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.

Freddie Mac Form 10-Q 1

Management's Discussion and Analysis Introduction


Comprehensive income for 1Q2Q 2019 was $1.7$1.8 billion, driven by solid business revenues, strong credit quality, minimal impact from market-related items, and continued guarantee portfolio growth.
nComprehensive income decreased 23%$0.6 billion, or 25%, from 1Q2Q 2018, driven by lower net revenues due primarily attributableto a decrease in other income as 2Q 2018 included a gain from a legal judgment, while 2Q 2019 did not include any significant settlements or judgments. In addition, net interest income was lower in 2Q 2019 due to lower net interest incomeamortization related to our guarantee and investments portfolios driven by lower amortization due to lower prepayments on single-family loans and a decline in the balance of our mortgage-related investmentsmortgage-investments portfolio.
nNet revenues increased 2% from 1Q 2018, primarily due to an increase in guarantee fee income and a positive impact from hedge accounting in 1Q 2019, partially offset by the decline in net interest income related to our guarantee and investments portfolios.
nMarket-related items had minimal impact in 1Q2Q 2019. Other non-interest income decreased,declined in 2Q 2019, primarily due to interest-rate related fair value losses on derivatives as long-term interest rates declined, largely offset by fair value gains on multifamily held-for-sale mortgage loans and commitments and gains on trading securities, as well as an increase in other comprehensive income due to interest-rate related fair value gains on available-for-sale securities and the positive hedge accounting impact.securities.
nBenefit (provision) for credit losses remained relatively flat due to the strong credit performance of both our single-family and multifamily portfolios.
Our total equity was $4.7$4.8 billion at March 31,June 30, 2019. Based on the applicable Capital Reserve Amount of $3.0 billion, we will have a dividend requirement to Treasury in JuneSeptember 2019 of $1.7$1.8 billion.
Our cumulative senior preferred stock dividend payments totaled $118.0$119.7 billion as of March 31,June 30, 2019. Under the Purchase Agreement, the payment of dividends does not reduce the outstanding liquidation preference of the senior preferred stock, which remains at $75.6 billion. In addition, the amount of available funding remaining under the Purchase Agreement is $140.2 billion and will be reduced by any future draws.

Freddie Mac Form 10-Q 2

Management's Discussion and Analysis Introduction


Total Guarantee Portfolio
nOur total guarantee portfolio grew $108$109 billion, or 5%, from March 31,June 30, 2018 to March 31,June 30, 2019, driven by a 4% increase in our single-family credit guarantee portfolio and a 14%13% increase in our multifamily guarantee portfolio.
lThe 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 increased 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.
lThe 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
nOur total investments portfolio declined $15$8 billion, or 5%3%, from March 31,June 30, 2018 to March 31,June 30, 2019, primarily due to 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.
Common Securitization Platform and UMBS
On June 3, 2019, we, Fannie Mae, and FHFA announced the implementation of Release 2 of the CSP and the Single Security Initiative for Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, under which we and Fannie Mae began issuing a single (common) security called the UMBS. The objective of the Single Security Initiative is to enhance the overall liquidity of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae securities in the TBA market by supporting their fungibility without regard to which company is the issuer.
Release 2 added to the functionality of the CSP by, among other things, enabling commingling of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae UMBS and other TBA-eligible mortgage securities in resecuritization transactions. The Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association ("SIFMA") also revised its good-delivery guidelines to permit UMBS TBA contracts to be settled by delivery of UMBS issued by either Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae.
In connection with these developments, we extended the payment delay for newly issued fixed-rate mortgage securities from 45 days to 55 days, and on June 3, 2019, we ceased issuing Gold PCs (which have a 45-day payment delay). We also updated our servicer reporting cycle to align with an industry standard monthly calendar cycle and adopted a single common remittance due date for principal and interest payments, excluding payoffs.
We are offering an optional program for security holders to exchange their existing eligible 45-day payment delay Gold PCs and Giant PCs for the corresponding new UMBS and other applicable 55-day payment delay Freddie Mac mortgage securities. As part of the exchange program, we pay exchanging security holders for the value of the 10 additional days of payment delay, based on "float compensation" rates we calculate. During the three months ended June 30, 2019, we issued $33.3 billion in UPB of newly issued UMBS and exchanged $136.1 billion in UPB of 45-day payment delay securities, including securities owned by Freddie Mac, for 55-day payment delay securities. Implementation of Release 2 of the CSP and the Single Security Initiative did not affect our ARM PC offerings.
As part of the June 3, 2019 implementation of Release 2, we entered into an agreement with Fannie Mae regarding the commingling of certain of our mortgage securities under the Single Security Initiative. This agreement provides that Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae will indemnify each other for materially inaccurate or misleading disclosure and for certain adverse events, such as failures to perform obligations as issuer, master servicer, trustee, and guarantor related to the mortgage securities. In May 2019, we entered into an amended customer services agreement with Fannie Mae and CSS, which sets forth the terms and conditions of the mortgage securitization services provided by CSS.
Implementation of Release 2 of the CSP and the Single Security Initiative represents a significant change for the single-family mortgage market and for our business. For additional information, see MD&A - Our Business Segments - Single-Family Guarantee in this Form 10-Qand Risk Factors in this Form 10-Q and our 2018 Annual Report.
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. Our ability to access funds from Treasury under the Purchase Agreement is critical to keeping us solvent and avoiding the appointment of a receiver by FHFA under statutory mandatory receivership provisions. We believe that the

Freddie Mac Form 10-Q3

Management's Discussion and AnalysisIntroduction

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 December 2017 Letter Agreement, the Capital Reserve Amount is $3.0 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, but thiszero. This would not affect our ability to draw funds from Treasury under the Purchase Agreement.

nThe 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 or refinance mortgage with an LTV of 80%. Increases (decreases) in the PMMS rate typically result in decreases (increases) in refinancing activity and originations.
nChanges 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.
nChanges in the 3-month LIBOR rate affect the interest earned on our short-term investments and interest expense on our short-term funding.
nLong-term rates continued to decline during 1Q 2019, while short-term rates remained relatively flat,their recent downward trend, resulting in further inversion of the yield curve. The 10-year LIBOR rate decreased 45 and 76 basis points during 2Q 2019 and YTD 2019, respectively.







