Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Information
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Any statements about the Company’s expectations, beliefs, plans, predictions, forecasts, objectives, assumptions, or future events or performance are not historical facts and may be forward-looking. These statements are often, but not always, made through the use of words or phrases such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “can,” “could,” “may,” “predicts,” “potential,” “should,” “will,” “estimate,” “plans,” “projects,” “continuing,” “ongoing,” “expects,” “intends,” and similar words or phrases. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, these statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties which are subject to change based on various important factors, some of which are beyond the Company’s control. Among the factors that could cause the Company’s actual performance to differ materially from those suggested by the forward-looking statements are:

the adverse impact of COVID-19 on our business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations;
our agreement with FCA (FCA US LLC, formerly Chrysler Group LLC) may not result in currently anticipated levels of growth and is subject to certain conditions that could result in termination of the agreement;
continually changing federal, state, and local laws and regulations could materially adversely affect our business;
adverse economic conditions in the United States and worldwide may negatively impact our results;
our business could suffer if our access to funding is reduced;
significant risks we face implementing our growth strategy, some of which are outside our control;
unexpected costs and delays in connection with exiting our personal lending business;
our business could suffer if we are unsuccessful in developing and maintaining relationships with automobile dealerships;
our financial condition, liquidity, and results of operations depend on the credit performance of our loans;
loss of our key management or other personnel, or an inability to attract such management and personnel;
certain regulations, including but not limited to oversight by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), the European Central Bank (ECB), and the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston (FRBB), whose oversight and regulation may limit certain of our activities, including share repurchase programs, the timing and amount of dividends and other limitations on our business;
future changes in our relationship with SHUSA and Banco Santander that could adversely affect our operations; and
the other factors that are described in Part I, Item IA – Risk Factors of the 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K, and impacts of the COVID-19 outbreak on our business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations, as noted in the Form 8-K filed with the SEC on April 10, 2020 and impacts of the new credit reserving framework, as noted in Part II, Item 1A of our Form 10-Q for the Quarter ended March 31, 2020 filed with the SEC on May 1, 2020.

If one or more of the factors affecting the Company’s forward-looking information and statements renders forward-looking information or statements incorrect, the Company’s actual results, performance or achievements could differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, forward-looking information and statements. Therefore, the Company cautions the reader not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking information or statements. The effect of these factors is difficult to predict. Factors other than these also could adversely affect the Company’s results, and the reader should not consider these factors to be a complete set of all potential risks or uncertainties as new factors emerge from time to time. Management cannot assess the impact of any such factor on the Company’s business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement. Forward-looking statements reflect the current beliefs and expectations of the Company's management and only speak as of the date of this document, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking information or statements, whether written or oral, to reflect any change, except as required by law. All forward-looking statements attributable to the Company are expressly qualified by these cautionary statements.

The assets of consolidated VIEs, presented based upon the legal transfer of the underlying assets in order to reflect legal ownership, that can be used only to settle obligations of the consolidated VIE and the liabilities of these entities for which creditors (or beneficial interest holders) do not have recourse to the Company’s general credit were as follows:
 March 31, 2020December 31, 2019
Assets
Restricted cash and cash equivalents$1,614,616  $1,629,870  
Finance receivables held for investment, net24,519,932  26,532,328

Various other liabilities117,024  188,093  
Total liabilities$35,475,690  $34,437,944  

Certain amounts shown above are greater than the amounts shown in the corresponding line items in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets due to intercompany eliminations between the VIEs and other entities consolidated by the Company. For example, for most of its securitizations, the Company retains one or more of the lowest tranches of bonds. Rather than showing investment in bonds as an asset and the associated debt as a liability, these amounts are eliminated in consolidation as required by GAAP.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)
(Unaudited)

1.Description of Business, Basis of Presentation, and Significant Accounting Policies and Practices
The Company is the holding company for SC Illinois, and its subsidiaries, a specialized consumer finance company focused on vehicle finance and third-party servicing and delivering service to dealers and customers across the full credit spectrum.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
Since January 1, 2020, the Company adopted the following FASB ASUs:

Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This guidance significantly changeschanged how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are measured at amortized cost. The amendment introducesintroduced a new credit reserving framework known as "Current Expected Credit Loss" (“CECL”), which replacesreplaced the incurred loss impairment framework in prior GAAP with one that reflects expected credit losses over the full expected life of financial assets and commitments, and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information, including estimation of future expected changes in macroeconomic conditions. Additionally, the standard changeschanged the accounting framework for purchased credit deteriorated HTMheld-to-maturity ("HTM") debt securities and loans, and dictates measurement of AFSavailable-for-sale ("AFS") debt securities using an allowance instead of reducing the carrying amount as it is under the prior OTTI framework. The Company adopted the new guidance on January 1, 2020, on a modified retrospective basis, which resulted in thean increase in the ACL of approximately $2.1 billion, a decrease to opening retained earnings of approximately $1.6 billion and a decrease in deferred tax liabilities, net of approximately $0.5 billion, , at January 1, 2020. The estimated increase was based on forecasts of expected future economic conditions and was primarily driven by the fact that the allowance now covers expected lifetime credit losses of the loan portfolios. The standard did not have a material impact on the Company's other financial instruments.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-4, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. This guidance provides temporary optional expedients to reduce the costs and complexity associated with the high volume of contractual modifications expected in the transition away from LIBOR as the benchmark rate in contracts and hedges. These optional expedients allow entities to negate many of the accounting impacts of modifying contracts and hedging relationships necessitated by reference rate reform, allowing them to generally maintain the accounting as if a change had not occurred. The Company adopted this standard during the three months ended March 31, 2020, and will electtelect the practical expedients relative to the Company’s contracts and hedging relationshiprelationships modified as a result of reference rate reform through December 31, 2022. These practical expedients did not have a material impact on the Company’s business, financial position, results of operations, or disclosures.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. The amendments in this ASU simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general tax accounting principles and simplifying other specific tax scenarios. The Company early adopted this update as of January 1, 2020, and it did not have any material impact to the Company’s business, financial position, results of operations, or disclosures.
The adoption of the following ASUs did not have a material impact on the Company’s business, financial position or results of operations.
ASU 2018-17, Consolidation (Topic 10): Targeted Improvements to Related Party Guidance for Variable Interest Entities
ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework- Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement

Accounting Policies
There have been no material changes (except as disclosed below) in the Company's accounting policies from those disclosed in Part II, Item 8 - Financial Statements and Supplementary Data in the 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
13




The change in the following policy is as a result of the Company's adoption of CECL standard, on January 1, 2020.

If the fair value of an AFS debt security declines below its amortized cost basis and the Company does not have the intention or requirement to sell the security before it recovers its amortized cost basis, declines due to credit factors will be recorded in earnings through the ACL for debt securities, and declines due to non-credit factors will be recorded in AOCI, net of taxes. Subsequent to recognition of a credit loss, improvements to the expectation of collectability will be reversed through the ACL for debt securities. If the Company has the intention or requirement to sell the security, the Company will record its fair value changes in earnings as a direct write down to the security. Increases in fair value above amortized cost basis are recorded in AOCI, net of taxes.
The Company conducts an impairment assessment quarterly on all AFS securities with a fair value that is less than their amortized cost basis to determine whether the loss is due to credit factors. Securities for which management expects risk of nonpayment of the amortized costscost basis is zero, do not have a reserve. The Company has a zero loss expectation when the securities are issued or guaranteed by certain US government entities, sincebecause these entities have a long history of no defaults and the highest credit ratings issued by rating agencies. In the event of a credit loss, the credit component of the impairment is recognized within non-interest income as a separate line item, and by the recording of a valuation reserve. The non-credit component is recorded within AOCI.
Purchased Credit Deteriorated or PCD loans
Loans that at acquisition the Company deems at acquisition to have more than insignificant deterioration in credit quality since origination (i.e., Purchased Credit Deteriorated or PCD loans) require the recognition of an allowance for credit losses at purchase. The allowance for credit losses is added to the purchase price at the date of acquisition to determine the initial amortized cost basis of the PCD loan. The allowance for credit losses is calculated using the same methodology as originated loans, as described below. Alternatively, the Company can elect the fair value option at the time of purchase for any financial asset. Under the FVO, loans are recorded at fair value with changes in value recognized immediately in income. There is no ACL for loans under aan FVO.
Credit Loss Expense and Allowance for Credit losses
General
Credit loss expenses are charged to operations in amounts sufficient to maintain the ACL at levels considered adequate to cover expected credit losses in the Company’s retail installment contracts. The allowance for expected credit losses on retail installment contracts is measured based on a lifetime expected loss model, which means that it is not necessary for a loss event to occur before a credit loss is recognized. Management’s estimate of expected credit losses is based on an evaluation of relevant information about past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the future collectability of the reported amounts. Management's evaluation takes into consideration the risks in the portfolio, past loss experience, specific loans with loss potential, geographic and industry concentrations, delinquency trends, economic forecasts and other relevant factors. While management uses the best information available to make such evaluations, future adjustments to the ACL may be necessary if conditions differ substantially from the assumptions used in making the evaluations.

The Company measures expected losses of all components on an amortized cost basis. For all loans except TDRs, the Company has elected to exclude accrued interest receivable balances from the measurement of expected credit losses because it applies a nonaccrual policy that results in the timely write off of uncollectible accrued interest. For loans on nonaccrual status, interest income is recognized on a cash basis, and the accrual of interest is resumed and reinstated if a delinquent account subsequently becomes 60 days or less past due.
Methodology


The Company uses several methodologies for the measurement of ACL. The ACL is made up of a quantitative and a qualitative component. To determine the quantitative component, the Company generally uses a DCF approach for determining ACL for TDRs and other individually assessed loans, and a non-DCF approach for other loans. Expected credit losses are estimated on an individual basis only if the individual asset or exposure does not share similar risk attributes with other financial assets or exposures, including when an asset is treated as a collateral dependent asset.

The ACL estimate includes significant assumptions including the reasonable and supportable economic forecast period, which considers the availability of forward-looking scenarios and their respective time horizons, as well as the reversion method to historical losses. This method results in a single, quantitatively consistent credit model across the
14




entire projection period as the macroeconomic effects in the historical data are controlled for the estimate of the long-run loss level.

Models
14




The Company uses a statistical methodology based on an ECL approach that focuses on forecasting the ECL components (i.e., probability of default, payoff, loss given default and exposure at default) on a loan level basis to estimate the expected future life time losses. The individual loan balances used in the models are measured on an amortized cost basis.
In calculating the probability of default and payoff, the Company developed model forecasts, which consider variables such as delinquency status, loan tenor and other credit quality indicators.
The loss given default component forecasts the extent of losses given that a default has occurred and considers variables such as collateral, loan-to-value and other credit quality indicators.
The exposure at default component captures the effects of expected partial prepayments and underpayments that are expected to occur during the forecast period and considers variable such as loan-to-value, collateral and other credit quality indicators.

The above ECL components are used to compute an ACL based on the weighted average of the results of the macroeconomic scenarios. The weighting of these scenarios is governed and approved quarterly by management through established committee governance. These ECL components are inputs to both the Company’s DCF approach for TDR and individually assessed loans and non-DCF approach for other loans.

