FAIRHOLME CAPITAL MANAGEMENT, L.L.C.PORTFOLIO MANAGER’S REPORTFor the Year Ended December 31, 2020Mutual fund investing involves risks, including possible loss of principal. Unless otherwise specified, all information is shown as of December 31,2020. Past performance information quoted below does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment inThe Fairholme Fund (the “Fund”) will fluctuate so that the value of an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than theiroriginal cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than quoted performance information quoted below. Performance figures reflect thededuction of expenses and assume reinvestment of dividends and capital gains but do not reflect a 2.00% redemption fee imposed by the Fund onshares redeemed or exchanged within 60 calendar days of their purchase. Most recent month-end performance and answers to any questions youmay have can be obtained by calling Shareholder Services at (866) 202-2263. The Fund maintains a focused portfolio of investments in a limitednumber of issuers and does not seek to diversify its investments. This exposes the Fund to the risk of unanticipated industry conditions and risksparticular to a single company or the securities of a single company within its portfolio. Current and future portfolio holdings are subject to changeand risk. The S&P 500 Index (the “S&P 500”) is a widely recognized, unmanaged index of 500 of the largest companies in the United States asmeasured by market capitalization and the performance of the S&P 500 assumes the reinvestment of all dividends and distributions. The S&P 500is used for comparative purposes only, and is not meant to be indicative of the Fund’s performance, asset composition, or volatility. The Fund’sperformance may differ markedly from the performance of the S&P 500 in either up or down market trends. Because an index cannot be invested indirectly, the index returns do not reflect a deduction for fees, expenses, or taxes. The expense ratio for the Fund reflected in the current prospectusdated March 27, 2020, is 1.00%, and may differ from the actual expenses incurred by the Fund for the period covered by the Fund’s Annual Report.Effective January 1, 2018, the Manager agreed to waive, on a voluntary basis, a portion of the management fee of the Fund to the extent necessary to limit themanagement fee paid to the Manager by the Fund to an annual rate of 0.80% of the Fund’s daily average net asset value. This undertaking may be terminated by theManager upon 60 days’ written notice to the Fund.The Portfolio Manager’s Report is not part of The Fairholme Funds, Inc.

FAIRHOLME CAPITAL MANAGEMENT, L.L.C.PORTFOLIO MANAGER’S REPORT (continued)For the Year Ended December 31, 2020January 28, 2021Dear Fellow Shareholders:The Fairholme Fund increased 46.9% versus an 18.4% increase for the S&P 500 Index in 2020. The preceding graph and performance tablecompare The Fairholme Fund’s unaudited performance (after expenses) with that of the S&P 500 Index, with dividends and distributions reinvested,for various periods ended December 31, 2020. The value of a 10,000 investment in The Fairholme Fund at its inception was worth 83,577(assumes reinvestment of distributions into additional Fund shares) compared to 38,539 for the S&P 500 Index at December 31, 2020. Focusedinvesting has led to overall performance that is more than twice that of the Index.St. Joe’s common stock price increased last year by 120%. The company is uniquely positioned for decades of profitable growth along NorthwestFlorida’s Emerald Coast. Residential, commercial, and hospitality segments are breaking records. Pricing is robust. Homes sell before completion.Apartments are fully occupied. Clubs by JOE expands. Hotels are in construction at Seagrove Beach, Camp Creek, Beaches International Airport,Pier Park, Panama City Beach’s Sports Complex, and Panama City’s downtown marina. The Powder Room, Watercrest, and WatersoundInsurance opened for business. Latitude Margaritaville Watersound will soon open. Tyndall AFB’s multi-billion dollar expansion will requirethousands of additional homes. St. Joe is only scratching the surface.Homes on Florida’s Emerald Coast, South of SR 98, sell for at least 1,000,000 – and multiples more. North of the highway, at Watersound Origins,homes price about 630,000. East, at Breakfast Point, homes average around 400,000. North of the intra-costal waterway, Latitude prices startabout 250,000. Commercial acreage fronting the highway sells for 200,000 and exceeds 500,000. St. Joe’s entitled lands in Walton, Bay, andGulf Counties may be worth exponentially more than implied by the company’s market value.Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac insure the availability of 30-year fixed-rate mortgages. Home ownership has never been more affordable orsustainable during crises with Fannie and Freddie guarantees. The enterprises have been under federal control since 2008. The U.S. Treasuryonly recently agreed to their retaining the earnings necessary for capital safety and soundness. Treasury still has not agreed that 191 billion of“loans and fees” have been repaid – even after receiving over 300 billion of reimbursements and controlling 80% stakes. I expect The SupremeCourt will recognize the rights of private enterprise and remedy this gating issue to Fannie’s and Freddie’s exit from conservatorship.Copper prices increase with global growth and innovation. Gold rises with monetary expansion that cheapens paper money. Imperial Metals’investment in Red Chris has world-class potential. Huckleberry and Mt. Polley may restart production with higher prices. King Copper drilled 20grams of gold per ton over 3 meters. There are 20 other investments buried across British Columbia. Imperial has great expectations.U.S. Treasury Bills and Treasury money market funds composed 21% of the Fund. I and affiliated entities own 27% of the Fund.Respectfully submitted,Bruce R.