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

nChanges in home prices affect the amount of equity that borrowers have in their homes. Borrowers with less equity typically have higher delinquency rates. 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.
nSingle-family home prices increased 1.5%2.7% during 1Q2Q 2019, compared to an increase of 2.5%2.9% during 1Q2Q 2018. We expect home price growth will continue in 2019, although at a slower pace than in full-year 2018, due to increased supply.


















nU.S. single-family loan origination volume decreasedincreased to $355$565 billion in 1Q2Q 2019 from $380$445 billion in 1Q2Q 2018, driven by lowerhigher refinance volume as a result of higherlower average mortgage interest rates in 1Q2Q 2019.

Key Drivers:
nContractual guarantee fee income
l
1Q 2019 vs. 1Q 2018 - Increased primarily due to the continued growth of the core single-family loan portfolio.
nAmortization related to guarantee portfolios
l
1Q 2019 vs. 1Q 2018- Decreased primarily due to lower prepayments on single-family loans as a result of higher average mortgage interest rates.
nContractual net interest income
l
1Q 2019 vs. 1Q 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.
nAmortization related to investments portfolios
l
1Q 2019 vs. 1Q 2018- Decreased primarily due to lower accretion related to previously recognized other-than-temporary impairments as a result of a decline in the population of impaired securities. Amortization related to unsecuritized mortgage loans also decreased, as certain of those loans were reclassified from held-for-investment to held-for-sale and ceased amortizing.
nHedge accounting impact
l
1Q 2019 vs. 1Q 2018 -Increased primarily due to the mismatch related to fair value hedge accounting. The 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.

2Q 2019 vs. 2Q 2018 and YTD 2019 vs. YTD 2018 - Decreased as long-term interest rates declined. The interest rate decreases 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 during 2Q 2019 as we updated our interest-rate risk

Benefit (Provision) for Credit Losses

2Q 2019 vs. 2Q 2018 and YTD 2019 vs. YTD 2018- Remained relatively flat due to the strong credit performance of both our single-family and multifamily portfolios.

Key Drivers:
As of June 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 2Q 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.

OUR BUSINESS SEGMENTS
We have three reportable segments, which are based on the way we manage our business.
n
Single-Family Guarantee - reflectsReflects results from our purchase, securitization, and guarantee of single-family loans and the management of single-family mortgage credit risk.
n
Multifamily - reflectsReflects 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 - reflectsReflects 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.

Single-Family Guarantee
Business Overview

The following provides an update to the corresponding discussion in our 2018 Annual Report.
Products and Activities
Securitization and Guarantee Products
Implementation of Release 2 of the CSP and the Single Security Initiative resulted in changes to certain of our mortgage securities product offerings. Our mortgage securities products after implementation of the Single Security Initiative are described below. Refer to our 2018 Annual Report for more information on single-family products and activities.
Level 1 Securitization Products
n
UMBS - Single-class pass-through securities with a 55-day payment delay for TBA-eligible fixed-rate mortgage loans. We guarantee the timely payment of principal and interest on UMBS that we issue in exchange for a guarantee fee. We began issuing UMBS for all TBA-eligible fixed-rate mortgage loans on June 3, 2019.
n
55-day MBS - Single-class pass-through securities with a 55-day payment delay for non-TBA-eligible fixed-rate mortgage loans. We guarantee the timely payment of principal and interest on 55-day MBS that we issue in exchange for a guarantee fee. We began issuing 55-day MBS for all non-TBA-eligible fixed-rate mortgage loans on June 3, 2019. 
nPCs
l
Gold PCs -Single-class pass-through securities with a 45-day payment delay that we issued for fixed-rate mortgage loans prior to June 3, 2019. With the implementation of Release 2 of the CSP and the Single Security Initiative, we no longer issue Gold PCs. Existing Gold PCs are eligible for exchange into UMBS (for TBA-eligible securities) or 55-day MBS (for non-TBA-eligible securities).
l
ARM PCs - Single-class pass-through securities with a 75-day payment delay for ARM products. Implementation of Release 2 of the CSP and the Single Security Initiative did not affect our ARM PC offerings.
We offer (or previously offered) all of the above products through both guarantor and cash executions. All Level 1 securitization products are backed only by mortgage loans that we have acquired. See MD&A - Our Business Segments - Single-Family Guarantee - Business Overview - Products and Activitiesin our 2018 Annual Report for more information on our guarantor and cash executions.
Resecuritization Products
Similar to our Level 1 securitization products, we guarantee the payment of principal and interest to investors in our resecuritization products. We do not charge a guarantee fee for these securities if we already guarantee the underlying collateral since no additional credit risk is introduced, although we typically receive a transaction fee as compensation for creating the security and performing future administrative responsibilities. Upon implementation of Release 2 of the CSP and the Single Security Initiative, we 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 payment of principal and interest on such products from underlying Fannie Mae securities. If Fannie Mae were to fail to make a payment on a Fannie Mae security that we resecuritized, we would be responsible for making the payment. We do not charge an incremental guarantee fee to commingle Fannie Mae collateral in resecuritization transactions.
We offer the following types of resecuritization products:
n
Single-class resecuritization products - Involve the direct pass-through of all cash flows of the underlying collateral to the beneficial interest holders and include:
l
Supers - Resecuritizations of UMBS and certain other mortgage securities. This structure allows commingling of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae collateral, where newly issued or exchanged UMBS and Supers issued by us or Fannie Mae may be commingled to back Supers issued by us or Fannie Mae. Supers can be backed by:
UMBS and/or other Supers issued by us or Fannie Mae;
Existing TBA-eligible Fannie Mae "MBS" and/or "Megas"; and/or
UMBS and Supers that we have issued in exchange for TBA-eligible PCs and Giant PCs that have been delivered to us in response to our exchange offer.
l
Giant MBS - Resecuritizations of:
Newly issued 55-day MBS and/or Giant MBS; and/or

Freddie Mac Form 10-Q15

Our Business Segments | Single-Family Guarantee

55-day MBS and/or Giant MBS that we have issued in exchange for non-TBA-eligible PCs and non-TBA-eligible Giant PCs that have been delivered to us in response to our exchange offer.
l
Giant PCs - Resecuritizations of previously issued PCs or Giant PCs. Although we no longer issue Gold PCs, existing Gold PCs may continue to be resecuritized into Giant PCs. In addition, ARM PCs may continue to be resecuritized into ARM Giant PCs. Fixed-rate Giant PCs are eligible for exchange into Supers (for TBA-eligible securities) or Giant MBS (for non-TBA-eligible securities).
nMulticlass resecuritization products
l
REMICs - Resecuritizations of previously issued mortgage securities that divide all cash flows of the underlying collateral into two or more classes of varying maturities, payment priorities, and coupons. This structure allows commingling of TBA-eligible Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae collateral.
l
Strips -Resecuritizations of previously issued Level 1 securitization products or single-class resecuritization products and issuance of stripped securities, including principal-only and interest-only securities or floating rate and inverse floating rate securities, backed by the cash flows from the underlying collateral. This structure allows commingling of TBA-eligible Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae collateral.

