of factors, including cost, exposure to counterparty risk, and our overall risk management strategy.

We classify derivatives into three categories:


n	Exchange-traded derivatives;


n	Cleared derivatives; and


n	OTC derivatives.

Exchange-traded derivatives include standardized interest-rate futures contracts and options on futures contracts. Cleared derivatives refer to those interest-rate swaps that the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission has determined are subject to the central clearing requirement of the Dodd-Frank Act. OTC derivatives refer to those derivatives that are neither exchange-traded derivatives nor cleared derivatives.

Types of Derivatives

We principally use the following types of derivatives:


n	LIBOR- and SOFR-based interest-rate swaps;


n	LIBOR- and Treasury-based purchased options (including swaptions); and


n	LIBOR-, Treasury-, and SOFR-based exchange-traded futures.

We also purchase swaptions on credit indices in order to obtain protection against adverse movements in multifamily spreads which may affect the profitability of our K Certificate or SB Certificate transactions.

In addition to swaps, futures, and purchased options, our derivative positions include written options and swaptions, commitments, and credit derivatives.

Hedge Accounting

Fair Value Hedges

We apply fair value hedge accounting to certain single-family mortgage loans and certain issuances of debt where we hedge the changes in fair value of these items attributable to the designated benchmark interest rate (i.e., LIBOR), using LIBOR-based interest-rate swaps. Beginning in September 2019, we implemented a new fair value hedge accounting strategy for single-family mortgage loans that applies certain hedge accounting elections, including the last-of-layer method, allowable under amended hedge accounting guidance we adopted during 4Q 2017. Under the last-of-layer method, we hedge the changes in fair value of a portion of a closed pool of single-family mortgage loans that is not expected to be affected by prepayments, defaults, and other events affecting the timing and amount of cash flows. As part of this new strategy, we have also elected to measure the change in fair value of the hedged item on the basis of the benchmark rate component of the contractual coupon cash flows determined at the hedge inception and by assuming the hedged item has a term that reflects only the designated cash flows being hedged.

If a hedge relationship qualifies for fair value hedge accounting, all changes in fair value of the derivative hedging instrument, including interest accruals, are recognized in the same condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income line item used to present the earnings effect of the hedged item. Therefore, changes in the fair value of the hedged item, mortgage loans and debt, attributable to the risk being hedged are recognized in interest income - mortgage loans and interest expense, respectively, along with the changes in the fair value of the respective derivative hedging instruments.

Cash Flow Hedges

There are amounts recorded in AOCI related to discontinued cash flow hedges which are recognized in earnings when the originally forecasted transactions affect earnings. Amounts reclassified from AOCI are recorded in interest expense. During YTD 2019 and YTD 2018, we reclassified from AOCI into earnings, pre-tax losses of $72 million and $106 million, respectively, related to closed cash flow hedges. See Note 11 for information about future reclassifications of deferred net losses related to

NOTE 10

Collateralized Agreements and Offsetting Arrangements

Derivative Portfolio

Derivative Counterparties

Our use of cleared derivatives, exchange-traded derivatives, and OTC derivatives exposes us to counterparty credit risk. Our use of interest-rate swaps and option-based derivatives is subject to internal credit and legal reviews. On an ongoing basis, we review the credit fundamentals of all of our derivative counterparties, clearinghouses, and clearing members to confirm that they continue to meet our internal risk management standards.

Over-the-Counter Derivatives

We use master netting and collateral agreements to reduce our credit risk exposure to our OTC derivative counterparties. In the event that all of our counterparties for OTC derivatives were to default simultaneously on September 30, 2019, our maximum loss for accounting purposes after applying netting agreements and collateral on an individual counterparty basis would have been approximately $44 million.

Cleared and Exchange-Traded Derivatives

The majority of our interest-rate swaps are subject to the central clearing requirement of the Dodd-Frank Act. A reduction in our credit ratings could cause the clearinghouses or clearing members we use for our cleared and exchange-traded derivatives to demand additional collateral.

Other Derivatives

We also execute forward purchase and sale commitments of loans and mortgage-related securities, including dollar roll transactions, that are treated as derivatives for accounting purposes. The total net exposure on our forward purchase and sale commitments, which are treated as derivatives, was $195 million and $90 million at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

Many of our transactions involving forward purchase and sale commitments of mortgage-related securities utilize the Mortgage Backed Securities Division of the Fixed Income Clearing Corporation ("MBSD/FICC") as a clearinghouse. As a clearing member of the clearinghouse, we post margin to the MBSD/FICC and are exposed to the counterparty credit risk of the organization (including its clearing members).

As an investor, we enter into arrangements to purchase securities under agreements to subsequently resell the identical or substantially the same securities to our counterparty. Our counterparties to these transactions are required to pledge the purchased securities as collateral for their obligation to repurchase those securities at a later date. While such transactions involve the legal transfer of securities, they are accounted for as secured financings because the transferor does not relinquish effective control over the securities transferred. These agreements may allow us to repledge all or a portion of the collateral pledged to us, and we may repledge such collateral periodically, although it is not typically our practice to repledge collateral that has been pledged to us.

We consider the types of securities being pledged to us as collateral when determining how much we lend in transactions involving securities purchased under agreements to resell. Additionally, we regularly review the market values of these securities compared to amounts loaned in an effort to manage our exposure to losses.

Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase

Securities sold under agreements to repurchase are effectively collateralized borrowings where we sell securities with an agreement to repurchase such securities at a future date. We are required to pledge the sold securities to the counterparties to these transactions as collateral for our obligation to repurchase these securities at a later date. Similar to the securities purchased under agreements to resell transactions, these transactions involve the legal transfer of securities. However, they are

accounted for as secured financings because they require the identical or substantially the same securities to be subsequently repurchased. These agreements may allow our counterparties to repledge all or a portion of the collateral.

