NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation The condensed consolidated financial statements include our accounts and the accounts of our consolidated subsidiaries, including certain special-purpose financing entities utilized in secured financing transactions, which are considered variable interest entities (VIEs). All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
The interim period condensed consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, are condensed and do not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States of America. These interim period condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements that are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on February 7, 2017 (Form 10-K). Except as otherwise specified, dollar amounts presented within tables are stated in millions.
The condensed consolidated financial statements at March 31, 2017, and for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, are unaudited and, in management’s opinion, include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for such interim periods. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.
Segment Information We are the wholly-owned captive finance subsidiary of General Motors Company (GM). We offer substantially similar products and services throughout many different regions, subject to local regulations and market conditions. We evaluate our business in two operating segments. The North America Segment includes our operations in the U.S. and Canada. The International Segment includes our operations in all other countries.
Note 2. Disposition of Business
On March 5, 2017, General Motors Holdings LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of GM and our parent, entered into a Master Agreement (the Agreement) with Peugeot, S.A. (PSA Group) pursuant to which PSA Group will acquire GM's Opel and Vauxhall businesses and certain other assets in Europe (the Opel/Vauxhall Business) and certain of our European subsidiaries and branches (European Operations, together with the Opel/Vauxhall Business, the Transferred Business).
The net consideration to be paid for our European Operations will be 0.8 times their book value at closing, which we estimate will be approximately $1 billion, denominated in Euros. The purchase price is subject to certain adjustments as provided in the Agreement. We expect to recognize a disposal loss of approximately $700 million to $800 million at closing.
The transfer of the Opel/Vauxhall Business is expected to close by the end of 2017 and the transfer of our European Operations is expected to close as soon as practicable after the receipt of the necessary antitrust, financial and other regulatory approvals, which may be after the transfer of the Opel/Vauxhall Business, but not before. The transfer of our European Operations will not occur unless the transfer of the Opel/Vauxhall Business occurs.
Note 3. Related Party Transactions
We offer loan and lease finance products through GM-franchised dealers to customers purchasing new and certain used vehicles manufactured by GM and make commercial loans directly to GM-franchised dealers and their affiliates. We also offer commercial loans to dealers that are consolidated by GM and those balances are included in our finance receivables, net.
Under subvention programs, GM makes cash payments to us for offering incentivized rates and structures on retail loan and lease finance products. In addition, GM makes payments to us to cover certain interest payments on commercial loans. We also provide funding under lines of credit to GM.
In March 2017, we executed an agreement to purchase certain program vehicles from Maven Drive LLC (Maven), a wholly-owned subsidiary of GM. We simultaneously leased these vehicles to Maven for use in their ride-sharing arrangements. We account for these leases as direct-finance leases, which are included in our finance receivables, net.

Under our support agreement with GM (the Support Agreement), if our earning assets leverage ratio at the end of any calendar quarter exceeds the applicable threshold set in the Support Agreement, we may require GM to provide funding sufficient to bring our earning assets leverage ratio to within the applicable threshold. In determining our earning assets leverage ratio (net earning assets divided by adjusted equity) under the Support Agreement, net earning assets means our finance receivables, net, plus leased vehicles, net, and adjusted equity means our equity, net of goodwill and inclusive of outstanding junior subordinated debt, as each may be adjusted for derivative accounting from time to time. 
Additionally, the Support Agreement provides that GM will own all of our outstanding voting shares as long as we have any unsecured debt securities outstanding and that GM will use its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that we will continue to be designated as a subsidiary borrower of up to $4.0 billion under GM’s corporate revolving credit facilities. We have the ability to borrow up to $1.0 billion under GM's three-year, $4.0 billion unsecured revolving credit facility and $3.0 billion under GM's five-year, $10.5 billion unsecured revolving credit facility, subject to available capacity. GM also agreed to certain provisions in the Support Agreement intended to ensure that we maintain adequate access to liquidity. Pursuant to these provisions, GM provided us with a $1.0 billion junior subordinated unsecured intercompany revolving credit facility (the Junior Subordinated Revolving Credit Facility).
We are included in GM's consolidated U.S. federal income tax returns. For taxable income we recognize in any period beginning on or after October 1, 2010, we are obligated to pay GM for our share of the consolidated U.S. federal and certain state tax liabilities. Amounts owed to GM for income taxes are accrued and recorded as a related party payable.  At March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, there are no related party taxes payable to GM due to our taxable loss position.

