Corporate Treasury Activities (Including Deposit Operations) and ALM Activities

Current report

We closed the sale of Ally Credit Card on April 1, 2025. Refer to Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

Current report

Macroeconomic risks remain elevated due to impacts from tariffs, inflation, and geopolitical uncertainty. Uncertainty around the scope and timing of changes to fiscal, regulatory, and trade policies, as well as impacts from recent legislative action (such as “H.R. 1”, commonly referred to as the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act”) could act as a source of volatility in our baseline forecasts, particularly with respect to real GDP growth, inflation, unemployment, vehicle sales, and other consumer measures, which could materially impact our risk profile. Announcements regarding changes in U.S. trade policies and practices, as well as counter tariffs and other reciprocal actions by other jurisdictions, have continued to contribute to increased volatility in financial markets and could adversely affect economic conditions. Risks related to the continuation or escalation of tariffs and other trading restrictions, particularly to the extent impacting the automobile industry and related sectors, and the potential impact on inflation, global trade, new and used automobile prices and sales, consumer purchasing power, customer creditworthiness and general economic conditions, could cause our financial results to differ from the anticipated results expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements.

Current report

Net financing revenue and other interest income increased $162 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase was primarily driven by lower total interest expense in response to lower benchmark interest rates, which decreased our cost of funds associated with our deposit liabilities. The increase was partially offset by the sale of Ally Credit Card, which closed on April 1, 2025, lower commercial automotive wholesale loan financing revenue and other interest income, and unfavorable remarketing performance on our off-lease vehicles resulting from lower auction prices on the sale of specific vehicle models and lower termination volume.

Current report

Insurance premiums and service revenue earned was $1.5 billion for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $1.4 billion for the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase for the year ended December 31, 2025, was primarily due to growth in our P&C business driven by growth in our vehicle inventory insurance business, and higher volume of GAP and other ancillary F&I products. The increase was partially offset by lower VSC volume.

Current report

Other (loss) gain on investments, net, was a loss of $361 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to a gain of $72 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease in gains for the year ended December 31, 2025, was primarily attributable to our balance sheet repositioning of a portion of our available-for-sales securities during the year ended December 31, 2025. Refer to Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Current report

The provision for credit losses decreased $689 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily driven by a provision benefit associated with the sale of Ally Credit Card, lower net charge-offs within our consumer other portfolio as a result of the sale of Ally Credit Card, and lower net charge-offs within our consumer automotive portfolio. Refer to the Risk Management section of this MD&A for further discussion on our provision for credit losses.

Current report

Noninterest expense increased $207 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase included impairments of goodwill associated with the sale of Ally Credit Card of $305 million and $118 million during the years ended December 31, 2025, and 2024, respectively. Additionally, the increase included higher insurance losses and loss adjustment expenses from our vehicle inventory insurance business. The increase was partially offset by lower operating expenses.

Current report

Our Automotive Finance operations earned income from continuing operations before income tax expense of $1.6 billion for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $1.8 billion for the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease for the year ended December 31, 2025, was primarily due to higher net depreciation expense on operating lease assets and higher total noninterest expense. The decrease was partially offset by lower provision for credit losses.

Current report

Consumer automotive loan financing revenue and other interest income increased $296 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase was primarily driven by higher average consumer assets resulting from origination growth and higher portfolio yields as higher yielding originations replace maturity of lower yielding assets resulting from pricing actions due to our deliberate focus on maximizing risk adjusted returns across our credit tiers.

Current report

Commercial loan financing revenue and other interest income decreased $325 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily due to lower yield driven by lower benchmark interest rates, as our commercial automotive loans are generally variable-rate, and lower average outstanding wholesale floorplan balances within the Stellantis dealer channel.

Current report

Interest expense increased $165 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase was primarily driven by higher asset balances and higher funding costs as a result of a gradual shift in the composition of our consumer portfolios to loans and leases originated during a higher interest rate environment.

Current report

The provision for credit losses decreased $196 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease in provision for credit losses for the year ended December 31, 2025, was primarily driven by lower net charge-offs within our consumer automotive portfolio. Refer to the Risk Management section of this MD&A for further discussion on our provision for credit losses.

Current report

Our portfolio yield for commercial wholesale floorplan loans excluding the impact of hedging activities decreased 106 basis points for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily due to lower benchmark interest rates, as our commercial automotive loans are generally variable-rate.

