The players

The details
The revenue growth was driven by higher net interest income as the average balances within the retained mortgage portfolio expanded. Despite these gains, Fannie Mae saw a decline in comprehensive income, which was affected by unrealized losses on available-for-sale U.S. Treasury securities and a higher provision for credit losses.