(b) Net of unearned income, unamortized premiums and discounts, and deferred fees and costs of $199 million and $191 million at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

We estimate the fair value of retail finance receivables using observable and unobservable Level 3 inputs within a cash flow model. The inputs reflect assumptions regarding expected prepayments, deferrals, delinquencies, recoveries and charge-offs of the loans within the portfolio. The cash flow model produces an estimated amortization schedule of the finance receivables. The projected cash flows are then discounted to derive the fair value of the portfolio. Macroeconomic factors could affect the credit performance of the portfolio and, therefore, could potentially affect the assumptions used in our cash flow model. A substantial majority of our commercial finance receivables have variable interest rates. The carrying amount, a Level 2 input, is considered to be a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Retail Credit Quality We use proprietary scoring systems in the underwriting process that measure the credit quality of the receivables using several factors, such as credit bureau information, consumer credit risk scores (e.g. FICO score or its equivalent), and contract characteristics. We also consider other factors, such as employment history, financial stability and capacity to pay. At the time of loan origination, substantially all of our International Segment customers have the equivalent of prime credit scores. In the North America Segment, while we historically focused on consumers with lower than prime credit scores, we have expanded our prime lending programs. A summary of the credit risk profile by FICO score band or equivalent scores, determined at origination, of the retail finance receivables in the North America Segment is as follows:

In addition, we review the credit quality of our retail finance receivables based on customer payment activity. A retail account is considered delinquent if a substantial portion of a scheduled payment has not been received by the date such payment was contractually due. Retail finance receivables are collateralized by vehicle titles and, subject to local laws, we generally have the right to repossess the vehicle in the event the customer defaults on the payment terms of the contract. The following is a consolidated summary of the contractual amounts of delinquent retail finance receivables, which is not significantly different than the recorded investment for such receivables.

At March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the accrual of finance charge income had been suspended on retail finance receivables with contractual amounts due of $711 million and $807 million.
Impaired Retail Finance Receivables - TDRs Retail finance receivables that become classified as troubled debt restructurings (TDRs) are separately assessed for impairment. A specific allowance is estimated based on the present value of the expected future cash flows of the receivable discounted at the loan's original effective interest rate. Accounts that become classified as TDRs because of a payment deferral accrue interest at the contractual rate and an additional fee is collected (where permitted) at each time of deferral and recorded as a reduction of accrued interest. No interest or fees are forgiven on a payment deferral to a customer; therefore, there are no additional financial effects of deferred loans becoming classified as TDRs. Accounts in the U.S. in Chapter 13 bankruptcy would have already been placed on non-accrual; therefore, there are no additional financial effects from these loans becoming classified as TDRs. Finance charge income from loans classified as TDRs is accounted for in the same manner as other accruing loans. Cash collections on these loans are allocated according to the same payment hierarchy methodology applied to loans that are not classified as TDRs.

At March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the outstanding balance of retail finance receivables in the International Segment determined to be TDRs was insignificant; therefore, the following information is presented with regard to the TDRs in the North America Segment only.

Commercial Finance Receivables
Commercial Credit Quality We extend wholesale credit to dealers primarily in the form of approved lines of credit to purchase new vehicles as well as used vehicles. Each commercial lending request is evaluated, taking into consideration the borrower's financial condition and the underlying collateral for the loan. We use proprietary models to assign each dealer a risk rating. These models use historical performance data to identify key factors about a dealer that we consider significant in predicting a dealer's ability to meet its financial obligations. We also consider numerous other financial and qualitative factors including, but not limited to, capitalization and leverage, liquidity and cash flow, profitability and credit history. 
We regularly review our models to confirm the continued business significance and statistical predictability of the factors and update the models to incorporate new factors or other information that improves statistical predictability. In addition, we verify the existence of the assets collateralizing the receivables by physical audits of vehicle inventories, which are performed with increased frequency for higher risk dealers (i.e., Groups III, IV, V and VI). We perform periodic credit reviews of each dealership and adjust the dealership's risk rating, if necessary. Dealers in Group VI are subject to additional funding restrictions including suspension of lines of credit and liquidation of assets.
Performance of our commercial finance receivables is evaluated based on our internal dealer risk rating analysis, as payment for wholesale receivables is generally not required until the dealer has sold or leased the vehicle inventory. All receivables from the same dealer customer share the same risk rating. The following table summarizes the credit risk profile by dealer risk rating of commercial finance receivables:

Note 6. Equity in Net Assets of Non-consolidated Affiliates
We use the equity method to account for our equity interest in SAIC-GMAC Automotive Finance Company Limited (SAIC-GMAC), a joint venture that conducts auto finance operations in China. The income of SAIC-GMAC is not consolidated into our financial statements; rather, our proportionate share of the earnings is reflected as equity income.
There were no cash dividends received from SAIC-GMAC during the three months ended March 31, 2017. We received cash dividends from SAIC-GMAC of $27 million during the three months ended March 31, 2016. At March 31, 2017 we had undistributed earnings of $189 million related to SAIC-GMAC.

The fair value of our debt measured utilizing Level 2 inputs was based on quoted market prices for identical instruments and if unavailable, quoted market prices of similar instruments. For debt that has terms of one year or less or has been priced within the last six months, the carrying amount or par value is considered to be a reasonable estimate of fair value. The fair value of our debt measured utilizing Level 3 inputs was based on the discounted future net cash flows expected to be settled using current risk-adjusted rates.

Compliance with Debt Covenants Several of our revolving credit facilities require compliance with certain financial and operational covenants as well as regular reporting to lenders, including providing certain subsidiary financial statements. Certain of our secured debt agreements also contain various covenants, including maintaining portfolio performance ratios as well as limits on deferment levels. Our unsecured senior notes contain covenants including limitations on our ability to incur certain liens. At March 31, 2017, we were in compliance with these debt covenants.

These amounts are related to securitization and credit facilities held by consolidated VIEs. Our continuing involvement with these VIEs consists of servicing assets held by the entities and holding residual interests in the entities. We have determined that we are the primary beneficiary of each VIE because we hold both (i) the power to direct the activities of the VIEs that most significantly impact the VIEs' economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses from and the right to receive benefits of the VIEs that could potentially be significant to the VIEs. We are not required, and do not currently intend, to provide any

additional financial support to these VIEs. Liabilities recognized as a result of consolidating these entities generally do not represent claims against us or our other subsidiaries and assets recognized generally are for the benefit of these entities operations and cannot be used to satisfy our or our subsidiaries obligations.
Other VIEs We consolidate certain operating entities that provide auto finance and financial services, which we do not control through a majority voting interest. We manage these entities and maintain a controlling financial interest in them and are exposed to the risks of ownership through contractual arrangements. The majority voting interests in these entities are indirectly wholly-owned by our parent, GM.

The fair value for Level 2 instruments was derived using the market approach based on observable market inputs including quoted prices of similar instruments and foreign exchange and interest rate forward curves. The fair value for Level 3 instruments was derived using the income approach based on a discounted cash flow model, in which expected cash flows are discounted using current risk-adjusted rates. The activity for interest rate swap agreements measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) was insignificant for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016.

Note 10. Commitments and Contingencies
Guarantees of Indebtedness The payments of principal and interest on senior notes issued by our top-tier holding company, our primary Canadian operating subsidiary and a European subsidiary are guaranteed by our primary U.S. operating subsidiary, AFSI. At March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the par value of these senior notes was $31.5 billion and $29.0 billion. Refer to Note 15 - "Guarantor Condensed Consolidating Financial Statements" for further discussion.
Legal Proceedings As a retail finance company, we are subject to various customer claims and litigation seeking damages and statutory penalties, based upon, among other things, usury, disclosure inaccuracies, wrongful repossession, violations of bankruptcy stay provisions, certificate of title disputes, fraud, breach of contract and discriminatory treatment of credit applicants. Some litigation against us could take the form of class action complaints by customers and certain legal actions include claims for substantial compensatory and/or punitive damages or claims for indeterminate amounts of damages. We establish reserves for legal claims when payments associated with the claims become probable and the payments can be reasonably estimated. Given the inherent difficulty of predicting the outcome of litigation and regulatory matters, it is generally very difficult to predict what

