(1)When we measure impairment, including recoveries, based on the fair value of the loan or the underlying collateral and impairment is
recorded on any component of the mortgage loan, including accrued interest receivable and amounts due from the borrower for advances
of taxes and insurance, we present the entire fair value measurement amount with the corresponding mortgage loan.
The following is a description of the valuation techniques we use for fair value measurement and disclosure as well as
our basis for classifying these measurements as Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy in more specific
situations.
Instruments
Valuation Techniques
Classification
U.S Treasury
Securities and Futures
We classify securities whose values are based on quoted market prices in active markets for
identical assets as Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. These are comprised of US Treasury
securities and futures which are classified as trading securities.
Level 1
Other Trading
Securities and
Available-for-Sale
Securities
We classify securities in active markets as Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy if quoted market
prices in active markets for identical assets are not available. For all valuation techniques used for
securities where there is limited activity or less transparency around these inputs to the valuation,
these securities are classified as Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.
Single Vendor: Uses one vendor price to estimate fair value. We generally validate these
observations of fair value through the use of a discounted cash flow technique whose unobservable
inputs (for example, spreads) are disclosed in the table above.
Consensus: Uses an average of two or more vendor prices for similar securities. We generally
validate these observations of fair value through the use of a discounted cash flow technique
whose unobservable inputs (for example, spreads) are disclosed in the table above.
Level 2 and 3
Discounted Cash Flow: In the absence of prices provided by third-party pricing services supported
by observable market data, we estimate the fair value of a portion of our securities using a
discounted cash flow technique that uses inputs such as default rates, prepayment speeds, loss
severity and spreads based on market assumptions where available.
Other: Default pricing to par or par equivalent.
For private-label securities, an increase in unobservable prepayment speeds in isolation would
generally result in an increase in fair value, and an increase in unobservable spreads, severity
rates or default rates in isolation would generally result in a decrease in fair value. For mortgage
revenue bonds classified as Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy, an increase in unobservable
spreads would result in a decrease in fair value. Although we have disclosed unobservable inputs
for the fair value of our recurring Level 3 securities above, interrelationships exist among these
inputs such that a change in one unobservable input typically results in a change to one or more of
the other inputs.
Mortgage Loans Held
for Investment
Build-up: We derive the fair value of performing mortgage loans using a build-up valuation
technique starting with the base value for our Fannie Mae MBS with similar characteristics and
then add or subtract the fair value of the associated guaranty asset, guaranty obligation (“GO”) and
master servicing arrangement. We set the GO equal to the estimated fair value we would receive if
we were to issue our guaranty to an unrelated party in a stand-alone arm’s length transaction at the
measurement date. The fair value of the GO is estimated based on our current guaranty pricing for
loans underwritten after 2008 and our internal valuation models considering management’s best
estimate of key loan characteristics for loans underwritten before 2008. Our performing loans are
generally classified as Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy to the extent that significant inputs are
observable. To the extent that unobservable inputs are significant, the loans are classified as Level
3 of the valuation hierarchy.
Level 2 and 3
Consensus: Calculated through the extrapolation of indicative sample bids obtained from multiple
active market participants plus the estimated value of any applicable mortgage insurance, the
estimated fair value using the Consensus method represents an estimate of the prices we would
receive if we were to sell these single-family nonperforming and certain reperforming loans in the
whole loan market. The fair value of any mortgage insurance on a nonperforming or reperforming
loan is estimated using product-specific pricing grids that have been derived from loan-level bids on
whole loan transactions. These loans are generally classified as Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy
because significant inputs are unobservable. To the extent that significant inputs are observable,
the loans are classified as Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.
We estimate the fair value for a portion of our senior-subordinated trust structures using the prices
at the security level as a proxy for estimating loan fair value. These loans are classified as Level 3
of the valuation hierarchy because significant inputs are unobservable.
Single Vendor: We estimate the fair value of our reverse mortgages using the single vendor
valuation technique.
Internal Model: The internal model used to value collateral contains four sub-component models: 1)
Location Model, 2) Neighborhood Model, 3) Automated Valuation Model (“AVM”) Imputation Model
and 4) Final Valuation Model. These models consider characteristics of the property, neighborhood,
local housing markets, underlying loan and home price growth to derive a final estimated value.
These loans are classified as Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy because significant inputs are
unobservable.
Instruments
Valuation Techniques
Classification
Mortgage Loans Held
for Investment
Appraisal: We use appraisals to estimate the fair value for a portion of our multifamily loans based
on either estimated replacement cost, the present value of future cash flows, or sales of similar
properties. Significant unobservable inputs include estimated replacement or construction costs,
property net operating income, capitalization rates, and adjustments made to sales of comparable
properties based on characteristics such as financing, conditions of sale, and physical
characteristics of the property.