When using a non-DCF method to measure the ACL, the Company measures ECL over the asset’s contractual term, adjusted for (a) expected prepayments; (b) expected extensions associated with assets for which management has a reasonable expectation at the reporting date that it will execute a TDR with the borrower; and (c) expected extensions or renewal options (excluding those that are accounted for as derivatives) included in the original or modified contract at the reporting date that are not unconditionally cancellable by the entity.
DCF approaches
A DCF method measures expected credit losses by forecasting expected future principal and interest cash flows and discounting them using the financial asset’s EIR. The ACL reflects the difference between the amortized cost basis (including accrued interest) and the present value of the expected cash flows. When using a DCF method to measure the ACL, the period of exposure is determined as a function of the Company’s expectations of the timing of principal and interest payments. The Company considers estimated prepayments in the future principal and interest cash flows when utilizing a DCF Method. The Company generally uses a DCF approach for TDRs.
Collateral-Collateral - Dependent Assets
A loan is considered a Collateral Dependent Financial Asset when (a) the Company determines foreclosure is probable or (b) the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and the Company expects repayment to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral. For all collateral dependent loans such as certain bankruptcy modifications, the Company measures the ACL as the difference between the loan’s amortized cost basis and the fair value of the underlying collateral as of the reporting date, adjusted for expected costs to sell if repayment of the asset depends on the sale of the collateral.sell. If repayment or satisfaction of the loan is dependent only on the operation, rather than the sale, of the collateral, the measure of credit losses does not incorporate estimated costs to sell. The collateral dependent loan is written down (i.e. charged off) to the fair value of the collateral adjusted for costs to sell (if repayment from sale is expected.) Any subsequent increase or decrease in the collateral’s fair value less cost to sell is recognized as an adjustment to the related loan’s ACL.
Negative allowance
Negative allowance is defined as the amount of future recovery expected for accounts that have already been charged-off. The Company performs an analysis of the actual historical recovery values to determine the pattern of recovery and expected rate of recovery over a given historic period, and uses the results of this analysis to determine negative allowance. Negative allowance reduces the ACL.
Qualitative Reserve
15




Regardless of the extent of the Company's analysis of customer performance, portfolio evaluations, trends or risk management processes established, a level of imprecision will always exist due to the judgmental nature of loan portfolio and/or individual loan evaluations. The Company maintains a qualitative reserve as a component of the ACL to recognize the existence of these exposures. Imprecisions include loss factors inherent in the loan portfolio that may not have been discreetly contemplated in deriving the quantitative component of the allowance, as well as potential variability in estimates.
15





The qualitative adjustment is also established in consideration of several factors such as inherent delays in obtaining information regarding a customer's financial condition or changes in its unique business conditions and the interpretation of economic trends.trends, changes in the nature and volume of our loan portfolio, trends in delinquency and collateral values, and concentration risks. This analysis is conducted at least quarterly, and the Company revises the qualitative component of the allowance when necessary in order to address improving or deteriorating credit quality trends or specific risks associated with loan pool classification, not otherwise captured in the quantitative models.

Governance

A comprehensive analysis of the ACL is performed by the Company on a quarterly basis. Management regularly monitors the condition of borrowers and assesses both internal and external factors in determining whether any relationships have deteriorated considering factors such as historical loss experience, trends in delinquency, changes in risk composition and underwriting standards, experience and ability of staff and regional and national economic conditions, trends and forecasts. Risk factors are continuously reviewed and revised by management when conditions warrant.

The Company's reserves are principally based on various models subject to the Company's model risk management framework. New models are approved by the Company'sSHUSA's Model Risk Management Committee. Models, inputs and documentation are further reviewed and validated at least annually, and the Company completes a detailed variance analysis of historical model projections against actual observed results on a quarterly basis. Required actions resulting from the Company's analysis, if necessary, are governed by its ACL Committee. Reserve levels are collectively reviewed for adequacy and approved quarterly by Board-level committees.

Changes in the assumptions used in these estimates could have a direct material impact on the credit loss expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and in the allowance for credit losses. The loan portfolio represents the largest asset on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company’s models incorporate a variety of assumptions based on historical experience, current conditions and forecasts. Management also applies its judgement in evaluating the appropriateness of the allowance. Material change to the ACL might be necessary if prevailing conditions differ materially from the assumptions and estimates utilized in calculating the ACL.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

4.3.    Credit Loss Allowance and Credit Quality
Credit Loss Allowance
During the three months ended March 31,first quarter of 2020, the Company changed the model used for estimating the ACL on retail installment contracts from incurred loss model to an expected lifetime loss model, as a result of the Company's adoption of the CECL standard on January 1, 2020.
The Company maintains an ACL on the retail installment contracts (including loans acquired from third party lenders that are considered to have no credit deterioration at acquisition) held for investment, excludingwhich excludes those loans measured at fair value in accordance with applicable accounting standards. The Company maintains an expected ACL for receivables from dealers based on risk ratings and individually evaluates loans for specific impairment as necessary. As of March 31,September 30, 2020 and 2019, the ACL for receivables from dealers is comprised entirely of general allowance as none of these receivables have been determined to be individually impaired. The Company estimates losses on the finance lease receivable portfolio based on delinquency status, loss experience to date, future expectation of losses as well as various economic factors.

In addition, credit loss expense includes a net of $72 million and $60 million in the credit loss expense related to retail installment contracts transferred to held for sale and returned to held for investment during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. Furthermore, credit loss expense includes $0 million and $20 million related to retail installment contracts transferred to held for sale during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively.
(b) Charge-offs for retail installment contracts includes partial write-down of loans to the collateral value less estimated costs to sell, for which a bankruptcy notice was received. There is no additional ACL on these loans.

The credit risk in the Company’s loan portfolios is driven by credit and collateral quality, and is affected by borrower-specific and economy-wide factors. In general, there is an inverse relationship between credit quality of loans and projections of impairment losses so that loans with better credit quality require a lower expected loss. The Company manages this risk through its underwriting, pricing strategies, credit policy standards, and servicing guidelines and practices, as well as the application of geographic and other concentration limits.

The Company estimates lifetime expected losses based on prospective information as well as account level models based on historical data. Unemployment, housing price index,HPI, and used vehicle index growth rates, along with loan level

characteristics, are the key inputs used in the models for prediction of the likelihood that the borrower will default in the forecasted period (the probability of default). The used vehicle index is also used to estimate the loss in the event of default. The historic volume of loan deferrals provided to customers impacted by COVID-19 has driven positive trends in delinquencies and severity (charge-offs) in the quarter, however, the inclusion of key loan characteristics as inputs to the models (including number of extensions) and management’s evaluation of qualitative factors ensure the allowance is appropriate.

The Company has determined the reasonable and supportable period to be three years at which time the economic forecasts generally tend to revert to historical averages. The Company utilizes qualitative factors to capture any

additional risks that may not be captured in either the economic forecasts or in the historical data.data, including consideration of the current levels of delinquency, charge-offs and used vehicle prices. The Company generally uses a third-party vendor's consensus baseline macroeconomic scenario for the quantitative estimate and additional positive and negative macroeconomic scenarios to make qualitative adjustment for macroeconomic uncertainty, and may consider adjustments to macroeconomic inputs based on market volatility. The baseline scenario was based on the macroeconomic uncertainty.latest consensus forecasts available which show an improvement in key variables in this quarter, including a sharp decrease in unemployment rates (which are a key driver to losses). The scenarios are periodically updated over a reasonable and supportable time horizon with weightings assigned by management and approved through established committee governance, as inputs to the estimate.

To capture potential additional default risk as well as potential decreases in used car prices resulting from COVID-19, for the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company adjusted the ACL using an additional outbreak specific economic forecast that considered a V-shaped economic recovery of COVID-19.governance.

The Company’s allowance for credit lossesACL increased $2.4$0.3 billion and $3.1 billion for the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2020. TheFor the three months ended September 30, 2020, the increase was primarily due to portfolio growth. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the primary drivers were an approximatelya $2.1 billion increase at CECL adoption on January 1, 2020, driven mainly by the addition of lifetime expected credit losses for non-TDR loans, and approximately $0.3 billion, net due to business drivers during the first quarter of 2020, which includes approximately $0.4 billion of additional reserves specific to COVID-19 risk, partially offset by decline in balances.risk.

Other portfolios

The ACL for the period end and its activity for Dealer Loans, Finance Lease receivable portfolio, and Purchased receivable portfolio - creditportfolio-credit deteriorated, for the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2020 and 2019, is insignificant.

For personal loans, the activity in the ACL was insignificant for the three months ended 2019. The remaining balance of personal loans, held for investment, was charged off during the quarter ended June 30, 2019.

Delinquencies

Retail installment contracts and personal amortizing term loans are generally classified as non-performing (or nonaccrual) when they are greater than 60 days past due as to contractual principal or interest payments. Dealer receivables are classified as non-performing when they are greater than 90 days past due. At the time a loan is placed in non-performing (nonaccrual) status, previously accrued and uncollected interest is reversed against interest income. If an account is returned to a performing (accrual) status, the Company returns to accruing interest on the loan. When an account is deferred, the loan is returned to accrual status during the deferral period and accrued interest related to the loan is evaluated for collectability.

The Company considers an account delinquent when an obligor fails to pay substantially all (defined as 90%) of the scheduled payment by the due date. In each case, the period of delinquency is based on the number of days payments are contractually past due.

A summary of delinquencies as of March 31,September 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019 is as follows:

Commercial Lending — The Company’s risk department performs a credit analysis and classifies certain loans over an internal threshold based on the commercial lending classifications. All the receivables from dealers, as of March 31,September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 were classified as “Pass.”
Troubled Debt Restructurings
In certain circumstances, the Company modifies the terms of its finance receivables to troubled borrowers. Modifications may include a temporary reduction in monthly payment, reduction in interest rate, an extension of the maturity date, rescheduling of future cash flows, or a combination thereof. A modification of finance receivable terms is considered a TDR if the Company grants a concession to a borrower for economic or legal reasons related to the debtor’s financial difficulties that would not otherwise have been considered. The purchased receivables portfolio - credit deteriorated, operating and finance leases, and loans held for sale, including personal loans, are excluded from the scope of the applicable guidance. The Company’s TDR balance as of March 31,September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 primarily consisted of loans that had been deferred or modified to receive a temporary reduction in monthly payment. As of March 31,September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, there were 0 receivables from dealers classified as a TDR.
A loan that has been classified as a TDR remains so until the loan is liquidated through payoff or charge-off. For loans on nonaccrual status, interest income is recognized on a cash basis, and the accrual of interest is resumed and reinstated if a delinquent account subsequently becomes 60 days or less past due. The recognition of interest income on TDR loans reflects management’s best estimate of the amount that is reasonably assured of collection and is consistent with the estimate of future cash flows used in the impairment measurement. Any accrued but unpaid interest is fully reserved for through the recognition of additional impairment, if not expected to be collected.
The table below presents the Company’s amortized cost (including accrued interest) of TDRs as of March 31,September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019:

ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease.

Most of our real estate leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term from one year to 15 years or more. The exercise of lease renewal options is at our sole discretion. The Company does not include any of the renewal options in the lease term as it is not reasonably certain that these options will be exercised.

Available-for-sale and Held-to-maturity debt securities

Debt securities expected to be held for an indefinite period of time are classified as AFS and are carried at fair value, with temporary unrealized gains and losses reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income within stockholder's equity, net of estimated income taxes. All of these securities are used to satisfy collateral requirements for our derivative financial instruments.

Debt securities that the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold until maturity are classified as HTM securities. HTM securities are reported at cost and adjusted for payments, charge-offs, amortization of premium and accretion of discount.

Realized gains and losses on sales of investment securities are recognized on the trade date and are determined using specific identification method and are included in earnings within Investment gain (losses) on sale of securities. Unamortized premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income over the estimated life of the security using the interest method.

6.    Variable Interest Entities

The Company transfers retail installment contracts and vehicle leases into newly formed Trusts that then issue one or more classes of notes payable backed by the collateral. The Company’s continuing involvement with these Trusts is in the form of servicing the assets and, generally, through holding residual interests in the Trusts. The Trusts are considered VIEs under GAAP and the Company may or may not consolidate these VIEs on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
For further description of the Company’s securitization activities, involvement with VIEs and accounting policies regarding consolidation of VIEs, see Part II, Item 8 - Financial Statements and Supplementary Data (Note 7) in the 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Certain amounts shown above are greater than the amounts shown in the corresponding line items in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets due to intercompany eliminations between the VIEs and other entities consolidated by the Company. For example, for most of its securitizations, the Company retains one or more of the lowest tranches of bonds. Rather than showing investment in bonds as an asset and the associated debt as a liability, these amounts are eliminated in consolidation as required by GAAP.

The Company retains servicing rights for receivables transferred to the Trusts and receives a monthly servicing fee on the outstanding principal balance. Supplemental fees, such as late charges, for servicing the receivables are reflected in fees, commissions and other income.

As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company was servicing $27,688,633 and $27,253,573, respectively, of gross retail installment contracts that have been transferred to consolidated Trusts. The remainder of the Company’s retail installment contracts remain unpledged.

