Note 1.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Acquisition of Ally Financial International Operations
We acquired Ally Financial Inc.'s ("Ally Financial") International Operations

International Operations," we acquired Ally Financial's auto finance and financial services operations in Germany, the United Kingdom (the "U.K."), Italy, Sweden, Switzerland, Austria, Belgium, the Netherlands, Greece, Spain, Chile, Colombia and Mexico on April 1, 2013, and we2013. We acquired Ally Financial's auto finance and financial services operations in France and Portugal on June 1, 2013. The aggregate consideration for these acquisitions was $2.6 billion, subject to certain closing adjustments, of which $65 million, which had been withheld as contingent consideration, was paid upon the closing of the acquisition of2013, and we acquired Ally Financial's Brazilian auto finance and financial services operations in Brazil on October 1, 2013. In additionAdditionally, we have agreed to the purchase price, we also fundedacquire Ally Financial's non-controlling 40% equity interest in GMAC-SAIC Automotive Finance Company Limited ("GMAC-SAIC"), a $1.5 billion intercompany loanjoint venture, which conducts auto finance operations in China. This agreement is subject to certain regulatory and other approvals. We consider it probable that our acquisition of the entities we acquiredAlly Financial's interest in Europe, of which $1.4 billion was used to repay loans from Ally Financial to such European entities. The operations that we have acquiredGMAC-SAIC will occur in late 2014 or as of September 30, 2013 from Ally Financial are referred tosoon as the "international operations."
practicable thereafter. The results of operations of the acquired entities since the applicable acquisition dates are included in our financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013. Certain amounts previously presented related to the operations that we have acquired as of September 30, 2013 have been2014 and will continue to be updated as a result of the finalization of acquisition accounting adjustments.2013.
Segment Information
On October 1, 2013, we completed We evaluate our business in two operating segments: North America ("the acquisition of Ally Financial's auto financeNorth America Segment") and international ("the International Segment"). The North America Segment includes our operations in Brazil for consideration of $611 million, subject to certain closing adjustments. In addition we paid $65 million in contingent consideration related tothe U.S. and Canada. The International Segment includes our previous acquisitions. See Note 16 - "Subsequent Event" for further discussion. Unless otherwise stated herein, the results of operations, financial condition and information reported in these financial statements do not include the financial condition or the results of operations of the Brazil operations. Additionally, we have agreed to acquire Ally Financial's non-controlling 40% equity interest in GMAC-SAIC Automotive Finance Company Limited ("GMAC-SAIC"), which conducts auto finance operations in China.all other countries. For additional financial information regarding our business segments, see Note 12 - "Segment Reporting."
Basis of Presentation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include our accounts and the accounts of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, including certain special-purpose financing entities utilized in secured financing transactions, which are considered variable interest entities ("VIEs"). All intercompany transactions and accountsbalances have been eliminated in consolidation.
The interim period condensed consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, are condensed and do not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") in the United States of America. These interim period condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with ourthe consolidated financial statements that are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K ("Form 10-K") filed on February 15, 2013.6, 2014 ("Form 10-K"). Certain prior periods amounts were reclassified to conform to our current year presentation.
The condensed consolidated financial statements as of at September 30, 2013,2014, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 20132014 and 2012,2013, are unaudited and, in management’s opinion, include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for such interim periods. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions which affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the amount of revenue and costs and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates and those differences may be material. These estimates include, among other things, the determination of the allowance for loan losses on finance receivables, estimated recovery value on leased vehicles, goodwill, income taxes and the expected cash flows on the pre-acquisition consumer finance receivables. In addition, certain assumptions and judgments were used in
Subsequent to the estimated fair value recorded for the international operations acquisition. See Note 2 - "Acquisitionissuance of Ally Financial Inc. International Operations" for further discussion.
Generally, theour 2013 consolidated financial statements, of entities that operate outside of the United States are measured using the local currency as the functional currency. All assets and liabilities of the foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars at period-end exchange rates and the results of operations and cash flows are determined using approximate weighted average exchange rates for the period. Translation adjustments are related to the foreign subsidiaries using local currency as their functional currency and are reported as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income/loss. Foreign currency transaction gains or losses are recorded directly towe identified items not properly classified in the condensed consolidated statements of incomecash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.  The adjustments to previously reported amounts within the various sections of the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows had a net effect of increasing Net cash provided by operating activities by $100 million and comprehensive income, regardlessdecreasing Net cash used in investing activities by $100 million, and were principally related to net funding of whether suchcommercial finance receivables. 
Net Presentation of Cash Flows Related to Commercial Finance Receivables
Our commercial finance receivables are primarily comprised of floorplan financing to dealers.  The floorplan financing loans are repayable by the dealer within two to ten days after the dealer sells the vehicle subject to the financing. In our experience, these loans are typically repaid in less than 90 days of when the credit is extended. Furthermore, we have the unilateral ability to call the loans and receive payment within 30 days of when the credit is extended. Therefore, the presentation of the cash flows related to commercial finance receivables are reflected on the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows as "Net funding of commercial finance receivables."

Table of Contents

We have revolving debt agreements to finance our commercial lending activities. The revolving period of these agreements ranges from 12 to 36 months; however, the terms of these financing agreements require that a borrowing base of eligible floorplan receivables, within certain concentration limits, must be maintained in sufficient amounts are realizedto support advances.  When a dealer repays a floorplan receivable to us, the amount advanced against such receivables must be repaid by us or unrealized. We may enter into foreign currency derivatives to mitigate our exposure to changeselse the equivalent amount in foreign exchange rates. See Note 8 - "Derivative Financial Instruments" for further discussion.
Prior year amounts for leased vehicle income have been reclassified to conformnew receivables must be added to the current year presentation. Leased vehicle incomeborrowing base. Despite the revolving term exceeding 90 days, the actual term for repayment of advances under these agreements is now presented separatelywhen we receive repayment from the dealers, which is typically within 90 days of when the credit is extended. Therefore, for 2014, the cash flows related to these revolving debt agreements are reflected on the condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. It was previously includedcash flows as “Net decrease in other income.debt (original maturities less than three months).”
Due toRelated Party Transactions
We are the financial statement impact of the international operations acquisition, the presentation convention has been changed from "thousands" to "millions" to simplify the review and analysiswholly-owned captive finance subsidiary of our financial information. Some prior period amounts may not round under the new convention in a manner consistent with our previous presentation. In addition, we have changed the presentation of debt on the condensed consolidated balance sheets to better classify the debt facilities acquired with the international operations. Debt was previously presented in the following captions: credit facilities, securitization notes payable and senior notes, which were the only types of debt we held. The characteristics of the debt acquired with the international operations are more varied; therefore we have simplified the presentation of our debt as "secured" and "unsecured."
Finance Receivables
Our finance receivables are reported in two portfolios: pre-acquisition and post-acquisition. The pre-acquisition finance receivables portfolio is comprised of (i) finance receivables originated in North America prior to the October 1, 2010 merger withparent, General Motors Company ("GM"), all of which were considered to have had deterioration in credit quality, and (ii) finance receivables that were considered to have had deterioration in credit quality that were acquired with the international operations. The pre-acquisition portfolio will decrease over time with the amortization of the acquired receivables.
The post-acquisition finance receivables portfolio is comprised of (i) finance receivables originated in North America since the merger with GM, (ii) finance receivables originated in the international operations since the applicable acquisition dates and (iii) finance receivables that were considered to have had no deterioration in credit quality that were acquired with the international operations. The post-acquisition portfolio is expected to grow over time as we originate new receivables.
Pre-Acquisition Finance Receivables
Following the merger with GM and the acquisition of the international operations, we further divided the pre-acquisition finance receivables into multiple pools based on common risk characteristics. Through acquisition accounting adjustments, the allowance for loan losses that existed at the merger and the acquisition dates was eliminated and the receivables were adjusted to fair value. The pre-acquisition finance receivables were acquired at a discount, which contains two components: a non-accretable difference and an accretable yield. A non-accretable difference is the excess of contractually required payments (undiscounted amount of all uncollected contractual principal and interest payments, both past due and scheduled for the future) over the amount of cash flows, considering the impact of defaults and prepayments, expected to be collected. An accretable yield is the excess of the cash flows, considering the impact of defaults and prepayments, expected to be collected over the initial investment in the loans, which at the acquisition date was fair value. The accretable yield is recorded as finance charge income over the life of the acquired receivables.
Any deterioration in the performance of the pre-acquisition finance receivables from their expected performance will result in an incremental provision for loan losses. Improvements in the performance of the pre-acquisition finance receivables which results in a significant increase in actual or expected cash flows will result first in the reversal of any incremental related allowance for loan losses and then in a transfer of the excess from the non-accretable difference to accretable yield, which will be recorded as finance charge income over the remaining life of the receivables.
Once a pool of loans is assembled, the integrity of the pool is maintained. A loan is removed from a pool only if it is sold (other than to a consolidated VIE), paid in full, or written off. Our policy is to remove a loan individually from a pool based on comparing any amount received upon disposition of the loan or underlying collateral with the contractual amount remaining due. The excess of the contractual amount remaining due over the amount received upon its disposition is absorbed by the non-accretable difference. This removal method assumes that the amount received approximates pool performance expectations. The remaining accretable yield balance is unaffected and any material change in remaining effective yield caused by this removal method is addressed by our quarterly cash flow evaluation process for each pool. For loans that are resolved by payment in full, there is no reduction in the amount of non-accretable difference for the pool because there is no difference between the amount received and the contractual amount of the loan.
Post-Acquisition Finance Receivables and Allowance for Loan Losses
Finance receivables originated in North America since our October 1, 2010 merger with GM and in the international operations since the applicable acquisition dates are carried at amortized cost, net of allowance for loan losses. Provisions for loan losses are

7


charged to operations in amounts sufficient to maintain the allowance for loan losses at levels considered adequate to cover probable credit losses inherent in our finance receivables.
The allowance for loan losses on consumer finance receivables is established systematically based on the determination of the amount of probable credit losses inherent in the finance receivables as of the balance sheet date. We review charge-off experience factors, delinquency reports, historical collection rates, estimates of the value of the underlying collateral, economic trends, such as unemployment rates, and other information in order to make the necessary judgments as to the probable credit losses. We also use historical charge-off experience to determine the loss confirmation period, which is defined as the time between when an event, such as delinquency status, giving rise to a probable credit loss occurs with respect to a specific account and when such account is charged off. This loss confirmation period is applied to the forecasted probable credit losses to determine the amount of losses inherent in finance receivables at the balance sheet date. Assumptions regarding credit losses and loss confirmation periods are reviewed periodically and may be impacted by actual performance of finance receivables and changes in any of the factors discussed above. Should the credit loss assumption or loss confirmation period increase, there would be an increase in the amount of allowance for loan losses required, which would decrease the net carrying value of finance receivables and increase the amount of provision for loan losses.
For the finance receivables acquired with the international operations that were considered to have no deterioration in credit quality, the existing allowance for loan losses was eliminated and the receivables were adjusted to fair value. The purchase discount will accrete to income over the life of the receivables, based on the effective interest method. Provisions for loan losses are charged to operations in amounts equal to net credit losses for the period. Any deterioration in the performance of the acquired receivables will result in an incremental provision for loan losses.
Segment Information
We offer substantially similar products and services throughout many different regions, subject to local regulations and market conditions. We report our business segments based on geographic regions: North America ("North America Segment") and international ("International Segment"). The North America Segment includes our operations in the United States and Canada. The International Segment includes our operations in all other countries. For additional financial information regarding our business segments, see Note 13 - "Segment Reporting."