Broker Price Opinion: We use broker price opinions to estimate the fair value for a portion of our
multifamily loans. This technique uses both current property value and the property value adjusted
for stabilization and market conditions. The unobservable inputs used in this technique are property
net operating income and market capitalization rates to estimate property value.
Asset Manager Estimate: This technique uses the net operating income and tax assessments of
the specific property as well as Metropolitan Statistical Area-specific market capitalization rates and
average per unit sales values to estimate property fair value.
Level 2 and 3
An increase in prepayment speeds in isolation would generally result in an increase in the fair value
of our mortgage loans classified as Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy, and an increase in severity
rates, default rates or spreads in isolation would generally result in a decrease in fair value.
Although we have disclosed unobservable inputs for the fair value of the mortgage loans classified
as Level 3 above, interrelationships exist among these inputs such that a change in one
unobservable input typically results in a change to one or more of the other inputs.
Mortgage Loans Held
for Sale
Loans are reported at the lower of cost or fair value in our consolidated balance sheets. The
valuation methodology and inputs used in estimating the fair value of HFS loans are the same as
our HFI loans and are described above in “Mortgage Loans Held for Investment.” To the extent that
significant inputs are unobservable, the loans are classified within level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.
Level 2 and 3
Acquired Property, Net
and Other Assets
Single-family acquired property valuation techniques
Accepted Offer: An Offer to Purchase Real Estate that has been submitted by a potential purchaser
of an acquired property and accepted by Fannie Mae in a pending sale.
Appraisal: An appraisal is an estimate based on recent historical data of the value of a specific
property by a certified or licensed appraiser. Adjustments are made for differences between
comparable properties for unobservable inputs such as square footage, location, and condition of
the property.
Broker Price Opinion: This technique provides an estimate of what the property is worth based
upon a real estate broker’s use of specific market research and a sales comparison approach that
is similar to the appraisal process. This information, all of which is unobservable, is used along with
recent and pending sales and current listings of similar properties to arrive at an estimate of value.
Level 3
Property Inspection Report with Value: This technique provides an estimate of what the property is
worth based upon a third party model that is adjusted for condition of the property and/or any other
factors impacting the marketability.
Appraisal and Broker Price Opinion, and Property Inspection Report with Value Walk Forward
(“Walk Forward”): We use these techniques to adjust appraisal, broker price opinion, and property
inspection valuations for changing market conditions by applying a walk forward factor based on
local price movements since the time the third-party value was obtained.
Internal Model: We use an internal model to estimate fair value for distressed properties. The
valuation methodology and inputs used are described under “Mortgage Loans Held for Investment.”
Multifamily acquired property valuation techniques
Appraisal: We use this method to estimate property values for distressed properties. The valuation
methodology and inputs used are described under “Mortgage Loans Held for Investment.”
Broker Price Opinion: We use this method to estimate property values for distressed properties.
The valuation methodology and inputs used are described under “Mortgage Loans Held for
Investment.”
Asset Manager Estimate: We use this method to estimate property values for distressed properties.
The valuation methodology and inputs used are described under “Mortgage Loans Held for
Investment.”
Instruments
Valuation Techniques
Classification
Asset and Liability
Derivative Instruments
(collectively
“Derivatives”)
The valuation process for the majority of our risk management derivatives uses observable market
data provided by third-party sources, resulting in Level 2 classification of the valuation hierarchy.
Single Vendor: We use one vendor price to estimate fair value. We generally validate these
observations of fair value through the use of a discounted cash flow technique.
Clearing House: We use the clearing house-provided value for interest-rate derivatives which are
transacted through a clearing house.
Internal Model: We use internal models to value interest-rate derivatives which are valued by
referencing yield curves derived from observable interest rates and spreads to project and discount
cash flows to present value.
Discounted Cash Flow: We use discounted cash flow to estimate fair value for credit enhancement
derivatives related to CRT.
Dealer Mark: Certain highly complex structured swaps primarily use a single dealer mark due to
lack of transparency in the market and may be modeled using observable interest rates and
volatility levels as well as significant unobservable assumptions, resulting in Level 3 classification of
the valuation hierarchy. Mortgage commitment derivatives that use observable market data, quotes
and actual transaction price levels adjusted for market movement are typically classified as Level 2
of the valuation hierarchy. To the extent mortgage commitment derivatives include adjustments for
market movement that cannot be corroborated by observable market data, we classify them as
Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.
Level 2 and 3
Debt of Fannie Mae
and Consolidated
Trusts
We classify debt instruments that have quoted market prices in active markets for similar liabilities
when traded as assets as Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. For all valuation techniques used for
debt instruments where there is limited activity or less transparency around these inputs to the
valuation, these debt instruments are classified as Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.
Consensus: Uses an average of two or more vendor prices or dealer marks that represents
estimated fair value for similar liabilities when traded as assets.
Single Vendor: Uses a single vendor price that represents estimated fair value for these liabilities
when traded as assets.
