Each quarter, Fannie Mae evaluates the recoverability of its deferred tax assets, weighing a complex set of factors. The company is required to establish or maintain a valuation allowance for these assets if it determines that it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Fannie Mae established a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets in 2008.
In evaluating the recoverability of Fannie Mae’s deferred tax assets, as of December 31, 2012, the company again determined that the factors in favor of maintaining the allowance outweighed the factors in favor of releasing it. Therefore, Fannie Mae did not release any of its valuation allowance as of
December 31, 2012. The valuation allowance as of December 31, 2012 was $58.9 billion.
If and when Fannie Mae does release the valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets, it will be included as income in that period and will result in a corresponding increase in the company’s net worth as of the end of that period. Accordingly, Fannie Mae expects to pay Treasury a significant dividend in the quarter following a release of the valuation allowance on the company’s deferred tax assets. Although Fannie Mae has not completed its analysis, the company believes that, after considering all relevant factors, it may release the valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets as early as the first quarter of 2013.
