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 superior service to dealers and customers across the full credit spectrum. The Company’s primary business is the indirect origination and servicing of retail installment contracts and leases, principally, through manufacturer-franchised dealers in connection with their sale of new and used vehicles to retail consumers. Additionally, the Company sells consumer retail installment contracts through flow agreements and, when market conditions are favorable, it accesses the ABS market through securitizations of consumer retail installment contracts.
SAF is our primary vehicle brand, and is available as a finance option for automotive dealers across the United States. Since May 2013, under the Chrysler Agreement with FCA, the Company has operated as FCA’s preferred provider for consumer loans, leases and dealer loans and provides services to FCA customers and dealers under the CCAP brand. These products and services include consumer retail installment contracts and leases, as well as dealer loans for inventory, construction, real estate, working capital and revolving lines of credit.
On June 28, 2019, the Company entered into an Amendment to the Chrysler Agreement with FCA, which modified the Chrysler Agreement to, among other things, adjust certain performance metrics, exclusivity commitments and payment provisions. The Amendment also terminated the previously disclosed tolling agreement, dated July 11, 2018, between the Company and FCA.
The Company also originates vehicle loans through a web-based direct lending program, purchases vehicle retail installment contracts from other lenders, and services automobile and recreational and marine vehicle portfolios for other lenders. Additionally, the Company has other relationships through which it provides other consumer finance products.
As of September 30, 2019, the Company was owned approximately 71.6% by SHUSA, a subsidiary of Santander, and approximately 28.4% by other shareholders.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, including certain Trusts, which are considered VIEs. The Company also consolidates other VIEs for which it was deemed to be the primary beneficiary. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, these financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair statement of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods indicated. Results of operations for the periods presented herein are not necessarily indicative of results of operations for the entire year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities, as of the date of the financial statements and the amount of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates and those differences may be material. These estimates include the determination of credit loss allowance, discount accretion, impairment, fair value, expected end-of-term lease residual values, values of repossessed assets, and income taxes. These estimates, although based on actual historical trends and modeling, may potentially show significant variances over time.
Business Segment Information
The Company has one reportable segment, Consumer Finance, which includes the Company’s vehicle financial products and services, including retail installment contracts, vehicle leases, and Dealer Loans, as well as financial products and services related to recreational vehicles and marine vehicles. It also includes the Company’s personal loan and point-of-sale financing operations.
Accounting Policies
There have been no material changes in the Company’s accounting policies from those disclosed in Part II, Item 8 - Financial Statements and Supplementary Data in the 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
Since January 1, 2019, the Company adopted the following FASB ASUs:
|
|
•
|
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases. The primary effect of the ASU is to replace the existing accounting requirements for operating leases for lessees. Lessee accounting requirements for finance leases and lessor accounting requirements for operating leases and sales type and direct financing leases (sales-type and direct financing leases were both previously referred to as capital leases) are largely unchanged. The Company adopted this standard using the modified retrospective method and utilized the optional transition method under which we continue to apply the legacy guidance in ASC 840, Leases, including its disclosure requirements, in the comparative period presented.
|
For all our operating leases (primarily our office space/facility leases), where the Company is a lessee, adoption of the new standard resulted in recognizing on our balance sheet, a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset of $67,300, a reduction of accounts payable and accrued expenses of $24,100 relating to straight-line rent accruals and unamortized tenant improvement allowances, and a lease liability of $91,400. The right-of-use-asset and lease liability will be derecognized in a manner that effectively yields a straight-line lease expense over the lease term. In addition, the Company will no longer capitalize certain initial direct costs in connection with lease originations where it is the lessor.
Further, we elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which among other things, allowed us to carry forward the historical lease classification. We elected not to (a) use the hindsight practical expedient to determine the lease term for existing leases; and (b) recognize a lease liability and associated ROU asset for short term leases if such lease meet the definition under ASC 842. We chose not to elect the practical expedient to not separate non-lease components from lease components. The standard did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated statement of income or condensed consolidated statement of cash flows.
|
|
•
|
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract. This ASU aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. The Company adopted this standard effective January 1, 2019 and it did not have a material impact on the Company’s business, financial position or results of operations.
|
|
|
•
|
In October 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-16, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), Inclusion of the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) Overnight Index Swap (OIS) Rate as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes. This ASU permits use of the OIS rate based on SOFR as an eligible benchmark interest rate for purposes of applying hedge accounting under Topic 815. The adoption of this standard did not have any impact on the Company’s business, financial position or results of operations.
|
The adoption of the following ASUs did not have a material impact on the Company’s business, financial position or results of operations.
|
|
•
|
ASU 2017-08, Receivables - Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities
|
|
|
•
|
ASU 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260); Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480); Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): (Part I) Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features, (Part II) Replacement of the Indefinite Deferral for Mandatorily Redeemable Financial Instruments of Certain Nonpublic Entities and Certain Mandatorily Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests with a Scope Exception
|

