28 FANNIE TOPS INDUSTRY CHART WITH IMPRESSIVE GAINS Fannie Mae released its second-quarter earn- ings in August, which boasted industry-high increases. e Government-Sponsored Enter- prise reported $3.2 billion in net income, and $3.1 billion in comprehensive income. is sum is approximately $500,000 greater than the recorded income for the first quarter of 2017, which was $2.8 billion. e GSE attributes this boost in income to credit-related revenue, as well as to a shift to investment gains as opposed to investment losses Fannie saw in the first quarter. Further, its con- tribution to the Treasury in the form of dividends amounted to $2.8 billion for the month of June. rough the second quarter of the year, Fannie Mae has paid a total of $162.7 billion to the Trea- sury in dividends and expects to pay an additional $3.1 billion this month, if the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) calls in a dividend. Fannie Mae, in addition, provided $135 billion of liquidity to the mortgage industry in an at- tempt to enable families to buy, refinance, or rent homes, making them the largest provider in the industry. e lender has also made an exceptional business change in the last three months in transitioning from a portfolio-based business to a guaranty-focused business—the latter has accounted for 75 percent of the company's net income for the first half of 2017. It estimates the figure will continue to increase through the rest of the year as it works to reduce its retained mortgage portfolio. Fannie Mae continues to contribute to the housing finance system by reducing risk to lend- ers and making long-term fixed-rate mortgages accessible to people across the country. e GSE pledges to continue to increase its role in credit risk transaction. As of June 30, Fannie covered nearly $798 billion of unpaid principal balance in single-family mortgages, which accounts for 28 percent of the loans in its guaranty book of business.
