1. Description of Business, Basis of Presentation, and Changes in Significant Accounting Policies
Ally Financial Inc. (together with its consolidated subsidiaries unless the context otherwise requires, Ally, the Company, we, us, or our) is a financial-services company with the nation’s largest all-digital bank and an industry-leading automotive financing and insurance business, driven by a mission to “Do It Right” and be a relentless ally for all stakeholders. The Company serves customers with deposits and securities brokerage and investment advisory services as well as automotive financing and insurance offerings. The Company also includes a seasoned corporate finance business that offers capital for equity sponsors and middle-market companies. Ally is a Delaware corporation and is registered as a BHC under the BHC Act and an FHC under the GLB Act.
Our accounting and reporting policies conform to U.S. GAAP. Additionally, where applicable, the policies conform to the accounting and reporting guidelines prescribed by bank regulatory authorities. Certain reclassifications may have been made to the prior periods’ financial statements and notes to conform to the current period’s presentation, which did not have a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the related disclosure, including those of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. It also includes estimates related to the income and expenses during the reporting period and the related disclosures. In developing the estimates and assumptions, management uses all available evidence; however, actual results could differ because of uncertainties associated with estimating the amounts, timing, and likelihood of possible outcomes. Our most significant estimates pertain to the allowance for loan losses, the valuations of automotive operating lease assets and residuals, the fair value of financial instruments, and the determination of the provision for income taxes.
The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements at March 31, 2026, and for the three months ended March 31, 2026, and 2025, are unaudited but reflect all adjustments that are, in management’s opinion, necessary for the fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. These unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements (and the related Notes) included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, as filed on February 25, 2026, with the SEC.
Significant Accounting Policies
Income Taxes
In calculating the provision for interim income taxes, in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes , we apply an estimated annual effective tax rate to year-to-date ordinary income. At the end of each interim period, we estimate the effective tax rate expected to be applicable for the full fiscal year. This method differs from that described in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K, which describes our annual significant income tax accounting policy and related methodology.
Refer to Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K regarding additional significant accounting policies.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (ASU 2024-03)
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Subtopic 220-40): Expense Disaggregation Disclosures . The purpose of this ASU is to provide additional disclosure that will allow investors to better understand an entity’s performance, better assess an entity’s prospects for future cash flows, and more easily compare an entity’s performance over time and in relation to other similar entities. This ASU will require that an entity disclose, on an interim and annual basis, a disaggregation in the notes to the financial statements of certain income statement line items if the line item includes any of the five required expense categories, which are defined as (1) purchases of inventory, (2) employee compensation, (3) depreciation (including amortization of a finance ROU asset and leasehold improvements), (4) intangible asset amortization, and (5) depletion expense. For the “employee compensation” category, banking entities may continue to present compensation expense on the face of the income statement in accordance with Regulation S-X Rule 210.9-04. The disclosure should include a qualitative description of other expenses included within the income statement line item that are otherwise not disaggregated. This ASU will also require entities to disclose their total selling expenses for each reporting period. Selling expenses are not defined within the ASU, which will require entities to determine and disclose how they define selling expenses on an annual basis. The amendments are effective on January 1, 2027, for annual reporting, and for interim reporting thereafter, with early adoption permitted. The amendments must be applied using either a prospective or retrospective approach. We do not expect the impact of these amendments to be material.

Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software (ASU 2025-06)
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software . The purpose of this ASU is to improve the accounting for internal-use software costs by aligning the accounting with modern software development processes. This ASU removes all references to sequential software development project stages from U.S. GAAP, but does not change the types of costs that are eligible to be capitalized. Under the updated guidance, entities will be required to begin capitalizing software project costs when (1) management has authorized and committed to funding the software project and (2) it is probable that the project will be completed, and the software will be used to perform the function intended (called the “probable-to-complete” threshold). When evaluating whether the probable-to-complete threshold is met, entities must consider whether there is significant development uncertainty associated with the software, including determining whether the software project contains technological innovations or novel, unique, or unproven functions or features. Entities should also consider if there are significant performance requirements (e.g., functions or features) of the software project that have not yet been identified or continue to be substantially revised. The amendments do not define what is considered “significant” and instead will require management judgment. The amendments are effective January 1, 2028, with early adoption permitted. The amendments can be applied using a prospective approach, a retrospective approach, or a modified approach that bases the adoption of the amendments on the completion status of the software project as of the adoption date. We are currently evaluating the impact of these amendments.
Purchased Loans (ASU 2025-08)
In November 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-08, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Purchased Loans. This ASU expands the gross-up approach applied to PCD financial assets to loans that are purchased and considered seasoned, excluding credit card loans, debt securities, and trade receivables accounted for under the revenue recognition guidance. Under the expanded gross-up approach, the amortized cost basis for a seasoned loan receivable will be the purchase price plus the initial measurement of the allowance for loan losses, on the acquisition date. Any remaining discount embedded in the purchase price will be amortized into interest income over the term of the loan. The purchased seasoned loan designation would be evaluated on a loan-by-loan basis. The resulting accounting will reflect no day-one provision expense on qualifying seasoned loans and a lower yield over time than what is currently presented under the non-PCD model. Loans acquired in a business combination would be considered seasoned. For a loan acquired through an asset transfer or by consolidating a VIE, the acquisition must be at least 90 days after loan origination and the acquirer must not have been involved in originating the loan for the loan to be considered seasoned. The amendments are effective January 1, 2027, with early adoption permitted and must be adopted on a prospective basis. We are currently evaluating the impact of these amendments.

2. Revenue from Contracts with Customers
Our primary revenue sources, which include financing revenue and other interest income, are addressed by other U.S. GAAP topics and are not in the scope of ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. As part of our Insurance operations, we recognize revenue from insurance contracts, which are addressed by other U.S. GAAP topics and are not included in the scope of this standard. Certain noninsurance contracts within our Insurance operations, including VSCs, GAP contracts, and VMCs, are included in the scope of this standard. All revenue associated with noninsurance contracts is recognized over the contract term on a basis proportionate to the anticipated cost emergence. Further, commissions and sales expense incurred to obtain these contracts are amortized over the terms of the related policies and service contracts on the same basis as premiums and service revenue are earned, and all advertising costs are recognized as expense when incurred.
The following table presents a disaggregated view of our revenue from contracts with customers. For further information regarding our revenue recognition policies and details about the nature of our respective revenue streams, refer to Note 1 and Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

(a) Yield is calculated using the effective yield of each security at the end of the period, weighted based on the fair value by security for the securities within each maturity distribution range. The effective yield considers the contractual coupon and amortized cost basis inclusive of hedge basis adjustments for dedesignated hedges, and excludes expected capital gains and losses. Yield does not consider hedging effects for securities in active hedges.
(b) Fair value includes basis adjustments for securities in closed portfolios with active hedges under the portfolio layer method. This includes a $ 31 million liability and a $ 13 million asset for agency mortgage-backed residential securities at March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025, respectively, and a $ 10 million asset and a $ 33 million asset for agency mortgage-backed commercial securities at March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025, respectively. These basis adjustments would be allocated to the amortized cost basis of specific securities within the pool if the hedge was dedesignated. Refer to Note 18 for additional information.
(c) Yield is calculated using the effective yield of each security at the end of the period, weighted based on amortized cost basis by security for the securities within each maturity distribution range. The effective yield considers the contractual coupon and amortized cost basis and excludes capital gains, capital losses, and the premium or discount on securities transferred from available-for-sale to held-to-maturity.
The balances of cash equivalents were $ 444 million and $ 107 million at March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025, respectively, and were composed primarily of money-market funds.