Under subvention programs, GM makes cash payments to us for offering incentivized rates and structures on consumer loan and lease finance products andproducts. In addition, GM makes payments to us to cover certain interest payments on commercial loans. At September 30, 20132014 and December 31, 20122013, we had intercompanyrelated party receivables from GM in the amount of $111195 million and $66129 million under various subventionthese programs.
In addition,At September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 we had $52116 million and $4662 million due at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 in loans outstanding to dealers that are consolidated by GM, in connection with our commercial lending program. Our international operations also provide financing to certain GM subsidiaries through factoring and other wholesale financing arrangements. As ofAt September 30, 20132014, and December 31, 2013, $583342 million wasand $588 million were outstanding under such arrangements, and isare included in commercial finance receivables. At September 30, 20132014, and December 31, 2013, we also havehad $357603 million and $368 million of related party payables due to GM, primarily for commercial finance receivables originated but not yet funded. These payables typically settle within 30 days.
As discussed in Note 11 - "Income Taxes" weWe have a tax sharing agreement with GM. Under that agreement,GM for our U.S. operations, and we are obligated to pay GM for our share of the consolidated U.S. federal and certain state tax liabilities for taxable income recognized by us in any period beginning on or after October 1, 2010. Payments for the tax years 2010 through 2014 are deferred for four years from their original due date, and the total deferral amount is limited to not exceed $11.0 billion. As ofThe tax sharing agreement may be modified at any time by GM in its sole discretion. At September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we have recordedhad related party taxes payable to GM in the amount of $598877 million. and $643 million.
In September 2014, we and GM entered into a Support Agreement (the “Support Agreement”). Pursuant to the Support Agreement, if our earning assets leverage at the end of any calendar quarter is higher than thresholds set in the Support Agreement, We may require GM to provide funding sufficient to bring our earning assets leverage to within the appropriate threshold. In determining our earning assets leverage (net earning assets divided by adjusted equity) under the Support Agreement, net earning assets means our finance receivables, net, plus leased vehicles, net, and adjusted equity means our equity, net of goodwill and inclusive of outstanding junior subordinated debt. At September 30, 2014, our earning assets leverage ratio was 7.0, which is below the current applicable ratio of 8.0.
Additionally, the Support Agreement provides that GM will own all of our outstanding voting shares as long as we have any unsecured debt securities outstanding and that GM will use its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that we will continue to be designated as a $600subsidiary borrower on $4.0 billion under GM’s corporate revolving credit facilities. GM also agreed to certain provisions intended to ensure that we maintain adequate access to liquidity. Pursuant to these provisions, GM provided us with a $1.0 billion unsecured intercompany revolving credit facility (the “Junior Subordinated Revolving Credit Facility”), which replaced an existing $600 million line of intercompany credit facility with GM ("GM Related Party Credit Facility").GM. There were no advances outstanding under the GM Related PartyJunior Subordinated Revolving Credit Facility at September 30, 20132014.
In October 2014, GM amended its two primary unsecured revolving credit facilities increasing GM's aggregate borrowing capacity from $11.0 billion to $12.5 billion. These facilities consist of a three-year, $5.0 billion facility and a five-year, $7.5 billion facility.
We have the ability to borrow up to $2.0 billion against each of GM's unsecured revolving credit facilities, subject to available capacity. Our borrowings under GM's facilities are limited by GM's ability to borrow the entire amount available under the facilities. Therefore, we may be able to borrow up to $4.0 billion in total or December 31, 2012.may be unable to borrow depending on GM's borrowing activity. If we do borrow under these facilities, we expect such borrowings would be short-term in nature and, except in extraordinary circumstances, would not be used to fund our operating activities in the ordinary course of business. Neither we, nor any of our subsidiaries, guarantee any obligations under these facilities and none of our or our subsidiaries' assets secure these facilities.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2013, ASU ("2013-02"), Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, was issued effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The adoption of 2013-02 improves the reporting of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income. We adopted this ASU effective January 1, 2013, and the adoption did not have an impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In July 2013, ASURecently Adopted Accounting Principles
On January 1, 2014 we adopted Accounting Standards Update ("2013-11"ASU"), Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation 2013-11, “Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists - a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force, Exists” which was issued to eliminate diversity in practice. This ASU 2013-11 requires that companies net their unrecognized tax benefits against all same-jurisdiction net operating losses or tax credit carryforwards that would be used to settle the position with a tax authority. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
In May 2014 the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue Recognition - Revenue from Contracts with Customers” ("ASU 2014-09") that requires companies to recognize revenue when a customer obtains control rather than when companies have transferred substantially all risks and rewards of a good or service. This new guidanceupdate is effective prospectively for annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 20132016 and interim periods therein. Thetherein and requires expanded disclosures. We are currently assessing the impact the adoption of ASU 2013-112014-09 will not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements because it aligns with our historical presentation.
Note 2.    Acquisition of Ally Financial Inc. International Operations
In November 2012, we entered into a definitive agreement with Ally Financial to acquire 100% of the outstanding equity interests in the top level holding companies of its automotive finance and financial services operations in Europe and Latin America and a separate agreement to acquire Ally Financial's non-controlling equity interest in GMAC-SAIC, which conducts auto finance operations in China.
On April 1, 2013, we completed the acquisition of Ally Financial's European and Latin American automotive finance operations except for France, Portugal and Brazil, and on June 1, 2013, we completed the acquisition of Ally Financial's automotive finance operations in France and Portugal. The aggregate consideration for these acquisitions was $2.6 billion, subject to certain closing adjustments, of which $65 million, which had been withheld as contingent consideration, was paid upon the closing of the acquisition of Ally Financial's Brazilian auto finance and financial services operations described below. In addition, we repaid debt of $1.4 billion that was assumed as part of the acquisitions. We recorded the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed on the acquisition dates.
On October 1, 2013, we completed the acquisition of Ally Financial's auto finance operations in Brazil for consideration of $611 million, subject to certain closing adjustments. See Note 16 - "Subsequent Event" for further discussion. In addition we paid $65 million in contingent consideration related to our previous acquisitions.
Our acquisition of Ally Financial's equity interest in GMAC-SAIC is subject to certain regulatory and other approvals, and is expected to close in 2014. We expect to pay approximately $900 million to close this acquisition, subject to certain closing adjustments.
The international operations were formerly a part of General Motors Acceptance Corporation, the former captive finance subsidiary of GM, and due to this longstanding relationship, the majority of the international operations business is related to GM and its dealer network. With the acquisition of the international operations, we have expanded to become a global captive finance company, and expect to realize numerous strategic benefits, including increased finance penetration resulting from a broadened relationship with GM, geographic diversification of our customer base and transition of our business into a full-spectrum credit platform.
The acquisition of the international operations has been accounted for as a business combination, whereby the purchase price of the transaction was allocated to the identifiable assets and liabilities assumed based upon their fair values. The estimates of the fair values recorded were determined based on fair value measurement principles (see Note 9 - "Fair Values of Assets and Liabilities" for further discussion) and reflect significant assumptions and judgments. Material valuation inputs for finance receivables included adjustments to monthly principal and interest cash flows for prepayments and credit loss expectations; and discount rates developed based on the relative risk of the cash flows which considered loan type, market rates as of our valuation date, credit loss expectations and capital structure. Material valuation inputs for debt included discount rates developed based on the relative risk of the contractual cash flows, taking into consideration market rates and liquidity expectations for each country. Certain assumptions and judgments that were considered to be appropriate at the applicable acquisition date may prove to be incorrect if market conditions change.
The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill, which is primarily attributed to the value of the incremental GM business expected. The preliminary goodwill amount is $48 million, but is subject to further adjustment pending the closing of our acquisition of the remaining international operations as well as any potential adjustments resulting from the finalization of the valuation of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities. Valuations and assumptions pertaining to income taxes are subject to change as additional information is obtained during the measurement period. We will assign the goodwill to reporting units, which will be determined upon completion of the remaining acquisitions. The goodwill will not be deductible for tax purposes.

Consumer Finance Receivables
Our consumer finance receivables are reported in two portfolios: pre-acquisition and post-acquisition. The pre-acquisition consumer finance receivables portfolio consists of (i) finance receivables originated in North America prior to our merger with

Consumer Finance ReceivablesGM, all of which were considered to have had deterioration in credit quality, and (ii) finance receivables that were considered to have had deterioration in credit quality that were acquired with the international operations. The pre-acquisition consumer portfolio will decrease over time with the amortization of the acquired receivables.
The post-acquisition consumer finance receivables portfolio consists of (i) finance receivables originated in North America since our merger with GM, (ii) finance receivables originated in the international operations since the applicable acquisition dates and (iii) finance receivables that were considered to have had no deterioration in credit quality that were acquired with the international operations. The post-acquisition consumer portfolio will grow over time as we originate new receivables.