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This guidance significantly changes how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income. The amendment introduces a new credit reserving framework known as Current Expected Credit Loss (“CECL”), which replaces the incurred loss impairment framework in current GAAP with one that reflects expected credit losses over the full remaining 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. For AFS debt securities, entities will be required to record allowances rather than reduce the carrying amount, as they do today under the OTTI framework. The standard also simplifies the accounting framework for purchased credit-impaired debt securities and loans. The Company will adopt the new guidance on January 1, 2020.
|
The Company established a cross-functional working group for implementation of this standard. Our implementation process includes (i) data sourcing and validation, (ii) development and validation of loss forecasting methodologies and models, including determining the length of the reasonable and supportable forecast period and selecting macroeconomic forecasting methodologies to comply with the new guidance, (iii) updating the design of our established governance, financial reporting, and internal control framework, (iv) updating accounting policies and procedures, and (v) determining future expanded disclosures on aspects such as credit quality. The status of our implementation is periodically presented to the Audit Committee and the Risk Committee. The Company continues to test and refine its current expected credit loss models to satisfy the requirements of the new standard. Oversight and testing, as well as efforts to meet expanded disclosure requirements, will extend through the remainder of 2019.
The Company currently expects an increase in the allowance for credit losses for finance receivables in the range of 55% to 70% and a decrease (net of tax) in our regulatory capital amounts and ratios. The Company expects to leverage relief provided by federal banking regulatory agencies for an initial capital decrease by phasing in the adoption over four years on a straight-line basis in its calculation of regulatory capital amounts and ratios. The Company does not expect a material impact on its other financial instruments.
The increase in allowance for credit losses will be reflected as a decrease to opening retained earnings, net of income taxes, at January 1, 2020. The estimated increase will take into account forecasts of expected future economic conditions and is primarily driven by the fact that the allowance will cover expected credit losses over the full expected life of the loan portfolios. This estimate is subject to further refinement based on continuing reviews and approvals of models, methodologies and judgments. The impact at January 1, 2020 will depend upon the nature and characteristics of our financial instruments at the adoption date, the macroeconomic conditions and forecasts at that date, and other management judgments.

|
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework- Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, which modifies the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements. The ASU removes the requirement to disclose: the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy; the policy for timing of transfers between levels; and the valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements. The ASU requires disclosure of changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in other comprehensive income (loss) for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements held at the end of the reporting period and the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. This new guidance will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that the new guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
|
In addition to those described in detail above, the Company is also in the process of evaluating the ASU 2018-17, Consolidation (Topic 10): Targeted Improvements to Related Party Guidance for Variable Interest Entities, but
does not expect it to have a material impact on the Company’s business, financial position, results of operations or disclosures.

