The accompanying notes are part of the financial statements.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information, and instructions to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, these unaudited financial statements include all adjustments considered necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations and financial condition for interim periods for Ford Motor Credit Company LLC, its consolidated subsidiaries and consolidated VIEs in which Ford Motor Credit Company LLC is the primary beneficiary (collectively referred to herein as “Ford Credit,” “we,” “our,” or “us”). Results for interim periods should not be considered indicative of results for any other interim period or for the full year. Reference should be made to the financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 (“2018 Form 10-K Report”). We are an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Ford Motor Company (“Ford”).We reclassify certain prior period amounts in our consolidated financial statements to conform to current year presentation.
Restructuring and Other Actions
During the first nine months of 2019, we continued to execute separation and restructuring actions associated with our plans to transform the operational fitness of our business.
NOTE 2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Provision for Income Taxes
For interim tax reporting we estimate one single effective tax rate, which is applied to the year-to-date ordinary income / (loss). Tax effects of significant unusual or infrequently occurring items are excluded from the estimated annual effective tax rate calculation and recognized in the interim period in which they occur.
Adoption of New Accounting Standards
Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases. On January 1, 2019, we adopted the Accounting Standards Codification 842, Leases, and all the related amendments (“new lease standard”) to contracts using the modified retrospective method. The comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the lease accounting standard in effect for those periods. Adoption of the standard as a lessor did not significantly impact our financial statements. As a lessee, it added about $100 million of right-of-use assets and lease obligations to our consolidated balance sheet as of January 1, 2019, and did not significantly impact our income statement. We do not expect the adoption of the new lease standard to have a significant impact to our net income on an ongoing basis. We elected the practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance of the new standard that retained the lease classification and initial direct costs for any leases that existed prior to adoption of the standard. We did not reassess whether any contracts entered into prior to adoption are leases or contain leases.
We also adopted the following ASUs during 2019, none of which had a material impact to our financial statements or financial statement disclosures:

NOTE 2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Adopted
The following standard is expected to result in a significant change in practice to Ford Credit.
ASU 2016-13, Credit Losses - Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued a new accounting standard which replaces the current incurred loss impairment method with a method that reflects expected credit losses. We will adopt the new standard and the related amendments on January 1, 2020. Based on our current loan portfolio and forecasts of future macroeconomic conditions, we estimate that the allowance for credit losses reported in Total finance receivables, net on our balance sheet will increase by about $200 million at adoption. We will record the cumulative effect of initially applying the new standard as an adjustment to the opening balance of Retained earnings. The increase is primarily for our consumer loan portfolio as it will cover expected credit losses over the full remaining expected life of the loans.
Change in Accounting Method
As of January 1, 2019, we changed our accounting method for reporting early termination losses related to customer defaults on operating leases. See Note 5 for additional information.

__________
(a)
Net finance receivables subject to fair value exclude finance leases. Previously, certain consumer financing products in Europe were classified as retail installment contracts. We now classify these products as finance leases. Comparative information has been revised to reflect this change.
(b)
The fair value of finance receivables is categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
AtDecember 31, 2018 and September 30, 2019, accrued uncollected interest was $264 million and $241 million, respectively, which we report in Other assets on our balance sheet.
Included in recorded investment in finance receivables at December 31, 2018 and September 30, 2019 were consumer receivables of $40.7 billion and $37.8 billion, respectively, and non-consumer receivables of $25.7 billion and $24.0 billion, respectively, that have been sold for legal purposes in securitization transactions but continue to be reported in our consolidated financial statements. The receivables are available only for payment of the debt issued by, and other obligations of, the securitization entities that are parties to those securitization transactions; they are not available to pay the other obligations or the claims of Ford Credit’s other creditors. Ford Credit holds the right to receive the excess cash flows not needed to pay the debt issued by, and other obligations of, the securitization entities that are parties to those securitization transactions (see Note 7 for additional information).
Finance Leases
Finance leases are composed of sales-type and direct financing leases. We offer finance leases to individuals, leasing companies, government entities, daily rental companies, and fleet customers. These financings include primarily lease plans for terms of 24 to 60 months. In limited cases, a customer may extend the lease term. Early terminations of leases may also occur at the customer’s request subject to our approval. We offer financing products in which the customer may be required to pay any shortfall, or may receive as payment any excess amount between the fair market value and the contractual vehicle value at the end of the term, which are classified as finance leases. In some markets, we finance a vehicle with a series of monthly payments followed by a single balloon payment or the option for the customer to return the vehicle to Ford Credit; these arrangements containing a purchase option are classified as finance leases.

