ENDNOTES
(1) The activity and balances set forth in this table represent
contractual amounts of unpaid principal balances, which are measures that
differ from the balance of the retained portfolio as calculated in conformity
with GAAP, and exclude mortgage loans and mortgage-related securities traded,
but not yet settled. The retained portfolio amounts set forth in this report
exclude premiums, discounts, deferred fees and other basis adjustments, the
allowance for loan losses on mortgage loans held-for-investment, and
unrealized gains or losses on mortgage-related securities that are reflected
in our retained portfolio under GAAP.
(2) Total mortgage portfolio (Table 1) is defined as total guaranteed PCs
and Structured Securities issued (Table 4) plus the sum of mortgage loans
(Table 3) and non-Freddie Mac mortgage-related securities (agency and non-
agency) (Table 3).
(3) Total mortgage portfolio Purchases and Issuances (Table 1) is defined
as retained portfolio purchases (Table 2) plus total guaranteed PCs and
Structured Securities issued (Table 4) less purchases into the retained
portfolio.
(4) Includes: (a) sales of non-Freddie Mac mortgage-related securities
from our retained portfolio and (b) sales of multifamily mortgage loans from
our retained portfolio. Excludes the transfer of single-family mortgage loans
through transactions that qualify as sales and all transfers through swap-
based exchanges.
(5) Effective December 2007, we established securitization trusts for the
underlying assets of our guaranteed PCs and Structured Securities issued. As a
result, we adjusted the reported balance of our mortgage portfolio to reflect
the publicly-available security balances of guaranteed PCs and Structured
Securities. Previously we reported these balances based on the unpaid
principal balance of the underlying mortgage loans. Our reported annualized
growth rate and annualized liquidation rate for the month of December 2007 and
full-year 2007 presented in Tables 1, 2, and 4 are affected by this reporting
change.
(6) Issuances and liquidations for the nine months ended September 30,
2008 include approximately $18.8 billion of conversions of previously issued
long-term credit guarantees into either PCs or Structured Transactions. These
conversion amounts, based on the unpaid principal balance of the single-family
mortgage loans, are included in liquidations, representing the termination of
the original agreement and, in the same month, are included in issuances,
representing the new securities issued. Excluding these conversions, the
amount of our issuances for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 would
have been $295 billion in Table 4 and the liquidation rates for the nine
months ended September 30, 2008 in Tables 1 and 4 would have been 15.3% and
15.3%, respectively. As of September 30, 2008 the ending balance of our PCs
and Structured Securities, excluding outstanding long-term credit guarantees
would have been $1,822 billion in Table 4.
(7) Single-family mortgage loans purchased for cash are reported net of
transfers of such mortgage loans through transactions that qualify as sales
under GAAP as well as all transfers through swap-based exchanges.
(8) See Endnote 4. Also includes: (a) net additions to our retained
portfolio for delinquent mortgage loans purchased out of PC pools, (b) balloon
reset mortgages purchased out of PC pools and (c) transfers of our PCs and
Structured Securities from our retained portfolio reported as sales.
(9) Mortgage purchases and sales agreements reflects trades entered into
during the month and includes: (a) monthly commitments to purchase mortgage-
related securities for our retained portfolio offset by monthly commitments to
sell mortgage-related securities out of our retained portfolio during the
month and (b) the net amount of monthly mortgage loan purchases and sales
agreements entered into during the month. Substantially all of these
commitments are settled by delivery of a mortgage-related security or mortgage
loan; the rest are net settled for cash. Mortgage purchases and sales
agreements also includes the net amount of mortgage-related securities that we
expect to purchase or sell pursuant to written and purchased options entered
into during the month for which we expect to take or make delivery of the
securities. In some instances, commitments may settle during the same period
in which we have entered into the related commitment.
(10) Includes PCs, Structured Securities and tax-exempt multifamily
housing revenue bonds for which we provide a guarantee, as well as credit-
related commitments with respect to single-family mortgage loans held by third
parties. Excludes Structured Securities where we have resecuritized our PCs
and Structured Securities. Resecuritized securities do not increase our
credit-related exposure and consist of single-class Structured Securities
backed by PCs, Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduits (REMICs) and
principal-only strips. Notional balances of interest-only strips are excluded
because this table is based on unpaid principal balance. Some of the
excluded REMICs are modifiable and combinable REMIC tranches, where the holder
has the option to exchange the security tranches for other pre-defined
security tranches. Additional information concerning our guarantees issued
through resecuritization can be found in our Registration Statement on Form
10, dated July 18, 2008.