Offsetting of Financial Assets and Liabilities

At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, all amounts of cash collateral related to derivatives with master netting and collateral agreements were offset against derivative assets, net or derivative liabilities, net, as applicable.

The tables below display offsetting and collateral information related to derivatives, securities purchased under agreements to resell, and securities sold under agreements to repurchase which are subject to enforceable master netting agreements or similar arrangements.

Future Reclassifications from AOCI to Net Income Related to Closed Cash Flow Hedges

The total AOCI related to derivatives designated as cash flow hedges was a loss of $0.3 billion at both September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018, composed of deferred net losses on closed cash flow hedges. Closed cash flow hedges involve derivatives that have been terminated or are no longer designated as cash flow hedges. Fluctuations in prevailing market interest rates have no effect on the deferred portion of AOCI relating to losses on closed cash flow hedges.

The previously deferred amount related to closed cash flow hedges remains in our AOCI balance and will be recognized into earnings over the expected time period for which the forecasted transactions affect earnings, unless it is deemed probable that the forecasted transactions will not occur. Over the next 12 months, we estimate that approximately $49 million, net of taxes, of the $0.3 billion of cash flow hedge losses in AOCI at September 30, 2019 will be reclassified into earnings. The maximum remaining length of time over which we have hedged the exposure related to the variability in future cash flows on forecasted transactions, primarily forecasted debt issuances, is 14 years.

Senior Preferred Stock

Pursuant to the September 2019 Letter Agreement, for each dividend period from July 1, 2019 and thereafter, the applicable Capital Reserve Amount used in determining the dividend payable to Treasury will be $20.0 billion, rather than $3.0 billion as previously provided. As a result of this change, we did not have a dividend requirement to Treasury in September 2019, as our Net Worth Amount of $4.8 billion as of June 30, 2019 was lower than the $20.0 billion applicable Capital Reserve Amount.

As of September 30, 2019, our assets exceeded our liabilities under GAAP; therefore, no draw is being requested from Treasury under the Purchase Agreement. Based on our Net Worth Amount of $6.7 billion as of September 30, 2019 and the applicable Capital Reserve Amount of $20.0 billion, we will not have a dividend requirement to Treasury in December 2019. See Note 2 for additional information. Our cumulative senior preferred stock dividend payments remain at $119.7 billion as of September 30, 2019.

The aggregate liquidation preference of the senior preferred stock owned by Treasury was $75.6 billion as of June 30, 2019. Pursuant to the September 2019 Letter Agreement, the liquidation preference of the senior preferred stock will be increased, at the end of each fiscal quarter, beginning on September 30, 2019, by an amount equal to the increase in the Net Worth Amount, if any, during the immediately prior fiscal quarter, until the liquidation preference has increased by $17.0 billion. During 2Q 2019, our Net Worth Amount increased by $1.8 billion. As a result, the liquidation preference of the senior preferred stock increased to

$77.5 billion on September 30, 2019, and will increase to $79.3 billion on December 31, 2019 based on the $1.8 billion increase in our Net Worth Amount during 3Q 2019.

Stock Issuances and Repurchases

We did not repurchase or issue any of our common shares or non-cumulative preferred stock during 3Q 2019.

Earnings Per Share

We have participating securities related to restricted stock units with dividend equivalent rights that receive dividends as declared on an equal basis with common shares but are not obligated to participate in undistributed net losses. These participating securities consist of vested RSUs that earn dividend equivalents at the same rate when and as declared on common stock.

Consequently, in accordance with accounting guidance, we use the "two-class" method of computing earnings per common share. The "two-class" method is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for common stock and participating securities based on dividends declared and participation rights in undistributed earnings.

Basic earnings per common share is computed as net income attributable to common stockholders divided by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. The weighted average common shares outstanding for the period includes the weighted average number of shares that are associated with the warrant for our common stock issued to Treasury pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. These shares are included since the warrant is unconditionally exercisable by the holder at a minimal cost.

Diluted earnings per common share is computed as net income attributable to common stockholders divided by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period adjusted for the dilutive effect of common equivalent shares outstanding. For periods with net income attributable to common stockholders, the calculation includes the effect of the weighted-average of RSUs.

During periods in which a net loss attributable to common stockholders has been incurred, potential common equivalent shares outstanding are not included in the calculation because it would have an antidilutive effect.

There were no stock options outstanding at both September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018.

Dividends and Dividend Restrictions

No common dividends were declared during YTD 2019. At the direction of our Conservator, we paid dividends of $1.5 billion and $1.7 billion on the senior preferred stock during 1Q 2019 and 2Q 2019, respectively. As a result of the increase in the applicable Capital Reserve Amount pursuant to the September 2019 Letter Agreement, we did not declare or pay a dividend on the senior preferred stock during 3Q 2019. We also did not declare or pay dividends on any other series of Freddie Mac preferred stock outstanding during YTD 2019.

Our payment of dividends on Freddie Mac common stock or any series of Freddie Mac preferred stock (other than senior preferred stock) is subject to certain restrictions as described in Note 11 in our 2018 Annual Report.

Income Taxes

Income Tax Expense

For 3Q 2019 and 3Q 2018, we reported income tax expense of $0.4 billion and $0.6 billion, respectively, resulting in effective tax rates of 20.0% and 17.0%, respectively. For YTD 2019 and YTD 2018, we reported income tax expense of $1.2 billion and $1.9 billion, respectively, resulting in effective tax rates of 20.3% and 19.3%, respectively. Our effective tax rates differed from the statutory tax rate of 21% in these periods primarily due to our recognition of low income housing tax credits and tax-exempt interest income.

