NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of PresentationThe condensed consolidated financial statements include our accounts and the accounts of our consolidated subsidiaries, including certain special purpose entities (SPEs) utilized in secured financing transactions, which are considered variable interest entities (VIEs). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, are condensed and do not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the U.S. 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 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on February 6, 2019 (2018 Form 10–K). Except as otherwise specified, dollar amounts presented within tables are stated in millions.

The condensed consolidated financial statements at September 30, 2019, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, 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. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2018 was derived from audited annual financial statements.

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: North America (the North America Segment) and International (the International Segment). Our North America Segment includes operations in the U.S. and Canada. Our International Segment includes operations in Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico and Peru, as well as our equity investments in joint ventures in China.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards Effective January 1, 2019, we adopted ASU 2016-02, "Leases" (ASU 2016-02) using the optional transition method, resulting in the recognition of right of use assets of $129 million, included in other assets, and lease obligations of $144 million, included in other liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheet related to our existing operating leases at January 1, 2019. We elected to apply the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance in the new standard, which allowed us to carry forward our historical lease classification. The accounting for finance leases and leases where we are lessor remained substantially unchanged. The application of ASU 2016-02 had no impact on our condensed consolidated statement of income or condensed consolidated statement of cash flows.

The following table summarizes our minimum commitments under noncancelable operating leases having initial terms in excess of one year at December 31, 2018:

	Years Ending December 31,
	2019		2020		2021		2022		2023		Thereafter		Total
Minimum commitments	$	27	$	26	$	25	$	23	$	19	$	47	$	167

Refer to Note 9 for information on our operating leases at September 30, 2019.

As lessor, we have investments in leased vehicles recorded as operating leases. Leased vehicles consist of automobiles leased to customers and are carried at amortized cost less unearned manufacturer subvention payments, which are received up front. Depreciation expense is recorded on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease agreement to the estimated residual value. Manufacturer subvention is earned on a straight-line basis as a reduction to depreciation expense.

Generally, the lessee may purchase the leased vehicle at the maturity of the lease by paying the purchase price stated in the lease agreement, which equals the contract residual value determined at origination of the lease, plus any fees and all other amounts owed under the lease. If the lessee decides not to purchase the leased vehicle, the lessee must return it to a dealer by the lease's scheduled lease maturity date. Extensions may be granted to the lessee for up to six months. If the lessee extends the maturity date on their lease agreement, the lessee is responsible for additional monthly payments until the leased vehicle is returned or purchased. Since the lessee is not obligated to purchase the vehicle at the end of the contract, we are exposed to a risk of loss to the extent the customer returns the vehicle prior to or at the end of the lease term and the value of the vehicle is lower than the residual value estimated at inception of the lease.

We estimate the expected residual value based on third-party data which considers various data points and assumptions including recent auction values, the expected future volume of returning leased vehicles, used vehicle prices, manufacturer incentive programs and fuel prices. Changes in the expected residual value result in increased or decreased depreciation of the leased asset

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)

over the remaining term of the lease. Upon disposition, a gain or loss is recorded for any difference between the carrying amount of the lease and the proceeds from the disposition of the asset, including any insurance proceeds. Under the accounting for impairment or disposal of long-lived assets, vehicles on operating leases are evaluated by asset group for impairment. We aggregate leased vehicles into asset groups based on make, year and model. When asset group indicators of impairment exist and aggregate future cash flows from the operating lease, including the expected realizable fair value of the leased assets at the end of the lease, are less than the carrying amount of the lease asset group, an immediate impairment write-down is recognized if the difference is deemed not recoverable.

Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2016-13, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments" (ASU 2016-13), which requires entities to use a new impairment model based on current expected credit losses (CECL) rather than incurred losses. We plan to adopt ASU 2016-13 on January 1, 2020 on a modified retrospective basis.

Estimated credit losses under CECL will consider relevant information about past events, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectibility of the reported amount, resulting in recognition of lifetime expected credit losses upon loan origination. We are currently validating and refining our risk forecasting models, assumption review processes, corporate governance controls and accounting and financial reporting for our implementation of ASU 2016-13. Upon adoption, we expect to record an adjustment that will increase our allowance for credit losses between $700 million and $900 million, with an after-tax reduction to retained earnings between $500 million and $700 million. The amount of the adjustment is heavily dependent on the volume, credit mix and seasoning of our loan portfolio.

Note 2. 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 cash payments to us to cover interest payments on certain commercial loans.

We purchase certain program vehicles from GM subsidiaries. We simultaneously lease these vehicles to those subsidiaries for use primarily in their vehicle-sharing arrangements. We account for these leases as direct-finance leases, sales-type leases or loans depending on the origin of the asset, all of which are included in our finance receivables, net.

We periodically purchase finance receivables from other GM subsidiaries for vehicles sold to rental car companies and for vehicles sold to certain dealerships. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, we purchased $689 million and $371 million of these receivables from GM, which are included in our finance receivables, net.

We have related party payables due to GM, primarily for commercial finance receivables originated but not yet funded.

(a) Included in finance receivables, net.

(b) Included in related party receivables. We received subvention payments from GM of $1.0 billion and $1.1 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 and $3.1 billion and $2.8 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018.

(c) Included in related party payables.

(d) Included in finance charge income.

(e) Included as a reduction to leased vehicle expenses.

Under the 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. GM also agrees to certain provisions in the Support Agreement intended to ensure that we maintain adequate access to liquidity. Pursuant to these provisions, GM provides us with a $1.0 billion junior subordinated unsecured intercompany revolving credit facility (the Junior Subordinated Revolving Credit Facility), and GM agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that we will continue to be designated as a subsidiary borrower under GM's corporate revolving credit facilities.

In April 2019, GM renewed the 364-day, $2.0 billion facility (the GM Revolving 364-Day Credit Facility) for an additional 364-day term. This facility has been allocated for exclusive access by us since April 2018. At September 30, 2019, we had no amounts borrowed under any of the GM facilities.

We are included in GM's consolidated U.S. federal income tax returns and certain U.S. state returns, and we are obligated to pay GM for our share of these tax liabilities. Amounts owed to GM for income taxes are accrued and recorded as a related party payable. At September 30, 2019, we had a related party taxes payable of $4 million. At December 31, 2018, we had no related party taxes payable.

