Discussion of Results | ||||||
Fourth Quarter
Net income attributable to common shareholders decreased $63 million versus the prior year quarter to $624 million, as lower other revenue, higher provision for credit losses due to the acquisition of FSF and higher noninterest expenses more than offset higher net financing revenue.
Net financing revenue increased $351 million versus the prior year quarter, due to lower funding costs, the deployment of excess liquidity into higher earning assets and reduced premium amortization.
Other revenue decreased $133 million versus the prior-year quarter, including a $21 million increase in the fair value of equity securities in the quarter, compared to a $111 million increase in the fair value of equity securities in the prior-year quarter. Other revenue, excluding the change in fair value of equity securitiesA, decreased $33 million YoY, primarily driven by realized gains on the sale of legacy mortgage loans in the prior-year period and normalized gain-on-sale margins within Ally Home.
Fourth quarter NIM of 3.80%, including Core OIDB of 2 bps, increased 90 bps YoY. Excluding Core OIDB, NIM was 3.82%, up 90 bps YoY, due to lower deposit costs, deployment of excess liquidity and lower premium amortization.
Provision for credit losses increased $108 million to $210 million compared to the prior-year quarter, as Day 1 impacts from the acquisition of FSF and reserve build to support organic asset growth more than offset lower net charge-offs. Adjusted provision expenseB, excluding Day 1 impacts from FSF, increased $11 million to $113 million compared to the prior year quarter, as asset growth was partially offset by lower net charge offs and a reduction in the retail auto coverage rate.
Noninterest expense increased $67 million YoY, as continued spend supporting Ally’s brand, technology and business initiatives along with deal-related costs from the FSF acquisition were partially offset due to legal reserve build in the prior-year period that did not repeat.
Full-Year 2021
Net income attributable to common shareholders was $3.0 billion in 2021, compared to $1.1 billion in 2020, as higher net financing revenue and lower provision for credit losses were partially offset by higher noninterest expense.
Net financing revenue improved to $6.2 billion, up $1.5 billion from the prior year, driven by lower deposit costs, strategic liability management, higher gains on off-lease vehicles and higher retail auto revenue.
Full year NIM was 3.54%, including Core OIDB of 2 bps, up 89 bps YoY. Excluding Core OIDB, NIM was 3.56%, up 89 bps YoY.
Provision for credit losses decreased $1,198 million over the prior year, due to the impact of COVID-19 pandemic-related reserve build in 2020 as well as lower retail auto net charge-off activity.
Other revenue was up $56 million YoY, including a $7 million decrease in the fair value of equity securities in the year, compared to a $29 million increase in the fair value of equity securities in 2020. Other revenue, excluding the impact of the change in fair value of equity securitiesA, was up $223 million at $2.2 billion, reflecting strong realized gain activity and momentum across Ally’s diversified product offerings.
Noninterest expense increased $277 million over the prior year, largely due to increased investments within Ally’s growing businesses, brand and technology. |
AAdjusted other revenue is a non-GAAP financial measure. Equity fair value adjustments related to ASU 2016-01 requires change in the fair value of equity securities to be recognized in current period net income as compared to periods prior to 1/1/18 in which such adjustments were recognized through other comprehensive income, a component of equity.

Auto Finance
Pre-tax income in the fourth quarter of $839 million was up $276 million versus the prior-year quarter, due to higher net financing revenue, lower provision for credit losses and lower noninterest expense.
Net financing revenue of $1.3 billion was $188 million higher YoY as higher retail auto revenue was partially offset by lower commercial auto portfolio balances. Ally’s retail auto portfolio yield, excluding the impact of hedges, decreased 2 bps YoY to 6.81% in the fourth quarter due to the impact of elevated prepayment activity.
Provision for credit losses totaled $45 million, down $41 million YoY, due to lower retail auto net charge-offs as well as a reduction in reserve levels, reflecting strong consumer and commercial performance and improved economic trends. The fourth quarter retail auto net charge-off rate of 0.48% decreased 53 bps YoY.
Consumer auto originations in the fourth quarter increased to $10.9 billion from $9.1 billion in the prior-year period, which included $7.0 billion of used retail volume, or 64% of total originations, $3.0 billion of new retail volume, and $0.9 billion of leases. Estimated retail auto originated yieldC in the quarter was 6.97%.
Full-year 2021 pre-tax income of $3.4 billion was up $2.1 billion due to lower provision for credit losses and higher net financing revenue.
Consumer originations increased $11.1 billion in 2021 to $46.3 billion, with used volume of $27.7 billion, or 60% of total 2021 originations, $13.1 billion of new retail volume and $5.4 billion of leases. Estimated retail auto originated yieldC was 7.10% in 2021 compared to 7.01% in 2020 and exceeded 7% for the fourth consecutive year.