Certain amounts in this table have been updated as a result of the finalization of acquisition accounting adjustments, including a determination that certain consumer finance receivables should be reclassified from receivables with credit impairment to receivables with no deterioration in credit quality. Accordingly, contractually required payments receivable, cash flows expected to be collected and fair value of $1.2 billion, $1.1 billion and $1.0 billion were reclassified to consumer finance receivables acquired which had no deterioration in credit quality. This reclassification had no material effect on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2013 or condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013.
We review our pre-acquisition portfolio for differences between contractual cash flows and the cash flows expected to be collected to determine if the difference is attributable, at least in part, to credit quality. During the nine months ended September 30, 20132014 and 2012,2013, as a result of improvements in the credit performance of the pre-acquisition portfolio, expected cash flows increased by $73$40 million and $17073 million. We transferred the amount of excess cash flows from the non-accretable difference to accretable yield. This excess will be amortized through finance charge income over the remaining life of the portfolio. As a result of the decrease in the pre-acquisition portfolio through amortization, the amount of excess cash flows transferred to accretable yield and subsequently amortized through finance charge income has decreased.

Post-acquisition Consumer Finance Receivables
ConsumerWe generally purchase consumer finance contracts are purchased by us from auto dealers without recourse, and accordingly, the dealer has no liability to us if the consumer defaults on the contract. Depending upon the contract structure and consumer credit attributes, we may pay dealers a participation fee or we may charge dealers a non-refundable acquisition fee when purchasing individual finance contracts. We also have subvention programs with GM and other new vehicle manufacturers, under which the manufacturers provide us cash payments in order for us to offer lower interest rates on consumer finance contracts we purchase. We record the amortization of participation fees and subvention and accretion of acquisition fees to finance charge income using the effective interest method.

Consumer Credit Quality
We use proprietary scoring systems in the underwriting process that measure the credit quality of the receivables using several factors, such as credit bureau information, consumer credit risk scores (e.g. FICO score), and contract characteristics. In addition to our proprietary scoring system, we consider other individual consumer factors, such as employment history, financial stability, and capacity to pay. At the time of loan origination, substantially all of our international consumers have the equivalent of prime credit scores. In the North America Segment, however, our consumer finance receivables are predominantly sub-prime. A summary of the credit risk profile by FICO score band, determined at origination, of the consumer finance receivables in the North America Segment is as follows (dollars in millions):

Balance at the end of the period is the sum of pre-acquisition consumer finance receivables-outstanding balance and post-acquisition consumer finance receivables, net of fees for North America Segment.
WeIn addition we review the credit quality of all of our consumer finance receivables based on consumer payment activity. A consumer account is considered delinquent if a substantial portion of a scheduled payment has not been received by the date such payment was contractually due. Consumer finance receivables are collateralized by vehicle titles and, subject to local laws, we generally have the right to repossess the vehicle in the event the consumer defaults on the payment terms of the contract. The following is a summary of the contractual amounts of consumer finance receivables, which is not materiallysignificantly different than recorded investment, that are (i) more than 30 days delinquent, but not yet in repossession, and (ii) in repossession, but not yet charged off (dollars in millions):

Impaired Consumer Finance Receivables - Troubled Debt Restructurings ("TDRs")TDRs
Consumer finance receivables in the post-acquisition portfolio that become classified as TDRstroubled debt restructurings ("TDRs") are separately assessed for impairment. A specific allowance is estimated based on the present value of the expected future cash flows of the receivable discounted at the loan's original effective interest rate. The financial effects of the accounts that become classified as TDRs result in an impairment charge recorded as part of the provision for loan losses. Accounts that become classified as TDRs because of a payment deferral still accrue interest at the contractual rate and an additional fee is collected (where permitted) at each time of deferral and recorded as a reduction of accrued interest. No interest or fees are forgiven on a payment deferral to a customer and therefore, there are no additional financial effects of deferred loans becoming classified as TDRs. Accounts in Chapter 13 bankruptcy would have already been placed on non-accrual; therefore, there are no additional financial effects from these loans becoming classified as TDRs. As ofAt September 30, 20132014, the outstanding balance of consumer finance receivables in the International Segment determined to be TDRs was insignificant; therefore, the following information is presented with regard to the TDRs in the North America Segment only.
The outstanding recorded investment for consumer finance receivables that are considered to be TDRs and the related allowance is presented below (in millions):

Commercial Credit Quality
We extend wholesale credit to dealers primarily in the form of approved lines of credit to purchase new vehicles as well as used vehicles. Each commercial lending request is evaluated, taking into consideration the borrower's financial condition and the underlying collateral for the loan.
We use a proprietary modelmodels to assign each dealer a risk rating. This model usesThese models use historical performance data to identify key factors about a dealer that we consider significant in predicting a dealer's ability to meet its financial obligations. We also consider numerous other financial and qualitative factors including capitalization and leverage, liquidity and cash flow, profitability and credit history. 
We regularly review our modelmodels to confirm the continued business significance and statistical predictability of the factors and update the modelmodels to incorporate new factors or other information that improves its statistical predictability. In addition, we verify

11


the existence of the assets collateralizing the receivables by physical audits of vehicle inventories, which are performed with increased frequency for higher risk (i.e., Groups III, IV, V and VI) dealers. We perform a credit review of each dealer at least annually and adjust the dealer's risk rating, if necessary.
Performance of our commercial finance receivables is evaluated based on our internal dealer risk rating analysis, as payment for wholesale receivables is generally not required until the dealer has sold the vehicle inventory. Wholesale and dealer loan receivables with the same dealer customer share the same risk rating.

At September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, 99.7% substantially all of our commercial finance receivables were current with respect to payment status.
Impaired Commercial Finance Receivables
We consider a loan impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. The amount of impairment is based on expected proceeds, including the estimated amount of future cash flows and/or the fair value of underlying collateral, compared to the recorded investment of the loan. A specific allowance for losses is established in the amount of any measured impairment.
Commercial finance receivables classified as TDRs are assessed for impairment and included in our allowance for credit losses based on the present value of the expected future cash flows of the receivable discounted at the loan's original effective interest rate. For receivables where foreclosure is probable, the fair value of the collateral is used to estimate the specific impairment. At September 30, 20132014 and December 31, 2012,2013, there were no outstanding commercial finance receivables classified as TDRs.

Secured Debt
Secured debt consists of securitization notes payable and other asset-secured credit facilities. The revolving secured debt facilities have revolving periods ranging from one to three years. At the end of the revolving period, if the facilities are not renewed, the debt will amortize over periods ranging up to six years. Most of the secured debt was issued by variable interest entities, as further discussed in Note 76 - "Variable Interest Entities." This debt is repayable only from proceeds related to the underlying pledged finance receivables and leases.lease related assets.
In connection with our merger with GM, we recorded an acquisition accounting premium that is being amortized against interest expense over the expected term of the securitization notes payable outstanding at the merger date. Amortization for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was $9 million and $26 million. At September 30, 2013, unamortized acquisition accounting premium of $1 million is included in secured debt. In connection with our acquisition of the international operations, we recorded an acquisition accounting discount that will amortize to interest expense over the expected term of the secured credit facilities outstanding at the applicable acquisition date. Accretion forDuring the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $6 million. At September 30, 20132014, remaining acquisition accounting discount of $32 million is included in secured debt.
Interest rates on the secured debt in the North America Segment are primarily fixed, ranging from 0.98% to 5.86% at September 30, 2013 and 0.62% to 12.84% at September 30, 2012. Interest rates on the secured debt in the International Segment are primarily floating, ranging from 0.90% to 7.70% at September 30, 2013. In the nine months ended September 30, 2013 we entered into two revolving credit facilities secured by commercial finance receivables for a commitment of $1.3 billion$445 million in aggregate. The facilities each have a one-year revolving period and have interest rates of 0.7% and 1.3% as of September 30, 2013. In the nine months ended September 30, 2013 we also issued securitization notes payable of $4.7 billion, with a weighted-average interest rate of 1.6% maturing on various dates through 2021. At September 30, 2013new revolving credit facilities and issued $7.1 billion in securitization notes payable.
We are required to hold funds in restricted cash accounts to provide additional collateral for borrowings under certain of our secured credit facilities. Additionally, certain of our secured credit facilities contain various covenants requiring minimum financial ratios, asset quality and portfolio performance ratios (portfolio net loss and delinquency ratios and pool level cumulative net loss ratios) as well as limits on deferment levels. Failure to meet any of these covenants could result in an event of default under these agreements. If an event of default occurs under these agreements, the lenders could elect to declare all amounts outstanding under these agreements to be immediately due and payable, acquired with the international operations acquisition had balances outstanding of $4.8 billion and $1.9 billion. Issuance costs on the secured debt of $51 millionenforce their interests against collateral pledged under these agreements, restrict our ability to obtain additional borrowings under these agreements and/or remove us as of servicer. At September 30, 2013 and $31 million as of December 31, 2012 are included2014, we were in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, and are amortizedcompliance with all covenants related to interest expense over the expected term of the secured debt.our credit facilities.

The other terms of our unsecured bank lines range up to three years. If not renewed, any balance outstanding underall these bank lines is either immediately due in full or else will amortize over a defined period. Interest rates on unsecured bank lines ranged from 0.50% to 9.00% at September 30, 2013.

All of the international operations, and are also used to support our overall growth. At September 30, 2013, we had $4.0 billion of senior notes that mature from 2016 through 2023 and have interest rates that range from 2.75% to 6.75%. All ofissued by our senior notestop-tier holding company may be redeemed, at our option, in whole or in part, at any time before maturity at the redemption prices as set forth in the indentures that govern the senior notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, and liquidated damages, if any, to the redemption date. In addition, if a change of control occurs, as that term is defined in the indentures that govern the senior notes, prior to us being rated "investment grade" by at least two of three listed rating agencies, the holders of these senior notes will have the right, subject to certain conditions, to require us to repurchase their senior notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of senior notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, and liquidated damages, if any, as of the date of repurchase. TheAll of our senior notes are guaranteed solely by AmeriCredit Financial Services, Inc. ("AFSI"); none of our other subsidiaries are guarantors of theour senior notes. See Note 1715 - "Guarantor Consolidating Financial Statements" for further discussion.
The indentures that govern the senior notes issued by our top-tier holding company provide for customary events of default, including nonpayment, failure to comply with covenants or other agreements in the indentures, if any subsidiary guarantee shall cease to be in full force and effect or any guarantor shall deny or disaffirm its obligations under its subsidiary guarantee, and certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency. If any event of default occurs and is continuing with respect to a series of senior notes, the trustee or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding senior notes of such series may declare all of the senior notes of such series to be due and payable immediately.

