Ally Chief Executive Officer Jeffrey Brown commented on the financial results:

 

“In the third quarter, Ally’s results demonstrated three key themes – continued strong operating performance across all segments, prudent use of capital to optimize shareholder value and notable progress in our evolution as a leading digital financial services company.”

 

“Deposit growth continued to exceed expectations and helped drive higher net interest income while further reducing reliance on the capital markets. In auto finance, yields on the retail portfolio continued to improve, as the deliberate shift to a more profitable mix continued. As a result, earnings per share performance was strong, and shareholder value continued to increase significantly.”

 

“Moreover, Ally returned nearly $200 million in capital to shareholders in the quarter. As a result of share repurchases in the quarter, total shares outstanding were reduced by about 1.7% – and we will continue to execute our capital plan to drive further value.”

 

“Meanwhile, we’re applying purposeful focus on evolving the business to meet customer needs. Ally’s CashBack credit card has been well-received, and investing and mortgage offerings – both highly requested by our digitally-savvy customers – remain on-track. In auto finance, strides were made to enhance and invest in digital F&I capabilities key to adapting with the changing industry. Expanded offerings, new technological capabilities and a commitment to doing what’s right for our customers are foundational to our long-term success.”

 

Notable Items

 

·Estimated risk-adjusted retail auto yield1 on Q3 originations improved 53 bps YoY as a result of increased pricing and focus on risk-adjusted returns

 

·Increased provision expense to $258 million in the third quarter driven by a full spectrum auto loan portfolio mix, as well as growth

 

·Recorded a charge of $52 million in Disc Ops in connection with potential claims relating to the discontinued mortgage business

 

·Returned nearly $200 million in capital to shareholders in Q3

 

oRepurchased $159 million in common stock or 1.7% of total shares outstanding

Discussion of Third Quarter Results

 

Net income of $209 million, compared to net income of $268 million for the third quarter of 2015, as increased net financing revenue and other revenue was more than offset by provision expense for loan loss, a one-time charge to discontinued operations, and expenses primarily driven by the integration of the online brokerage and digital wealth management platform and offerings.

 

Net financing revenue, including $15 million of OID, improved to $996 million, up $26 million from a year ago, due to higher retail loan margins.

 

Other revenue increased $56 million year-over-year from favorable investment gains and contributions from the online brokerage and digital wealth management business.

 

Provision expense increased $47 million year-over-year, driven by a full credit spectrum auto finance portfolio mix, as well as a higher retail portfolio balance.

 

A charge of $52 million in discontinued operations was recorded in connection with potential claims relating to the discontinued mortgage business.

 

Core pre-tax incomeA of $406 million, was down from $431 million in the prior-year period.

 

NIM of 2.69%, including OID of 4 basis points, up 5 basis points year-over-year. Excluding OID, NIM was 2.73%, improving 6 basis points year-over-year, as a result of higher asset yields.

 

Auto originations for the quarter totaled $9.3 billion, down from $11.1 billion a year ago, as the company continued to execute its strategic focus on improved risk-adjusted returns.

 

Annualized net charge-offs increased year-over-year to 75 basis points, driven by performance in the auto finance portfolio.

Product Expansion

 

Auto Finance Offerings & Digital Capabilities

In the third quarter, Ally added to its vehicle financing capability with the formation of an experienced transportation and equipment finance team, which will provide commercial financing to companies and municipalities for the purchase or lease of vehicles and equipment such as heavy duty trucks, trailers, buses and cargo vans. This is designed to provide incremental volume and diversification, while aligning to Ally’s core strengths in vehicle financing and secured lending.

 

Additionally, Ally strengthened its digital capabilities in auto financing through the acquisition of technology assets and expertise from Blue Yield, an online auto lender exchange. This will advance Ally’s progress in building a direct-to-consumer option, as well as ultimately driving an end-to-end digital platform. These actions will enable the company to respond to the growing trends for a more streamlined and digital auto financing process to serve both dealers and consumers.

 

Online Brokerage and Digital Wealth Management

Integration of Ally’s online brokerage and digital wealth management platform and offerings was advanced in the third quarter, and remains on track to launch in the first quarter of 2017.

