[Sean Leary, Chief Financial Planning and Investor Relations Officer at Ally Financial]

Thank you, Elizabeth. Good morning, and welcome to Ally Financial's first quarter twenty twenty five earnings call.

[Sean Leary, Chief Financial Planning and Investor Relations Officer at Ally Financial]

And with that, I'll turn the call over to Michael.

[Michael G. Rhodes, CEO at Ally Financial Inc]

Thank you, Sean. Good morning, and thank you for joining the call. Before diving into the details of our first quarter performance, I'd like to take a moment to share a few key perspectives about our path forward. As I approached my one year anniversary as CEO of Ally, I could not be more energized about our future. Since day one, my focus has been keeping culture at the core of everything we do, ensuring that we have the right talent to propel us forward, shaping our strategy for the future, and aligning our people around that strategy, while delivering results through strong execution.

[Michael G. Rhodes, CEO at Ally Financial Inc]

As I reflect on these past twelve months, a few things have become clear. First, do it right is not just a catchphrase. It's embedded in our culture, creating a meaningful and direct impact on everything we do. This April, Fortune Magazine again recognized us one of the best 100 companies to work for. While awards are not our goal, this latest acknowledgment reinforced the culture of Ally is unique.

[Michael G. Rhodes, CEO at Ally Financial Inc]

I am humbled by the feedback. 90% of our colleagues believe that Ally is a great place to work, over 30 percentage points higher than The U. S. Average. I've seen firsthand how results like this can materialize in tangible ways, including how we show up for our customers and the value it creates for shareholders.

[Michael G. Rhodes, CEO at Ally Financial Inc]

Over the past year, we have also strengthened and solidified our leadership team. Identifying key talent, both internally and externally, is critical to ensure we are positioned to navigate challenges and seize opportunities. Another thing that's become clear to me is the competitive advantage created by the Ally brand. We've built a strong emotional connection to our customers, a connection rooted in a history of consistently doing things right. This commitment continues to set us apart, and we have seen clear evidence of our brand strength, leading the way in our peer set.

[Michael G. Rhodes, CEO at Ally Financial Inc]

Our Net Promoter Score is well ahead of the industry averages, and our positive brand social sentiment is nearly 90%, almost double our banking peers. This favorability reflects the trust and loyalty that our customers place in us, which is not something we take for granted. A key aspect of our success is a differentiated approach to building and maintaining the Ally brand. In fact, just last week, we proudly announced a multiyear partnership with the WNBA, establishing Ally as the official banking partner of the league. We have been at the center of the rapid rise of women's sports since the beginning, and this partnership underscores the power of our brand and our commitment.

[Michael G. Rhodes, CEO at Ally Financial Inc]

The final item that's become more apparent to me as I've settled into the CEO role is the importance of focus. We've talked a lot about how we're becoming a more focused company to transform Ally into a stronger institution, one that is better positioned to compete and deliver compelling returns. This strategy is simplifying our organization, allowing us to prioritize resources to win in areas where we have demonstrated competitive advantage, deep relationships, and relevant scale. Our three core franchises, dealer financial services, corporate finance, and deposits, remain strong with tremendous runway ahead. We are committed to further investing in these businesses for sustainable growth and long term success as we see meaningful opportunities for accretive organic expansion.

[Michael G. Rhodes, CEO at Ally Financial Inc]

Coupled with disciplined expense and capital management, we continue to see a clear path to attractive returns given the strength of these franchises. With this clarity of purpose and a commitment to our objectives, we are well positioned to execute and deliver meaningful shareholder value. During periods of macroeconomic uncertainty like we're in today, the power of focus is more critical as we allocate resources where we have deep expertise, strong relationships, and relevant scale to successfully navigate these challenges, including the impact of tariffs. With that context of the journey ahead, let's turn to page four to discuss our financial results. In the first quarter, Ally delivered adjusted earnings per share of $0.58 core pretax income of $247,000,000 and adjusted net revenue of $2,100,000,000 reflecting solid execution across each of our core businesses.

[Michael G. Rhodes, CEO at Ally Financial Inc]

Net interest margin for the quarter was 3.35%, up two basis points compared to the fourth quarter, in line with our expectations to start the year. As we shared in January, the full year trajectory of margin expansion will not follow a straight line on a quarter to quarter basis. However, we are confident in the direction. Russ will cover this in more detail later. But the takeaway is this.

[Michael G. Rhodes, CEO at Ally Financial Inc]

Our results within the quarter highlight the opportunities within our franchises, reinforce our market leading positions and are in line with full year guidance we provided in January. Before discussing results, there are a few notable items from the quarter to highlight. First, our results reflect the transfer of our credit card business to held for sale at the end of the quarter. These impacts have been adjusted out of our core metrics for the period. The transaction successfully closed on April 1, and we remain committed to ensuring a smooth transition for our colleagues and customers.

[Michael G. Rhodes, CEO at Ally Financial Inc]

I would like to take a moment to express my gratitude to our entire team and for CardWorks for getting this deal across the finish line. The sale of our credit card business has allowed us to further strengthen our balance sheet. As we previously disclosed, in March, we executed a repositioning transaction involving a portion of our available for sale portfolio. We completed a second similar transaction later in the quarter. These strategic moves reduce interest rate risk and immediately increase net interest income.

[Michael G. Rhodes, CEO at Ally Financial Inc]

These outcomes reflect careful and prudent management of our exposure to rate risk, helping support the sustainability of our returns over time. As we said in January, we continue to be disciplined in how we manage capital, prioritizing investment in the business and eventually share repurchases. Let's turn to page five to discuss our market leading franchises. Within our auto finance business, consumer originations of $10,200,000,000 were driven by 3,800,000 applications, our highest quarterly application volume ever. Once again underscoring the strength of our dealer relationships and the scale of our franchise.