Dividends
The Company paid a cash dividend of $0.22 per share in August 2020.
On September 30, 2020, the FRB extended the interim policy prohibiting share repurchases and limiting dividends to all CCAR banks to the average trailing net income. Based on SHUSA’s expected average trailing four quarters of net income, SC is prohibited from paying a dividend in the fourth quarter of 2020. Although SC’s standalone income is sufficient to declare and a pay a dividend, SC is consolidated into SHUSA’s capital plan and therefore is subject to the FRB’s interim policy that utilizes SHUSA’s average trailing income to determine the cap on common stock dividends. SC does not currently expect to declare or pay a dividend in the fourth quarter of 2020.

The Company enters into legally enforceable master netting agreements that reduce risk by permitting netting of transactions, such as derivatives and collateral posting, with the same counterparty on the occurrence of certain events. A master netting agreement allows two counterparties the ability to net-settle amounts under all contracts, including any related collateral posted, through a single payment. The right to offset and certain terms regarding the collateral process, such as valuation, credit events and settlement, are contained in ISDA master agreements. The Company has elected to present derivative balances on a gross basis even if the derivative is subject to a legally enforceable master netting (ISDA) agreement. Collateral that is received or pledged for these transactions is disclosed within the “Gross Amounts Not Offset in the condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet” section of the tables below. Information on the offsetting of derivative assets and derivative liabilities due to the right of offset was as follows, as of March 31,September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019:

(b)These amounts relate to the Chrysler Agreement. The Company paid a $150,000 upfront fee upon the May 2013 inception of the Chrysler Agreement. The fee is being amortized into finance and other interest income over a ten-year term. In addition,measurement date. Active markets are those in June 2019, in connection with the execution of the sixth amendment to the Chrysler Agreement, the Company paid $60,000 upfront fee to FCA. This fee is being amortized into finance and other interest income over the remaining term of the Chrysler Agreement.
(c)Derivative assets at fair value represent the gross amount of derivatives presented in the condensed consolidated financial statements. Refer to Note 7 - "Derivative Financial Instruments" to these condensed Consolidated Financial Statementswhich transactions for the detail of these amounts.

Operating Leases (SC as Lessee)

The Company has entered into various operating leases, primarily for office space. Operating leases are included within other assets as operating lease ROU assetsasset or liability occur in sufficient frequency and other liabilities within our consolidated balance sheets. ROU assets represent our rightvolume to useprovide pricing information on an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease.

Most of our real estate leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term from one year to 15 years or more. The exercise of lease renewal options is at our sole discretion. The Company does not include any of the renewal options in the lease term as it is not reasonably certain that these options will be exercised.

Supplemental information relating to these operating leases is as follows:
March 31, 2020
Operating leases-right of use assets$54,987 
Other liabilities75,666 
Weighted average lease term6
Weighted average discount rate3.4% 

Lease expense incurred totaled $3,562 and $3,466 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and is included within “other operating costs” in the income statement. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet; we recognize lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of operating lease liabilities was $4,251 during the three months ended March 31, 2020.

Available-for-sale debt securities

Debt securities expected to be heldLevel 3 inputs are those that are unobservable or not readily observable for an indefinite period of time are classified as available-for-sale (“AFS”)the asset or liability and are carried at fair value, with temporary unrealized gains and losses reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income within stockholder's equity, net of estimated income taxes. All of these securities are used to satisfy collateral requirements for our derivative financial instruments.measure fair value to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available.

Realized gains and losses on sales of investment securities are recognized on the trade date and are determined using specific identification method and is included in earnings within Investment gain (losses) on sale of securities. Unamortized premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income over the estimated life of the security using the interest method.

(a)The valuation is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques including a DCF on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivative, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs. The Company incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both its own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurement of its derivatives. In adjusting the fair value of its derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, the Company has considered the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral postings and guarantees. The Company utilizes the exception in ASC 820-10-35-18D (commonly referred to as the “portfolio exception”) with respect to measuring counterparty credit risk for instruments (Note 9).
(b)The Company's AFS debt securities includes U.S. Treasury securities that are valued utilizing observable market quotes. The Company obtains vendor trading platform data (actual prices) from a number of live data sources, including active market makers and interdealer brokers and its securities are therefore, classified as Level 2.
(c)For certain retail installment contracts reported in finance receivables held for investment, net, the Company has elected the fair value option. The fair values of debt securities AFSthe retail installment contracts are estimated using a DCF model are classified as Level 3. As of December 31, 2019, Company had used the most recent purchase price as the fair value for certain loans and hence classified those retail installment contracts as Level 2. Changes in the fair value are recorded in investment gains (losses), net in the condensed consolidated statement of income.
(d)The aggregate fair value of retail installment contracts in non-accrual status, as of MarchSeptember 30, 2020 and December 31, 2020:  2019, is $2,031 and $9,511, respectively.

(b) The estimated fair value for personal loans held for sale is calculated based on the lower of market participant view and a DCF analysis in which the Company uses significant unobservable inputs on key assumptions. The lower of cost or fair value adjustment for personal loans held for sale includes customer default activity and adjustments related to the net change in the portfolio balance during the reporting period.
(c) For loans that are considered collateral-dependent, such as certain bankruptcy loans, impairment is measured based on the fair value of the collateral, less its estimated cost to sell. For the underlying collateral, the estimated fair value is obtained using historical auction rates and current market levels of used car prices. No additional lower of cost or fair value expense was recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

(a)Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cashThe carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, including restricted cash, is at an approximated fair value as the instruments mature within 90 days or less and bear interest at market rates.
(b)Finance receivables held for investment, net — Finance receivables held for investment, net are carried at amortized cost, net of an allowance. These receivables exclude retail installment contracts that are measured at fair value on a recurring and nonrecurring basis. The estimated fair value for the underlying financial instruments is determined as follows:
Retail installment contracts held for investment and purchased receivables - credit deteriorated — As of December 31, 2019, the Company didused the most recent purchase price as the fair value for certain loans and therefore, classified those retail installment contracts as Level 2. The estimated fair value of all finance receivables at 0t rSeptember 30, 2020ecord any other-than-temporary impairment is estimated using a DCF model, and such receivables are classified as Level 3.
Finance lease receivables — Finance lease receivables are carried at gross investments, net of unearned income and allowance for lease losses. Management believes that the terms of these credit agreements approximate market terms for similar credit agreements.
Receivables from dealers and personal loans held for investment — Receivables from dealers and personal loans held for investment are carried at amortized cost, net of credit loss allowance. Management believes that the terms of these credit agreements approximate market terms for similar credit agreements.
(c)Investments in debt securities held to maturity - Investments in debt securities held to maturity are recorded at amortized cost and are priced by third-party pricing vendors. The third-party vendors use a variety of methods when pricing these securities that incorporate relevant observable market data to arrive at an estimate of what a buyer in the marketplace would pay for a security under current market conditions. These investment securities are, therefore, considered Level 2.
(d)Notes payable — facilities with third parties — The carrying amount of notes payable related to its AFS securities three months ended March 31, 2020.revolving credit facilities is estimated to approximate fair value. Management believes that the terms of these credit agreements approximate market terms for similar credit agreements as the facilities are subject to short-term floating interest rates that approximate rates available to the Company.
(e)Notes payable — secured structured financings — The estimated fair value of notes payable related to secured structured financings is calculated based on market observable prices and spreads for the Company’s publicly traded debt and market observed prices of similar notes issued by the Company, or recent market transactions involving similar debt with similar credit risks, which are considered Level 2 inputs. The estimated fair value of notes payable related to privately issued amortizing notes is calculated based on a combination of credit enhancement review, discounted cash flow analysis and review of market observable spreads for similar liabilities. In conducting this analysis, the Company uses significant unobservable inputs on key assumptions, which are considered Level 3 inputs.
(f)Notes payable — facilities with Santander and related subsidiaries — The carrying amount of floating rate notes payable to a related party is estimated to approximate fair value as the facilities are subject to short-term floating interest rates that approximate rates available to the Company. The fair value premium/discount of the fixed rate promissory notes are derived from changes in the Company’s unsecured cost of funds since the time of issuance and weighted average life of these notes.

9.11.    Investment Losses, Net
When the Company sells retail installment contracts, personal loans or leases to unrelated third parties or to VIEs and determines that such sale meets the applicable criteria for sale accounting, the Company recognizes a gain or loss for the difference between the cash proceeds and carrying value of the assets sold. The gain or loss is recorded in investment gains (losses), net. Lower of cost or market adjustments on the amortized cost of finance receivables held for sale are also recorded in investment gains (losses), net.

Legal and regulatory proceedings

Periodically, the Company, including its subsidiaries, is and in the future expects to be party to, or otherwise involved in, various claims, disputes, lawsuits, investigations, regulatory matters and other legal matters and proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. In view of the inherent difficulty of predicting the outcome of any such claims, disputes, lawsuit, investigations, regulatory matter andor legal proceeding, particularly where the claimants seek very large or indeterminate damages or where the matters present novel legal theories or involve a large number of parties, the Company generally cannot predict the eventual outcome of the pending matters, the timing of the ultimate resolution of the matters, or the eventual loss, fines or penalties related to the matter.matter, if any. Accordingly, except as provided below, the company is unable to reasonably estimate a range of its potential exposure, if any, to these claims, disputes, lawsuits, investigations, regulatory matters, and other legal proceedings at this time. Further, it is reasonably possible that actual outcomes or losses may differ materially from the Company’s current assessments and estimates and any adverse resolution of any of these matters against it could materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial conditionposition, liquidity, and results of operation.

In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, the Company establishes an accrued liability for litigation,legal and, regulatory matters and other legal proceedings when those matters present material loss contingencies that are both probable and estimable. In such cases, there may be an exposure to loss in excess of any amounts accrued. When a loss contingency is not both probable and estimable, the Company does not establish an accrued liability. As a litigation,legal or regulatory matter or other legal proceeding develops, the Company, in conjunction with any outside counsel handling the matter, evaluates on an ongoing basis whether the matter presents a material loss contingency that is probable and estimable. If a determination is made during a given quarter that a material loss contingency is probable and estimable, an accrued liability is established during such quarter with respect to such loss contingency. Thecontingency and the Company continues to monitor the matter for further developments that could affect the amount of the accrued liability previously established.

As of MarchSeptember 30, 2020 and December 31, 2020,2019, the Company has accrued aggregate legal and regulatory liabilities of $132 million.$45 million and $137 million, respectively. Further, the Company believes that the estimate ofestimates the aggregate range of reasonably possible losses for legal and regulatory proceedings, in excess of reserves established, for legal and regulatory proceedings is up to $11.5 million as of March 31,September 30, 2020. Set forth below are descriptions of the material lawsuits, regulatory matters and other legal proceedings to which the Company is subject.

12. Computation of Basic and Diluted Earnings per Common Share

Earnings per common share (“EPS”) is computed using the two-class method required for participating securities. Restricted stock awards are considered to be participating securities because holders of such shares have non-forfeitable dividend rights in the event of a declaration of a dividend on the Company’s common shares.

The calculation of diluted EPS excludes the effect of exercise or settlement that would be anti-dilutive for employee stock options of 34,554 and 168,728 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

The following table represents EPS numbers for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019:

13. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value measurement requires that valuation techniques maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and also establishes a fair value hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels as follows:
Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that can be accessed as of the measurement date. Active markets are those in which transactions for the asset or liability occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
Level 2 inputs are those other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
Level 3 inputs are those that are unobservable or not readily observable for the asset or liability and are used to measure fair value to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available.

