Results of Operations
Key Drivers Income before income taxes was $2.0 billion and $2.2 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025. Changes in key drivers include the following:
•Finance charge income decreased $98 million primarily due to a decrease in the average balance of the finance receivables portfolio.
•Leased vehicle income increased $83 million primarily due to an increase in the average balance of the leased vehicles portfolio.
•Other income increased $115 million primarily due to growth in the insurance and vehicle protection businesses, partially offset by lower investment income resulting from a decrease in the average investment balance.
•Leased vehicle expenses increased $251 million primarily due to increased depreciation expense on electric vehicles (EVs).
•Operating expenses increased $256 million primarily due to growth in the insurance and vehicle protection businesses and related claims losses.
•Interest expense decreased $249 million primarily due to a decrease in the average debt outstanding and a lower effective rate of interest on our debt.
•Provision for loan losses increased $70 million primarily due to the reversal of the allowance for loan losses on finance receivables reclassified to held-for-sale during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 as well as credit mix of loan originations.
For the year ending December 31, 2026, we expect to recognize income before income taxes in the $2.5 billion to $3.0 billion range.

GENERAL MOTORS FINANCIAL COMPANY, INC.
Leased Vehicle Expenses Leased vehicle expenses increased primarily due to an increase in depreciation expense on EVs as well as a decrease in lease termination gains.
Provision for Loan Losses Provision for loan losses increased primarily due to an increase in loan origination volume as well as the reversal of the allowance for loan losses on finance receivables reclassified to held-for-sale during the three months ended September 30, 2025.
Interest Expense Interest expense decreased primarily due to a decrease in the average debt outstanding and a lower effective rate of interest on our debt.
Taxes Our consolidated effective income tax rates were 27.1% and 26.7% of income before income taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025.
Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)
Unrealized Gain (Loss) on Hedges Unrealized gain (loss) on hedges included in other comprehensive income (loss) was $1 million and $(36) million for the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025. The change in unrealized gain (loss) was primarily due to changes in the fair value of our foreign currency swap agreements.
Unrealized gains and losses on cash flow hedges of our floating rate debt are reclassified into earnings in the same period during which the hedged transactions affect earnings via principal remeasurement or accrual of interest expense.
Foreign Currency Translation Adjustments Foreign currency translation adjustments included in other comprehensive income (loss) were $(19) million and $30 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025. Translation adjustments resulted from changes in the values of our international currency-denominated assets and liabilities as the value of the U.S. Dollar changed in relation to international currencies. The foreign currency translation loss for the three months ended September 30, 2026 was primarily due to depreciating value of the Mexican Peso, partially offset by the appreciating value of the Chinese Yuan Renminbi in relation to the U.S. Dollar. The foreign currency translation gain for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was primarily due to appreciating values of the Mexican Peso, Brazilian Real, and Chinese Yuan Renminbi, partially offset by the depreciating value of the Canadian Dollar in relation to the U.S. Dollar.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
General Our primary sources of cash are finance charge income, leasing income and proceeds from the sale of terminated leased vehicles, net proceeds from credit facilities, securitizations, secured and unsecured borrowings, and collections and recoveries on finance receivables. Our expected material uses of cash are purchases and funding of finance receivables and leased vehicles, repayment or repurchases of secured and unsecured debt, funding credit enhancement requirements in connection with securitizations and secured credit facilities, interest costs, operating expenses, income taxes and dividend payments.
Typically, our purchase and funding of retail and commercial finance receivables and leased vehicles are initially financed by utilizing cash and borrowings on our secured credit facilities. Subsequently, we typically obtain long-term financing for finance receivables and leased vehicles through securitization transactions and the issuance of unsecured debt.

Our available liquidity varies quarterly based on factors including near-term debt issuances and maturities, as well as changes in our earning assets. At September 30, 2026, available liquidity decreased from December 31, 2025, primarily due to increased utilization of our secured credit facilities and a decrease in cash and cash equivalents. We generally target liquidity levels to support at least six months of our expected net cash outflows, including new originations, without access to new debt financing transactions or other capital markets activity. At September 30, 2026, available liquidity exceeded our liquidity targets.