Single-Family Credit Guarantee Portfolio chart-c9ca88c530e6542681d.jpgchart-bf9046844a225aec8f5.jpg
nThe single-family credit guarantee portfolio increased at an annualized rate of approximately 4% between December 31, 2018 and March 31,June 30, 2019 driven by an increase in U.S. single-family mortgage debt outstanding as a result of continued home price appreciation and our increased 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.
nThe core single-family loan portfolio grew to 83% of the single-family credit guarantee portfolio at March 31,June 30, 2019, compared to 82% at December 31, 2018.
nThe legacy and relief refinance single-family loan portfolio declined to 17% of the single-family credit guarantee portfolio at March 31,June 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.

This decrease was partially offset byrate and an increase in average contractual guarantee fees ascaused by the run off of older vintages were replaced by acquisitions of new loans with higherlower contractual guarantee fees.
nThe average guarantee fee rate charged on new acquisitions remained unchanged in 1Q 2019 compared to 1Q 2018.

nWe had coverage remaining of $143.9$148.1 billion and $139.3 billion on our single-family credit guarantee portfolio as of March 31,June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. CRT transactions provided 30.4% and 29.4% of the coverage remaining at those dates.
nAs of March 31,June 30, 2019, we had cumulatively transferred a portion of credit risk on nearly $1.3 trillion of our single-family mortgages, based upon the UPB at issuance of the CRT transactions.
lFHFA's conservatorship capital needed for credit risk was reduced by approximately 65%70% through CRT transactions on new business activity in the twelve months ended March 31,June 30, 2018.
l
The reduction in the amount of conservatorship capital needed for credit risk on new business activity is calculated as conservatorship credit capital released from the CRT transactions (primarily through STACR and ACIS) divided by total conservatorship credit capital on new business activity at the time of purchase. For more information on the CCF and the calculation of conservatorship capital, seeLiquidity and Capital Resources - Capital Resources - Conservatorship Capital Framework - Return on Conservatorship Capital.

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 March 31,June 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 March 31,June 30, 2019, we have purchased approximately $36.4 billion of relief refinance loans that were previously categorized as Alt-A loans in our portfolio, including $0.1 billion in 1Q 2019.portfolio.

The total serious delinquency rate on our single-family credit guarantee portfolio was 0.67%0.63% as of March 31,June 30, 2019. However, 33%34% of the seriously delinquent loans at March 31,June 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.
nOur total single-family serious delinquency rate was lower as of March 31,June 30, 2019 compared to March 31,June 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.
nThe percentage of our 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 affected in a similar manner. However, the percentage of our single-family loans one month past due slightly increased as of March 31, 2019, comparedrelatively flat from June 30, 2018 to March 31, 2018.June 30, 2019.

Key Business Drivers:

lHigher guarantee fee income due to increased upfront fee amortization income and continued growth in our single-family credit guarantee portfolio.
lFair value losses due to higher losses on STACR transactions driven by changes in market spreads.
lHigher other non-interest income primarily due to higher gains on single-family seasoned loan reclassifications between held-for-investment and held-for-sale.
lHigher 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).

nThe 2019 Conservatorship Scorecard annual production cap is $35.0 billion, unchanged from 2018. The production cap is subject to reassessment throughout the year by FHFA to determine whether an increase in the cap is appropriate based on a stronger than expected overall market. Reclassifications between new business activity subject to the production cap and new business activity not subject to the production cap may occur during 2019.
nOutstanding commitments, including index lock commitments and commitments to purchase or guarantee multifamily assets, were $20.8$24.2 billion and $17.5$20.9 billion as of March 31,June 30, 2019 and March 31,June 30, 2018, respectively. Both period-end balances include loan purchase commitments for which we have elected the fair value option.
nThe combination of our new business activity and outstanding commitments was higher during 1Q2Q 2019 and YTD 2019 compared to 1Q2Q 2018 and YTD 2018 due to continued strong demand for multifamily financing and healthy multifamily market fundamentals resulting in continued growth in the overall multifamily mortgage debt outstanding.
nExcluding our LIHTC new business activity, approximately 44%47% and 45% of our multifamily new business activity in 1Q2Q 2019 and YTD 2019, respectively, counted towards the 2019 Conservatorship Scorecard production cap, while the remaining 56%53% and 55% was considered uncapped.
nOur uncapped new business activity increased slightly during 1Q 2019 compared to 1Q 2018 as we continued our efforts to support affordable housing and borrowers in underserved markets.
nApproximately 92% of our 1Q 2019 and 1Q 2018 new loan purchase activity was intended for our securitization pipeline. Combined with market demand for our securities, our 1Q 2019 new securitization pipeline purchase activity will be a driver for securitizations in the next two quarters of 2019.

nApproximately 92% and 95% of our new loan purchase activity in 2Q 2019 and 2Q 2018, respectively, was classified as held-for-sale and intended for our securitization pipeline. This purchase activity in 2Q 2019, combined with market demand for our securities, will be a driver for securitizations in the second half of 2019.

n
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.
nK Certificate benchmark spreads tightened during 1Q2Q 2019 compared to 2Q 2018, primarily resulting in fair value gains on our mortgage loans and commitments.

nAs of March 31,June 30, 2019, we had cumulatively transferred a large majority of credit risk on the multifamily guarantee portfolio.
lConservatorship capital needed for credit risk was reduced by approximately 90% through CRT transactions on new business activity in the twelve months ended March 31,June 30, 2018; we plan similar risk reduction transactions for this year's new business activity.
l
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.
nIn 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.

Long-term interest rates decreased during 1Qthe 2019 periods compared to increases during the 2018 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 increased during 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.
lLower spread related gains primarily due to spread widening on our agency securities combined with less spread tightening on a lower balance of our non-agency securities.
lDecrease in debt gains (losses) primarily due to lower gains from the extinguishment of fixed-rate PCs,debt securities of consolidated trusts, as marketlong-term interest rates declined between the time of issuance and repurchase.

