GENERAL MOTORS FINANCIAL COMPANY, INC.

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). 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, General Motors Company (GM). All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Our operations in Europe are presented as discontinued operations, and the related assets and liabilities are presented as held for sale in our condensed consolidated financial statements for all periods presented. Unless otherwise indicated, information in these notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements relates to continuing operations. Refer to Note 2 - "Discontinued Operations" for additional details regarding our planned disposal of these operations.
The 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 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 September 30, 2017, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, are unaudited and, in management’s opinion, include all adjustments, which consist of normal recurring adjustments and transactions or events discretely impacting the interim periods, considered necessary by management to fairly state our results of operations. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.
In August 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standard Update 2017-12, "Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities" (ASU 2017-12), which simplifies the application of hedge accounting and more closely aligns hedge accounting with companies' risk management strategies thereby making more hedging strategies eligible for hedge accounting. ASU 2017-12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. ASU 2017-12 requires a cumulative-effect adjustment for certain items upon adoption. We are currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2017-12 will have on our consolidated financial statements.
Segment Information We are the wholly-owned captive finance subsidiary of 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 Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico and Peru as well as our equity investment in SAIC-GMAC Automotive Finance Company Limited (SAIC-GMAC), a joint venture that conducts auto finance operations in China.
Note 2. Discontinued Operations
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. Pursuant to the Agreement, Peugeot S.A. acquired on July 31, 2017 GM’s Opel and Vauxhall businesses and certain other assets in Europe (the Opel/Vauxhall Business) and will acquire, together with a financial partner, certain of our European financial subsidiaries and branches (collectively, our European Operations and, together with Opel/Vauxhall Business, GM's European Business). The transfer of our European Operations is expected to close by the end of the year subject to the receipt of the necessary regulatory approvals and satisfaction of other closing conditions.
The net consideration to be paid for our European Operations will be 0.8 times their book value at closing. Based on exchange rates at September 30, 2017, we estimate the net consideration will be approximately $1.1 billion, and we currently expect to recognize a disposal loss of approximately $500 million, subject to foreign currency fluctuations, which have had a favorable impact on the estimated loss. The purchase price is subject to certain adjustments as provided in the Agreement. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we recognized a portion of the disposal loss in accordance with ASC 360 - "Property, Plant and Equipment." We expect to recognize the remainder of the disposal loss at the closing of the transaction.

Note 3. Related Party Transactions
We offer loan and lease finance products through GM-franchised dealers to customers purchasing new vehicles manufactured by GM and certain used vehicles 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.
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-financing leases, which are included in our finance receivables, net.

_________________
(a)
Included in finance receivables, net.
(b)
Included in related party receivables. We received subvention payments from GM of $1.1 billion and $1.0 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, and $3.3 billion and $3.2 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.
(c)
Included in related party payables.
(d)
Included in finance charge income.
(e)
Included as a reduction to leased vehicle expenses.
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 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 September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, there are no related party taxes payable to GM due to our taxable loss position.

________________
(a) Net of unearned income, unamortized premiums and discounts, and deferred fees and costs of $282 million and $178 million at September 30, 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.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)

Retail Credit Quality Our retail finance receivables portfolio includes loans made to consumers and businesses to finance the purchase of vehicles for personal and commercial use. 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. In North America, 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 North America 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 September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the accrual of finance charge income had been suspended on retail finance receivables with contractual amounts due of $797 million and $798 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.

Commercial Finance Receivables
Commercial Credit Quality Our commercial finance receivables consist of dealer financings, primarily for inventory purchases. A proprietary model is used to assign a risk rating to each dealer. 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 restrictions on funding, including suspension of lines of credit and liquidation of assets.

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 with original maturity or revolving period of eighteen months or less 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.
Secured Debt Most of the secured debt was issued by VIEs and is repayable only from proceeds related to the underlying pledged assets. Refer to Note 8 - "Variable Interest Entities" for further discussion.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we entered into new credit facilities or renewed credit facilities with a total net additional borrowing capacity of $1.7 billion, and we issued $18.8 billion in aggregate principal amount of securitization notes payable with an initial weighted average interest rate of 2.09% and legal final maturity dates ranging from 2019 to 2025.
Unsecured Debt During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we issued $10.6 billion in aggregate principal amount of senior notes with an initial weighted average interest rate of 2.87% and maturity dates ranging from 2019 to 2027.
All of these notes are guaranteed by AmeriCredit Financial Services, Inc. (AFSI), our primary U.S. operating subsidiary, and $407 million in senior notes issued by subsidiaries in Canada and Mexico are also guaranteed by General Motors Financial Company, Inc.
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 September 30, 2017, we were in compliance with our debt covenants.

(a) Included in other assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
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 other subsidiaries' obligations.