(11) Represents principal repayments relating to PCs and Structured
Securities including those backed by non-Freddie Mac mortgage-related
securities and relating to securities issued by others and single-family
mortgage loans held by third parties that we guarantee. Also includes our
purchases of delinquent mortgage loans and balloon reset mortgage loans out of
PC pools.
(12) Represents the combined balance and activity of our senior and
subordinated debt based on the par values of these liabilities.
(13) Single-family delinquencies are based on the number of mortgages 90
days or more delinquent or in foreclosure as of period end while multifamily
delinquencies are based on net carrying value of mortgages 90 days or more
delinquent or in foreclosure as of period end. Delinquency rates presented in
Table 6 exclude mortgage loans underlying Structured Transactions and PCs
backed by Ginnie Mae Certificates as well as mortgage loans whose original
contractual terms have been modified under an agreement with the borrower as
long as the borrower is less than 90 days delinquent under the modified
contractual terms. Structured Transactions typically have underlying mortgage
loans with a variety of risk characteristics. Many of these Structured
Transactions have security-level credit protections from losses in addition to
loan-level credit protection that may also exist. Additional information
concerning Structured Transactions can be found in our Registration Statement
on Form 10, dated July 18, 2008.
The unpaid principal balance of our single-family Structured
Transactions at September 30, 2008 was $24.4 billion, representing
approximately 1% of our total mortgage portfolio. Included in this balance is
$1.9 billion that are securitized by FHA/VA loans, for which those agencies
provide recourse for 100% of qualifying losses associated with the loan and
$5.3 billion that are backed by subordinated securities, which benefit from
credit protection from the related subordinated tranches, which we do not
purchase. The remaining $17.2 billion of our Structured Transactions as of
September 30, 2008 are single-class, or pass-through securities, including
$10.0 billion of option ARMs, which do not benefit from structural or other
credit enhancement protections. The delinquency rate for our single-family
Structured Transactions was 6.3% at September 30, 2008. The total single-
family delinquency rate including our Structured Transactions was 1.32% at
September 30, 2008. Below are the delinquency rates of our Structured
Transactions population:
Structured Transactions securitized by: FHA/VA loans 17.8%;
subordinated securities 16.9%; option ARM pass-through securities 6.7%; Other
pass-through securities 0.1%.
Previously reported delinquency data is subject to change to reflect
currently available information. Revisions to previously reported delinquency
rates have not been significant nor have they significantly affected the
overall trend of our single-family "credit enhanced" and "total" delinquency
rates.
(14) Other Investments ending balance consists of our cash and investments
portfolio, which as of September 30, 2008 includes; $50.2 billion of cash and
cash equivalents; $8.0 billion of securities purchased under agreements to
resell; and $10.4 billion of non-mortgage investments, excluding non-mortgage
investment securities traded, but not yet settled. Non-mortgage investments
within this balance are presented at fair value.
(15) Our PMVS and duration gap measures provide useful estimates of key
interest-rate risk and include the impact of our purchases and sales of
derivative instruments, which we use to limit our exposure to changes in
interest rates. Our PMVS measures are estimates of the amount of average
potential pre-tax loss in the market value of our net assets due to parallel
(PMVS-L) and non-parallel (PMVS-YC) changes in London Interbank Offered Rates
(LIBOR). While we believe that our PMVS and duration gap metrics are useful
risk management tools, they should be understood as estimates rather than
precise measurements. Methodologies employed to calculate interest-rate risk
sensitivity disclosures are periodically changed on a prospective basis to
reflect improvements in the underlying estimation processes. For the month of
September, we made changes to update our prepayment and model assumptions
consistent with more current information related to certain securities that
resulted in a decrease of $503 million in PMVS-L, a decrease of $88 million in
PMVS-YC and an increase of one month in duration gap.