Retail Credit QualityOur retail finance receivables portfolio includes loans made to consumers and businesses to finance the purchase of vehicles for personal and commercial use. 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:

	September 30, 2019				September 30, 2018
	Amount		Percent of Contractual Amount Due		Amount		Percent of Contractual Amount Due
31 - 60 days	$	1,252	3.0	%	$	1,302	3.4	%
Greater than 60 days	514		1.2		498		1.3
Total finance receivables more than 30 days delinquent	1,766		4.2		1,800		4.7
In repossession	48		0.1		53		0.2
Total finance receivables more than 30 days delinquent or in repossession	$	1,814	4.3	%	$	1,853	4.9	%

At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the accrual of finance charge income had been suspended on retail finance receivables with contractual amounts due of $853 million and $888 million.

Impaired Retail Finance Receivables - TDRsRetail 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.

The outstanding recorded investment for retail finance receivables that are considered to be TDRs and the related allowance is presented below:

	September 30, 2019			December 31, 2018
Outstanding recorded investment	$	2,390		$	2,348
Less: allowance for loan losses	(337		)	(321		)
Outstanding recorded investment, net of allowance	$	2,053		$	2,027
Unpaid principal balance	$	2,416		$	2,379

Additional information about loans classified as TDRs is presented below:

	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2019		2018		2019		2018
Average outstanding recorded investment	$	2,372	$	2,293	$	2,369	$	2,268
Finance charge income recognized	$	60	$	59	$	191	$	185
Number of loans classified as TDRs during the period	19,074		17,924		53,013		51,020
Recorded investment of loans classified as TDRs during the period	$	343	$	319	$	969	$	932

The unpaid principal balance, net of recoveries, of loans charged off during the reporting period within 12 months of being modified as a TDR was insignificant for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018.

Commercial Credit QualityOur commercial finance receivables consist of dealer financings, primarily for inventory purchases. Proprietary models are 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 following table summarizes the credit risk profile by dealer risk rating of commercial finance receivables:

			September 30, 2019				December 31, 2018
			Amount		Percent		Amount		Percent
Group I	-	Dealers with superior financial metrics	$	1,924	14.5	%	$	2,192	17.2	%

At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, substantially all of our commercial finance receivables were current with respect to payment status. Commercial finance receivables on non-accrual status were insignificant, and none were classified as TDRs. Activity in the allowance for commercial loan losses was insignificant for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018.

Note 5. Equity in Net Assets of Non-consolidated Affiliates

We use the equity method to account for our equity interest in joint ventures. The income of these joint ventures is not consolidated into our financial statements; rather, our proportionate share of the earnings is reflected as equity income.

There have been no significant ownership changes in our joint ventures since December 31, 2018. The following table presents certain aggregated operating data of our joint ventures:

	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,

At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we had undistributed earnings of $575 million and $498 million related to our non-consolidated affiliates. During the three months ended September 30, 2019, SAIC-GMAC Automotive Finance Company Limited (SAIC-GMAC) declared a $140 million cash dividend of which our share was $49 million. We expect to receive the dividend payment in the fourth quarter of 2019.

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 7 for further discussion.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we entered into new or renewed credit facilities with a total net additional borrowing capacity of $225 million, and we issued $14.2 billion in aggregate principal amount of securitization notes payable with an initial weighted average interest rate of 2.83% and legal final maturity dates ranging from 2022 to 2026.

Unsecured DebtDuring the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we issued $6.5 billion in aggregate principal amount of senior notes with an initial weighted average interest rate of 3.65% and maturity dates ranging from 2021 to 2029.

The principal amount outstanding of our commercial paper in the U.S. was $1.0 billion and $1.2 billion at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

General Motors Financial Company, Inc. is the sole guarantor of its subsidiaries' unsecured debt obligations for which a guarantee is provided.

Compliance with Debt CovenantsSeveral 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 debt obligations contain covenants including limitations on our ability to incur certain liens. At September 30, 2019, 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 other subsidiaries' obligations.

Note 8. Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities

We are exposed to certain risks arising from both our business operations and economic conditions. We manage economic risks, including interest rate risk, primarily by managing the amount, sources, and duration of our assets and liabilities and the use of derivative financial instruments. Specifically, we enter into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the receipt or payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the value of which are determined by interest rates. Our derivative financial instruments are used to manage differences in the amount, timing, and duration of our known or expected cash receipts and our known or expected cash payments principally related to our borrowings.

Certain of our foreign operations expose us to fluctuations of foreign interest rates and exchange rates. We primarily finance our earning assets with debt in the same currency to minimize the impact to earnings from our exposure to fluctuations in exchange rates. When we use a different currency, these fluctuations may impact the value of our cash receipts and payments in terms of our functional currency. We enter into derivative financial instruments to protect the value or fix the amount of certain assets and liabilities in terms of the relevant functional currency. The table below presents the gross amounts of fair value of our derivative instruments and the associated notional amounts:

	September 30, 2019						December 31, 2018

_________________

(a) The gross amounts of the fair value of our assets and liabilities are included in other assets and other liabilities, respectively. Amounts accrued for interest payments in a net receivable position are included in other assets. Amounts accrued for interest payments in a net payable position are included in other liabilities. All our derivatives are categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. 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.

(b) We primarily enter into derivative instruments through AmeriCredit Financial Services, Inc. (AFSI); however, our SPEs may also be parties to derivative instruments. Agreements between AFSI and its derivative counterparties include rights of setoff for positions with offsetting values or for collateral held or posted. At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the fair value of assets and liabilities available for offset was $383 million and $320 million. At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we held $258 million and $30 million of collateral from counterparties which is available for netting against our asset positions. At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we posted $129 million and $451 million of collateral to counterparties which is available for netting against our liability positions.

