Ally Financial’s net income from continuing operations in Q4 2023 was notably low due to several factors. The **Automotive Finance Segment** experienced a sharp decline with pre-tax income falling by **$143 million** (from **$437 million** to **$294 million**).  **[0001193125-24-010758_d691923dex992.htm:15]** **[0001193125-24-010758_d691923dex993.htm:13]**  Additionally, the **Corporate and Other Segment** worsened, with losses deepening by **$283 million** (from a loss of **$179 million** to a loss of **$462 million**).  **[0001193125-24-010758_d691923dex992.htm:15]** **[0001193125-24-010758_d691923dex993.htm:13]**  Moreover, increased **Repositioning Items** (rising from **$57 million** to **$172 million**) and a more adverse **Change in Fair Value of Equity Securities** (a negative impact growing from **$49 million** to **$74 million**) also contributed to the significantly reduced net income.  **[0001193125-24-010758_d691923dex992.htm:27]** **[0001193125-24-010758_d691923dex993.htm:13]** 

Why was net income from continuing operations so low in Q4 2023?

The sharp turnaround in other comprehensive income in Q4 2023 was primarily driven by a **substantial recovery in the value of available-for-sale securities**, which reversed a previous large loss. Specifically, the net unrealized gain on these securities was **$260 million** in 2023 compared to a loss of **$(3,982) million** in 2022. Additional contributing factors included a **$693 million net unrealized loss on securities transferred to held-to-maturity**, a small positive change of **$3 million** from translation adjustments and net investment hedges, a **cash flow hedge loss of $(27) million**, and the absence of a positive impact from defined benefit pension plans compared to the **$117 million gain** in 2022.  **[0000040729-24-000004_ally-20231231.htm:211]** 

What drove the sharp turnaround in other comprehensive income in Q4 2023?

The decline in net income from continuing operations in FY 2023 was primarily driven by several factors. **Lower net financing revenue** resulted from a decrease from **$6,850 million in FY 2022** to **$6,201 million in FY 2023**, due to rising interest expenses as benchmark rates increased, which offset the higher interest income from variable-rate loans.  **[0001193125-24-010758_d691923dex992.htm:32]** **[0001193125-24-010758_d691923dex993.htm:31]**  Additionally, there was a **higher provision for loan losses**, which increased from **$1,399 million to $1,968 million**, reflecting adjustments related to prior reserve reductions and increased credit loss provisions in 2023.  **[0001193125-24-010758_d691923dex992.htm:32]** **[0000040729-24-000004_ally-20231231.htm:131]**  The company also experienced **increased noninterest expense**, which rose by **$476 million** because of higher direct and allocated costs associated with business growth and repositioning.  **[0001193125-24-010758_d691923dex992.htm:32]** **[0001193125-24-010758_d691923dex993.htm:31]**  Finally, a **decline in other revenue** related to changes in the fair value of equity securities, with a swing of **$322 million**, further contributed to the lower net income.  **[0001193125-24-010758_d691923dex992.htm:32]** **[0001193125-24-010758_d691923dex993.htm:31]**

Ally Financial’s operating cash flow experienced a significant decline in Q4 2023 primarily due to a **$162 million decrease in net income**, which was largely driven by **unfavorable market conditions and broader macroeconomic factors**.  **[0000040729-24-000012_ally-20240331.htm:150]** 

Why did operating cash flow plummet in Q4 2023?

The lower annual operating cash flow in FY 2023 was primarily driven by **unfavorable market conditions** created by the broader **macroeconomic environment**, which significantly impacted operating cash inflows.  **[0000040729-24-000004_ally-20231231.htm:190]** 

What factors contributed to the lower annual operating cash flow in FY 2023?

The significantly lower operating cash flow in Q3 2024 reflects several non-cash adjustments. Specifically, during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, there was a **$462 million decrease** in the net change in interest payable, a **$210 million decrease** in the net change in other assets, and a **$182 million decrease** in the net change in other liabilities. These decreases were only partially offset by a **$79 million increase** in net cash inflows from loans held-for-sale activity, ultimately leading to the lower operating cash flow observed in Q3 2024.  **[0000040729-24-000023_ally-20240930.htm:178]** **[0000040729-24-000023_ally-20240930.htm:8]** 

Why is operating cash flow significantly lower in Q3 2024?
