BUSINESS SEGMENTS
We have three business segments for management reporting purposes: Single-Family Credit Guaranty, Multifamily and
Capital Markets. In this report we refer to our business groups that run these segments as our “Single-Family business,” our
“Multifamily business” and our “Capital Markets group.” These groups engage in complementary business activities in
pursuing our mission of providing liquidity, stability and affordability to the U.S. housing market. These activities are
summarized in the table below and described in more detail following this table. We also summarize in the table below the
