In the presentation that follows and related comments by Ally Financial Inc. (“Ally”) management, the use of the words “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “forecast,” “initiative,” “objective,” “plan,” “goal,” “project,” “outlook,” “priorities,” “target,” “explore,” “positions,” “intend,” “evaluate,” “pursue,” “seek,” “may,” “would, ” “could, ” “should, ” “believe, ” “potential, ” “continue,” or the negative of these words, or similar expressions is intended to identify forward-looking statements. All statements herein and in related management comments, other than statements of historical fact, including without limitation, statements about future events and financial performance, are forward-looking statements that involve certain risks and uncertainties. While these statements represent our current judgment on what the future may hold, and we believe these judgments are reasonable, these statements are not guarantees of any events or financial results, and Ally’s actual results may differ materially due to numerous important factors that are described in the most recent reports on SEC Forms 10-K and 10-Q for Ally, each of which may be revised or supplemented in subsequent reports filed with the SEC. Such factors include, among others, the following: maintaining the mutually beneficial relationship between Ally and General Motors (“GM”), and Ally and Chrysler Group LLC (“Chrysler”); our ability to maintain relationships with automotive dealers; our ability to realize the anticipated benefits associated with being a financial holding company, and the significant regulation and restrictions that we are now subject to; the potential for deterioration in the residual value of off-lease vehicles; disruptions in the market in which we fund our operations, with resulting negative impact on our liquidity; changes in our accounting assumptions that may require or that result from changes in the accounting rules or their application, which could result in an impact on earnings; changes in the credit ratings of Ally, Chrysler, or GM; changes in economic conditions, currency exchange rates or political stability in the markets in which we operate; and changes in the existing or the adoption of new laws, regulations, policies or other activities of governments, agencies and similar organizations (including as a result of the Dodd-Frank Act and Basel III). Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Ally undertakes no obligation to update publicly or otherwise revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or other such factors that affect the subject of these statements, except where expressly required by law. Certain non-GAAP measures are provided in this presentation which are important to the reader of the Consolidated Financial Statements but should be supplemental to primary U.S. GAAP measures. Reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures included within this presentation are provided in this presentation. Use of the term “loans” describes products associated with direct and indirect lending activities of Ally’s operations. The specific products include retail installment sales contracts, lines of credit, leases or other financing products.

11 CONFIDENTIAL Supplemental


 
12 Notes on non-GAAP and other financial measures Supplemental (1) Represents a non-GAAP financial measure. See slide 13 for details. (2) We define tangible common equity as common stockholders’ equity less goodwill and identifiable intangible assets (other than mortgage servicing rights), net of deferred tax liabilities. Ally considers various measures when evaluating capital adequacy, including tangible common equity. Tangible common equity is not formally defined by GAAP or codified in the federal banking regulations and, therefore, is considered to be a non-GAAP financial measure. Ally believes that tangible common equity is important because we believe analysts and banking regulators may assess our capital adequacy using this measure. Additionally, presentation of this measure allows readers to compare certain aspects of our capital adequacy on the same basis to other companies in the industry.

13 Notes on non-GAAP and other financial measures Supplemental 1) Core pretax income (loss) is a non-GAAP financial measure. It is defined as income (loss) from continuing operations before income tax expense and primarily bond exchange original issue discount ("OID") amortization expense. 2) Repositioning items are primarily related to the extinguishment of high-cost legacy debt in 2015 and 2014. Additionally, expenses associated with Ally’s IPO were repositioned in 2014. 3) Core ROTCE is equal to Operating Net Income Available to Common divided by Normalized Common Equity. A. Operating Net Income Available to Common is calculated as (a) Pretax Income from Continuing Operations minus (b) Income Tax Expense using a normalized 34% rate plus (c) expense associated with original issue bond discount amortization minus (d) preferred dividends associated with our Series A and Series G preferred stock plus (e) impact of any disclosed repositioning items. B. Normalized Common Equity is calculated as the two period average of (a) shareholder equity minus (b) the book value of preferred stock outstanding minus (c) goodwill and other intangibles minus (d) remaining original issue bond discount minus (e) remaining net deferred tax asset. 4) Adjusted Efficiency ratio is equal to (A) total noninterest expense less (i) Insurance operating segment related expenses, (ii) mortgage repurchase expense and (iii) expense related to repositioning items divided by (B) total net revenue less (i) Insurance operating segment related revenue, (ii) OID amortization expense and (iii) any revenue related to repositioning items. 5) Adjusted Earnings per Share is a non-GAAP financial measure. It is defined as (A) Core pretax income, excluding repositioning items less (i) Adjusted Income Tax Expense less (ii) Preferred Dividends (excluding Series G discount) divided by (B) Weighted-average Shares Outstanding (diluted). 6) Adjusted Tangible Book Value per Share is a non-GAAP financial measure. It is defined as (A) GAAP shareholder’s equity less (i) preferred equity and goodwill less (ii) tax-effected bond OID less (iii) Series G discount divided by (B) Issued shares outstanding (period-end). 7) Pretax Return on Assets (“ROA”) represents pretax earnings from Annual Reports on Form 10-K from 1977 to 1994 and pretax earnings from Annual Reports on Form 10-K from 1995 to 2015 for Ally’s Dealer Financial Services businesses, which include Ally’s North American automotive lending operations and automotive Insurance operations, divided by the two-period average total assets from Annual Reports on Form 10-K from 1977 to 1994 and from Annual Reports on Form 10-K from 1995 to 2015 for Ally’s Dealer Financial Services businesses.