As of At September 30, 2013,2014, we were in compliance with all covenants related to our senior notes.
In May 2014 our Canadian subsidiary issued C$400 million of 3.25% senior notes through a private placement in Canada. The notes are due in May 2017 with interest payable semiannually. These notes are guaranteed by our securedtop-tier holding company and by AFSI. We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering for general corporate purposes.
The International Segment issues unsecured debt.debt through credit facilities with banks and other non-bank funding instruments. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we entered into $181 million of new unsecured committed credit facilities.
In October 2014, a European subsidiary issued €500 million of 1.875% notes under its euro medium term notes program, which are listed on the Irish Stock Exchange. These notes are due in October 2019 with interest payable annually. These notes are guaranteed by our top-tier holding company and by AFSI. We intend to use the net proceeds for general corporate purposes.

Note 7.Variable Interest Entities
We use special-purpose entities ("SPEs") that are considered VIEs to issue variable funding notes to third party bank-sponsored warehouse facilities or asset-backed securities to investors in securitization transactions. The securities issued by these VIEs are backed by the cash flows related to finance receivablesNote 6.    Variable Interest Entities
Securitizations and leasing related assets transferred by us to the VIEs (securitized assets).
The transfers of the securitized assets to the SPEs are considered to be sales for legal purposes. However, the securitized assets and the related debt, accounted for as secured borrowings, remain on our condensed consolidated balance sheets as discussed below. Except for the acquisition accounting adjustments, which are not recorded at the SPE trusts, we recognize finance charge income, leased vehicle income and other income on the securitized assets and interest expense on the secured debt issued by the special-purpose entities. We also maintain an allowance for estimated probable credit losses on the securitized assets to cover estimated incurred credit losses using a methodology consistent with that used for our non-securitized asset portfolio.
We hold variable interests in the VIEs that could potentially be significant to the VIEs. We determined that we are the primary beneficiary of the SPEs because (i) our servicing responsibilities for the securitized assets give us the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the performance of the VIEs and (ii) our variable interests in the VIEs give us the obligation to absorb losses and the right to receive residual returns that could potentially be significant. Therefore, the assets and liabilities of the VIEs are included in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.facilities
The following table summarizes the assets and liabilities related toof our consolidated VIEs related to securitization and credit facilities (in millions):
 September 30, 2013 December 31, 2012
Restricted cash$1,350
 $744
VIE securitized assets$21,761
 $10,442
VIE liabilities$18,147
 $9,378

19


Restricted cash represents collections from the underlying securitized assets and certain reserve accounts held as credit enhancement on securitizations for the benefit of the noteholders. Cash pledged to support the secured borrowings is deposited to a restricted cash account, which is invested in highly liquid securities with original maturities of 90 days or less.
  September 30, 2014 December 31, 2013
Restricted cash $1,696
 $1,523
VIE assets $25,512
 $23,584
VIE liabilities $20,321
 $19,448
The assets of the VIEs and the restricted cash held by uswe hold serve as the sole source of repayment for the asset-backed securitiesdebt issued by these entities. Investors in the notes issued by the VIEs do not have recourse to us or our other assets, with the exception of customary representation and warranty repurchase provisions and indemnities we provide as the servicer. We are not required and do not currently intend to provide additional financial support to these VIEs. While these subsidiaries are included in our condensed consolidated financial statements, these subsidiaries are separate legal entities and their assets are legally owned by them and not available to our creditors.
In addition, we entered into interest rate swaps and caps with certain SPEsspecial-purpose entities ("SPEs") that issue variable rate debt against fixed rate securitized assets. Under the terms of these swaps, the SPEs are obligated to pay us a fixed rate of interest on certain payment dates in exchange for receiving a floating rate of interest on notional amounts equal to the outstanding balance of the secured debt. This arrangement enables the SPEs to mitigate the interest rate risk inherent in issuing variable rate debt that is secured by fixed rate securitized assets, as required to maintain ratings on such securitizations. See Note 87 - "Derivative Financial Instruments"Instruments and Hedging Activities" for further discussion.
Other VIEs
We consolidate certain operating entities that provide auto finance and financial services, which we do not control through a majority voting interest. We manage these entities and maintain a controlling financial interest in them and are exposed to the risks of ownership through contractual arrangements. The majority voting interests in these entities are indirectly wholly-owned by our parent, GM. Prior to December 2013, the voting interests in these entities were indirectly wholly-owned by us. At September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, total assets of these entities were $4.7 billion and $3.9 billion, which were comprised primarily of cash and cash equivalents and finance receivables; and total liabilities were $3.9 billion and $3.0 billion, which were comprised primarily of debt, accounts payable (primarily trade) and accrued liabilities. In the nine months ended September 30, 2014 total revenue recorded by these entities was $148 million and net income was $29 million. In the three months ended September 30, 2014 total revenue recorded by these entities was $30 million and net income was $8 million. These amounts are stated prior to intercompany eliminations and include amounts related to securitization and credit facilities held by consolidated VIEs. Liabilities recognized as a result of consolidating these entities generally do not represent claims against us or our other subsidiaries and assets recognized generally are for the benefit of these entities operations and cannot be used to satisfy our or our subsidiaries obligations.
Transfers of finance receivables to non-VIEs
Under certain debt agreements, we transfer finance receivables to third-party banks, which are not considered VIEs.  These transfers do not meet the criteria to be considered sales; therefore, the finance receivables and the related debt are included in our condensed consolidated financial statements.  Any collections received on the transferred receivables are available only for the repayment of the related debt.  At September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, $2.7 billion and $2.8 billion in finance receivables had been transferred in secured funding arrangements to third-party banks, to which $2.6 billion and $2.7 billion in secured debt was outstanding.

At December 31, 2012, we had derivative assets and liabilities with notional amounts of $775 million, which had an insignificant fair value.
Generally,As appropriate, we purchase interest rate cap agreements to limit floating rate exposures on certain of our revolving secured debt. We also utilize interest rate swap agreements to convert floating rate exposures on certain of our revolving debt or on securities issued in securitization transactions to fixed rates, thereby hedging the variability in interest expense paid.
In connection with the closing of the acquisition of the international operations from Ally Financial, weWe provided loans denominated in foreign currencies (euro, British pound and Swedish krona) to acquiredcertain of our international entities for the equivalent of $1.51.7 billion. We purchase foreign exchangecurrency swaps to hedge against any valuation change in the loans due to changes in foreign exchange rates. In addition, our operations in the U.K. issued debt denominated in U.S. dollars in an amount equivalent to £350 million and put a cross-currency swap in place to hedge against any valuation change in the debt due to changes in exchange rates.

Note 10.9.Commitments and Contingencies
Guarantees of Indebtedness
The payments of principal and interest on our senior notes issued by our top-tier holding company are guaranteed by AFSI. As ofAt September 30, 20132014 and December 31, 20122013, the par value of ourthese senior notes was $4.0$7.5 billion and $1.5 billion.$4.0 billion. See Note 1715 - "Guarantor Consolidating Financial Statements" for further discussion.
Legal Proceedings
As a consumer finance company, we are subject to various consumer claims and litigation seeking damages and statutory penalties, based upon, among other things, usury, disclosure inaccuracies, wrongful repossession, violations of bankruptcy stay provisions, certificate of title disputes, fraud, breach of contract and discriminatory treatment of credit applicants. Some litigation against us could take the form of class action complaints by consumers and certain legal actions include claims for substantial compensatory and/or punitive damages or claims for indeterminate amounts of damages. We establish reserves for legal claims when payments associated with the claims become probable and the payments can be reasonably estimated. Given the inherent difficulty of predicting the outcome of litigation and regulatory matters, it is generally very difficult to predict what the eventual outcome will be, and when the matter will be resolved. The actual costs of resolving legal claims may be higher or lower than any amounts reserved for the claims. At September 30, 2014, we estimated our reasonably possible legal exposure for unfavorable outcomes to be $125 million, and have accrued $58 million.
Other Administrative Tax Matters
We accrue non-income tax liabilities for contingencies when management believes that a loss is probable and the amounts can be reasonably estimated, while contingent gains are recognized only when realized. In the event any losses are sustained in excess of accruals, they will be charged against income at that time.
In evaluating indirect tax matters, we take into consideration factors such as our historical experience with matters of similar nature, specific facts and circumstances, and the likelihood of prevailing. We reevaluate and update our accruals as matters progress over time. It is reasonably possible that some of the matters for which accruals have not been established could be decided unfavorably to us and could require us to make expenditures for which we estimate the aggregate risk to be a range of up to $3275 million.
Note 11.Income Taxes
Note 10.     Income Taxes

For interim income tax reporting we estimate our annual effective tax rate and apply it to our year-to-date ordinary income. Tax jurisdictions with a projected or year-to-date loss for which a tax benefit cannot be realized are excluded.excluded from the annualized effective tax rate. The tax effects of unusual

22


or infrequently occurring items, including changes in judgment about valuation allowances and effects of changes in tax laws or rates, are reported in the interim period in which they occur.
We had gross unrecognized tax benefits of $82 million and $53 million at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012. The amounts of net unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate are $55 million and $28 million at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012. The increase in the gross unrecognized tax benefits is primarily due to the acquisition of the international operations. See Note 2 - "Acquisition of Ally Financial Inc. International Operations" for further discussion on the acquisition.
At September 30, 2013, we believe that it is reasonably possible that the gross unrecognized tax benefits could decrease by $5 million to $13 million in the next twelve months due to settlements or the expiration of statutes of limitations. We continually evaluate expiring statutes of limitations, audits, proposed settlements, changes in tax laws and new authoritative rulings.
We recognize accrued interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions as a component of the income tax provision. As of September 30, 2013, accrued interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions were $17 million and $16 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we released $11 million in interest associated with uncertain tax positions. The interest release is primarily a result of the completion of an IRS audit as discussed below.
We have open tax years ranging from 2005 to 2012 with various U.S. federal, state and non-U.S. tax jurisdictions. Certain of our tax returns are currently under examination in these various tax jurisdictions. Since October 1, 2010, we have been included in GM's consolidated U.S. federal income tax returns. Similarly, we also file unitary, combined or consolidated state and local tax returns with GM in certain jurisdictions. We continue to file separate returns in those state, local and foreign taxing jurisdictions where filing a separate return is required. Prior to October 1, 2010, we filed income tax returns with the U.S. federal government and with various state, local and foreign jurisdictions. Our federal income tax returns for fiscal 2006 through 2010 were audited by the IRS and previously submitted to the Congressional Joint Committee on Taxation ("JCT") for review. Pursuant to a notice dated April 10, 2013, the JCT completed its review and took no exception to the conclusions reached by the IRS. The completion of the JCT review is reflected in the September 30, 2013 financial statements.
For taxable income recognized by us in any period beginning on or after October 1, 2010, we are obligated to pay GM for our share of the consolidated federal and state tax liabilities. Likewise, GM is obligated to reimburse us for the tax effects of net operating losses to the extent such losses could be carried back as if we had filed separate income tax returns. Amounts owed to GM for income taxes are accrued and recorded as a related party payable. Under our tax sharing arrangement with GM, amended effective April 1, 2013, payments for the tax years 2010 through 2014 are deferred for four years from their original due date, with the first payment due December 15, 2014. The total amount of deferral cannot exceed $1.0 billion. Any difference between the amounts paid under our tax sharing arrangement with GM and our separate return basis used for financial reporting purposes is reported in our condensed consolidated financial statements as additional paid-in capital. As of September 30, 2013, a cumulative difference of $1 million between the amounts to be paid under our tax sharing arrangement with GM and our separate return basis used for financial reporting purposes was reported in our condensed consolidated financial statements through additional paid-in capital. As of September 30, 2013, we have recorded related party taxes payable to GM in the amount of $598 million, representing the tax effects of income earned subsequent to the merger with GM.
Our effective income tax rate was 24.0% and 31.2% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 32.8% and 33.9% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013. Our effective income tax rate was 38.2% and 37.8% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012. The decrease in the effective income tax rate is primarily relateddue to the settlement of the IRS audit as well as the acquisition of the international operations, which resulted in income in jurisdictions with lower tax rates and other permanent differences; these decreases were offset by the tax effects of certain non-deductible transaction costs.settlements within various jurisdictions.
Note 12.11.Fair ValueValues of Financial Instruments
Fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques in cases where quoted market prices are not available. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and the estimated timing and amount of future cash flows. Therefore, the estimates of fair value may differ substantially from amounts that ultimately may be realized or paid at settlement or maturity of the financial instruments and those differences may be material. Disclosures about fair value of financial instruments exclude certain financial instruments and all non-financial instruments. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented do not represent the underlying value of our company.