End-of-period auto earning assets decreased $1.0 billion YoY from $106.2 billion to $105.2 billion, as an increase in consumer auto earning assets was more than offset by a decline in commercial earning assets. End-of-period consumer auto earning assets were up $6.1 billion YoY, driven by growth in both retail loans and operating lease assets. End-of-period commercial earning assets of $16.1 billion were down $7.1 billion YoY, driven by industry-wide vehicle inventory declines.
Insurance
Pre-tax income in the fourth quarter of $91 million declined $92 million versus the prior-year period, primarily due to a $24 million increase in the fair value of equity securitiesD during the fourth quarter compared to a $111 million increase in the fair value of equity securitiesD in the prior-year period. Core pre-tax incomeE was $67 million in the quarter, down $5 million from the prior-year period, as lower underwriting income was mostly offset by higher investment income.
Quarterly written premiums were $268 million, down $44 million YoY, driven by lower dealer inventory levels and light vehicle sales. Total investment income was $47 million, up $19 million YoY, excluding an $24 million increase in the fair value of equity securities during the quarterD, driven by higher realized investment gains.
Full-year 2021 pre-tax income was $343 million, up $59 million versus the prior year, as lower weather losses were partially offset by changes in the fair value of equity securities in 2021 relative to changes in 2020. Core pre-tax incomeE for 2021 was $353 million, up from $253 million in 2020, as lower weather losses, higher realized gains from the investment securities portfolio and higher earned premiums from F&I products, were partially offset by higher operating expenses and lower earned premiums from vehicle inventory insurance.

In the numerator of Adjusted EPS, GAAP net income attributable to common shareholders is adjusted for the following items: (1) excludes discontinued operations, net of tax, as Ally is primarily a domestic company and sales of international businesses and other discontinued operations in the past have significantly impacted GAAP EPS, (2) adds back the tax-effected non-cash Core OID, (3) adjusts for tax-effected repositioning and other which are primarily related to the extinguishment of high cost legacy debt, strategic activities and significant other one-time items, (4) excludes equity fair value adjustments (net of tax) related to ASU 2016-01 which requires change in the fair value of equity securities to be recognized in current period net income as compared to periods prior to 1/1/18 in which such adjustments were recognized through other comprehensive income, a component of equity, (5) excludes significant discrete tax items that do not relate to the operating performance of the core businesses and adjusts for preferred stock capital actions (e.g., Series A and Series G) that have been taken by the company to normalize its capital structure, as applicable for respective periods.
Adjusted Efficiency Ratio is a non-GAAP financial measure that management believes is helpful to readers in comparing the efficiency of its core banking and lending businesses with those of its peers. In the numerator of Adjusted Efficiency Ratio, total noninterest expense is adjusted for Rep and warrant expense, Insurance segment expense, and repositioning and other which are primarily related to the extinguishment of high cost legacy debt, strategic activities and significant other one-time items, as applicable for respective periods. In the denominator, total net revenue is adjusted for Core OID and Insurance segment revenue. See Reconciliation to GAAP on page 7 for calculation methodology and details.
Adjusted Tangible Book Value per Share (Adjusted TBVPS) is a non-GAAP financial measure that reflects the book value of equity attributable to shareholders even if Core OID balance were accelerated immediately through the financial statements. As a result, management believes Adjusted TBVPS provides the reader with an assessment of value that is more conservative than GAAP common shareholder’s equity per share. Adjusted TBVPS generally adjusts common equity for: (1) goodwill and identifiable intangibles, net of DTLs, (2) tax-effected Core OID balance to reduce tangible common equity in the event the corresponding discounted bonds are redeemed/tendered and (3) Series G discount which reduces tangible common equity as the company has normalized its capital structure, as applicable for respective periods.
Note: In December 2017, tax-effected Core OID balance was adjusted from a statutory U.S. Federal tax rate of 35% to 21% (“rate”) as a result of changes to U.S. tax law. The adjustment conservatively increased the tax-effected Core OID balance and consequently reduced Adjusted TBVPS as any acceleration of the non-cash charge in future periods would flow through the financial statements at a 21% rate versus a previously modeled 35% rate. See Reconciliation to GAAP on page 7 for calculation methodology and details.
Core Net Income Attributable to Common Shareholders is a non-GAAP financial measure that serves as the numerator in the calculations of Adjusted EPS and Core ROTCE and that, like those measures, is believed by management to help the reader better understand the operating performance of the core businesses and their ability to generate earnings. Core Net Income Attributable to Common Shareholders adjusts GAAP net income attributable to common shareholders for discontinued operations net of tax, tax-effected Core OID expense, tax-effected repositioning and other primarily related to the extinguishment of high-cost legacy debt and strategic activities and significant other, preferred stock capital actions, significant discrete tax items and tax-effected changes in equity investments measured at fair value, as applicable for respective periods. See Reconciliation to GAAP on page 6 for calculation methodology and details.