13

GENERAL MOTORS FINANCIAL COMPANY, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)


the eventual outcome will be, and when the matter will be resolved. The actual costs of resolving legal claims may be higher or lower than any amounts reserved for the claims. At March 31, 2017, we estimated our reasonably possible legal exposure for unfavorable outcomes of up to $112 million, and have accrued $37 million.
In July 2014, we were served with a subpoena by the U.S. Department of Justice directing us to produce certain documents relating to our and our subsidiaries’ and affiliates’ origination and securitization of sub-prime automobile loans since 2007 in connection with an investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice in contemplation of a civil proceeding for potential violations of the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989. Among other matters, the subpoena requests information relating to the underwriting criteria used to originate these automobile loans and the representations and warranties relating to those underwriting criteria that were made in connection with the securitization of the automobile loans. We have subsequently been served with additional investigative subpoenas to produce documents from state attorneys general and other governmental offices relating to our automobile loan and lease business and securitization of automobile loans and leases. These investigations are ongoing and could in the future result in the imposition of damages, fines or civil or criminal claims and/or penalties. No assurance can be given that the ultimate outcome of the investigations or any resulting proceedings would not materially and adversely affect us or any of our subsidiaries and affiliates.
Other Administrative Tax Matters We accrue non-income tax liabilities for contingencies when management believes that a loss is probable and the amounts can be reasonably estimated, while contingent gains are recognized only when realized. In the event any losses are sustained in excess of accruals, they will be charged against income at that time.
In evaluating indirect tax matters, we take into consideration factors such as our historical experience with matters of similar nature, specific facts and circumstances, and the likelihood of prevailing. We reevaluate and update our accruals as matters progress over time. Where there is a reasonable possibility that losses exceeding amounts already recognized may be incurred, our estimate of the additional range of loss is up to $37 million.
Note 11. Income Taxes
For interim income tax reporting we estimate our annual effective tax rate and apply it to our year-to-date ordinary income. Tax jurisdictions with a projected or year-to-date loss for which a tax benefit cannot be realized are excluded from the annualized effective tax rate. The tax effects of unusual or infrequently occurring items, including changes in judgment about valuation allowances and effects of changes in tax laws or rates, are reported in the interim period in which they occur.
During the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, income tax expense of $58 million and $61 million primarily resulted from tax expense attributable to entities included in our effective tax rate calculation. The decrease in tax expense is due primarily to an increase in U.S. tax credits.
We are included in GM’s consolidated U.S. federal income tax return and for certain states’ income tax returns. Net operating losses and certain tax credits generated by us have been utilized by GM; however, income tax expense and deferred tax balances are presented in these financial statements as if we filed our own tax returns in each jurisdiction.
Note 12. Segment Reporting

We offer substantially similar products and services throughout many different regions, subject to local regulations and market conditions. We evaluate our business in two operating segments: the North America Segment and the International Segment. The North America Segment includes our operations in the U.S. and Canada. The International Segment includes our operations in all other countries. Our chief operating decision maker evaluates the operating results and performance of our business based on these operating segments. The management of each segment is responsible for executing our strategies.

Note 14. Regulatory Capital
We are required to comply with a wide variety of laws and regulations. Our International Segment includes the operations of certain stand-alone entities that operate in local markets as either banks or regulated finance companies that are subject to regulatory restrictions. These regulatory restrictions, among other things, require that these entities meet certain minimum capital requirements and may restrict dividend distributions and ownership of certain assets. We were in compliance with all regulatory capital requirements as most recently reported.
Total assets of our regulated international banks and finance companies were approximately $13.1 billion and $12.6 billion at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016.
Note 15. Guarantor Condensed Consolidating Financial Statements
The payment of principal and interest on senior notes issued by our top-tier holding company is currently guaranteed solely by AFSI (the Guarantor) and none of our other subsidiaries (the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries). The Guarantor is a 100% owned consolidated subsidiary and is unconditionally liable for the obligations represented by the senior notes.  The Guarantor’s guarantee may be released only upon customary circumstances, the terms of which vary by issuance.  Customary circumstances include the sale or disposition of all of the Guarantor’s assets or capital stock, the achievement of investment grade rating of the senior notes and legal or covenant defeasance.

