Fannie Mae Reports Fourth-Quarter and Full-Year 2008 Results
Fourth-Quarter Loss of $25.2 Billion Driven by Fair Value Losses,
Credit-Related Expenses, and Securities Impairments

WASHINGTON, DC – Fannie Mae (FNM/NYSE) reported a loss of $25.2 billion, or ($4.47) per
diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2008, compared with a third-quarter 2008 loss of $29.0
billion, or ($13.00) per diluted share. Fourth-quarter results were driven primarily by $12.3
billion in net fair value losses, credit-related expenses of $12.0 billion, and securities impairments
of $4.6 billion, as deterioration in mortgage performance, home prices, and in the credit markets
continued to adversely affect our financial results.

For the full year of 2008, Fannie Mae reported a loss of $58.7 billion, or ($24.04) per diluted
share, compared with a loss of $2.1 billion, or ($2.63) per diluted share, for 2007. Since
September 6, 2008, the company has been operating under the conservatorship of the Federal
Housing Finance Agency (FHFA). On February 25, 2009, the Director of FHFA submitted a
request for $15.2 billion from the U.S. Department of the Treasury on our behalf under the terms
of the Senior Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement in order to eliminate our net worth deficit as of
December 31, 2008. FHFA has requested that Treasury provide the funds on or prior to March
31, 2009.

Net revenue rose 39 percent to $5.6 billion in the fourth quarter from $4.1 billion in the third quarter:


Net interest income was $2.7 billion, up 14 percent from $2.4 billion in the third quarter, due
to a continued shift to lower-cost, short-term funding, which reduced the average cost of our
debt, and portfolio growth. For the year, net interest income was $8.8 billion, up 92 percent
from $4.6 billion in 2007.

Fourth-Quarter and Full-Year Results



Guaranty fee income was $2.8 billion, up 89 percent from $1.5 billion in the third quarter,
due to accelerated amortization of upfront guaranty fees, as lower interest rates led to a faster
rate of estimated prepayments. For the year, guaranty fee income was $7.6 billion, up 50
percent from $5.1 billion in 2007.

For the year, net revenue was $17.4 billion, up 56 percent from $11.2 billion in 2007.
Net fair value losses were $12.3 billion in the fourth quarter, compared with $3.9 billion in the
third quarter. The primary drivers of the fourth-quarter loss were $11.4 billion of mark-to-market
losses on our derivatives due to significant interest rate declines in the period, and $1.9 billion in
trading securities losses due to widening credit spreads. For the year, net fair value losses were
$20.1 billion, compared with net fair value losses of $4.7 billion in 2007.

Credit-related expenses, which are the total provision for credit losses plus foreclosed property
expense, were $12.0 billion in the fourth quarter, up 30 percent from $9.2 billion in the third
quarter. Credit-related expenses remained at a level higher than our charge-offs of $2.0 billion
during the quarter, as we continued to build our combined loss reserves. For the year, creditrelated expenses were $29.8 billion, up 495 percent from $5.0 billion in 2007. Charge-offs were
$7.0 billion in 2008, up 219 percent from $2.2 billion in 2007.

Combined loss reserves were $24.8 billion on December 31, 2008, up from $15.6 billion on
September 30, 2008, and $3.4 billion on December 31, 2007. The combined loss reserves were
0.83 percent of our guaranty book of business on December 31, 2008, compared with 0.53
percent on September 30, 2008, and 0.12 percent on December 31, 2007. We made a substantial
addition to our combined loss reserves to reflect our current estimate of losses that had been
incurred in our book of business as of December 31, 2008.

Net investment losses were $4.6 billion in the fourth quarter, compared with losses of $1.6
billion in the third quarter.

The fourth-quarter loss was driven by other-than-temporary

impairments of available-for-sale securities backed by Alt-A and subprime mortgages, as home
values continued to decline and estimated loss severities for these loan types increased. For the
year, net investment losses were $7.2 billion, compared with net investment losses of $867
million in 2007.

Total nonperforming loans were $119.2 billion on December 31, 2008, compared with $63.6
billion on September 30, 2008, and $27.2 billion on December 31, 2007. The carrying value of
our foreclosed properties was $6.6 billion on December 31, 2008, compared with $7.3 billion on
September 30, 2008, and $3.5 billion on December 31, 2007.

Diluted loss per share reflects the average weighted balance of our shares outstanding, assuming
the full exercise of the common stock warrant issued to the Treasury. The warrant, which was
issued to the Treasury on September 7, 2008, increased weighted-average shares outstanding to
5.652 billion for the fourth quarter and 2.487 billion for the full year.