Core Original Issue Discount (Core OID) Amortization Expense is a non-GAAP financial measure for OID, and is believed by management to help the reader better understand the activity removed from: Core pre-tax income (loss), Core net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders, Adjusted EPS, Core ROTCE, Adjusted efficiency ratio, Adjusted total net revenue, and Net financing revenue (excluding Core OID). Core OID is primarily related to bond exchange OID which excludes international operations and future issuances. See page 7 for calculation methodology and details.
Core Outstanding Original Issue Discount Balance (Core OID balance) is a non-GAAP financial measure for outstanding OID and is believed by management to help the reader better understand the balance removed from Core ROTCE and Adjusted TBVPS. Core OID balance is primarily related to bond exchange OID which excludes international operations and future issuances. See page 7 for calculation methodology and details.
Core Pre-Tax Income is a non-GAAP financial measure that adjusts pre-tax income from continuing operations by excluding (1) Core OID, and (2) equity fair value adjustments related to ASU 2016-01 which requires change in the fair value of equity securities to be recognized in current period net income as compared to periods prior to 1/1/18 in which such adjustments were recognized through other comprehensive income, a component of equity, and (3) Repositioning and other which are primarily related to the extinguishment of high cost legacy debt, strategic activities and significant other one-time items, as applicable for respective periods. Management believes Core Pre-Tax Income can help the reader better understand the operating performance of the core businesses and their ability to generate earnings. See the Pre-Tax Income by Segment Table on page 3 for calculation methodology and details.
Core Pre-Provision Net Revenue (Core PPNR) is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated by adjusting Core pre-tax income to add back provision for credit losses. Management believes that Core PPNR is a helpful financial metric because it enables the reader to assess the core businesses ability to generate earnings to cover credit losses and as it is utilized by Federal Reserve’s approach to modeling within the Supervisory Stress Test Framework that generally follows U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and includes a calculation of PPNR as a component of projected pre-tax net income. See page 8 for calculation methodology and details.
Core Return on Tangible Common Equity (Core ROTCE) is a non-GAAP financial measure that management believes is helpful for readers to better understand the ongoing ability of the company to generate returns on its equity base that supports core operations. For purposes of this calculation, tangible common equity is adjusted for Core OID balance and net DTA. Ally’s Core net income attributable to common shareholders for purposes of calculating Core ROTCE is based on the actual effective tax rate for the period adjusted for significant discrete tax items including tax reserve releases, which aligns with the methodology used in calculating adjusted earnings per share.
(1) In the numerator of Core ROTCE, GAAP net income attributable to common shareholders is adjusted for discontinued operations net of tax, tax-effected Core OID, tax-effected repositioning and other which are primarily related to the extinguishment of high cost legacy debt, strategic activities and significant other one-time items, fair value adjustments (net of tax) related to ASU 2016-01 which requires change in the fair value of equity securities to be recognized in current period net income as compared to periods prior to 1/1/18 in which such adjustments were recognized through other comprehensive income, a component of equity, significant discrete tax items, and preferred stock capital actions, as applicable for respective periods.
(2) In the denominator, GAAP shareholder’s equity is adjusted for goodwill and identifiable intangibles net of DTL, Core OID balance, and net DTA.
Corporate and Other primarily consists of activity related to centralized corporate treasury activities such as management of the cash and corporate investment securities and loan portfolios, short- and long-term debt, retail and brokered deposit liabilities, derivative instruments, the amortization of the discount associated with new debt issuances and bond exchanges, and the residual impacts of our corporate FTP and treasury ALM activities. Corporate and Other also includes certain equity investments, the management of our legacy mortgage portfolio, and reclassifications and eliminations between the reportable operating segments. Subsequent to June 1, 2016, the revenue and expense activity associated with Ally Invest was included within the Corporate and Other segment. Subsequent to October 1, 2019, the revenue and expense activity associated with Ally Lending was included within the Corporate and Other segment. Subsequent to December 1, 2021, the revenue and expense activity associated with Fari Square was included within the Corproate and Other segment.
