| Statement |
|---|
| I'm confident these priorities and this management team will help us deliver value for all stakeholders |
| Written premiums of $335 million increased 15% year-over-year as we remained focused on increasing dealer relationships and benefit from normalizing inventory levels |
| But again, we continue to have incredible momentum with our customer base |
| We're about to have a record year, in fact, in terms of attracting new customers to our platform |
| But as I've said many times on these calls, what I'm most proud of is the culture we build along the way |
| As we'll cover on today's call, the company is stronger than ever and positioned for substantial earnings growth over the next several years |
| Our ability to pivot up and down the credit mix should also give you more confidence in our ability to continue booking very strong yields |
| Accessing 13.5 million applications is a result of unique scale and strong and mutually beneficial relationships with our dealer customers |
| Throughout this tightening cycle, we've demonstrated strong pricing on both sides of our balance sheet, with Retail Auto beta around 95% and a deposits beta around 70% |
| Originations of $10.6 billion on the bottom of the page demonstrates the scale of our franchise and the compelling volume we're able to generate given application volume despite tighter underwriting criteria |
| On an $85 billion portfolio, that yield expansion drives meaningful revenue growth over the medium term |
| I am excited for all that we have to accomplish, my fantastic teammates, and Ally's attractive financial outlook |
| As JB pointed out and as I mentioned during the presentation, we've had a really great quarter in terms of attracting new customers |
| Adjusted EPS of $0.83, core ROTCE of 13% and revenues of 2 billion reflect another solid quarter of execution in a dynamic environment |
| Record application flow enables us to be dynamic and selective in what we originate and continues to drive strong risk-adjusted returns |
| Loans originated last year show improving trends as they season and our strategic shift into higher credit quality loans will ultimately reduce portfolio loss content |
| We continue to see modestly offsetting impacts of slightly elevated delinquencies and favorable flow-to-loss trends |
| While we don't expect these items to occur every quarter, the tax team has done an excellent job over the years identifying ways to drive book value and capital accretion |
| Moving to operational performance, we continue to see solid results across the company |
| Within auto finance, we have generated record application volume of 3.7 million, which resulted in 10.6 billion of originations and attractive risk adjusted returns |
| Originating yields for the quarter were 10.7%, while 40% of our volume came from within our highest credit quality tier as we continue to capitalize on strong returns within this segment |
| In total, we've now achieved a cumulative pricing beta of 95% in retail auto, which reflects our consistent approach to dealer engagement and positions us well for yield expansion from here |
| Ally has delivered a remarkable transformation, built an incredibly strong foundation, and is positioned to thrive |
| Core pretax income of $30 million was the result of the highest earned premium revenue since 2009, partially offset by elevated loss activity given the highest severe weather activity since 2014 |
| We continue to successfully grow and deepen dealer relationships, as 324 million of earned premiums was our highest figure since 2009 |
| More than half of our origination volume came from existing deposit customers, highlighting the benefits of our One Ally experience and deepened customer relationships |
| Turning to Slide 23, retail deposits of $140 billion increased $1.1 billion quarter-over-quarter and $6.2 billion year-over-year, demonstrating the strength and resilience of our leading franchise |
| 95,000 net new customers was our 58th consecutive quarter of growth and year-to-date customer growth of 307,000 is the highest in Ally Bank's history |
| 2023 is on track with the highest annual customer growth in Ally Bank's history as customers become increasingly aware of the opportunity to earn more on their savings and the value Ally provides beyond rates |
| Corporate finance continues to deliver accretive, disciplined growth as nearly 100% of the $10.6 billion portfolio is in a first lien position |
| Statement |
|---|
| Net financing revenue of 1.5 billion was down year-over-year, driven by the continued pressure on funding cost, given increased short-term rates as the majority of our consumer deposit portfolio is comprised of liquid products |
| And quite frankly, if you look at our Auto business, just looking at the attractiveness of the assets that we're seeing from our dealer partners, we have certainly had to be restrained in terms of our origination volume |
| The operating environment remains dynamic and interest rate volatility persists, increasing the difficulty in providing granular guidance |
| Continued competition for deposits has put incremental pressure on portfolio yield, which could pick up to 4.2% in the fourth quarter |
| Our macro assumptions is seeing worsening employment conditions with unemployment reaching 4.3% next year before increasing beyond 6% under our reversion to historical mean methodology |
| Moving to Slide 12, net interest margin of 3.26% was down 15 basis points quarter-over-quarter |
| And I guess there's just concern that, that upward pressure on deposit beta could persist as long as Fed funds continues to exceed the rates that you're offering |
| This is an unique environment where unemployment remains historically low, however, persistent inflation is a challenge for many consumers |
| Despite these headwinds, the year-over-year growth in expenses slowed again this quarter as our efficiency initiatives begin to take hold |
| The reinsurance we have in place capped our exposure, but weather was still a headwind given favorability seen in the prior year |
| We are currently forecasting a 4% decline in the fourth quarter and, thereby, on a full year basis as well |
| The challenges one's faced are the violent hail and wind storms with little warning, and that was more what was encountered in the previous quarter |
| From an interest rate perspective we've talked for multiple quarters about the near-term challenges of a rapidly rising rate environment |
| We'll continue finding ways to disrupt the industry and remove friction for customers by delivering leading digital experiences |
| I know you noted that NIM will trough a couple of quarters after rates stabilize and I think you said around 3.35 for the full year, which I think implies a couple of basis points decline in the fourth quarter |
| We've lowered the bottom end of our fourth quarter loss rate expectation given the support in used values we expect from the UAW strike, which I'll cover on the next page |
| And so when you look at it on a year-on-year basis, you can see that those elevated -- the elevated delinquency levels that we're currently seeing, you can see they're actually coming down, that year-over-year change is coming down each quarter sequentially and it has been for the last three quarter straight |
| Severity levels were elevated early in the quarter, reflecting softer used values that strengthened in September |
| On the other hand, the delinquencies are going down |
| An elongated strike could create a near-term support for used vehicle values, but would also pressure fore client [ph] balances and our insurance business |