(a)Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and cash equivalents — The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, including restricted cash, and cash equivalents, is at an approximated fair value as the instruments mature within 90 days or less and bear interest at market rates.
(b)Finance receivables held for investment, net — Finance receivables held for investment, net are carried at amortized cost, net of an allowance. These receivables exclude retail installment contracts that are measured at fair value on a recurring and nonrecurring basis. The estimated fair value for the underlying financial instruments areis determined as follows:
Retail installment contracts held for investment and purchased receivables - credit deteriorated — As of December 31, 2019, the Company had used the most recent purchase price as the fair value for certain loans and hencetherefore, classified those retail installment contracts as Level 2. The estimated fair value of all finance receivables at March 31,September 30, 2020 is estimated using a DCF model, and such receivables are classified as Level 3.
Finance lease receivables — Finance lease receivables are carried at gross investments, net of unearned income and allowance for lease losses. Management believes that the terms of these credit agreements approximate market terms for similar credit agreements.
Receivables from dealers and personal loans held for investment — Receivables from dealers and personal loans held for investment are carried at amortized cost, net of credit loss allowance. Management believes that the terms of these credit agreements approximate market terms for similar credit agreements.
(c)Investments in debt securities held to maturity - Investments in debt securities held to maturity are recorded at amortized cost and are priced by third-party pricing vendors. The third-party vendors use a variety of methods when pricing these securities that incorporate relevant observable market data to arrive at an estimate of what a buyer in the marketplace would pay for a security under current market conditions. These investment securities are, therefore, considered Level 2.
(d)Notes payable — facilities with third parties — The carrying amount of notes payable related to revolving credit facilities is estimated to approximate fair value. Management believes that the terms of these credit agreements approximate market terms for similar credit agreements as the facilities are subject to short-term floating interest rates that approximate rates available to the Company.
(d)(e)Notes payable — secured structured financings — The estimated fair value of notes payable related to secured structured financings is calculated based on market observable prices and spreads for the Company’s publicly traded debt and market observed prices of similar notes issued by the Company, or recent market
42




transactions involving similar debt with similar credit risks, which are considered levelLevel 2 inputs. The estimated fair value of notes payable related to privately issued amortizing notes is calculated based on a combination of credit enhancement review, discounted cash flow analysis and review of market observable spreads for similar liabilities. In conducting this analysis, the Company uses significant unobservable inputs on key assumptions, which are considered levelLevel 3 inputs.
(e)(f)Notes payable — facilities with Santander and related subsidiaries — The carrying amount of floating rate notes payable to a related party is estimated to approximate fair value as the facilities are subject to short-term floating interest rates that approximate rates available to the Company. The fair value premium/discount of the fixed rate promissory notes are derived from changes in the Company’s unsecured cost of funds since the time of issuance and weighted average life of these notes.
Financial Instruments Measured At Fair Value On A Recurring Basis
11.    Investment Losses, Net
When the Company sells retail installment contracts, personal loans or leases to unrelated third parties or to VIEs and determines that such sale meets the applicable criteria for sale accounting, the Company recognizes a gain or loss for the difference between the cash proceeds and carrying value of the assets sold. The gain or loss is recorded in investment gains (losses), net. Lower of cost or market adjustments on the amortized cost of finance receivables held for sale are also recorded in investment gains (losses), net.

The valuationCompany applies an aggregate portfolio approach whereby disproportionate income tax effects from accumulated other comprehensive income are released only when an entire portfolio (i.e., all related units of account) of a particular type is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques includingliquidated, sold or extinguished. 
Significant judgment is required in evaluating and reserving for uncertain tax positions. Although management believes adequate reserves have been established for all uncertain tax positions, the final outcomes of these matters may differ. Management does not believe the outcome of any uncertain tax position, individually or combined, will have a DCFmaterial effect on the expected cash flowsCompany’s business, financial position or results of each derivative. This analysis reflectsoperations. The reserve for uncertain tax positions, as well as associated penalties and interest, is a component of the contractual income tax provision.

Periodically, the Company, including its subsidiaries, is and in the future expects to be party to, or otherwise involved in, various claims, disputes, lawsuits, investigations, regulatory matters and other legal matters and proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. In view of the inherent difficulty of predicting the outcome of any such claims, disputes, lawsuit, investigations, regulatory matter or legal proceeding, particularly where the claimants seek very large or indeterminate damages or where the matters present novel legal theories or involve a large number of parties, the Company generally cannot predict the eventual outcome of the pending matters, the timing of the ultimate resolution of the matters, or the eventual loss, fines or penalties related to the matter, if any. Accordingly, except as provided below, the company is unable to reasonably estimate a range of its potential exposure, if any, to these claims, disputes, lawsuits, investigations, regulatory matters, and other legal proceedings at this time. Further, it is reasonably possible that actual outcomes or losses may differ materially from the Company’s current assessments and estimates and any adverse resolution of any of these matters against it could materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial position, liquidity, and results of operation.
(
In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, the Company establishes an accrued liability for legal and, regulatory proceedings when those matters present material loss contingencies that are both probable and estimable. In such cases, there may be an exposure to loss in excess of any amounts accrued. When a loss contingency is not both probable and estimable, the Company does not establish an accrued liability. As a legal or regulatory proceeding develops, the Company, in conjunction with any outside counsel handling the matter, evaluates on an ongoing basis whether the matter presents a material loss contingency that is probable and estimable. If a determination is made during a given quarter that a material loss contingency is probable and estimable, an accrued liability is established during such quarter with respect to such loss contingency and the Company continues to monitor the matter for further developments that could affect the amount of the accrued liability previously established.
a) The
As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company accrued aggregate legal and regulatory liabilities of $45 million and $137 million, respectively. Further, the Company estimates the fair valueaggregate range of its vehicles, whichreasonably possible losses for legal and regulatory proceedings, in excess of reserves established, is up to $11.5 million as of September 30, 2020. Set forth below are obtained either through repossession or lease termination, using historical auction ratesdescriptions of the material lawsuits, regulatory matters and current market levels of used car prices.
(b) The estimated fair value for personal loans held for sale is calculated based on the lower of market participant view and a DCF analysis inother legal proceedings to which the Company uses significant unobservable inputsis subject.

The right to offset and certain terms regarding the collateral process, such as valuation, credit events and settlement, are contained in ISDA master agreements. The Company has elected to present derivative balances on a gross basis even if the derivative is subject to a legally enforceable master netting (ISDA) agreement. Collateral that is received or pledged for these transactions is disclosed within the “Gross Amounts Not Offset in the condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet” section of the tables below.

The aggregate fair value of the interest rate swap agreements was included on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets in other assets and other liabilities, as appropriate. The interest rate cap agreements were included in other assets and the related options in other liabilities on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. See Note 10 - “Fair Value of Financial Instruments” in the accompanying condensed financial statements for additional disclosure of fair value and balance sheet location of the Company’s derivative financial instruments.
The Company enters into legally enforceable master netting agreements that reduce risk by permitting netting of transactions, such as derivatives and collateral posting, with the same counterparty on the occurrence of certain events. A master netting agreement allows two counterparties the ability to net-settle amounts under all contracts, including any related collateral posted, through a single payment. The right to offset and certain terms regarding the collateral process, such as valuation, credit events and settlement, are contained in ISDA master agreements. The Company has elected to present derivative balances on a gross basis even if the derivative is subject to a legally enforceable master netting (ISDA) agreement. Collateral that is received or pledged for these transactions is disclosed within the “Gross Amounts Not Offset in the condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet” section of the tables below. Information on the offsetting of derivative assets and derivative liabilities due to the right of offset was as follows, as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019:

10.    Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value measurement requires that valuation techniques maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and also establishes a fair value hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels as follows:
Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that can be accessed as of the measurement date. Active markets are those in which transactions for the asset or liability occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
37




Level 2 inputs are those other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
Level 3 inputs are those that are unobservable or not readily observable for the asset or liability and are used to measure fair value to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available.
Financial Instruments Measured At Fair Value On A Recurring Basis
The following tables present the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, and the level within the fair value hierarchy:

(a)The valuation is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques including a DCF on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivative, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs. The Company incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both its own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurement of its derivatives. In adjusting the fair value of its derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, the Company has considered the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral postings and guarantees. The Company utilizes the exception in ASC 820-10-35-18D (commonly referred to as the “portfolio exception”) with respect to measuring counterparty credit risk for instruments (Note 9).
(b)The Company's AFS debt securities includes U.S. Treasury securities that are valued utilizing observable market quotes. The Company obtains vendor trading platform data (actual prices) from a number of live data sources, including active market makers and interdealer brokers and its securities are therefore, classified as Level 2.
(c)For certain retail installment contracts reported in finance receivables held for investment, net, the Company has elected the fair value option. The fair values of the retail installment contracts are estimated using a DCF model are classified as Level 3. As of December 31, 2019, Company had used the most recent purchase price as the fair value for certain loans and hence classified those retail installment contracts as Level 2. Changes in the fair value are recorded in investment gains (losses), net in the condensed consolidated statement of income.
(d)The aggregate fair value of retail installment contracts in non-accrual status, as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, is $2,031 and $9,511, respectively.

(a) The Company transferred retail installment contracts from Level 2 to Level 3 during the three months ended March 31, 2020 because the fair value for these assets could not be determined by using readily observable inputs at March 31, 2020. There were no other material transfers in or out of Level 3 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and three and nine months ended September 30, 2019.
Financial Instruments Measured At Fair Value On A Nonrecurring Basis
The following table presents the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively:

(a) The Company estimates the fair value of its vehicles, which are obtained either through repossession or lease termination, using historical auction rates and current market levels of used car prices.
(b) The estimated fair value for personal loans held for sale is calculated based on the lower of market participant view and a DCF analysis in which the Company uses significant unobservable inputs on key assumptions. The lower of cost or fair value adjustment for personal loans held for sale includes customer default activity and adjustments related to the net change in the portfolio balance during the reporting period.
(c) For loans that are considered collateral-dependent, such as certain bankruptcy loans, impairment is measured based on the fair value of the collateral, less its estimated cost to sell. For the underlying collateral, the estimated fair value is obtained using historical auction rates and current market levels of used car prices. No additional lower of cost or fair value expense was recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Dividends(a)Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash — The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, including restricted cash, is at an approximated fair value as the instruments mature within 90 days or less and bear interest at market rates.
(b)Finance receivables held for investment, net — Finance receivables held for investment, net are carried at amortized cost, net of an allowance. These receivables exclude retail installment contracts that are measured at fair value on a recurring and nonrecurring basis. The estimated fair value for the underlying financial instruments is determined as follows:
Retail installment contracts held for investment and purchased receivables - credit deteriorated — As of December 31, 2019, the Company paidused the most recent purchase price as the fair value for certain loans and therefore, classified those retail installment contracts as Level 2. The estimated fair value of all finance receivables at September 30, 2020 is estimated using a DCF model, and such receivables are classified as Level 3.
Finance lease receivables — Finance lease receivables are carried at gross investments, net of unearned income and allowance for lease losses. Management believes that the terms of these credit agreements approximate market terms for similar credit agreements.
Receivables from dealers and personal loans held for investment — Receivables from dealers and personal loans held for investment are carried at amortized cost, net of credit loss allowance. Management believes that the terms of these credit agreements approximate market terms for similar credit agreements.
(c)Investments in debt securities held to maturity - Investments in debt securities held to maturity are recorded at amortized cost and are priced by third-party pricing vendors. The third-party vendors use a variety of methods when pricing these securities that incorporate relevant observable market data to arrive at an estimate of what a buyer in the marketplace would pay for a security under current market conditions. These investment securities are, therefore, considered Level 2.
(d)Notes payable — facilities with third parties — The carrying amount of notes payable related to revolving credit facilities is estimated to approximate fair value. Management believes that the terms of these credit agreements approximate market terms for similar credit agreements as the facilities are subject to short-term floating interest rates that approximate rates available to the Company.
(e)Notes payable — secured structured financings — The estimated fair value of notes payable related to secured structured financings is calculated based on market observable prices and spreads for the Company’s publicly traded debt and market observed prices of similar notes issued by the Company, or recent market transactions involving similar debt with similar credit risks, which are considered Level 2 inputs. The estimated fair value of notes payable related to privately issued amortizing notes is calculated based on a combination of credit enhancement review, discounted cash diviflow analysis and review of market observable spreads for similar liabilities. In conducting this analysis, the Company uses significant unobservable inputs on key assumptions, which are considered Level 3 inputs.
(f)dendNotes payable — facilities with Santander and related subsidiaries — The carrying amount of $0.22 in February 2020, and has declaredfloating rate notes payable to a cash dividend of $0.22 per share,related party is estimated to be paid on May 18, 2020,approximate fair value as the facilities are subject to shareholders of record asshort-term floating interest rates that approximate rates available to the Company. The fair value premium/discount of the closefixed rate promissory notes are derived from changes in the Company’s unsecured cost of business on May 8, 2020.