Deferred Tax Assets, Net

We had net deferred tax assets of $5.8 billion and $6.9 billion as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. At September 30, 2019, our net deferred tax assets consisted primarily of basis differences related to derivative instruments and deferred fees.

Based on all positive and negative evidence available at September 30, 2019, we determined that it is more likely than not that our net deferred tax assets, except for a portion of the deferred tax asset related to our capital loss carryforward, will be realized. As of September 30, 2019, we have a $37 million valuation allowance recorded against our capital loss carryforward deferred tax asset.

Unrecognized Tax Benefits

We evaluated all income tax positions and determined that there were no uncertain tax positions that required reserves as of September 30, 2019.

We are under IRS examination for tax years 2013 through 2016 related to the carryback of 2016 capital losses to the prior three years.

Segment Reporting

We have three reportable segments, which are based on the type of business activities each performs - Single-family Guarantee, Multifamily, and Capital Markets. Material corporate-level activities that are infrequent in nature and based on decisions outside the control of the management of our reportable segments are included in the All Other category. For more information, see our 2018 Annual Report.

Segment Earnings

We present Segment Earnings by reclassifying certain credit guarantee-related activities and investment-related activities between various line items on our GAAP condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income and allocating certain revenues and expenses, including certain returns on assets, funding and hedging costs, and administrative expenses, to our three reportable segments.

We do not consider our assets by segment when evaluating segment performance or allocating resources. We operate our business in the United States and its territories, and accordingly, we generate no revenue from and have no long-lived assets, other than financial instruments, in geographic locations other than the United States and its territories.

We evaluate segment performance and allocate resources based on a Segment Earnings approach, subject to the conduct of our business under the direction of the Conservator. See Note 2 for information about the conservatorship.

Credit Performance of Certain Higher Risk Single-Family Loan Categories

Participants in the mortgage market have characterized single-family loans based upon their overall credit quality at the time of origination, including as prime or subprime. Mortgage market participants have classified single-family loans as Alt-A if these loans have credit characteristics that range between their prime and subprime categories, if they are underwritten with lower or alternative income or asset documentation requirements compared to a full documentation loan, or both. Although we discontinued new purchases of loans with lower documentation standards beginning March 1, 2009, we continued to purchase certain amounts of these loans in cases where the loan was either:


n	Purchased pursuant to a previously issued other mortgage-related guarantee;


n	Part of our relief refinance initiative; or


n	In another refinance loan initiative and the pre-existing loan (including Alt-A loans) was originated under less than full documentation standards.



Freddie Mac Form 10-Q		101



Financial Statements	Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements \| Note 14

In the event we purchase a refinance loan and the original loan had been previously identified as Alt-A, such refinance loan may no longer be categorized or reported as Alt-A in the table below because the new refinance loan replacing the original loan would not be identified by the seller/servicer as an Alt-A loan. As a result, our reported Alt-A balances may be lower than would otherwise be the case had such refinancing not occurred.

Although we do not categorize single-family loans we purchase or guarantee as prime or subprime, we recognize that there are a number of loan types with certain characteristics that indicate a higher degree of credit risk.

For example, a borrower's credit score is a useful measure for assessing the credit quality of the borrower. Statistically, borrowers with higher credit scores are more likely to repay or have the ability to refinance than those with lower scores.

Presented below is a summary of the serious delinquency rates of certain higher-risk categories (based on characteristics of the loan at origination) of loans in our single-family credit guarantee portfolio. The table includes a presentation of each higher-risk category in isolation. A single loan may fall within more than one category (for example, an interest-only loan may also have an original LTV ratio greater than 90%). Loans with a combination of these attributes will have an even higher risk of delinquency than those with an individual attribute.

Sellers and Servicers

Sellers

We acquire a significant portion of our single-family and multifamily loan purchase volume from several large sellers. The tables below summarize the concentration of single-family and multifamily sellers who provided 10% or more of our purchase volume during YTD 2019 or YTD 2018.

(1)	Sellers presented based on those with the highest percentage of purchase volume during YTD 2019.

In recent years, there has been a shift in our single-family purchase volume from depository institutions to non-depository and smaller depository financial institutions. Some of these non-depository sellers have grown in recent years, and we purchase a significant share of our loans from them. Our top five non-depository sellers provided approximately 26% and 22% of our single-family purchase volume during YTD 2019 and YTD 2018, respectively.

Servicers

Significant portions of our single-family and multifamily loans are serviced by several large servicers. The tables below summarize the concentration of single-family and multifamily servicers who serviced 10% or more of our single-family credit guarantee portfolio and our multifamily mortgage portfolio as of September 30, 2019 or December 31, 2018. For purposes of determining the concentration of servicers in the tables below, our multifamily mortgage portfolio excludes loans underlying multifamily securitizations where we are not in first loss position, primarily K Certificates and SB Certificates.

(1)

Percentage of servicing volume is based on the total single-family credit guarantee portfolio, which includes loans where we do not exercise servicing control. However, loans where we do not exercise servicing control are not included for purposes of determining the concentration of servicers who serviced more than 10% of our single-family credit guarantee portfolio because we do not know which entity serves as the primary servicer for such loans.


(2)	Servicers presented based on those with the highest percentage of servicing volume as of September 30, 2019.

In recent years, there has been a shift in our single-family servicing from depository institutions to non-depository servicers. Some of these non-depository servicers have grown in recent years and now service a large share of our loans. As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, approximately 18% and 16%, respectively, of our single-family credit guarantee portfolio was serviced by our top five non-depository servicers. We actively manage the performance of our largest non-depository servicers. Additionally, as part of our efforts on home ownership retention and loss mitigation, we have been consolidating a portion of our default servicing with Freddie Mac selected specialty servicers.

