Along with all other participating banks, we were notified that we will be required to resubmit our capital plan later this year.
As one of the largest banks in the U.S.. We appreciate the unique circumstances are regulator space and ensuring broad based financial stability.
Allies balance sheet and capital position remain robust and under the established car framework and stress process. Our capital deployment plans were fully executable now obviously, given the uncertainties with coded we decided to suspend the share repurchase activity through the end of the year.
While all banks await further clarity from the fed we remain confident in the strength of our capital position and our proven ability to effectively manage and deploy shareholder capital and a balanced and responsible manner.
And we'll show you the capital details in a minute, but levels look very solid and we'll do our part and ensuring the fed and others I understand the strength of our key financial ratios.
Let's turn to slide number five to review core metrics.

The agenda to take you through the detailed financial results.
Thank you JV and good morning, everyone I'll begin on slide six providing an overview of monthly trends within our auto segment as JB mentioned, a moment ago, we saw steady improvement throughout the quarter a shelter in place orders ease and dealers quickly adapted to co bid environment.

Alex application trends steadily improved refused volume as a percent of origination reaching the highest level on record, reflecting supply dynamics and a shift in consumer preferences that fit our model.
Origination trends shown in the upper right reflected our prudent and disciplined underwriting approach.
Specifically, we increased manual underwriting automated decisioning and adjusted or by box across our riskiest credit segment.
As we closed the quarter, we were pleased to generate higher year over year volume in June and appropriate risk adjusted return.
Used car trends in the bottom left demonstrated strong consumer demand and improved auction activity throughout the quarter.
Year to date used car values are down 2%, including a 10% decline in April and 2% increase in June we continue to embed a decline of five plus percentage points for full year 2020, given elevated off rental and athletes supply coupled with ongoing macroeconomic uncertainties.
Industry wide vehicle inventory levels dropped 33% year over year, the lowest level in 10 years and OEM factories went off line in March and April and sales activity depleted dealer stock.
Production has largely resumed and we expect balances will slowly build over the coming months.
In the interim vehicle well planned shortages will challenge dealer sales activity.
On slide seven our direct bank product growth continues to accelerate reflecting the value of our digitally based banking model retail deposit growth. This year by a combination of market dynamics and allied specific drivers.
Industry deposit levels, the expanded due to stimulus and related consumer support reduce consumer spending and the delayed 2019 tax filing deadline.
Alex further benefited from robust new customer growth, a testament to our competitive rates.
Industry, leading service levels and award winning digital platform.

Turning to Alan bat trading levels customer growth and account balances Oh gained momentum this quarter.
During the month as margin Jan invest generated four highest month of trading activity since we acquired the business in 2016.
As we've highlighted in the past, we're intent on providing consumers with convenient digitally based products and exceptional customer service.
This consistent approach is driven steady performance and improving trends over the past several years that we expect to continue.
The strength and benefits of an digitally driven model are apparent across all our businesses.
Turning to slide eight include metrics, demonstrating the strength of our balance sheet during the quarter, we approached or exceeded our highest levels across each metric reflecting actions taken recently over the past several years to solidify our company's balance sheet.
These results allow us to remain nimble and focused on supporting our customers.
Stable competition deposit portfolio has increased nearly 80% of total funding up from approximately 50% in early 2016. We've also continued to diversify our liabilities with wholesale funding well balances have normalized lower we've continued to demonstrate improved execution level with.
To cost efficient unsecured issuance is this quarter.
In the upper right, our liquidity position increased significantly to 43.6 billion, reflecting our ability to withstand adverse changes in the broader environment and remain opportunistic in support of our customers.
Thank you T. One levels shown on the bottom left exceeded 10% well above regulatory minimum.
At this level, we have 2.9 billion of access capital above our sep requirement of 8%.
Allowance for loan losses of 2.85% or 3.5 billion represents over three times our reserve balances in early 2016, even as the relative size risk profile of our balance sheet has remained stable.
Together, our reserves plus access the easy one represents 6.3 billion in total loss absorption capacity.
Well, many unknowns remain around the full extent and ongoing developments running covanta. These metrics reiterate our ability to navigate the challenges ahead.
Let's move to slide nine to review the income statement net financing revenue, excluding I'd of 1.063 billion declined 92 million linked quarter, and a 101 million year over year.
Well the departure from our ongoing trend in steady improvement the long term outlook for Eni and NIM expansion remain intact.
