Third Quarter 2024
Net income of $0.5 billion, up 47% year-over-year.
•Net revenues were $0.8 billion for the third quarter of 2024, up 2% year-over-year, driven by higher net interest income, partially offset by lower non-interest income.
•Benefit for credit losses was $92 million for the third quarter of 2024, primarily driven by a credit reserve release due to enhancements in the credit loss estimation process.
•Non-interest expense was $217 million, down $49 million year-over-year, as the prior year period included an allocation of $63 million for the $313 million accrual for the adverse judgment at trial.

About Freddie Mac’s Conservatorship
Since September 2008, Freddie Mac has been operating under conservatorship with FHFA as Conservator. The support provided by Treasury pursuant to the Purchase Agreement enables the company to maintain access to the debt markets and have adequate liquidity to conduct its normal business operations. The amount of funding available to Freddie Mac under the Purchase Agreement was $140.2 billion at September 30, 2024.
Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, Freddie Mac will not be required to pay a dividend to Treasury on the senior preferred stock until it has built sufficient capital to meet the capital requirements and buffers set forth in the Enterprise Regulatory Capital Framework. As a result, the company was not required to pay a dividend to Treasury on the senior preferred stock in September 2024. As the company builds capital during this period, the quarterly increases in its Net Worth Amount have been, or will be, added to the aggregate liquidation preference of the senior preferred stock. The liquidation preference of the senior preferred stock increased to $125.9 billion on September 30, 2024 based on the increase in the Net Worth Amount during the second quarter of 2024, and will increase to $129.0 billion on December 31, 2024 based on the increase in the Net Worth Amount during the third quarter of 2024.