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, and March 31, 2025, management determined that there were no expected credit losses for securities in an unrealized loss position. This analysis considered a variety of factors including, but not limited to, performance indicators of the issuer, default rates, industry analyst reports, credit ratings, and other relevant information, which indicated that contractual cash flows are expected to occur. As a result of this evaluation, management determined that no credit reserves were required at March 31, 2026, or December 31, 2025.

(a) Certain consumer automotive loans are included in fair value hedging relationships. The amortized cost basis excludes an asset of $ 6 million related to basis adjustments for loans in closed portfolios with active hedges under the portfolio layer method at December 31, 2025. These basis adjustments would be allocated to the amortized cost basis of specific loans within the pool if the hedge was dedesignated. Refer to Note 18 for additional information.
We evaluate the credit quality of our commercial loan portfolio using regulatory risk ratings, which are based on relevant information about the borrower’s financial condition, including current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, and current economic trends, among other factors. We use the following definitions for risk ratings below Pass.
• Special mention — Loans that have a potential weakness that deserves management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or the institution’s credit position at some future date.
• Substandard — Loans that are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. These loans have a well-defined weakness or weakness that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.
• Doubtful — Loans that have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the additional characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, based on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.
• Loss — Loans that are considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as bankable assets is not warranted. This classification does not mean that the asset has absolutely no recovery or salvage value, but rather that it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off this basically worthless asset even though partial recovery may be effected in the future.

The regulatory risk classification utilized is influenced by internal credit risk ratings, which are based on a variety of factors. A borrower’s internal credit risk rating is updated at least annually, and more frequently when a borrower’s credit profile changes, including when we become aware of potential credit deterioration. The following tables present the amortized cost basis of our commercial finance receivables and loans by credit quality indicator based on risk rating and origination year.

Loan Modifications with Borrowers Experiencing Financial Difficulty
The following tables present the amortized cost basis of loans that were modified subsequent to origination during the three months ended March 31, 2026, and 2025, respectively, for each portfolio segment, by modification type. For additional information on loan modification types in scope of this disclosure, refer to Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The below tables exclude consumer mortgage finance receivables and loans currently enrolled in a trial modification program. Trial modifications generally represent a three-month period during which the borrower makes monthly payments under the anticipated modified payment terms. If the borrower successfully completes the trial loan modification program, the contractual terms of the loan are updated and the modification is considered permanent. As of March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025, there were $ 9 million and $ 8 million of consumer mortgage finance receivables and loans in a trial modification program, respectively.

8. Leasing
Ally as the Lessee
We have operating leases for certain of our corporate facilities, which have remaining lease terms of 1 month to 10 years. Most of the property leases have fixed payment terms with annual fixed-escalation clauses and include options to extend or terminate the lease. We do not include these term extensions or termination provisions in our estimates of the lease term if we do not consider it reasonably certain that the options will be exercised.
We also have operating leases for a fleet of vehicles that is used by our sales force for business purposes, with noncancelable lease terms of 367 days. Thereafter, the leases are month-to-month, up to a maximum of 48 months from inception.
During both the three months ended March 31, 2026, and March 31, 2025, we paid $ 9 million in cash for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities. These amounts are included in net cash provided by operating activities in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, and March 31, 2025, we obtained $ 7 million and $ 5 million, respectively, of ROU assets in exchange for new lease liabilities. As of March 31, 2026, the weighted-average remaining lease term of our operating lease portfolio was 5 years, and the weighted-average discount rate was 3.68 %, compared to 5 years and 3.66 % as of December 31, 2025.
The following table presents future minimum rental payments we are required to make under operating leases that have commenced as of March 31, 2026, and that have noncancelable lease terms expiring after March 31, 2026.

Ally as the Lessor
Investment in Operating Leases
We purchase consumer operating lease contracts and the associated vehicles from automotive dealerships or manufacturers after those contracts are executed. The amount we pay for an operating lease contract is based on the negotiated price for the vehicle less vehicle trade-in, down payment from the consumer, and available automotive manufacturer incentives. Under the operating lease, the consumer is obligated to make payments in amounts equal to the amount by which the negotiated purchase price of the vehicle (less any trade-in value, down payment, tax credits, or available manufacturer incentives) exceeds the contract residual value (including residual support) of the vehicle at lease termination, plus operating lease rental charges. The customer can terminate the lease at any point after commencement, subject to additional charges and fees. The consumer, dealership, or automotive manufacturer may have the option to purchase the vehicle at the end of the lease term, which generally ranges from 24 to 60 months, at the residual value of the vehicle, however it is not reasonably certain this option will be exercised and accordingly our consumer leases are classified as operating leases. In addition to the charges described above, the consumer is generally responsible for certain charges related to excess mileage or excessive wear and tear on the vehicle. These charges are deemed variable lease payments and, as these payments are not based on a rate or index, they are recognized as net depreciation expense on operating lease assets in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income as incurred.
When we acquire a consumer operating lease, we assume ownership of the vehicle. We require that property damage, bodily injury, collision, and comprehensive insurance be obtained by the lessee on all consumer operating leases. When vehicles are not purchased by

customers, the receiving dealer, or automotive manufacturer at scheduled lease termination, the vehicle is returned to us for remarketing. We generally bear the risk of loss to the extent the value of a leased vehicle upon remarketing is below the expected residual value after adjusting for any OEM residual value guarantees. At termination, our actual sales proceeds from remarketing the vehicle may be higher or lower than the estimated residual value after adjusting for any OEM residual value guarantees resulting in a gain or loss on remarketing, which is included in net depreciation expense on operating lease assets in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income. Excessive mileage or excessive wear and tear on the vehicle during the lease may impact the sales proceeds received upon remarketing. As of both March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025, consumer operating leases with a carrying value, net of accumulated depreciation, of $ 3.4 billion were covered by OEM residual value guarantees of approximately 50 % of the vehicles’ contract residual value.

Finance Leases
In our Automotive Finance operations, we also hold automotive leases that require finance lease treatment as prescribed by ASC Topic 842, Leases . Our total gross investment in finance leases, which consists of lease payment receivables, and is included in finance receivables and loans, net, on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, was $ 375 million, and $ 376 million as of March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025, respectively. Interest income on finance lease receivables was $ 8 million and $ 11 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, and 2025, respectively, and is included in interest and fees on finance receivables and loans in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income.

9. Securitizations and Variable Interest Entities
We securitize, transfer, and service consumer automotive loans. We often securitize these loans (also referred to as financial assets) using SPEs. An SPE is a legal entity that is designed to fulfill a specified limited need of the sponsor. Our principal use of SPEs is to obtain liquidity by securitizing certain of our financial assets. SPEs are often VIEs and may or may not be included on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Additionally, we opportunistically sell consumer automotive whole-loans to SPEs where we have a continuing involvement.
VIEs are legal entities that either have an insufficient amount of equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support or, as a group, the holders of the equity investment at risk lack the ability to control the entity’s activities that most significantly impact economic performance through voting or similar rights, or do not have the obligation to absorb the expected losses or the right to receive expected residual returns of the entity.
The VIEs included on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet represent SPEs where we are deemed to be the primary beneficiary, primarily due to our servicing activities and our beneficial interests in the VIE that could be potentially significant.
The nature, purpose, and activities of nonconsolidated SPEs are similar to those of our consolidated SPEs with the primary difference being the nature and extent of our continuing involvement. For nonconsolidated SPEs, the transferred financial assets are removed from our balance sheet provided the conditions for sale accounting are met. The financial assets obtained from the sale are primarily reported as cash or retained interests (if applicable). Liabilities incurred as part of these sales, are recorded at fair value at the time of sale and are reported as accrued expenses and other liabilities on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Upon the sale of the loans, we recognize a gain or loss on sale for the difference between the assets recognized, the assets derecognized, and the liabilities recognized as part of the transaction. With respect to our ongoing right to service the assets we sell, the servicing fee we receive represents adequate compensation, and consequently, we do not recognize a servicing asset or liability.
The pretax loss on sales of financial assets into nonconsolidated VIEs was $ 3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026. We had no pretax gains or losses during the three months ended March 31, 2025.
We provide long-term guarantee contracts to investors in certain nonconsolidated affordable housing entities and have extended a line of credit to provide liquidity. Since we do not have control over the entities or the power to make decisions, we do not consolidate the entities and our involvement is limited to the guarantee and the line of credit.
We are involved with various other nonconsolidated equity investments, including affordable housing entities and venture capital funds and loan funds. We do not consolidate these entities and our involvement is limited to our outstanding investment, additional capital committed to these funds plus any previously recognized LIHTCs that are subject to recapture.
Refer to Note 1 and Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K for further description of our securitization activities and our involvement with VIEs.