The following amounts were recorded in the condensed consolidated balance sheet related to items designated and qualifying as hedged items in fair value hedging relationships:

Note 9. Commitments and Contingencies

Operating LeasesOur lease obligations consist primarily of real estate office space. Certain leases contain escalation clauses and renewal options, and generally our leases have no residual value guarantees or material covenants. We exclude from our balance sheet leases with a term equal to one year or less and do not separate non-lease components from our real estate leases. Rent expense under operating leases was $10 million and $28 million for the three and ninemonths endedSeptember 30, 2019. Variable lease costs were insignificant for the three and ninemonths endedSeptember 30, 2019. At September 30, 2019, operating lease right of use assets, included in other assets, were $135 million and operating lease liabilities, included in other liabilities, were $157 million. Operating lease right of use assets obtained in exchange for lease obligations were $30 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2019. At September 30, 2019, our undiscounted future lease obligations related to operating leases having initial terms in excess of one year were $7 million for the three months ending December 31, 2019 and $27 million, $26 million, $24 million, $20 million and $83 million for the years 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 and thereafter, with imputed interest of $30 million at September 30, 2019. The weighted average discount rate was 4.5% and the weighted average remaining lease term was 8.0 years at September 30, 2019. Lease agreements that have not yet commenced were insignificant at September 30, 2019.

Guarantees of Indebtedness At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we guaranteed $1.1 billion in aggregate principal amount of Euro Medium Term Notes issued by General Motors Financial International B.V., our former subsidiary, pursuant to our Euro Medium Term Note Programme. Subject to the terms and conditions of a letter agreement with BNP Paribas in connection with the sale of certain of our European operations, BNP Paribas will reimburse us for any amount that we may pay under any such guarantees.

Legal ProceedingsWe are subject to various pending and potential legal and regulatory proceedings in the ordinary course of business, including litigation, arbitration, claims, investigations, examinations, subpoenas and enforcement proceedings. Some litigation against us could take the form of class actions. The outcome of these proceedings is inherently uncertain, and thus we cannot confidently predict how or when proceedings will be resolved. An adverse outcome in one or more of these proceedings

15

GENERAL MOTORS FINANCIAL COMPANY, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)

could result in substantial damages, settlements, fines, penalties, diminished income or reputational harm. We identify below the material proceedings in connection with which we believe a material loss is reasonably possible or probable.

In accordance with the current accounting standards for loss contingencies, we establish reserves for legal matters when it is probable that a loss associated with the matter has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. The actual costs of resolving legal matters may be higher or lower than any amounts reserved for these matters. At September 30, 2019, we estimated our reasonably possible legal exposure for unfavorable outcomes is up to $55 million, and we have accrued $19 million.

In 2014 and 2015, we were served with investigative subpoenas from various state attorneys general and other governmental offices to produce documents and data relating to our automobile loan and lease business and securitization of loans and leases. We believe that we have cooperated fully with all reasonable requests for information. We are currently unable to estimate any reasonably possible loss or range of loss that may result from these investigations.

Other Administrative Tax MattersWe 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 $11 million at September 30, 2019.

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 September 30, 2019 and 2018, income tax expense of $195 million and $57 million primarily resulted from tax expense attributable to entities included in our effective tax rate calculation. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, income tax expense of $416 million and $225 million primarily resulted from tax expense attributable to entities included in our effective tax rate calculation. The increase in income tax expense for the three and ninemonths endedSeptember 30, 2019 is primarily due to a reduction in our electric vehicle tax credit in 2019 and a favorable impact from the U.S. tax reform in 2018.

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. 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 $7.2 billion and $7.9 billion at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Forward-looking statements in this Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (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 2018 Form 10-K for a discussion of these risks and uncertainties.

Basis of Presentation

This MD&A should be read in conjunction with the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto and the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our 2018 Form 10-K.

Except as otherwise specified, dollar amounts presented within tables are stated in millions. Average balances are calculated using daily balances, where available. Otherwise, average balances are calculated using monthly balances.

Results of Operations

Income before income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 increased to $1.6 billion from $1.5 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 primarily due to the following:

• Retail finance charge income increased$237 million primarily due to an increase in the average balance of the consumer finance receivables portfolio, partially offset by a decrease in effective yield as the portfolio shifts to lower yielding prime loan assets.

• Commercial finance charge income increased$134 million due to an increase in the average balance of the commercial finance receivables portfolio as well as increased interest rates on the portfolio.

• Leased vehicle income net of leased vehicle expenses increased$214 million primarily due to increased gains on terminated leases. Gains per unit on terminated leases decreased; however, lease terminations increased105 thousand units, which resulted in an overall increase in lease termination gains.

• Provision expense increased $60 million primarily due to the growth of the finance receivables portfolio in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and a decrease in the loss confirmation period recorded in the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

• Interest expense increased$405 million with $231 million of the increase due to an increase in the average balance of debt outstanding, and $174 million of the increase due to an increase in the effective rate of interest on debt.

Return on average common equity is widely used to measure earnings in relation to invested capital. Our return on average common equity decreased to 13.4% for the four quarters ended September 30, 2019 from 16.9% for the four quarters ended September 30, 2018 primarily due to a higher effective tax rate.

We use return on average tangible common equity (a non-GAAP measure) to measure our contribution to GM's enterprise profitability and cash flow. Our return on average tangible common equity decreased to 15.1% for the four quarters ended September 30, 2019 from 19.3% for the four quarters ended September 30, 2018 primarily due to a higher effective tax rate.

The following table presents our reconciliation of return on average tangible common equity to return on average common equity, the most directly comparable GAAP measure:

	Four Quarters Ended
	September 30, 2019			September 30, 2018
Net income attributable to common shareholder	$	1,418		$	1,389
Plus: loss from discontinued operations, net of tax	—			255
Net income from continuing operations attributable to common shareholder	$	1,418		$	1,644
Average equity	$	12,070		$	10,748
Less: average preferred equity	(1,476		)	(1,023		)
Average common equity	10,594			9,725
Less: average goodwill	(1,187		)	(1,195		)
Average tangible common equity	$	9,407		$	8,530
Return on average common equity	13.4		%	16.9		%
Return on average tangible common equity	15.1		%	19.3		%

Our calculation of this non-GAAP measure may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies due to potential differences between companies in the method of calculation. As a result, the use of this non-GAAP measure has limitations and should not be considered superior to, in isolation from, or as a substitute for, related U.S. GAAP measures. This non-GAAP measure allows investors the opportunity to measure and monitor our performance against our externally communicated targets and evaluate the investment decisions being made by management to improve our return on average tangible common equity. Management uses this measure in its financial, investment and operational decision-making processes, for internal reporting and as part of its forecasting and budgeting processes. For these reasons we believe this non-GAAP measure is useful for our investors.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2019 compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2018

Leased vehicles purchased	$	5,843	$	5,432	$	411		7.6	%

Average retail finance receivables increased due to a higher volume of new loan originations resulting from increased penetration of GM's retail sales in prior periods. Our penetration of GM's retail sales in the U.S. decreased to 36.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2019 from 50.0% for three months ended September 30, 2018. Penetration levels vary depending on incentive financing programs available and competing third-party financing products in the market. Average commercial finance receivables increased primarily due to an increase in our GM-franchised dealer commercial lending relationships.