A decline in the quarter can be attributed to several items you need to the current environment, including reduced for planned balances lower lease gain elevated mortgage premium amortization expense and excess liquidity that weighs on near term margin.
These impacts were partially offset by accretive retail auto and deposit optimization trends, which will continue and accelerate as we move forward.
Other revenue of 465 million remained elevated due to strong realized investment gains and robust mortgage income.
Provision expense of 287 million was materially lower versus prior quarter, but remained elevated compared to prior year as coverage group.
Noninterest expense increased by 65 million linked quarter, and 104 million versus prior year.
As we outlined in our 10-Q filing in April we recognized a onetime impairment on the land bus business adjusted out of core metrics reflect the industry dynamics, including Zero Commission trends.
Despite this action core business trends are gaining steam and we're pleased with the progress. The Elenbaas team has made and the potential for this business long term.
Excluding the impairment quarter over quarter increases reflects seasonally higher weather losses.
Year over year, Weve remained committed to prudently investing in our businesses for the long term, including technology and brand revenue related insurance expenses in the inclusion of Allied lending.
In this environment, we've renewed our focus on identifying and reducing spend across non essential areas.
Key metrics at the bottom or adjusted for the goodwill impairment charge and other normalizing items.
Well I can include the detailed results of our balance sheet.
Q2, net interest margin, excluding idea of 2.42% declined quarter over quarter in year over year, driven by the dynamics I mentioned, a moment ago 20 basis points of NIM pressure due to excess liquidity 10 basis points of from lease impacts and eight basis points from premium amortization as mortgage rates declined to a 30 year low.
Yes, good partly mitigated by 10 to 15 basis points of NIM expansion from auto into positive dynamics, which will drive NIM higher in the back half of 2020 and beyond.
Average, earning assets grew 176.5 billion as cash an equivalent growth more than offset declines in floor plan balances.
Outside of these line items, all other asset categories remain relatively stable or grew quarter over quarter and year over year retail auto portfolio yield excluding hedge impact expanded 11 basis points quarter over quarter in 17 basis points year over year lead balances remained flat versus prior quarter, an increase year over year plus.
Yields declined due to lower off lease gain.
Average commercial auto balances fell 4.4 billion quarter over quarter, and 8.7 billion year over year due to declining OEM production and dealer inventory as mentioned earlier.
Turning to liability cost of funds and for 26 basis points fourth consecutive quarter over quarter decline a trend we expect to continue over the next several quarters.
Turning to slide 11, total deposits grew to 131 billion up 13% year over year increase.
Retail deposit growth of 9.7 billion exceeded our next highest quarterly growth by 55% or 3.4 billion.
We expect our growth trajectory will continue moving forward, but will reflect dynamics associated with the delayed tax filing deadline and potential stimulus activity.
In the bottom left retail deposit rates declined 24 basis points linked quarter, and 58 basis points year over year, we've remained disciplined and focused in our pricing decisions balancing competitive dynamics and preservation of customer loyalty that we've earned over time.
Generated our 10th consecutive quarter of an industry, leading 96% customer retention rate.
And as JB covered earlier customer growth of 94000 pushes over 2.1 million customers nearly doubling for late 2016 level.
We're also pleased to be recognized by Kiplinger is as the best Internet Bank for the fourth consecutive year.
Let's turn to capital on Slide 12, easy one ended at 10.1% in Q2, well above recent trends due to earnings growth lower R.W. away and the suspension of share repurchases.
As a reminder, we elected to defer capital related impacts associated with you. So until the beginning of 2022 her guidance provided by the Federal reserve.
This week, our board of directors approved for Q3 common dividend of 19 cents per share payable on August 14th.
In the bottom left we've summarized the CCAR 2020 feedback from the Federal reserve regarding RCT, one offering a requirement of 8% as compared to our internal target of 9%.
Well in a normal operating environment. This result would position us to execute our planned capital actions, we remain in a holding pattern for further details on the resubmission process.
Q2, ending reserve equaled, 70% of our internal nine quarter stress losses, and 41% of the 2020 that estimate.
With the variance driven by retail and commercial auto modeling assumption.
For personality contacts during the great financial crisis allies retail auto portfolio losses, roughly doubled for one could you quarters.
Appeared to bed modeled losses that more than double for the entire nine quarter horizon.
Similarly, well allies commercial auto lots of peak at 35 basis points of annual once you know a level reflective of the secured highly liquid portfolio. The feds average ideas for Cnine, two thirds of which is commercial <unk>, 2.8% across the nine quarter horizon.