[Michael G. Rhodes, CEO at Ally Financial Inc]

This scale enables us to be highly selective in the loans we book, optimizing both pricing and credit. I am encouraged by the trends we're seeing in application flow to further strengthen and grow our position as the leading bank auto finance lender in the country. Originated yields of 9.8% increased 17 basis points from the prior quarter. Notably, 44% originations were made up for our highest credit quality tier, which will continue to drive strong risk adjusted returns for the years ahead. As we discussed, we expect our origination mix to shift over time, particularly from the fourth quarter when nearly half our originations were made up of our highest credit quality tier.

[Michael G. Rhodes, CEO at Ally Financial Inc]

Our ability to dynamically adjust price and risk appetite for emerging trends allows us to modify origination strategies for differing interest rate and credit environments. On the insurance side, written premiums of $385,000,000 represent an increase of 9% year over year. As we benefited from new relationships, growth in P and C exposure and synergies within our auto finance team. Our insurance team now serves over 6,000 dealers in United States and Canada. The average number of Ally F and I insurance products sold by each of our dealers has increased to 2.2.

[Michael G. Rhodes, CEO at Ally Financial Inc]

That's the highest since our IPO. On the P and C side, dealer inventory insurance exposure grew by 30% year over year. I'm very pleased with the growth of our business and the alignment that we have between auto insurance only enhances the value proposition we offer to our dealer network. In Corporate Finance, we delivered another strong quarter with pretax income of $76,000,000 and a 25% ROE. This business has consistently demonstrated resilience across economic cycles.

[Michael G. Rhodes, CEO at Ally Financial Inc]

The robust relationships we have with private equity sponsors and asset based lenders has enabled us to grow the business at attractive returns, while prudently managing risk. We again ended the quarter with zero net charge offs, demonstrating the quality of our loan book. As we have said, this is not a zero loss business and we expect some normalization. We see opportunities to drive prudent organic growth within our current verticals and are actively exploring new verticals to generate incremental accretive business. Turning to our digital bank, we continue to invest in delivering best in class digital experiences and products to grow customer value proposition beyond rate.

[Michael G. Rhodes, CEO at Ally Financial Inc]

In March, Fortune Magazine again recognized us as one of the most innovative companies for 2025. This recognition is a testament to our culture, our relentless obsession with the customer and our ability to disrupt the industry. Related to our deposits franchise, we proudly serve a total of 3,300,000 customers with balances reaching $146,000,000,000 at the end of the quarter. Balances were up nearly $3,000,000,000 quarter over quarter, as we harvested seasonally higher levels of money in motion and continue to add customers. Like last year, we expect tax payments to result in lower deposits in the second quarter and are aiming for approximately flat balances for the full year, aligned with what's needed to support the asset side of our balance sheet.

[Michael G. Rhodes, CEO at Ally Financial Inc]

During the quarter, we saw strong flows from existing customers. This enabled us to move liquid savings rates down 20 basis points during the quarter, despite no move in the Fed funds since December. Notably, 92% of retail deposits are FDIC insured, underscoring the strength and stability of our deposit base. Deposits represent nearly 90% of our funding profile, highlighting the fifteen year evolution of the largest digital only bank in The U. S. And with that, I'll turn it over to Russ.

[Russell Hutchinson, Chief Financial Officer at Ally Financial]

Thank you, Michael. Good morning, everyone. I'll begin on Page six. In the first quarter, net financing revenue excluding OID was approximately $1,500,000,000 in line with both the prior year and the prior quarter. On a quarter over quarter basis, net interest income was impacted by two fewer days in the period, lower average commercial auto balances, soft lease remarketing activity and the full quarter impact of repricing floating rate assets and liquid deposits following the rate changes in December.

[Russell Hutchinson, Chief Financial Officer at Ally Financial]

Looking ahead, we are well positioned to grow net financing revenue through retail auto yield expansion, our portfolio shift toward higher yielding asset classes and repricing our deposits lower. Together, these factors are expected to more than offset the revenue impact from the sale of our credit card business. GAAP other revenue of $63,000,000 included a $495,000,000 pretax loss related to securities repositioning, which has been excluded from adjusted metrics. Adjusted other revenue of $571,000,000 was up over 10% year over year, reflecting strong momentum across diversified revenue streams, including insurance, smart auction and our consumer auto pass through programs. GAAP provision expense of $191,000,000 was down $316,000,000 year over year, primarily driven by the release of the credit card reserves following its transfer to held for sale.

[Russell Hutchinson, Chief Financial Officer at Ally Financial]

Adjusted provision expense of $497,000,000 was down $10,000,000 year over year, driven by lower retail auto NCOs, slightly lower coverage rates, offset by reserve builds for balance growth. In retail auto, net charge offs declined $32,000,000 year over year. While delinquencies remain elevated, we continue to see consistently strong trends in photo loss rates more on this shortly. GAAP non interest expense of $1,600,000,000 included a write down of goodwill associated with the transfer of card assets to held for sale, as well as $9,000,000 of deal related expenses, both of which have been excluded from adjusted metrics. Excluding the impact of the credit card sale, expenses were up approximately 8% quarter over quarter and 2% year over year, primarily driven by the highest first quarter of weather related losses in our history.

[Russell Hutchinson, Chief Financial Officer at Ally Financial]

During the quarter, net weather losses totaled $58,000,000 with 80% of claims occurring over a three day span in March and related to a single weather system that impacted Texas and Missouri and other states. Controllable expenses, which exclude insurance losses, commissions and FDIC fees were down approximately 3% year over year, demonstrating our commitment to cost discipline. Turning to tax. During the quarter, we recognized a GAAP tax benefit of $59,000,000 which was primarily driven by losses associated with the securities repositioning transactions. On a GAAP basis, we generated a loss per share of $0.82 for the quarter.