Effective yield - retail finance receivables	8.1		%	8.4		%
Effective yield - commercial finance receivables	5.5		%	5.3		%

Finance charge income on retail finance receivables increased due to growth in the portfolio, partially offset by a decrease in effective yield. The effective yield on our retail finance receivables decreased primarily due to increased lending to borrowers with prime credit. The effective yield represents finance charges, rate subvention and fees recorded in earnings during the period as a percentage of average retail finance receivables.

Finance charge income on commercial finance receivables increased due to growth in the portfolio, including an increase in the number of dealers in our floorplan program, and an increase in the effective yield resulting from rising short-term benchmark interest rates.

Costs and Expenses	Three Months Ended September 30,						2019 vs. 2018
	2019			2018			Amount			Percentage

Operating Expenses Operating expenses as an annualized percentage of average earning assets was 1.6% for both the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018.

Provision for Loan Losses As an annualized percentage of average retail finance receivables, the provision for retail loan losses decreased to 1.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2019 from 1.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2018, primarily due to an increase in our recovery rate forecast on repossessed vehicles that we recorded in the three months ended September 30, 2019.

Interest Expense Interest expense increased due to an increase in the average debt outstanding resulting from growth in earning assets.

Taxes Our consolidated effective income tax rate was 29.0% and 12.6% of income before income taxes and equity income for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018. The increase in the effective income tax rate is primarily due to a reduction in our electric vehicle tax credit in 2019 and a favorable impact from the U.S. tax reform in 2018.

Other Comprehensive Loss

Foreign Currency Translation Adjustment Foreign currency translation adjustments included in other comprehensive loss were $164 million and $35 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018. Translation adjustments resulted from changes in the values of our international currency-denominated assets and liabilities as the value of the U.S. Dollar changed in relation to international currencies. The foreign currency translation loss for the three months ended September 30, 2019 was primarily due to changes in the value of the Brazilian Real and the Chinese Yuan Renminbi. The foreign currency translation loss for the three months ended September 30, 2018 was primarily due to changes in the value of the Chinese Yuan Renminbi, the Mexican Peso, the Brazilian Real and the Canadian Dollar.

Average retail finance receivables increased due to a higher volume of new loan originations in excess of principal collections and payoffs. Our penetration of GM's retail sales in the U.S. decreased to 45.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 from 46.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. Penetration levels vary depending on incentive financing programs available and competing third-party financing products in the market.

Finance charge income on retail finance receivables increased due to growth in the portfolio, partially offset by a decrease in effective yield. The effective yield on our retail finance receivables decreased primarily due to increased lending to borrowers with prime credit. The effective yield represents finance charges, rate subvention and fees recorded in earnings during the period as a percentage of average retail finance receivables.

Finance charge income on commercial finance receivables increased due to growth in the portfolio, including an increase in the number of dealers in our floorplan program, and an increase in the effective yield resulting from rising benchmark interest rates.

Other income increased primarily due to an increase in investment income due to higher short-term interest rates.

Provision for Loan Losses As an annualized percentage of average retail finance receivables, the provision for retail loan losses decreased to 1.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 from 1.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, primarily due to a shift in the credit mix of the portfolio to a larger percentage of prime loans.

Interest Expense Interest expense increased due to an increase in the average debt outstanding resulting from growth in earning assets as well as a higher effective rate of interest on our debt.

Taxes Our consolidated effective income tax rate was 28.1% and 16.8% of income before income taxes and equity income for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018. The increase in the effective income tax rate is primarily due to a reduction in our electric vehicle tax credit in 2019 and a favorable impact from the U.S. tax reform in 2018.

Other Comprehensive Loss

Foreign Currency Translation Adjustment Foreign currency translation adjustments included in other comprehensive loss were $99 million and $221 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018. Translation adjustments resulted from changes in the values of our international currency-denominated assets and liabilities as the value of the U.S. Dollar changed in relation to international currencies. The foreign currency translation losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 were primarily due to changes in the value of the Chinese Yuan Renminbi, the Brazilian Real and the Canadian Dollar.

Net charge-offs as an annualized percentage of average retail finance receivables	1.6		%	1.7		%	1.5		%	1.8		%

Net charge-offs as an annualized percentage of average retail finance receivables decreased during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 from the corresponding period in 2018, primarily due to the shift in the portfolio toward prime credit quality.

Commercial Finance Receivables	September 30, 2019			December 31, 2018

Average carrying amount per dealer	$	7		$	7
Allowance for loan losses as a percentage of commercial finance receivables, net of fees	0.6		%	0.5		%

There were insignificant charge-offs of commercial finance receivables during the three and ninemonths endedSeptember 30, 2019 and 2018. At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, substantially all of our commercial finance receivables were current with respect to payment status and none were classified as TDRs.

Leased VehiclesAt September 30, 2019 and 2018, 99.1% and 98.8% of our operating leases were current with respect to payment status.

The following table summarizes the residual value and the number of units included in leased vehicles, net by vehicle type (units in thousands):

	September 30, 2019					December 31, 2018
	Residual Value		Units	Percentage of Units		Residual Value		Units	Percentage of Units
Crossovers	$	16,079	971	59.3	%	$	15,057	917	53.8	%

Total	$	30,891	1,638	100.0	%	$	31,400	1,703	100.0	%

Used vehicle prices for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 decreased slightly compared to the same period in 2018. We expect used vehicle prices to decrease approximately 3% for the full year 2019 compared to 2018, primarily due to increases in the industry supply of used vehicles as well as increases in our volume of lease terminations.

