Management Quotes

Credit performance remains stable as we enter the seasonally weaker part of the year.  We remain focused on generating assets with strong risk-adjusted returns, managing operating expenses as we grow and optimizing our capital base by returning capital to our shareholders."

Net finance and other interest income1 increased 5 percent to $1.20 billion in Q3 2019 from $1.14 billion in Q3 2018, driven by increased loan and lease balances.

SC's serviced for others portfolio increased 9 percent to $10.0 billion as of Q3 2019 versus Q3 2018. Servicing fee income decreased 19 percent to $21 million in Q3 2019, from $26 million in Q3 2018, driven by the change in the composition of those balances. Fees, commissions and other increased 14 percent to $96 million in Q3 2019, from $85 million in Q3 2018, driven by origination fees from the SBNA program.

The Personal Lending portfolio recorded net investment losses of $87 million in Q3 2019, flat compared Q3 2018, primarily driven by lower of cost or market adjustments which included $102 million in customer default activity, partially offset by a $15 million decrease in market discount, consistent with typical seasonal patterns.

During Q3 2019 operating expenses were $329 million, up 21 percent from $272 million in Q3 2018, driven by one-time legal expenses during the quarter. SC's expense ratio increased to 2.3 percent during the quarter, compared to 2.1 percent during the same period last year.

(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 as of January 1, 2015. The fully phased-in capital ratios are non-GAAP financial measures.