Current report

Total consumer automotive loan and operating lease originations increased $4.5 billion for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase was primarily driven by increased demand for electric-vehicle leasing prior to the expiration of the federal electric-vehicle tax credit, strong dealer engagement, and higher industry new and used vehicle sales.

Current report

Average commercial wholesale financing receivables outstanding decreased $2.2 billion during the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease within the Stellantis dealer channel.

Current report

Our Insurance operations earned income from continuing operations before income tax expense of $200 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $168 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase for the year ended December 31, 2025, was primarily driven by higher other gain on investments, net, and higher insurance premiums and service revenue earned. The increase was partially offset by higher insurance losses and loss adjustment expenses.

Current report

Insurance premiums and service revenue earned was $1.5 billion for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $1.4 billion for the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase for the year ended December 31, 2025, was primarily due to growth in our P&C business driven by growth in our vehicle inventory insurance business, and higher volume of GAP and other ancillary F&I products. The increase was partially offset by lower VSC volume.

Current report

Our combined ratio was 104.2% for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to 101.9% for the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase for the year ended December 31, 2025, was primarily driven by growth in our P&C business, which had higher earned premiums that were more than offset by higher losses.

Current report

Net financing revenue and other interest income was $434 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $456 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease for the year ended December 31, 2025, was primarily driven by lower accelerated deferred fees from early loan payoffs, which were elevated during the year ended December 31, 2024.

Current report

Other revenue decreased $19 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily driven by lower fee income, including lower fees on revolving credit lines due to higher utilization as compared to the year ended December 31, 2024.

Current report

The provision for credit losses increased $23 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase was primarily driven by portfolio growth.

Current report

Total other revenue decreased $525 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease was driven by a balance sheet repositioning of a portion of our available-for-sale securities during the first quarter of 2025. Additionally, the decrease was driven by lower late charges and other administrative fees as a result of the sale of Ally Credit Card. Refer to Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on the balance sheet repositioning.

Current report

The provision for credit losses decreased $516 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to the year ended December 31, 2024.

The increase in noninterest expense included impairments of goodwill associated with Ally Credit Card of $305 million and $118 million during the years ended December 31, 2025, and 2024, respectively. The increase was partially offset by lower operating expenses as a result of the sales of Ally Credit Card and Ally Lending, combined with the continued run-off of our consumer mortgage portfolio. Refer to Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on the impairment of goodwill.

Previous report

During the fourth quarter of 2024, we elected to change our method of accounting for ITCs from the flow-through method to the deferral method. The deferral method is the preferred method of accounting for ITCs as it promotes matching of the benefits of the recognition of the ITC with the expected use of the asset. Our prior election to use the flow-through method of accounting was driven by the historical insignificance of qualifying credits. As a result of the increase in electric vehicle lease originations in the first half of 2024, which resulted in an increase in qualifying credits, we began to explore a change to the preferred method under U.S. GAAP. The effects of this change in accounting method have been retrospectively applied to all periods presented. Refer to Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

Previous report

During the fourth quarter of 2024, we changed our COH methodology to eliminate the allocation of funding costs associated with our deposits business, which will now reside within Corporate and Other. This change reflects our reportable operating segments under a market-funding approach and aligns the costs of deposit funding with the related benefits received from deposit funding, which also resides with Corporate and Other. Additionally, our COH methodology was changed to allocate additional overhead expenses related to centralized support functions and marketing sponsorships to our reportable operating segments as a result of a change in how our CODM assesses our performance. These expenses were previously included within Corporate and Other. The manner in which our CODM views our COH methodologies changed after our current CEO joined Ally during 2024 and completed a review of the strategy of the business. Also, during the fourth quarter of 2024, we changed our FTP methodology by aligning the capital credit and charge calculations with the FTP rate charged to each business line. Capital credits reduce the business lines’ overall FTP charge, recognizing that a portion of a business line’s assets is funded with allocated regulatory capital. Capital charges impact business lines not subject to FTP funding allocations and are applied to the amount of excess equity that the business line holds, relative to its regulatory capital. Amounts for 2023 and 2022 have been recast to conform to the current COH and FTP methodologies.