Credit Enhancement Providers

We have counterparty credit risk relating to the potential insolvency of, or non-performance by, mortgage insurers that insure single-family loans we purchase or guarantee. We also have similar exposure to insurers and reinsurers through our ACIS transactions where we purchase insurance policies as part of our CRT activities.

In March 2019, we implemented a set of revised Private Mortgage Insurer Eligibility Requirements (PMIERs) with enhancements to the risk-based capital requirements for mortgage insurers. In addition, we revised master policies with mortgage insurers which provide contract certainty and improve our ability to collect claims for mortgage insurance obligations. These policies were approved by FHFA and are expected to become effective during 2020.

We evaluate the recovery and collectability from mortgage insurers as part of the estimate of our allowance for credit losses. See Note 4 for additional information. As of September 30, 2019, mortgage insurers provided coverage with maximum loss limits of $105.2 billion, for $411.0 billion of UPB, in connection with our single-family credit guarantee portfolio. These amounts are based on gross coverage without regard to netting of coverage that may exist to the extent an affected loan is covered under both primary and pool insurance.

The table below summarizes the concentration of mortgage insurer counterparties who provided 10% or more of our overall mortgage insurance coverage. On October 23, 2016, Genworth Financial, Inc. announced that it had entered into an agreement to be acquired by China Oceanwide Holdings Group Co., Ltd. Because Genworth Mortgage Insurance Corporation, a subsidiary of Genworth Financial, Inc., is an approved mortgage insurer, Freddie Mac has evaluated the planned acquisition and approved China Oceanwide Holdings Group's control of Genworth Mortgage Insurance Corporation. Regulatory and other approvals of the acquisition are still pending.

Financial Statements	Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements \| Note 14

We received proceeds of $0.1 billion and $0.2 billion during YTD 2019 and YTD 2018, respectively, from our primary and pool mortgage insurance policies for recovery of losses on our single-family loans. We had outstanding receivables from mortgage insurers of $0.1 billion (excluding deferred payment obligations associated with unpaid claim amounts) as of both September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The balance of these receivables, net of associated reserves, was approximately $0.1 billion at both September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

PMI Mortgage Insurance Co. and Triad Guaranty Insurance Corp. are both under the control of their state regulators and are in run-off. A substantial portion of their claims is recorded by us as deferred payment obligations. As of both September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we had cumulative unpaid deferred payment obligations of $0.5 billion from these insurers. We have reserved substantially all of these unpaid amounts as collectability is uncertain. It is not clear how the regulators of these companies will administer their respective deferred payment plans in the future, nor when or if those obligations will be paid.

As part of our ACIS and other CRT transactions, we regularly obtain insurance coverage from insurers and reinsurers. These transactions incorporate several features designed to increase the likelihood that we will recover on the claims we file with the insurers and reinsurers, including the following:


n	In each transaction, we require the individual insurers and reinsurers to post collateral to cover portions of their exposure, which helps to promote certainty and timeliness of claim payment and


n	While private mortgage insurance companies are required to be monoline (i.e., to participate solely in the mortgage insurance business, although the holding company may be a diversified insurer), many of our insurers and reinsurers in these transactions participate in multiple types of insurance business, which helps diversify their risk exposure.

Other Investments Counterparties

We are exposed to the non-performance of counterparties relating to other investments (including non-mortgage-related securities and cash equivalents) transactions, including those entered into on behalf of our securitization trusts. Our policies require that the counterparty be evaluated using our internal counterparty rating model prior to our entering into such transactions. We monitor the financial strength of our counterparties to these transactions and may use collateral maintenance requirements to manage our exposure to individual counterparties. The permitted term and dollar limits for each of these transactions are also based on the counterparty's financial strength.

Our other investments (including non-mortgage-related securities and cash equivalents) counterparties are primarily major financial institutions, including other GSEs, Treasury, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, GSD/FICC, highly-rated supranational institutions, depository and non-depository institutions, brokers and dealers, and government money market funds. As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, including amounts related to our consolidated VIEs, the balance in our other investments was $89.6 billion and $63.1 billion, respectively. The balances consist primarily of cash and securities purchased under agreements to resell invested with counterparties, U.S. Treasury securities, cash deposited with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, and secured lending activities. As of September 30, 2019, all of our securities purchased under agreements to resell were fully collateralized. As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, $2.2 billion and $2.5 billion of our securities purchased under agreements to resell were used to provide financing to investors in Freddie Mac securities to increase liquidity and expand the investor base for those securities. These transactions differ from the securities purchased under agreements to resell that we use for liquidity purposes as the counterparties we face may not be major financial institutions and we are exposed to the counterparty risk of these institutions.

NOTE 15

Fair Value Disclosures

The accounting guidance for fair value measurements and disclosures defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and sets forth disclosure requirements regarding fair value measurements. This guidance applies whenever other accounting guidance requires or permits assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value. Fair value represents the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either in the principal market for the asset or liability, or, in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability.

We use fair value measurements for the initial recording of certain assets and liabilities and periodic remeasurement of certain assets and liabilities on a recurring or non-recurring basis.

Fair Value Measurements

The accounting guidance for fair value measurements and disclosures establishes a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs into the valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The levels of the fair value hierarchy are defined as follows in priority order:


n	Level 1 - inputs to the valuation techniques are based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.


n	Level 2 - inputs to the valuation techniques are based on observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.


n	Level 3 - one or more inputs to the valuation technique are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

We use quoted market prices and valuation techniques that seek to maximize the use of observable inputs, where available, and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Our inputs are based on the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability. Assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety within the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The tables below present our assets and liabilities measured on our condensed consolidated balance sheets at fair value on a recurring basis subsequent to initial recognition, including instruments where we have elected the fair value option.