(b)The fair value of the consumer finance receivables in the North America Segment is estimated based upon forecasted cash flows on the receivables discounted using a pre-tax weighted average cost of capital. The fair value of the consumer finance receivables in the International Segment is estimated based on forecasted cash flows on the receivables discounted using current origination rates for similar type loans. Substantially all commercialCommercial finance receivables eithergenerally have variable interest rates and maturities of one year or less, or were acquired or funded within the last year.less. Therefore, the carrying value is considered to be a reasonable estimate of fair value.
(c)The fair values of the interest rate swap agreements are estimated by discounting future net cash flows expected to be settled using current risk-adjusted rates.
(d)The fair values of the interest rate cap agreements and foreign exchangecurrency swap agreements are based on quoted market prices.
(e)Secured debt in the North America Segment is comprised of revolving credit facilities, publicly-issued secured debt, and privately-issued secured debt. For revolving credit facilities with variable rates of interest and terms of one year or less, carrying value is considered to be a reasonable estimate of fair value. The fair value of the publicly and privately issued secured term debt is based on quoted market prices, when available. If quoted market prices are not available, the market value is estimated using quoted market prices of similar securities.

The fair value of our consumer finance receivables is based on observable and unobservable inputs within a discounted cash flow model. Those unobservable inputs reflect assumptions regarding expected prepayments, deferrals, delinquencies, recoveries and charge-offs of the loans within the portfolio. The cash flow model produces an estimated amortization schedule of the finance

receivables which is the basis for the calculation of the series of cash flows that derive the fair value of the portfolio. For the North America Segment, the series of cash flows is calculated and discounted using a weighted average cost of capital using unobservable debt and equity percentages, an unobservable cost of equity and an observable cost of debt based on companies with a similar credit rating and maturity profile. For the International Segment, the series of cash flows is calculated and discounted using current interest rates. Macroeconomic factors could affect the credit performance of our portfolio and therefore could potentially impact the assumptions used in our cash flow model.
Note 13.12.Segment Reporting

We offer substantially similar products and services throughout many different regions, subject to local regulations and market conditions. We evaluate our business in reporting segments based on geographic regions:two operating segments: the North America Segment (consisting of operations in the United StatesU.S. and Canada) and the International Segment (consisting of operations in all other countries). Our chief operating decision maker evaluates the operating results and performance of our business based on these reportingoperating segments. The management of each segment is responsible for executing our strategies.

For segment reporting purposes only, interest expense related to the senior unsecured notes has been allocated based on targeted leverage for each segment. Interest expense on senior debt in excess of the targeted overall leverage is reflected in the “Corporate”"Corporate" column below. In addition, the interest revenueincome on $1.5$1.7 billion in intercompany loans provided to the international operations is presented as revenue in the “Corporate”"Corporate" column below.as revenue.
All inter-segment balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Note 15.14.Regulatory Capital and Other Regulatory Matters
The International Segment includes the operations of certain stand-alone entities that operate in local markets as either banks or regulated finance companies andthat are subject to regulatory restrictions. These regulatory restrictions, among other things, require that these entities meet certain minimum capital requirements and may restrict dividend distributions and ownership of certain assets.
We were in compliance with all regulatory requirements at September 30, 2014. Total assets of our regulated international banks and finance companies were approximately $7.3$11.4 billion and $12.1 billion at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.
Note 16.Subsequent Event
On October 1, 2013, we completed the acquisition of Ally Financial's auto finance operations in Brazil. We paid $611 million, subject to certain closing adjustments, to acquire this business.
We will record the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed on October 1, 2013, the date we obtained control of the operations, and include the results of their operations and cash flows in our condensed consolidated financial statements from that date forward.
The following table summarizes certain pro forma financial information for us and the acquired entities that closed on October 1, 2013, had these acquisitions occurred on January 1, 2012 (in millions):
  Supplemental Pro Forma - Combined

Net income $188

It is not possible to reasonably estimate the nature and amount of any potential goodwill or the value of identifiable intangible assets at this time because the valuation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed was not completed at the date of the issuance of our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Note 17.15.Guarantor Consolidating Financial Statements
The payment of principal and interest on senior notes issued by our top-tier holding company is currently guaranteed solely by AFSI (the "Guarantor") and none of our other subsidiaries (the "Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries"). The separate financial statements of the Guarantor are not included herein because the Guarantor is a 100% owned consolidated subsidiary and is unconditionally liable for the obligations represented by the senior notes.
The consolidating financial statements present consolidating financial data for (i) General Motors Financial Company, Inc. (on a parent only basis), (ii) the Guarantor, (iii) the combined Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries, (iv) an elimination column for adjustments to arrive at the information for the parent company and our subsidiaries on a consolidated basis and (v) the parent company and

26


our subsidiaries on a consolidated basis as ofat September 30, 20132014 and December 31, 2012,2013, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 20132014 and 2012.2013.
Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for by the parent company using the equity method for purposes of this presentation. Results of operations of subsidiaries are therefore reflected in the parent company's investment accounts and earnings. The principal elimination entries set forth below eliminate investments in subsidiaries and intercompany balances and transactions.

GENERAL
GM Financial isWe are a global provider of automobile finance solutions, and we operate in the market as the wholly-owned captive finance subsidiary of our parent, GM. As a result of the acquisition of the international operations, weWe conduct our business generally in two segments, in North America and internationally in Europe and Latin America. The North America Segment includes operations in the United StatesU.S. and Canada. The International Segment includes operations in Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Mexico, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom, and, beginning on October 1, 2013, Brazil. Upon the closing of the acquisition of the remaining portion of the international operationsU.K. Additionally, we will conduct business in China (through anhave agreed to acquire Ally Financial's non-controlling 40% equity interest in GMAC-SAIC)GMAC-SAIC Automotive Finance Company Limited ("GMAC-SAIC"), a joint venture, which conducts auto finance operations in China. This agreement is subject to certain regulatory and thisother approvals. We consider it probable that our acquisition of Ally Financial's interest in GMAC-SAIC will be includedoccur in our International Segment.late 2014 or as soon as practicable thereafter.
North America Operations
Consumer
Our automobile finance programs in the North America Segment include sub-prime lending and full credit spectrum leasing.leasing and, more recently, prime lending, offered through GM-franchised dealers under the "GM Financial" brand. We also offer sub-prime lending, through other manufacturer-franchised and independent dealers under the "AmeriCredit" brand. Our sub-prime lending program is designed to serve customers who have limited access to automobile financing through banks and credit unions. Our typical borrowers have experienced prior credit difficulties or have limited credit histories and generally have credit bureau scores ranging from 500 to 700. We generally charge higher rates than those charged by banks and credit unions and we also expect to sustain a higher level of defaults than these other automobile financing sources.
Our full spectrum leasing product is offeredWe are currently seeking to expand our prime lending programs through GM-franchised dealers in North America and targetsanticipate that prime lending will become an increasing percentage of our originations and sub-prime consumers leasing new GM vehicles. We seek to provide competitive alternatives to existing marketplace lease offerings in GM-franchised dealers.consumer portfolio balance over time.
As a primarily indirect auto finance provider, weWe focus our marketing activities on automobile dealerships. We are selective in choosing the dealers with whom we conduct business and primarily pursue GM and non-GM manufacturer-franchised dealerships with new and used car operations andoperations; however, we also conduct business with a limited number of independent dealerships. We generally finance new GM vehicles, moderately-priced new vehicles from other manufacturers, and later-model, low-mileage used vehicles.
Our leasing product is offered through GM-franchised dealers and primarily targets prime consumers leasing new GM vehicles. We seek to provide competitive alternatives to existing marketplace lease offerings in GM-franchised dealers.
Our origination platform provides specialized focus on marketing our financing programs and underwriting loans and leases. Responsibilities are segregated so that the sales group markets our programs and products to our dealer customers, while the underwriting group focuses on underwriting, negotiating and closing loans and leases. In the United StatesU.S. our sales and underwriting groups are further segregated with separate teams servicing GM dealers and non-GM dealers, allowing us to continue efficient service for our non-GM dealers under the "AmeriCredit" brand while providing GM-franchised dealers the broader loan, lease and commercial lending products we offer under the "GM Financial" brand.
We utilize a proprietary credit scoring system to support the credit approval process. The credit scoring system was developed through statistical analysis of our consumer demographic and portfolio databases consisting of data which we have collected in more than 20 years of operating history. Credit scoring is used to differentiate credit applications and to statistically rank-order credit risk in terms of expected default rates, which enables us to evaluate credit applications for approval and tailor contract pricing and structure. In addition to our proprietary credit scoring system, we utilize other underwriting guidelines in our underwriting process to help us further evaluate the credit risk of our consumer financing activities.
Our servicing activities include collecting and processing customer payments, responding to customer inquiries, initiating contact with customers who are delinquent, maintaining the security interests in the financed vehicles, monitoring physical damage insurance coverage of the financed vehicles, and arranging for the repossession of financed vehicles, liquidation of collateral and pursuit of deficiencies when appropriate. Our servicing activities also include managing an end-of-term process for consumers purchasing or returning leased vehicles.
Commercial
In April 2012 and March 2013, we launched our U.S. and Canadian commercial lending platforms to further support our GM-franchised dealerships and their affiliates. Our commercial lending offerings target GM-franchised dealers and affiliated non-GM franchised dealers and consist of loans to finance the purchase of vehicle inventory, also known as wholesale or floorplan financing, as well as dealer loans, which