Previous report

As a result of a change in how our CODM views and operates our business, during the fourth quarter of 2024, we made changes in the composition of our operating segments. The manner in which our CODM views and assesses performance changed after our current CEO joined Ally during 2024 and completed a review of the strategy of the business. Furthermore, consumer mortgage originations will cease during the second quarter of 2025, which will result in a gradual run-off of our remaining consumer mortgage loan portfolio. Financial information related to our Mortgage Finance business is now included in Corporate and Other. Previously, all such activity was presented as a separate reportable segment. Our other operating segments, Automotive Finance operations, Insurance operations, and Corporate Finance operations remained reportable operating segments. We allocate costs to our reportable segments in a manner consistent with the methodology updated during the fourth quarter of 2024. Amounts for 2023 and 2022 have been recast to conform to the current CODM view.

Previous report

Financial information related to our credit card business, Ally Credit Card, is included within Corporate and Other. Ally Credit Card is our digital-first credit card platform that features leading-edge technology, and a proprietary, analytics-based underwriting model. As of December 31, 2024, our credit card business had $2.3 billion of finance receivables and loans and approximately 1.3 million customers. On January 20, 2025, we entered into a definitive agreement to divest our credit card business. The transaction is expected to close during the second quarter of 2025, subject to the completion of customary closing conditions.

Previous report

The majority of our credit card portfolio strategy is targeted towards nonprime borrowers while also being inclusive of the broader credit spectrum. As of December 31, 2024, the amortized cost of our finance receivables related to Ally Credit Card was $2.3 billion, as compared to $2.0 billion at December 31, 2023. On January 20, 2025, we entered into a definitive agreement to divest our credit card business. The transaction is expected to close during the second quarter of 2025, subject to the completion of customary closing conditions.

Previous report

Net financing revenue and other interest income decreased $207 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. Consumer automotive revenue increased due to higher portfolio yields resulting from pricing actions taken in response to rising benchmark interest rates. The increase was partially offset by lower average consumer assets resulting from the transfers of financial assets to nonconsolidated SPEs. Commercial automotive revenue increased due to higher average assets resulting from improvements in new vehicle supply. Additionally, revenue increased due to the impacts of a higher interest rate environment on the investment securities portfolio and higher interest associated with cash and cash equivalents. These increases were more than offset by higher interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2024, as compared to 2023, in response to higher benchmark interest rates, which increased our cost of funds associated with our deposit liabilities. Additionally, the decrease in net financing revenue and other interest income was driven by the sale of Ally Lending, which closed on March 1, 2024.

Previous report

Insurance premiums and service revenue earned was $1.4 billion for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to $1.3 billion for the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase for the year ended December 31, 2024, was primarily driven by growth of our vehicle inventory insurance program due to higher dealer inventory levels and the addition of new relationships, including Nissan and Toyota. The increase was also driven by higher other premium and service revenue written from non-automotive assumed reinsurance business.

Previous report

Other gain on investments, net was $72 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to $144 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The decrease for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to 2023, was primarily attributable to the performance of the equity securities included in the portfolio in line with broader market performance.

Previous report

Other income, net of losses increased $76 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase for the year ended December 31, 2024, was primarily driven by increased servicing fees resulting from the growth in financial assets transferred to a nonconsolidated SPE for which we retain the ongoing right to service the assets, higher syndication income, and favorable performance from equity-method investments.

Previous report

The provision for credit losses increased $198 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase in provision for credit losses for the year ended December 31, 2024, was primarily driven by higher net charge-offs in our consumer automotive portfolio, partially offset by the sale of Ally Lending and lower specific reserve activity within our Corporate Finance operations. Refer to the Risk Management section of this MD&A for further discussion on our provision for credit losses.

Previous report

Noninterest expense increased $16 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase for the year ended December 31, 2024, was primarily driven by higher insurance losses and loss adjustment expenses from our vehicle inventory insurance program and restructuring charges associated with a workforce reduction. The increase was partially offset by lower operating expenses as a result of the sale of Ally Lending and lower compensation and benefits. Additionally, during the year ended December 31, 2024, we recognized a $118 million impairment of goodwill at Ally Credit Card, as compared to a $149 million impairment of goodwill at Ally Lending during the year ended December 31, 2023.