[Russell Hutchinson, Chief Financial Officer at Ally Financial]

Adjusted earnings per share was $0.58 Moving to Page seven. Net interest margin, excluding OID of 3.35% was up two basis points from the prior quarter and in line with expectations from January. NIM excluding OID is up 16 basis points year over year. During the quarter, earning asset yields decreased 16 basis points compared to the prior quarter, primarily driven by the full quarter impact of repricing floating rate assets from the December rate cut and softer lease remarketing proceeds. Cost of funds declined 20 basis points versus the prior quarter and 39 basis points versus the prior year, more than offsetting the impact from lower asset yields.

[Russell Hutchinson, Chief Financial Officer at Ally Financial]

We continue to optimize pricing by further lowering liquid deposit rates by an incremental 20 basis points late in the quarter, the full impact of which will be felt in the second quarter. In addition, we are benefiting from favorable dynamics in the CD portfolio as more than $12,000,000,000 of CDs with yields of 4.8% matured in the first quarter, migrating into lower yielding CDs and liquid savings. This migration will continue to be a meaningful tailwind as approximately 95% of the CD portfolio matures this year. We have included additional details on CD maturities in the appendix section of the earnings presentation. We're pleased with our cumulative 60% beta through the first quarter and remain confident in our ability to achieve target beta of around 70%.

[Russell Hutchinson, Chief Financial Officer at Ally Financial]

We are well positioned for margin expansion and sustainably higher NIM over the medium term. Turning to Page eight, CET1 of 9.5% represents $3,700,000,000 of excess capital above our SCB minimum. On a fully phased in basis for AOCI, CET1 for the period would have been 7.3%, an increase of 20 basis points from the prior quarter. During the quarter, there were a few moving pieces impacting capital. The transfer of credit card assets to held for sale added 20 basis points to CET1 during the quarter.

[Russell Hutchinson, Chief Financial Officer at Ally Financial]

The sale of card closed and added another 20 basis points to CET1 after the quarter closed. So in total, the sale of card generated 40 basis points of CET1, resulting in a pro form a CET1 of 9.7%, seven point five % on a fully AOCI phased in basis. During the quarter, 23 basis points of the card capital was redeployed into two securities repositioning transactions. In total, we sold lower yielding available for sale securities with an amortized cost of $4,600,000,000 for proceeds of $4,100,000,000 recognizing a pretax loss of $495,000,000 which will be earned back through higher net interest income over time. Proceeds from both sales were reinvested in securities at current market rates, resulting in a portfolio with an overall lower duration.

[Russell Hutchinson, Chief Financial Officer at Ally Financial]

These securities portfolio repositionings have helped us to reduce interest rate risk, be marginally less liability sensitive and protect against volatility and tangible book value. Taken together with the sale of card and these securities repositionings, we expect support our continued investment in the growth of our core franchises and eventual share repurchases. At this point, we are not expecting additional securities repositioning transactions. We believe that we have addressed the areas of the portfolio that offered the most compelling combination of risk mitigation and net interest margin benefit. During the quarter, the final phase in of CECL had a 19 basis point impact to CET1.

[Russell Hutchinson, Chief Financial Officer at Ally Financial]

Earlier this week, we announced our quarterly dividend of $0.30 for the second quarter of twenty twenty five, which remains consistent with the prior quarter. Excluding the impacts of AOCI, adjusted tangible book value per share of $47 is up more than two times from 2014. We remain focused on growing tangible book value per share and driving shareholder value through disciplined capital management in the years ahead. Let's turn to Page nine. Credit quality trends remain encouraging.

[Russell Hutchinson, Chief Financial Officer at Ally Financial]

The consolidated net charge off rate was 150 basis points, a decline of nine basis points to the prior quarter and a decline of five basis points to the prior year. Losses in our credit card portfolio for the full quarter are included in our consolidated net charge off rate. Retail auto net charge offs of two twelve basis points were down 22 basis points quarter over quarter and down 15 basis points year over year. This represents the first year over year decline since 2021, reflecting our pricing and underwriting actions, moderating inflation and stability in used vehicle prices. While the first quarter typically outperforms 4Q due seasonality, we are seeing less of a benefit quarter over quarter due to larger monthly loan payments.

[Russell Hutchinson, Chief Financial Officer at Ally Financial]

We believe these dynamics are resulting in a slightly different seasonality curve, more specifically a shallower decline in the first half of the year and a less steep increase in the back half of the year. On the bottom left, thirty plus day all in delinquencies decreased 69 basis points from the prior quarter and were up 11 basis points to the prior year. This all in view aligns with how we manage the business from an operational and loss mitigation perspective. The increase in the all in delinquency metric is partially driven by deliberate servicing actions that result in increased delinquency churn, but have consistently driven lower losses. Since 2019, we've seen improvement in customer payment behavior among our delinquent borrowers.

[Russell Hutchinson, Chief Financial Officer at Ally Financial]

The proportion of customers making payments within each delinquency bucket has increased. Customers three payment past due that made at least one full monthly payment during the quarter is 73% higher versus 2019. While those customers for payments past due are now twice as likely to make a payment. This higher payment activity is resulting in favorable flow to loss rates, reinforcing our confidence that losses will normalize below 2% over time. We remain encouraged by the vintage delinquency trends shown on the bottom right.

[Russell Hutchinson, Chief Financial Officer at Ally Financial]

As the benefit of vintage dynamics are clearly playing out in loss trends, we expect to remove this chart from our earnings deck going forward, but we'll continue to report vintage delinquency data in the 10 Q and 10 ks. Moving to page 10, consolidated coverage decreased 18 basis points this quarter, while the retail auto coverage rate decreased three basis points. The decrease in the consolidated coverage rate was driven by the reserve release associated with the transfer of the card business to held for sale at the end of the quarter. Looking ahead, we expect the consolidated coverage rate to modestly increase over time, driven by asset remixing, as we run off our mortgage portfolio while growing our retail auto and corporate finance assets with higher risk adjusted returns. The change in the retail auto coverage rate for the period was favorably impacted by vintage trends, actual and expected delinquency flows and the release of the remaining hurricane reserve overlay established last year.