Transfers out of Level 3 during 3Q 2019 and YTD 2019 and 3Q 2018 and YTD 2018 consisted primarily of certain mortgage-related securities due to an increased volume and level of activity in the market and availability of price quotes from dealers and third-party pricing services. Certain Freddie Mac securities are classified as Level 3 at issuance and generally are classified as Level 2 when they begin trading. Transfers into Level 3 during 3Q 2019 and YTD 2019 and 3Q 2018 and YTD 2018 consisted primarily of certain mortgage-related securities due to a decrease in market activity and the availability of relevant price quotes from dealers and third-party pricing services.

Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis

We may be required, from time to time, to measure certain assets at fair value on a non-recurring basis. These adjustments usually result from the application of lower-of-cost-or-fair-value accounting or measurement of impairment based on the fair value of the underlying collateral. Certain of the fair values in the tables below were not obtained as of the period end, but were obtained during the period.

The table below presents assets measured on our condensed consolidated balance sheets at fair value on a non-recurring basis.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The tables below present the carrying value and estimated fair value of our financial instruments. For certain types of financial instruments, such as cash and cash equivalents, securities purchased under agreements to resell, secured lending and other, and certain debt, the carrying value on our GAAP balance sheets approximates fair value, as these assets and liabilities are short-term in nature and have limited fair value volatility.

NOTE 16

Legal Contingencies

We are involved as a party in a variety of legal and regulatory proceedings arising from time to time in the ordinary course of business including, among other things, contractual disputes, personal injury claims, employment-related litigation, and other legal proceedings incidental to our business. We are frequently involved, directly or indirectly, in litigation involving mortgage foreclosures. From time to time, we are also involved in proceedings arising from our termination of a seller's or servicer's eligibility to sell loans to, and/or service loans for, us. In these cases, the former seller or servicer sometimes seeks damages against us for wrongful termination under a variety of legal theories. In addition, we are sometimes sued in connection with the origination or servicing of loans. These suits typically involve claims alleging wrongful actions of sellers and servicers. Our contracts with our sellers and servicers generally provide for indemnification of Freddie Mac against liability arising from sellers' and servicers' wrongful actions with respect to loans sold to or serviced for Freddie Mac.

Litigation and claims resolution are subject to many uncertainties and are not susceptible to accurate prediction. In accordance with the accounting guidance for contingencies, we reserve for litigation claims and assessments asserted or threatened against us when a loss is probable (as defined in such guidance) and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated.

Putative Securities Class Action Lawsuit: Ohio Public Employees Retirement System vs. Freddie Mac, Syron, Et Al.

This putative securities class action lawsuit was filed against Freddie Mac and certain former officers on January 18, 2008 in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Ohio purportedly on behalf of a class of purchasers of Freddie Mac stock from August 1, 2006 through November 20, 2007. FHFA later intervened as Conservator, and the plaintiff amended its complaint on several occasions. The plaintiff alleged, among other things, that the defendants violated federal securities laws by making false and misleading statements concerning our business, risk management, and the procedures we put into place to protect the company from problems in the mortgage industry. The plaintiff seeks unspecified damages and interest, and reasonable costs and expenses, including attorney and expert fees.

In October 2013, defendants filed motions to dismiss the complaint. In October 2014, the District Court granted defendants' motions and dismissed the case in its entirety against all defendants, with prejudice. In November 2014, plaintiff filed a notice of appeal in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit. On July 20, 2016, the Court of Appeals reversed the District Court's dismissal and remanded the case to the District Court for further proceedings. On August 14, 2018, the District Court denied the plaintiff's motion for class certification. On January 23, 2019, the Court of Appeals denied plaintiff's petition for leave to appeal that decision.

At present, it is not possible for us to predict the probable outcome of this lawsuit or any potential effect on our business, financial condition, liquidity, or results of operations. In addition, we are unable to reasonably estimate the possible loss or range of possible loss in the event of an adverse judgment in the foregoing matter due to the following factors, among others: pre-trial litigation is inherently uncertain; while the District Court denied plaintiff's motion for class certification, this denial may be appealed upon the entry of final judgment; and the District Court has not yet ruled upon motions for summary judgment. In particular, absent a final resolution of whether a class will be certified, the identification of a class if one is certified, and the identification of the alleged statement or statements that survive dispositive motions, we cannot reasonably estimate any possible loss or range of possible loss.

LIBOR Lawsuit

On March 14, 2013, Freddie Mac filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia against the British Bankers Association and the 16 U.S. Dollar LIBOR panel banks and a number of their affiliates. The case was subsequently transferred to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. The complaint alleges, among other things, that the defendants fraudulently and collusively depressed LIBOR, a benchmark interest rate indexed to trillions of dollars of financial products, and asserts claims for antitrust violations, breach of contract, tortious interference with contract, and fraud. Freddie Mac filed an amended complaint in July 2013, and a second amended complaint in October 2014. In August 2015, the District Court dismissed the portion of our claim related to antitrust violations and fraud and we filed a motion for reconsideration. On March 31, 2016, the District Court granted a portion of our motion, finding personal jurisdiction over certain defendants, and denied the portion of our motion with respect to statutes of limitation for our fraud claims. Subsequently, in a related case, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit reversed the District Court's dismissal of certain plaintiffs' antitrust claims and remanded the case to the District Court for consideration of whether, among other things, the plaintiffs are "efficient enforcers" of the antitrust laws.



Freddie Mac Form 10-Q		118



Financial Statements	Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements \| Note 16

On December 20, 2016, after briefing and argument on the defendants' renewed motions to dismiss on personal jurisdiction and efficient enforcer grounds, the District Court denied defendants' motions in part and granted them in part. The District Court held that Freddie Mac is an efficient enforcer of the antitrust laws, but dismissed on personal jurisdiction grounds Freddie Mac's antitrust claims against all defendants except HSBC USA, N.A. Then, in an order issued February 2, 2017, the District Court effectively dismissed Freddie Mac's remaining antitrust claim against HSBC USA, N.A. At present, Freddie Mac's breach of contract actions against Bank of America, N.A., Barclays Bank, Citibank, N.A., Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank, Royal Bank of Scotland, and UBS AG are its only claims remaining in the District Court.