16.11.    Investment Losses, Net
When the Company sells retail installment contracts, personal loans or leases to unrelated third parties or to VIEs and determines that such sale meets the applicable criteria for sale accounting, the Company recognizes a gain or loss for the difference between the cash proceeds and carrying value of the assets sold. The gain or loss is recorded in investment gains (losses), net. Lower of cost or market adjustments on the amortized cost of finance receivables held for sale are also recorded in investment gains (losses), net.

41




Investment gains (losses), net was comprised of the following for the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2020 and 2019:
Three Months Ended Three Months EndedNine Months Ended

The lower of cost or market adjustments for the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2020 and 2019 included $110,199 $81,247, $278,144, $102,478 and $109,154, $308,899, respectively, in customer default activity, respectively, and net favorable adjustments of $47,241$24,649, $36,946, $15,023 and $41,463, $69,732, respectively, primarily related to net changes in the unpaid principal balance on the personal lending portfolio, all of which is classified as held for sale.


12.    Income Taxes
The Company recorded income tax expense of $172,476 (26.0% effective tax rate) and $82,156 (26.1% effective tax rate) during the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The Company recorded income tax of $137,161 (26.0% effective tax rate) and $283,684 (25.1% effective tax rate) during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
The Company is a party to a tax sharing agreement requiring that the unitary state tax liability among affiliates included in unitary state tax returns be allocated using the hypothetical separate company tax calculation method. The Company had a net receivable from affiliates under the tax sharing agreement of $1,003 and $11,010 at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, which was included in related party taxes receivable in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

The Company provides U.S. income taxes on earnings of foreign subsidiaries unless the subsidiaries’ earnings are considered indefinitely reinvested outside of the United States. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company has 0 earnings that are considered indefinitely reinvested.

The Company applies an aggregate portfolio approach whereby disproportionate income tax effects from accumulated other comprehensive income are released only when an entire portfolio (i.e., all related units of account) of a particular type is liquidated, sold or extinguished. 
Significant judgment is required in evaluating and reserving for uncertain tax positions. Although management believes adequate reserves have been established for all uncertain tax positions, the final outcomes of these matters may differ. Management does not believe the outcome of any uncertain tax position, individually or combined, will have a material effect on the Company’s business, financial position or results of operations. The reserve for uncertain tax positions, as well as associated penalties and interest, is a component of the income tax provision.

13.    Computation of Basic and Diluted Earnings per Common Share

Earnings per common share (“EPS”) is computed using the two-class method required for participating securities.

The calculation of diluted EPS excludes the effect of exercise or settlement that would be anti-dilutive for employee stock options of 52,114, 52,114, 0 and 24,507 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

The following table represents EPS numbers for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019:

Total commitments and contingencies$122,855 $155,055 

Following is a description of the agreements and legal matters pursuant to which the liabilities in the preceding table were recorded.

Chrysler Agreement

Underterms of the Chrysler Agreement, the Company must make revenue sharing payments to FCA and also must share with FCA when residual gains/(losses) on leased vehicles exceed a specified threshold. The Company had accrued $50,809 and $12,132 at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, related to these obligations. The Chrysler Agreement also requires that the Company maintain at least $5.0 billion in funding available for Floorplan Loans and $4.5 billion of financing dedicated to FCA retail financing. In turn, FCA must provide designated minimum threshold percentages of its subvention business to the Company.

Agreement with Bank of America
Until January 2017, the Company had a flow agreement with Bank of America whereby the Company was committed to selling up to $300,000 of eligible loans to the bank each month. The Company retains servicing on all sold loans and may receive or pay a servicer performance payment based on an agreed-upon formula if performance on the sold loans is better or worse, respectively, than expected performance at time of sale. Servicer performance payments are due six years from the cut-off date of each loan sale. The Company had accrued $1,508 and $2,503 at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, related to this obligation.
Agreement with CBP
43




Until May 2017, the Company sold loans to CBP under terms of a flow agreement and predecessor sale agreements. The Company retained servicing on the sold loans and owes CBP a loss-sharing payment capped at 0.5% of the original pool balance if losses exceed a specified threshold, established on a pool-by-pool basis. Loss-sharing payments are due the month in which net losses exceed the established threshold of each loan sale. The Company had accrued $392 and $1,429 at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, related to the loss-sharing obligation.
Other Contingencies
The Company is or may be subject to potential liability under various other contingent exposures. The Company had accrued $25,099 and $1,991 at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, for other miscellaneous contingencies.
Legal and regulatory proceedings

Periodically, the Company, including its subsidiaries, is and in the future expects to be party to, or otherwise involved in, various claims, disputes, lawsuits, investigations, regulatory matters and other legal matters and proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. In view of the inherent difficulty of predicting the outcome of any such claims, disputes, lawsuit, investigations, regulatory matter or legal proceeding, particularly where the claimants seek very large or indeterminate damages or where the matters present novel legal theories or involve a large number of parties, the Company generally cannot predict the eventual outcome of the pending matters, the timing of the ultimate resolution of the matters, or the eventual loss, fines or penalties related to the matter, if any. Accordingly, except as provided below, the company is unable to reasonably estimate a range of its potential exposure, if any, to these claims, disputes, lawsuits, investigations, regulatory matters, and other legal proceedings at this time. Further, it is reasonably possible that actual outcomes or losses may differ materially from the Company’s current assessments and estimates and any adverse resolution of any of these matters against it could materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial position, liquidity, and results of operation.

In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, the Company establishes an accrued liability for legal and, regulatory proceedings when those matters present material loss contingencies that are both probable and estimable. In such cases, there may be an exposure to loss in excess of any amounts accrued. When a loss contingency is not both probable and estimable, the Company does not establish an accrued liability. As a legal or regulatory proceeding develops, the Company, in conjunction with any outside counsel handling the matter, evaluates on an ongoing basis whether the matter presents a material loss contingency that is probable and estimable. If a determination is made during a given quarter that a material loss contingency is probable and estimable, an accrued liability is established during such quarter with respect to such loss contingency and the Company continues to monitor the matter for further developments that could affect the amount of the accrued liability previously established.

As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company accrued aggregate legal and regulatory liabilities of $45 million and $137 million, respectively. Further, the Company estimates the aggregate range of reasonably possible losses for legal and regulatory proceedings, in excess of reserves established, is up to $11.5 million as of September 30, 2020. Set forth below are descriptions of the material lawsuits, regulatory matters and other legal proceedings to which the Company is subject.

Securities Class Action and Shareholder Derivative Lawsuits

Deka Lawsuit: The Company is a defendant in a purported securities class action lawsuit (the "Deka Lawsuit") in the United States District Court, Northern District of Texas, captioned Deka Investment GmbH et al. v. Santander Consumer USA Holdings Inc. et al., No. 3:15-cv-2129-K. The Deka Lawsuit, which was filed in August 26, 2014, was brought against the Company, certain of its current and former directors and executive officers and certain institutions that served as underwriters in the Company’s IPO on behalf of a class consisting of those who purchased or otherwise acquired our securities between January 23, 2014 and June 12, 2014. The complaint alleges, among other things, that our IPO registration statement and prospectus and certain subsequent public disclosures violated federal securities laws by containing misleading statements concerning the Company’s ability to pay dividends and the adequacy of the Company’s compliance systems and oversight. In December 2015, the Company and the individual defendants moved to dismiss the lawsuit, which was denied. In December 2016, the plaintiffs moved to certify the proposed classes. In July 2017, the court entered an order staying the Deka Lawsuit pending the resolution of the appeal of a class certification order in In re Cobalt Int’l Energy, Inc. Sec. Litig., No. H-14-3428, 2017 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 91938 (S.D. Tex. June 15, 2017). In October 2018, the court vacated the order
44




staying the Deka Lawsuit and ordered that merits discovery in the Deka Lawsuit be stayed until the court ruled on the issue of class certification. On July 28, 2020, the Company executed a Stipulation of Settlement with the plaintiffs in the Deka Lawsuit that fully resolves all of the plaintiffs’ claims for a cash payment of $47 million. On August 13, 2020, the Court entered an Order Preliminarily Approving the Settlement and Providing For Notice, setting the Final Settlement Hearing for January 12, 2021.

In Re Santander Consumer USA Holdings, Inc. Derivative Litigation: In October 2015, a shareholder derivative complaint was filed in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, captioned Feldman v. Jason A. Kulas, et al., C.A. No. 11614-VCG (the "Feldman Lawsuit"). The Feldman Lawsuit names as defendants certain current and former members of the Board, and names the Company as a nominal defendant. The complaint alleges, among other things, that the current and former director defendants breached their fiduciary duties in connection with overseeing the Company’s nonprime vehicle lending practices, resulting in harm to the Company. The complaint seeks unspecified damages and equitable relief. In December 2015, the Feldman Lawsuit was stayed pending the resolution of the Deka Lawsuit. In September 2016, a shareholder derivative complaint was filed in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, captioned Jackie888, Inc. v. Jason Kulas, et al., C.A. No. 12775-VCG (the "Jackie888 Lawsuit"). The Jackie888 Lawsuit names as defendants current and former members of the Board, and names the Company as a nominal defendant. The complaint alleges, among other things, that the director defendants breached their fiduciary duties in connection with the Company’s accounting practices and controls. The complaint seeks unspecified damages and equitable relief. In April 2017, the Jackie888 Lawsuit was stayed pending the resolution of the Deka Lawsuit. In March 2018, the Feldman Lawsuit and Jackie888 Lawsuit were consolidated under the caption In Re Santander Consumer USA Holdings, Inc. Derivative Litigation, Consol. C.A. No. 11614-VCG. In January 2020, the Company executed a Stipulation and Agreement of Settlement, Compromise and Release with the plaintiffs in the consolidated action that, subject to Court approval, fully resolves all of the plaintiffs’ claims in the Feldman Lawsuit and the Jackie888 Lawsuit. The Stipulation provides for the settlement of the consolidated action and, in return, the Company has enacted or will enact and implement certain corporate governance reforms and enhancements. The Settlement Hearing at which the Court would consider the settlement was scheduled for May 27, 2020, but a shareholder filed its notice of intent to object to the settlement and the parties agreed to postpone the Settlement Hearing to a later date.

Consumer Lending Cases
The Company is also party to various lawsuits pending in federal and state courts alleging violations of state and federal consumer lending laws, including, without limitation, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, Fair Credit Reporting Act, Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act, the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, the Truth in Lending Act, wrongful repossession laws, usury laws and laws related to unfair and deceptive acts or practices. In general, these cases seek damages and equitable and/or other relief.

Regulatory Investigations and Proceedings
The Company is party to, or is periodically otherwise involved in, reviews, investigations, examinations and proceedings (both formal and informal), and information-gathering requests, by government and self-regulatory agencies, including the FRBB, the CFPB, the DOJ, the SEC, the FTC and various state regulatory and enforcement agencies.

Currently, such matters include, but are not limited to, the following:

The Company received a civil subpoena from the DOJ in 2014, under FIRREA, requesting the production of documents and communications that, among other things, relate to the underwriting and securitization of nonprime vehicle loans. The Company has responded to these requests within the deadlines specified in the subpoena and has otherwise cooperated with the DOJ with respect to this matter.
In October 2014, May 2015, July 2015 and February 2017, the Company received subpoenas and/or Civil Investigative Demands (CIDs) from the Attorneys General of California, Illinois, Oregon, New Jersey, Maryland and Washington under the authority of each state’s consumer protection statutes. On May 19, 2020, all of the Consortium members and the Company announced a settlement of the investigation requiring the Company to: (1) pay a total of $65 million to the states for consumer remediation; (2) pay $5 million to the states for investigation costs; (3) pay up to $2 million in settlement administration costs; (4) provide $45 million in prospective debt forgiveness; (5) provide deficiency waivers for a defined class of SC customers; and (6) implement certain enhancements to its loan underwriting process.