Further information about our credit performance, the characteristics of our mortgage credit book of
business, the drivers of our credit losses, our foreclosure prevention efforts, and other measures is
contained in the “2008 Credit Supplement” on Fannie Mae’s Web site, www.fanniemae.com. We
provide further discussion of our financial results and condition, credit performance, fair value
balance sheets and other matters in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 2008, which was filed today with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

NET WORTH AND U.S. TREASURY FUNDING

We had a net worth deficit of $15.2 billion on December 31, 2008, compared with a positive net
worth of $9.4 billion on September 30, 2008. “Net worth” refers to the amount by which our total
assets exceed our total liabilities as reflected on our consolidated balance sheets prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). As noted above, the Director
of FHFA has requested $15.2 billion of funds from the Treasury on our behalf under the terms of
the Senior Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement between Fannie Mae and the Treasury to
eliminate our net worth deficit as of December 31, 2008, which would avoid a trigger of
mandatory receivership under the Federal Housing Finance Regulatory Reform Act of 2008.

Fourth-Quarter and Full-Year Results

On February 18, 2009, the Treasury announced that it is amending the Senior Preferred Stock
Purchase Agreement to increase its funding commitment to $200 billion from $100 billion.
Treasury said it would provide a similar increase to Freddie Mac. Treasury also announced that it
would increase the size of our mortgage portfolio allowed under the agreement by $50 billion to
$900 billion, with a corresponding increase in our allowable debt outstanding. Treasury Secretary
Timothy Geithner said in a statement that these measures would “provide forward-looking
confidence in the mortgage market and enable Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to carry out
ambitious efforts to ensure mortgage affordability for responsible homeowners.”

We expect the market conditions that contributed to our net loss for each quarter of 2008 to
continue and possibly worsen in 2009, which is likely to cause further reductions in our net
worth. Our stockholders’ deficit, which differs from net worth because of minority interests that
third parties own in our consolidated subsidiaries, was $15.3 billion on December 31, 2008.

FAIR VALUE UPDATE

The estimated fair value of our net assets declined from $35.8 billion on December 31, 2007, to
negative $105.2 billion on December 31, 2008, reflecting the ongoing deterioration in the housing
and credit markets and dislocation in the financial markets. The main drivers of this decline were:


A decrease of approximately $80.3 billion, or $60.6 billion net of related tax, in the fair value
of our net guaranty assets, driven by a substantial increase in the estimated fair value of our
guaranty obligations, largely attributable to an increase in expected credit losses as a result of
the significant worsening of housing, credit and economic conditions.



A substantial decrease in the fair value of the net portfolio for our Capital Markets group,
largely attributable to a decline of approximately $52.3 billion, or $41.0 billion net of related
tax, attributable to wider spreads on our mortgage investments, particularly for our privatelabel securities backed by Alt-A and subprime loans, as well as our commercial mortgagebacked securities. These wider spreads and the associated decrease in fair value largely
reflect the market expectation of higher future expected credit losses on these securities.

Fourth-Quarter and Full-Year Results



A decrease due to the non-cash charge of $21.4 billion recorded during the third quarter of
2008 in our consolidated results of operations to establish a partial deferred tax asset
valuation allowance and an additional decrease of approximately $19.5 billion related to the
reversal of net deferred tax assets associated with the fair value adjustments on our net assets,
excluding our available-for sale securities.

Fair value is intended to convey the current value of an asset or liability as of the measurement
date, not the potential value of the asset or liability that may be realized from future cash flows
associated with the asset or liability. For example, the dramatic decline in the fair value of our
mortgage investments during 2008 was due in part to the significant widening of spreads during
the year, which does not affect the cash flows to be received over the life of the mortgage
investments. In general, fair value incorporates the market’s current view of the future, which is
reflected in the current price of the asset or liability. However, future market conditions may be
more severe than the market has currently estimated and priced into these fair value measures.
Finally, the fair value balance sheet reflects only the value of the assets and liabilities of the
enterprise as of a point in time (the balance sheet date) and does not reflect the value of new
assets or liabilities the company may generate in the future. Because our intent generally has
been to hold our mortgage investments, the amounts we ultimately realize from the maturity,
settlement or disposition of these assets may vary significantly from the estimated fair values of
these assets as of December 31, 2008.