On February 23, 2018, the Second Circuit reversed the District Court's dismissal of certain plaintiffs' state law fraud and unjust enrichment claims on statutes of limitations grounds. While Freddie Mac was not a party to the appeal, this decision could have the effect of reinstating Freddie Mac's fraud claims against the above-named defendants. The Second Circuit also reversed certain aspects of the District Court's personal jurisdiction rulings and remanded with instructions to allow the named appellant to amend its complaint. The District Court subsequently granted in part Freddie Mac's motion for leave to amend its complaint, and Freddie Mac amended its complaint on April 16, 2019.

Litigation Concerning the Purchase Agreement

Since July 2013, a number of lawsuits have been filed against us concerning the August 2012 amendment to the Purchase Agreement, which created the net worth sweep dividend provisions of the senior preferred stock. The plaintiffs in the lawsuits allege that they are holders of common stock and/or junior preferred stock issued by Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae. (For purposes of this discussion, junior preferred stock refers to the various series of preferred stock of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae other than the senior preferred stock issued to Treasury.) It is possible that similar lawsuits will be filed in the future. The lawsuits against us are described below.

Litigation in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia

In re Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac Senior Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement Class Action Litigations. This case is the result of the consolidation of three putative class action lawsuits: Cacciapelle and Bareiss vs. Federal National Mortgage Association, Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation and FHFA, filed on July 29, 2013; American European Insurance Company vs. Federal National Mortgage Association, Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation and FHFA, filed on July 30, 2013; and Marneu Holdings, Co. vs. FHFA, Treasury, Federal National Mortgage Association and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, filed on September 18, 2013. (The Marneu case was also filed as a shareholder derivative lawsuit.) A consolidated amended complaint was filed in December 2013. In the consolidated amended complaint, plaintiffs allege, among other items, that the August 2012 amendment to the Purchase Agreement breached Freddie Mac's and Fannie Mae's respective contracts with the holders of junior preferred stock and common stock and the covenant of good faith and fair dealing inherent in such contracts. Plaintiffs sought unspecified damages, equitable and injunctive relief, and costs and expenses, including attorney and expert fees.

The Cacciapelle and American European Insurance Company lawsuits were filed purportedly on behalf of a class of purchasers of junior preferred stock issued by Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae who held stock prior to, and as of, August 17, 2012. The Marneu lawsuit was filed purportedly on behalf of a class of purchasers of junior preferred stock and purchasers of common stock issued by Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae over a not-yet-defined period of time.

Arrowood Indemnity Company vs. Federal National Mortgage Association, Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, FHFA, and Treasury. This case was filed on September 20, 2013. The allegations and demands made by plaintiffs in this case were generally similar to those made by the plaintiffs in the In re Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac Senior Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement Class Action Litigations case described above. Plaintiffs in the Arrowood lawsuit also requested that, if injunctive relief were not granted, the Arrowood plaintiffs be awarded damages against the defendants in an amount to be determined including, but not limited to, the aggregate par value of their junior preferred stock, the total of which they stated to be approximately $42 million.

American European Insurance Company, Cacciapelle, and Miller vs. Treasury and FHFA. This case was filed as a shareholder derivative lawsuit, purportedly on behalf of Freddie Mac as a "nominal" defendant, on July 30, 2014. The complaint alleged that, through the August 2012 amendment to the Purchase Agreement, Treasury and FHFA breached their respective fiduciary duties to Freddie Mac, causing Freddie Mac to suffer damages. The plaintiffs asked that Freddie Mac be awarded compensatory damages and disgorgement, as well as attorneys' fees, costs, and other expenses.

FHFA, joined by Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, moved to dismiss the In re Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac Senior Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement Class Action Litigations case and the other related cases in January 2014. Treasury filed a motion to dismiss the same day. In September 2014, the District Court granted the motions and dismissed the plaintiffs' claims. All plaintiffs appealed that decision, and on February 21, 2017, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit affirmed in part and remanded in part the decision granting the motions to dismiss. The Court of Appeals affirmed dismissal of all claims except certain claims seeking monetary damages for breach of contract and breach of implied duty of good faith and fair dealing. In March 2017, certain institutional and class plaintiffs filed petitions for panel rehearing with respect to certain



Freddie Mac Form 10-Q		119



Financial Statements	Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements \| Note 16

claims. On July 17, 2017, the Court of Appeals granted the petitions for rehearing and issued a modified decision, which permitted the institutional plaintiffs to pursue the breach of contract and breach of implied duty of good faith and fair dealing claims that had been remanded. The Court of Appeals also removed language related to the standard to be applied to the implied duty claims, leaving that issue for the District Court to determine on remand. On October 16, 2017, certain institutional and class plaintiffs filed petitions for a writ of certiorari in the U.S. Supreme Court challenging whether HERA's prohibition on injunctive relief against FHFA bars judicial review of the net worth sweep dividend provisions of the August 2012 amendment to the Purchase Agreement, as well as whether HERA bars shareholders from pursuing derivative litigation where they allege the conservator faces a conflict of interest. The Supreme Court denied the petitions on February 20, 2018. On November 1, 2017, certain institutional and class plaintiffs and plaintiffs in another case in which Freddie Mac was not originally a defendant, Fairholme Funds, Inc. v. FHFA, Treasury, and Federal National Mortgage Association, filed proposed amended complaints in the District Court. Each of the proposed amended complaints names Freddie Mac as a defendant for breach of contract and breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing claims as well as for new claims alleging breach of fiduciary duty and breach of Virginia corporate law. On January 10, 2018, FHFA, Freddie Mac, and Fannie Mae moved to dismiss the amended complaints. On September 28, 2018, the District Court dismissed all of the claims except those alleging breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing. Discovery is ongoing.