Estimated impact of CECL on regulatory capital per final rule issued by U.S. banking agencies - In December 2018, the FRB and other U.S. banking agencies approved a final rule to address the impact of CECL on regulatory capital by allowing BHCs and banks, including Ally, the option to phase in the day-one impact of CECL over a three-year period. In March 2020, the FRB and other U.S. banking agencies issued an interim final rule that became effective on March 31, 2020 and provided an alternative option for banks to temporarily delay the impacts of CECL, relative to the incurred loss methodology for estimating the allowance for loan losses, on regulatory capital. A final rule that was largely unchanged from the March 2020 interim final rule was issued by the FRB and other U.S. banking agencies in August 2020, and became effective in September 2020. For regulatory capital purposes, these rules permitted us to delay recognizing the estimated impact of CECL on regulatory capital until after a two-year deferral period, which for us extended through December 31, 2021. Beginning on January 1, 2022, we are required to phase in 25% of the previously deferred estimated capital impact of CECL, with an additional 25% to be phased in at the beginning of each subsequent year until fully phased in by the first quarter of 2025. Under these rules, firms that adopt CECL and elect the five-year transition will calculate the estimated impact of CECL on regulatory capital as the day-one impact of adoption plus 25% of the subsequent change in allowance during the two-year deferral period, which according to the final rule approximates the impact of CECL relative to an incurred loss model. We adopted this transition option during the first quarter of 2020, and beginning January 1, 2022, are phasing in the regulatory capital impacts of CECL based on this five-year transition period.

Estimated Retail Auto Originated Yield is a forward-looking non-GAAP financial measure determined by calculating the estimated average annualized yield for loans originated during the period. At this time there currently is no comparable GAAP financial measure for Estimated Retail Auto Originated Yield and therefore this forecasted estimate of yield at the time of origination cannot be quantitatively reconciled to comparable GAAP information.
Net Charge-Off Ratios are calculated as annualized net charge-offs divided by average outstanding finance receivables and loans excluding loans measured at fair value and loans held-for-sale.
Tangible Common Equity is a non-GAAP financial measure that is defined as common stockholders’ equity less goodwill and identifiable intangible assets, net of deferred tax liabilities. Ally considers various measures when evaluating capital adequacy, including Tangible Common Equity. Ally believes that Tangible Common Equity is important because we believe readers may assess our capital adequacy using this measure. Additionally, presentation of this measure allows readers to compare certain aspects of our capital adequacy on the same basis to other companies in the industry. For purposes of calculating Core Return on Tangible Common Equity (Core ROTCE), Tangible Common Equity is further adjusted for Core OID balance and net deferred tax asset. See page 6 for calculation methodology & details.

Forward-Looking Statements
This earnings release and related communications should be read in conjunction with the financial statements, notes, and other information contained in our Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and Current Reports on Form 8-K. This information is preliminary and based on company and third-party data available at the time of the release or related communication.
This earnings release and related communications contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts — such as statements about future effects of COVID-19 and our ability to navigate them, the outlook for financial and operating metrics and performance, and future capital allocation and actions. Forward-looking statements often use words such as “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “pursue,” “seek,” “continue,” “estimate,” “project,” “outlook,” “forecast,” “potential,” “target,” “objective,” “trend,” “plan,” “goal,” “initiative,” “priorities,” or other words of comparable meaning or future-tense or conditional verbs such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “would,” or “could.” Forward-looking statements convey our expectations, intentions, or forecasts about future events, circumstances, or results. All forward-looking statements, by their nature, are subject to assumptions, risks, and uncertainties, which may change over time and many of which are beyond our control. You should not rely on any forward-looking statement as a prediction or guarantee about the future.
Actual future objectives, strategies, plans, prospects, performance, conditions, or results may differ materially from those set forth in any forward looking statement. Some of the factors that may cause actual results or other future events or circumstances to differ from those in forward looking statements are described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, our subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q or Current Reports on Form 8-K, or other applicable documents that are filed or furnished with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (collectively, our “SEC filings”). Any forward-looking statement made by us or on our behalf speaks only as of the date that it was made. We do not undertake to update any forward-looking statement to reflect the impact of events, circumstances, or results that arise after the date that the statement was made, except as required by applicable securities laws. You, however, should consult further disclosures (including disclosures of a forward-looking nature) that we may make in any subsequent SEC filings.
This earnings release and related communications contain specifically identified non-GAAP financial measures, which supplement the results that are reported according to generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). These non-GAAP financial measures may be useful to investors but should not be viewed in isolation from, or as a substitute for, GAAP results. Differences between non-GAAP financial measures and comparable GAAP financial measures are reconciled in the release.
Unless the context otherwise requires, the following definitions apply. The term “loans” means the following consumer and commercial products associated with our direct and indirect financing activities: loans, retail installment sales contracts, lines of credit, and other financing products excluding operating leases. The term “operating leases” means consumer- and commercial-vehicle lease agreements where Ally is the lessor and the lessee is generally not obligated to acquire ownership of the vehicle at lease-end or compensate Ally for the vehicle’s residual value. The terms “lend,” “finance,” and “originate” mean our direct extension or origination of loans, our purchase or acquisition of loans, or our purchase of operating leases as applicable. The term “consumer” means all consumer products associated with our loan and operating-lease activities and all commercial retail installment sales contracts. The term “commercial” means all commercial products associated with our loan activities, other than commercial retail installment sales contracts.