The following table summarizes additional information for operating leases (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2019		2018		2019		2018
Operating leases originated	147		141		433		450
Operating leases terminated	177		130		498		393
Operating lease vehicles returned(a)	128		83		370		269
Percentage of lease vehicles returned(b)	72	%	64	%	74	%	68	%

________________ 

(a) Represents the number of vehicles returned to us for remarketing.

(b) 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 maturity of the leased asset portfolio. The return rate can fluctuate based upon the level of used vehicle pricing compared to residual values at lease inception and growth and age of the lease portfolio.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

GeneralOur primary sources of cash are finance charge income, leasing income and proceeds from the sale of terminated leased vehicles, net distributions from credit facilities, 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, interest costs and operating expenses.

Typically, our purchase and funding of retail and commercial finance receivables and leased vehicles are financed initially by 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, 2019, net cash provided by operating activities increased primarily due to a decrease in net collateral posted for derivative positions of $1.0 billion as a result of favorable changes in interest rates on our collateralized derivative portfolio.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, net cash used in investing activities decreased primarily due to increased collections and recoveries on retail finance receivables of $5.7 billion, an increase in proceeds received on terminated leases of $1.9 billion, a decrease in purchases of leased vehicles of $0.6 billion, and a decrease in funding of commercial finance receivables of $0.3 billion, partially offset by an increase in purchases of retail finance receivables of $2.1 billion.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, net cash used in financing activities increased primarily due to an increase in debt payments, net of new borrowings of $8.8 billion and a decrease in the issuance of preferred stock of $0.5 billion.

(a) Includes $354 million and $503 million in unrestricted cash outside of the U.S. at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. This cash is considered to be indefinitely invested based on specific plans for reinvestment of these earnings.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, available liquidity increased primarily due to an increase in borrowing capacity on new and renewed secured revolving credit facilities, resulting from the issuance of securitizations and unsecured debt.

The Support Agreement provides that GM will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that we will continue to be designated as a subsidiary borrower under GM's unsecured revolving credit facilities. In April 2019, GM renewed the GM Revolving 364-Day Credit Facility for an additional 364-day term. This facility has been allocated for exclusive access by us since April 2018. At September 30, 2019, we had no borrowings outstanding under any of these facilities.

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 SEC, including our 2018 Form 10-K. 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;

• changes in the automotive industry that result in a change in demand for vehicles and related vehicle financing;

• the sufficiency, availability and cost of sources of financing, including credit facilities, securitization programs and secured and unsecured debt issuances;

• our joint ventures in China, which we cannot operate solely for our benefit and over which we have limited control;

• the adequacy of our underwriting criteria for loans and leases and the level of net charge-offs, delinquencies and prepayments on the loans and leases we purchase or originate;

• the adequacy of our allowance for loan losses on our finance receivables;

• the effect, interpretation or application of new or existing laws, regulations, court decisions and accounting pronouncements;

• adverse determinations with respect to the application of existing laws, or the results of any audits from tax authorities, as well as changes in tax laws and regulations, supervision, enforcement and licensing across various jurisdictions;

• the prices at which used vehicles are sold in the wholesale auction markets;

• vehicle return rates, our ability to estimate residual value at the inception of a lease and the residual value performance on vehicles we lease;

• interest rate fluctuations and certain related derivatives exposure;

• foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations and other risks applicable to our operations outside of the U.S.;

• changes to the LIBOR calculation process and potential phasing out of LIBOR;

• our ability to effectively manage capital or liquidity consistent with evolving business or operational needs, risk management standards and regulatory or supervisory requirements;

• changes in local, regional, national or international economic, social or political conditions;

• our ability to maintain and expand our market share due to competition in the automotive finance industry from a large number of banks, credit unions, independent finance companies and other captive automotive finance subsidiaries;

• our ability to secure private customer and employee data or our proprietary information, manage risks related to security breaches and other disruptions to our networks and systems and comply with enterprise data regulations in all key market regions; and

• changes in business strategy, including expansion of product lines and credit risk appetite, acquisitions and divestitures.

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.

Related Party Transactions [Abstract]

Related Party Transactions

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 cash payments to us to cover interest payments on certain commercial loans.

We purchase certain program vehicles from GM subsidiaries. We simultaneously lease these vehicles to those subsidiaries for use primarily in their vehicle-sharing arrangements. We account for these leases as direct-finance leases, sales-type leases or loans depending on the origin of the asset, all of which are included in our finance receivables, net.

We periodically purchase finance receivables from other GM subsidiaries for vehicles sold to rental car companies and for vehicles sold to certain dealerships. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, we purchased $689 million and $371 million of these receivables from GM, which are included in our finance receivables, net.

We have related party payables due to GM, primarily for commercial finance receivables originated but not yet funded.

The following tables present related party transactions:

_________________

(a) Included in finance receivables, net.

(b) Included in related party receivables. We received subvention payments from GM of $1.0 billion and $1.1 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 and $3.1 billion and $2.8 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018.

(c) Included in related party payables.

(d) Included in finance charge income.

(e) Included as a reduction to leased vehicle expenses.

Under the 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. GM also agrees to certain provisions in the Support Agreement intended to ensure that we maintain adequate access to liquidity. Pursuant to these provisions, GM provides us with a $1.0 billion junior subordinated unsecured intercompany revolving credit facility (the Junior Subordinated Revolving Credit Facility), and GM agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that we will continue to be designated as a subsidiary borrower under GM's corporate revolving credit facilities.

In April 2019, GM renewed the 364-day, $2.0 billion facility (the GM Revolving 364-Day Credit Facility) for an additional 364-day term. This facility has been allocated for exclusive access by us since April 2018. At September 30, 2019, we had no amounts borrowed under any of the GM facilities.

We are included in GM's consolidated U.S. federal income tax returns and certain U.S. state returns, and we are obligated to pay GM for our share of these tax liabilities. Amounts owed to GM for income taxes are accrued and recorded as a related party payable. At September 30, 2019, we had a related party taxes payable of $4 million. At December 31, 2018, we had no related party taxes payable.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation

Basis of PresentationThe condensed consolidated financial statements include our accounts and the accounts of our consolidated subsidiaries, including certain special purpose entities (SPEs) utilized in secured financing transactions, which are considered variable interest entities (VIEs). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, are condensed and do not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the U.S. 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 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on February 6, 2019 (2018 Form 10–K). Except as otherwise specified, dollar amounts presented within tables are stated in millions.