These variances accounted for between two and $3 billion higher fed modeled stress losses.
Despite these differences are planned capital distributions remain well within the prescribed SVB framework, we recognize the fluid nature of the environment and feel good about our strong capital levels and our ability to remain nimble and our deployment.
Asset quality details are on slide 13, consolidated net charge off a 58 basis points increase three basis points compared to prior year.
Net charge offs of 170 million declined 4 million year over year, driven by lower retail auto, which was largely offset by corporate finance activity.
Moving to retail auto details on the bottom a few broad comments on what we're seeing embedded within our results this quarter.
Overall actual credit performance has been stronger than we anticipated at the onset of cobot well much remains unknown around the ongoing economic environment comprehensive stimulus support programs and proactive customer engagement actions to date have driven encouraging trends.
Robust payment activity occurred across our non deferred customers materially lowering frequency year over year.
There was a modest increase in severity and used vehicle values decline repossession volume decrease year to date and cars more trends in play through June.
And related to the deferred population accounting guidance led to a 50 million increase and then yes, we expect actual losses to be below this level and we work through our standard process to keep our customers in their cars.
Collectively this resulted in retail auto engineers of 76 basis points, a decline of 20 basis points year over year.
Delinquencies perform favorably versus our expectations overall, even considering the grown program impact.
Based on these trends, we still believe our full year and who knows we will remain within our previously stated 1.8% to 2.1% range.
Slide 14 provides additional detail on reserve levels and coverage reserves of 3.35 billion and coverage of 2.85% increase as the consolidated level, reflecting higher retail auto coverage levels.
And the impact of declining floor plan, which carries a lower coverage given the strong credit for file of the portfolio.
The reserve walk on the bottom reflects the Q2 in fact of the deteriorating macro economic forecasts, including unemployment speaking about 14% before declined 10% by year end 2020, nm migrating towards seasonal model, 6% Historic mean.
We've continued to exclude any stimulus related benefits or assumptions within our modeling.
Loss absorption capacity of this magnitude prepares us to navigate the elevated NCR activity, we are expecting in coming quarters.
On Slide 15, we've included an update on our auto deferral program.
Email actively 1.3 million auto customers enrolled with 87% Incurrent payments data.
Customer payment trends increased every month during the quarter with 24% of our customers paying in June prior to their scheduled due date supporting our view that many program for added payment flexibility.
On the right hand side of the page. We've included a monthly view of deferment exploration timing, 30% of the total population had scheduled expirations during the quarter, including the majority of customers who entered the program in 30, plus delinquencies doubt it.
Payment trends for this population have been inline with expectations.
The balance of the deferral expirations will occur over the next few months keep in mind. The vast majority of these customers entered the deferment in a non delinquent payments got it.
We remain proactive and preparing for this phase of the program managing staffing levels launching new digital payments tool and maintaining steady engagement with participants. We are pleased overall with l. comes to date.
On slide 16, I'll highlight a few additional metrics in the auto segment.
Net financing revenue trends reflect lower commercial balances library levels, and <unk> lower lease gain noninterest expense declined seasonally quarter over quarter was essentially flat year over year.
The resilient and adaptive on nature of our auto business was fully reflected this quarter were estimated retail new origination yields remained above 7% for the ninth consecutive quarter.
We seamlessly transition to consumer preference for years.
And we were opportunistic as presented in the past among established and emerging industry players.
Let's turn to slide 17, Q2 auto originations of 7.2 billion declined quarter over quarter in year over year, reflecting industry dynamics.
Average FICO and Nonprime volumes remained steady.
It is comprised 60% of originations the highest level, we've seen as a company.
In the bottom left ending consumer assets were up slightly quarter over quarter in year over year to 81.5 billion, while commercial assets on the bottom line decline as described as few moments ago.
Insurance results on slide 18 core pre tax income of 39 million in Q2 was down 38 million linked quarter due to seasonally higher weather losses, and up 43 million year over year, it's realized gains offset weather losses that normalized higher selling historically low levels in 2019.
Written premiums of 267 million declined year over year in quarter over quarter, reflecting lower floor plan levels and declining vehicle sales.
Underlying trends steadily improved throughout the quarter. Its June written premium levels were higher versus prior year.
Turning to slide 19, corporate finance core pretax income was 31 million in the quarter up 95 million quarter over quarter in down 16 million year over year any assets declined 366 million during the quarter, reflecting repayment of approximately 60% an elevated Q1 credit line drawn is related to them.
