Forward guidance

Ally expects the Fair Square Financial acquisition to enhance profitability and risk-adjusted returns. The transaction is expected to close by the end of the first quarter 2022.

Tailwinds

  • Enhance profitability and risk-adjusted returns
  • Advances Ally’s evolution as the leading digital consumer bank
  • Provides Ally with a scalable, digital-first credit card platform
  • Enhances ability to grow and deepen customer relationships
  • Provides access to the $1 trillion credit card market

Headwinds

  • Transaction expected to consume approximately 50-55 bps of CET1.
  • Lower vehicle sales and lower dealer inventory levels.
  • Fair value of equity securities decreased $65 million.
  • Noninterest expense increased $97 million year over year, primarily due to the continued growth and diversification of our businesses, including higher technology and marketing costs.
  • Pre-tax income was down $20 million year over year, driven by lower other revenue and higher noninterest expense, partially offset by higher net financing revenue.