Management's Discussion and Analysis Risk Management






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 and Risk Factors in our 2018 Annual Report and Liquidity and Capital Resourcesand Risk Factors in this reportForm 10-Q and in our 2018 Annual Report. See below for updates since our 2018 Annual Report.
Credit Risk
Overview
Credit risk is the risk associated with the inability or failure of a borrower, issuer, or counterparty to meet its financial and/or contractual obligations. We are exposed to mortgage credit risk and counterparty credit risk.
We are exposed to counterparty credit risk, which is a type of institutional credit risk, as a result of our contracts with sellers and servicers, credit enhancement providers (i.e., mortgage insurers), financial intermediaries, clearinghouses, and other counterparties.
Counterparty Credit Risk
Single Security Initiative
The Single Security Initiative has increased our counterparty credit risk exposure to Fannie Mae. 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. If Fannie Mae were to fail to make a payment on a Fannie Mae security that we resecuritized, we would be responsible for making the payment. We will be dependent on FHFA, Fannie Mae, and Treasury (pursuant to Fannie Mae's and our respective Purchase Agreements with Treasury) to avoid a liquidity event or default. We are not planning to modify our liquidity strategies to address the possibility of non-timely payment by Fannie Mae.
For additional information on the Single Security Initiative and the associated risks, see MD&A - Our Business Segments - Single-Family Guarantee in this Form 10-Q and Risk Factors in this Form 10-Q and our 2018 Annual Report.
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) and the debt we issue to fund them. 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 PVS.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.
In 1Q 2019, we changed the name of the Portfolio Market Value Sensitivity (PMVS) metrics to Portfolio Value Sensitivity (PVS). We removed "market" from these metrics as we economically hedge the present value of cash flows, which may not necessarily be the fair value of an instrument.

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.

We plan to updateIn April 2019, we updated our interest-rate risk measures in the second quarter of 2019 to include upfront fees (including buy-downs) related to single-family credit guarantee activity as we have changed our strategy to incorporate upfront fees into our asset and liability interest-rate risk management strategy and definition. Upon incorporation, this update will reflect that
As anticipated, we hedged the present valueupfront fees interest-rate risk (which is included in the Guarantees line in Table 21) over several weeks resulting in temporarily higher than normal duration gap, PVS-L, and PVS-YC levels. However, these levels returned to our historical averages by the end of 2Q 2019 as we completed our hedging of upfront fees relatedinterest-rate risk. The inclusion of upfront fees increased our derivative volume resulting in a larger effect of derivatives on our PVS-L (50 bps).
In addition, we continue to single-family credit guarantee activity decreases (increases) when interest rates increase (decrease). The update will materially increase our duration gap and PVS results in the short-term until we have fully economically hedged upfront fees.
We are also consideringconsider further modifying our interest-rate risk measures to include net worth, which is not currently incorporated in our asset and liability interest-rate risk management strategy and definition. If this update was included, it would reflect that we view net worth as having long-term duration rather than short-term duration, and that the present value of net worth therefore increases (decreases) when interest rates increase (decrease).
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 March 31,June 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. See Note 9 for additional information on hedge accounting.
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.

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. The remaining net interest-rate effect on comprehensive income is largely attributable to the reversal of previously recognized derivative gains and losses and 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. These remaining

Management's Discussion and Analysis

effects are recognized in GAAP earnings over time as a component of derivative gains and losses as the instruments approach maturity and are partially offset by the amortization of previously deferred hedge accounting gains and losses.
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 March 31,June 30, 2019, the GAAP adverse scenario before fair value hedge accounting was a non-parallelparallel shift in which long-term 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 increasedecrease by 100 basis points.
n At March 31,June 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. Our GAAP adverse scenarios before hedge accounting and after hedge accounting increased due to our use of additional derivatives 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.

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. We expect that our GAAP adverse scenario after hedge accounting reduction will decrease due to the additional hedging of upfront fees.

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.

$1,803.71,828.0



Debt securities of consolidated trusts are used primarily to fund our single-family guarantee activities. 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.
(1)Represents UPB of debt balances.
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- and medium-term 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.

The decrease was offset by issuances of short-term debtprimarily due to higher near-term cash needs for upcoming debt maturities and anticipated calls. In addition, STACR debt should continue to decline as run off will primarily be replaced with STACR Trust transactions.

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:
nThe assets held by the securitization trusts, the majority of which are mortgage loans. We recognized $1,858.1$1,879.8 billion and $1,842.9 billion of mortgage loans, which represented 88.8%88.5% and 89.3% of our total assets, as of March 31,June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

PCsLevel 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 PCs.securities.

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.

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 equity funding, under certain conditions, to eliminate deficits in our net worth. At March 31,June 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 $4.7$4.8 billion and the applicable Capital Reserve Amount of $3.0 billion, our dividend requirement to Treasury in JuneSeptember 2019 will be $1.7$1.8 billion.

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.
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, we are not able to retain total equity, as calculated under GAAP, in excess of the $3.0 billion Capital Reserve Amount. As a result, we do not have capital sufficient to support our aggregate risk-taking activities. Instead, we rely upon the Purchase Agreement to maintain market confidence.
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.
All conservatorship capital figures presented below are based on the CCF in effect as of June 30, 2019, which was unchanged from the CCF as in effect on March 31, 2019. The CCF has previously been and may be further revised by FHFA from time to time, and may be revised specifically in connection with FHFA's consideration and adoption of a final Enterprise Capital Rule, which could possibly result in material changes in our conservatorship capital.
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 current $3.0 billion limit on the amount of total equity that we are able to retain under the Purchase Agreement.

Our 1QROCC and Adjusted ROCC for 2Q 2019 ROCCand YTD 2019 decreased compared to the 1Qreturns for the 2018 ROCC,periods, primarily driven by the decrease in comprehensive income, in 1Q 2019, partially offset by the lower level of conservatorship capital needed, in 1Q 2019, resulting from the increasingan increase in CRT activity in both our Single-family Guarantee and Multifamily segments, home price appreciation, and the efficient disposition of legacy 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

Management's Discussion and AnalysisLiquidity and Capital Resources


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 $262.9$270.8 billion and $254.9 billion at March 31,June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. The amount as of June 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 June 30, 2019, the total amount of our off-balance sheet exposure related to Fannie Mae securities backing Freddie Mac resecuritization products was approximately $2.0 billion. We expect this exposure to increase over time.