Pandemic.
And additional pay downs from some borrowers who received government stimulus.
We charged off two credits during the quarter that were impacted by 'cause it needs exposures were largely reserved for and how to provision impact of 6 million in Q2.
Our origination strategy remains focused on its steady approach to growing balances and returns while managing risk largely through asset fan base deals.
We continue to monitor criticized and non accrual loan trend along with ongoing developments among our client base.
On slide 20 mortgage pretax income of 8 million in Q2 declined versus prior quarter in year over year due to the impact of elevated prepayment activity within the golf portfolio.
Direct to consumer origination volume was robust as we continued leveraging existing relationships with 60% of origination sourced from existing ally customers.
The low rate environment from strong refinance activity for us representing 70% of originations in Florida.
We're encouraged by these trends and expect volumes remain strong as we move forward.
I'll close by reiterating how proud I am of our ally teammates who remain the driving force behind our results.
It will continue positioning the company for the future focusing on doing it right for our customers and communities and delivering long term value for our shareholders with that I'll turn it back to JB.
Thank you John.
On slide number 21, let me reiterate our strategic priorities at ally, we diligently and purposely built our company upon pillars of strength to prepare us for turbulent times and being able to navigate the full economic cycle.
I am grateful for how our associates continued to do it right and remain resilient in the face of adversity.
Allied success in Brazil, the great work they do every day.
Our values will continue to guide our work protocols as we prioritize safety and wellbeing. During this pandemic will also stay dedicated to building a company where no. One is excluded for who they are for the color of their skin.
For our customers, we often use words relentless and obsess to describe the approach we take in meeting their financial needs and we are energized to see how this has turned into accelerating results within our businesses.
Okay, great pride in being a comprehensive in digitally focused consumer and commercial finance provider and we will continue innovating and adapting.
We have a strong well positioned balance sheet with a deeply rooted foundation across funding capital and liquidity that will ensure we remain a source of strength for customers over the long term.
While this environment caused us to mutually terminated the card works acquisition I want to reiterate my utmost respect for Don Berman and his team and the strong businesses like Bill.
I'd also like to thank the employees of both companies to showed great dedication and professionalism over the past several months working on this deal.
So what allied we'll stay focused on protecting and caring for the valuable businesses. We already have in finding unique opportunities to further scale and grow those businesses in a disciplined and thoughtful manner.
I'm amazed at how this company has evolved and accelerated its progression and I'm confident that is going to continue.
We'll also leverage our digital model in unique brand in financial services and the way we serve our customers and as you know trends are clearly on our side.
There's no doubt there was a great deal of uncertainty that lies ahead in the months ahead, but allies results. This quarter demonstrate were equipped to successfully navigate and win in challenging environments and with that Daniel I think we can go into QNX.
Thank you JV, so I'll remind participants the please as we head into the keynote session. Please limit yourself to one question and one follow up operator, you may now tee up the unit.
As a reminder to ask a question you would need to press Star then one on your telephone to withdraw your question press the pound key.
First question comes from fun, Jay Sakhrani of KBW. Your line is open.
Good morning. Thank you I guess first question on the reserve builds I was wondering Jan if you could just walk through some of the assumptions you've made around the outlook.
Yeah, sure and good morning Sanjay.
Yeah, and I mentioned in his script here on the macroeconomic assumptions, we essentially had unemployment, which is our big is not going to sniper economic driver hit about 14% here in Q2.
Then glide down to about 10% yearend and then refer to our meaning under sees a lot about 6% for at the end of 2021.
And that that did drive a bit more of a reserve.
Driver coverage up a bit this quarter. We also have not embedded any assumptions around kind of stimulus for that differ population. Just you know some of their belief that we've provided to our forbearance program. So we have an embedded any about either no and at this point, we feel really good about the reserve coverage level.
Mostly on retail auto were 4.09% coverage radar and C. O level you reviewed we reiterated the 1.8% to 2.1% range. So we feel like where Ah integrate spot in terms of the reserve coverage at this point.
Okay, Great and then my follow up question JV is for you on the cardboard steel given its behind you now I was just curious.
Is that all experience has changed any views in terms of the diversification diversification effort you were considering thanks.
Yeah. Thanks for the question Sanjay I mean, obviously, we've been saying for quite some time, we still like the unsecured space.
And I think that remains true, but obviously you have to.