30


are loans to finance improvements to dealership facilities, to provide working capital and to purchase and/or finance dealership real estate.
Each dealer is assigned a risk rating based on various factors, including, but not limited to, collateral analysis, capital sufficiency, operating performance, financial outlook and credit and payment history, if available. The risk rating indicates the pricing for and guides the management of the account. We monitor the level of borrowing under each dealer's account daily. Our commercial loan

servicing activities include dealership customer service, account maintenance, exception processing, credit line monitoring and adjustment and insurance monitoring.
International Operations
Consumer
We primarily employ an indirect-to-consumer model similar to the one we use in the North America Segment. Our consumer lending programs focus on financing prime quality consumers purchasing new GM vehicles. In many of the countries in which we operate, we also offer financial leases and a lease/retail hybrid product that includes a balloon payment at expiration, at which time the consumer may elect to make the payment, refinance or return the vehicle. Additionally, we recently began to offer an operating lease product in select markets. We also offer finance-related insurance products through third parties, such as credit life, gap and extended warranty coverage. We finance primarily new automobiles, although we also finance used automobiles. In most of the countries in which we operate, similar to our underwriting process in the North America Segment, we utilize a proprietary credit scoring system to differentiate consumer credit applications and to statistically rank-order credit risk in terms of expected default rates, which enables us to evaluate credit applications for approval and tailor loan and lease pricing and structure.
Our servicing activities include collecting and processing customer payments, responding to customer inquiries, initiating contact with customers who are delinquent, maintaining the security interest in the financed vehicle, monitoring physical damage insurance coverage of the financed vehicle, and arranging for the repossession of financed vehicles, liquidation of collateral and pursuit of deficiencies when appropriate.
Commercial
Commercial products offered primarily to dealer customersGM-franchised dealers include new and used vehicle inventory financing, inventory insurance, working capital and capital improvement loans. Other commercial products include fleet financing and storage center financing. In addition, we provide training to dealer employees to help them maximize the value of these finance and insurance products. We utilize a proprietary underwriting system for commercial lending that has been refined through decades of experience in managing economic cycles. This process involves assigning a risk rating to each dealer based on our due diligence of various factors, including, but not limited to, collateral analysis, capital sufficiency, operating performance, financial outlook and credit and payment history, if available. The underwriting processes are performed in commercial lending centers located in Mexico, Brazil and Germany, the management of which operates independently of in-country sales and servicing operations. Our commercial loan servicing activities include dealership customer service, account maintenance and monitoring, exception processing, credit line monitoring and adjustment and insurance monitoring.
Financing
We primarily finance our loan, lease and commercial origination volume through the use of our secured and unsecured bank lines, through public and private securitization transactions where such markets are developed, through the issuance of senior notes and to a lesser extent in Latin America, through public financing programsmarkets including the issuance of commercial paper and other financing programs. Additionally, in Europe, a portion of our operations are funded through an intercompany loan to our European entities.
We seek to fund our international operations through local sources of funding to minimize currency and country risk. As such, the mix of funding sources varies from country to country, based on the characteristics of our receivables and the relative development of debt capital and securitization markets in each country. Our Latin American operations are entirely funded locally. Our European operations obtain most of their funding from local sources, but also borrow funds from affiliated companies.
In addition to our bank lines and securitization programs, GM provides us with financial resources through a tax sharing agreement, which effectively defers up to $1.0 billion in income taxes that we would otherwise be required to pay to GM over time, and through thea $1.0 billion unsecured intercompany revolving credit facility (the "Junior Subordinated Revolving Credit Facility"), which replaced an existing $600 million intercompany credit facility with GM.
In October 2014, GM Related Party Credit Facility.amended its two primary unsecured revolving credit facilities, increasing GM's aggregate borrowing capacity from $11.0 billion to $12.5 billion. These facilities consist of a three-year, $5.0 billion facility and a five-year, $7.5 billion facility.

Additionally, we

Our borrowings under this facilityGM's facilities are limited by GM's ability to alsoborrow the entire amount available under the facilities. Therefore, we may be able to borrow up to $4.0 billion in total or may be unable to borrow depending on GM's borrowing activity. If we do borrow under the facility. If we borrow under this facility,these facilities, we expect such borrowings would be short-term in nature and, except in extraordinary circumstances, would not be used to fund our operating activities in the ordinary course of business. Neither we, nor any of our subsidiaries, guarantee any obligations under these facilities and none of our or our subsidiaries' assets secure these facilities.

AverageIn the North America Segment, average consumer finance receivables increased $781$945 million from September 30, 2012 to September 30, 2013, to September 30, 2014, primarily because loan originations for the past twelve months exceeded portfolio liquidationliquidations through payments and defaults. We purchased $1.3$2.0 billion and $1.5$1.3 billion of consumer finance receivables in the North America Segment for the three months ended September 30, 20132014 and 2012.2013. The average new consumer loan size increased to $21,55123,730 for the three months ended September 30, 20132014 from $21,482$21,551 for the three months ended September 30, 2012.2013. The average annual percentage rate for consumer finance receivables purchased during the three months ended September 30, 20132014 decreased to 13.5%11.0% from 13.9%13.5% duringfor the three months ended September 30, 2012,2013. The increase in average loan size and decrease in average annual percentage rate are both primarily due to pricing adjustments drivenhigher volumes of new car originations, which typically are for higher amounts, and have lower contractual rates due to the rate subvention support provided by lower costGM, as well as the introduction of funds.prime lending programs.
AverageIn the North America Segment, average commercial finance receivables increased $1.0$1.2 billion from September 30, 2012 to September 30, 2013, to September 30, 2014, primarily due to the continued ramp-up in business since the introduction of our commercial lending platform in April 2012 and dealer conquests and related origination growth in thatthe business since that time.
Average leased vehicles, net, increased $1.4$2.4 billion from September 30, 2012 to September 30, 2013. to September 30, 2014. We purchased $727 million1.7 billion and $299$727 million of leased vehicles for the three months ended September 30, 20132014 and 2012.2013. The increase in leased vehicles purchased was a result of GM's overall increased market penetration in leases andas well as an increase in our focus on achieving and maintaining a significant minority share of GM's lease business.
The increase in average finance receivables in the International Segment is primarily due to the addition of the consumer and commercial receivables portfolios in Brazil, which were acquired October 1, 2013, as well as growth in U.K. consumer finance receivables.

FinanceIn the North America Segment, finance charge income on consumer finance receivables increased by 2.7% to $426 millionwas flat for the three months ended September 30, 2013, from $415 million for2014, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2012, primarily due to2013. Increased finance charge income resulting from the7.3% increase in average consumer finance receivables was offset by a decrease in effective yield. The effective yield on our consumer finance receivables decreased to 14.8%13.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2014, from 14.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2013,, primarily due to a decrease in the average annual percentage rate on new originations as well as a reduced yield impact from 15.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2012.accretion on the pre-acquisition portfolio. The effective yield represents finance charges and fees recorded in earnings during the period as a percentage of average consumer finance receivables. The effective yield, as a percentage of average consumer finance receivables, is higher than the contractual rates of our auto finance contracts because the effective yield includes, in addition to the contractual rates and fees, the impact of rate subvention provided by GM, as well as the impact of excess cash flows transferred from non-accretable difference to accretable yield, which impact has decreased over time with the amortization of the pre-acquisition portfolio.

FinanceIn the North America Segment, finance charge income on consumer finance receivables increased by 7.3% to $1.3 billionwas flat for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, from $1.2 billion for2014, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012, primarily due to 2013. Increased finance charge income resulting from

the10.2% increase in average consumer finance receivables was offset by a decrease in effective yield. The effective yield on our consumer finance receivables decreased to 15.0%14.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, from 15.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013,, primarily due to a decrease in the average annual percentage rate on new originations as well as a reduced yield impact from 15.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.accretion on the pre-acquisition portfolio. The effective yield represents finance charges and fees recorded in earnings during the period as a percentage of average consumer finance receivables. The effective yield, as a percentage of average consumer finance receivables, is higher than the contractual rates of our auto finance contracts because the effective yield includes, in addition to the contractual rates and fees, the impact of rate subvention provided by GM, as well as the impact of excess cash flows transferred from non-accretable difference to accretable yield, which impact has decreased over time with the

The increase in revenue for the International Segment is primarily due to the acquisition of the majority of the international operations on April 1, 2013, and the operations in Brazil, which were acquired October 1, 2013.

Leased Vehicle Expenses
Leased vehicle expenses increased due to the increased size of the leased asset portfolio. Our leased vehicle expenses are predominantly related to depreciation of leased assets.
Provision for Loan lossesLosses

As an annualized percentage of average post-acquisition consumer finance receivables, the provision for loan losses was 3.6%3.7% and 3.7%3.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013. In the International Segment, the provision for consumer loan losses increased to $109 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 from $17 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, primarily due to the acquisition of the majority of the international operations on April 1, 2013, and 2012.the operations in Brazil, which were acquired October 1, 2013.

Interest Expense
Interest expense increased to $3002014 and $7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, from $2022013. In the International Segment, the provision was more than offset by the release of $11 million for in specific reserves against commercial loans to Chevrolet dealers in Europe.  The specific reserve was established following GM’s decision to discontinue the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The increase wasChevrolet brand in Europe; however, the related portfolio has been substantially repaid, with insignificant losses.

Taxes
Our consolidated effective income tax rate was 33.9% and 37.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.

CREDIT QUALITY
Consumer Finance Receivables
In the North America Segment, we primarily provide financing in relatively high-risk markets, and therefore anticipate a corresponding high level of delinquencies and charge-offs. In the International Segment, the consumer financing we provide is generally to borrowers with prime lendingcredit and considered lower-risk; therefore, we expect correspondingly lower levels of delinquencies and charge-offs.charge-offs than in our North America Segment.