Management's Discussion and AnalysisRegulation 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
FHFA is an independent agency of the federal government responsible for oversight of the operations of Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae, and the FHLBs. On April 15, 2019, Mark Calabria was sworn in as the next Director of FHFA.
Under the GSE Act, FHFA has safety and soundness authority that is comparable to, and in some respects broader than, that of the federal banking agencies. FHFA is responsible for implementing the various provisions of the GSE Act that were added by the Reform Act.
Affordable Housing Goals
In March 2019, we filed our Annual Housing Activities Report with FHFA. For 2018, we have determined that we achieved all five of our single-family affordable housing goal benchmarks and all three of our multifamily affordable housing goals.
FHFA will make the final determination as to whether we achieved compliance with our housing goals for 2018.
Duty to Serve
The GSE Act and FHFA regulation establish a duty for us to facilitate a secondary mortgage market for mortgages on housing for very low-, low-, and moderate-income families in three underserved markets: manufactured housing, affordable housing preservation, and rural areas. We are providing leadership in developing products, purchasing loans, supporting outreach to communities, and making investments in support of our duty to serve. In March 2019, we submitted our first annual report containing information on activities and objectives undertaken during 2018. FHFA will use this report to evaluate our 2018 performance under our underserved markets plan for 2018-2020.
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. In AprilDuring 2Q 2019 at the direction of FHFA, we paid the funds allocated for 2018 through the following payments: $105.1 million to the Housing Trust Fund administered by HUD and $56.5 million to the Capital Magnet Fund administered by Treasury.
During 1QYTD 2019, we completed $83$119.4 billion and $202.2 billion, respectively, of new business purchases subject to this requirement and accrued $35$50 million and $85 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
Presidential Memorandum on Federal Housing Finance Reform

On March 27, 2019, President Trump issued a memorandum on federal housing finance reform. The President directed the Secretary of the Treasury to develop a plan for administrative and legislative reforms as soon as practicable to achieve housing reform goals that include the following: ending the conservatorships of the GSEs; facilitating competition in the housing finance market; 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. 
The President further directed that Treasury's plan include reform proposals to: preserve access for qualified homebuyers to 30 year fixed-rate mortgages and other mortgage options that best serve the financial needs of potential homebuyers; maintain equal access to the federal housing finance system for all lenders; establish appropriate capital and liquidity requirements for the GSEs; increase competition and participation of the private sector in the mortgage market; mitigate the risks undertaken by the GSEs; recommend appropriate size and risk profiles for the GSEs' retained mortgage and investment portfolios; define the role of the GSEs in multifamily mortgage finance; evaluate the GSEs' exemption from certain requirements of the "qualified mortgage" determination; define the GSEs' role in promoting affordable housing; and set the conditions necessary for the

termination of the conservatorships, including that the federal government is fully compensated for the explicit and implicit guarantees provided to the GSEs or any successor entities, the GSEs' activities are restricted to their core statutory mission and the size of their investment and retained portfolios is appropriately limited, and the GSEs are subjected to heightened prudential requirements and safety and soundness standards, including increased capital requirements.
UMBS Update
On March 5, 2019, FHFA published in the Federal Register a final rule on the UMBS that requires Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae to align programs, policies, and practices that affect the cash flows of TBA-eligible mortgage-backed securities. This rule will be effective on May 6, 2019.
On March 7, 2019, SIFMA announced that its TBA Guidelines Advisory Council approved changes to the good delivery guidelines to enable TBA-trading of UMBS with trade dates on or after March 12, 2019 and settlement dates on or after June 3, 2019. UMBS issued by either Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae will be deliverable into TBA contracts for settlement starting June 3, 2019. In conjunction with these announcements, forward trading has begun for June 2019 settlement into UMBS.
Beginning on May 7, 2019, we plan to offer holders of certain existing 45-day payment delay fixed-rate Gold PCs and Giant PCs the option to exchange their eligible 45-day securities for 55-day payment delay Freddie Mac securities. Freddie Mac will no longer issue Gold PCs with a 45-day payment delay after May 31, 2019.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
We regularly communicate information concerning our business activities to investors, the news media, securities analysts, and others as part of our normal operations. Some of these communications, including this Form 10-Q, contain "forward-looking statements." Examples of forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements pertaining to the conservatorship, our current expectations and objectives for the Single-family Guarantee, Multifamily, and Capital Markets segments of our business, our efforts to assist the housing market, our liquidity and capital management, economic and market conditions and trends, our market share, the effect of legislative and regulatory developments and new accounting guidance, the credit quality of loans we own or guarantee, the costs and benefits of our CRT transactions, and our results of operations and financial condition on a GAAP, Segment Earnings, and fair value basis. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, some of which are beyond our control. Forward-looking statements are often accompanied by, and identified with, terms such as "could," "may," "will," "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "forecast," and similar phrases. These statements are not historical facts, but rather represent our expectations based on current information, plans, judgments, assumptions, estimates, and projections. Actual results may differ significantly from those described in or implied by such forward-looking statements due to various factors and uncertainties, including those described in the Risk Factors section of this Form 10-Q and our 2018 Annual Report, and:

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 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, and the three months ended March 31, 2018 as "2Q 2019," "1Q 2019," "4Q 2018," "3Q 2018," "2Q 2018," and "1Q 2018," respectively. We refer to the six months ended June 30, 2019 and the six months ended June 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 quantitativeand qualitative factors. Net income includes certain adjustments to correct immaterial errors related to previously reported periods.

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.

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. These models are currently undergoing testing and validation, which includes executing 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 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 are not ablecontinue to reasonably estimateevaluate the effect that the adoption of these amendments will have on our consolidated financial statements, it may increase (perhaps substantially) our allowance for credit losses inwe currently do not expect the periodimpact at adoption of adoption.ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses, and related amendments to require us to request a draw from Treasury.

January 1, 2020On 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.