These assets represent our compliance with the risk retention rules under the Dodd-Frank Act, requiring us to retain at least five percent of the credit risk of the assets underlying asset-backed securitizations.
(f) Maximum exposure to loss represents the current unpaid principal balance of outstanding loans based on our customary representation and warranty provisions. This measure is based on the unlikely event that all the loans have underwriting defects or other defects that trigger a representation and warranty provision and the collateral supporting the loans are worthless. This required disclosure is not an indication of our expected loss.

(i) For certain nonconsolidated affordable housing entities, maximum exposure to loss represents the yield we guaranteed investors through long-term guarantee contracts. The amount disclosed is based on the unlikely event that the yield delivered to investors in the form of LIHTCs and other tax credits is recaptured. For nonconsolidated equity investments, maximum exposure to loss represents our outstanding investment, additional committed capital, and LIHTCs and other tax credits subject to recapture. The amount disclosed is based on the unlikely event that our committed capital is funded, our investments become worthless, and the tax credits previously delivered to us are recaptured. This required disclosure is not an indication of our expected loss.

(a) Refer to the section below titled Long-Term Debt for further details on assets restricted as collateral for payment of the related debt.
We periodically enter into term repurchase agreements—short-term borrowing agreements in which we sell securities to one or more investors while simultaneously committing to repurchase them at a specified future date, at the stated price plus accrued interest. As of March 31, 2026, the securities sold under agreements to repurchase consisted of $ 526 million in U.S. Treasury securities, of which $ 427 million in repurchase agreements were set to mature within 30 days, and the remaining $ 99 million of repurchase agreements are set to mature within 31 to 60 days.
The primary risk associated with these repurchase agreements is that the counterparty will be unable to perform under the terms of the contract. As the borrower, we are exposed to the excess fair value of the securities pledged over the amount borrowed. Daily mark-to-market collateral management is designed to limit this risk to the initial margin. However, should a counterparty declare bankruptcy or become insolvent, we may incur additional delays and costs. In some instances, we may place or receive cash collateral with counterparties under collateral arrangements associated with our repurchase agreements. As of March 31, 2026, we placed cash collateral of $ 10 million related to repurchase agreements. As of December 31, 2025, we placed cash collateral of $ 1 million related to repurchase agreements.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, there were 2.7 million in share-based awards excluded because their inclusion would have been antidilutive.
17. Regulatory Capital and Other Regulatory Matters
Ally is subject to enhanced prudential standards that have been established by the FRB under the Dodd-Frank Act, as amended by the EGRRCP Act and as applied to Category IV firms under the Tailoring Rules. Refer to the discussion below, however, about rules proposed by the U.S. banking agencies in 2023 that would significantly alter the Tailoring Rules. Currently, as a Category IV firm, Ally is (1) subject to supervisory stress testing on a two-year cycle, (2) required to submit an annual capital plan to the FRB, (3) exempted from company-run capital stress testing requirements, (4) required to maintain a buffer of unencumbered highly liquid assets to meet projected net stressed cash outflows over a 30-day planning horizon, (5) exempted from the requirements of the LCR and the net stable funding ratio (provided that our average wSTWF continues to remain under $50 billion), (6) exempted from the requirements of the supplementary leverage ratio, the countercyclical capital buffer, and single-counterparty credit limits, and (7) eligible to exclude most elements of accumulated other comprehensive income from regulatory capital. Even so, we are subject to rules enabling the FRB to conduct supervisory stress testing on a more or less frequent basis based on our financial condition, size, complexity, risk profile, scope of operations, or activities or based on risks to the U.S. economy. Further, we are subject to rules requiring the resubmission of our capital plan if we determine that there has been or will be a material change in our risk profile, financial condition, or corporate structure since we last submitted the capital plan or if the FRB determines that (a) our capital plan is incomplete or our capital plan or internal capital adequacy process contains material weaknesses, (b) there has been, or will likely be, a material change in our risk profile (including a material change in our business strategy or any risk exposure), financial condition, or corporate structure, or (c) the BHC stress scenario(s) are not appropriate for our business model and portfolios, or changes in the financial markets or the macroeconomic outlook that could have a material impact on our risk profile and financial condition require the use of updated scenarios. While a resubmission is pending, without prior approval of the FRB, we would generally be prohibited from paying dividends, repurchasing our common stock, or making other capital distributions. In addition, to satisfy the FRB in its review of our capital plan, we may be required to further cease or limit these capital distributions or to issue capital instruments that could be dilutive to shareholders. The FRB also may prevent us from maintaining or expanding lending or other business activities.
Basel Capital Framework
The FRB and other U.S. banking agencies have adopted risk-based and leverage capital rules that establish minimum capital-to-asset ratios for BHCs, like Ally, and depository institutions, like Ally Bank.
The risk-based capital ratios are based on a banking organization’s RWAs, which are generally determined under the standardized approach applicable to Ally and Ally Bank by (1) assigning on-balance-sheet exposures to broad risk-weight categories according to the counterparty or, if relevant, the guarantor or collateral (with higher risk weights assigned to categories of exposures perceived as representing greater risk), and (2) multiplying off-balance-sheet exposures by specified credit conversion factors to calculate credit equivalent amounts and assigning those credit equivalent amounts to the relevant risk-weight categories. The leverage ratio, in contrast, is based on an institution’s average unweighted on-balance-sheet exposures.