Angel vs. The Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation et al. This case was filed pro se on May 21, 2018 against Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae, certain current and former directors of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, and FHFA as a nominal defendant. The complaint alleged, among other things, breach of contract, breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, and that defendants aided and abetted the government's "avoidance" of plaintiff's dividend rights. On March 6, 2019, the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia granted the defendants' motion to dismiss the case. On March 18, 2019, Mr. Angel filed a motion seeking to alter or amend the judgment and for leave to file an amended complaint. On May 24, 2019, the District Court denied Mr. Angel's motion, and on June 19, 2019, Mr. Angel filed a notice of appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.

Litigation in the U.S. Court of Federal Claims

Reid and Fisher vs. the United States of America and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation. This case was filed as a derivative lawsuit, purportedly on behalf of Freddie Mac as a "nominal" defendant, on February 26, 2014. The complaint alleges, among other items, that the net worth sweep dividend provisions of the senior preferred stock constitute an unlawful taking of private property for public use without just compensation. The plaintiffs ask that Freddie Mac be awarded just compensation for the U.S. government's alleged taking of its property, attorneys' fees, costs, and other expenses. On March 8, 2018, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint under seal, with a redacted copy filed on November 14, 2018. Defendants filed a motion to dismiss on August 1, 2018 and an amended motion to dismiss on October 1, 2018.

Fairholme Funds, Inc., et al. vs. the United States of America, Federal National Mortgage Association, and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation. This case was originally filed on July 9, 2013 against the United States of America. On March 8, 2018, plaintiffs filed an amended complaint under seal. A redacted public version was filed on May 11, 2018 and adds Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae as nominal defendants. The amended complaint alleges, among other items, that the net worth sweep dividend provisions of the senior preferred stock constitute an unlawful taking or exaction of private property for public use without just compensation, and that by enacting the net worth sweep, the government breached the fiduciary duty it owed to Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, and implied-in-fact contracts between the United States on the one hand and Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae on the other. The plaintiffs ask that plaintiffs, Freddie Mac, and Fannie Mae be awarded (1) just compensation for the government's alleged taking or exaction of their property, (2) damages for the government's breach of fiduciary duties, and (3) damages for the government's breach of the alleged implied-in-fact contracts. In addition, plaintiffs seek pre- and post-judgment interest, attorneys' fees, costs, and other expenses. Defendants filed a motion to dismiss on August 1, 2018 and an amended motion to dismiss on October 1, 2018.

Perry Capital LLC vs. the United States of America, Federal National Mortgage Association, and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation. This case was filed as a derivative lawsuit, purportedly on behalf of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae as "nominal" defendants, on August 15, 2018. The complaint alleges, among other items, that the net worth sweep dividend provisions of the senior preferred stock constitute an unlawful taking of private property for public use without just compensation or an illegal exaction in violation of the Fifth Amendment, and that by enacting the net worth sweep, the government breached the fiduciary duty it owed to Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, and implied-in-fact contracts between the United States on the one hand and Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae on the other. The plaintiffs ask that plaintiffs, Freddie Mac, and Fannie Mae be awarded just compensation for the government's alleged taking of their property or damages for the illegal exaction; damages for the government's breach of fiduciary duties; and damages for the government's breach of the alleged implied-in-fact contracts. The proceedings have been stayed pending a ruling on defendants' motion to dismiss in the Fairholme Funds, Inc. litigation.

At present, it is not possible for us to predict the probable outcome of the lawsuits discussed above in the U.S. District Courts and the U.S. Court of Federal Claims (including the outcome of any appeal) or any potential effect on our business, financial condition, liquidity, or results of operations. In addition, we are unable to reasonably estimate the possible loss or range of possible loss in the event of an adverse judgment in the foregoing matters due to a number of factors, including the inherent uncertainty of pre-trial litigation. In addition, with respect to the In re Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac Senior Preferred Stock Purchase

Agreement Class Action Litigations case, the plaintiffs have not demanded a stated amount of damages they believe are due, and the Court has not certified a class.

Regulatory Capital

In October 2008, FHFA announced that it was suspending capital classification of us during conservatorship in light of the Purchase Agreement. FHFA continues to monitor our capital levels, but the existing statutory and FHFA regulatory capital requirements are not binding during conservatorship.

We continue to provide quarterly submissions to FHFA on minimum capital. The table below summarizes our minimum capital requirements and deficits and net worth.

Table 17.1 - Net Worth and Minimum Capital

Minimum capital surplus (deficit)⁽¹⁾		($85,373	)		($85,589	)


(1)	Core capital and minimum capital figures are estimates and represent amounts submitted to FHFA. FHFA is the authoritative source for our regulatory capital.


(2)	Core capital excludes certain components of GAAP total equity (i.e., AOCI and the liquidation preference of the senior preferred stock) as these items do not meet the statutory definition of core capital.

In May 2017, FHFA, as Conservator, issued guidance to us to evaluate and manage our financial risk and to make economic business decisions, while in conservatorship, utilizing a newly-developed risk-based CCF, an economic capital system with detailed formulae provided by FHFA. We use the CCF to measure risk for making economically effective decisions. We are required to submit quarterly reports to FHFA related to the CCF requirements.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are involved as a party to a variety of legal proceedings. For more information, see Note 16 in this Form 10-Q and our 2018 Annual Report.