FORECLOSURE PREVENTION UPDATE

On February 18, 2009, the Obama Administration announced the Homeowner Affordability and
Stability Plan, which includes several initiatives. Under the plan, Fannie Mae will offer to financially
struggling homeowners loan modifications that reduce monthly principal and interest payments on
their mortgages. We will also help existing Fannie Mae borrowers who have mortgages with current
loan-to-value ratios up to 105 percent refinance their mortgages without obtaining new mortgage
insurance in excess of what was already in place. Lastly, we will play a role in administering the plan
on behalf of the Treasury.

In the fourth quarter, Fannie Mae undertook a number of initiatives to slow the pace of foreclosures
and encourage loan workouts. These included a foreclosure suspension on occupied properties and
the implementation of the Streamlined Modification Program (SMP). We expect that the Homeowner
Affordability and Stability Plan will replace the SMP. Fannie Mae also provided its mortgageservicing partners new flexibilities, including allowing loan workout actions to begin as soon as a
borrower demonstrates the need for help, regardless of delinquency status. In addition, Fannie Mae
doubled the maximum repayment-plan and forbearance periods for borrowers in need of loan
workouts.

Fannie Mae provided the following update to its foreclosure prevention efforts (including those
undertaken in conjunction with its servicing partners) for the fourth quarter and full year:


HomeSaver Advance™ loans of 25,783 in the fourth quarter, and 70,943 in 2008.



Loan modifications of 6,276 in the fourth quarter, and 33,249 in 2008.



Repayment plans/forbearances of 1,765 in the fourth quarter, and 7,875 in 2008.



Preforeclosure sales and deeds-in-lieu of foreclosure of 4,668 in the fourth quarter, and 11,682
in 2008.

We acquired 20,998 single-family real estate-owned (REO) properties through foreclosure in the
fourth quarter, compared with 29,583 in the third quarter. For the full year, single-family REO
acquisitions were 94,652, compared with 49,121 in 2007. As of December 31, 2008, our inventory of
single-family REO properties was 63,538, compared with 67,519 at the end of the third quarter and
33,729 on December 31, 2007. The decline in REO in the fourth quarter relative to the third quarter
was due in part to a suspension of foreclosures on occupied single-family properties by Fannie Mae
servicers and retained foreclosure attorneys that began on November 26, 2008. That program has
been extended until March 6, 2009.

Our single-family foreclosure rate, which reflects the number of single-family properties acquired
through foreclosure as a percentage of the total number of loans in our conventional single-family
mortgage credit book of business, was 0.46 percent on an annualized basis for the fourth quarter
of 2008, compared with 0.65 percent on an annualized basis in the third quarter of 2008. The
foreclosure rate was 0.52 percent for the year ended December 31, 2008, compared with 0.28
percent for 2007.

BUSINESS AND LIQUIDITY UPDATE

Our mortgage credit book of business increased to $3.11 trillion on December 31, 2008, from
$3.08 trillion on September 30, 2008, and $2.89 trillion on December 31, 2007. New business
acquisitions — Fannie Mae MBS issuances acquired by others and our mortgage portfolio
purchases — declined in the fourth quarter to $113.3 billion from $126.9 billion in the third
quarter, and to $631.4 billion in 2008 from $746.1 billion in 2007.

The decline reflected

significantly lower levels of originations throughout the mortgage industry, as well as changes in
our pricing and eligibility standards and those of mortgage insurance companies.

Our estimated market share of new, single-family mortgage-related securities issuances was 41.7
percent in the fourth quarter, down from 42.2 percent in the third quarter; and 45.4 percent for
2008, compared with 33.9 percent for 2007.

Our ability to issue debt at attractive terms, particularly long-term and callable debt, began to deteriorate
significantly in July 2008, and these conditions became most pronounced in October and November
2008, when spreads between our debt and relevant benchmarks increased substantially and purchases of
our debt by international investors fell. As a result, we relied increasingly on the issuance of short-term
debt to pay off maturing debt and to fund our ongoing business activities. Short-term debt represented
38 percent of our total debt outstanding on December 31, 2008, compared with 29 percent on December
31, 2007. We have seen significant improvement in our access to the debt markets since late November
2008, continuing into the first two months of this year, but there can be no assurance that this
improvement will continue.

On February 5, 2009, we issued $7 billion of 5-year Benchmark Notes® at a spread of 93 basis points to
comparable Treasury securities, a significant improvement in size and pricing from the fourth quarter.
And on February 26, 2009, we priced $15 billion of 2-year Benchmark Notes at a spread of 68 basis
points to comparable Treasury securities.