Average amount of outstanding contract consists of pre-acquisition consumer finance receivables - outstanding balance and post-acquisition consumer finance receivables, net of fees, divided by number of outstanding contracts.
The allowance for loan losses for the North America Segment as a percentage of post-acquisition consumer finance receivables, net of fees, has increased due to normalizing credit trendswas consistent with slightly higher defaults and delinquencies.the level at December 31, 2013. The allowance for the acquired international receivables was eliminated in acquisition accounting at the acquisition dates. As a result, the allowance at September 30, 20132014 for the International Segment represents an estimate of losses inherent in only the receivables originated since the acquisition dates. The allowance for losses for the International Segment will grow over time as the post-acquisition loan balance grows. However, the allowance for losses for the International Segment is expected to be much less than that for the North America Segment due to the higher credit quality of its originations.

An account is considered delinquent if a substantial portion of a scheduled payment has not been received by the date such payment was contractually due. Delinquencies may vary from period to period based upon the average credit scores in the portfolio which reflects our underwriting strategies and risk tolerance, the average age or seasoning of the portfolio, seasonality within the

39


calendar year and economic factors. Our target customer base in the North America Segment is predominantly sub-prime; therefore, a relatively high percentage of accounts become delinquent at some point in the life of a loan and there is a high rate of account movement between current and delinquent status in the portfolio.
Delinquencies inthe North America Segment increased from 5.2%to 9.2% at September 30, 20122014 to 6.0%from 8.2% at September 30, 2013, consistent with a greater concentration of loans with lower average credit scores at September 30, 2013 and normalizing credit trends. Our customer base in the International Segment is primarily prime; therefore, delinquency levels are much lower.lower, with 1.9% and 1.2% in delinquencies at September 30, 2014 and 2013. The increase in delinquencies from September 30, 2013 is due to the acquisition of the international operations in Brazil.
Deferrals
Due to the lower-risk nature of the consumer base in the International Segment, it is unnecessary to offer deferrals as frequently as in the North America Segment, which leads to thean immaterial overall level of deferrals in the International Segment to be immaterial.Segment. Therefore, the following information regarding deferrals is presented for consumer finance receivables in the North America Segment only.
In accordance with our policies and guidelines, we, at times, offer payment deferrals to consumers, whereby the consumer is allowed to move up to two delinquent payments to the end of the loan generally by paying a fee (approximately the interest portion of the payment deferred, except where state law provides for a lesser amount). Our policies and guidelines limit the number and frequency of deferments that may be granted. Additionally, we generally limit the granting of deferments on new accounts until a requisite number of payments have been received.
Due to the nature of our consumer base in the North America Segment and policies and guidelines of the deferral program, which policies and guidelines have not changed materially in several years, approximately 50% to 60% of accounts historically comprising the consumer finance receivables in the North America Segment receive a deferral at some point in the life of the account.
An account for which all delinquent payments are deferred or paid in a deferment transaction is classified as current at the time the deferment is granted and therefore is not included as a delinquent account. Thereafter, such account is aged based on the timely payment of future installments in the same manner as any other account.
Contracts receiving a payment deferral as an average quarterly percentage of average consumer finance receivables outstanding were 6.7%6.6% and 5.7%6.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 and 20126.1% and 6.3% and 5.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 20132014 and 2012. The increase in deferrals correlates to the increase in delinquent consumer finance receivables in North America Segment, as discussed above.2013.

We evaluate the results of our deferment strategies based upon the amount of cash installments that are collected on accounts after they have been deferred versus the extent to which the collateral underlying the deferred accounts has depreciated over the same period of time. Based on this evaluation, we believe that payment deferrals granted according to our policies and guidelines are an effective portfolio management technique and result in higher ultimate cash collections from the portfolio.
Changes in deferment levels do not have a direct impact on the ultimate amount of consumer finance receivables charged off by us. However, the timing of a charge-off may be affected if the previously deferred account ultimately results in a charge-off. To the extent that deferrals impact the ultimate timing of when an account is charged off, historical charge-off ratios, loss confirmation periods and cash flow forecasts for loans classified as troubled debt restructurings ("TDRs")TDRs used in the determination of the adequacy of our allowance for loan losses are also impacted. Increased use of deferrals may result in a lengthening of the loss confirmation period, which would increase expectations of credit losses inherent in the portfolio and therefore increase the allowance for loan losses and related provision for loan losses. Changes in these ratios and periods are considered in determining the appropriate level of allowance for loan losses and related provision for loan losses.

(b)Mandatory credit losses represent accounts 120 days delinquent in the post-acquisition portfolio that are charged off in full, with no recovery amounts realized at time of charge-off, net of any subsequent recoveries as well as the net write-down of consumer finance receivables in repossession to the net realizable value of the repossessed vehicle when the repossessed vehicle is legally available for sale.
(c)Average consumer finance receivables are defined as the average daily receivable balance excluding the carrying value adjustment.
While the accounting related to charge-offs has been impacted by the application of acquisition accounting related to acquisitions, the dollar amount and percentage of net credit losses is comparable between the pre-acquisition and the post-acquisition portfolios. Net credit losses as a percentage of average consumer finance receivables outstanding may vary from period to period based upon the average credit scores in the portfolio which reflects our underwriting strategies and risk tolerance, the average age or seasoning of the portfolio and economic conditions.

Commercial finance receivables are assessed for impairment and any required allowance for credit losses is recorded based on the present value of the expected future cash flows of the receivable discounted at the loan's original effective interest rate. For receivables where foreclosure is probable, the fair value of the collateral is used to estimate the specific impairment. At September 30, 20132014, and December 31, 2013, there were no outstanding commercial finance receivables classified as TDRs.
There were no charge-offs of commercial finance receivables duringfor the three or nine months ended September 30, 2013. The accrual of finance charge income has been suspended on $2 million of commercial finance receivables (based on contractual amount due) as of September 30, 2013.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
General
Our primary sources of cash are finance charge income, leasing income, servicing fees, net distributions from secured debt borrowings underfacilities, including securitizations, secured and unsecured debt,borrowings and collections and recoveries on finance receivables and issuances of senior notes.receivables. Our primary uses of cash are purchases of consumer finance receivables and leased vehicles, the funding of commercial finance receivables, acquisitions,funding credit enhancement requirements in connection with securitizations and secured facilities, repayment of secured and unsecured debt, funding credit enhancement requirements for secured facilities, operating expenses, interest costs, capital expenditures and interest costs.business acquisitions.
We used cash of $6.3$10.9 billion and $4.4$6.3 billion for the purchase of consumer finance receivables duringfor the nine months ended September 30, 20132014 and 2012.2013. We used cash of $1.73.2 billion and $857 million1.7 billion for the purchase of leased vehicles duringfor the nine months ended September 30, 20132014 and 20122013. We used cash of . These purchases$0.4 billion and fundings$0.6 billion for the funding of commercial finance receivables, net of collections, for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013. We used cash of $3.5 billion for the acquisition of the international operations and repayment of debt to Ally Financial for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.
In the North America Segment, our purchase and funding of finance receivables and lease vehicles were financed initially utilizing cash and borrowings on our secured and unsecured credit facilities. Subsequently, our strategy is to obtain long-term financing for consumer and commercial finance receivables and leased vehicles through securitization transactions most notably inand the U.S.liquidity generated by the issuance of senior notes.
In the International Segment, our purchase and Canada, but also infunding of finance receivables are typically financed with borrowings on secured and unsecured credit facilities. In certain other countries where the debt capital and securitization markets are sufficiently developed, such as in Germany and the United Kingdom.U.K., we obtain permanent financing through securitization transactions. In addition, in September 2014, we established a euro medium term note program, registered on the Irish Stock Exchange, allowing us to raise unsecured debt in the international capital markets through the issuance of notes with different maturities and in different currencies.

Includes $665 million and $659 million in unrestricted cash outside of the U.S. at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. This cash is considered to be indefinitely invested based on specific plans for reinvestment of these earnings.
The increase in available liquidity is primarily due primarily to the following: (i) the issuance of $2.5$3.9 billion in senior notes in the nine months ended September 30, 2014. In addition, in September 2014, we and GM entered into the Support Agreement which, among other things, contains certain provisions intended to ensure that we maintain adequate access to liquidity. Pursuant to these provisions, GM provided us with the $1.0 billion unsecured notes, (ii) a capital contribution fromintercompany Junior Subordinated Revolving Credit Facility, which replaced an existing $600 million credit facility with GM.
In October 2014, GM of $1.3 billion, (iii) the addition of $970 million in cash andamended its two primary unsecured revolving credit facilities, increasing GM's aggregate borrowing capacity availablefrom $11.0 billion to the international operations, (iv) the addition$12.5 billion.

Our borrowings under the facilityGM's facilities are limited by GM's ability to borrow the entire amount available under the facility.facilities. Therefore, we may be able to borrow up to $4.0 billion in total or may be unable to borrow depending on GM's borrowing activity. If we do borrow under the facilitythese facilities, we expect such borrowings would be short-term in nature and, except in extraordinary circumstances, would not be used to fund our operating activities in the ordinary course of business. Neither we, nor any of our subsidiaries, guarantee any obligations under this facilitythese facilities and none of our subsidiaries' assets secure this facility.these facilities. Liquidity available to us under the GM unsecured revolving credit facilities is not included in the table above.

Credit Facilities
In the normal course of business, in addition to using our available cash, we utilize borrowings under our credit facilities, which may be secured andor structured as securitizations, or may be unsecured, and we repay these borrowings as appropriate under our cash management strategy.
As of At September 30, 2013,2014, credit facilities consist of the following (in millions):

(a)Includes revolving credit facilities backed by consumer finance receivables and leases.
(b)Includes revolving credit facilities backed by loans to dealers primarily for floorplan financing.
(c)The financial institutions providing the uncommitted facilities are not contractually obligated to advance funds under them; therefore, we do not include available capacity on these facilities in our liquidity. We had $455$521 million in unused borrowing capacity on these facilities as ofat September 30, 2013.2014.
See Note 65 - "Debt" to our condensed consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q for further discussion of the terms of our revolving credit facilities.
We are required to hold certain funds in restricted cash accounts to provide additional collateral for borrowings under certain of our
secured credit facilities. Additionally, our secured credit facilities contain various covenants requiring minimum financial ratios, asset quality and portfolio performance ratios (portfolio net loss and delinquency ratios, and pool level cumulative net loss ratios) as well as limits on deferment levels. Failure to meet any of these covenants could result in an event of default under these agreements. If an event of default occurs under these agreements, the lenders could elect to declare all amounts outstanding under these agreements to be immediately due and payable, enforce their interests against collateral pledged under these agreements, restrict our ability to obtain additional borrowings under these agreements and/or remove us as servicer. As of September 30, 2013,2014, we were in compliance with all covenants inrelated to our credit facilities.
Term FinancingSecuritization Notes Payable
We seek to finance our consumer and commercial finance receivables and leases through public and private term securitization transactions, most notably in the U.S. and Canada, but also in certain other countries where the debt capital and securitization markets are sufficiently developed, such as in the U.S., Canada, Germany and the United Kingdom.U.K. The proceeds from the transactions were primarily used to repay borrowings outstanding under our revolving credit facilities.