Under U.S. Basel III, Ally and Ally Bank must maintain a minimum Common Equity Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 4.5 %, a minimum Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 6 %, and a minimum total risk-based capital ratio of 8 %. On top of the minimum risk-based capital ratios, Ally and Ally Bank are subject to a capital conservation buffer requirement, which must be satisfied entirely with capital that qualifies as Common Equity Tier 1 capital. Failure to maintain more than the full amount of the capital conservation buffer requirement would result in automatic restrictions on the ability of Ally and Ally Bank to make capital distributions, including dividend payments and share repurchases and redemptions, and to pay discretionary bonuses to executive officers. U.S. Basel III also subjects Ally and Ally Bank to a minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio of 4 %. While the capital conservation buffer requirement for Ally Bank is fixed at 2.5 % of RWAs, the capital conservation buffer requirement for a Category IV firm, like Ally, is equal to its stress capital buffer requirement. The stress capital buffer requirement for Ally, in turn, is the greater of 2.5 % and the result of the following calculation: (1) the difference between Ally’s starting and minimum projected Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratios under the severely adverse scenario in the supervisory stress test, plus (2) the sum of the dollar amount of Ally’s planned common stock dividends for each of the fourth through seventh quarters of its nine-quarter capital planning horizon, as a percentage of RWAs. As of March 31, 2026, the stress capital buffer requirement for Ally was 2.6 %. Refer to the discussion below regarding a rule proposed by the FRB that would make certain changes to the methodology for determining the stress capital buffer requirement.
Ally and Ally Bank are currently subject to the U.S. Basel III standardized approach for credit risk but not to the U.S. Basel III advanced approaches for credit risk or operational risk. Ally is also not currently subject to the U.S. market-risk capital rule, which applies only to banking organizations with significant trading assets and liabilities. Since Ally and Ally Bank are currently not subject to the advanced approaches risk-based capital rules, we elected to apply a one-time option to exclude most components of accumulated other comprehensive income and loss from regulatory capital. At both March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025, Ally had $ 2.8 billion of accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of applicable income taxes, that was excluded from Common Equity Tier 1 capital. Refer to the discussion below about rules proposed by the U.S. banking agencies in 2023 that would require us to recognize all components of accumulated other comprehensive income and loss in regulatory capital, except gains and losses on cash-flow hedges where the hedged items are not recognized on our balance sheet at fair value. Refer also to Note 15 for additional details about our accumulated other comprehensive loss.
Failure to satisfy regulatory-capital requirements could result in significant sanctions—such as bars or other limits on capital distributions and discretionary bonuses to executive officers, limitations on acquisitions and new activities, restrictions on our acceptance of brokered deposits, a loss of our status as an FHC, or informal or formal enforcement and other supervisory actions—and could have a significant adverse effect on the Consolidated Financial Statements or the business, results of operations, financial condition, or prospects of Ally and Ally Bank.
The risk-based capital ratios and the Tier 1 leverage ratio play a central role in PCA, which is an enforcement framework used by the U.S. banking agencies to constrain the activities of depository institutions based on their levels of regulatory capital. Five categories have been established using thresholds for the Common Equity Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio, the Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio, the total risk-based capital ratio, and the Tier 1 leverage ratio: well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized, and critically undercapitalized. FDICIA generally prohibits a depository institution from making any capital distribution, including any payment of a cash dividend or a management fee to its BHC, if the depository institution would become undercapitalized after the distribution. An undercapitalized institution is also subject to growth limitations and must submit and fulfill a capital restoration plan. Although BHCs are not subject to the PCA framework, the FRB is empowered to compel a BHC to take measures—such as the execution of financial or performance guarantees—when PCA is required in connection with one of its depository-institution subsidiaries. At both March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025, Ally Bank met the capital ratios required to be well capitalized under the PCA framework.
Under FDICIA and the PCA framework, IDIs such as Ally Bank must be well capitalized or, with a waiver from the FDIC, adequately capitalized in order to accept brokered deposits, and even adequately capitalized institutions are subject to some restrictions on the rates they may offer for brokered deposits. Our brokered deposits totaled $ 5.6 billion at March 31, 2026, which represented 3.7 % of total deposit liabilities.

(b) Currently, there is no ratio component for determining whether a BHC is “well-capitalized.”
(c) Federal regulatory reporting guidelines require the calculation of adjusted quarterly average assets using a daily average methodology.
Under U.S. Basel III, Category I and II firms calculate their risk-weighted assets under two different methodologies—the standardized approach, and the advanced approaches that rely on internal models. These firms are generally bound to the more stringent of the two calculations. Category III and IV firms, and other banking organizations subject to risk-based capital standards apply only the standardized approach under U.S. Basel III. In March 2026, the U.S. banking agencies issued two proposed rules to customize and implement revisions to the global Basel III capital framework that were approved by the Basel Committee in December 2017.
The first proposed rule would replace this dual-stack framework for Category I and II firms with a single, new risk-weighted assets calculation referred to as the expanded risk-based approach. The advanced approaches would be removed from the regulatory capital framework. The standardized approach, as modified by the second proposed rule, would continue to apply to all other firms that are subject to risk-based capital standards. Banking organizations of any size, however, would have the option to elect to use the expanded risk-based approach instead of the revised standardized approach. Relative to the current dual-stack framework, the expanded risk-based approach is a standardized framework intended to promote simplicity, risk sensitivity, transparency, and consistency across the firms to which it would apply. Risk-weighted assets would be assigned to address credit risk, equity risk, operational risk, market risk, and CVA risk. Notably, operational risk capital requirements would be based on a new standardized calculation that would replace the current models-based approach. The proposal would also introduce a new framework for market risk and adjust the thresholds used to determine which firms—in addition to those in Category I and II—are subject to the market risk and CVA risk capital requirements.
The second proposed rule would make targeted revisions within the standardized approach currently used by Category III and IV firms, and other banking organizations subject to risk-based capital standards. These revisions are intended to improve the calibration and risk sensitivity for certain exposure categories. The proposal would require Category III and IV firms to recognize in regulatory capital most elements of accumulated other comprehensive income and loss. This change would be phased in over a period of five years. For firms subject to the standardized approach that do not elect to use the expanded risk-based approach, the proposal would also reduce the risk weight applicable to all assets not specifically assigned a different risk weight under the capital rule (such as consumer automotive loans and leases) from 100 percent to 90 percent, as well as reduce the risk weight applicable to corporate exposures from 100 percent to 95 percent. Residential mortgage exposures would generally be risk weighted using an LTV-based methodology under the proposal. While these risk weights are generally more punitive than those assigned to similar exposure categories under the proposed expanded risk-based approach, the standardized approach would not separately assign risk-weighted assets to address operational risk. The supervisory formula used to assign risk weights for securitization exposures would be adjusted to align with that of the proposed expanded risk-based approach with an output floor that is reduced from 20 percent to 15 percent.
Both proposals would modify the definition of regulatory capital by removing the threshold-based deduction of mortgage servicing assets, and all firms that use the expanded risk-based approach would be required to apply the more stringent threshold test to determine any capital deduction for certain DTAs and investments in the capital instruments of unconsolidated financial institutions. These proposals were issued without effective dates but generally assume transition periods that begin January 1, 2027, and have comment periods that expire June 18, 2026. As proposed, the phase-in of accumulated other comprehensive income and loss would be expected to significantly affect our