Previous report

We earned net income from continuing operations of $959 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to $1.7 billion for the year ended December 31, 2022. During the year ended December 31, 2023, results were favorably impacted by higher total financing revenue and other interest income, a decrease in income tax expense from continuing operations, and an increase in other gain on investments, net. These items were more than offset by higher interest expense, provision for credit losses, and noninterest expense for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Previous report

Net financing revenue and other interest income decreased $629 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to the year ended December 31, 2022. Consumer automotive revenue increased as higher portfolio yields resulting from pricing actions taken in response to rising benchmark interest rates contributed to the increase in revenue. The increase was also impacted by higher average consumer assets resulting from growth in the used-vehicle portfolio, primarily through franchised dealers and national retailers. Commercial automotive revenue increased due to higher yields from higher benchmark interest rates, as our commercial automotive loans are generally variable-rate. The increase was also impacted by higher asset balances resulting from improvements in new vehicle supply. Additionally, revenue increased due to the impacts of a higher interest rate environment on the investment securities portfolio and hedging activities, and higher interest associated with cash and cash equivalents and growth within unsecured lending. The increase was more than offset by higher interest expense. We experienced higher interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2023, as compared to 2022, in response to higher benchmark interest rates, which increased our cost of funds associated with our deposit liabilities.

Previous report

Insurance premiums and service revenue earned was $1.3 billion for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to $1.2 billion for the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase for the year ended December 31, 2023, was primarily driven by higher P&C earned premium from higher dealer inventory levels, growth in other dealer-related protection products, and higher other premium and service revenue written from non-automotive assumed reinsurance business.

Previous report

Other gain on investments, net was $144 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to other loss on investments, net of $120 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to 2022, was primarily attributable to the performance of equity securities, consistent with broader stock market performance. The increase was partially offset by realized gains from the sale of available-for-sale securities and equity securities during the year ended December 31, 2022, that did not reoccur.

Previous report

December 31, 2023, we observed a slowing rate of increase in delinquency trends within our consumer automotive loan portfolio, as compared to 2022, as we made adjustments to our underwriting strategies. The increase was partially offset by a decrease in income from equity-method investments.

Previous report

The provision for credit losses increased $569 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase in provision for credit losses for the year ended December 31, 2023, was primarily driven by higher net charge-offs across our consumer portfolios.

Previous report

Noninterest expense increased $476 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase for the year ended December 31, 2023, was driven by increased expenses to support the growth of our consumer product suite and expand our digital capabilities and portfolio of products, and we incurred higher collection and repossession costs. Additionally, insurance losses and loss adjustment expenses increased for the year ended December 31, 2023, as compared to 2022, primarily due to increased losses from our vehicle inventory insurance program attributable to higher weather frequency and severity, growing dealer inventory levels, and higher insured values for non-weather losses. The increase was also driven by a goodwill impairment charge during the year ended December 31, 2023. Refer to Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.

Previous report

We recognized total income tax expense from continuing operations of $144 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to income tax expense of $627 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The decrease in income tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to 2022, was primarily due to the tax effects of a decrease in pretax earnings and adjustments to the valuation allowance on foreign tax credit carryforwards. Refer to Note 22 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.

Previous report

Our Automotive Finance operations earned income from continuing operations before income tax expense of $1.8 billion for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to $2.2 billion for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Total net operating lease revenue increased $28 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to 2022. The increase in net operating lease revenue was driven by higher remarketing gains on off-lease vehicles, primarily due to normalizing volume trends in the contractually priced buyout channels.

Previous report

Total other revenue increased $15 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to 2022. The increase was primarily due to an increase in servicing fees, late charges, and remarketing fee income. The increase in servicing fees was due to the growth in financial assets transferred to a nonconsolidated SPE for which we retain the ongoing right to service the assets. The increase in late charges was due to higher delinquencies amid deterioration in macroeconomic conditions, driven by persistent inflation. During the year ended December 31, 2023, we observed a slowing rate of increase in delinquency trends within our consumer automotive loan portfolio, as compared to 2022, as we continued to make adjustments to our underwriting strategies. The increase in remarketing fee income was primarily due to an increase in remarketing transaction volume through our SmartAuction platform.

Previous report

The provision for credit losses increased $582 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase in provision for credit losses was primarily driven by higher net charge-offs during the year ended December 31, 2023.

Previous report

During the year ended December 31, 2024, our portfolio yield for commercial wholesale floorplan loans, excluding the impact of hedging activities, decreased 2 basis points, as compared to 2023. The decrease was primarily driven by a higher mix of new floorplan loans which typically carry a lower yield compared to used floorplan loans. Additionally, our portfolio yield for other commercial automotive loans increased 43 basis points during the year ended December 31, 2024, as compared to 2023. The increase was primarily driven by the portfolio turning over and benefiting from higher yielding dealer loan originations.