(on a parent-only basis), (ii) the Guarantor, (iii) the combined Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries and (iv) the parent company and our subsidiaries on a consolidated basis at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, and for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 (after the elimination of intercompany balances and transactions).
Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for by the parent company using the equity method for purposes of this presentation. Results of operations of subsidiaries are therefore reflected in the parent company's investment accounts and earnings. The principal elimination entries set forth below eliminate investments in subsidiaries and intercompany balances and transactions.

GENERAL MOTORS FINANCIAL COMPANY, INC.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Basis of Presentation This Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A) should be read in conjunction with the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our 2016 Form 10-K.

Forward-looking statements in this MD&A are not guarantees of future performance and may involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. Refer to the "Forward-Looking Statements" section of this MD&A and the "Risk Factors" section of our 2016 Form 10-K for a discussion of these risks and uncertainties. Except as otherwise specified, dollar amounts presented within tables are stated in millions.
Retail Our retail automobile finance programs in the North America Segment include full-spectrum lending and leasing offered through GM-franchised dealers under the "GM Financial" brand. We also offer a sub-prime lending product through non-GM-franchised and select independent dealers under the "AmeriCredit" brand. Our sub-prime lending program is designed to serve customers who have limited access to automobile financing through banks and credit unions. We therefore generally charge higher rates than those charged by banks and credit unions and expect to sustain a higher level of credit losses than on prime lending. We finance new GM vehicles, moderately-priced new vehicles from other manufacturers, and later-model, low mileage used vehicles.
The retail lending and leasing programs in our International Segment focus on financing new GM vehicles and select used vehicles, predominantly for customers with prime credit scores. We also offer finance and/or car-related insurance products through third parties, such as payment protection insurance, gap, extended warranty, and motor insurance.
We have expanded our leasing and prime lending programs through GM-franchised dealerships in the U.S.; therefore, leasing and prime lending have become a larger percentage of our originations and retail portfolio balance. We have been the exclusive subvented lease provider for GM in the U.S. since April 2015 and the exclusive subvented loan provider for GM in the U.S. since January 2016. We define prime lending as lending to customers with FICO scores or equivalents of 680 and greater, near-prime lending as lending to customers with FICO scores or equivalents of 620 to 679, and sub-prime lending as lending to customers with FICO scores or equivalents of less than 620. The following table presents our retail loan and lease originations in the North America Segment by FICO score band or equivalents:

We expect used car prices to decline approximately 7% during 2017 as compared to 2016 and expect potential further moderation in 2018 due primarily to an increased supply of used vehicles. We are currently experiencing weaker residual values, especially in the crossover segment. We continue to expect pre-tax income to double from 2014 earnings of $815 million once full captive penetration levels are achieved.

