JDCC’s net income for the quarter was lower than the same period in 2023 primarily due to a higher provision for credit losses and less-favorable financing spreads, partially offset by income earned on higher average portfolio balances and favorable discrete tax items. Year-to-date net income was flat compared to 2023 primarily due to a higher provision for credit losses and less-favorable financing spreads, offset by income earned on higher average portfolio balances, lower dealer financing incentives, and favorable discrete tax items.
