The ongoing Common Equity Sweep not only is seen in the Income Statement posted yesterday.
Net Income
Less the amount of SPS LP increased for free (10% and NWS dividends on SPS before)
= Net Income Attributable to common shareholders
Thus, close to $0 EPS every quarter.
It's also seen in the other Financial Statement, the Balance Sheet, if it wasn't because it's missing both the $125B SPS LP increased for free, and its offset with $125B reduction of Retained Earnings account (Financial Statement fraud).
Fannie Mae: There is always $121B SPS LP, when the real SPS LP oustanding as of December 31, 2023, including the one scheduled to be increased on March 31 that must show up as well, is $199B.
Freddie Mac: The SPS LP stuck at $73B every quarter, when the real SPS LP outanding, including the one scheduled to be increased on March 31, is $120B.
As we can see in the Adjusted Net Worth activity table:
Another capital distribution, restricted, we consider that this Common Equity is held in escrow, in compliance with the exception "for Recap" in the Restriction on Capital Distributions (CFR 1237.12) and also with the FHFA-C's Rehab power: Put FnF in a sound and solvent condition, related to Capital levels.
Because this payment existed and we are just legalizing. Carry out thanks to the FHFA-C's Incidental Power (Any action authorized by this section, in the best interests of FnF or the Agency): 3rd phase: "Just joking. Zing!"
This is what the FHFA is interested in.
Sandra Thompson continues to peddle the lie about capital requirements met with "$125B Capital Reserve" (amount of Net Worth above the Capital Stock) that she sees on the Balance Sheet, in her written testimony in Congress last week. Enough reason to fire her for cause, because the FHEFSSA and her own ERCF state otherwise (they are met either with Core Capital, Total Capital, CET1 or Tier 1 Capital)
By the way, once adjusted for the Financial Statement fraud mentioned, the Capital Reserve =$0 (All the Net Worth is SPS)
The FHFA Director doesn't have authority to break the Charter Act with the CRT operations.
Let alone to set up a parallel Housing Finance System with them, called "GSE Reform".
CRT is only authorized the UST with its portion (Capital Magnet Fund) of the 4.2 bps allocated to two Affordable Housing Funds managed by HUD and the UST. Source.
The CRT is a normal bond used as an excuse to make FnF pay interests, that began with a steep 5% - 6% rate, which looked like the fraud in early conservatorship with their 30-year zero coupon callable MTNs, where FnF paid an outstanding rate when they were redeemed soon after being issued.
Now, they include arrangements in these back-end CRT "Bonds" (after FnF had carried out foreclosure prevention actions to bail out these CRT investors), and thus, it serves at the will of a random FHFA director whether he requires the payment of claims or not (Utility Model).
On the other hand, the PMI required to borrowers with LTV >80%, and today's Commingled Securities (Catastrophic-Loss Reinsurance or resecuritizations) 100% insured by other guarantors against default, are authorized CRT operations (number 1 and number 3 in the clause Credit Enhancement of the Charte Act, respectively)
It's precisely, the Commingled Securites or Catastrophic-Loss Reinsurance, a new product for the 3-option Privatized Housing Finance System revamp, chosen by the UST in 2011 for the release from conservatorship, at the request of the Dodd-Frank law, because the option 3 is a Government Catastrophic-Loss Reinsurance and this product enables it:
This product can be used for a private Catastrophic-Loss Reinsurance as well, and then, we would be in the option 1 or 2.
It wasn't created to make FnF reinsure each other's UMBSs. Currently a pilot program, but, at some point, it has to be announced one of the 3 options.
This product was unveiled by Freddie Mac in June 2022 (Source. Notice how it's written that it began with a price of 50 bps. One week later, the FHFA changed it for 9.375 bps to better reflect the 2011 UST plan we are bound for, and not the ill-conceived Mnuchin's 2019 Plan with a Government Explicit Guarantee on MBSs)
It isn't the same a MBS with Govt Catastrophic-Loss Reinsurance and a MBS with Govt Explicit Gtee. In the first one, the credit risk is covered by private guarantors. It's activated once it files for bankruptcy.
Today, the MBS is guaranteed by FnF and there is only a cheap UST backup of FnF upon negative Net Worth. That's it. The "MBS with a Govt Implicit Gtee" is an attempt to conceal the reality of a UST backup of FnF.
The FHFA has a tendency to deviate from the normal course and it corrects itself, or, sometimes, it needs help.
The PLMBS was a product not authorized in this clause (Unlawful. Lack of credit enhancement operation) and it was one of the reasons for the conservatorships.
This time, the rogue FHFA can't be authorized to break the law again at its will, regardless that JPM, the Mnuchin Treasury Department and Mike Bloomberg (included in his electoral manifesto posted yesterday) love the CRTs. Barred in FnF.
The grounds for a Housing Finance System revamp ("GSE Reform") was initiated by FHFA's DeMarco, in light of the 2011 UST plan for the release, that included g-fee hikes, Basel framework for capital requirements: "capital standards that cover the risk as if it was held by the banks" (Mel Watt attempted to deviate from this course in his proposed Capital Rule, and he was corrected by Calabria),...., that would end up with the removal of the most privilege of all: the Charter's UST backup of FnF (Charter revoked).

Look at the facts, not "experts" opinions. Fannie & Freddie had $95 billion in capital before the fraudulent "temporary" conservatorship. Despite their conservators, including @MarkCalabria , swindling $301 billion of their equity they still have $125 billion.

Fannie Mae (the Federal National Mortgage Association, or FNMA) is a government-sponsored enterprise (GSE) in the U.S. that was established in 1938. Its main purpose is to provide liquidity, stability, and affordability to the U.S. housing market. It does this by purchasing mortgages from lenders (like banks), packaging them into mortgage-backed securities (MBS), and selling those securities to investors. This process ensures that lenders have more capital to issue new home loans, helping more Americans get access to homeownership.