Discounted Cash Flow: Uses spreads based on market assumptions where available.
Other: Default pricing to par or par equivalent.
The valuation methodology and inputs used in estimating the fair value of MBS assets are
described under “Trading Securities and Available-for-Sale Securities.”
Level 2 and 3
The following is a description of the valuation techniques we use for fair value measurement of our financial instruments
as well as our basis for classifying these measurements as Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy in
certain specific situations.
Instruments
Description
Classification
Financial Instruments
for which Fair Value
Approximates Carrying
Value
We hold certain financial instruments that are not carried at fair value but for which the carrying
value approximates fair value due to the short-term nature and negligible credit risk inherent in
them. These financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, the majority of advances to
lenders, and securities sold/purchased under agreements to repurchase/resell.
Level 1 and 2
Securities Sold/
Purchased Under
Agreements to
Repurchase/Resell
The carrying value for the majority of these specific instruments approximates the fair value due to
the short-term nature and the negligible inherent credit risk, as they involve the exchange of
collateral that is easily traded. Were we to calculate the fair value of these instruments, we would
use observable inputs.
Level 2
Mortgage Loans Held
for Sale
Loans are reported at the lower of cost or fair value in our consolidated balance sheets. The
valuation methodology and inputs used in estimating the fair value of HFS loans are the same as
for our HFI loans and are described under “Fair Value Measurement—Mortgage Loans Held for
Investment” in the valuation techniques for assets and liabilities held at fair value table. To the
extent that significant inputs are unobservable, the loans are classified within Level 3 of the
valuation hierarchy.
Level 2 and 3
Mortgage Loans Held
for Investment
For a description of loan valuation techniques, refer to “Fair Value Measurement—Mortgage Loans
Held for Investment” in the valuation techniques for assets and liabilities held at fair value table. We
measure the fair value of certain loans that are delivered under the Home Affordable Refinance
Program® (“HARP®”) using a modified build-up approach while the loan is performing. Under this
modified approach, we set the credit component of the consolidated loans (that is, the guaranty
obligation) equal to the compensation we would currently receive for a loan delivered to us under
the program because the total compensation for these loans is equal to their current exit price in
the government-sponsored enterprise securitization market. If, subsequent to delivery, the
refinanced loan becomes past due or is modified, the fair value of the guaranty obligation is then
measured consistent with other loans that have similar characteristics.
Level 2 and 3
Advances to Lenders
The carrying value for the majority of our advances to lenders approximates the fair value due to
the short-term nature and the negligible inherent credit risk. If we were to calculate the fair value of
these instruments, we would use discounted cash flow models that use observable inputs such as
spreads based on market assumptions, resulting in Level 2 classification. Advances to lenders also
include loans that do not qualify for Fannie Mae MBS securitization and are valued using a
discounted cash flow technique that uses estimated credit spreads of similar collateral and
prepayment speeds that consider recent prepayment activity. We classify these valuations as Level
3 given that significant inputs are not observable or are determined by extrapolation of observable
inputs.
Level 2 and 3
Guaranty Assets and
Buy-ups
Guaranty assets related to our portfolio securitizations are recorded in our consolidated balance
sheets at fair value on a recurring basis and are classified as Level 3. Guaranty assets in lender
swap transactions are recorded in our consolidated balance sheets at the lower of cost or fair
value. These assets, which are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, are also classified
as Level 3.
We estimate the fair value of guaranty assets by using proprietary models to project cash flows
based on management’s best estimate of key assumptions such as prepayment speeds and
forward yield curves. Because guaranty assets are similar to an interest-only income stream, the
projected cash flows are discounted at rates that consider the current spreads on interest-only
swaps that reference Fannie Mae MBS and also liquidity considerations of the guaranty assets.
The fair value of guaranty assets includes the fair value of any associated buy-ups.
Level 3
Guaranty Obligations
The fair value of all guaranty obligations, measured subsequent to their initial recognition, is our
estimate of a hypothetical transaction price we would receive if we were to issue our guaranty to an
unrelated party in a standalone arm’s-length transaction at the measurement date. The valuation
methodology and inputs used in estimating the fair value of the guaranty obligations are described
under “Fair Value Measurement—Mortgage loans held for investment—build-up” in the valuation
techniques for assets and liabilities held at fair value.
Level 3
Fair Value of Financial Instruments The following table displays the carrying value and estimated fair value of our financial instruments. The fair value of
financial instruments we disclose includes commitments to purchase multifamily and single-family mortgage loans that
we do not record in our consolidated balance sheets. The fair values of these commitments are included as “Mortgage
loans held for investment, net of allowance for loan losses.” The disclosure excludes all non-financial instruments;
therefore, the fair value of our financial assets and liabilities does not represent the underlying fair value of our total
consolidated assets and liabilities.