Retail installment contracts
Retail installment contracts are collateralized by vehicle titles, and the Company has the right to repossess the vehicle in the event the consumer defaults on the payment terms of the contract. Most of the Company’s retail installment contracts held for investment are pledged against warehouse lines or securitization bonds (Note 5). Most of the borrowers on the Company’s retail installment contracts held for investment are retail consumers; however, $663,342 and $537,922 of the unpaid principal balance represented fleet contracts with commercial borrowers as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company originated (including the SBNA originations program) $9,514,939 and $6,452,924, respectively, in CCAP loans which represented 56% and 48%, respectively, of the total retail installment contract originations (including the SBNA originations program). As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company’s carrying value of auto retail installment contract portfolio consisted of $9,942,534 and $8,977,284, respectively, of CCAP loans which represents 38% and 36%, respectively, of the Company’s carrying value of auto retail installment contract portfolio.
As of September 30, 2019, borrowers on the Company’s retail installment contracts held for investment are located in Texas (17%), Florida (11%), California (9%), Georgia (6%) and other states each individually representing less than 5% of the Company’s total portfolio.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, 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 September 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company recognized certain retail installment contracts with an unpaid principal balance of zero, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company recognized certain retail installment contracts with an unpaid principal balance of $74,718 and $115,959, respectively, held by non-consolidated securitization Trusts, under optional clean-up calls (Note 6). Following the initial recognition of these loans at fair value, the performing loans in the portfolio are carried at amortized cost, net of allowance for credit losses. The Company elected the fair value option for all non-performing loans acquired (more than 60 days delinquent as of the re-recognition date), for which it was probable that not all contractually required payments would be collected (Note 13).
Receivable from Dealers
The receivables from dealers held for investment are all Chrysler Agreement-related. As of September 30, 2019, borrowers on these dealer receivables are located in Virginia (70%) and New York (30%).
Held For Sale
The carrying value of the Company’s finance receivables held for sale, net is comprised of the following at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018:

Credit Loss Allowance and Credit Quality
|
Credit Loss Allowance
The Company estimates the allowance for credit losses on individually acquired retail installment contracts (including loans acquired from third party lenders that are considered to have no credit deterioration at acquisition) and personal loans held for investment, not classified as TDRs, based on delinquency status, historical loss experience, estimated values of underlying collateral, when applicable, and various economic factors. In developing the allowance, the Company utilizes a loss emergence period assumption, a loss given default assumption applied to recorded investment, and a probability of default assumption. The loss emergence period assumption represents the average length of time between when a loss event is first estimated to have occurred and when the account is charged-off. The recorded investment represents unpaid principal balance adjusted for unaccreted net discounts, subvention from manufacturers, and origination costs. Under this approach, the resulting allowance represents the expected net losses of recorded investment inherent in the portfolio. The Company uses a transition based Markov model for estimating the allowance for credit losses on individually acquired retail installment contracts. This model utilizes the recently observed loan transition rates from various loan statuses, including delinquency and accounting statuses from performing to charge off, to forecast future losses.
For loans classified as TDRs, impairment is generally measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate. For loans that are considered collateral-dependent, such as certain bankruptcy modifications, impairment is measured based on the fair value of the collateral, less its estimated cost to sell. The amount of the allowance is equal to the difference between the loan’s impaired value and the recorded investment.
The Company maintains a general credit loss allowance for receivables from dealers based on risk ratings and individually evaluates loans for specific impairment as necessary. As of September 30, 2019 and 2018, the credit loss allowance for receivables from dealers is comprised entirely of general allowance as none of these receivables have been determined to be individually impaired.
The activity in the credit loss allowance for individually acquired retail installment contracts and Dealer Loans for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 was as follows:

There was no impairment activity noted for purchased receivable-credit impaired portfolio for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018.
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.
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.
The accrual of interest on revolving personal loans continues until the loan is charged off. The unpaid principal balance on revolving personal loans 90 days past due and still accruing totaled $126,283 and $129,227 as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

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 described in Part II, Item 8 - Financial Statements and Supplementary Data (Note 4) in the 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K. All the receivables from dealers, as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 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. Management considers TDRs to include all individually acquired retail installment contracts that have been modified at least once, deferred for a period of 90 days or more, or deferred at least twice. Additionally, restructurings through bankruptcy proceedings are deemed to be TDRs. The purchased receivables portfolio-credit impaired, 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 September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 primarily consisted of loans that had been deferred or modified to receive a temporary reduction in monthly payment. As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, there were no 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 on the recorded investment, if not expected to be collected.