[Russell Hutchinson, Chief Financial Officer at Ally Financial]

However, the favorable trends in the credit quality were partially offset by elevated levels of overall delinquency and ongoing macroeconomic uncertainty. As we have said before, we do not forecast reserve releases and they are not incorporated into our mid teens return guidance, but we continue to be encouraged by the trends of the overall portfolio. Moving to Page 11 to review auto segment highlights. Pretax income of $375,000,000 was $105,000,000 lower year over year, primarily driven by lower lease gains and lower commercial auto balances. As illustrated on the bottom left, retail auto portfolio yields excluding the impact from hedges was up two basis points quarter over quarter.

[Russell Hutchinson, Chief Financial Officer at Ally Financial]

Seasonal factors such as higher liquidations typically experienced in the first quarter of the year have driven increased premium amortization, which impacted yield in the quarter as expected. In addition to typical seasonality, March saw strong consumer demand leading to higher sales and accelerated premium amortization. Originated yield of 9.8% was up 17 basis points quarter over quarter, driven by a shift in our origination mix down tier, generating strong risk adjusted returns. As the overall credit environment improves, we will carefully evaluate the curtailment actions that we have taken since 2022. The shift in mix will occur gradually over time and be informed by front book performance and the evolving macroeconomic environment, including the impact of recently announced tariffs.

[Russell Hutchinson, Chief Financial Officer at Ally Financial]

Lease trends are on the bottom right. This quarter, we recognized losses of $19,000,000 on lease remarketing. As communicated in January, we expected lease remarketing gains to be pressured by mix headwinds, more specifically the impact of a small number of models that are generating losses termination. Notably, two models accounted for the entirety of remarketing losses within the quarter. However, performance improved throughout the quarter, even for these loss generating models as auction values stabilized or improved.

[Russell Hutchinson, Chief Financial Officer at Ally Financial]

Looking ahead, the weaker performing units represent a smaller mix of future terminations. Additionally, the average carrying value at termination for these weaker performing units will be lower going forward. While lease gains will always fluctuate based on trends and used values, we do not expect first quarter trends to continue. Turning to insurance on Page 12. Core pre tax income of $17,000,000 was down $36,000,000 year over year driven by weather losses.

[Russell Hutchinson, Chief Financial Officer at Ally Financial]

Elevated losses overshadowed strong top line growth in earned premiums, which increased $19,000,000 year over year. Total written premiums of $385,000,000 were down $5,000,000 quarter over quarter and up $31,000,000 year over year. Growth in P and C written premiums of $37,000,000 year over year are supported by new relationships. Insurance losses totaled $161,000,000 up $49,000,000 year over year due to higher weather related losses. During the quarter, we incurred net weather losses of $58,000,000 an increase of $41,000,000 year over year, representing our highest 1Q ever for this activity.

[Russell Hutchinson, Chief Financial Officer at Ally Financial]

Over 80% of our net weather losses were attributed to an historic three day severe weather event. Since our IPO, on average, net weather losses in the first quarter of the year have averaged approximately $13,000,000 To put it in context, the storm in March was a one in 200 year event. While losses in this business are inherently unpredictable and tend to concentrate in the first half of the year, we maintain excess of loss reinsurance coverage that partially mitigated the impacts. As you know, our reinsurance policy is up for renewal each year. We recently executed a renewal of coverage the first quarter of twenty twenty six.

[Russell Hutchinson, Chief Financial Officer at Ally Financial]

While losses were higher, we remain pleased with the outcome and those costs are captured in the full year guide I'll cover shortly. Despite weather related volatility, the insurance business continues to generate attractive returns and remains a growth area for Ally going forward. Corporate finance results are on Page 13. Core pre tax income of $76,000,000 demonstrated another strong quarter, translating to a 25% return on equity. Net financing revenue of $104,000,000 was $11,000,000 lower quarter over quarter and down $16,000,000 year over year, driven by elevated syndication fee revenue in prior periods.

[Russell Hutchinson, Chief Financial Officer at Ally Financial]

Provision expense of $14,000,000 increased $19,000,000 quarter over quarter, driven by balance growth. End of period HFI loans ended at $10,900,000,000 an increase of $1,300,000,000 from the fourth quarter, reflecting our focus on prudently growing this core business. Our portfolio remains well diversified, high quality and one hundred percent first lien. Criticized assets and non accrual loan exposures were 121% of the total portfolio near historically low levels. Since 2019, the average historical loss rate for corporate finance was under 50 basis points, underscoring the credit quality of the portfolio.

[Russell Hutchinson, Chief Financial Officer at Ally Financial]

At the bottom of the page, we highlight balances across corporate finances three main verticals. Since 2019, balances have grown from $5,700,000,000 to $10,900,000,000 while maintaining disciplined credit management. The team has excelled at building relationships with equity sponsors and middle market asset managers. These partnerships combined with a focus on expanding product offerings have driven highly accretive responsible loan growth. I'll conclude with a brief update on the financial outlook on Page 14.

[Russell Hutchinson, Chief Financial Officer at Ally Financial]

We've been pleased with the execution in our core franchises through the first quarter. This strong start supports our confidence in our full year outlook, which remains unchanged. We are closely evaluating the impacts of macroeconomic uncertainty and tariffs. In the spirit of transparency that we are committed to, we will update investors on our outlook as it evolves. Looking beyond 2025, we remain confident in our ability to deliver a mid teens return over the medium term.

