Financial Measures That Supplement Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
 
We sometimes use information derived from consolidated financial information but not presented in our financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Certain of these data are considered “non-GAAP financial measures” under the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission rules. Specifically, we have referred to delinquency rates on managed equipment financing loans and leases and managed consumer financing receivables. The reasons we use these non-GAAP financial measures and their reconciliation to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures follow.

Delinquency rates on on-book and off-book equipment financing loans and leases increased from December 31, 2008 and September 30, 2008, to September 30, 2009, as a result of continuing weakness in the global economic and credit environment. In addition, delinquency rates on on-book equipment financing loans and leases increased six basis points from September 30, 2008 to September 30, 2009, as a result of the inclusion of the CitiCapital acquisition.

The increase in on-book delinquencies for consumer financing receivables in the U.S. from September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2008, to September 30, 2009, primarily reflects the continued rise in delinquencies across the U.S. credit card receivables platforms. The increase in on-book delinquencies for consumer financing receivables outside of the U.S. from September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2008, to September 30, 2009, reflects the effects of the declining U.K. housing market. The decrease in off-book delinquencies for consumer financing receivables in the U.S. from September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2008, to September 30, 2009, reflected the replacement of delinquent accounts in a securitization trust.
 
We believe that delinquency rates on managed financing receivables provide a useful perspective of our portfolio quality and are key indicators of financial performance. We use this non-GAAP financial measure because it provides information that enables management and investors to understand the underlying operational performance and trends of certain financing receivables and facilitates a comparison with the performance of our competitors. The same underwriting standards and ongoing risk monitoring are used for both on-book and off-book portfolios as the customer’s credit performance will affect both loans retained on the Condensed Statement of Financial Position and securitized loans. We believe that managed basis information is useful to management and investors, enabling them to understand both the credit risks associated with the loans reported on the Condensed Statement of Financial Position and our retained interests in securitized loans.