 

Ally CashBack Credit Card

In June 2016, Ally Bank launched the Ally CashBack Credit Card program. Initial reaction to the offering has been in line with expectations, with more than 85% of accounts being opened by existing Ally customers.

 

Mortgage Product

Ally remains on target to introduce a direct-to-consumer mortgage product in the fourth quarter of 2016 to fulfill customer requests and further diversify Ally’s portfolio of products and services.

Discussion of Segment Results

 

Auto Finance
Pre-tax income was essentially flat year-over-year at $319 million from $323 million. Results were driven by increased net financing revenue, despite strategically lower volume, due to the successful execution of the company’s continued focus on risk-adjusted returns.

 

Increases in net financing revenue were offset by an increase in provision expense with the year-over-year change driven by the company’s continued shift to a full credit spectrum portfolio mix. Also affecting provision expense was the continued growth of retail loans in the portfolio and higher associated allowance, relative to declining leases which do not generate provision expense.

 

The estimated risk-adjusted retail auto yieldB on retail originations improved 53 basis points year-over-year, as the company continued to deploy a disciplined originations strategy with a focus on increased product returns.

 

Consumer originations of $9.3 billion with 84% funded through Ally Bank, up from 76% in the third quarter of 2015. Used volume at $3.8 billion or 40% of total originations. Originations also included $4.6 billion of new retail and $1.0 billion of leases.

 

Automotive earning assets up $0.4 billion year-over-year to $113.5 billion. Consumer earning assets were down $3.4 billion year-over-year to $77.4 billion. Commercial earning assets up $3.7 billion year-over-year to $36.0 billion

  

 

B Estimated risk-adjusted retail auto yield is a forward-looking non-GAAP financial measure that management believes is helpful to readers in evaluating the estimated profitability of loan originations during the period. Refer to the Definitions of Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Key Terms, and Reconciliation to GAAP later in this press release for details and calculation methodology.

Insurance
Pre-tax income of $56 million in the quarter, up $16 million from a year ago, with higher investment gains and lower VSC losses. Weather losses were up $13 million year-over-year, but in line with seasonal averages.

 

Total investment income was $36 million, up $27 million from the prior year period, resulting from strong investment gains in the equity portfolio.

 

Written premiums were essentially flat year-over-year at $252 million, with rate increases offsetting the continued shift toward dealer reinsurance.

 

Mortgage Finance

Pre-tax income of $8 million in the quarter, compared to $4 million in the prior year period. Improved net financing revenue to $25 million, up $8 million year-over-year with total assets up $1.6 billion in the past year.

 

Non-interest expense increased year-over-year as the result of asset growth.

 

A direct-to-consumer mortgage product launch is on target to occur later this year to fulfill customer requests for an offering. Combined with bulk purchases, Ally aims to drive additional operating leverage and to provide meaningful future income in the segment.

 

Corporate Finance

Pre-tax income of $15 million in the quarter, compared to $14 million in the prior year period.

 

Net financing revenue of $30 million, up 36% year-over-year driven by continued asset growth, with total assets of $3.2 billion, up from $2.3 billion in the prior year.

 

Liquidity, Capital & Deposits

 

Capital

Returned nearly $200 million in capital to shareholders through the first $0.08 per share quarterly common dividend and $159 million of share repurchases, approximately 1.7% of shares outstanding, both in the third quarter. Ally’s board of directors approved a $0.08 per share dividend for the fourth quarter.

 

Total equity of $13.6 billion at quarter-end, flat compared to the end of the prior quarter.

 

Preliminary fully phased-in Basel III Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) capital ratioC of 9.3%, remained strong as a result of continued profitability and deferred tax asset utilization.

 

Liquidity & Funding

Consolidated cash and cash equivalents of $4.3 billion at quarter-end, down from $5.7 billion at the end of the second quarter, as approximately $1.4 billion in legacy debt matured in the quarter. Included in this quarter's cash balance are $1.9 billion at Ally Bank and $1.3 billion at the insurance subsidiary.