The condensed consolidated financial statements at September 30, 2019, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, 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. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2018 was derived from audited annual financial statements.

Segment Information

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: North America (the North America Segment) and International (the International Segment). Our North America Segment includes operations in the U.S. and Canada. Our International Segment includes operations in Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico and Peru, as well as our equity investments in joint ventures in China.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards Effective January 1, 2019, we adopted ASU 2016-02, "Leases" (ASU 2016-02) using the optional transition method, resulting in the recognition of right of use assets of $129 million, included in other assets, and lease obligations of $144 million, included in other liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheet related to our existing operating leases at January 1, 2019. We elected to apply the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance in the new standard, which allowed us to carry forward our historical lease classification. The accounting for finance leases and leases where we are lessor remained substantially unchanged. The application of ASU 2016-02 had no impact on our condensed consolidated statement of income or condensed consolidated statement of cash flows.

The following table summarizes our minimum commitments under noncancelable operating leases having initial terms in excess of one year at December 31, 2018:

	Years Ending December 31,
	2019		2020		2021		2022		2023		Thereafter		Total
Minimum commitments	$	27	$	26	$	25	$	23	$	19	$	47	$	167

Refer to Note 9 for information on our operating leases at September 30, 2019.

As lessor, we have investments in leased vehicles recorded as operating leases. Leased vehicles consist of automobiles leased to customers and are carried at amortized cost less unearned manufacturer subvention payments, which are received up front. Depreciation expense is recorded on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease agreement to the estimated residual value. Manufacturer subvention is earned on a straight-line basis as a reduction to depreciation expense.

Generally, the lessee may purchase the leased vehicle at the maturity of the lease by paying the purchase price stated in the lease agreement, which equals the contract residual value determined at origination of the lease, plus any fees and all other amounts owed under the lease. If the lessee decides not to purchase the leased vehicle, the lessee must return it to a dealer by the lease's scheduled lease maturity date. Extensions may be granted to the lessee for up to six months. If the lessee extends the maturity date on their lease agreement, the lessee is responsible for additional monthly payments until the leased vehicle is returned or purchased. Since the lessee is not obligated to purchase the vehicle at the end of the contract, we are exposed to a risk of loss to the extent the customer returns the vehicle prior to or at the end of the lease term and the value of the vehicle is lower than the residual value estimated at inception of the lease.

We estimate the expected residual value based on third-party data which considers various data points and assumptions including recent auction values, the expected future volume of returning leased vehicles, used vehicle prices, manufacturer incentive programs and fuel prices. Changes in the expected residual value result in increased or decreased depreciation of the leased asset over the remaining term of the lease. Upon disposition, a gain or loss is recorded for any difference between the carrying amount of the lease and the proceeds from the disposition of the asset, including any insurance proceeds. Under the accounting for impairment or disposal of long-lived assets, vehicles on operating leases are evaluated by asset group for impairment. We aggregate leased vehicles into asset groups based on make, year and model. When asset group indicators of impairment exist and aggregate future cash flows from the operating lease, including the expected realizable fair value of the leased assets at the end of the lease, are less than the carrying amount of the lease asset group, an immediate impairment write-down is recognized if the difference is deemed not recoverable.

Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2016-13, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments" (ASU 2016-13), which requires entities to use a new impairment model based on current expected credit losses (CECL) rather than incurred losses. We plan to adopt ASU 2016-13 on January 1, 2020 on a modified retrospective basis.

Estimated credit losses under CECL will consider relevant information about past events, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectibility of the reported amount, resulting in recognition of lifetime expected credit losses upon loan origination. We are currently validating and refining our risk forecasting models, assumption review processes, corporate governance controls and accounting and financial reporting for our implementation of ASU 2016-13. Upon adoption, we expect to record an adjustment that will increase our allowance for credit losses between $700 million and $900 million, with an after-tax reduction to retained earnings between $500 million and $700 million. The amount of the adjustment is heavily dependent on the volume, credit mix and seasoning of our loan portfolio.

_______________

(a) Included in other assets.

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.

Retail Credit QualityOur retail finance receivables portfolio includes loans made to consumers and businesses to finance the purchase of vehicles for personal and commercial use. 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:

	September 30, 2019				September 30, 2018
	Amount		Percent of Contractual Amount Due		Amount		Percent of Contractual Amount Due
31 - 60 days	$	1,252	3.0	%	$	1,302	3.4	%
Greater than 60 days	514		1.2		498		1.3
Total finance receivables more than 30 days delinquent	1,766		4.2		1,800		4.7
In repossession	48		0.1		53		0.2
Total finance receivables more than 30 days delinquent or in repossession	$	1,814	4.3	%	$	1,853	4.9	%

At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the accrual of finance charge income had been suspended on retail finance receivables with contractual amounts due of $853 million and $888 million.

Impaired Retail Finance Receivables - TDRsRetail 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.

The outstanding recorded investment for retail finance receivables that are considered to be TDRs and the related allowance is presented below:

	September 30, 2019			December 31, 2018
Outstanding recorded investment	$	2,390		$	2,348
Less: allowance for loan losses	(337		)	(321		)
Outstanding recorded investment, net of allowance	$	2,053		$	2,027
Unpaid principal balance	$	2,416		$	2,379

Additional information about loans classified as TDRs is presented below:

	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2019		2018		2019		2018
Average outstanding recorded investment	$	2,372	$	2,293	$	2,369	$	2,268
Finance charge income recognized	$	60	$	59	$	191	$	185
Number of loans classified as TDRs during the period	19,074		17,924		53,013		51,020
Recorded investment of loans classified as TDRs during the period	$	343	$	319	$	969	$	932

The unpaid principal balance, net of recoveries, of loans charged off during the reporting period within 12 months of being modified as a TDR was insignificant for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018.

