Fannie Mae Earns $3.7 Billion in First Quarter 2026 (Form 8-K)

Fannie Mae Earns $3.7 Billion in First Quarter 2026
•33rd straight quarterly profit driven by steady net revenues(1) and stable guaranty book
•Net worth reached $112.7 billion; a $99.2 billion increase since the start of 2020
•Administrative expenses fell 19% from prior quarter, reflecting cost-cutting actions and enhanced operational efficiency
•Illustrative return on average required CET1(2) capital of 10.4%, up from 10.2% in the fourth quarter of 2025
WASHINGTON, DC - April 29, 2026 - Fannie Mae (FNMA/OTCQB) earned $3.7 billion in net income for the first quarter of 2026, compared with $3.5 billion for the fourth quarter of 2025, and increased its net worth to $112.7 billion as of March 31, 2026. Net revenues were steady compared with the fourth quarter of 2025; the increase in net income was primarily driven by a shift from fair value losses to gains and lower administrative expenses, partially offset by a shift from investment gains to losses.

William J. Pulte, Director, U.S. Federal Housing, and Chairman, Fannie Mae Board of Directors:
"Fannie Mae is a far more effective and leaner company than it was a year ago, with solid earnings, lower expenses, and $112.7 billion in net worth. A financially sound and dependable Fannie Mae is essential to the long-term health of the housing and mortgage markets."

Peter Akwaboah, Acting Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer, Fannie Mae:
"Fannie Mae's first quarter net income of $3.7 billion reflects the health of our guaranty business, the discipline of our execution, and the strength of our balance sheet. We remain focused on our mission - to provide uninterrupted liquidity in all economic cycles to support stability and affordability to the U.S. housing market."

As of March 31, 2026, the company's actual available CET1 capital was a deficit of $37 billion. For each applicable period, the illustrative return on average required CET1 ratio is calculated based on annualized year-to-date net income for the period divided by the average CET1 capital requirement for each quarter to date during the applicable year plus the fourth quarter of the previous year.