Reflect on the environment mature in and the fact that there's going to be challenges out there for the next while so for US I think the focus in the short term.
I call over the next 12 to 24 months is really keeping our head down.
Caring for the franchises in house, I mean, I think as Jan.
Demonstrated in her comments to me all the newer businesses are really starting to accelerate we feel very good about that I mean allied lending that a number of bright spots Allied home bright spots, our investor Sane and then auto and deposits are just phenomenally well positioned right now and I think.
Our focus in what we've done on the use space is just working really really well I mean emerging players like Echopark Carvana just great partners, there and then the traditional dealer base.
We just got great relationships with dealers across the country and so we're comfortable in a in the positions for now and I think just in this environment you got to care for what you have more than anything.
In long term will go through and continue to assess like I think all of our shareholders would expect us to do what makes sense for for Allied for the long run, but again as I said got a ton of respect for Don Berman. He's a great operator, and I think Don in some ways looks forward to the most challenging environments, because I believe that.
When he thinks this company is going to really shine and so a ton of respective credit for him and we'll we'll keep our head down and keep ally advancing forward.
Thank you.
Thanks Sanjay.
Our next question comes from Betsy Graseck of Morgan Stanley. Your line is open.
Hi, good morning.
Morning Bad thing.
I wanted to take in a little bit on the outlook for net charge off the you indicated for the full year.
Gen, especially given that you know you've got some deferments coming out.
Over the next few months and you know when I look at the Slide 15, you highlight that you know the early payment trends for customers exiting deferment is aligned with expectations, maybe you could help us understand what those expectations are and how we should anticipate deferment roll off impacting delinquencies and and the net charge offs.
Because you've got to you're implying a pretty big uptick in second half and see I was just wanted to get some color around.
Yeah sure. Thanks to the question Betsy all good question and then you know the theme here is going to be a lot still to be determined at this point.
Let me let me just hit on Deferment population and then the non deferment population, but within deferment, we've seen about 30% of our account scheduled to expire at this point and you know we had some expectations in terms of payment activity will see own relative to the linked.
See buckets and as I mentioned, a you know I'd say performance today, it's largely in line.
You also have to keep in mind, there stimulus in the system.
We don't know what's going to occur you know just from an overall.
Pandemic rollout or additional stimulus and so we're going to continue to watch that population very very closely but as I mentioned kind of everything is inline with expectations.
Our next quarter, we have an additional 70% of that deferment population scheduled to expire. So yeah. This is our are much higher credit quality population. So we believe that they're going to perform well.
But thats a large percent of accounts and we just have to see how that performed over the next couple of months.
And because those two populations or you know largely to date performing in line with expectations, we're still expecting kind of that 1.8% to 2.1%.
Retail auto NCL rate that we put out in the first quarter. So everything right now is still consistent.
You know inline with expectations, but I will say there there is a lot more to come we are very much in the early indeed innings of.
Seeing how the deferral population works and will continue to monitor it extremely closely and then and the non deferral population and you kind of it you see this in the overall NCL rate for retail auto coming down 20 basis point 30, plus de keeps coming down about 70 basis points. We continue to see just really robust perform.
In that population, but again, a lot to unfold relative to the overall impact in the pandemic, the macroeconomic environment stimulus et cetera, but so far so good.
And just a follow up question has to do with the outlook for a used car prices I think you indicated impaired remarks, keeping the down 5% for the full year I think we just hit this morning, Mannheim, saying that used car prices up 11% year on year in the first couple of weeks of July I wanted to understand if if that makes sense to you given your.
Mix I know your mix is little bit more skewed to possibly in truck.
Yeah, I mean, a couple of dynamics at play there I mean, we came into this year guiding towards kind of the 5% to 7% decline in used vehicle prices and Charlie just driven by supply dynamics with a lot of off vehicle more.
Pete to vehicles coming into the market.
As we came through Q2 with a pandemic we saw a precipitous drop in used vehicle crisis. It was about 10% drop.
Cable, which you know very quickly recovered your plus 2% as we ended Q2 here.
And that we're still seeing strong signs as we as we come here into July, but you know with all the volatility around used vehicle prices, knowing how quickly and materially they can move around on on outs were still guiding towards kind of a five plus percent decline and used vehicle prices and then you now we'll see where it goes from here I think.
The positive dynamic is.
New vehicle inventory is still pretty low in this environment with stress on the consumer the value will be used vehicle outweighs that of a new from a pricing perspective. So those are all positive dynamics.