Previous report

During the year ended December 31, 2023, our portfolio yields for commercial wholesale floorplan loans and other commercial automotive loans increased 330 basis points and 82 basis points, respectively, as compared to 2022. The increases were primarily due to higher yields from higher benchmark interest rates, as our commercial automotive loans are generally variable-rate.

Previous report

Our portfolio yield for investment in operating leases, net, including net gains on the sale of off-lease vehicles, was 7.16% for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to 6.41% for the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase was due to higher remarketing gains on off-lease vehicles.

Previous report

Total consumer automotive loan and operating lease originations decreased $791 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to 2023.

The increase for the year ended December 31, 2024, as compared to 2023, was primarily due to an increase in dealer new vehicle inventory levels, which is consistent with broader industry trends.

Our success as an automotive finance provider is driven by the consistent and broad range of products and services we offer to dealers and automotive retailers. The automotive marketplace is dynamic and evolving, including substantial investments in electrification by automotive manufacturers and suppliers. We continue to identify and cultivate relationships with automotive retailers, including those with leading e-commerce platforms. We also operate an online direct-lending platform for consumers seeking direct financing. We believe these products will enable us to respond to the growing trends for a more streamlined and digital automotive financing process to serve both dealers and consumers. Furthermore, our strong and expansive dealer relationships, comprehensive suite of products and services, full-spectrum financing, and depth of experience position us to evolve with future shifts in automobile technologies, including electrification. We have provided and continue to provide automobile financing for battery-electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles, including brands such as Tesla, Jeep, Alfa Romeo, and Chevrolet. This positions us to remain a leader in automotive financing as we believe the majority of these vehicles will be sold through dealerships and automotive retailers with whom we have an established relationship. Additionally, we continue to partner and build relationships with automotive manufacturers who use a direct-to-consumer model. During the year ended December 31, 2024, $1.8 billion of our consumer automotive retail loan originations and purchases, and $2.5 billion of our operating lease originations and purchases, were for battery-electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles.

Our consumer automotive financing operations generate revenue primarily through finance charges on retail installment sales contracts and rental payments on operating lease contracts. For operating leases, when the contract is originated, we estimate the residual value of the leased vehicle at lease termination. Periodically thereafter we revise the projected residual value of the leased vehicle at lease termination and may adjust depreciation expense over the remaining life of the lease, if appropriate. Given the fluctuations in used vehicle values, our actual sales proceeds from remarketing the vehicle may be higher or lower than the projected residual value after adjusting for any residual value guarantees, which results in gains or losses on lease termination. While all operating leases are exposed to potential reductions in used vehicle values, it is only where we take possession of the vehicle that we could be affected by potential reductions in used vehicle values. Refer to the Operating Lease Residual Risk Management and Critical Accounting Estimates sections of this MD&A for further discussion of credit risk and lease residual risk.

Our commercial automotive financing operations primarily fund inventory purchases of new and used vehicles by dealers, commonly referred to as wholesale floorplan financing. This represents the largest portion of our commercial automotive financing business. Wholesale floorplan loans are secured by vehicles financed (and all other vehicle inventory), which provide strong collateral protection in the event of dealership default. Additional collateral or other credit enhancements (for example, personal guarantees from dealership owners) are typically obtained to further mitigate credit risk. The amount we advance to dealers is equal to 100% of the wholesale invoice price of new vehicles, subject to payment curtailment schedules. Interest on wholesale automotive financing is generally payable monthly and is indexed to a floating-rate benchmark. The rate for a particular dealer is based on, among other considerations, competitive factors and the dealer’s creditworthiness. During 2024, we financed an average of $17.4 billion of dealer vehicle inventory through wholesale floorplan financings. Other commercial automotive lending products, which averaged $6.4 billion during 2024, consist of automotive dealer revolving lines of credit, term loans, including those to finance dealership land and buildings, and dealer fleet financing. We also provide comprehensive automotive remarketing services, including the use of SmartAuction, our online auction platform, which efficiently supports dealer-to-dealer and other commercial wholesale vehicle transactions. SmartAuction provides diversified fee-based revenue and serves as a means of deepening relationships with our dealership customers. In 2024, Ally and other parties, including dealers, fleet rental companies, and financial institutions, utilized SmartAuction to sell approximately 556,000 vehicles to dealers and other commercial customers. SmartAuction served as the remarketing channel for 35% of our off-lease vehicles.

