Note 4 – Finance Receivables, Net

 

Finance receivables, net consist of retail and dealer accounts including accrued interest and deferred fees and costs, net of the allowance for credit losses and deferred income. Securitized receivables represent retail loan receivables that have been sold for legal purposes to securitization trusts but continue to be included in our consolidated financial statements. Cash flows from these securitized receivables are available only for the repayment of debt issued by these trusts and other obligations arising from the securitization transactions. They are not available for payment of our other obligations or to satisfy claims of our other creditors.

Credit Quality Indicators

 

We are exposed to credit risk on our finance receivables. Credit risk is the risk of loss arising from the failure of customers or dealers to meet the terms of their contracts with us or otherwise fail to perform as agreed.

 

Retail Loan and Commercial Portfolio Segments

 

Retail loan and commercial portfolio segments each consist of one class of finance receivables. While we use various credit quality metrics to develop our allowance for credit losses on the retail loan and commercial portfolio segments, we primarily utilize the aging of the individual accounts to monitor the credit quality of these finance receivables. Based on our experience, the payment status of borrowers is the strongest indicator of the credit quality of the underlying receivables. Payment status also impacts charge-offs.

 

Individual borrower accounts for each class of finance receivables within the retail loan and commercial portfolio segments are segregated into one of four aging categories based on the number of days outstanding. The aging for each class of finance receivables is updated quarterly.

Dealer Products Portfolio Segment

 

For the three classes of finance receivables within the dealer products portfolio segment (wholesale, real estate and working capital), all loans outstanding for an individual dealer or dealership group, which includes affiliated entities, are aggregated and evaluated collectively by dealer or dealer group.  This reflects the interconnected nature of financing provided to our individual dealer and dealer group customers, and their affiliated entities.

 

When assessing the credit quality of the finance receivables within the dealer products portfolio segment, we segregate the finance receivables account balances into four categories representing distinct credit quality indicators based on internal risk assessments. The internal risk assessments for all finance receivables within the dealer products portfolio segment are updated on a monthly basis.

 

The four credit quality indicators are:

 

  • Performing – Account not classified as either Credit Watch, At Risk or Default
  • Credit Watch – Account designated for elevated attention
  • At Risk – Account where there is an increased likelihood that default may exist based on qualitative and quantitative factors
  • Default – Account is not currently meeting contractual obligations or we have temporarily waived certain contractual requirements

The tables below present each credit quality indicator by class of finance receivables as of December 31, 2014 and March 31, 2014:

As of December 31, 2014 and March 31, 2014, the impaired finance receivables balance for accounts in the dealer products portfolio segment that were on nonaccrual status was $43 million and $54 million, respectively, and there were no charge-offs against the allowance for credit losses. Therefore, the impaired finance receivables balance is equal to the unpaid principal balance.

The primary source of interest income recognized on the loans in the table above is from performing troubled debt restructurings. In addition, interest income recognized using a cash-basis method of accounting during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 was not significant.

Troubled Debt Restructuring

 

For accounts not under bankruptcy protection, the amount of finance receivables modified as a troubled debt restructuring during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 is not significant for each class of finance receivables. Troubled debt restructurings for non-bankrupt accounts within the retail loan class of finance receivables are comprised exclusively of contract term extensions that reduce the monthly payment due from the customer. Troubled debt restructurings for accounts within the commercial class of finance receivables consist of contract term extensions, interest rate adjustments, or a combination of the two. For the three classes of finance receivables within the dealer products portfolio segment, troubled debt restructurings include contract term extensions, interest rate adjustments, waivers of loan covenants, or any combination of the three. Troubled debt restructurings of accounts not under bankruptcy protection did not include forgiveness of principal during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013.

 

We consider finance receivables under bankruptcy protection within the retail loan and commercial classes to be troubled debt restructurings as of the date we receive notice of a customer filing for bankruptcy protection regardless of the ultimate outcome of the bankruptcy proceedings. The bankruptcy court may impose modifications as part of the proceedings, including interest rate adjustments and forgiveness of principal. For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, the financial impact of troubled debt restructurings related to accounts under bankruptcy protection was not significant to our Consolidated Statement of Income and Consolidated Balance Sheet.

 

Payment Defaults

 

Finance receivables modified as troubled debt restructurings for which there was a subsequent payment default during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, and for which the modification occurred within twelve months of the payment default, were not significant for all classes of such receivables.