[Russell Hutchinson, Chief Financial Officer at Ally Financial]

The exact timing will be driven by several factors, including the macroeconomic environment. We believe that our focused strategy best positions us to navigate this uncertain environment, including the potential impacts of tariffs. As we've talked about before, our ROE expansion story is simple and requires three things. Net interest margin expansion into the upper 3s, retail auto losses below 2%, which translates to a consolidated loss rate of approximately 1.3%, as well as continued focus on expense discipline and capital allocation. With that, I'll turn it back to Michael for a wrap up.

[Michael G. Rhodes, CEO at Ally Financial Inc]

Thank you, Russ. Before we turn to Q and A, I'd like to close by highlighting a few key points. We have significant opportunities ahead within our core franchises, and we are poised to unlock even greater value. Despite a few unique headwinds in the quarter, financial and operational results were solid and aligned with our expectations from January. While we expect some near term volatility stemming from the changes in trade policy, we are well positioned to effectively serve our customers and will benefit from a stronger economy in the long term.

[Michael G. Rhodes, CEO at Ally Financial Inc]

Our ability to navigate this environment reflects deliberate actions we have taken to strengthen the company. We reduced credit risk by exiting card and shifting our auto origination mix towards higher credit quality borrowers. We reduced interest rate risk by running off long dated fixed rate assets and repositioning the securities portfolio. We are growing fee income, which is capital efficient and less sensitive to changes in interest rates and credit cycles. The growth in our expenses has been arrested and we've reduced controllable expenses while continuing to invest in key capabilities, particularly in servicing and collections.

[Michael G. Rhodes, CEO at Ally Financial Inc]

And we've shown a consistent ability to generate capital, which we've used to derisk the balance sheet while continuing to move CET1 higher. Looking ahead, we are leveraging the power of focus to originate accretive assets in our core business, poised for margin expansion in a variety of rate scenarios and are remaining disciplined with expenses. And I am confident in our ability to deliver strong shareholder returns. And with that, I'll turn it over to Sean for Q and A.

[Sean Leary, Chief Financial Planning and Investor Relations Officer at Ally Financial]

Thank you, Michael. As we head into Q and A, we do ask that participants limit yourself to one question and one follow-up. Elizabeth, please begin the Q and A.

[Operator]

Our first question will come from Sanjay Sakhrani with KBW.

[Sanjay Sakhrani, Managing Director at Keefe, Bruyette & Woods (KBW)]

Thank you. Good morning. Michael, maybe first one for you. Just a question on the evolving uncertainty as it relates to tariffs. How do you think it impacts your business?

[Michael G. Rhodes, CEO at Ally Financial Inc]

Sanjay, thanks for the question. And I think your description of the evolving uncertainty is probably a fair one. The environment is undeniably fluid that we're dealing with. And as I think of the tariffs, I'd like to maybe leave you with two thoughts if I can. One is the thought is how we're positioned today and I'd we're very much in a position of strength.

[Michael G. Rhodes, CEO at Ally Financial Inc]

And the second is, I'll play out how I see this working for us given what we know today, recognize all that can change. But first, the position of strength. Mean, objectively, if you look at our balance sheet today, capital strength, our credit risk position, what we've done by divesting the card business and the mix in assets for the auto lending business, has put us in a much stronger position, our liquidity position, our interest rate risk, all of that you look at our balance sheet and, we feel very good about where we are today. And I could probably double click any one of those for while, but just rest assured you see strength like we haven't seen in years on the balance sheet. Now this hasn't happened by accident.

[Michael G. Rhodes, CEO at Ally Financial Inc]

It's happened because of several steps we've taken to enable this. We've sold a credit card business. We stopped originating mortgages. We executed several CRT transactions. We've undertaken two securities repositionings, and, we made operational changes to improve our effectiveness and then say especially in collections.

[Michael G. Rhodes, CEO at Ally Financial Inc]

And so we feel very good about the both strategic and the tactical steps we're taking to manage the business and position us for any environment, including this. Going forward, there are lots of gives and takes, we don't have perfect insights. Don't think anyone does right now. But I'll probably break this into the near term and the medium term. In the near term, I'd say we have a potential to see used car prices, play out in a way that's beneficial for recoveries and lease gains.

[Michael G. Rhodes, CEO at Ally Financial Inc]

There's also in the near term on volumes, there may be a pull forward in demand. I will say the recent volume numbers that we've been seeing have been quite strong and there's a thesis floating around that some pull forward. There's probably some truth to that, it's hard to be really precise. But that's what we see in the near term. In the medium and longer term, the focus is very much to be on the macro economy and what this means for inflation, consumer health, affordability and things like that.

[Michael G. Rhodes, CEO at Ally Financial Inc]

You could see a place where there are fewer units but higher average price. We step back from this. I think it's important that you actually also look at the mix of business that we finance. And if you look at our mix and kind of where they appear to be in the tariffs as we understand them today, we're in the less impactor side of the spectrum. And so we think that sets us off on a comparative basis reasonably well.

[Michael G. Rhodes, CEO at Ally Financial Inc]

So lots of uncertainty in the market and not easy to forecast the future, but my takeaway from this is, we're executing well today. We've positioned the bank from a, I think quite well to handle this environment. And, and objectively, we're just, we're in a strong position, and, that that's kinda how I see it. You know? It's hard to be terribly precise, but I feel good about where we are.

[Sanjay Sakhrani, Managing Director at Keefe, Bruyette & Woods (KBW)]

Thank you. That's very comprehensive. Russ, just a two parter on the NIM. Maybe you could just talk about, one, sort of the rate backdrop and how that aligns with your guidance? Like do you think you can get to the high end of that range given the rate outlook?

[Sanjay Sakhrani, Managing Director at Keefe, Bruyette & Woods (KBW)]

Just what was factored in before and what's factored in now? And then secondly, just talk about the mix of originations you're seeing now and sort of how that plays into the yield dynamic and the competitive backdrop maybe? Thank you.