 

New term U.S. auto securitizations totaled approximately $1.5 billion for the quarter and $4.9 billion year-to-date. Additionally, during the quarter, Ally renewed approximately $2.6 billion in credit facilities.

 

Approximately 73% of Ally's total assets and 84% of total consumer auto originations were funded at Ally Bank in the third quarter.

 

Deposits now represent approximately 54% of Ally's funding portfolio, improving from 47% a year ago.

 

Deposits

Retail deposits at Ally Bank increased to $63.9 billion at quarter-end, up $2.6 billion for the quarter and up $10.4 billion year-over-year, with growth predominately being driven by savings products.

 

Deposit customer base grew 16% year-over-year, totaling nearly 1.2 million customers at quarter-end, adding more than 160,000 customers year-over-year. Millennials continue to comprise the largest generation segment of new customers at more than 50%.

  

 

c Fully phased-in Basel III CET1 is a non-GAAP financial measure which Ally believes is important to the reader of the Consolidated Financial Statements, but which is supplemental to and not a substitute for U.S. GAAP measures. Ally's preliminary Basel III Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio, reflective of transition provisions, is 9.5%.

Definitions of Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Key Terms

 

Ally believes the non-GAAP financial measures defined here are important to the reader of the Consolidated Financial Statements, but these are supplemental to and not a substitute for U.S. GAAP measures.

 

Adjusted Earnings per Share (Adjusted EPS) is a non-GAAP financial measure that adjusts GAAP EPS for revenue and expense items that are typically strategic in nature or that management otherwise does not view as reflecting the operating performance of the company. Management believes Adjusted EPS can help the reader better understand the operating performance of the core businesses and their ability to generate earnings. In the numerator of Adjusted EPS, GAAP net income available to common is adjusted for the following items: (1) excludes discontinued operations, net of tax, as Ally is primarily a domestic company and sales of international businesses and previously discontinued mortgage operations in the past have significantly impacted GAAP EPS, (2) adds back the tax-effected non-cash expense bond exchange original issue discount (OID), (3) adds back tax-effected repositioning items primarily related to the extinguishment of high-cost legacy debt and strategic activities, (4) excludes certain discrete tax items that do not relate to the operating performance of the core businesses, and (5) adjusts for preferred stock capital actions (e.g., Series A and Series G) that have been taken by the company to normalize its capital structure.

 

Core pre-tax income is a non-GAAP financial measure that adjusts pre-tax income from continuing operations by excluding (1) original issue discount (OID) amortization expense and (2) repositioning items primarily related to the extinguishment of high-cost legacy debt and strategic activities. Management believes core pre-tax income can help the reader better understand the operating performance of the core businesses and their ability to generate earnings. See the Results by Segment Table on page 3 for calculation methodology and details.

 

Core Net Income Available to Common is a non-GAAP financial measure that serves as the numerator in the calculations of Adjusted EPS and Core ROTCE and that, like those measures, is believed by management to help the reader better understand the operating performance of the core businesses and their ability to generate earnings. Core net income available to common adjusts GAAP net income available to common for discontinued operations net of tax, tax-effected OID expense, tax-effected repositioning items primarily related to the extinguishment of high-cost legacy debt and strategic activities, certain discrete tax items and preferred stock capital actions. See Reconciliation to GAAP on page 6 for calculation methodology and details.

 

Core Return on Tangible Common Equity (Core ROTCE) is a non-GAAP financial measure that management believes is helpful for readers to better understand the ongoing ability of the company to generate returns on its equity base that supports core operations. For purposes of this calculation, tangible common equity is adjusted for unamortized OID and net DTA. Ally’s core net income available to common utilized a static 34% tax rate for purposes of calculating Core ROTCE through 4Q 2015. As of 1Q 2016, Ally’s core net income available to common for purposes of calculating Core ROTCE is based on the actual effective tax rate for the period adjusted for any discrete tax items including tax reserve releases, which aligns with the methodology used in calculating adjusted earnings per share.