Fannie Mae conducts its activities through three complementary business segments: SingleFamily Credit Guaranty, Housing and Community Development (HCD), and Capital Markets.
Our Single-Family Credit Guaranty business works with our lender customers to securitize
single-family mortgage loans into Fannie Mae mortgage-backed securities (MBS) and to facilitate
the purchase of single-family mortgage loans for our mortgage portfolio. HCD works with our
lender customers to securitize multifamily mortgage loans into Fannie Mae MBS and to facilitate
the purchase of multifamily mortgage loans for our mortgage portfolio. Our HCD business also
makes debt and equity investments to increase the supply of affordable housing. Our Capital
Markets group manages our investment activity in mortgage loans, mortgage-related securities
and other investments, our debt financing activity, and our liquidity and capital positions.

Single-Family Credit Guaranty book of business was $2.80 trillion on December 31, 2008, up
1.1 percent from $2.77 trillion on September 30, 2008, and up 8.0 percent from $2.60 trillion on
December 31, 2007. Single-family guaranty fee income in the fourth quarter was $3.0 billion, up
from $1.7 billion in the third quarter. The Single-Family segment lost $9.5 billion in the quarter,
driven largely by continued elevated credit-related expenses.

Housing and Community Development’s multifamily guaranty book of business grew by 2.1
percent in the fourth quarter to $173.3 billion on December 31, 2008. The segment’s guaranty
fee income in the fourth quarter was $190 million, up from $161 million in the third quarter.
Multifamily credit-related expenses were $59 million in the fourth quarter, compared with $26
million in the third quarter. The HCD segment earned $188 million in the quarter, driven
primarily by tax-related benefits.

Capital Markets’ net interest income in the fourth quarter was $2.7 billion, up from $2.3 billion
in the third quarter. As described above, mark-to-market losses on interest rate derivatives were
$11.4 billion, compared with losses of $3.3 billion in the third quarter. Net investment losses
were $4.6 billion, compared with losses of $1.6 billion in the third quarter, and trading securities
losses were $1.9 billion, compared with losses of $2.9 billion in the third quarter. The net
mortgage investment portfolio balance rose to $765.1 billion on December 31, 2008, compared
with $744.7 billion on September 30, 2008. The increase resulted from purchases of $53.3
billion, liquidations of $16.3 billion, and sales of $7.4 billion during the quarter. The Capital
Markets segment lost $16.0 billion in the quarter, driven largely by mark-to-market losses on
derivatives, as well as net investment losses and trading securities losses.

Each of the amounts listed as a “fair value adjustment” represents the difference between the carrying value
included in our GAAP consolidated balance sheets and our best judgment of the estimated fair value of the
listed item.
We determined the estimated fair value of these financial instruments in accordance with the fair value
guidelines outlined in SFAS 157, as described in “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 20, Fair
Value of Financial Instruments.”
For business segment reporting purposes, we allocate intra-company guaranty fee income to our SingleFamily and HCD businesses for managing the credit risk on mortgage loans held in portfolio by our Capital
Markets group and charge a corresponding fee to our Capital Markets group. In computing this intracompany allocation, we disaggregate the total mortgage loans reported in our GAAP consolidated balance
sheets, which consists of “Mortgage loans held for sale” and “Mortgage loans held for investment, net of
allowance for loan losses” into components that separately reflect the value associated with credit risk, which
is managed by our guaranty businesses, and the interest rate risk, which is managed by our Capital Markets
group. We report the estimated fair value of the credit risk components separately in our supplemental nonGAAP consolidated fair value balance sheets as “Guaranty assets of mortgage loans held in portfolio” and
“Guaranty obligations of mortgage loans held in portfolio.” We report the estimated fair value of the interest
rate risk components in our supplemental non-GAAP consolidated fair value balance sheets as “Mortgage
loans held for sale” and “Mortgage loans held for investment, net of allowance for loan losses.” Taken
together, these four components represent the estimated fair value of the total mortgage loans reported in our
GAAP consolidated balance sheets. We believe this presentation provides transparency into the components
of the fair value of the mortgage loans associated with the activities of our guaranty businesses and the
components of the activities of our Capital Markets group, which is consistent with the way we manage risks
and allocate revenues and expenses for segment reporting purposes. While the carrying values and estimated
fair values of the individual line items may differ from the amounts presented in Note 20 of the consolidated
financial statements, the combined amounts together equal the carrying value and estimated fair value
amounts of total mortgage loans in Note 20.
In our GAAP consolidated balance sheets, we report the guaranty assets associated with our outstanding
Fannie Mae MBS and other guarantees as a separate line item and include buy-ups, master servicing assets
and credit enhancements associated with our guaranty assets in “Other assets.” The GAAP carrying value of
our guaranty assets reflects only those guaranty arrangements entered into subsequent to our adoption of
FIN No. 45, Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect
Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others (an interpretation of FASB Statements No. 5, 57, and 107 and
rescission of FIN No. 34) (“FIN 45”), on January 1, 2003. On a GAAP basis, our guaranty assets totaled $7.0
billion and $9.7 billion as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The associated buy-ups totaled $645
million and $944 million as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. In our non-GAAP fair value
balance sheets, we also disclose the estimated guaranty assets and obligations related to mortgage loans held
in our portfolio. The aggregate estimated fair value of the guaranty asset-related components totaled $8.2
billion and $18.1 billion as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. These components represent the
sum of the following line items in this table: (i) Guaranty assets of mortgage loans held in portfolio;
(ii) Guaranty obligations of mortgage loans held in portfolio, (iii) Guaranty assets and buy-ups; and
(iv) Master servicing assets and credit enhancements. See “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates—Fair
Value of Financial Instruments—Fair Value of Guaranty Obligations.”
The line items “Master servicing assets and credit enhancements” and “Other assets” together consist of the
assets presented on the following five line items in our GAAP consolidated balance sheets: (i) Accrued
interest receivable; (ii) Acquired property, net; (iii) Deferred tax assets; (iv) Partnership investments; and
(v) Other assets. The carrying value of these items in our GAAP consolidated balance sheets together totaled
$40.1 billion and $41.9 billion as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. We deduct the carrying value
of the buy-ups associated with our guaranty obligation, which totaled $645 million and $944 million as of
December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, from “Other assets” reported in our GAAP consolidated balance
sheets because buy-ups are a financial instrument that we combine with guaranty assets in our disclosure in
Note 20. We have estimated the fair value of master servicing assets and credit enhancements based on our