(a) This line is held exclusively for financing of Chrysler Capital leases.
(b) The repurchase facilities are collateralized by securitization notes payable retained by the Company. As the borrower, we are exposed to liquidity risk due to changes in the market value of the retained securities pledged. In some instances, we place or receive cash collateral with counterparties under collateral arrangements associated with our repurchase agreements. The maturity date for the repurchase facility trade that expires in October 2019 was extended to January 2020.
|
|
(c)
|
In 2017, the Company entered into an interest rate swap to hedge the interest rate risk on this fixed rate debt. This derivative was designated as fair value hedge at inception. This derivative was later terminated and the unamortized fair value hedge adjustment as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 was $2.6 million and $3.2 million, respectively, the amortization of which will reduce interest expense over the remaining life of the fixed rate debt.

Most of the Company’s secured structured financings are in the form of public, SEC-registered securitizations. The Company also executes private securitizations under Rule 144A of the Securities Act and periodically issues private term amortizing notes, which are structured similarly to securitizations but are acquired by banks and conduits. The Company’s securitizations and private issuances are collateralized by vehicle retail installment contracts and loans or leases. As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had private issuances of notes backed by vehicle leases totaling $8,979,429 and $7,847,071, respectively.
Unamortized debt issuance costs are amortized as interest expense over the terms of the related notes payable using the effective interest method and are classified as a discount to the related recorded debt balance. Amortized debt issuance costs were $11,591 and $11,015 for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $29,361 and $27,515 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. For securitizations, the term takes into consideration the expected execution of the contractual call option, if applicable. Amortization of premium or accretion of discount on notes payable is also included in interest expense using the effective interest method over the estimated remaining life of the notes. Total interest expense on secured structured financings for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 was $217,544 and $198,184, respectively. Total interest expense on secured structured financings for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 was $671,770 and $521,775, respectively.

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 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
On-balance sheet variable interest entities
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, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company was servicing $28,196,046 and $27,193,924, respectively, of gross retail installment contracts that have been transferred to consolidated Trusts. The remainder of the Company’s retail installment contracts remain unpledged.
A summary of the cash flows received from consolidated securitization trusts during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, is as follows:

See Note 13 for 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, 2019 and December 31, 2018:

(a) Collateral pledged includes cash, cash equivalents, and other financial instruments. These balances are reported in Other assets in the consolidated balance sheet. In certain instances, the Company is over-collateralized since the actual amount of collateral pledged exceeds the associated financial liability. As a result, the actual amount of collateral pledged that is reported in Other assets may be greater than the amount shown in the table above.
(b) Includes derivative instruments originally transacted with Santander and affiliates and subsequently amended to reflect clearing with central clearing counterparties.
The gross gains (losses) reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to net income, are included as components of interest expense. The impacts on the condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 were as follows:

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 assets and other liabilities within our condensed consolidated balance sheets. 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. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available in determining the present value of lease payments. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives.
Most of our real estate leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term from one to 15 years or more. The exercise of lease renewal options is at our sole discretion. The depreciable life of assets and leasehold improvements are limited by the expected lease term, unless there is a transfer of title or purchase option reasonably certain of exercise.
Supplemental information relating to these operating leases is as follows:

Available-for-sale debt securities
Debt securities expected to be held for an indefinite period of time are classified as available-for-sale (“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.
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.
The following tables present the amortized cost, gross unrealized gains and losses and approximate fair values of debt securities AFS as of September 30, 2019:

The Company did not record any other-than-temporary impairment related to its AFS securities for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.
The Company recorded income tax expense of $82,156 (26.1% effective tax rate) and $64,874 (21.9% effective tax rate) during the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The Company recorded income tax expense of $283,684 (25.1% effective tax rate) and $237,047 (22.6% effective tax rate) during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, 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 $4,732 and $734 at September 30,
2019 and December 31, 2018, 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 December 31, 2018 and September 30, 2019, the Company has no 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.