On the negative here, you know house with the consumer could further deteriorating over around demand could decline and we still do help the supply side challenges. So we're just being measured knowing that this is a line item that can move around very quickly on huh.
Okay. Thank you.
Yeah. Thank you Betsy.
Our next question comes from Moshe Orenbuch of Credit Suisse. Your line is open.
Great. Thanks, Jan I appreciate the comments that you made about no debt payments could you talk just a little bit about how you just think about the way the consumer has behaved thus far.
You know that that's good.
The ones in deferments, the ones out of department and the potential for intervention and how you think that if you had taken that into account how would that impact.
You know expected loss reserving those those elements.
I'm not sure sure Moshe so consumer behavior, let me start there.
You know what I would say is a lot of a lot of our consumer that's need we're expecting use this program as kind of an insurance policy against what what's to come with Covance.
And we went out with a program that was.
Open to everyone, who made it very easy to enroll and we've seen over the last couple of months and increase in payment rate, even while the payments want do so that started in kind of thing retail autozone approaching 20%. We ended June almost a quarter of our customers were making payments.
In play in fact that they're deferrals one once a expiring so we're very encouraged by that.
You know I'd say underneath the covers just in the more stressed population that was scheduled to expire this quarter. We've been pleased the vast majority of them are paying a entering current status, but some are in delinquencies and we're just not being you know not doing those jobs you at.
Some points role or potentially going to empty out which is why we've been very consistent in terms of our our NCR expectations. On this population no relatively stimulus I know, we absolutely think that that's a net positive here I mean, if you look at savings rate.
Across the consumer they continue to grow.
We're seeing strong payment rates not only in retail auto, but also in mortgage as well as ally lending and certainly we think stimulus is a net loss.
From a loss perspective and from a payment perspective, but also we're clearly seeing not in the deposit trends across the across allies as well as the rest of the industry, yeah, but yeah I I feel good right now just in terms of.
Trends are inline with expectations, we've kept consistency around the M. C O projections this year and certainly we're very well covered a relative to those expectations measure.
Great. Thanks again for a follow up you you show in the slides deposit costs were 1.64%.
The second quarter, you mentioned that that's going to be a driver going.
You know into Q3 could you talk about what that would be kind of get a mark to today's rate and you know and what your plans are for deposit rates given the strong.
Growth in liquidity that you've got.
Yeah, sure and yeah.
I'm sure you you've seen on Wednesday, which is going to be a very big driver of Eni and NII and NIM expansion I talked about the back half 20, and going into 21, Oh, I say rates are down 12% on that's really going to help us we moved down kind of July 8th.
Earlier, this month, and that's really going to help propel our and I and our NIM and if you think about that I wouldn't say rate kind of the beta on that.
Data on the retail auto new origination pricing is it is two times and and that's really what's gonna funnel that continued growth in net interest income.
We continue to be very strong in terms of retail originated deals.
Over 7% for nine consecutive quarters now that could move around a little bit as we go into the second half, but there's a clearly opportunity for our overall.
Retail auto book to migrate up towards that 7%, we've been originating for so much so many quarters.
Thank you.
Thank you Melissa.
Our next question comes from Rob Walt Act on those.
Research Your line is open.
Morning, guys just to follow up on the originated yields over 7% I think that would've been better than you had expected what were the drivers there.
Yes, so a couple of dynamics one as we continue to see just record levels of views, which tend to carry a higher yields so just favorability on mix overall.
And then we continue to have a strong flows coming from some of the emerging players in the market and you.
You know JV mentioned, a couple of the names there engines, we continued to be very pleased.
With that to some of the flows that we're seeing there that drove the yield on now where heading into the third quarter here a second half of 2020, we are seeing or new.
Originated yields coming in kind of high 6% range and we'll we'll always in the outperform that but it's been a dependent on where the market land.
Got it and then can you just remind us what happens when a borrower comes off forbearance, how do they get back to current is it just the larger monthly payment.
Is there a lump sum do any color you can add there would be great.
Yeah sure. So as C accounts are scheduled to expire.
We expect our customers you can sneak one payment and that brings them to current immediately.
And so you can't just very very simple process, where you just need to start paying your phone again, there's no lump sum payment or anything like that.
Okay. Thank you.
Sure. Thanks.
Our next question comes from Rick Shane of JP Morgan Your line is open.
Hey, guys. Thanks for taking my questions. This morning.