Senior Notes and Other Unsecured Debt
We also access the public capital markets through the issuance of unsecured debt. In the North America Segment, we periodically issue senior unsecured notes. At September 30, 2014 we had $7.9 billion in senior unsecured notes outstanding.
In the International Segment, particularly in Latin America, we issue other unsecured debt through commercial paper offerings and other non-bank funding instruments. At September 30, 2014 we had $767 million of this type of unsecured debt outstanding.
In October 2014, a European subsidiary issued €500 million of 1.875% notes under its euro medium term notes program, which are listed on the Irish Stock Exchange. These notes are due in October 2019 with interest payable annually. These notes are guaranteed by our top-tier holding company and by AFSI. We intend to use the net proceeds for general corporate purposes.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This report contains several "forward-looking statements." Forward-looking statements are those that use words such as "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "intend," "plan," "may," "likely," "should," "estimate," "continue," "future" and/or other comparable expressions. These words indicate future events and trends. Forward-looking statements are our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. These forward-looking statements are subject to many assumptions, risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ significantly from historical results or from those anticipated by us. The most significant risks are detailed from time to time in our filings and reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission, ("the Commission"), including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.2013. It is advisable not to place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to, and do not, publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, except as required by federal securities laws, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
The following factors are among those that may cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or from the forward-looking statements:
our ability to close the acquisition of Ally Financial's equity interest in GMAC-SAIC and integrate the international operations into ouroperate that business successfully;
changes in general economic and business conditions;
GM's ability to sell new vehicles that we finance in the markets we serve in North America, Europe and Latin America that we finance;America;
interest rate and currency fluctuations;
our financial condition and liquidity, as well as future cash flows and earnings;
competition;
the effect, interpretation or application of new or existing laws, regulations, court decisions and accounting pronouncements;

45


the availability of sources of financing;
the level of net charge-offs, delinquencies and prepayments on the loans and leases we originate;
the viability of GM-franchised dealers that are commercial loan customers;
the prices at which used cars are sold in the wholesale auction markets; and
changes in business strategy, including acquisitions and expansion of product lines and credit risk appetite.
If one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or if underlying assumptions prove incorrect, our actual results may vary materially from those expected, estimated or projected.

Item 3.QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
There have been no significant changes in our exposure to interest rate risk since December 31, 2012.2013. See Item 7A - "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk" in our Form 10-K.
Item 4.CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensureprovide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports we filefiled under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Exchange Act"), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the specified time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms. Such controls include those designed to ensure that information for disclosure isaccumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
The CEO and CFO, with the participation of management, have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act) at September 30, 2013.2014. Based on theirthis evaluation they haverequired by paragraph (b) of Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15, our CEO and CFO concluded that theour disclosure controls and procedures are effective.were effective at September 30, 2014.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
On April 1, 2013, we acquired all of Ally Financial's auto finance and financial services operations in Germany, the United Kingdom, Italy, Sweden, Switzerland, Austria, Belgium, the Netherlands, Greece, Spain, Chile, Colombia and Mexico. On June 1, 2013, we acquired Ally Financial's auto finance and financial services operations in France and Portugal. These operations collectively represent a change that may have materially affected our internal control over financial reporting during the periods ended September 30, 2013. We have extended our oversight and monitoring processes that support our internal control over financial reporting to include the international operations. We are currently in the process of integrating the internal controls and procedures of the international operations, including a preliminary assessment of internal controls over financial reporting, with our North American operations, which may materially affect our internal control over financial reporting. We expect to exclude the international operations from our December 31, 2013 assessment of and report on internal control over financial reporting, but we expect to perform an assessment of and report on internal control over financial reporting of all of the operations of the combined company as of December 31, 2014. Other than the operations acquired, there have beenThere were no other changes made in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the three monthsquarter ended September 30, 2013,2014, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
Limitations Inherent in all Controls
Our management, including the CEO and CFO, recognize that the disclosure controls and internal controls (discussed above) cannot prevent all errors or all attempts at fraud. Any controls system, no matter how well crafted and operated, can only provide reasonable, and not absolute, assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Because of the inherent limitations in any control system, no evaluation or implementation of a control system can provide complete assurance that all control issues and all possible instances of fraud have been or will be detected.

Item 1.Legal Proceedings
There are no material updatesIn July 2014, in connection with an investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice in contemplation of a civil proceeding for potential violations of the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989, we were served with a subpoena by the U.S. Department of Justice directing us to produce certain documents relating to our and our subsidiaries’ and affiliates’ origination and securitization of subprime automobile loans since 2007. Among other matters, the subpoena requests information relating to the legalunderwriting criteria used to originate these automobile loans and the representations and warranties relating to those underwriting criteria that were made in connection with the securitization of the automobile loans. In September 2014, we were served with additional investigative subpoenas to produce documents from state attorneys general and other governmental offices relating to our subprime auto finance business and securitization of subprime auto loans.  We are investigating these matters internally and believe we are cooperating with all requests.  Such investigations could in the future result in the imposition of damages, fines or civil or criminal claims and/or penalties. No assurance can be given that the ultimate outcome of the investigations or any resulting proceedings described inwould not materially and adversely affect us or any of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.subsidiaries and affiliates.

Item 1A.Risk Factors

46


The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently believe to be immaterial also may adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results. This section updates our risk factors as stated in our Annual Report in Form 10-K to reflect material developments since our Form 10-K was filed.
On April 1, 2013, we completed a transaction under which we acquired Ally Financial's equity interests in its top-level holding companies that comprise substantially all of Ally Financial's auto finance and financial services business in Europe other than in France and Portugal and Latin America other than Brazil, pursuant to the Purchase and Sale Agreement entered into on November 21, 2012.  On June 1, 2013 we completed the acquisition of Ally Financial's auto finance and financial services business in France and Portugal. On October 1, 2013, we completed the acquisition of Ally Financial's auto finance and financial services business in Brazil. As a result of these transactions, we now haveOur operations outside of North America and these operations are exposed to additional risks that could affect them such as the following:
multiple foreign regulatory requirements that are subject to change;regulation, supervision and licensing under various statutes, ordinances and regulations.
difficultyAs an entity operating in establishing, staffingthe financial services sector, we are required to comply with a wide variety of laws and managing foreign operations;
differing labor regulations;
consequences from changes in tax laws;
restrictions on theregulations that may be costly to adhere to and may affect both our operating results and our ability to repatriate profits or transfer cash into or out of foreign countriesservice our earning assets. Compliance with these laws and regulations requires that we maintain forms, processes, procedures, controls and the tax consequencesinfrastructure to support these requirements and these laws and regulations often create operational constraints both on our ability to implement servicing procedures and on pricing. Laws in the financial services industry are designed primarily for the protection of consumers. The failure to comply with these laws could result in significant statutory civil and criminal penalties for us, monetary damages, attorneys’ fees and costs, possible revocation of licenses and damage to reputation, brand and valued customer relationships.
In July 2010, President Obama signed into law the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the "Dodd-Frank Act"). The Dodd-Frank Act is extensive and significant legislation that, among other things, strengthens the regulatory oversight of securities and capital markets activities by the SEC and increases the regulation of the securitization markets. The various requirements of the Dodd-Frank Act may substantially impact the origination, servicing and securitization program of our subsidiaries.
The Dodd-Frank Act also created the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ("CFPB"), a federal agency that has extensive rulemaking and enforcement authority and that began operating in 2011. The CFPB and the Federal Trade Commission ("FTC") have recently become more active in investigating the products, services and operations of credit providers, including banks and other finance companies engaged in auto finance activities, such as us. The CFPB has recently indicated an intention to review the actions of indirect auto finance companies such as us with regard to pricing activities and issued a bulletin to such lenders on how to limit fair lending risk under the Equal Credit Opportunity Act. In September 2014, the CFPB proposed supervising the largest nonbank auto lenders such as us, which is the initial step that is expected to lead to examinations of such repatriationsnonbank auto lenders as early as 2015. Gaining supervisory power over nonbank lenders such as us will allow the agency to conduct comprehensive and transfers;rigorous on-site examinations that could result in enforcement actions, fines, and
devaluations mandated process, procedure or product-related changes or consumer refunds if violations of law or unfair lending practices are found. Both the FTC and the CFPB have announced various enforcement actions against lenders beginning in currencies.2012 involving significant penalties, cease and desist orders, and similar remedies that, if applicable to auto finance providers and to products, services and operations of the nature offered by us, may require us to cease or alter certain business practices, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
In addition,July 2014, in connection with an investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice in contemplation of a civil proceeding for potential violations of the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989, we were served with a subpoena by the U.S. Department of Justice directing us to produce certain documents relating to our and our subsidiaries’ and affiliates’ origination and securitization of subprime automobile loans since 2007. Among other matters, the subpoena requests information relating to the underwriting criteria used to originate these automobile loans and the representations and warranties relating to those underwriting criteria that were made in connection with the May 2013 offeringsecuritization of senior notes,the automobile loans. In September 2014, we describedwere served with additional risks as set forth on Exhibit 99.3investigative subpoenas to produce documents from state attorneys general and other governmental offices relating to our subprime auto finance business and securitization of subprime auto loans.  We are investigating these matters internally and believe we are cooperating with all requests.  Such investigations could in the Current Report on Form 8-K datedfuture result in the imposition of damages, fines or civil or criminal claims and/or penalties. No assurance can be given that the ultimate outcome of the investigations or any resulting proceedings would not materially and filed on May 6, 2013,adversely affect us or any of our subsidiaries and incorporated herein by reference.affiliates.
