JDCC’s net income for the quarter was higher than the same period in 2025, driven by favorable financing spreads and discrete tax items, partially offset by the impact of a lower average portfolio and favorable derivative valuation adjustments in the third quarter of 2025. Net income for the first nine months of 2026 was higher than the prior year period due to favorable financing spreads, a lower provision for credit losses, and favorable derivative valuation adjustments, partially offset by the impact of a lower average portfolio.