NOTE 2
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.
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, and thetimes. The UPB of this portfolio was $218.9$219.0 billion at March 31,June 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 in order to continue operating our business. Our ability to access funds from Treasury under the Purchase Agreement is critical to:
nKeeping us solvent;
nAllowing us to focus on our primary business objectives under conservatorship; and
nAvoiding the appointment of a receiver by FHFA under statutory mandatory receivership provisions.
At DecemberMarch 31, 2018,2019, 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 1Q2Q 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. Therefore, CSSMae 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 1QYTD 2019, we contributed $36$62 million of capital to CSS, and we have contributed $500$526 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.
Securitization Activities
With the implementation of Release 2 of the CSP and the Single Security Initiative on June 3, 2019, we began issuing new types of Level 1 securitization products (UMBS and 55-day MBS) and new types of single-class resecuritization products (Supers and Giant MBS). Our accounting policies for these new types of products are discussed below. These implementations did not affect our accounting for multiclass resecuritization products (REMICs and Strips). See Note 3in our 2018 Annual Report for more information on our accounting policies for securitization activities.
Level 1 Securitization Products
UMBS and 55-day MBS are similar to PCs, and our rights and obligations with respect to both UMBS and 55-day MBS are essentially the same as our rights and obligations with respect to PCs. As a result, similar to our conclusion for PCs, we have concluded that we are the primary beneficiary of, and therefore consolidate, the trusts we use to issue both UMBS and 55-day MBS, and we recognize the assets and liabilities of such trusts on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Similar to our accounting for PCs, we extinguish the outstanding debt securities of the related consolidated trust and recognize gains or losses on debt extinguishment for the difference between the consideration paid and the debt carrying value when we purchase UMBS and 55-day MBS as investments in our mortgage-related investments portfolio. Sales of UMBS and 55-day MBS previously held as investments in our mortgage-related investments portfolio are accounted for as debt issuances. Additionally, when existing PCs are exchanged for UMBS or 55-day MBS under our exchange program, we account for the exchange as a debt modification, as the terms of the securities exchanged are not substantially different and the exchange does not result in a change in the creditor. The float compensation we pay in conjunction with the exchange is deferred and amortized into interest expense over the life of the debt.
Resecuritization Products
Supers and Giant MBS are both single-class resecuritization products similar to Giant PCs, and our rights and obligations with respect to Supers and Giant MBS are essentially the same as our rights and obligations with respect to Giant PCs. As a result, similar to our conclusion for Giant PCs, we have concluded that we are not the primary beneficiary of, and therefore do not consolidate, the trusts used to issue either Supers or Giant MBS unless we have the unilateral ability to dissolve the trust.
We account for purchases of single-class resecuritization products that we issue that are substantially the same as the underlying collateral as debt extinguishments of a pro-rata portion of the underlying Level 1 securitization product. We account for purchases of single-class resecuritization products that we issue that are not considered substantially the same as the underlying collateral as investments in debt securities. Single-class resecuritization products that we issue that are backed entirely by Freddie Mac collateral are considered substantially the same as the underlying collateral, while commingled single-class resecuritization products that we issue are not considered substantially the same as the underlying collateral.

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. SeeNote 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. 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. SeeNote 6for 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.

We reclassify loans from held-for-investment to held-for-sale when we no longer have the intent or ability to hold for the foreseeable future. For additional information regarding the fair value of our loans classified as held-for-sale, see Note 15.
(2)Our sales of single-family loans reflect the sale of seasoned single-family mortgage loans. The sale of seasoned single-family mortgage loans is part of our strategy to mitigate and reduce our holdings of less liquid assets.
(3)
Our sales of multifamily loans occur primarily through the issuance of multifamily K Certificates and SB Certificates. See Note 3 for more information on our K Certificates and SB Certificates.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements |Note 4






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.

Allowance for Credit Losses
The allowance for credit losses represents estimates of probable incurred credit losses which we recognize by recording a charge to the provision for credit losses on our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. The allowance for credit losses includes:
nOur allowance for loan losses, which pertains to all single-family and multifamily loans classified as held-for-investment on our condensed consolidated balance sheets and
nOur reserve for guarantee losses, which pertains to single-family and multifamily loans underlying our senior subordinate securitization structures (non-consolidated), other securitization products, and other mortgage-related guarantees.

(1)Relates to removal of delinquent loans from consolidated trusts and resecuritization after such removal. 
(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 5.3%4.6% and 6.6% of the recorded investment in such loans at March 31,June 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 0.2% of the recorded investment in such loans as of both March 31,June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

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.

In addition, loans may be initially classified as TDRs as a result of other loss mitigation activities (i.e., repayment plans, forbearance agreements, or loans in modification trial periods). During 1QYTD 2019 and 1QYTD 2018, 1,4642,818 and 1,710,4,467, respectively, of such loans (with a post-TDR recorded investment of $0.2$0.3 billion for both periods)and $0.6 billion, respectively) experienced a payment default within a year after the loss mitigation activity occurred.

Non-Cash Investing and Financing Activities
During 1QYTD 2019 and 1QYTD 2018, we acquired $37.0$91.0 billion and $36.1$80.9 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 $6.5$15.5 billion and $4.8$11.7 billion of loans from sellers in guarantor swap transactions and $1.3 billion and $0.1 billion of loans from sellers in cash execution transactions during 1QYTD 2019 and 1QYTD 2018, respectively, to satisfy advances to lenders that were recorded in other assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. These loans were primarily included in the guarantor swap transactions.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements |Note 5




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 $2.0 billion of Fannie Mae securities backing Freddie Mac resecuritization products as of June 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 March 31,June 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.

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 table 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:
nExchange-traded derivatives;
nCleared derivatives; and
nOTC 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:
nLIBOR- and SOFR-based interest-rate swaps;
nLIBOR- and Treasury-based purchased options (including swaptions); and
nLIBOR-, 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.
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 1QYTD 2019 and 1QYTD 2018, we reclassified from AOCI into earnings, pre-tax losses of $23$48 million and $38$75 million, respectively, related to closed cash flow hedges. See Note 11 for information about future reclassifications of deferred net losses related to closed cash flow hedges to net income.

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 March 31,June 30, 2019, our maximum loss for accounting purposes after applying netting agreements and collateral on an individual counterparty basis would have been approximately $55$11 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 $188$147 million and $90 million at March 31,June 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).
Securities Purchased Under Agreements to Resell
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. Although it is not our practice to repledge collateral that has been pledged to us, theseThese agreements may allow us to repledge all or a portion of the collateral.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 March 31,June 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.
In 1Q 2018, we changed the characterization of variation margin payments from posting of margin collateral to settlements for certain of our cleared swaps transacted with LCH group, as a result of certain rule amendments made by the organization.
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. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase are included in debt, net on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

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 and $0.4 billion at March 31,June 30, 2019 and March 31,June 30, 2018, respectively, 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 $69$60 million, net of taxes, of the $0.3 billion of cash flow hedge losses in AOCI at March 31,June 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 1514 years.