45




In August 2017, the Company received a CID from the CFPB. The stated purpose of the CID is to determine whether the Company has complied with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and related regulations. The Company has responded to these requests within the deadlines specified in the CIDs and has otherwise cooperated with the CFPB with respect to this matter. In February 2020, the Company received a communication from the CFPB inviting the Company to respond to the CFPB’s identified issues in the form of a Notice of Opportunity to Respond and Advise (“NORA”) during which the CFPB identified potential claims it might bring against the Company.

2017 Written Agreement with the Federal Reserve: In March 2017, the Company and SHUSA entered into a written agreement with the FRBB. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company is required to enhance its compliance risk management program, Board oversight of risk management and senior management oversight of risk management, and SHUSA is required to enhance its oversight of the Company’s management and operations.

Mississippi Attorney General Lawsuit: In January 2017, the Attorney General of Mississippi filed a lawsuit against the Company in the Chancery Court of the First Judicial District of Hinds County, Mississippi, captioned State of Mississippi ex rel. Jim Hood, Attorney General of the State of Mississippi v. Santander Consumer USA Inc., C.A. # G-2017-28. The complaint alleges that the Company engaged in unfair and deceptive business practices to induce Mississippi consumers to apply for loans that they could not afford. The complaint asserts claims under the Mississippi Consumer Protection Act (the MCPA) and seeks unspecified civil penalties, equitable relief and other relief. In March 2017, the Company filed motions to dismiss the lawsuit and the parties are proceeding with discovery.

As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the total unused credit available to customers was $2.8 billion and $3.0 billion, respectively. In 2020, the Company purchased $0.8 billion of receivables, out of the $3 billion unused credit available to customers as of December 31, 2019.

How the Company Assesses its Business Performance

Net income and the associated return on assets and equity, are the primary metrics by which the Company judges the performance of its business. Accordingly, the Company closely monitors the primary drivers of net income:

Net financing income — The Company tracks the spread between the interest and finance charge income earned on assets and the interest expense incurred on liabilities, and continually monitors the components of its yield and cost of funds. The Company’s effective interest rate on borrowing is driven by various items including, but not limited to, credit quality of the collateral assigned, used/unused portion of facilities, and reference rate for the credit spread. These drivers, as well as external rate trends, including the swap curve, spot and forward rates are monitored.

Net credit losses — The Company performs net credit loss analysis at the vintage level for retail installment contracts, loans and leases, and at the pool level for purchased portfolios - creditportfolios-credit deteriorated, enabling it to pinpoint drivers of any unusual or unexpected trends. The Company also monitors its and industry-wide recovery rates as well as industry-wide rates. Additionally, because delinquencies are an early indicator of future net credit losses, the Company analyzes delinquency trends, adjusting for seasonality, to determine if the Company’s loans are performing in line with original estimations. The net credit loss analysis does not include considerations of the Company’s estimated allowance for credit losses.ACL.

Other income — The Company’s flow agreements and third-party servicing agreements have resulted in a large portfolio of assets serviced for others. These assets provide a steady stream of servicing income and may provide a gain or loss on sale. The Company monitors the size of the portfolio and average servicing fee rate and gain.
52




Additionally, due to the classification of the Company’s personal lending portfolio as held for sale upon the decision to exit the personal lending line of business, adjustments to record this portfolio at the lower of cost or market are included in investment gains (losses), net, which is a component of other income (losses).

Operating expenses — The Company assesses its operational efficiency using the cost-to-managed assets ratio. The Company performs extensive analysis to determine whether observed fluctuations in operating expense levels indicate a trend or are the nonrecurring impact of large projects. The operating expense analysis also includes a loan- and
50




portfolio-level review of origination and servicing costs to assist the Company in assessing profitability by pool and vintage.

Because volume and portfolio size determine the magnitude of the impact of each of the above factors on the Company’s earnings, the Company also closely monitors origination and sales volume along with APR and discounts (including subvention and net of dealer participation).
Recent Developments and Other Factors Affecting The Company’s Results of Operations
Outbreak of COVID-19
The current outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus, or COVID-19, has materially impacted our business, and the continuance of this outbreak or any future outbreak of any other highly contagious diseases or other public health emergency, could materially and adversely impact our business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations.

Due the unpredictable and rapidly changing nature of this outbreak and the resulting economic distress, it is not possible to determine with certainty the ultimate impact on our results of operations or whether other currently unanticipated consequences of the outbreak are reasonably likely to materially affect our results of operations; however, certain adverse effects have already manifest themselvesoccurred or are probable. The following sets forth our expectationsdiscussion of the impact of COVID-19 on Company's current financial and operating status, as well as its future operational and financial planning as of the date hereof:

Impact on workforce: The health and well-being of our colleagues and customers isare a top priority for the Company. The Company has implemented business continuity plans and has followed guidelines issued by government
authorities regarding social distancing and work-from-home arrangements. Currently, approximately 90-95%95%-97% of our
workforce is working remotely. The Company has established a Temporary Emergency Paid Leave Program that provides employees with up to 80120 hours of additional paid time off to use – either continuously or intermittently, and before exhausting other paid time off – to assist with dependent care needs related to COVID-19. Further, the Company is providingprovided $250 a week in pay premiums for frontline customer support workers to help defray additional costs incurred while coming to workworking during the outbreak. While our business continuity plans are place, if significant portions of our or our vendors’ workforceswork forces are unable to work effectively as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak including because of illness, stay-at-home orders, facility closures reductions in services or hours of operation, or ineffective remote work arrangements, there may be disruptions to our origination and servicing disruptions,operations, which could result in reduced originations and/or collection effectiveness and/or impair our ability to operate our business and satisfy our obligations under our third-party servicing agreements. Each of these scenarios could have negativematerially adverse effects on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Impact on customers and loans and lease performance: The COVID-19 outbreak and the associated economic crisis have led to negative effects on our customers. Unlike the regional impact of natural disasters, such as hurricanes, the COVID-19 outbreak is impacting customers nationwide and is expected to have a materially more significant impact on the performance of our auto loan and auto lease portfolio than even the most severe historical natural disaster.

Similar to many other financial institutions, we have taken and will continue to take measures to mitigate our customers’ COVID-19 related economic challenges. We have experienced a sharp increase in requests for extensions and modifications related to COVID-19 nationwide and a significant number of such extensions and modifications have been granted. In addition, we have temporarily suspended—and may continue to temporarily suspend— involuntary repossessions although we may elect to re-initiate involuntary repossessions at any time. These customer support programs, by their nature, are expected to negatively impact our financial performance and other results of operations in the near term. Our business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected in the longer term if the COVID-19 outbreak leads us to continue to conduct such programs for a significant period of time, if the number of customers experiencing hardship related directly or indirectly to the outbreak of COVID-19 increases or if our customer support programs are not effective in mitigating the effects of COVID-19the pandemic and the recession on our customers' financial situations. Given the unpredictable nature of
53




this situation, the nature and extent of such effects cannot be predicted at this time.time, but such effects could be materially adverse effects to our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Further, government or regulatory authorities could also enact laws, regulations, executive orders or other guidance that allow customers to forgo making scheduled payments for some period of time, require modifications to receivables (e.g., waiving accrued interest), preclude creditors from exercising certain rights or taking certain actions with respect to collateral, including repossession or liquidation of the financed vehicles, or mandate limited operations or temporary closures of the Company or our vendors as “non-essential businesses” or otherwise. Such actions by
51




government or regulatory authorities could have materially negative effects on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Impact on originations: In many jurisdictions, businesses such as automobile dealers have been required to temporarily close or restrict their operations. Further, even for dealerships that have remained open, consumer demand has deteriorated rapidly. As a result, we have recently experienced a significant decline in our origination of auto loans and leases. In response,Since COVID-19 outbreak, the Company has partnered with FCA to launch new incentive programs, including, 90-day first payment deferred 90 days on select FCA modelsdeferrals and 0% APR for 84 months on select 2019/2020 FCA models. However, ifToday, all dealers are open and operating at full capacity; however, many are operating with a different business model (e.g., appointments only, home delivery, etc.). Third party sources are reporting a new car SAAR rate that is approximately 95% of pre-COVID expectations. While an economic downturn associated with the economic slowdown caused by the outbreak is sustained, it could resultPandemic will impact sales, most dealers have developed business models that will allow them to continue operation in further declines in new and used vehicle sales and downward pressure on used vehicle values, which could materially adversely affect our origination of auto loans and leases and the performance of our existing loans and leases.some capacity.


Impact on Debt and Liquidity: We rely upon four primary sources to fund our operations, including private financing, warehouse lines of credit, the asset-backed securitization market, and support from Santander. As international trade and business activity has slowed and supply chains have been disrupted, global credit and financial markets have recently experienced, and may continue to experience, significant disruption and volatility. During the first quarter ofnine months ended September 30, 2020, financial markets experienced significant declines and volatility, and such market conditions may continue and/or precede recessionary conditions in the U.S. economy. Under these circumstances, we may experience some or all of the risks related to market volatility and recessionary conditions described in the Risk Factors section of our Form 10-K. These include reduced demand for our products and services and reduced access to capital markets funding. These risks could have significantmaterially adverse impacts on our liquidity, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Governmental and regulatory authorities have recently implemented fiscal and monetary policies and initiatives to mitigate the effects of the outbreak on the economy and individual businesses and households, such as the reduction of the Federal Reserve’s benchmark interest rate to near zero in March 2020. Further, the Company expects thatFRB established the Federal Reserve's Term Asset Backed Securities Loan Facility ("TALF") will be available,to support the flow of credit to consumers and businesses, including the investment in certain eligible ABS bonds. While the Company currently does not intend to need to utilize TALF, given the current state of the capital markets and the recent tightening in ABS credit spreads, the Company may utilize TALF, if it becomes necessary to support investment in our eligible ABS transactions. However, thesedo so. These governmental and regulatory actions may not be successful in the long-term mitigating the adverse economic effects of COVID-19 and could affect our liquidity, access to funding and net interest income and reduce our profitability. Sustained adverse economic effects from the outbreak may also result in downgrades in our credit ratings or adversely affect the interest rate environment. If our access to funding is reduced or if our costs to obtain such funding significantly increases, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

In addition, the Company’s ability to make payments on the notes could be adversely affected if its customers were unable to make timely payments or if the Company elected to, or was required to, implement forbearance programs in connection with customers suffering a hardship (including hardships related to the outbreak of COVID-19).

In additionThe capital markets appear to have recovered in third quarter compared to the significant amountfirst half of liquidity available from warehouse lines and affiliate lines of credit, the Company has executed two new private financing transactions for approximately $1.1 billion in the final 2 weeks of March 2020. The Company also renewed an existing $1.25 billion revolving warehouse line of credit in March 2020. Subsequent to the quarter end, the Company executed an ABS transaction of approximately $1 billion in April 2020.

However,year, however, due to the rapidly evolving nature of the COVID-19 outbreak, it is not possible to predict whether unanticipated consequences of the outbreak are reasonably likely to affect materially affect our liquidity, access to funding and capital resources in the future.

Impact on impairment of goodwill, indefinite-lived and long-lived assets:assets: In accordance with accounting policy, the Company has analyzed the impact of COVID-19 on its financial statements, including the potential for impairment. The analysis did not support any impairment of these assets, including Goodwill, Leased Vehicles and other non-financial assets such as Upfront fee and other Intangibles.

Impact on communities: The Company is committed to supporting our communities impacted by the COVID-19 outbreak, and the Company's non-profit foundation has begun responding to the COVID-19 crisis with $200,000$1.3 million in donations to a select group of organizations addressing community issues.

Overall, due to the evolving nature of the outbreak, we are currently unable to estimate the adverse impact of COVID-19 on our business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations. Our initiatives may negatively impact our revenue and other

results of operations in the near term and, if not effective in mitigating the effect of COVID-19 on our customers, may adversely affect our business and results of operations materially over a longer period of time.

The Company records interest income from retail installment contracts and receivables from dealers in accordance with the terms of the loans, generally discontinuing and reversing accrued income once a loan becomes more than 60 days past due, except in the case of revolving personal loans, for which the Company continues to accrue interest until charge-off, in the month in which the loan becomes 180 days past due, and receivables from dealers, for which the Company continues to accrue interest until the loan becomes more than 90 days past due.