(6)

fair value methodologies discussed in Note 20.
With the exception of LIHTC partnership investments and deferred tax assets, the GAAP carrying values of
other assets generally approximate fair value. While we have included partnership investments at their
carrying value in each of the non-GAAP fair value balance sheets, the fair values of these items are generally
different from their GAAP carrying values, potentially materially. Our LIHTC partnership investments had a
carrying value of $6.3 billion and $8.1 billion and an estimated fair value of $6.5 billion and $9.3 billion as of
December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. We assume that certain other assets, consisting primarily of
prepaid expenses, have no fair value. Our GAAP-basis deferred tax assets are described in “Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 12, Income Taxes.” In addition to the GAAP-basis deferred income
tax amounts included in “Other assets,” we include in our non-GAAP fair value balance sheets the estimated
income tax effect related to the fair value adjustments made to derive the fair value of our net assets. Because
our adjusted deferred income taxes are a net asset in each year, the amounts are included in our non-GAAP
fair value balance sheets as a component of other assets. As discussed in Note 12, we recorded a non-cash
charge of $21.4 billion in the third quarter of 2008 to establish a partial deferred tax asset valuation allowance.
We recorded an additional valuation allowance of $9.4 billion in the fourth quarter of 2008, resulting in a total
deferred asset valuation allowance of $30.8 billion as of December 31, 2008. As a result, in calculating the
fair value of our net assets as of December 31, 2008, we eliminated the tax effect of deferred tax benefits we
would have otherwise recorded had we not concluded that it was necessary to establish a valuation allowance.
Includes certain short-term debt and long-term debt instruments reported in our GAAP consolidated balance
sheet at fair value as of December 31, 2008 of $4.5 billion and $21.6 billion, respectively.
The line item “Other liabilities” consists of the liabilities presented on the following four line items in our
GAAP consolidated balance sheets: (i) Accrued interest payable; (ii) Reserve for guaranty losses;
(iii) Partnership liabilities; and (iv) Other liabilities. The carrying value of these items in our GAAP
consolidated balance sheets together totaled $42.2 billion and $20.5 billion as of December 31, 2008 and
2007, respectively. The GAAP carrying values of these other liabilities generally approximate fair value. We
assume that certain other liabilities, such as deferred revenues, have no fair value. Although we report the
“Reserve for guaranty losses” as a separate line item on our consolidated balance sheets, it is incorporated into
and reported as part of the fair value of our guaranty obligations in our non-GAAP supplemental consolidated
fair value balance sheets.
