Call and Intra-quarter Takeaways

Strategic Pivot & Earnings Trajectory

• Ally is executing a strategic pivot focused on Dealer Financial Services,

Corporate Finance, and deposits, targeting long-term improvements in

earnings and profitability.

• Management expressed confidence in achieving sustainable mid-teens

returns, driven by operational momentum across all core franchises.

Net Interest Margin (NIM)

• NIM guidance implies meaningful expansion throughout the remainder

of 2026, including in Q2, regardless of potential rate cuts, though it won’t

be a straight line. Management remains comfortable on both the

trajectory and the destination, helped by strong deposit pricing year-to-

date, including a deposit pricing move in early June that have put the

company in a “good spot in terms of cumulative beta expectations.” They

emphasized that even if we get a rate increase that may change the

trajectory for the NIM, but not the destination.

Dealer Financial Services & Auto

• Record application flow and origination volume, up 16% year-to-date,

driven by iterative improvements to the dealer rewards program and

Ally's full-spectrum lender positioning.