Ally Financial Inc. • Form 10-Q
levels of regulatory capital. The impact of lower capital levels would be partially offset by the recalibration of risk weights proposed in the expanded risk-based approach or revised standardized approach. Whether and when final rules related to these proposals may be adopted and take effect, as well as what changes to the proposed rules may be reflected in any final rules after public comments are considered, remain unclear.
In April 2025, the FRB issued a proposed rule that would modify certain aspects of its supervisory stress tests. Under the proposed rule, the stress capital buffer requirement for Category I–III firms subject to the capital plan rule would be calculated using a methodology that averages results from each of the prior two consecutive annual supervisory stress tests. For Category IV firms subject to the capital plan rule, like Ally, the stress capital buffer requirement would be determined under this two-year averaging methodology only if they choose or are otherwise required to be subject to consecutive supervisory stress tests. According to the FRB, this change is intended to reduce the volatility of a firm’s regulatory capital requirement inherent in the current approach of using the results from only the most recent supervisory stress test. Additionally, to provide firms additional time to adjust to their new regulatory capital requirements, the proposal would delay the annual effective date of a firm’s updated stress capital buffer requirement from October 1 to January 1 of the following year.
In October 2025, the FRB issued proposals to enhance the transparency and public accountability of its annual stress test, which is used to set the stress capital buffers for large BHCs, including Ally. The proposals request comment on several elements of the stress test, including the models and scenarios used; an enhanced disclosure process for the scenarios and material model changes in future stress test cycles; modifications to reporting forms; and an adjusted timeline for the annual process to accommodate a comment period for scenarios and material model changes.
In February 2026, the FRB issued final stress test scenarios for the 2026 supervisory stress test, and announced it intends to maintain stress capital buffer requirements at their current level until 2027 when new requirements can be calculated based on models that take public feedback into consideration. Whether and when final rules related to these stress-testing proposals may be adopted and take effect, as well as what changes to the proposed rules may be reflected in any such final rules, remain unclear.
Capital Planning and Stress Tests
Under the Tailoring Rules, we are generally subject to supervisory stress testing on a two-year cycle and exempted from mandated company-run capital stress testing requirements. We are also required to submit an annual capital plan to the FRB. Our annual capital plan must include an assessment of our expected uses and sources of capital and a description of all planned capital actions over a nine-quarter planning horizon, including any issuance of a debt or equity capital instrument, any dividend or other capital distribution, and any similar action that the FRB determines could have an impact on our capital. The plan must also include a detailed description of our process for assessing capital adequacy, including a discussion of how we, under expected and stressful conditions, will maintain capital commensurate with our risks and above the minimum regulatory capital ratios, will serve as a source of strength to Ally Bank, and will maintain sufficient capital to continue our operations by maintaining ready access to funding, meeting our obligations to creditors and other counterparties, and continuing to serve as a credit intermediary.
The Tailoring Rules align capital planning, supervisory stress testing, and stress capital buffer requirements for large banking organizations, like Ally. As a Category IV firm, Ally is expected to have the ability to elect to participate in the supervisory stress test—and receive a correspondingly updated stress capital buffer requirement—in a year in which Ally would not generally be subject to the supervisory stress test. Refer to the section titled Basel Capital Framework above for further discussion about our stress capital buffer requirements. During a year in which Ally does not undergo a supervisory stress test, we would receive an updated stress capital buffer requirement only to reflect our updated planned common-stock dividends. Ally did not elect to participate in the 2023 or 2025 supervisory stress tests, but was subject to the 2024 supervisory stress test.
We submitted our 2024 capital plan to the FRB in April 2024, and received an updated preliminary stress capital buffer requirement from the FRB in June 2024 of 2.6 %. The updated 2.6 % stress capital buffer requirement was finalized in August 2024, and became effective in October 2024. We submitted our 2025 capital plan to the FRB in April 2025, and received in June 2025 an updated preliminary stress capital buffer requirement that remained unchanged at 2.6 %. The 2.6 % stress capital buffer requirement was finalized in August 2025, and became effective in October 2025. We submitted our 2026 capital plan to the FRB in April 2026.
In December 2024, we accessed the unsecured debt capital markets and issued $ 500 million of subordinated notes, which qualify as Tier 2 capital for Ally under U.S. Basel III. During the years ended December 31, 2025, and 2024, we accessed the debt capital markets and issued an aggregate of $ 1.1 billion and $ 770 million, respectively, of credit-linked notes based on combined reference portfolios of $ 10.0 billion and $ 7.0 billion of consumer automotive loans. The proceeds from these credit-linked notes issuances constitute prefunded credit protection for mezzanine tranches of the respective reference portfolio and are recognized as restricted cash and cash equivalents in other assets on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. These transactions are structured to enable us to apply the securitization framework under U.S. Basel III when determining RWA for our retained exposure, which recognizes the credit risk mitigation benefits and generally provides lower risk weights relative to those assigned to consumer automotive loans that are not securitized. As of March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025, $ 10.7 billion and $ 12.1 billion, respectively, of our consumer automotive loans and related exposures were included as reference assets in these credit-linked notes transactions.
In December 2025, our Board authorized a share repurchase program, permitting us to repurchase up to $ 2.0 billion of our common stock under a multi-year program without a set expiration date. Our ability to make capital distributions, including our ability to pay dividends or repurchase shares of our common stock, will continue to be subject to the FRB’s review and our internal governance requirements,
45

including approval by our Board. The amount and size of any future dividends and share repurchases also will be subject to various factors, including Ally’s capital and liquidity positions, accounting and regulatory considerations (including any restrictions that may be imposed by the FRB and any changes to capital, liquidity, and other regulatory requirements that may be proposed or adopted by the U.S. banking agencies), Ally’s financial and operational performance, alternative uses of capital, the trading price of Ally’s common stock, and general market conditions. The share repurchase program does not obligate Ally to acquire a specific dollar amount or number of shares, and may be extended, modified, or discontinued at any time.

18. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
We enter into derivative instruments, which may include interest rate swaps, foreign-currency forwards, equity options, and interest rate options, in connection with our risk-management activities. Our primary objective for using derivative financial instruments is to manage interest rate risk associated with our fixed-rate and variable-rate assets and liabilities, foreign exchange risks related to our net investments in foreign subsidiaries, as well as foreign-currency denominated assets and liabilities, and other market risks related to our investment portfolio.
Interest Rate Risk
We monitor our mix of fixed-rate and variable-rate assets and liabilities and may enter into interest rate swaps, forwards, and options to achieve a more desired mix of fixed-rate and variable-rate assets and liabilities. We execute these trades to modify our exposure to interest rate risk by converting certain fixed-rate instruments to a variable-rate and certain variable-rate instruments to a fixed-rate. We use a mix of both derivatives that qualify for hedge accounting treatment and economic hedges that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment.
Derivatives qualifying for hedge accounting treatment can include receive-fixed swaps designated as fair value hedges of specific fixed-rate unsecured debt obligations, receive-fixed swaps designated as fair value hedges of specific fixed-rate FHLB advances, pay-fixed swaps designated as fair value hedges of securities within our available-for-sale portfolio, and pay-fixed swaps designated as fair value hedges of fixed-rate held-for-investment consumer automotive loan assets. Other derivatives qualifying for hedge accounting consist of interest rate floor contracts designated as cash flow hedges of the expected future cash flows in the form of interest receipts on a portion of our dealer floorplan commercial loans.
Our economic hedges include interest rate swaps that we offer as an accommodation to our customers within our Corporate Finance business. We offset the majority of the market risk of these customer swaps by entering into offsetting derivatives transactions with other counterparties.
We also entered into interest rate lock commitments and forward commitments that were executed as part of our mortgage business that met the accounting definition of a derivative.
We may execute other economic hedges, which could consist of interest rate swaps, forwards, and options to mitigate interest rate risk.
Foreign Exchange Risk
We enter into derivative financial instrument contracts to mitigate the risk associated with variability in cash flows related to our various foreign-currency exposures.