________________ 
(a)
Operating leases originated represents the number of operating leases we purchase during a given period.
(b)
Operating leases terminated represents the number of vehicles for which the lease has ended during a given period.
(c)
Operating lease vehicles returned represents the number of vehicles returned to us for remarketing at the end of the lease term.
(d)
Return rates are calculated as the number of operating leases returned divided by the number of operating leases terminated.
Operating leases terminated and operating lease vehicles returned increased due to the growth and maturity of the lease portfolio. Due to the current age and size of our lease portfolio, the current return rate is lower than we expect it to be in future periods as our lease portfolio grows and matures.
Commercial Our commercial lending programs are offered primarily to our GM-franchised dealer customers and their affiliates. Commercial lending products include floorplan financing, also known as wholesale or inventory financing, which is lending to finance vehicle inventory, as well as dealer loans, which are loans to finance improvements to dealership facilities, to provide working capital, and to purchase and/or finance dealership real estate. Other commercial products include financing for parts and accessories, dealer fleets and storage centers.
Financing We primarily finance our loan, lease and commercial origination volume through the use of our secured and unsecured credit facilities, through public and private securitization transactions where such markets are developed, through the issuance of unsecured debt in the public markets and by accepting deposits from retail banking customers in Germany. Generally, we seek to fund our operations through local sources of funding to minimize currency and country risk, although we may issue debt globally in order to enhance funding source diversification and support financing needs for the U.S. As such, the mix of funding sources varies from country to country, based on the characteristics of our earning assets and the relative development of the capital markets in each country. Our operations in the U.S., Canada, Latin America and China are generally funded locally. Our European operations obtain most of their funding from local sources and also borrow funds from affiliated companies. We actively monitor the capital markets and seek to optimize our mix of funding sources and our cost of funds.
PSA Transaction On March 5, 2017, GM through a wholly-owned subsidiary (the Seller), entered into a Master Agreement with Peugeot, S.A. (PSA Group) pursuant to which PSA Group will acquire GM's Opel and Vauxhall businesses and certain other assets in Europe (the Opel/Vauxhall Business) and certain of our European subsidiaries and branches (European Operations, together with the Opel/Vauxhall Business, the Transferred Business), as described in Note 2 - "Disposition of Business" to our condensed consolidated financial statements.
The net consideration to be paid for our European Operations will be 0.8 times their book value at closing, which we estimate will be approximately $1 billion, denominated in Euros. The purchase price is subject to certain adjustments as provided in the Agreement. We expect to recognize a disposal loss of approximately $700 million to $800 million at closing.
The transfer of the Transferred Business is subject to the satisfaction of various closing conditions, including receipt of necessary antitrust, financial and other regulatory approvals, the reorganization of the Transferred Business, including pension plans in the United Kingdom, the completion of the contribution or sale by Adam Opel AG of its assets and liabilities to a subsidiary, the transfer of GMAC UK plc’s interest in SAIC-GMAC Automotive Finance Company Limited to us or an alternate entity designated by the Seller, unless either party elects to close without completion of the transfer, and the continued accuracy, subject to certain exceptions, at closing of certain of the Seller’s representations and warranties. There can be no assurance that all required governmental consents or clearances will be obtained or that the other closing conditions will be satisfied. The transfer of the Opel/Vauxhall Business is expected to close by the end of 2017 and the transfer of our European Operations is expected to close as soon as practicable after the receipt of necessary antitrust, financial and other regulatory approvals, which may be after the transfer of the Opel/Vauxhall Business, but not before. The transfer of our European Operations will not occur unless the transfer of the Opel/Vauxhall Business occurs.

Our principal focus is on expanding our business in the U.S. to reach full captive penetration levels; therefore, we do not expect that the sale of our European Operations will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial condition, liquidity or financing strategies, including the mix of secured and unsecured debt issuances. We also do not expect that sale of our European Operations will result in a material increase in our ratio of total debt to total equity or our earning assets leverage ratio as calculated under our Support Agreement with GM. Due to the size of the prime retail loan portfolio held by our European Operations, we expect that, for a period of time following the sale, retail operating leases will make up a greater percentage of our earning assets than they have historically. As our U.S. operations increase purchases of prime retail loans, we expect that our earning asset mix will return to more recent historical levels. We may make a special dividend over time to GM following the completion of the sale.
Results of Operations
In our tabular presentation of the changes in results between financial periods, we provide the following information:  (i) the amount of change excluding the impact of foreign currency translation (“FX”); (ii) the amount of the impact of foreign currency translation; and (iii) the total change. The amount of the impact of foreign currency translation is derived by translating current year results at the average of prior year exchange rates, and is driven by the change in the U.S. Dollar against the currencies used by our foreign operations. We believe the amount of change excluding the foreign currency translation impact facilitates a better comparison of results. In our discussion below, we discuss changes in relevant items excluding any foreign currency translation impact. Average balances are calculated using daily balances, where available. Otherwise average balances are calculated using monthly ending balances.

Average finance receivables increased in the North America Segment as a result of the continued increase of our share of GM's business in that segment. The increase in average leased vehicles, net primarily resulted from our exclusive lease subvention arrangement in the U.S. with GM.
In the North America Segment, the average annual percentage rate for retail finance receivables purchased during the three months ended March 31, 2017 decreased to 6.5% from 7.7% during the prior period due primarily to the expansion of our prime lending program and our exclusive loan subvention arrangement in the U.S. with GM.