The Company generally does not acquire receivables from dealers at a discount. The Company amortizes discounts, subvention payments from manufacturers, and origination costs as adjustments to income from retail installment contracts using the effective yield method. The Company estimates future principal prepayments specific to pools of homogeneous loans which are based on the vintage, credit quality at origination and term of the loan. Prepayments in our portfolio are sensitive to credit quality, with higher credit quality loans generally experiencing higher voluntary prepayment rates than lower credit quality loans. The impact of defaults is not considered in the prepayment rate;rate, and the prepayment rate only considers voluntary prepayments. The resulting prepayment rate specific to each pool is based on historical experience, and is used as an input in the calculation of the constant effective yield. Our estimated weighted average prepayment rates ranged from 5.0%5.1% to 10.7% as of September 30, 2020, and 5.2% to 11.0% as of March 31, 2020, and 5.4% to 11.0% as of March 31,September 30, 2019. The Company amortizes the discount, if applicable, on revolving personal loans straight-line over the estimated period over which the receivables are expected to be outstanding.

The Company classifies most of its vehicle leases as operating leases. The Company records the net capitalized cost of each
lease as an asset, which is depreciated straight-line over the contractual term of the lease to the expected residual value. The
Company records lease payments due from customers as income until and unless a customer becomes more than 60 days
delinquent, at which time the accrual of revenue is discontinued and reversed. The Company resumes and reinstates the accrual
if a delinquent account subsequently becomes 60 days or less past due. The Company amortizes subvention payments from the
manufacturer, down payments from the customer, and initial direct costs incurred in connection with originating the lease
straight-line over the contractual term of the lease.
Historically, the Company’s primary means of acquiring retail installment contracts has been through individual acquisitions immediately after origination by a dealer. The Company also periodically purchases pools of receivables and had significant volumes of these purchases during the credit crisis. While the Company continues to pursue such opportunities when
available, during the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2020, the Company did not acquire any vehicle loan portfolios for which there have been more than insignificant deterioration in credit quality since origination. In addition, during the threenine months ended MarchSeptember 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company did not acquire any vehicle loan portfolios for which it was probable at acquisition that not all contractually required payments would be collected.

However, during the three months ended March 31,September 30, 2020 and 2019 the Company did recognize certain retail installment contracts with an unpaid principal balance of $0, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 the Company did recognize certain retail installment contracts with an unpaid principal balance of $76,878 and $0,$74,718, respectively, held by non-consolidated securitization Trusts under optional clean-up calls. Following the initial recognition of these loans at fair value, the performing loans in the portfolio will be carried at amortized cost, net of ACL. The Company elected the fair value option for all non-performing loans acquired (more than 60 days delinquent as of re-recognition date), for which it was probable that not all contractually required payments would be collected. For the Company’s existing purchased receivables portfolios - credit deteriorated, which were acquired at a discount partially attributable to credit deterioration since origination, the Company estimates the expected yield on each portfolio at acquisition and records monthly accretion income based on this expectation. The Company periodically re-evaluates performance expectations and may increase the accretion rate if a pool is
57




performing better than expected. If a pool is performing worse than expected, the Company is required to continue to record accretion income at the previously established rate and to record impairment to account for the worsening performance.

The Company classifies most of its vehicle leases as operating leases. The Company records the net capitalized cost of each lease as an asset, which is depreciated straight-line over the contractual term of the lease to the expected residual value. The Company records lease payments due from customers as income until and unless a customer becomes more than 60 days delinquent, at which time the accrual of revenue is discontinued and reversed. The Company resumes and reinstates the accrual of revenue if a delinquent account subsequently becomes 60 days or less past due. The Company amortizes subvention payments from the manufacturer, down payments from the customer, and initial direct costs incurred in connection with originating the lease straight-line over the contractual term of the lease.

(a)Under the banking agencies’ risk-based capital guidelines, assets and credit equivalent amounts of derivatives and off-balance sheet exposures are assigned to broad risk categories. The aggregate dollar amount in each risk category is multiplied by the associated risk weight of the category. The resulting weighted values are added together with the measure for market risk, resulting in the Company’s total Risk weighted assets.
(b)CET1 is calculated under Basel III regulations required since January 1, 2015. The fully phased-in capital ratios are non-GAAP financial measures.
(c)As described in our 2019 annual reportAnnual Report on Form 10-K, on January 1, 2020, we adopted ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments -CreditInstruments-Credit Losses (“CECL”), which, upon adoption, resulted in a reduction to our opening retained earnings balance, net of income tax, and increase to the allowance for credit losses of approximately $2 billion. As also described in our 2019 10-K, the U.S. banking agencies in December 2018 had approved a final rule to address the impact of CECL on regulatory capital by allowing banking organizations, including the Company, the option to phase in the day-one impact of CECL until the first quarter of 2023. In March 2020, the U.S. banking agencies issued an interim final rule that provides banking organizations with an alternative option to delay for two years an estimate of CECL’s effect on regulatory capital, relative to the incurred loss methodology’s effect on regulatory capital, followed by a three-year transition period. The Company is electing this alternative option instead of the one described in the December 2018 rule.

Delinquencies

The Company considers an account delinquent when an obligor fails to pay substantially all (defined as 90%) of the scheduled payment by the due date.

In each case, the period of delinquency is based on the number of days payments are contractually past due. Delinquencies may vary from period to period based upon the average age or seasoning of the portfolio, seasonality within the calendar year, and economic factors. Historically, the Company’s delinquencies have been highest in the period from November through January due to consumers’ holiday spending. For the quarter ended September 30, 2020, delinquency rates have been positively impacted (lower) due to the historic volume of deferrals granted to borrowers impacted by COVID-19 and benefits of government stimulus.

Deferrals and Troubled Debt Restructurings

In accordance with the Company’s policies and guidelines, the Company may offer extensions (deferrals) to consumerscustomers on its retail installment contracts, whereby the consumercustomer is allowed to move a maximum of three payments per event to the end of the loan.

TheFurther, the maximum number of lifetime months extended for all automobile retail installment contracts was eight, while some marine and recreational vehicle contracts had a maximum of twelve months extended to reflect their longer term. In March 2020, the Company revised its servicing practices related to the maximum number of extensions to increase the permitted number of monthly extensions from eight to twelve and to increase the maximum number of months per extension from two to three. Additionally, the Company generally limitslimited the granting of deferrals on new accounts until a requisite number of payments has been received.months have passed since origination.

At the time a deferral is granted, all delinquent amounts may be deferred or paid. This may result in the classification of the loan as current and therefore not considered a delinquent account. However, there are other instances when a deferral is granted but the loan is not brought completely current, such as when the account days past due is greater than the deferment period granted. Such accounts are aged based on the timely payment of future installments in the same manner as any other account.
The following is a summary Historically, the majority of deferrals (amortized cost) onare approved for borrowers who are either 31-60 or 61-90 days delinquent and these borrowers are typically reported as current after deferral.

(a) The informationInteragency Statement on Loan Modifications and Reporting for Financial Institutions Working with Customers Affected by the Coronavirus.” This guidance encourages financial institutions to work prudently with borrowers that may be unable to meet their contractual obligations because of the effects of COVID-19 and concludes that short-term modifications (e.g. six months) made on a good faith basis to borrowers who were impacted by COVID-19 and who were less than 30 days past due as of December 31, 2019 is based on UPB. Difference between amortized costthe implementation date of a relief program are not TDRs. The Company applied this guidance to deferrals executed in response to COVID-19 and UPB wasdid not material.
(b) The amountdesignate borrowers who were less than 30 days past due at the time of accrued interest excludedthe COVID-19 extension program as TDR’s, even if they would have otherwise qualified. Upon exceeding six months of COVID-19 extensions, borrowers are designated as a TDR. This guidance (or exception) prevented approximately $3.4 billion in retail installment contract balances from the disclosed amortized costbeing TDR designated as of March 31,the end of the quarter. Approximately 31% of all accounts that have received a COVID-19 deferral and are active as of September 30, 2020 is $299 million.are classified as TDR's.
The Company evaluates the results of deferral strategies based upon the amount of cash installments that are collected on accounts after they have been deferred versus the extent to which the collateral underlying the deferred accounts has depreciated over the same period of time. Based on this evaluation, the Company believes that payment deferrals granted
67




according to its policies and guidelines are an effective portfolio management technique and result in higher ultimate cash collections from the portfolio.

Changes in deferral levels do not have a direct impact on the ultimate amount of consumer finance receivables charged off. However, the timing of a charge-off may be affected if the previously deferred account ultimately results in a charge-off. To the extent that deferrals impact the ultimate timing of when an account is charged off, historical charge-off ratios, expected life of the loan and cash flow forecasts for loans classified as TDRs used in the determination of the adequacy of the Company’s ACL are also impacted.

The Company also may agree, or be required by operation of law or by a bankruptcy court, to grant a modification involving one or a combination of the following: a reduction in interest rate, a reduction in loan principal balance, a temporary reduction of monthly payment, or an extension of the maturity date. The servicer of the Company’s revolving personal loans also may grant modifications in the form of principal or interest rate reductions or payment plans. Similar to deferrals, the Company believes modifications are an effective portfolio management technique. Not all modifications are classified as TDRs as the loan may not meet the scope of the applicable guidance or the modification may have been granted for a reason other than the borrower’s financial difficulties.
A loan that has been classified as a TDR remains so until the loan is liquidated through payoff or charge-off. TDRs are generally placed on nonaccrual status when the account becomes past due more than 60 days. For loans on nonaccrual status, interest income is recognized on a cash basis and the accrual of interest is resumed and reinstated if a delinquent account subsequently becomes 60 days or less past due.

Santander provides the Company with $4 billion of unsecured promissory notes with maturities ranging from June 2022 and September 2022.
Secured Structured Financings
The Company’s secured structured financings primarily consist of public, SEC-registered securitizations. The Company also executes private securitizations under Rule 144A of the Securities Act and privately issues amortizing notes. The Company has on-balance sheet securitizations outstanding in the market with a cumulative ABS balance of approximately approximat$28 billion.ely $27 billion. 
Flow Agreements

In addition to the Company’s credit facilities and secured structured financings, the Company has a flow agreement in place with a third party for charged off assets. Loans and leases sold under these flow agreements are not on the Company’s balance sheet but provide a stable stream of servicing fee income and may also provide a gain or loss on sale. The Company continues to actively seek additional flow agreements.


Off-Balance Sheet Financing

Beginning in 2017, the Company had the option to sell a contractually determined amount of eligible prime loans to Santander, through securitization platforms. As all of the notes and residual interests in the securitizations were issued to Santander, the
66




Company recorded these transactions as true sales of the retail installment contracts securitized, and removed the sold assets from the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Beginning in 2018, this program has been replaced with a new program with SBNA, whereby the Company has agreed to provide SBNA with origination support services in connection with the processing, underwriting and purchasing of retail loans, primarily from FCA dealers, all of which are serviced by the Company.

70




The Company also continues to periodically execute securitizations under Rule 144A of the Securities Act. After retaining the required credit risk retention via a 5% vertical interest, the Company transfers all remaining notes and residual interests in these securitizations to third parties. The Company subsequently records these transactions as true sales of the retail installment contracts securitized, and removes the sold assets from the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheet.
Cash Flow Comparison
The Company has historically produced positive net cash from operating activities. The Company’s investing activities primarily consist of originations, acquisitions, and collections from retail installment contracts. SC’s financing activities primarily consist of borrowing, repayments of debt, share repurchases, and payment of dividends.

Risk Management Framework

The Company’s risk management framework is overseen by its Board, the RC, its management committees, its executive management team, an independent risk management function, an internal audit function and all of its associates. The RC, along with the Company’s full Board, is responsible for establishing the governance over the risk management process, providing oversight in managing the aggregate risk position and reporting on the comprehensive portfolio of risk categories and the potential impact these risks can have on the Company’s risk profile. The Company’s primary risks include, but are not limited to, credit risk, market risk, liquidity risk, operational risk and model risk. For more information regarding the Company’s risk management framework, please refer to the Risk Management Framework section of the Company’s 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Credit Risk

The Company applies a qualitative framework to exercise judgment about matters that are inherently uncertain and that are not considered by the quantitative framework. These adjustments are documented and reviewed through the Company’s risk management processes. Furthermore, management reviews, updates, and validates its process and loss assumptions on a periodic basis. This process involves an analysis of data integrity, review of loss and credit trends, a retrospective evaluation of actual loss information to loss forecasts, and other analyses.