Table of Contents

Ally Financial Inc. • Form 10-Q
We enter into foreign-currency forwards with external counterparties as net investment hedges of foreign exchange exposure on our investment in foreign subsidiaries. Our equity is impacted by the cumulative translation adjustments resulting from the translation of foreign subsidiary results; this impact is reflected in our accumulated other comprehensive income and loss. We also periodically enter into foreign-currency forwards to economically hedge any foreign-denominated debt, centralized lending, and foreign-denominated third-party loans. These foreign-currency forwards used as economic hedges are recorded at fair value, with changes recorded as income or expense offsetting the gains and losses on the associated foreign-currency transactions.
Investment Risk
We enter into equity options to mitigate the risk associated with our exposure to the equity markets.
Credit Risk
We entered into various retail automotive-loan purchase agreements with certain counterparties. As part of those agreements, we may have been required to pay the counterparty at agreed upon measurement dates and determinable amounts if actual credit performance of the acquired loans on the measurement date was better than what was estimated at the time of acquisition. Based upon these terms, these contracts met the accounting definition of a derivative.
We enter into arrangements with certain counterparties through which we issue credit-linked notes covering a specified pool of loans. These notes contain an embedded derivative (referred to as credit-linked note derivatives), which provides us credit protection against the risk of loss when a specified credit event occurs on the reference pool.
Counterparty Credit Risk
Derivative financial instruments contain an element of credit risk if counterparties are unable to meet the terms of the agreements. Credit risk associated with derivative financial instruments is measured as the net replacement cost should the counterparties that owe us under the contract completely fail to perform under the terms of those contracts, with adjustments to reflect the exchange of collateral for margined transactions.
We manage our risk to financial counterparties through internal credit analysis, limits, and monitoring. Additionally, derivatives and repurchase agreements are entered into with approved counterparties using industry standard agreements.
We execute certain OTC derivatives, such as interest rate options, using bilateral agreements with financial counterparties. Bilateral agreements generally require both parties to post collateral in the event the fair values of the derivative financial instruments meet posting thresholds established under the agreements. If either party defaults on the obligation, the secured party may seize the collateral. Payments related to the exchange of collateral for OTC derivatives are recognized as collateral.
We also execute certain derivatives, such as interest rate swaps, with clearinghouses, which require us to post and receive collateral. For these clearinghouse derivatives, these payments are recognized as settlements rather than collateral.
Certain derivative instruments contain provisions that require us to either post additional collateral or immediately settle any outstanding liability balances upon the occurrence of a specified credit-risk-related event. No such specified credit-risk-related events occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2026, or 2025.
We placed cash and noncash collateral with counterparties totaling $ 13 million and $ 290 million, respectively, supporting our derivative positions at March 31, 2026, compared to $ 4 million and $ 328 million, of cash and noncash collateral, respectively, at December 31, 2025. These amounts include noncash collateral placed at clearinghouses and exclude cash and noncash collateral pledged under repurchase agreements. The receivables for cash collateral placed are included on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet in other assets. We granted our counterparties the right to sell or pledge the noncash collateral.
We received cash collateral from counterparties totaling $ 3 million at March 31, 2026. These amounts exclude cash and noncash collateral pledged under repurchase agreements. The payables for cash collateral received are included on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet in accrued expenses and other liabilities.

Balance Sheet Presentation
The following table summarizes the amounts of derivative instruments reported on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The amounts are presented on a gross basis, are segregated by derivatives that are designated and qualifying as hedging instruments or those that are not, and are further segregated by type of contract within those two categories.
Derivative contracts in a receivable and payable position exclude open trade equity on derivatives cleared through central clearing counterparties. Any associated margin exchanged with our central clearing counterparties are treated as settlements of the derivative exposure, rather than collateral. Such payments are recognized as settlements of the derivatives contracts in a receivable and payable position on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Notional amounts are reference amounts from which contractual obligations are derived and are not recorded on the balance sheet. In our view, derivative notional is not an accurate measure of our derivative exposure when viewed in isolation from other factors, such as market rate fluctuations and counterparty credit risk.

(b) These amounts include the amortized cost basis and unallocated basis adjustments of closed portfolios of available-for-sale securities used to designate hedging relationships in which the hedged item is the stated amount of assets in the closed portfolios anticipated to be outstanding for the designated hedge period. At March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025, the amortized cost basis and unallocated basis adjustments of the closed portfolios used in these hedging relationships was $ 13.5 billion and $ 13.7 billion, respectively, of which $ 13.2 billion and $ 13.4 billion, respectively, represents the amortized cost basis and unallocated basis adjustments of closed portfolios designated in an active hedge relationship. At March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025, the total cumulative basis adjustments associated with these hedging relationships was a $ 72 million liability and a $ 8 million liability, respectively, of which the portion related to discontinued hedging relationships was a $ 51 million liability and a $ 54 million liability, respectively. At both March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025, the notional amounts of the designated hedged items were $ 11.0 billion, with cumulative basis adjustments of a $ 21 million liability and a $ 46 million asset, respectively, which would be allocated across the entire remaining closed pool upon dedesignation of the hedge relationship. Refer to Note 6 for a reconciliation of the amortized cost basis and fair value of available-for-sale securities.
(c) These amounts include the carrying value of closed portfolios of loan receivables used to designate hedging relationships in which the hedged item is the stated amount of assets in the closed portfolios anticipated to be outstanding for the designated hedge period. At March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025, the carrying value of the closed portfolios used in these hedging relationships was $ 23.9 billion and $ 27.8 billion, respectively, of which $ 19.1 billion and $ 21.8 billion, respectively, represents the carrying value of closed portfolios designated in an active hedge relationship. At March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025, the total cumulative basis adjustments associated with these hedging relationships was a $ 23 million liability and $ 7 million asset, respectively, of which the portion related to discontinued hedging relationships was a $ 1 million asset at both March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025. At March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025, the notional amounts of the designated hedged items were $ 10.0 billion and $ 10.8 billion, respectively, with cumulative basis adjustments of a $ 24 million liability and a $ 6 million asset, respectively, which would be allocated across the entire remaining closed pool upon dedesignation of the hedge relationship.

19. Income Taxes
We recognized total income tax expense from continuing operations of $ 81 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to an income tax benefit of $ 59 million for the same period in 2025. The increase in income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2026, was primarily attributable to the tax effects of a loss on investments recognized as a result of our balance sheet repositioning of a portion of our available-for-sale securities during the three months ended March 31, 2025.
As of each reporting date, we consider existing evidence, both positive and negative, that could impact our view with regard to future realization of deferred tax assets. We continue to believe it is more likely than not that the benefit for certain foreign tax credit carryforwards and state net operating loss carryforwards will not be realized. In recognition of this risk, we continue to provide a partial valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets relating to these carryforwards and it is reasonably possible that the valuation allowance may change in the next 12 months.
20. Fair Value
Fair Value Measurements
For purposes of this disclosure, fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. Fair value is based on the assumptions we believe market participants would use when pricing an asset or liability. Additionally, entities are required to consider all aspects of nonperformance risk, including the entity’s own credit standing, when measuring the fair value of a liability.
U.S. GAAP specifies a three-level hierarchy that is used when measuring and disclosing fair value. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices available in active markets (i.e., observable inputs) and the lowest priority to data lacking transparency (i.e., unobservable inputs). An instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of significant input to its valuation. The following is a description of the three hierarchy levels.
Level 1 Inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date. Additionally, the entity must have the ability to access the active market, and the quoted prices cannot be adjusted by the entity.
Level 2 Inputs are other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in inactive markets for identical or similar assets or liabilities; or inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3 Unobservable inputs are supported by little or no market activity. The unobservable inputs represent management’s best assumptions of how market participants would price the assets or liabilities. Generally, Level 3 assets and liabilities are valued using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques that require significant judgment or estimation.
Judgment is used in estimating inputs to our internal valuation models used to estimate our Level 3 fair value measurements. Level 3 inputs such as interest rate movements, prepayment speeds, credit losses, and discount rates are inherently difficult to estimate. Changes to these inputs can have a significant effect on fair value measurements and amounts that could be realized.
The following are descriptions of the valuation methodologies used to measure material assets and liabilities at fair value and details of the valuation models, key inputs to those models, and significant assumptions utilized.
• Equity securities — We hold various marketable equity securities measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. Measurements based on observable market prices are classified as Level 1.
• Available-for-sale securities — We carry our available-for-sale securities at fair value based on external pricing sources. We classify our securities as Level 1 when fair value is determined using quoted prices available for the same instruments trading in active markets. We classify our securities as Level 2 when fair value is determined using prices for similar instruments trading in active markets. We perform pricing validation procedures for our available-for-sale securities.