First question is given over the last several years, we've seen such strong used car prices.
That means that as leases expire or.
The market value of the cars is actually above the purchase option price as we're seeing a decline in used car values are you guys expecting a higher percentage oh or lower percentage of leases that are expiring to exercise the purchase option.
Yeah.
You know Rick I appreciate the question I <unk>, we're not seeing any big change there.
Not really I mean, I know I'd say overall with respect to two off lease vehicles.
You know demand for used has continued to remain strong and I think that's really what matters here I'm not seeing any think something.
The off lease percent that are saying entity.
Got it okay. Thank you and then.
Interesting that in you just said it again and you talk about the strong demand for used cars I am curious what you guys think about the supply is huge cars on particularly given that there has been essentially you know partial moratorium on repossessions do you think that that died.
Yes.
It will change as we move through the second half the year.
Yeah, you know what I'd say on NIM moratorium on Repossessions. That's actually helps you continue to bolster used vehicle prices and and and we we had some programs around off lease.
Customer activity that allowed us to preserve pricing in the U.S phase as well, so I'd say that overall than a net loss I.
I think what you're going to see over the next couple of months barring any.
Systemic you know reversals on reopenings or any potential threats here in the back half a year I think you're gonna see those moratoriums really running off and on a sense certainly starting to run off the we're getting much more kind of closer to business as usual on repossession, Yeah, and I'll just go back to what I've said before which is.
2021 to be one of the peak years in terms of off lease vehicles. So we'd expect.
To your question on supply, we still expect to see some very robust used vehicle supply in the market.
Which is you know really helped to offset what we've seen on the new vehicle.
Production stress that we've had since its really helps to you're going to bolster inventory across the system.
John Thank you very much.
Sure.
Thanks.
Our next question comes from Eric Wasserstrom, Yes. Your line is open.
Great. Thanks, very much JV in Gen. Two questions one a small one and then maybe a larger wanted to follow.
The little one just relates to the.
To the C and I and feel experienced this quarter, which was a bit higher than the than the trend can you just touch on what occurred there.
Yeah sure. So we had two credits that outlined in that we charged off this quarter or are they were credits that have started to deteriorate back half of 2019, I said, we had already largely.
For those credits and and what we saw with current kind of accelerated their movement into Mcl No I would say just more broadly on that bugs that the percent of non accruals on continues to remain pretty solid and stable at around 2% and in spite of that we've continued to grow coverage. So overall credit quality.
No performing well overall book looks good and those were to kind of began that emerged be pre kelvin.
Got it.
And then I guess my my larger question is this I mean, there were so many things that were unusual in this quarter and those things were were manifested as you might expect.
In your in your balance sheet in an income statement.
So is there anyway that you can just help us frame sort of what to think about in terms of quarterly cadence of performance for maybe the next few just directionally in terms of some of the other key key.
Yes, yes, two line items, you've talked obviously a bit too.
To the to the NIM into the to the card and fill rates, but there's just so many other things liquidity position et cetera can you just hope kind of frame what the range of outcomes might might look like.
Yeah, and maybe let me start first on the balance sheet and then a couple of comments on the income statements I mean on the balance sheet. Yeah. Appreciate you recognizing unusual item advancing or can we would concur wholeheartedly with that summary, but yeah, what we saw a across the new vehicle space.
It's just the OEM production has not slowed precipitously.
Inventories are down about 33% and so kind of the most unusual thing that we've seen on the balance sheet.
Relative to expectations coming into this year is just the floor plan levels have declined about $10 million linked quarter.
Coupled with the fact that we've had just incredible deposit inflows.
You see just didn't grow whereas in cash on the balance sheet now over the course of them last half of 2020, we would expect inventory levels new vehicle production to increase seat, we'd expect slowly just in commercial balances grow and so you know will be very prudent and deploying.
Not cash that we have sitting on the balance sheet, but we'd expect cash over time to come down and.
Yeah, I mentioned most of the other line items on the balance sheet performing well you know we could see retail auto balances come down a hair just because of originations are gonna be a little lighter this year.
But overall seeing strong mortgage production allied lending.
You know as we shift to the income statement.
No I'd say just in summary, PPNR looks to be pretty stable first half the second half talked about kind of eni being in a trough, we'd expect that to expand a back half of this year.
Other revenue came in kind of record levels. This quarter. We you can see that normalize a bit lower just based on you know it'll be dependent on our opportunity to take investment gains.