Credit Ratings We receive ratings from four independent credit rating agencies: DBRS Limited, Fitch Ratings, Moody's Investors Service and Standard & Poor's. The credit ratings assigned to us from all the credit rating agencies are closely associated with their opinions on GM. As of October 14, 2026, all credit ratings remained unchanged since December 31, 2025.

(a)Includes committed and uncommitted revolving credit facilities backed by retail finance receivables and leases as well as loans to dealers for floorplan financing. The financial institutions providing the uncommitted facilities are not contractually obligated to advance funds under them, and no unused borrowing capacity is included in the facility amount. We had no advances outstanding on these uncommitted facilities at September 30, 2026.
(b)Includes committed and uncommitted facilities. The financial institutions providing the uncommitted facilities are not contractually obligated to advance funds under them, and no unused borrowing capacity is included in the facility amount. We had $2.7 billion of advances outstanding on these facilities at September 30, 2026.
Refer to Note 7 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion.
Securitization Notes Payable We periodically finance our retail and commercial finance receivables and leases through public and private term securitization transactions, where the securitization markets are sufficiently developed.
Our securitizations and credit facilities generally utilize special purpose entities, which are also variable interest entities that meet the requirements to be consolidated in our financial statements. Refer to Note 8 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion.
Unsecured Debt We periodically access the unsecured debt capital markets through the issuance of senior unsecured notes. At September 30, 2026, the aggregate principal amount of our outstanding unsecured senior notes was $53.7 billion.
We issue other unsecured debt through demand notes, commercial paper and other bank and non-bank funding sources. At September 30, 2026, we had $3.4 billion outstanding in demand notes and $2.6 billion under the U.S. commercial paper program.
Support Agreement - Leverage Ratio Our earning assets leverage ratio, calculated in accordance with the terms of the support agreement with GM (the Support Agreement), was 8.43x and 8.67x at September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, and the applicable leverage ratio threshold was 12.00x. In determining our earning assets leverage ratio (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, as each may be adjusted for derivative accounting.

Refer to Note 10 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for information on our representations and warranties.
Non-GAAP Measures
Net Income Attributable to Common Shareholder - adjusted We use net income attributable to common shareholder - adjusted, a non-GAAP measure, to calculate our return on average tangible common equity - adjusted because it excludes certain adjustments that are not considered part of our core operations. It is calculated by subtracting the dividends paid to preferred shareholders from net income, after any adjustments.
The following table presents our reconciliation of net income attributable to common shareholder - adjusted to net income, the most directly comparable GAAP measure:
| Four Quarters Ended | |||||||||||
| September 30, 2026 | September 30, 2025 | ||||||||||
| Net income attributable to common shareholder | $ | 1,775 | $ | 1,695 | |||||||

Adjustment - impairment charge(a)

- | 320 | |||||||||
| Net income attributable to common shareholder - adjusted | $ | 1,775 | $ | 2,015 | |||||||
(a)This impairment charge was to write down our SAIC-GMAC equity investment to its fair value.
Return on Average Common Equity Return on average common equity is a generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) measure widely used to measure earnings in relation to invested capital. We calculate return on average common equity as net income attributable to common shareholder divided by average common equity. Our return on average common equity increased to 12.6% for the four quarters ended September 30, 2026 from 12.4% for the four quarters ended September 30, 2025, primarily due to the $320 million impairment charge on our SAIC-GMAC equity investment recorded in the three months ended December 31, 2024.
Return on Average Tangible Common Equity - adjusted We use return on average tangible common equity - adjusted, a non-GAAP measure, to measure our contribution to GM's enterprise profitability and cash flows. We calculate return on average tangible common equity - adjusted as net income attributable to common shareholder - adjusted divided by average tangible common equity. Our return on average tangible common equity - adjusted decreased to 13.8% for the four quarters ended September 30, 2026 from 16.2% for the four quarters ended September 30, 2025, primarily due to decreased earnings.

