The information in this Current Report shall not be incorporated by reference into any registration statement or other document pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. On March 24, 2005, the registrant issued a news release announcing its financial results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2004. A copy of the release is attached as Exhibit 99.1. Exhibit 99.1 to the report may contain a "non-GAAP financial measure" as defined in Item 10 of Regulation S-K of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The possible non-GAAP financial measure is "managed receivables." This possible non-GAAP financial measure is discussed below, including the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States ("GAAP"), a reconciliation of managed receivables to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, and the reasons why the Company believes the presentation of managed receivables provides useful information to management and to investors. Managed receivables should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, the Company's reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. On page 1 of the earnings release included in Exhibit 99.1, the Company stated that managed receivables were $906.9 million at December 31, 2004. The most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP to the managed receivables measure is finance receivables on the consolidated balance sheet. The managed receivables measure also includes (i) the finance receivables held by unconsolidated subsidiaries off balance sheet pursuant to statement on financial accounting standards No. 140, (ii) finance receivables serviced by the Company without any ownership interest, and (iii) repossessed vehicles included in other assets in the Company's balance sheet. In addition, the managed receivables measure includes allowance for credit losses, unearned origination fees, and certain other less significant adjustments. The following table reconciles the Company's finance receivables, prepared on the basis of GAAP, to managed receivables as of December 31, 2004: 2 December 31, 2004 (in millions) ------------- Net finance receivables per balance sheet $ 550.2 Allowance for finance receivables credit losses 42.6 Unearned origination fees 15.1 Finance receivables held by unconsolidated subsidiaries 233.6 Finance receivables serviced without ownership interest 53.5 Adjustment for discount and Rule of 78s 3.5 Repossessed vehicles included in other assets on balance sheet 8.1 Other 0.3 ------------- $ 906.9 ============= The managed receivables measure is useful to management and investors because it provides a basis for estimating (i) the Company's servicing fee revenue and (ii) the Company's servicing personnel requirements. The managed receivables measure is primarily used by investors and analysts, for those purposes. ITEM 9.01 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS (c) Exhibits.
