Item 8.01. Other Events
Ally Financial Inc. (Ally) is filing this Current Report on Form 8-K to update the historical consolidated financial statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015. Historical information was updated for a change in reportable segments. Exhibit 99.1 contains the revised and updated financial information.
Realignment of Operating Segments
As a result of a change in how management views and operates our business, during the first quarter of 2016, we made changes in the composition of our operating segments. Financial information related to our Corporate Finance business is now presented as a separate reportable segment. Previously, all such activity was disclosed in Corporate and Other. Additionally, only the activity of our ongoing bulk acquisitions of mortgage loans and other originations and refinancing is now presented in Mortgage Finance operations. The activity related to the management of our legacy mortgage portfolio is now disclosed in Corporate and Other. Our other operating segments, Automotive Finance operations and Insurance operations, remain unchanged.
Our segment results will be reported under this new structure beginning in the first quarter of 2016, and results from prior periods will be reported in a manner consistent with the new structure.
Under SEC regulations, the same reportable segment presentation is also required for previously issued financial statements for each of the years presented in our 2015 Form 10-K, even though the financial statements relate to periods prior to the reportable segment change. This change in reportable segment has no effect on our reported net income for any reporting period.
