Fannie and Freddie Results in Q2: REO inventory declines, "modest increase in REO prices"

From Fannie Mae:

• Fannie Mae reported net income of $3.7 billion and comprehensive income of $3.7 billion for the second quarter of 2014.

• Fannie Mae expects to pay Treasury $3.7 billion in dividends in September 2014. With the expected September dividend payment, Fannie Mae will have paid a total of $130.5 billion in dividends to Treasury in comparison to $116.1 billion in draw requests since 2008. Dividend payments do not offset prior Treasury draws.

...

Foreclosed property income decreased in the second quarter and first half of 2014 compared with the second quarter and first half of 2013 due to a decrease in gains recognized on dispositions of our REO properties. During the second quarter and first half of 2014, we experienced a modest increase in REO prices compared with a significant increase in REO prices in the second quarter and first half of 2013.

emphasis added

From Freddie Mac:

• Net income was $1.4 billion – the company’s eleventh consecutive quarter of positive earnings, compared to $4.0 billion in first quarter of 2014

• Based on June 30, 2014 net worth of $4.3 billion, the company’s September 2014 dividend obligation will be $1.9 billion, bringing total cash dividends paid to Treasury to $88.2 billion.