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 and nine months ended September 30, 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 September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the par value of these senior notes was $37.3 billion and $29.0 billion. Refer to Note 16 - "Guarantor Condensed Consolidating Financial Statements" for further discussion.
Legal Proceedings As a 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 the eventual

13

GENERAL MOTORS FINANCIAL COMPANY, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)

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 September 30, 2017, we estimate our reasonably possible legal exposure for unfavorable outcomes is up to $73 million excluding $38 million related to the discontinued operations. We have accrued $24 million excluding $10 million related to the discontinued operations.
In 2014 and 2015, we were served with investigative subpoenas to produce documents from various state attorneys general and other local 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 other civil or criminal 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 $18 million excluding $18 million related to the discontinued operations.
Note 11. Shareholders' Equity
On September 1, 2017, we executed a 10,000 to 1 stock split of each share of our previously authorized common stock, par value $1.00 per share. Each outstanding share was deemed automatically converted into 10,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share.
In September 2017, we issued 1,000,000 shares, par value $0.01 per share, of Fixed-to-Floating Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A, at a liquidation preference $1,000 per share, for net proceeds of $985 million.
For the first 10 years after issuance, holders of the preferred stock will be entitled to receive cash dividend payments at an annual rate of 5.750%, payable semi-annually in arrears on March 30 and September 30 of each year beginning on March 30, 2018. After 10 years, holders of the preferred stock will be entitled to receive cash dividend payments at a floating rate equal to the then applicable three-month U.S. dollar LIBOR plus a spread of 3.598% per annum, payable quarterly in arrears, on March 30, June 30, September 30 and December 30 of each year. Dividends on the preferred stock are cumulative whether or not we have earnings, whether or not there are funds legally available for the payment of the dividends and whether or not the dividends are authorized or declared.
The preferred stock does not have a maturity date. We may, at our option, redeem the shares of preferred stock, in whole or in part, at any time on or after September 30, 2027, at a price of $1,000 per share of preferred stock plus all accumulated and unpaid dividends.
Note 12. 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 and nine months ended September 30, 2017, income tax expense of $124 million and $260 million primarily resulted from tax expense attributable to entities included in our effective tax rate calculation. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, income tax expense of $60 million and $185 million primarily resulted from tax expense attributable to entities included in our effective tax rate calculation.
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 13. 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 Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico and Peru as well as our equity investment in SAIC-GMAC, a joint venture that conducts auto finance operations in China. 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. As discussed in Note 2 - "Discontinued Operations," our European Operations are presented as discontinued operations and are excluded from our segment results for all periods presented. These operations were previously included in our International Segment. Key operating data for our operating segments were as follows:

Note 15. Regulatory Capital and other Regulatory Matters
We are required to comply with a wide variety of laws and regulations. Certain of our entities operate in international markets as either banks or regulated finance companies that are subject to regulatory restrictions. These regulatory restrictions, among other things, require that certain of these entities meet 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 $7.6 billion and $6.9 billion at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

Note 16. 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.
The condensed consolidating financial statements present consolidating financial data for (i) General Motors Financial Company, Inc. (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 September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 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.
Our European Operations are presented as discontinued operations, and the assets and liabilities of our European Operations are presented as held for sale in our condensed consolidated financial statements for all periods presented. Unless otherwise indicated, information in this discussion and analysis relates to continuing operations. Refer to Note 2 - "Discontinued Operations" to our condensed consolidated financial statements for additional details regarding our planned disposal of these operations.
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 U.S. 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.
Our international retail lending and leasing programs focus on financing new GM vehicles and select used vehicles. We also offer finance and/or car-related insurance products through third parties, such as payment protection, 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. The following table presents our retail loan and lease originations in the North America Segment by FICO score band or equivalents:

(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.

26

GENERAL MOTORS FINANCIAL COMPANY, INC.

Operating leases terminated and operating lease vehicles returned increased due to the growth and maturity of the leased asset 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.

Based on recent pricing trends for used vehicles in the secondary market, which have remained more favorable than previously expected, as well as the temporary impact from Hurricanes Harvey and Irma, we now expect used car prices to decline less than 7% during 2017 compared to 2016. We continue to expect an increased supply of used vehicles to pressure used car prices in 2018.
Commercial Our commercial lending programs are offered primarily to our GM-franchised dealer customers and their affiliates. Commercial lending products primarily include floorplan financing, working capital financing, loans to purchase and/or finance dealership real estate and loans to finance improvements to dealership facilities. 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 and through the issuance of unsecured debt in the public markets. 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. We actively monitor the capital markets and seek to optimize our mix of funding sources and our cost of funds.
Peugeot S.A. Transaction 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. Pursuant to the Agreement, Peugeot S.A. acquired on July 31, 2017 GM’s Opel and Vauxhall businesses and certain other assets in Europe (the Opel/Vauxhall Business) and will acquire, together with a financial partner, certain of our European financial subsidiaries and branches (collectively, our European Operations and, together with Opel/Vauxhall Business, GM's European Business), as described in Note 2 - "Discontinued Operations" 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. Based on exchange rates at September 30, 2017, we estimate the net consideration will be approximately $1.1 billion, and we currently expect to recognize a disposal loss of approximately $500 million, subject to foreign currency fluctuations, which have had a favorable impact on the estimated loss. The purchase price is subject to certain adjustments as provided in the Agreement. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we recognized a portion of the disposal loss, in accordance with ASC 360 - "Property, Plant and Equipment." We expect to recognize the remainder of the disposal loss at the closing of the transaction.
At and during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the assets and liabilities of our European Operations have been presented as held for sale and its operations and cash flows have been presented as discontinued operations based on the progress towards satisfying the various closing conditions necessary to complete the transaction. The transfer of our European Operations is expected to close by the end of the year subject to the receipt of the remaining necessary regulatory approvals and satisfaction of other closing conditions. Refer to Note 2 - "Discontinued Operations" to our condensed consolidated financial statements for more information related to the assets and liabilities held for sale and discontinued operations of our European Operations.
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 the 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, leased vehicles will make up a greater

27

GENERAL MOTORS FINANCIAL COMPANY, INC.