In addition, a number of lawsuits have been filed against the U.S. government related to the conservatorship and the Purchase Agreement. Some of these cases also have challenged the constitutionality of the structure of FHFA. For information on these lawsuits, see the Legal Proceedings section in our 2018 Annual Report. One such case, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas, was appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. On September 6, 2019, the Fifth Circuit, en banc, held that the plaintiffs plausibly alleged that FHFA exceeded its conservator powers by transferring Freddie Mac's future value (i.e., profits via the net worth sweep) to a single shareholder, Treasury, and remanded that cause of action to the District Court. The Fifth Circuit also held that the "for cause" removal provision for the director of FHFA was unconstitutional, and that the provision should be struck from the statute. On September 25, 2019, the plaintiffs filed a petition for writ of certiorari to the U.S. Supreme Court seeking review of the Fifth Circuit’s decision. On October 25, 2019, the defendants also filed a petition for writ of certiorari seeking review of the Fifth Circuit's decision. Freddie Mac is not a party to any of these lawsuits.

RISK FACTORS

This Form 10-Q should be read together with the Risk Factors section in our 2018 Annual Report and in our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2019, which describe various risks and uncertainties to which we are or may become subject. These risks and uncertainties could, directly or indirectly, adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, strategies, and/or prospects.

UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

The securities we issue are "exempted securities" under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. As a result, we do not file registration statements with the SEC with respect to offerings of our securities.

Following our entry into conservatorship, we suspended the operation of, and ceased making grants under, equity compensation plans. Previously, we had provided equity compensation under those plans to employees and members of the Board of Directors. Under the Purchase Agreement, we cannot issue any new options, rights to purchase, participations, or other equity interests without Treasury's prior approval. However, grants outstanding as of the date of the Purchase Agreement remain in effect in accordance with their terms.

Information About Certain Securities Issuances by Freddie Mac

We make available, free of charge through our website at www.freddiemac.com, our annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K, and all other SEC reports and amendments to those reports as soon as reasonably practicable after we electronically file the material with the SEC. The SEC also maintains an internet site (www.sec.gov) that contains reports, proxy and information statements, and other information regarding companies that file electronically with the SEC.

We provide disclosure about our debt securities on our website at www.freddiemac.com/debt. From this address, investors can access the offering circular and related supplements for debt securities offerings under Freddie Mac's global debt facility, including pricing supplements for individual issuances of debt securities. Similar information about our STACR transactions and SCR notes is available at crt.freddiemac.com and mf.freddiemac.com/investors, respectively.

We provide disclosure about our mortgage-related securities, some of which are off-balance sheet obligations (e.g., K Certificates and SB Certificates), on our website at www.freddiemac.com/mbs. From this address, investors can access information and documents, including offering circulars and offering circular supplements, for mortgage-related securities offerings.

We provide additional information, including product descriptions, investor presentations, securities issuance calendars, transactions volumes and details, redemption notices, Freddie Mac research, and material developments or other events that

OTHER INFORMATION

Executive Management Compensation Program For 2020

As discussed in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on August 27, 2019, FHFA, acting as Conservator, directed Freddie Mac to make specified changes to our executive compensation program for so long as we are in conservatorship, including increasing the mandatory deferral period for at-risk deferred salary for named executive officers, other than our Chief Executive Officer, from one year to two years and limiting base salaries for all employees, including named executive officers, to $600,000. Our Chief Executive Officer does not receive deferred salary, and therefore his compensation was not affected by this change. We have revised our executive management compensation program accordingly.

Controls and Procedures

EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that the information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC's rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management of the company, including the company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing our disclosure controls and procedures, we recognize that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and we must apply judgment in implementing possible controls and procedures.

Management, including the company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2019. As a result of management's evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2019, at a reasonable level of assurance, because we have not been able to update our disclosure controls and procedures to provide reasonable assurance that information known by FHFA on an ongoing basis is communicated from FHFA to Freddie Mac's management in a manner that allows for timely decisions regarding our required disclosure under the federal securities laws. We consider this situation to be a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting.

CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING DURING 3Q 2019

We evaluated the changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during 3Q 2019 and concluded that there were no changes that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

MITIGATING ACTIONS RELATED TO THE MATERIAL WEAKNESS IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

As described above under Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures, we have one material weakness in internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2019 that we have not remediated.

Given the structural nature of this material weakness, we believe it is likely that we will not remediate it while we are under conservatorship. However, both we and FHFA have continued to engage in activities and employ procedures and practices intended to permit accumulation and communication to management of information needed to meet our disclosure obligations under the federal securities laws. These include the following:


n	FHFA has established the Division of Conservatorship, which is intended to facilitate operation of the company with the oversight of the Conservator.


n	We provide drafts of our SEC filings to FHFA personnel for their review and comment prior to filing. We also provide drafts of external press releases, statements, and certain speeches to FHFA personnel for their review and comment prior to release.

FHFA personnel, including senior officials, review our SEC filings prior to filing, including this Form 10-Q, and engage in discussions with us regarding issues associated with the information contained in those filings. Prior to filing this Form 10-Q, FHFA provided us with a written acknowledgment that it had reviewed the Form 10-Q, was not aware of any material misstatements or omissions in the Form 10-Q, and had no objection to our filing the Form 10-Q.


n	The Director of FHFA is in frequent communication with our Chief Executive Officer, typically meeting (in person or by phone) on at least a bi-weekly basis.


n	FHFA representatives attend meetings frequently with various groups within the company to enhance the flow of information and to provide oversight on a variety of matters, including accounting, credit and capital markets management, external communications, and legal matters.



Freddie Mac Form 10-Q		126

Controls and Procedures


n	Senior officials within FHFA's accounting group meet frequently with our senior financial executives regarding our accounting policies, practices, and procedures.

In view of our mitigating actions related to this material weakness, we believe that our condensed consolidated financial statements for 3Q 2019 have been prepared in conformity with GAAP.