• Derivative instruments — We enter into a variety of derivative financial instruments as part of our risk-management strategies. Certain of these derivatives are exchange traded, such as equity options. To determine the fair value of these instruments, we utilize the quoted market prices for those particular derivative contracts; therefore, we classified these contracts as Level 1.
We also execute OTC and centrally cleared derivative contracts, such as interest rate swaps, foreign-currency denominated forward contracts, interest rate options, and agency to-be-announced securities. We utilize third-party-developed valuation models that are widely accepted in the market to value these derivative contracts. The specific terms of the contract and market observable inputs (such as interest rate forward curves, interpolated volatility assumptions, or equity pricing) are used in the model. We classified these derivative contracts as Level 2 because all significant inputs into these models were market observable.
We also entered into interest rate lock commitments and forward commitments that were executed as part of our mortgage operations, certain of which met the accounting definition of a derivative and therefore were recorded as derivatives on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Interest rate lock commitments were valued with unobservable inputs, so they are classified as Level 3. Certain forward commitments are Level 2 and others are Level 3 depending on the valuation model inputs.
We purchased automotive finance receivables and loans from third parties as part of forward flow arrangements and, from time-to-time, executed opportunistic ad-hoc bulk purchases. As part of those agreements, we were required to pay the counterparty at agreed upon measurement dates and determinable amounts if actual credit performance of the acquired loans on the measurement date was better than what was estimated at the time of acquisition. Because these contracts met the accounting definition of a derivative, we recognized a liability at fair value for these deferred purchase price payments. The fair value of these liabilities was determined using a discounted cash flow method. To estimate cash flows, we utilized various significant assumptions, including market observable inputs (for example, forward interest rates) and internally developed inputs (for example, prepayment speeds, delinquency levels, and expected credit losses). These liabilities were valued using internal loss models with unobservable inputs, and were classified as Level 3.
We enter into arrangements with certain counterparties through which we issue credit-linked notes covering a specified pool of loans. These notes contain an embedded derivative, which provides us credit protection against the risk of loss when a specified credit event occurs on the reference pool. The embedded derivatives are valued using both market observable inputs and unobservable inputs, as such they are classified as Level 3.
We are required to consider all aspects of nonperformance risk, including our own credit standing, when measuring fair value of derivative assets and liabilities. We reduce credit risk on the majority of our derivatives by entering into legally enforceable agreements that enable the posting and receiving of collateral associated with the fair value of our derivative positions on an ongoing basis. In the event that we do not enter into legally enforceable agreements that enable the posting and receiving of collateral, we will consider our credit risk in the valuation of derivative liabilities through a DVA and the credit risk of our counterparties in the valuation of derivative assets through a CVA, if warranted. When measuring these valuation adjustments, we generally use credit default swap spreads.

Nonrecurring Fair Value
We may be required to measure certain assets and liabilities at fair value from time to time. These periodic fair value measures typically result from the application of lower-of-cost or fair value accounting or certain impairment measures. These items would constitute nonrecurring fair value measures.
The following tables display assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and still held at March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025, respectively. The amounts are generally as of the end of each period presented, which approximate the fair value measurements that occurred during each period.

Fair Value Option for Financial Assets
We elected the fair value option for an insignificant amount of conforming mortgage loans held-for-sale and certain non-conforming jumbo mortgage loans held-for-sale to mitigate earnings volatility by better matching the accounting for the assets with the related derivatives. Our intent in electing fair value measurement was to mitigate a divergence between accounting gains or losses and economic exposure for certain assets and liabilities.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The following table presents the carrying and estimated fair value of financial instruments, except for those recorded at fair value on a recurring basis presented in the previous section of this note titled Recurring Fair Value. When possible, we use quoted market prices to determine fair value. Where quoted market prices are not available, the fair value is internally derived based on appropriate valuation methodologies with respect to the amount and timing of future cash flows and estimated discount rates. However, considerable judgment is required in interpreting current market data to develop the market assumptions and inputs necessary to estimate fair value. As such, the actual amount received to sell an asset or the amount paid to settle a liability could differ from our estimates. Fair value information presented herein was based on information available at March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025.

In addition to the financial instruments presented in the above table, we have various financial instruments for which the carrying value approximates the fair value due to their short-term nature and limited credit risk. These instruments include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, cash collateral, accrued interest receivable, accrued interest payable, trade receivables and payables, on-demand deposit liabilities, and other short-term receivables and payables. Included in cash and cash equivalents are highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value due to interest rate, quoted price, or penalty on withdrawal. Classified as Level 1 under the fair value hierarchy, cash and cash equivalents generally expose us to limited credit risk and are so near maturity that they present insignificant risk of changes in value because of changes in interest rates.
21. Offsetting Assets and Liabilities
Our derivative contracts and repurchase/reverse repurchase transactions are generally supported by qualifying master netting and master repurchase agreements. These agreements are legally enforceable bilateral agreements that (i) create a single legal obligation for all individual transactions covered by the agreement to the nondefaulting entity upon an event of default of the counterparty, including bankruptcy, insolvency, or similar proceeding, and (ii) provide the nondefaulting entity the right to accelerate, terminate, and close-out on a net basis all transactions under the agreement and to liquidate or set off collateral promptly upon an event of default of the counterparty.

To further mitigate the risk of counterparty default related to derivative instruments, we maintain collateral agreements with certain counterparties. The agreements require both parties to maintain collateral in the event the fair values of the derivative financial instruments meet established thresholds. In the event that either party defaults on the obligation, the secured party may seize the collateral. Generally, our collateral arrangements are bilateral such that we and the counterparty post collateral for the obligation. Contractual terms provide for standard and customary exchange of collateral based on changes in the market value of the outstanding derivatives. A party posts additional collateral when their obligation rises or removes collateral when it falls, such that the net replacement cost of the nondefaulting party is covered in the event of counterparty default.
In certain instances, as it relates to our derivative instruments, we have the option to report derivative assets and liabilities as well as assets and liabilities associated with cash collateral received or delivered that is governed by a master netting agreement on a net basis as long as certain qualifying criteria are met. Similarly, for our repurchase/reverse repurchase transactions, we have the option to report recognized assets and liabilities subject to a master netting agreement on a net basis if certain qualifying criteria are met. At March 31, 2026, these instruments are reported as gross assets and gross liabilities on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. For additional information on derivative instruments and hedging activities, refer to Note 18.
The composition of offsetting derivative instruments, financial assets, and financial liabilities was as follows.

22. Segment Information
Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise that engage in business activity from which revenues are earned and expenses incurred for which discrete financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by our CODM in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. We define our CODM as the CEO. The CODM uses pretax income to evaluate income generated from segment assets, and to assess a segment’s performance by comparing the results, relative to other segments. Additionally, the budgeting and forecasting process monitors budget versus actual results with emphasis on pretax income, which are also used in assessing the performance of a segment.