The net financing revenue and other interest income of our Automotive Finance and Corporate Finance operations include the results of an FTP process that insulates these operations from interest rate volatility by matching assets and liabilities with similar interest rate sensitivity. We utilize an FTP methodology for the majority of our business operations. The FTP methodology assigns charge rates and credit rates to classes of assets and liabilities on a match funded basis, utilizing a benchmark rate curve plus an assumed credit spread. The assumed credit spread is calculated based on a composite investment grade unsecured yield curve, or based on advance rates published by the FHLB for any asset that is eligible to be pledged as collateral to the FHLB. While the baseline FTP components at Ally assume 100% debt funding, the methodology also incorporates a credit on the allocated capital for each business line based on the business line’s FTP rate charged to its assets. For business lines not subject to an FTP funding allocation, the FTP methodology applies a capital charge to the amount of excess equity that the business line holds, relative to its regulatory capital and other adjustments. The net residual impact of the FTP methodology is included within the results of Corporate and Other. In addition, capital is managed with the goal of enhancing risk-adjusted returns on shareholders’ equity, while maintaining a strong capital position that is consistent with our risk profile. We allocate capital to business growth opportunities, within an established risk appetite, to support our customers and communities. We seek to pay a competitive dividend and may also distribute excess capital to shareholders through common share repurchases.

We employ an internal team of economists to enhance our planning and forecasting capabilities. This team conducts industry and market research, monitors economic risks, and helps support various forms of scenario planning and stress testing. This group closely monitors macroeconomic trends, such as unemployment rate and sales of new light motor vehicles, given the nature of our business and the potential impacts on our exposure to risks. As of December 31, 2025, the unemployment rate increased to 4.4%. Sales of new light motor vehicles fell to an average annual rate of 15.7 million during the fourth quarter of 2025. Sales of new light motor vehicles remain below the pre-pandemic annual pace of 17.0 million in 2019, which has limited incoming used vehicle supply and supported used vehicle values.

Our baseline forecast utilized in calculating the quantitative allowance for loan losses as of December 31, 2025, anticipated the unemployment rate reaching approximately 4.5% in the first quarter of 2026, before reverting to the historical mean of approximately 5.8% by the fourth quarter of 2028. Additionally, our baseline forecast anticipated GDP growth slowing to 2.0% as measured on a quarter-over-quarter seasonally adjusted annualized rate basis in 2026 and 2027, before reverting to the historical mean of approximately 2.1% by the fourth quarter of 2028, and increases in new light vehicle sales on a seasonally adjusted annualized rate basis from more than 15 million units in the fourth quarter of 2025, to approximately 16 million units by the fourth quarter of 2027, before reverting to the historical mean of 15 million units by the fourth quarter of 2028. We also maintain a qualitative allowance framework to account for ongoing risks and volatility in the macroeconomic environment, including the impacts from tariffs, inflation, consumer financial health, and geopolitical uncertainty, that could adversely impact frequency of loss and LGD. Additionally, we perform a sensitivity analysis using scenarios derived from widely published macroeconomic forecasts to quantify the sensitivity of our baseline forecast to alternative changes in macroeconomic conditions. Refer to the Risk Managementand Critical Accounting Estimates sections of this MD&A for further discussion on our allowance for loan losses.

During the year ended December 31, 2023, our portfolio yield for consumer automotive loans, excluding the impact of hedging activities, increased 102 basis points, as compared to 2022. The increase for the year ended December 31, 2023, was primarily driven by higher portfolio yields resulting from pricing actions. We continued to opportunistically adjust pricing in response to rising benchmark interest rates during 2023. Our portfolio yield for consumer automotive loans, including the effects of derivative financial instruments designated as hedges, was 80 basis points higher than our portfolio yield for consumer automotive loans excluding the effects of derivative financial instruments designated as hedges for the year ended December 31, 2023. This is attributable to the execution of hedging strategies that are used to mitigate interest rate risks. The effects of derivative financial instruments designated as hedges are included within Corporate and Other.

Total interest expense increased $2.2 billion for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to the year ended December 31, 2022. Interest expense in our Corporate and Other segment includes our external borrowing costs less the amount charged to our operating segments, which is based on our FTP methodology. The increase in interest expense was primarily driven by higher deposit costs during the year reflecting a higher overall interest rate environment.