In the North America Segment, finance charge income on retail finance receivables increased slightly for the three months ended March 31, 2017, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2016, due to growth in the portfolio, substantially offset by a decrease in effective yield. The effective yield on our retail finance receivables decreased due primarily to a decrease in the average annual percentage rate on new originations as we have increased our prime lending. The effective yield represents finance charges and fees recorded in earnings during the period as a percentage of average retail finance receivables. The effective yield, as a percentage of average retail finance receivables, is higher than the contractual rates of our auto finance contracts primarily because the effective yield includes, in addition to the contractual rates and fees, the impact of rate subvention provided by GM.
The increase in leased vehicle income reflects the increase in the size of the leased asset portfolio.

During 2016, amounts do not reflect allocation of senior note interest expense, and therefore do not agree with amounts presented in Note 12 - "Segment Reporting" in our condensed consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q.

Operating Expenses The increase in operating expenses relates to the growth in earning assets and investments to support the prime lending program and enhance lease origination and servicing capabilities in the North America Segment. Operating expenses as an annualized percentage of average earning assets decreased to 2.0% from 2.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, due primarily to efficiency gains achieved through higher earning asset levels.
Leased Vehicle Expenses Leased vehicle expenses, which are primarily comprised of depreciation of leased vehicles, increased due to the growth of the leased asset portfolio.
Provision for Loan Losses The provision for retail loan losses increased due primarily to the growth in the retail finance receivables portfolio. As an annualized percentage of average retail finance receivables, the provision for retail loan losses decreased to 2.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2017 from 2.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2016, due primarily to a

26

GENERAL MOTORS FINANCIAL COMPANY, INC.

shift in the credit mix of the portfolio to a larger percentage of prime loans. The provision for commercial loan losses was insignificant for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016.
Interest Expense Interest expense increased due primarily to an increase in the average debt outstanding resulting from growth in the loan and lease portfolios.
Taxes Our consolidated effective income tax rate was 27.2% and 32.3% of income before income taxes and equity income for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016. The decrease in the effective tax rate is due primarily to reduced tax expense attributable to entities included in our effective tax rate calculation and an increase in certain U.S. tax credits.
Other Comprehensive Income
Foreign Currency Translation Adjustment Foreign currency translation adjustments included in other comprehensive income were $94 million and $153 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016. Most of the international operations use functional currencies other than the U.S. Dollar. Translation adjustments result from changes in the values of our international currency-denominated assets and liabilities as the value of the U.S. Dollar changes in relation to international currencies.

Deferrals In accordance with our policies and guidelines in the North America Segment, we, at times, offer payment deferrals to retail customers, whereby the borrower is allowed to move up to two delinquent payments to the end of the loan generally by paying a fee (approximately the interest portion of the payment deferred, except where state law provides for a lesser amount). Our policies and guidelines limit the number and frequency of deferments that may be granted. Additionally, we generally limit the granting of deferments on new accounts until a requisite number of payments have been received. Contracts receiving a payment deferral as an average quarterly percentage of average retail finance receivables outstanding were 4.3% and 5.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016. Deferrals in the International Segment are insignificant.

Recovery percentage is a percentage of gross repossession charge-offs. Charge-offs for the International Segment primarily include the write-down of receivables to net realizable value. As a result, a calculation of recoveries as a percentage of gross charge-offs is not meaningful. The decrease in the recovery rate for North America reflects moderation in used car prices, due primarily to an increase in supply.

GENERAL MOTORS FINANCIAL COMPANY, INC.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
General Our primary sources of cash are finance charge income, leasing income and proceeds from the sale of terminated leased vehicles, servicing fees, net distributions from secured debt facilities, including securitizations, secured and unsecured borrowings and collections and recoveries on finance receivables. Our primary uses of cash are purchases of retail finance receivables and leased vehicles, the funding of commercial finance receivables, repayment of secured and unsecured debt, funding credit enhancement requirements in connection with securitizations and secured credit facilities, operating expenses and interest costs.
In the North America Segment, our purchase and funding of retail and commercial finance receivables and leased vehicles are financed initially utilizing cash and borrowings on our secured credit facilities. Subsequently, our strategy is to obtain long-term financing for finance receivables and leased vehicles through securitization transactions and the issuance of unsecured debt.
In the International Segment, our purchase and funding of finance receivables are typically financed with borrowings on secured and unsecured credit facilities. In certain countries where the debt capital and securitization markets are sufficiently developed, such as in Germany and the U.K., we obtain long-term financing through securitization transactions. In addition, we raise unsecured debt in the international capital markets through the issuance of notes under our Euro medium term note program and accept deposits from retail banking customers in Germany.
Cash Flow During the three months ended March 31, 2017, net cash provided by operating activities increased due primarily to increased lease vehicle income resulting from growth in the leased vehicle portfolio, partially offset by increased interest expense and increased operating expenses.
During the three months ended March 31, 2017, net cash used in investing activities increased due to an increase in net purchases of retail finance receivables of $2.2 billion, partially offset by a decrease in purchases of leased vehicles of $364 million, a decrease in net fundings of commercial finance receivables of $483 million, increased collections on retail finance receivables of $324 million, and an increase in proceeds received on terminated leases of $601 million.
During the three months ended March 31, 2017, net cash provided by financing activities increased due primarily to an increase in borrowings, net of repayments, of $231 million.