Our calculation of these non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies due to potential differences between companies in the method of calculation. As a result, the use of these non-GAAP measures has limitations and should not be considered superior to, in isolation from, or as a substitute for, related U.S. GAAP measures. These non-GAAP measures allow investors the opportunity to measure and monitor our performance against our externally communicated targets and evaluate the investment decisions being made by management to improve our return on average tangible common equity. Management uses these measures in its financial, investment and operational decision-making processes, for internal reporting and as part of its forecasting and budgeting processes. For these reasons, we believe these non-GAAP measures are useful to our investors.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of condensed financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. requires management to make estimates and assumptions that 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 reported amount of revenue and expenses in the periods presented. Actual results could differ from those estimates, due to inherent uncertainties in making estimates, and those differences may be material. The critical accounting estimates that affect the condensed consolidated financial statements and the judgment and assumptions used are consistent with those described in Item 7. "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in our 2025 Form 10-K.
Forward-Looking Statements
This report contains several "forward-looking statements." Forward-looking statements are those that use words such as "believe," "expect," "intend," "plan," "may," "likely," "should," "estimate," "continue," "future" or "anticipate" and 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 SEC, including our 2025 Form 10-K and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2026, as filed with the SEC on April 28, 2026. 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:
•GM's ability to produce and sell new vehicles that we finance in the markets we serve;
•uncertainty regarding the impact of tariffs on the automotive industry, GM's business, and the general economy, including the financial health of our borrowers;
•dealers' effectiveness in marketing our financial products to consumers;
•the viability of GM-franchised dealers that are commercial loan customers;
•the sufficiency, availability and cost of sources of financing, including credit facilities, securitization programs and secured and unsecured debt issuances;
GENERAL MOTORS FINANCIAL COMPANY, INC.
•the adequacy of our underwriting criteria for loans and leases and the level of net charge-offs, delinquencies and prepayments on the loans and leases we purchase or originate;
•our ability to effectively manage capital or liquidity consistent with evolving business, operational or financing needs, risk management standards and regulatory or supervisory requirements;
•the adequacy of our allowance for loan losses on our finance receivables;
•our ability to maintain and expand our market share due to competition in the automotive finance industry from banks, credit unions, independent finance companies and other captive automotive finance subsidiaries;
•changes in the automotive industry that result in a change in demand for vehicles and related vehicle financing;
•the effect, interpretation or application of new or existing laws, regulations, accounting pronouncements, court decisions, legal proceedings, governmental investigations and other proceedings;
•adverse determinations with respect to the application of existing laws, or the results of any audits from tax authorities, as well as changes in tax laws and regulations, supervision, enforcement and licensing across various jurisdictions;
•the prices at which used vehicles are sold in the wholesale auction markets;
•vehicle return rates, our ability to estimate residual value at lease inception and the residual value performance on vehicles we lease;
•interest rate fluctuations and certain related derivatives exposure, including risks from our hedging activities;
•our joint ventures in China, which we cannot operate solely for our benefit and over which we have limited control;
•our ability to attract and retain qualified employees;
•pandemics, epidemics, disease outbreaks and other public health crises;
•our ability to secure private data, proprietary information, manage risks related to security breaches, cyberattacks and other disruptions to networks and systems owned or maintained by us or third parties and comply with enterprise data regulations in all key market regions;
•foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations and other risks applicable to our operations outside of the U.S.;
•changes in tax regulations and earnings forecasts could prevent full utilization of available tax incentives and tax credits;
•changes in local, regional, national or international economic, social or political conditions, including political uncertainty or instability and economic tensions between governments; and
•impact and uncertainties related to climate-related events and climate change legislation.
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.
