| With best-in-class underwriting, a unique business model, a fortress balance sheet and expanding product set with a bigger addressable market and all of the differentiating factors we laid out at our Investor Day two months ago |
| We raised $4.6 billion including issuing 3x in the unsecured market and we continue to strengthen our already industry-leading liquidity profile |
| We're incredibly disciplined around credit and it served us well |
| We are projecting 2024 managed receivables of approximately $24 billion with strong contributions from auto finance and credit card |
| Our final quarter of 2023 was highlighted by continued prudent execution of credit and pricing, ongoing expense discipline and another quarter of strong funding and balance sheet management |
| We maintained our underwriting discipline in 2023, tightening our credit box throughout the year and increasing pricing and continue to feel very good about the loans we are originating today |
| In what was a difficult funding environment, the strength of our balance sheet and capital markets program was evident |
| Most importantly, we remain highly committed to being the lender of choice to the nonprime consumer, helping our customers meet their credit needs today, but also helping them progress to a better financial future |
| Both bonds were well oversubscribed with strong demand from both new and returning investors |
| We feel good about the actions we have taken on credit over the past 18 months |
| We had another strong quarter of funding and balance sheet management |
| We're really pleased with the progress made last year in terms of maturing the business and customer experience |
| Growth in new products, the pending acquisition of Foursight and the marginal cost structure of our personal loan business will also contribute to operating efficiency improvements |
| And with the acquisition of Foursight, which we expect to close this quarter, we're well positioned to drive profitable growth in this business in the years ahead |
| Trim by OneMain, our financial wellness platform which helps customers save money on household bills and manage everyday expenses continues to help our customers improve their financial well-being |
| We remain well positioned to grow once the environment becomes less uncertain |
| Hopefully, you will take away from our comments that we are confident about our competitive positioning, feel very good about our current underwriting posture and the management of our credit box and are optimistic about the opportunities ahead |
| We continue to look, and we have in our deck on Slide 11, our credit results continue to be better than competition |
| The nearly $800 million of capital generated in 2023 is a testament to OneMain strong business model |
| Importantly, we feel very good about the performance of newer vintages |
| The front book is performing well, continuing to perform the way we like it and in line with expectations |
| Look, it's a really good competitive environment for us |
| Our front book is performing well and is continuing to grow, but at a slower pace due to our tighter credit box and pricing actions |
| So where the box is now is we're booking really good business |
| And it's a really good competitive environment |
| And despite the fact that you say that it is a very favorable environment, the growth expectations are kind of -- kind of at the lower end of where you've been historically, particularly for the core product |
| The utilization rate is excellent, and the card continues to be used regularly for groceries, gas and household goods |
| Our customers also really like the product and digital engagement is high, driving customer satisfaction and operating efficiencies |
| We're maintaining our disciplined approach to the rollout of cards as we enter 2024, but think we've built a great product and value proposition for customers, which we will be able to scale in future years |
| We expect that the business we have built combined with the platform and network of franchise dealerships that we acquired with Foursight will drive profitable growth long into the future |

| Second half originations this year were, as we showed, 10% below the second half of '22 |
| So some of those pressures are certainly causing some trouble for certain non-prime consumers and again, particularly the renter class |
| C&I adjusted net income was $1.39 per diluted share, down 9% from $1.53 per diluted share in the prior year quarter |
| Fourth quarter originations were down 13% year-over-year as we continue to tighten our underwriting and maintain a conservative approach to new originations |
| Fourth quarter net income was $165 million or $1.38 per diluted share, down 4% from $1.44 per diluted share in the fourth quarter of 2022 |
| And that says we're going to continue to see some stress in our portfolio |
| I think with our customer base, once you get a couple of payments past due, it's pretty challenging for them to move forward |
| In fact, the 21 basis point year-over-year increase in our 30 to 89 delinquency is entirely driven by the slowdown in our originations |
| So we're down 8% in the third quarter relative to the prior year period, down 13% in the fourth quarter |
| That higher pricing has naturally led to reductions in loan volume |
| There's still a fair amount of uncertainty in the macro environment and a fair number of cross currents |
| Even though demand for our loan products remains very strong, we deliberately reduced the pace of originations as we have taken a conservative view on credit and continued to tighten our underwriting and increase pricing in certain segments |
| Receivables from our auto finance business impacted yield by approximately 20 basis points in the fourth quarter |
| And as long as that relationship holds then you would expect to see that the charge-offs will be lowest in the third quarter; second lowest in the fourth and then highest in the first and second |
| What I would say is going back to '21 and early 2022, there was a ton of supply in the market, and there was a fair amount of irrational pricing, meaning people were making loans to people with high expectations of losses at 10%, which just didn't make any sense, and people lost a lot of money when that happened |
| Our pace of originations has slowed down the front book transition, resulting in a greater mix of higher delinquency back book receivables in our overall portfolio |
| Why is the allowance ratio not declining? Like has the macro assumption got worse |
| To explain this a little further, newer origination vintages carry relatively low delinquency levels |
| And so your question, does the growth take into account the competitive environment, it would have to change a lot for us to have to change our strategy due to the competition |
| Given the macroeconomic uncertainty, we have tilted our new originations towards our lower line cards with an annual fee and continue to book business that meets our return thresholds even if the economic outlook changes |