Following is a description of the agreements and legal matters pursuant to which the liabilities in the preceding table were recorded.
Chrysler Agreement
Under terms 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 $22,560 and $7,001 at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, related to these obligations. The Chrysler Agreement also requires that Santander 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 $4,068 and $6,353 at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, related to this obligation.
Agreement with CBP
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 $1,866 and $3,708 at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, 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 $2,138 and $2,138 at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, for other miscellaneous contingencies.
Legal and regulatory proceedings
Periodically, the Company is party to, or otherwise involved in, various lawsuits and other legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. In view of the inherent difficulty of predicting the outcome of any such lawsuit, regulatory matter and 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. 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 condition and results of operation.
In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, the Company establishes an accrued liability for litigation, 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, 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. 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, 2019, the Company has accrued aggregate legal and regulatory liabilities of $126,000. Further, the Company believes that the estimate of the aggregate range of reasonably possible losses, in excess of reserves established, for legal and regulatory proceedings is up to $32,000 as of September 30, 2019. 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 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.

Feldman Lawsuit: 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 (the Feldman Lawsuit). The Feldman Lawsuit names as defendants, certain of its 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.

Jason Kulas, et al., C.A. # 12775 (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 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.
|
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, 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. The Company has been informed that these states serve as an executive committee on behalf of a group of 33 state Attorneys General (and the District of Columbia). The subpoenas and/or CIDs from the executive committee states contain broad requests for information and the production of documents related to the Company’s underwriting, securitization, servicing and collection of nonprime vehicle loans. The Company has responded to these requests within the deadlines specified in the CIDs and has otherwise cooperated with the Attorneys General with respect to this matter.
|
|
|
•
|
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.
|
These matters are ongoing and could in the future result in the imposition of damages, fines or other penalties.

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.

SCRA Consent Order: In February 2015, the Company entered into a consent order with the DOJ, approved by the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas, that resolves the DOJ’s claims against the Company that certain of its repossession and collection activities during the period of time between January 2008 and February 2013 violated the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (SCRA). The consent order requires the Company to pay a civil fine in the amount of $55, as well as at least $9,360 to affected servicemembers consisting of $10 per servicemember plus compensation for any lost equity (with interest) for each repossession by the Company, and $5 per servicemember for each instance where the Company sought to collect repossession-related fees on accounts where a repossession was conducted by a prior account holder.

In connection with the sale of retail installment contracts through securitizations and other sales, the Company has made standard representations and warranties customary to the consumer finance industry. Violations of these representations and warranties may require the Company to repurchase loans previously sold to on- or off-balance sheet Trusts or other third parties. As of September 30, 2019, there were no loans that were the subject of a demand to repurchase or replace for breach of representations and warranties for the Company’s asset-backed securities or other sales. In the opinion of management, the potential exposure of other recourse obligations related to the Company’s
retail installment contract sales agreements is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
Santander has provided guarantees on the covenants, agreements, and obligations of the Company under the governing documents of its warehouse lines and privately issued amortizing notes. These guarantees are limited to the obligations of the Company as servicer.
In November 2015, the Company executed a forward flow asset sale agreement with a third party under terms of which the Company committed to sell $350,000 in charged off loan receivables in bankruptcy status on a quarterly basis . However, any sale more than $275,000 is subject to a market price check. The remaining aggregate commitment as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, not subject to market price check was $39,787 and $63,975, respectively.