_________________
(a)
Includes $585 million and $839 million in unrestricted cash outside of the U.S. at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016. This cash is considered to be indefinitely invested based on specific plans for reinvestment of these earnings.
During the three months ended March 31, 2017, available liquidity decreased due primarily to increased credit facility utilization due to asset growth, which lowers borrowing capacity.
We have the ability to borrow up to $1.0 billion under GM's three-year, $4.0 billion unsecured revolving credit facility and up to $3.0 billion under GM's five-year, $10.5 billion unsecured revolving credit facility, subject to available capacity. Our borrowings under GM's facilities are limited by GM's ability to borrow the entire amount available under the facilities. Therefore, we may be able to borrow up to $4.0 billion in total or may be unable to borrow depending on GM's borrowing activity. If we do borrow under these facilities, we expect such borrowings would be short-term in nature and, except in extraordinary circumstances, would not be used to fund our operating activities in the ordinary course of business. Neither we, nor any of our subsidiaries, guarantee any obligations under these facilities and none of our assets secure these facilities. Liquidity available to us under the GM unsecured revolving credit facilities is not included in the table above. At March 31, 2017, we had no amounts borrowed under either of GM's unsecured revolving credit facilities.
Credit Facilities In the normal course of business, in addition to using our available cash, we utilize borrowings under our credit facilities, which may be secured and/or structured as securitizations, or may be unsecured, and we repay these borrowings as appropriate under our liquidity management strategy.

Forward-Looking Statements
This report contains several "forward-looking statements." Forward-looking statements are those that use words such as "believe," "expect," "intend," "plan," "may," "likely," "should," "estimate," "continue," "future" or "anticipate" and other comparable expressions. These words indicate future events and trends. Forward-looking statements are our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. These forward-looking statements are subject to many assumptions, risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ significantly from historical results or from those anticipated by us. The most significant risks are detailed from time to time in our filings and reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. It is advisable not to place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to, and do not, publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, except as required by federal securities laws, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
The following factors are among those that may cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or from the forward-looking statements:
GM's ability to sell new vehicles that we finance in the markets we serve in North America, Latin America, China and Europe, particularly in the U.K. where automobile sales may be negatively impacted due to the passage of the referendum to discontinue its membership in the European Union;
the viability of GM-franchised dealers that are commercial loan customers;
the availability and cost of sources of financing;
the level of net charge-offs, delinquencies and prepayments on the loans and leases we originate;
the effect, interpretation or application of new or existing laws, regulations, court decisions and accounting pronouncements;
the prices at which used cars are sold in the wholesale auction markets;
vehicle return rates and the residual value performance on vehicles we lease;
interest rate and currency exchange rate fluctuations;
our financial condition and liquidity, as well as future cash flows and earnings;
changes in general economic and business conditions;
competition;
our ability to manage risks related to security breaches and other disruptions to our networks and systems;
changes in business strategy, including expansion of product lines and credit risk appetite, acquisitions and divestitures; and
risks and uncertainties associated with the consummation of the sale of the Transferred Business to the PSA Group, including satisfaction of the closing conditions.
If one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or if underlying assumptions prove incorrect, our actual results may vary materially from those expected, estimated or projected.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Disclosure Controls and Procedures We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms and accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer (CEO) and principal financial officer (CFO), as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

evaluation, required by paragraph (b) of Rule 13a-15 and/or 15d-15, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2017.