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 will distribute 50% of the sales proceeds to GM as a special dividend shortly following the completion of the sale.
We continue to expect pre-tax income to double from 2014 earnings of $815 million once full captive penetration levels are achieved on a consistent basis.

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 balances.

Finance charge income on retail finance receivables increased 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 in the U.S. to 5.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2017 from 6.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2016, as we have increased our lending to borrowers with prime credit. 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.

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 U.S. Operating expenses as an annualized percentage of average earning assets decreased to 1.7% from 2.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2017, compared to the three months ended September 30, 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 of 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 September 30, 2017 from 2.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2016, due primarily to a 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 September 30, 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 46.1% and 38.0% of income before income taxes and equity income for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016. The increase in the effective income tax rate is due primarily to differences in U.S. taxation of foreign earnings and a decrease in certain U.S. federal tax credits.
Other Comprehensive Income
Foreign Currency Translation Adjustment Foreign currency translation adjustments included in other comprehensive income (loss) were $120 million and $(10) million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016. 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.

Taxes Our consolidated effective income tax rate was 33.9% and 37.7% of income before income taxes and equity income for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016. The decrease in the effective income 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. federal tax credits.

At September 30, 2017, the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of retail finance receivables, net of fees, decreased from the level at December 31, 2016 consistent with the improved credit mix in our portfolio resulting from our expansion of prime lending. The allowance for loan losses reflects our estimate of the impact on credit losses resulting from hurricane activity during the three months ended September 30, 2017, which we expect to be minimal.

Deferrals In accordance with our policies and guidelines in the North America Segment, we may 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 deferrals that may be granted. Additionally, we generally limit the granting of deferrals 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 increased to 6.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2017 from 5.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2016 primarily due to deferrals granted on accounts of borrowers who were impacted by hurricane activity during the quarter. Contracts receiving a payment deferral as an average quarterly percentage of average retail finance receivables outstanding were 4.9% and 5.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016. Deferrals in the International Segment were insignificant.

Net charge-offs as an annualized percentage of average retail finance receivables decreased during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 from the prior period, primarily due to the shift in the North America receivables portfolio toward prime credit quality and due to growth in the North America portfolio. The recovery rate as a percentage of gross repossession charge-offs in North America was 51.8% and 52.4% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 52.3% and 53.8% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016.

There were insignificant charge-offs of commercial finance receivables during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and none during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016. At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, substantially all of our commercial finance receivables were current with respect to payment status and none were classified as TDRs. The inventory securing our commercial finance receivables is generally covered by insurance; therefore, we do not expect any significant impact to credit losses resulting from hurricane activity during the three months ended September 30, 2017.
Leased Vehicles At September 30, 2017 and 2016, 99.1% of our operating leases were current with respect to payment status. Our leased vehicles are generally insured; therefore, we do not expect any significant losses resulting from hurricane activity during the three months ended September 30, 2017.

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.
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, we typically obtain long-term financing for finance receivables and leased vehicles through securitization transactions and the issuance of unsecured debt.
Cash Flow During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, net cash provided by operating activities increased due primarily to an increase in net leased vehicle income, partially offset by increased interest expense and operating expenses.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, net cash used in investing activities increased due to an increase in net purchases of retail finance receivables of $4.9 billion and an increase in net fundings of commercial finance receivables of $0.4 billion, partially offset by a decrease in purchases of leased vehicles of $130 million, increased collections and recoveries on retail finance receivables of $2.0 billion, and an increase in proceeds received on terminated leases of $2.9 billion.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, net cash provided by financing activities increased due primarily to the issuance of preferred stock of $985 million and an increase in borrowings, net of repayments, of $146 million.

(a)
Includes $377 million and $454 million in unrestricted cash outside of the U.S. at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. This cash is considered to be indefinitely invested based on specific plans for reinvestment of these earnings.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, available liquidity increased due primarily to an increase in cash and additional capacity on new and renewed secured credit facilities, resulting from the issuance of secured and unsecured debt and preferred stock.
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 September 30, 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;
the viability of GM-franchised dealers that are commercial loan customers;
the availability and cost of sources of financing;
our joint venture in China, which we cannot operate solely for our benefit and over which we have limited control;
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 fluctuations and certain related derivatives exposure;
foreign 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 GM's European Business to Peugeot S.A., 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
There have been no significant changes in our exposure to market risk since December 31, 2016. Refer to Item 7A - "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk" in our 2016 Form 10-K.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
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.
Our management, with the participation of our CEO and CFO, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act) at September 30, 2017. Based on this 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 September 30, 2017.