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 of the following securities that would be anti-dilutive:
(a) Employee stock options of zero, 114,124, 24,507, and 178,062 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively; and
(b) RSUs of zero for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018.
The following table represents EPS numbers for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018:

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 for the asset or liability and are used to measure fair value to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available.
Financial Instruments Disclosed, But Not Carried, At Fair Value
The following tables present the carrying value and estimated fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities disclosed, but not carried, at fair value at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, and the level within the fair value hierarchy:

(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 are determined as follows:
|
|
•
|
Retail installment contracts held for investment and purchased receivables — The estimated fair value is calculated based on a DCF in which the Company uses significant unobservable inputs on key assumptions, including historical default rates and adjustments to reflect prepayment rates, expected recovery rates, discount rates reflective of the cost of funding, and credit loss expectations.
|
|
|
•
|
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)
|
Notes payable — credit facilities — 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)
|
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, including historical default rates, prepayment rates, discount rates reflective of the cost of funding, and credit loss expectations, which are considered level 3 inputs.
|
|
|
(e)
|
Notes payable — related party — 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.

(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 7).
|
|
|
(b)
|
The Company's available-for-sale 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 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. When estimating the fair value using this model, the Company uses significant unobservable inputs on key assumptions, which includes historical default rates and adjustments to reflect prepayment rates based on available data from a comparable market securitization of similar assets, discount rates reflective of the cost of funding of debt issuance and recent historical equity yields, and recovery rates based on the average severity utilizing reported severity rates and loss severity utilizing available market data from a comparable securitized pool. Accordingly, retail installment contracts held for investment are classified as Level 3. Changes in the fair value are recorded in investment gains (losses), net in the condensed consolidated statement of income.

The following table presents the changes in retail installment contracts held for investment balances classified as Level 3 balances for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018:

(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, including historical default rates and adjustments to reflect prepayment rates (principal and interest), discount rates reflective of the cost of funding, and credit loss expectations. 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.

14. Employee Benefit Plans
The Company has granted stock options to certain executives, other employees, and independent directors under the Company’s 2011 Management Equity Plan (the MEP), which enabled the Company to make stock option awards up to a total of approximately 29 million common shares (net of shares canceled and forfeited). The MEP expired in January 2015 and the Company will not grant any further awards under the MEP. The Company has granted stock options, restricted stock awards and restricted stock units (RSUs) under the Omnibus Incentive Plan (the Plan), which was established in 2013 and enables the Company to grant awards of cash and of non-qualified and incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, RSUs, and other awards that may be settled in or based upon the value of the Company’s common stock up to a total of 5,192,641 common shares. The Plan was amended and restated as of June 16, 2016.
Stock options granted under the MEP and the Plan have an exercise price based on the estimated fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the grant date. The stock options expire ten years after grant date and include both time vesting options and performance vesting options. The fair value of the stock options is amortized into expense over the vesting period as time and performance vesting conditions are met.
Compensation expense related to the 583,890 shares of restricted stock that the Company has issued to certain executives is recognized over a five-year vesting period, with zero recorded for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018. The Company recognized $7,973 and $6,892 related to stock options and restricted stock units within compensation expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. In addition, the Company recognizes forfeitures of awards as they occur.

In connection with compensation restrictions imposed on certain executive officers and other employees by the European Central Bank under the Capital Requirements Directive IV prudential rules, which require a portion of such officers’ and employees’ variable compensation to be paid in the form of equity, the Company periodically grants RSUs. Under the Plan, a portion of these RSUs vest immediately upon grant, and a portion vest annually over the following three or five years and subject to the achievement of certain performance conditions as applicable. After the shares subject to the RSUs vest and are settled, they are subject to transfer and sale restrictions for one year. In addition, the Company grants RSUs to certain officers and employees as part of variable compensation and these RSUs typically vest over three years. The Company also has granted certain directors RSUs that vest either upon the earlier of the first anniversary of grant date or the first annual stockholder meeting following the grant date. RSUs are valued based upon the fair market value on the date of the grant.
A summary of the Company’s RSUs and performance stock units and related activity as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 is as follows:
