Freddie Mac (FRE, Financial) filed Quarterly Report for the period ended 2009-09-30.
Freddie Mac is a stockholder-owned corporation that supports homeownership and rental housing. Freddie Mac purchases single-family and multifamily residential mortgages and mortgage-related securities which it finances primarily by issuing mortgage passthrough securities and debt instruments in the capital markets. (Company Press Release) Freddie Mac has a market cap of $810.5 million; its shares were traded at around $1.25 with and P/S ratio of 0.1. Freddie Mac had an annual average earning growth of 40.3% over the past 10 years.
Net income (loss) was $(5.0) billion and $(25.3) billion for the third quarters of 2009 and 2008, respectively. Net loss decreased in the third quarter of 2009 compared to the third quarter of 2008, principally due to lower impairment-related losses on mortgage-related securities, higher net interest income, and fair value gains on our guarantee asset and other investment activities, compared to losses on these items during the third quarter of 2008. These income and gains for the third quarter of 2009 were partially offset by increased provision for credit losses, losses on debt recorded at fair value and losses on loans purchased, compared to the third quarter of 2008.
Net interest income was $4.5 billion for the third quarter of 2009, compared to $1.8 billion for the third quarter of 2008. As compared to the third quarter of 2008, we held higher amounts of fixed-rate mortgage loans and agency mortgage-related securities in our mortgage-related investments portfolio and had lower funding costs, due to significantly lower interest rates on our short- and long-term borrowings during the three months ended September 30, 2009. Net interest income during the three months ended September 30, 2009 also benefited from the funds we received from Treasury under the Purchase Agreement. These funds generate net interest income, because the costs of such funds are not reflected in interest expense, but instead as dividends paid on senior preferred stock.
Non-interest income (loss) was $(1.1) billion for the three months ended September 30, 2009, compared to $(11.4) billion for the three months ended September 30, 2008. The decrease in non-interest loss in the third quarter of 2009 was primarily due to improvements in investment activity, which was a gain of $1.4 billion in the third quarter of 2009 as compared to a loss of $9.8 billion in the third quarter of 2008, and our guarantee asset, which was a gain of $0.6 billion in the third quarter of 2009 as compared to a loss of $1.7 billion in the third quarter of 2008. These improvements were partially offset by a $2.3 billion increase in derivatives losses, net of foreign-currency related effects. The decrease in losses on investment activity during the third quarter of 2009 was due principally to lower impairment-related losses primarily recognized on available-for-sale non-agency mortgage-related securities backed by subprime, option ARM, Alt-A and other loans during the quarter, which decreased to $1.2 billion in the third quarter of 2009, compared to $9.1 billion in the third quarter of 2008.
Non-interest expenses increased to $8.5 billion in the third quarter of 2009 from $7.8 billion in the third quarter of 2008 due primarily to higher provision for credit losses. Our results for the third quarter of 2008 included a non-recurring securities administrator loss on investment activity of $1.1 billion related to the September 2008 bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers Holdings, Inc. Credit-related expenses totaled $7.5 billion and $6.0 billion for the third quarters of 2009 and 2008, respectively, and included our provision for credit losses of $7.6 billion and $5.7 billion, respectively. The increase in provision for credit losses was primarily due to the continued credit deterioration in our single-family mortgage portfolio, reflected in further increases in delinquency rates. Losses on loans purchased increased to $531 million for the third quarter of 2009, compared to $252 million for the third quarter of 2008, due to lower market valuations for delinquent and modified loans in the third quarter of 2009, as compared to the third quarter of 2008. We expect to incur losses on loans purchased in the fourth quarter of 2009. Administrative expenses totaled $433 million for the third quarter of 2009, up from $308 million for the third quarter of 2008, primarily due to a partial reversal of short-term compensation expenses recorded in the third quarter of 2008.

Highlight of Business Operations:
We had net loss attributable to Freddie Mac of $5.0 billion for the third quarter of 2009 and total equity of $10.4 billion as of September 30, 2009. Net loss attributable to common stockholders was $6.3 billion for the third quarter of 2009, which includes the payment of $1.3 billion of dividends in cash on the senior preferred stock. Our financial results for the third quarter of 2009, compared to the second quarter of 2009, reflect the unfavorable impact of decreased interest rates on the fair value of our derivatives and our guarantee asset, as well as increased credit-related expenses. These unfavorable impacts were partially offset by gains on trading securities due to tightening OAS and lower interest rates, gains on sales of available-for-sale securities and reduced net impairments on available-for-sale securities recognized in earnings. Total equity increased $2.2 billion during the quarter from $8.2 billion as of June 30, 2009. The increase included $8.3 billion of fair value improvement on available-for-sale securities within AOCI, due primarily to declines in interest rates and tightening of mortgage-to-debt OAS, offset by the third quarter 2009 net loss attributable to Freddie Mac of $5.0 billion and senior preferred stock dividends of $1.3 billion.Net income (loss) was $(5.0) billion and $(25.3) billion for the third quarters of 2009 and 2008, respectively. Net loss decreased in the third quarter of 2009 compared to the third quarter of 2008, principally due to lower impairment-related losses on mortgage-related securities, higher net interest income, and fair value gains on our guarantee asset and other investment activities, compared to losses on these items during the third quarter of 2008.