Commercial Credit QualityOur commercial finance receivables consist of dealer financings, primarily for inventory purchases. Proprietary models are 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 following table summarizes the credit risk profile by dealer risk rating of commercial finance receivables:

			September 30, 2019				December 31, 2018
			Amount		Percent		Amount		Percent
Group I	-	Dealers with superior financial metrics	$	1,924	14.5	%	$	2,192	17.2	%
Group II	-	Dealers with strong financial metrics	5,398		40.6		4,500		35.4
Group III	-	Dealers with fair financial metrics	4,243		31.9		4,292		33.7
Group IV	-	Dealers with weak financial metrics	1,327		10.0		1,205		9.5
Group V	-	Dealers warranting special mention due to elevated risks	332		2.5		449		3.5
Group VI	-	Dealers with loans classified as substandard, doubtful or impaired	74		0.5		83		0.7
Balance at end of period			$	13,298	100.0	%	$	12,721	100.0	%

At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, substantially all of our commercial finance receivables were current with respect to payment status. Commercial finance receivables on non-accrual status were insignificant, and none were classified as TDRs. Activity in the allowance for commercial loan losses was insignificant for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]

Income Taxes

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 September 30, 2019 and 2018, income tax expense of $195 million and $57 million primarily resulted from tax expense attributable to entities included in our effective tax rate calculation. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, income tax expense of $416 million and $225 million primarily resulted from tax expense attributable to entities included in our effective tax rate calculation. The increase in income tax expense for the three and ninemonths endedSeptember 30, 2019 is primarily due to a reduction in our electric vehicle tax credit in 2019 and a favorable impact from the U.S. tax reform in 2018.

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.

Regulatory Capital and Other Regulatory Matters

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 $7.2 billion and $7.9 billion at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

(a) The gross amounts of the fair value of our assets and liabilities are included in other assets and other liabilities, respectively. Amounts accrued for interest payments in a net receivable position are included in other assets. Amounts accrued for interest payments in a net payable position are included in other liabilities. All our derivatives are categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. 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.

(b) We primarily enter into derivative instruments through AmeriCredit Financial Services, Inc. (AFSI); however, our SPEs may also be parties to derivative instruments. Agreements between AFSI and its derivative counterparties include rights of setoff for positions with offsetting values or for collateral held or posted. At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the fair value of assets and liabilities available for offset was $383 million and $320 million. At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we held $258 million and $30 million of collateral from counterparties which is available for netting against our asset positions. At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we posted $129 million and $451 million of collateral to counterparties which is available for netting against our liability positions.

Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]

Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments and Contingencies

Operating LeasesOur lease obligations consist primarily of real estate office space. Certain leases contain escalation clauses and renewal options, and generally our leases have no residual value guarantees or material covenants. We exclude from our balance sheet leases with a term equal to one year or less and do not separate non-lease components from our real estate leases. Rent expense under operating leases was $10 million and $28 million for the three and ninemonths endedSeptember 30, 2019. Variable lease costs were insignificant for the three and ninemonths endedSeptember 30, 2019. At September 30, 2019, operating lease right of use assets, included in other assets, were $135 million and operating lease liabilities, included in other liabilities, were $157 million. Operating lease right of use assets obtained in exchange for lease obligations were $30 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2019. At September 30, 2019, our undiscounted future lease obligations related to operating leases having initial terms in excess of one year were $7 million for the three months ending December 31, 2019 and $27 million, $26 million, $24 million, $20 million and $83 million for the years 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 and thereafter, with imputed interest of $30 million at September 30, 2019. The weighted average discount rate was 4.5% and the weighted average remaining lease term was 8.0 years at September 30, 2019. Lease agreements that have not yet commenced were insignificant at September 30, 2019.

Guarantees of Indebtedness At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we guaranteed $1.1 billion in aggregate principal amount of Euro Medium Term Notes issued by General Motors Financial International B.V., our former subsidiary, pursuant to our Euro Medium Term Note Programme. Subject to the terms and conditions of a letter agreement with BNP Paribas in connection with the sale of certain of our European operations, BNP Paribas will reimburse us for any amount that we may pay under any such guarantees.

Legal ProceedingsWe are subject to various pending and potential legal and regulatory proceedings in the ordinary course of business, including litigation, arbitration, claims, investigations, examinations, subpoenas and enforcement proceedings. Some litigation against us could take the form of class actions. The outcome of these proceedings is inherently uncertain, and thus we cannot confidently predict how or when proceedings will be resolved. An adverse outcome in one or more of these proceedings could result in substantial damages, settlements, fines, penalties, diminished income or reputational harm. We identify below the material proceedings in connection with which we believe a material loss is reasonably possible or probable.

In accordance with the current accounting standards for loss contingencies, we establish reserves for legal matters when it is probable that a loss associated with the matter has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. The actual costs of resolving legal matters may be higher or lower than any amounts reserved for these matters. At September 30, 2019, we estimated our reasonably possible legal exposure for unfavorable outcomes is up to $55 million, and we have accrued $19 million.

In 2014 and 2015, we were served with investigative subpoenas from various state attorneys general and other governmental offices to produce documents and data relating to our automobile loan and lease business and securitization of loans and leases. We believe that we have cooperated fully with all reasonable requests for information. We are currently unable to estimate any reasonably possible loss or range of loss that may result from these investigations.

Other Administrative Tax MattersWe 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 $11 million at September 30, 2019.

Equity in Net Assets of Non-consolidated Affiliates

We use the equity method to account for our equity interest in joint ventures. The income of these joint ventures is not consolidated into our financial statements; rather, our proportionate share of the earnings is reflected as equity income.

There have been no significant ownership changes in our joint ventures since December 31, 2018. The following table presents certain aggregated operating data of our joint ventures:

	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,

Net income	$	113	$	126	$	361	$	403

At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we had undistributed earnings of $575 million and $498 million related to our non-consolidated affiliates. During the three months ended September 30, 2019, SAIC-GMAC Automotive Finance Company Limited (SAIC-GMAC) declared a $140 million cash dividend of which our share was $49 million. We expect to receive the dividend payment in the fourth quarter of 2019.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of PresentationThe condensed consolidated financial statements include our accounts and the accounts of our consolidated subsidiaries, including certain special purpose entities (SPEs) utilized in secured financing transactions, which are considered variable interest entities (VIEs). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, are condensed and do not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the U.S. 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 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on February 6, 2019 (2018 Form 10–K). Except as otherwise specified, dollar amounts presented within tables are stated in millions.