[Russell Hutchinson, Chief Financial Officer at Ally Financial]

Yes, sure. Maybe I'll start on the rate backdrop in our guidance. We've said before, as you know, we consider a range of rate outcomes when we think about our guidance. So our guidance of 3.4 to 3.5 for 2025. We've considered scenarios where rates stay where they are for the foreseeable future.

[Russell Hutchinson, Chief Financial Officer at Ally Financial]

And we've considered scenarios where rates come down. And three, four rate moves by the Fed over the course of the year are certainly within what we've considered in terms of our rate guidance. And as you'll recall Sanjay, as we said before, the size of a Federal Reserve rate change, the timing of that rate change could affect us in the quarter and the next quarter. But our business adjusts. And so as we think about our business kind of two quarters out, we tend to adjust for that.

[Russell Hutchinson, Chief Financial Officer at Ally Financial]

And so we've avoided giving quarter by quarter guidance for that reason. But there is a resilience to our rate outlook as you kind of look at it over our NIM outlook as you look at it over a longer period of time. On the origination side, as Michael pointed out and as we said on the call, we were pleased with the business' performance in the first quarter. Our application volume throughout the quarter was at record levels. And that's coming off of 2024, which as you know, was really strong.

[Russell Hutchinson, Chief Financial Officer at Ally Financial]

I think that speaks to the competitive environment that we're in. It continues to be favorable to us. And it continues to position us to be able to be selective in terms of both credit and rate. You saw our originated yield at 9.8%, strong up from fourth quarter. Our S tier still at 44% for the quarter, which as you know, we took steps to bring that down from 49% in the fourth quarter.

[Russell Hutchinson, Chief Financial Officer at Ally Financial]

Those were successful, but we're still running at a relatively attractive level in terms of the proportion of our originations that are in our highest credit quality tier. So again, I think that speaks to just the competitive dynamic that we're in and it continues to be favorable. As Michael pointed out, the outlook is volatile. There is some uncertainty there. And so as we kind of work our way through the year, we'll certainly provide any updates as we think about it.

[Russell Hutchinson, Chief Financial Officer at Ally Financial]

But right now, our expectation is that we'll continue to originate in the high 9s to 10% originated yield.

[Sanjay Sakhrani, Managing Director at Keefe, Bruyette & Woods (KBW)]

Thank you.

Our next question comes from Jeff Adelson with Morgan Stanley.

[Jeffrey Adelson, Executive Director at Morgan Stanley]

Hey, good morning. Thanks for taking my questions. I guess just to circle back on the NIM, I appreciate that you're not giving specific quarterly NIM guidance from here, but just given all the puts and takes we have with card coming off, you've done the securities repositioning. It seems like you're saying you're now past the worst of this mix issue on the lease residual side. So I guess just curious if you could maybe speak to what we should be expecting from here maybe in 2Q?

[Jeffrey Adelson, Executive Director at Morgan Stanley]

It just seems like for the rest of the year, you're still sort of thinking about a 3.4% to 3.55% for the average of the rest of the year. Should we be thinking about second quarter as more flat or up from here? Thanks.

[Russell Hutchinson, Chief Financial Officer at Ally Financial]

Yes, so we reiterated the full year guide at $3.40 to three fifty. Jeff, you're absolutely right on pointing out card. Card was included in first quarter in our first quarter NIM. It comes out in second quarter given that the sale closed on April 1. We've previously described that as a 20 basis point impact to NIM on a run rate basis.

[Russell Hutchinson, Chief Financial Officer at Ally Financial]

So we'll feel that impact in the second quarter. That being said, we expect to up for that through a number of things. I'd say number one on the deposit side, you've seen we've taken two relatively recent changes to price. Those changes will the full benefit of those benefits will accrue in the second quarter. And so that will be helpful.

[Russell Hutchinson, Chief Financial Officer at Ally Financial]

I'd also say at 60% beta so far, we feel pretty good about overall views on our approximately 70% beta on our deposit book. And so again, that in our view kind of points to some confidence around our NIM expansion story. Also on the deposit side, we pointed to $12,000,000,000 of CD maturities in the quarter. Those CDs are maturing at 4.8. They're maturing into CDs priced lower or into liquid savings, again, priced lower.

[Russell Hutchinson, Chief Financial Officer at Ally Financial]

That is a tailwind in terms of our net interest margin. And that continues through the year. We added an extra exhibit to the appendix. We'll show about $11,000,000,000 of CD maturities in the second quarter. That's another point that's helpful.

[Russell Hutchinson, Chief Financial Officer at Ally Financial]

And then as you pointed out, obviously, there's some benefits in terms of NIM to the securities repositioning trades as well as relief from the some of the pressure we saw from lease gains going negative in the first quarter. So we've got a lot of moving pieces, but the fundamentals are still really strong in terms of the pricing momentum that we have in the deposit business and our ability to continue to get great credit at an attractive yield in the retail auto loan book. And I would say just the longer term trend of our migration away from lower yielding mortgage loans and lower yielding parts of our securities portfolio to our higher returning retail auto loan and corporate finance loans is very much intact and continues.

[Jeffrey Adelson, Executive Director at Morgan Stanley]

Great, thanks. And as my follow-up, on the credit performance, you've seen some really nice stabilization in the past few quarters. You've highlighted a lot of the actions you've taken in your collections and mitigation practices. Just kind of as we think about the trajectory to getting back down to a 2% or below loss rate, how quickly do you think you can get there? I mean, delinquency trends in the vintage basis look pretty good.

[Jeffrey Adelson, Executive Director at Morgan Stanley]

I know the back half of the year is seasonality, but maybe on a seasonally adjusted basis, is there a case for you getting to below 2% by the end of the year?

[Russell Hutchinson, Chief Financial Officer at Ally Financial]

Yes, thanks for the question. It's a good question. And we spent some time on this last quarter as well. And we talked about it in the context of the range that we presented for full year 2025, which goes from 2% to 2.25, which more or less kind of covers the span of your question. I think the way we described it last year was in terms of really three variables.

[Russell Hutchinson, Chief Financial Officer at Ally Financial]

Overall delinquency levels entering the quarter, load or loss, and then used vehicle prices. And as I think about where we are this quarter relative to last quarter, I'd say obviously on flow to loss rates, they continue to be very strong. In terms of delinquency, we did see some improvement in the second derivative. That is smaller increase in delinquency on a year over year basis. And as you parse through the buckets, you definitely see some green shoots there in terms of how our delinquency is evolving.

[Russell Hutchinson, Chief Financial Officer at Ally Financial]

But I'd still characterize it as elevated. In terms of used vehicle prices, still continue to be strong. Obviously, there's some uncertainty in the outlook around the macro. But again, right now as we speak, used car prices continue to be strong. And so as I take that set of ingredients and kind of carry that forward, I'd say, look, I think there's reason to be optimistic.

[Russell Hutchinson, Chief Financial Officer at Ally Financial]

And certainly, if you looked just on the basis of what we saw in the first quarter, you'd point towards the lower half of the range that we provided. But on the other hand, as you think about the outlook, you think about the elevated delinquencies that we have, you think about the uncertainty in the macro and how that in particular could impact us in terms of carrying around that inventory of delinquent accounts, I think there's a lot of reason for caution. And so we've taken the decision we want to keep the full range intact of two to two and a quarter. And we think that's prudent just kind of given where we are. Now, we're transparent.

[Russell Hutchinson, Chief Financial Officer at Ally Financial]

And just like prior years, we're going to call it as we see it. And so, certainly to the extent that we have a change in our view, we'll provide updates as appropriate.

[Jeffrey Adelson, Executive Director at Morgan Stanley]

Great. Thanks, Russ.

Our next question comes from Robert Wildhack with Autonomous Research.

[Robert Wildhack, Equity Research Analyst - Director at Autonomous Research]

Good morning, guys. Russ, it sounded like you were still willing to unwind curtailment over time. I'm wondering if there's been any change to the absolute or aggregate amount of unwind you'd be willing to consider given the current environment today. And to the extent that there is, could you just comment on how that might weigh on, originated yield and the NIM outlook?

[Russell Hutchinson, Chief Financial Officer at Ally Financial]

Yeah, great question Rob. I guess I'd start and just reiterate Michael's point that the outlook is uncertain. And we're watching obviously very closely. We're looking at things on a pretty granular level in terms of how the OEMs are behaving, our dealer partners, as well as how consumers. And so you can imagine we're looking at things at a make and model level.

[Russell Hutchinson, Chief Financial Officer at Ally Financial]

And we're looking at MSRP, dealer invoice, and auction values. And looking at changes in application volume just to understand how people are behaving. We're also paying very close attention to our recent vintages and how those are performing. And obviously, that's an important data point as we think about how to think about curtailment unwind or mix normalization as we move forward. And I'd say it's a dynamic process and it's not a set it and forget it approach.

[Russell Hutchinson, Chief Financial Officer at Ally Financial]

So, we're going to continue to watch the market closely and evolve accordingly. A few things I would put out there, and you could see this in the vintage delinquency charts. But our 2024 vintages continue to outperform. They are outperforming our expectations in terms of our price loss expectations at the time that we originated them. And so, our view, that does give us some cushion in terms of how we think about our underwriting.

[Russell Hutchinson, Chief Financial Officer at Ally Financial]

All that being said, we're taking a very cautious approach to unwinding any of the curtailment, just given the need to understand and to see how kind of the current changes in trade policy, in particular as it relates to the auto industry, how that affects our OEMs, our dealer partners and our customers.

[Robert Wildhack, Equity Research Analyst - Director at Autonomous Research]

Thanks. And then could you just comment on what kind of used car price outlook is embedded in your outlook and your underwriting today and remind us of the sensitivity there should used car prices end up increasing in a big way sometime this year?

[Russell Hutchinson, Chief Financial Officer at Ally Financial]

Yes. So look, I'd say our models, as we said before, anticipate used car prices kind of in the neighborhood where they are. And that's at a level that's probably about 20% elevated to where they were pre pandemic driven by the supply demand dynamic. And that's a view that kind of predates a lot of kind of what we've seen on the tariff side over the course of the last couple of weeks. I think it's too early to call it on where used car prices go.

[Russell Hutchinson, Chief Financial Officer at Ally Financial]

I think certainly intuitively, the expectation is that tariffs increasing the effective price of new vehicles will have a positive impact on the value of used vehicles. And that, as Michael pointed out earlier, would have a positive impact on our business in a few different ways. One, in terms of on the credit side, in terms of severity. And then two, obviously, the lease book, in terms of what we see on lease gains going forward. But I'd say it's probably early to call it in terms of what to expect.

[Russell Hutchinson, Chief Financial Officer at Ally Financial]

There's some potential benefit to used vehicle prices stronger than we anticipated through the year.

[Robert Wildhack, Equity Research Analyst - Director at Autonomous Research]

Thank you.

Our next question comes from Moshe Orenbuch with TD Cowen.

[Moshe Orenbuch, Managing Director & Senior Analyst at TD Cowen]

Great, thanks. Most of my questions actually have been asked and answered, but maybe going back to Sanjay's question about the origination yield, is there a way to unpack how much of the change is driven by the various different factors? You talked a little bit about premium amortization. Obviously, you've got the benefit from a lower S tier and then other kind of pricing changes like, is there a way to just unpack those?