ACL levels are collectively reviewed for adequacy and approved quarterly. Required actions resulting from the Company's analysis, if necessary, are governed by its Allowance for Credit Losses Committee. The ACL levels are approved by the boardBoard level committees quarterly.

Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements describes the methodology used to determine the ACL and reserve for unfunded lending commitments in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Market Risk

Interest Rate Risk

72




The Company measures and monitors interest rate risk on at least a monthly basis. The Company borrows money from a
variety of market participants to provide loans and leases to the Company’s customers. The Company’s gross interest rate
spread, which is the difference between the income earned through the interest and finance charges on the Company’s finance
receivables and lease contracts and the interest paid on the Company’s funding, will be negatively affected if the expense
incurred on the Company’s borrowings increases at a faster pace than the income generated by the Company’s assets.

The Company has policies in place designed to measure, monitor and manage the potential volatility in earnings stemming from changes in interest rates. The Company generates finance receivables which are predominantly fixed rate and borrow with a mix of fixed and variable rate funding. To the extent that the Company’s asset and liability re-pricing characteristics are not effectively matched, the Company may utilize interest rate derivatives, such as interest rate swap agreements, to mitigatemitigate against interest rate risk. As of March 31,September 30, 2020, the notional value of the Company’s interest rate swap agreements was $2.9$3.0 billion. The Company also enters into Interest Rate Cap agreements as required under certain lending agreements. In order to mitigate any interest rate risk assumed in the Cap agreement required under the lending agreement, the Company may enter into a second interest rate cap (Back-to-Back). As of March 31,September 30, 2020 the notional value of the Company’s interest rate cap agreements was $20.2$22.2 billion, under which, all notional was executed Back-to-Back.

The Company monitors its interest rate exposure by conducting interest rate sensitivity analysis. For purposes of reflecting a
possible impact to earnings, the twelve-month net interest income impact of an instantaneous 100 basis point parallel shift in
prevailing interest rates is measured. As of March 31,September 30, 2020, the twelve-month impact of a 100 basis point parallel increase
in the interest rate curve would decrease the Company’s net interest income by $69$28 million. In addition to the sensitivity
analysis on net interest income, the Company also measures Market Value of Equity (MVE) to view the interest rate risk
position. MVE measures the change in value of Balance Sheet instruments in response to an instantaneous 100 basis point
parallel increase, including and beyond the net interest income twelve-month horizon. As of March 31,September 30, 2020, the impact of
a 100 basis point parallel increase in the interest rate curve would decrease the Company’s MVE by $151$54 million.

Collateral Risk

The Company’s lease portfolio presents an inherent risk that residual values recognized upon lease termination will be lower

than those used to price the contracts at inception. Although the Company has elected not to purchase residual value insurance
at the present time, the Company’s residual risk is somewhat mitigated by the residual risk-sharing agreement with FCA. Under
the agreement, the Company is responsible for incurring the first portion of any residual value gains or losses up to the first 8%.
The Company and FCA then equally share the next 4% of any residual value gains or losses (i.e., those gains or losses that
exceed 8% but are less than 12%). Finally, FCA is responsible for residual value gains or losses over 12%, capped at a certain
limit, after which the Company incurs any remaining gains or losses. From the inception of the agreement with FCA through
the firstthird quarter of 2020, approximately 89% o of full termf full-term leases have not exceeded the first and second portions of any residual
losses under the agreement. The Company also utilizes industry data, including the ALG benchmark for residual values, and
employ employs a team of individuals experienced in forecasting residual values.

Similarly, lower used vehicle prices also reduce the amount that can be recovered when remarketing repossessed vehicles that
serve as collateral underlying loans. The Company manages this risk through loan-to-value limits on originations, monitoring
of new and used vehicle values using standard industry guides, and active, targeted management of the repossession process.

Liquidity Risk

The Company views liquidity as integral to other key elements such as capital adequacy, asset quality and profitability. The
Company’s primary liquidity risk relates to the ability to finance new originations through the Bank and ABS securitization
markets. The Company cannot predict how the COVID-19 outbreak and the legal and regulatory responses to the COVID-19 outbreak and related economic disruptions will affect businesses, including liquidity or the ability to access the capital markets. If access to funding is reduced or if the costs to obtain such funding significantly increases, there may be a material impact to business and financial condition.Thecondition. The Company has a robust liquidity policy that is intended to manage this risk. The liquidity risk policy establishes the following guidelines:

that the Company maintain at least eight external credit providers (as of March 31,September 30, 2020, it had thirteen);
that the Company relies on Santander and affiliates for no more than 30%30% of its funding (as of March 31,September 30, 2020, Santander and affiliates provided 14%27% of its funding);
that no single lender’s commitment should comprise more thanthan 33% of the overall committed external lines (as of March 31,September 30, 2020,, the highest single lender’s commitment was 24% (not18% (not including repo)); and
73




that no more thanthan 35% and 65% ofof the Company’s warehouse facilities mature in the next six months and twelve months respectively (as of March 31,September 30, 2020, two of , one of the Company’s warehouse facilities are scheduled to mature in the next six or twelve months).

The Company’s liquidity risk policy also requires that the Company’s Asset Liability Committee monitor many indicators, both
market-wide and company-specific, to determine if action may be necessary to maintain the Company’s liquidity position. The
Company’s liquidity management tools include daily, monthly and twelve-month rolling cash requirements forecasts, long term
strategic planning forecasts, monthly funding usage and availability reports, daily sources and uses reporting, structural
liquidity risk exercises, key risk indicators, and the establishment of liquidity contingency plans. The Company also performs
monthly stress tests in which it forecasts the impact of various negative scenarios (alone and in combination), including reduced credit availability, higher funding costs, lower Advance Rates, lending covenant breaches, lower dealer discount rates,
and higher credit losses.

The Company generally seeks funding from the most efficient and cost effectivecost-effective source of liquidity from the ABS markets,
third-party facilities, and Santander.Santander and SHUSA. Additionally, the Company can reduce originations to significantly lower levels, if
necessary, during times of limited liquidity.

The Company had established a qualified like-kind exchange program to defer tax liability on gains on sale of vehicle assets at
lease termination. If the Company does not meet the safe harbor requirements of IRS Revenue Procedure 2003-39, the
Company may be subject to large, unexpected tax liabilities, thereby generating immediate liquidity needs. The Company
believes that its compliance monitoring policies and procedures are adequate to enable the Company to remain in compliance
with the program requirements. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act permanently eliminated the ability to exchange personal property
after January 1, 2018, which resulted in the like-kind exchange program being discontinued in 2018.

Operational Risk

The Company is exposed to operational risk loss arising from failures in the execution of our business activities. These relate to
failures arising from inadequate or failed processes, failures in its people or systems, or from external events. The Company’s
operational risk management program includes Third Party Risk Management, Business Continuity Management, Information Risk
69




Management, Fraud Risk Management, and Operational Risk Management, with key program elements covering Loss Event, Issue Management, Risk Reporting and Monitoring, and Risk Control Self-Assessment (RCSA).
To mitigate operational risk, the Company maintains an extensive compliance, internal control, and monitoring framework, which includes the gathering of corporate control performance threshold indicators, Sarbanes-Oxley testing, monthly quality control tests, ongoing compliance monitoring with applicable regulations, internal control documentation and review of processes, and internal audits. The Company also utilizes internal and external legal counsel for expertise when needed. Upon hire and annually, all associates receive comprehensive mandatory regulatory compliance training. In addition, the Board receives annual regulatory and compliance training. The Company uses industry-leading call mining that assist the Company in analyzing potential breaches of regulatory requirements and customer service.
Model Risk

The Company mitigates model risk through a robust model validation process, which includes committee governance and a
series of tests and controls. The Company utilizes SHUSA’s Model Risk Management group for all model validation to verify
models are performing as expected and in line with their design objectives and business uses.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Accounting policies are integral to understanding the Company’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (U.S. GAAP) requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, the Company reviews its accounting policies, assumptions, estimates and judgments to ensure that its financial statements are presented fairly and in accordance with U.S. GAAP. There have been no material changes (except as disclosed below) in the Company’s critical accounting estimates from those disclosed in Item 7 of the 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The change is as a result of the Company's adoption of CECL standard, on January 1, 2020. Refer to footnoteNote 1 "Description of Business, Basis of Presentation, and Significant

PART II: OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.Legal Proceedings

Reference should be made to Note 1014 to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, which is incorporated herein by reference, for information regarding legal proceedings in which the Company is involved, which supplements the discussion of legal proceedings set forth in Note 11 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements of the 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.


Item 1A.Risk Factors

The Company is subject to a number of risks potentially impacting its business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flow including those set forth under Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors, in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. In addition to the risk factors disclosed in that Form 10-K, the Company is subject to (1) risks related to the new credit reserving framework set forth below, and (2) risks related to the COVID-19 outbreak, as noted in the our Form 8-K8-K filed with the SEC on April 10, 2020, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Our adoption of the new standard on the measurement of credit losses on financial instruments and its resulting impact on our allowance for credit losses and impairments may prove to be insufficient to absorb expected lifetime losses in our loan portfolio.

The CECL standard introduced a new credit reserving framework, which replaces the incurred loss impairment framework in current GAAP with one that reflects expected credit losses over the full expected life of financial assets and commitments, and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information, including estimation of future expected changes in macroeconomic conditions. Additionally, the standard changes the accounting framework for purchased credit deteriorated HTM debt securities and loans, and dictates measurement of AFS debt securities using an allowance instead of reducing the carrying amount as it is under the current OTTI framework.

The Company adopted this standard using the modified retrospective method for all financial assets measured at amortized cost and net investment in leases.Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2020 are presented under ASC 326 while prior period amounts continue to be reported in accordance with previous applicable GAAP.

Management's evaluation takes into consideration the risks in the loan portfolio, past loan and lease loss experience, specific loans with loss potential, geographic and industry concentrations, delinquency trends, economic forecasts and other relevant factors in accordance with US GAAP and based on regulatory requirements. While management uses the best information available to make such evaluations, future adjustments to the ACL may be necessary if conditions differ substantially from the assumptions used in making the evaluations.Future reserves may be different due to changes in macroeconomic conditions. Credit loss expenses are charged to provision expense in amounts sufficient to maintain the ACL at levels considered adequate to cover expected credit losses in the Company’s HFI loan portfolios.

The process for determining our allowance for credit losses is complex, and we may from time to time make changes to our process for determining our allowance for credit losses. In addition, regulatory agencies periodically review our allowance for credit losses, as well as our methodology for calculating our allowance for credit losses and may require an increase in the provision for loan losses or the recognition of additional loan charge-offs, based on judgments different than those of management. Changes that we make to enhance our process for determining our allowance for credit losses may lead to an increase in our allowance for credit losses. Any increase in our allowance for credit losses will result in a decrease in net income and capital, and may have a material adverse effect on us. Material changes to our methodology for determining our allowance for credit losses could result in the need to restate our financial statements or fines, penalties, potential regulatory action and damage to our reputation.

The impact of COVID-19 are not fully known at this time and while management has considered the future impact in our projections of ACL, actual losses may be higher.Management has factored the uncertainty and management’s potential responses (including the impact of defaults and extension requests) into the future projections of expected credit losses and reasonable and supportable forecast periods. There can be no assurance that the impact of COVID-19 will improve in the near term and any negative impact could in turn materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operation.
72






On a quarterly basis, macroeconomic scenarios with various different assumptions surrounding economic growth or decline in the economy are reviewed and approved by management’s Committee.The selection of scenarios and their associated weightings are critical inputs to determining management’s view of future economic conditions to support a reasonable and supportable forecast period and include significant assumptions of future economic performance, which could differ materially from actual outcomes.