 

(1)In the numerator of Core ROTCE, GAAP net income available to common is adjusted for discontinued operations net of tax, tax-effected OID expense, tax-effected repositioning items primarily related to the extinguishment of high-cost legacy debt and strategic activities, certain discrete tax items and preferred stock capital actions.
(2)In the denominator, GAAP shareholder’s equity is adjusted for preferred equity and goodwill and identifiable intangibles net of DTL, unamortized OID, and net DTA.

 

Adjusted Tangible Book Value Per Share (Adjusted TBVPS) is a non-GAAP financial measure that reflects the book value of equity available to shareholders even if original issue discount (OID) expense were accelerated immediately through the financial statements. As a result, management believes Adjusted TBVPS provides the reader with an assessment of value that is more conservative than GAAP common shareholder’s equity per share. Adjusted TBVPS generally adjusts common equity for (1) goodwill and identifiable intangibles, net of DTLs, (2) tax-effected bond OID to reduce tangible common equity in the event the corresponding discounted bonds are redeemed/tendered and (3) Series G discount which reduces tangible common equity as the company has normalized its capital structure. See Reconciliation to GAAP on page 7 for calculation methodology and details.

 

Adjusted Efficiency Ratio is a non-GAAP financial measure that management believes is helpful to readers in comparing the efficiency of its core banking and lending businesses with those of its peers. In the numerator of adjusted efficiency ratio, total noninterest expense is adjusted for Insurance segment expense, repositioning items primarily related to strategic activities and rep and warrant expense. In the denominator, total net revenue is adjusted for Insurance segment revenue, repositioning items primarily related to the extinguishment of high-cost legacy debt and original issue discount (OID).

 

Estimated Risk-Adjusted Retail Auto Yield is a forward-looking non-GAAP financial measure that management believes is helpful to readers in evaluating the estimated profitability of loan originations during the period. Risk-adjusted retail auto yield is determined by calculating the estimated average annualized yield less the estimated net average annualized loss rate (NAALR) for loans originated during the period, using estimated yield and loss expectations at origination. We believe this metric, and the changes to this metric, are also useful to investors in assessing the pricing of loans originated during the period and in comparing the profitability of loan originations across periods and against the overall current portfolio of loans. See Reconciliation to on page 7 for calculation methodology and details.

 

Net Financing Revenue (excluding OID) excludes OID.

 

Common Equity Tier 1 Capital (CET1): Under the Basel III regulatory framework as adopted in the United States, banking organizations like the company are required to comply with a minimum ratio of common equity tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets (CET1 Capital Ratio). Common equity tier 1 capital generally consists of common stock (plus any related surplus and net of any treasury stock), retained earnings, accumulated other comprehensive income, and minority interests in the common equity of consolidated subsidiaries, subject to specified conditions and adjustments. The obligation to comply with the minimum CET1 Capital Ratio is subject to ongoing transition periods and other provisions under Basel III. Management believes that both the transitional CET1 Capital Ratio and the fully phased-in CET1 Capital Ratio are helpful to readers in evaluating the company’s capital utilization and adequacy in absolute terms and relative to its peers. The fully phased-in CET1 Capital Ratio is a non-GAAP financial measure that is reconciled to the transitional CET1 Capital Ratio later in this press release.

 

Controllable expenses primarily include employee related costs, consulting and legal fees, marketing, information technology, facility, portfolio servicing and restructuring expenses.

 

 5

 

 

 

Net Charge-Off Ratios are calculated as annualized net charge-offs divided by average outstanding finance receivables and loans excluding loans measured at fair value and loans held-for-sale.

 

Corporate and Other primarily consists of activity related to centralized corporate treasury activities such as management of the cash and corporate investment securities and loan portfolios, short- and long-term debt, retail and brokered deposit liabilities, derivative instruments, the amortization of the discount associated with new debt issuances and bond exchanges, and the residual impacts of our corporate FTP and treasury ALM activities. Corporate and Other also includes certain equity investments, the management of our legacy mortgage portfolio, and reclassifications and eliminations between the reportable operating segments. Subsequent to June 1, 2016, the revenue and expense activity associated with TradeKing was included within the Corporate and Other segment.