And then the real wildcard here in you know, it's going to be what happens with the macros and what happens with credit. We think we've got a great handle on it so far but there's still a lot of uncertainty in the environment that could potentially.
You know move provision for credit losses around event, you know and I I think the company with our balance sheet, where it is we we feel like we're in a great condition. In this environment. We've got strong liquidity, we've got our highest level of capital that we've had in the history of the company's so irrespective of the.
As usual that continues we think we're incredibly well positioned and went in with focus on the right things were focused on supporting our customers. In this environment leave you can do that because of the striking the balance sheet we're focused on.
Central is on making sure that were.
Investing in the right.
Opportunities to position us for the future and we feel really good about our ability to navigate.
Thanks, so much.
<unk>.
Our next question comes from parents I gather bits of Citi. Your line is open.
Thanks, the deposit growth was very strong and you mentioned that.
Tax payments kind of shifting from Twoq to threeq or were there any other kind of temporary aspects to it.
Of that higher PPP loans that kind of stuff that you would think too there maybe a bit of a pull back and in the deposits and the third quarter.
Yeah. So a couple of things I'll say, a you know the overall industry is growing about 10% and I think a lot of that has to do whereas you know whether that's P.P.P. stimulus checks that kind of our in consumers' hands right now and just the overall kind of defensive posture. Thank you.
See around consumers and this kind of environment. So I'd say you know just across the industry seems robust deposit growth then as you shift to the digital bank. We continue to win from a share perspective digital growth digital direct bankruptcy was about double bad over 20%.
This quarter. So there we continue to have trends in our favor in that regard and then you know I think aliansce position itself, which is with our digital or digital capabilities. Our brand our freight rate paid that we continue to win even within that digital.
No I think you mentioned tax payments, we did have that roll through kind of July 15th we're still seeing really robust deposit growth here in July in spite of taxes.
And whats nothing not to continue over the back half of that here, but I mean, there's there's no doubt.
Thanks are going to continue to win in this environment.
Okay.
And then secondly, the trends in retail auto.
Obviously showed tremendous improvement.
In June.
And I know, it's still kind of early but we're seeing kobin resurgence across a lot of the of the country are you seeing anything in July that's kind of slowing that a positive trend that you're having there.
Yeah, I mean to be completely measured on as I see no June may have had a bit of pent up demand. We've you know we saw originations down 50% in April and pop back up.
You know over 10% easier in she is no I'd say July is still moving forward very strong originations yeah, I think the dealers and this asset class has proven to be incredibly resilient in this.
And obviously put all the caveats around that as we didn't we don't know exactly what's going on sold some cove in in the macro instead I think we feel great about just the resiliency, even if we do think.
Instead of a double dip here that this industry can recover it very quickly.
Thank you.
Our next question comes from John Hecht of Jefferies. Your line is open.
Thanks, guys for taking my question and good morning.
Most of my questions have been asked and answered I guess I'm over the intermediate term I'm curious as to your digital channels like for minor or growing.
There's been.
Shifting to consumers, even getting pre approved for for loans via digital channels. How how do you guys think that affects the market and how are you guys position too.
Got you deal with that in the intermediate term.
Yeah I appreciate the question and you have short answer here as we we feel we're really well positioned and have continued to benefit from being kind of agnostic as to whether on a dealer and digital whether they're you know more traditional and I think in this environment, we've seen an acceleration of.
The traditional dealers, becoming more digital and finding a lot of opportunities do you know whether to offer contact was fails or concierge service. I mean, we are seeing the entire industry shift very quickly to digital.
That being said with if you really digital.
Offerings out there we've continued to grow our relationships there and we feel great about just being able to support all of our dealers.
Wherever they are on the journey to digital and and like I said this environment has really accelerated that movement overall, and we think that's a net loss from a consumer perspective.
No I think maybe I'd add is just as Jim pointed out I think when we talked a little smaller you know one store dealers in the big change like Rick Hendrix, Hendrick Automotive group you know there their biggest challenge right now they just need more cars I mean, those they'll tell you that the bigger challenge and obviously with the factories being impacted.
Yeah, there's just not a new car Hello, I mean in doing so that's part of the reason why Gen covered you used cars felt really good right now we still have a sort of a more balanced outlook going forward because we do think new car production should return, but it's got me is really interesting when you talk to the dealer base. They really say that's that's.
The bigger challenges they face more than anything it's just so simple walk forward.
Great. Thanks, very much appreciate the content.
Got it thanks John.