We report our results of operations on a business-line basis through three operating segments: Automotive Finance operations, Insurance operations, and Corporate Finance operations, with the remaining activity reported in Corporate and Other. The operating segments are determined based on the products and services offered, and reflect the manner in which financial information is currently evaluated by our CODM and management. The following is a description of each of our reportable operating segments.
Dealer Financial Services
Dealer Financial Services comprises the following two segments.
• Automotive Finance operations — One of the largest full-service automotive finance operations in the United States providing automotive financing services to consumers, automotive dealers and retailers, companies, and municipalities. Our automotive finance services include providing retail installment sales contracts, loans and operating leases, offering term loans to dealers, financing dealer floorplans and other lines of credit to dealers, warehouse lines to automotive retailers, fleet financing, providing financing to companies and municipalities for the purchase or lease of vehicles, and vehicle-remarketing services.
• Insurance operations — A complementary automotive-focused business offering both consumer finance protection and insurance products sold primarily through the automotive dealer channel, and commercial insurance products sold directly to dealers. As part of our focus on offering dealers a broad range of consumer financial and insurance products, we provide VSCs, VMCs, and GAP products. We also underwrite select commercial insurance coverages, which primarily insure dealers’ vehicle inventory.
Corporate Finance operations
Our Corporate Finance operations provide senior secured asset-based and leveraged cash flow loans to primarily U.S.-based middle-market companies, with a focus on businesses owned by private equity sponsors. These loans are typically used for leveraged buyouts, refinancing and recapitalizations, mergers and acquisitions, growth, turnarounds, and debtor-in-possession financings. We also provide, through our Private Credit Finance business, asset managers and other financing sources with partial funding for their direct-lending activities, which is principally leveraged loans. We have a commercial real estate product primarily focused on lending to skilled nursing facilities, senior housing, and medical office buildings. Additionally, we have an energy and infrastructure vertical that finances large-scale energy and infrastructure projects.
Corporate and Other
Corporate and Other primarily consists of 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, original issue discount, and the residual impacts of our corporate FTP and treasury ALM activities. Corporate and Other also includes certain equity investments, which primarily consist of FHLB and FRB stock—as well as other equity investments through Ally Ventures, our strategic investment business, and reclassifications and eliminations between the reportable operating segments. Financial results related to Ally Invest, our digital brokerage and advisory offering, Ally Credit Card, the management of our consumer mortgage portfolio, and CRA loans and investments are also included within Corporate and Other. Consumer mortgage originations ceased during the second quarter of 2025, which has and will continue to result in a gradual run-off of our consumer mortgage loan portfolio. Additionally, we closed the sale of Ally Credit Card on April 1, 2025.
We utilize an FTP methodology for the majority of our business operations. The FTP methodology assigns charge rates and credit rates to classes of assets and liabilities on a match funded basis, utilizing a benchmark rate curve plus an assumed credit spread. The assumed credit spread is calculated based on a composite investment grade unsecured yield curve or based on advance rates published by the FHLB for any asset that is eligible to be pledged as collateral to the FHLB. While the baseline FTP components at Ally assume 100% debt funding, the methodology also incorporates a credit on the allocated capital for each business line based on the business line’s allocated cost of funding. For business lines not subject to an FTP funding allocation, the FTP methodology applies a capital charge to the amount of excess equity that the business line holds, relative to its regulatory capital and other adjustments. The net residual impact of the FTP methodology is included within the results of Corporate and Other.
The information presented in our reportable operating segments is based in part on internal allocations and methodologies, including a COH methodology, which involves management judgment. COH methodology is used for measuring the profit and loss of our reportable operating segments. We have various enterprise functions, such as technology, marketing, finance, compliance, internal audit, and risk. Operating expenses from the enterprise functions are either directly allocated to the reportable operating segment, indirectly allocated to the reportable operating segment utilizing the COH methodology, or remain in Corporate and Other. COH methodology considers the reportable operating segment expense base and enterprise function expenses. The reportable operating segment expense base is used to determine the allocation mix. This mix is applied to the allocable expenses in Corporate and Other to determine the COH for the respective reportable operating segment. Allocable enterprise function costs are primarily technology, marketing expenses, and marketing sponsorships. Generally, costs that remain within Corporate and Other that are not allocated to our reportable operating segments include operating costs of deposits, treasury activities, and other corporate activities.

23. Contingencies and Other Risks
As a financial-services company, we are regularly involved in pending or threatened legal proceedings and other matters and are or may be subject to potential liability in connection with them. These legal matters may be formal or informal and include litigation and arbitration with one or more identified claimants, certified or purported class actions with yet-to-be-identified claimants, and regulatory or other governmental information-gathering requests, examinations, investigations, and enforcement proceedings. Our legal matters exist in varying stages of adjudication, arbitration, negotiation, or investigation and span our business lines and operations. Claims may be based in law or equity — such as those arising under contracts or in tort and those involving banking, consumer-protection, securities, tax, employment, and other laws — and some can present novel legal theories and allege substantial or indeterminate damages.
Ally and its subsidiaries, including Ally Bank, also are or may be subject to potential liability under other contingent exposures, including indemnification, domestic and foreign taxes, self-insurance, and other miscellaneous contingencies.
We accrue for a legal matter or other contingent exposure when a loss becomes probable and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. Accruals are evaluated each quarter and may be adjusted, upward or downward, based on our best judgment after consultation with counsel. No assurance exists that our accruals will not need to be adjusted in the future. When a probable or reasonably possible loss on a legal matter or other contingent exposure could be material to our consolidated financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows, we provide disclosure in this note as prescribed by ASC Topic 450, Contingencies . Refer to Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information related to our policy for establishing accruals.
The course and outcome of legal matters are inherently unpredictable. This is especially so when a matter is still in its early stages, the damages sought are indeterminate or unsupported, significant facts are unclear or disputed, novel questions of law or other meaningful legal uncertainties exist, a request to certify a proceeding as a class action is outstanding or granted, multiple parties are named, or regulatory or other governmental entities are involved. Other contingent exposures and their ultimate resolution are similarly unpredictable for reasons that can vary based on the circumstances.
As a result, we often are unable to determine how or when threatened or pending legal matters and other contingent exposures will be resolved and what losses may be incrementally and ultimately incurred. Actual losses may be higher or lower than any amounts accrued or estimated for those matters and other exposures, possibly to a significant degree.
Subject to the foregoing, based on our current knowledge and after consultation with counsel, we do not believe that the ultimate outcomes of currently threatened or pending legal matters and other contingent exposures are likely to be material to our consolidated financial condition after taking into account existing accruals. In light of the uncertainties inherent in these matters and other exposures, however, one or more of them could be material to our results of operations or cash flows during a particular reporting period, depending on factors such as the amount of the loss or liability and the level of our income for that period.
24. Subsequent Events
Declaration of Common Dividend
On April 14, 2026, our Board declared a quarterly cash dividend of $ 0.30 per share on all common stock. The dividend is payable on May 15, 2026, to shareholders of record at the close of business on May 1, 2026.
Series D Preferred Stock Offering and Redemption of Series B Preferred Stock
On May 1, 2026, we issued 1,000,000 shares of 7.100 % Fixed-Rate Reset Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series D with $ 0.01 par value and liquidation preference of $ 1,000 per share. Dividends, if declared by our Board, will be paid on a non-cumulative basis quarterly, in arrears, at a rate equal to (i) 7.100 % from the original issue date to, but excluding, August 15, 2031, and (ii) from the August 15, 2031 dividend date and during each subsequent reset period at a rate per annum equal to the five-year treasury rate plus 3.148 %. We intend to treat the Series D Preferred Stock as “Additional Tier 1” capital (or its equivalent) for purposes of the capital adequacy rules of the Federal Reserve (or, as and if applicable, the capital adequacy rules or regulations of any successor appropriate federal banking agency) applicable to us.
On May 4, 2026, we announced that we will redeem all 1,350,000 outstanding shares of our 4.700 % Fixed-Rate Reset Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series B on May 15, 2026, at a redemption price equal to $ 1,000 per share plus any declared and unpaid dividends up to, but excluding, the redemption date. This represents 100 % of the issued and outstanding Series B Preferred Stock and an aggregate liquidation preference of $ 1.35 billion.
