McLean, VA — Freddie Mac (OTCQB: FMCC) today reported net income of $3.2 billion for the fourth quarter of 2024, an increase of 11% year-over-year, primarily driven by higher net revenues, partially offset by a provision for credit losses in the current period compared to a benefit for credit losses in the prior period.