Senior Preferred Stock
As of March 31,June 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 $4.7$4.8 billion as of March 31,June 30, 2019 and the Capital Reserve Amount of $3.0 billion, our dividend requirement to Treasury in JuneSeptember 2019 will be $1.7$1.8 billion. See Note 2 for additional information.
Upon the Conservator, acting as successor to the rights, titles, powers, and privileges of the Board of Directors, declaring a senior preferred stock dividend equal to our dividend requirement and directing us to pay it before JuneSeptember 30, 2019, we would pay a dividend of $1.7$1.8 billion by JuneSeptember 30, 2019. If for any reason we were not to pay our dividend requirement on the senior preferred stock in full, the unpaid amount would be added to the liquidation preference and our applicable Capital Reserve Amount would thereafter be zero, but this would not affect our ability to draw funds from Treasury under the Purchase Agreement. Our cumulative senior preferred stock dividend payments totaled $118.0$119.7 billion as of March 31,June 30, 2019. The aggregate liquidation preference of the senior preferred stock owned by Treasury was $75.6 billion as of both March 31,June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.
Stock Issuances and Repurchases
We did not repurchase or issue any of our common shares or non-cumulative preferred stock during 1Q 2019, except for issuances of treasury stock relating to stock-based compensation granted prior to Conservatorship. During 1Q 2019, the deferral period lapsed on 351 RSUs. At March 31, 2019, 702 RSUs remained outstanding.2Q 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 dilutiveeffect 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 March 31,June 30, 2019 and March 31,June 30, 2018.
Dividends and Dividend Restrictions
No common dividends were declared during 1QYTD 2019. At the direction of our Conservator, we paid dividends of $1.5 billion and $1.7 billion in cash on the senior preferred stock during 1Q 2019.2019 and 2Q 2019, respectively. We did not declare or pay dividends on any other series of Freddie Mac preferred stock outstanding during 1QYTD 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 1Q2Q 2019 and 1Q2Q 2018, we reported income tax expense of $0.4 billion and $0.7$0.6 billion, respectively, resulting in effective tax rates of 20.3%20.7% and 20.4%, respectively. For YTD 2019 and YTD 2018, we reported income tax expense of $0.8 billion and $1.4 billion, respectively, resulting in effective tax rates of 20.5% and 20.4%, respectively. Our effective tax raterates differed from the statutory tax rate of 21% in these periods primarily due to our recognition of low income housing tax credits.
Deferred Tax Assets, Net
We had net deferred tax assets of $6.8$6.4 billion and $6.9 billion as of March 31,June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. At March 31,June 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 March 31,June 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 March 31,June 30, 2019, we have a $46 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 March 31,June 30, 2019.

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:
nPurchased pursuant to a previously issued other mortgage-related guarantee;
nPart of our relief refinance initiative; or
nIn another refinance loan initiative and the pre-existing loan (including Alt-A loans) 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 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.


Freddie Mac Form 10-Q 89100

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




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.

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%27% and 22% of our single-family purchase volume during 1QYTD 2019 and 1QYTD 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 excludingas of June 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.

Some of these non-depository servicers have grown in recent years and now service a large share of our loans. As of March 31,June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, approximately 18%17% and 16%, respectively, of our single-family credit guarantee portfolio excluding loans where we do not exercise control over the associated servicing, 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 March 31,June 30, 2019, mortgage insurers provided coverage with maximum loss limits of $98.9$101.8 billion, for $385.5$396.9 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.

During both 1QYTD 2019 and 1QYTD 2018, we received proceeds of $0.1 billion 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

(excluding deferred payment obligations associated with unpaid claim amounts) as of both March 31,June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The balance of these receivables, net of associated reserves, was approximately $0.1 billion at both March 31,June 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 March 31,June 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:
nIn 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
nWhile 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 March 31,June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, including amounts related to our consolidated VIEs, the balance in our other investments was $77.0$83.2 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 March 31,June 30, 2019, all of our securities purchased under agreements to resell were fully collateralized. As of March 31,June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, $1.9$2.3 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:
nLevel 1 - inputs to the valuation techniques are based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
nLevel 2 - inputs to the valuation techniques are based on observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
nLevel 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.

(1)Transfers out of Level 3 during 1Q2Q 2019 and 1QYTD 2019 and 2Q 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 1Q2Q 2019 and 1QYTD 2019 and 2Q 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.
(2)Amounts are the net of derivative assets and liabilities prior to counterparty netting, cash collateral netting, net trade/settle receivable or payable, and net derivative interest receivable or payable.

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 after our initial recognition. 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.

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 Marneucase 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 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 August 16, 2018, plaintiffs in the In re Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac Senior Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement Class ActionLitigations case filed a motion for class certification in the District Court. 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. On October 15, 2018, defendants filed a motion seeking reconsideration of the denial of the motion to dismiss as to the implied covenant claims. 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, which defendants have opposed.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.
Rafter, Rattien and Pershing Square Capital Management vs. the United States of America et al. This case was filed as a shareholder derivative lawsuit, purportedly on behalf of Freddie Mac as a "nominal" defendant, on August 14, 2014. The complaint alleges 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, and the U.S. government breached an implied-in-fact contract with Freddie Mac. In September 2015, plaintiffs filed an amended complaint, which contains one claim involving Freddie Mac. The amended complaint alleges that Freddie Mac's charter is a contract with its common stockholders, and that, through the August 2012 amendment to the Purchase Agreement, the U.S. government breached the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing inherent in such contract. Plaintiffs ask that they be awarded damages or other appropriate relief for the alleged breach of contract as well as attorneys' fees, costs, and expenses. Plaintiffs filed a further amended complaint under seal on March 8, 2018, and a redacted public version on April 20, 2018. The amended complaint no longer lists Freddie Mac as a nominal defendant.
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.
Litigation in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware
Jacobs and Hindes vs. FHFA and Treasury. This case was filed on August 17, 2015 as a putative class action lawsuit purportedly on behalf of a class of holders of preferred stock or common stock issued by Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae. The case was also filed as a shareholder derivative lawsuit, purportedly on behalf of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae as "nominal" defendants. The complaint alleges, among other items, that the August 2012 amendment to the Purchase Agreement violated applicable state law and constituted a breach of contract, as well as a breach of covenants of good faith and fair dealing. Plaintiffs seek equitable and injunctive relief (including restitution of the monies paid by Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae to Treasury under the net worth sweep dividend), compensatory damages, attorneys' fees, costs and expenses. On November 27, 2017, the Court dismissed the case with prejudice after defendants filed a motion to dismiss. On December 21, 2017, plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, and on November 14, 2018, the Court of Appeals affirmed the dismissal.
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.

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.