[Russell Hutchinson, Chief Financial Officer at Ally Financial]

Yes, let's separate the origination yield from the portfolio yield. And so when we talk about the 9.8%, that's the originated yield. So that's just on the book that we originated in the quarter. And the benefit we saw moving from fourth quarter to first quarter, that's mostly attributed to basically the movement in S tier from 49% to 44%. That drove the overwhelming majority of the move up in yields.

[Russell Hutchinson, Chief Financial Officer at Ally Financial]

When you look at the portfolio yield, that's where things like the premium amortization factor in.

[Moshe Orenbuch, Managing Director & Senior Analyst at TD Cowen]

But it isn't, you're saying the 5% decrease in the S tier was not more than all of that change in the portfolio in the kind of new origination yield?

[Russell Hutchinson, Chief Financial Officer at Ally Financial]

No it wasn't more it was approximately the change.

[Moshe Orenbuch, Managing Director & Senior Analyst at TD Cowen]

Okay. And maybe you talked a lot about the vintage delinquency. Could you talk a little bit about where the portfolio sits now? Obviously, have the stuff as of year end in the 10 ks, but could you talk about like where it'll sit or maybe perhaps at mid year and at what point you get kind of that level of increased confidence that enough of that book is kind of in the out of the '22 vintage or perhaps even out of the '23 vintage and you're now concentrated on the '24 and five vintages.

[Russell Hutchinson, Chief Financial Officer at Ally Financial]

Yes. Look, I think the vintage rollover is progressing exactly as we expected. And that 2022 vintage is playing a smaller, smaller role. It's certainly in what we're seeing in terms of loss development. By the end of the year, we expect our '22 vintage to be about 10% of our book.

[Russell Hutchinson, Chief Financial Officer at Ally Financial]

And so, you know, as we look at our vintage delinquency, statistics, Our view is that the vintage delinquency and the vintage rollover is played out pretty much exactly as we would have expected. And we're pretty happy with where we are.

[Michael G. Rhodes, CEO at Ally Financial Inc]

Ross. Thanks, Rich. Moshe, it's a good question. And I mean, if you look at that chart that shows the vintages, like we as Russ said, we feel good with where we are. The unpredictability in the environment is probably the reason for, you know, a bit of our caution on being more prescriptive.

[Michael G. Rhodes, CEO at Ally Financial Inc]

And, know, as environment becomes clearer, you know, we may have a more definitive view. But, you know, right now, think we set out some objectives that we're trying to achieve, and we think we're tracking very nicely along that path.

[Moshe Orenbuch, Managing Director & Senior Analyst at TD Cowen]

Great. Thanks.

Our next question comes from Jon Arfstrom with RBC Capital Markets.

[Jon Arfstrom, Managing Director - Associate Director of US Research at RBC Capital Markets]

Thanks. Good morning.

[Russell Hutchinson, Chief Financial Officer at Ally Financial]

Good morning, John.

[Jon Arfstrom, Managing Director - Associate Director of US Research at RBC Capital Markets]

Most of my questions have been asked and answered. Think it's about margin and credit. Those are the two things. But Michael, bigger picture question for you, you've been in the chair for a while and the card business is now gone. What are you focused on from a strategic point of view? What are your top couple of priorities from here?

[Michael G. Rhodes, CEO at Ally Financial Inc]

Well, a great question. And, when I think about, our priorities, I think about first of all, we laid out the objective to achieve a mid teens returns, and we've been very clear in the three things that need to happen to achieve that. And so this is less strategic, more tactical, but we're very focused on executing in order to deliver, the commitments we've made. And, we think we're positioned to do so. Again, timing is to be determined, but we feel good that we're on the path.

[Michael G. Rhodes, CEO at Ally Financial Inc]

In terms of the strategic priorities, I think about strategy, boil it down to where you can compete, how you're to win. I feel really good about our portfolio as it is today. I think our dealer financial services, the whole ecosystem that we play in between the fee based products, insurance, the lending that we do both commercial and retail, the relationships that we have with our dealers, I really view us as one of one in terms of how we compete in that space and, feel very good about our ability to further deepen the relationships and continue to build on that business and absolute confidence in the team and how we're delivering. If I flip to our consumer bank where we have our deposit program going and we obviously have some invest. This is something that we wasn't me, the team before me took this and built this out of nothing and now they're largest digital only bank.

[Michael G. Rhodes, CEO at Ally Financial Inc]

And if I see the volumes that we have in that portfolio, the margin relative to other funding alternatives that we have and the customer growth that we're getting, the brand that supports this, and that brand is really one of the big intangibles in terms of what makes us successful. Again, I feel very good about where we are and again, I think there's lots of upside. If I'm being really simple, our share of FDIC insured deposits is almost about 1% And we're competing in the category that, is the growing category. We're not trying to grow or in current year, we're not trying to grow our deposit balances. We are looking to grow customers.

[Michael G. Rhodes, CEO at Ally Financial Inc]

And we think, more customers, typically lower, balance per customer positions us well to extract the most value, and to serve our customers in the best way possible. And then our Corporate Finance business, look, we've got a few key relationships that we've had over the years and we're growing those relationships. This is a competitive market to be fair, but we're being incredibly disciplined around deal structure and around pricing. And again, we've got a strong team there. And so when I look at the core business that we're in, I see a lot of upside here.

[Michael G. Rhodes, CEO at Ally Financial Inc]

And, to be fair, the price of admission is to deliver the strong returns that we know we can do in the medium term. But there's lots of good business to be had in the areas we're competing. And so we're not looking for any next new grand diversification pattern and we're not talking about M and A and things like that. We're talking about executing in places where we have a really definitive reason and demonstrate that we can win.

[Jon Arfstrom, Managing Director - Associate Director of US Research at RBC Capital Markets]

Okay, good. Thank you. I think it's important to get that out there. So thank you very much.

[Sean Leary, Chief Financial Planning and Investor Relations Officer at Ally Financial]
