Management Discussion
- Key Drivers Income before income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2024 decreased to $737 million from $771 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Key drivers of the change include the following:
- •Finance charge income on retail finance receivables increased $326 million primarily due to an increase in the effective yield and growth in the size of the portfolio. The effective yield on our retail finance receivables increased primarily due to increased average interest rates on new loan originations.
- •Finance charge income on commercial finance receivables increased $92 million primarily due to an increase in the size of the portfolio and an increase in the effective yield as a result of higher benchmark rates.