The condensed consolidated financial statements at September 30, 2019, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, 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. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2018 was derived from audited annual financial statements.

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: North America (the North America Segment) and International (the International Segment). Our North America Segment includes operations in the U.S. and Canada. Our International Segment includes operations in Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico and Peru, as well as our equity investments in joint ventures in China.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards Effective January 1, 2019, we adopted ASU 2016-02, "Leases" (ASU 2016-02) using the optional transition method, resulting in the recognition of right of use assets of $129 million, included in other assets, and lease obligations of $144 million, included in other liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheet related to our existing operating leases at January 1, 2019. We elected to apply the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance in the new standard, which allowed us to carry forward our historical lease classification. The accounting for finance leases and leases where we are lessor remained substantially unchanged. The application of ASU 2016-02 had no impact on our condensed consolidated statement of income or condensed consolidated statement of cash flows.

The following table summarizes our minimum commitments under noncancelable operating leases having initial terms in excess of one year at December 31, 2018:

	Years Ending December 31,
	2019		2020		2021		2022		2023		Thereafter		Total
Minimum commitments	$	27	$	26	$	25	$	23	$	19	$	47	$	167

Refer to Note 9 for information on our operating leases at September 30, 2019.

As lessor, we have investments in leased vehicles recorded as operating leases. Leased vehicles consist of automobiles leased to customers and are carried at amortized cost less unearned manufacturer subvention payments, which are received up front. Depreciation expense is recorded on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease agreement to the estimated residual value. Manufacturer subvention is earned on a straight-line basis as a reduction to depreciation expense.

Generally, the lessee may purchase the leased vehicle at the maturity of the lease by paying the purchase price stated in the lease agreement, which equals the contract residual value determined at origination of the lease, plus any fees and all other amounts owed under the lease. If the lessee decides not to purchase the leased vehicle, the lessee must return it to a dealer by the lease's scheduled lease maturity date. Extensions may be granted to the lessee for up to six months. If the lessee extends the maturity date on their lease agreement, the lessee is responsible for additional monthly payments until the leased vehicle is returned or purchased. Since the lessee is not obligated to purchase the vehicle at the end of the contract, we are exposed to a risk of loss to the extent the customer returns the vehicle prior to or at the end of the lease term and the value of the vehicle is lower than the residual value estimated at inception of the lease.

We estimate the expected residual value based on third-party data which considers various data points and assumptions including recent auction values, the expected future volume of returning leased vehicles, used vehicle prices, manufacturer incentive programs and fuel prices. Changes in the expected residual value result in increased or decreased depreciation of the leased asset over the remaining term of the lease. Upon disposition, a gain or loss is recorded for any difference between the carrying amount of the lease and the proceeds from the disposition of the asset, including any insurance proceeds. Under the accounting for impairment or disposal of long-lived assets, vehicles on operating leases are evaluated by asset group for impairment. We aggregate leased vehicles into asset groups based on make, year and model. When asset group indicators of impairment exist and aggregate future cash flows from the operating lease, including the expected realizable fair value of the leased assets at the end of the lease, are less than the carrying amount of the lease asset group, an immediate impairment write-down is recognized if the difference is deemed not recoverable.

Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2016-13, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments" (ASU 2016-13), which requires entities to use a new impairment model based on current expected credit losses (CECL) rather than incurred losses. We plan to adopt ASU 2016-13 on January 1, 2020 on a modified retrospective basis.

Estimated credit losses under CECL will consider relevant information about past events, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectibility of the reported amount, resulting in recognition of lifetime expected credit losses upon loan origination. We are currently validating and refining our risk forecasting models, assumption review processes, corporate governance controls and accounting and financial reporting for our implementation of ASU 2016-13. Upon adoption, we expect to record an adjustment that will increase our allowance for credit losses between $700 million and $900 million, with an after-tax reduction to retained earnings between $500 million and $700 million. The amount of the adjustment is heavily dependent on the volume, credit mix and seasoning of our loan portfolio.

Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities

Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities

We are exposed to certain risks arising from both our business operations and economic conditions. We manage economic risks, including interest rate risk, primarily by managing the amount, sources, and duration of our assets and liabilities and the use of derivative financial instruments. Specifically, we enter into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the receipt or payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the value of which are determined by interest rates. Our derivative financial instruments are used to manage differences in the amount, timing, and duration of our known or expected cash receipts and our known or expected cash payments principally related to our borrowings.

Certain of our foreign operations expose us to fluctuations of foreign interest rates and exchange rates. We primarily finance our earning assets with debt in the same currency to minimize the impact to earnings from our exposure to fluctuations in exchange rates. When we use a different currency, these fluctuations may impact the value of our cash receipts and payments in terms of our functional currency. We enter into derivative financial instruments to protect the value or fix the amount of certain assets and liabilities in terms of the relevant functional currency. The table below presents the gross amounts of fair value of our derivative instruments and the associated notional amounts:

	September 30, 2019						December 31, 2018

_________________

(a) The gross amounts of the fair value of our assets and liabilities are included in other assets and other liabilities, respectively. Amounts accrued for interest payments in a net receivable position are included in other assets. Amounts accrued for interest payments in a net payable position are included in other liabilities. All our derivatives are categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. 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.

(b) We primarily enter into derivative instruments through AmeriCredit Financial Services, Inc. (AFSI); however, our SPEs may also be parties to derivative instruments. Agreements between AFSI and its derivative counterparties include rights of setoff for positions with offsetting values or for collateral held or posted. At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the fair value of assets and liabilities available for offset was $383 million and $320 million. At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we held $258 million and $30 million of collateral from counterparties which is available for netting against our asset positions. At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we posted $129 million and $451 million of collateral to counterparties which is available for netting against our liability positions.

The following amounts were recorded in the condensed consolidated balance sheet related to items designated and qualifying as hedged items in fair value hedging relationships:

	Carrying Amount of Hedged Items				Cumulative Amount of Fair Value Hedging Adjustments(a)