Other Information
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are involved as a party to a variety of legal proceedings. For more information, see Note 16 in this reportForm 10-Q and in 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. 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, which describes various risks and uncertainties to which we are or may become subject. This section updates that discussion.
These risks and uncertainties could, directly or indirectly, adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, strategies, and/or prospects.
A significant decline in the price performance of or demand for our UMBS could have an adverse effect on the volume and/or profitability of our new single-family guarantee business.
Historically, the price performance of our Gold PCs (the predecessor to the UMBS) relative to comparable Fannie Mae-issued securities had been one of Freddie Mac’s more significant risks and competitive issues. On June 3, 2019, in connection with the implementation of the Single Security Initiative, we ceased issuing Gold PCs and commenced issuing UMBS. While the Single Security Initiative and the UMBS (which may be issued by Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae) are intended to reduce the pricing disparity between our securities and Fannie Mae’s securities, there can be no assurance they will do so. For example, in certain cases, the pricing disparity has not been reduced, primarily due to differences in pool composition.
Our UMBS are an integral part of our loan purchase program. Our competitiveness in purchasing single-family loans from our sellers and the volume and profitability of our new single-family guarantee business are directly affected by the price performance of our UMBS relative to comparable Fannie Mae-issued UMBS. If our UMBS were to trade at a discount relative to comparable Fannie Mae securities, such a difference in relative pricing could create an economic incentive for sellers to conduct a disproportionate share of their single-family business with Fannie Mae.
It is possible that a liquid market for our UMBS may not be sustained over the short- or long-term, which could adversely affect their price performance and our single-family market share. A significant reduction in our market share, and thus in the volume of loans that we securitize, or a reduction in the trading volume of our UMBS could reduce the liquidity of our UMBS. While we may decide to employ various strategies to support the liquidity and price performance of our UMBS, any such strategies may fail or adversely affect our business. We may cease any such activities at any time, or FHFA could require us to do so, which could adversely affect the liquidity and price performance of our UMBS.
Liquidity-related price differences could occur between our UMBS and comparable Fannie Mae-issued UMBS due to factors that are largely outside of our control. For example, the level of the Federal Reserve’s purchases and sales of agency mortgage-related securities, including the balance sheet normalization program to reduce the Federal Reserve’s holdings of mortgage-related securities, could affect the demand for and values of our UMBS. Therefore, any strategies we employ to reduce any liquidity-related price differences may not reduce or eliminate any such price differences over the long term.
We may decide to compensate sellers for any difference in price between our UMBS and comparable Fannie Mae-issued UMBS by reducing our guarantee fees, which could adversely affect the profitability of our single-family guarantee business. We could also incur costs in connection with any efforts to support the liquidity and price performance of our UMBS, including by engaging in transactions that yield less than our target rate of return. For more information, see MD&A - Our Business Segments - Capital Markets Segment - Business Overview - Products and Activities in our 2018 Annual Report.
Implementation of the Single Security Initiative presents increased operational and counterparty risk. If this initiative is not successfully implemented or if the UMBS does not receive widespread market acceptance, the liquidity and price performance of our single-family mortgage-related securities and our market share and profitability could be adversely affected.
Implementation of the Single Security Initiative is complex and requires significant changes to trading processes and systems of key market participants. It is possible that we could experience a disruption in the liquidity of Freddie Mac mortgage-related securities during the period in which we transition to the UMBS and other aspects of the Single Security Initiative. Although we expect to employ various strategies as needed to support the transition to and liquidity of the UMBS, these strategies may fail or adversely affect our business, and they may be discontinued at any time. We have been required by FHFA to align certain of

Freddie Mac Form 10-Q123

Other Information

our single-family mortgage purchase offerings, servicing, and securitization programs, policies and practices with Fannie Mae to achieve market acceptance of the UMBS and other aspects of the Single Security Initiative, but there can be no assurance that the UMBS will reduce the pricing disparities discussed above. These alignment activities may adversely affect our business and our ability to compete with Fannie Mae. We may be required to further align our business processes with those of Fannie Mae. Uncertainty concerning the extent of the alignment between Freddie Mac's and Fannie Mae's mortgage purchase, servicing, and securitization programs, policies and practices may affect the degree to which the UMBS and other aspects of the Single Security Initiative receive widespread market acceptance.
It is possible that uncertainty surrounding the implementation and overall impact of the UMBS could contribute to declines in the liquidity or market value of our single-family mortgage-related securities. The industry has expressed concerns that Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae UMBS may not be truly fungible. If investors do not accept the fungibility of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae UMBS or if investors prefer Fannie Mae UMBS over Freddie Mac UMBS, it could have a significant adverse impact on our business, liquidity, financial condition, net worth, and results of operations, and could adversely affect the liquidity or market value of our single-family mortgage-related securities.
We are offering an optional exchange program for security holders to exchange certain existing 45-day payment delay fixed-rate Gold PCs and Giant PCs for new 55-day payment delay Freddie Mac securities. As part of this program, we pay exchanging security holders a one-time payment for the 10 additional days of payment delay, based on float compensation rates we calculate. We do not expect the return from this additional float to fully offset our payments to the security holders. In addition, we could enter into transactions to facilitate these exchanges, such as, for example, purchasing and selling agency securities, including Freddie Mac mortgage-related securities through our mortgage-related investments portfolio; any such transactions may result in accounting losses.
The Single Security Initiative will also cause us to have counterparty credit exposure to Fannie Mae. As a result of the implementation of the Single Security Initiative on June 3, 2019, investors are now able to commingle certain Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae securities in resecuritizations. When we resecuritize Fannie Mae securities, our guarantee of timely principal and interest extends to the underlying Fannie Mae securities. In the event Fannie Mae were to fail to make a payment on a Fannie Mae security that we resecuritized, Freddie Mac would be responsible for making the payment. We do not control or limit the amount of resecuritized Fannie Mae securities that we could be required to guarantee. We are dependent on FHFA, Fannie Mae, and Treasury (pursuant to Fannie Mae's and our respective Purchase Agreements with Treasury) to avoid a liquidity event or default. We are not planning to modify our liquidity strategies to address the possibility of non-timely payment by Fannie Mae.
We and Fannie Mae both rely on the Federal Reserve Banks to make payments on our respective mortgage-backed securities. As noted above, in the event Fannie Mae were to fail to make a payment on a Fannie Mae security that we resecuritized, Freddie Mac would be responsible for providing the Federal Reserve Banks with the funds to make the payment. If we failed to provide the Federal Reserve Banks with all funds to make such payment on such resecuritized Fannie Mae securities, the Federal Reserve Banks would not make any payment on any of our outstanding Freddie Mac-issued UMBS, Supers, REMICs, or other securities to be paid on that payment date, regardless of whether such Freddie Mac-issued securities were backed by Fannie Mae-issued securities.
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 priorapproval. 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 atwww.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.

Controls and Procedures




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 March 31,June 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 March 31,June 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 1Q2Q 2019
We evaluated the changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during 1Q2Q 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 March 31,June 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.