Aging
For all finance receivables, we define “past due” as any payment, including principal and interest, that is at least 31 days past the contractual due date. The recorded investment of consumer receivables greater than 90 days past due and still accruing interest was $20 million at December 31, 2018. At September 30, 2019, there were no balances greater than 90 days past due for which we are still accruing interest.

Credit Quality
Consumer Portfolio. Credit quality ratings for consumer receivables are based on our aging analysis. Consumer receivables credit quality ratings are as follows:
•
Pass – current to 60 days past due;
•
Special Mention – 61 to 120 days past due and in intensified collection status; and
•
Substandard – greater than 120 days past due and for which the uncollectible portion of the receivables has already been charged off, as measured using the fair value of collateral less costs to sell.
Non-Consumer Portfolio. Dealers are assigned to one of four groups according to risk ratings as follows:
•
Group I – strong to superior financial metrics;
•
Group II – fair to favorable financial metrics;
•
Group III – marginal to weak financial metrics; and
•
Group IV – poor financial metrics, including dealers classified as uncollectible.

NOTE 4. FINANCE RECEIVABLES (Continued)
Impaired Receivables
Impaired consumer receivables include accounts that have been rewritten or modified in reorganization proceedings pursuant to the U.S. Bankruptcy Code that are considered to be Troubled Debt Restructurings (“TDRs”), as well as all accounts greater than 120 days past due. Impaired non-consumer receivables represent accounts with dealers that have weak or poor financial metrics or dealer financing that has been modified in TDRs. The recorded investment of consumer receivables that were impaired at December 31, 2018 and September 30, 2019 was $370 million and $334 million, or 0.5% and 0.5% of consumer receivables, respectively. The recorded investment of non-consumer receivables that were impaired at December 31, 2018 and September 30, 2019 was $129 million and $91 million, or 0.3% and 0.2% of non-consumer receivables, respectively. Impaired finance receivables are evaluated both collectively and specifically.
The accrual of revenue is discontinued at the time a receivable is determined to be uncollectible. Accounts may be restored to accrual status only when a customer settles all past-due deficiency balances and future payments are reasonably assured. For receivables in non-accrual status, subsequent financing revenue is recognized only to the extent a payment is received. Payments are generally applied first to outstanding interest and then to the unpaid principal balance.
A restructuring of debt constitutes a TDR if we grant a concession to a debtor for economic or legal reasons related to the debtor’s financial difficulties that we otherwise would not consider. Consumer and non-consumer receivables that have a modified interest rate below market rate or that were modified in reorganization proceedings pursuant to the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, except non-consumer receivables that are current with minimal risk of loss, are considered to be TDRs. We do not grant concessions on the principal balance of our receivables. If a receivable is modified in a reorganization proceeding, all payment requirements of the reorganization plan need to be met before remaining balances are forgiven. Finance receivables involved in TDRs are specifically assessed for impairment.

NOTE 5. NET INVESTMENT IN OPERATING LEASES
Net investment in operating leases consists primarily of lease contracts for vehicles with individuals, daily rental companies, and fleet customers with terms of 60 months or less. Payment extensions may be requested by the customer and are generally limited to a maximum of six months over the term of the lease. Term extensions may also be requested by the customer. Term and payment extensions in total generally do not exceed twelve months. A lease can be terminated at any time by satisfying the obligations under the lease agreement. Early termination programs may be occasionally offered to eligible lessees. At the end of the lease, the customer returns the vehicle to the dealer or may have the option to buy the leased vehicle. In the case of a contract default and repossession, the customer typically remains liable for any deficiency between net auction proceeds and the defaulted contract obligations, including any repossession-related expenses.
Accumulated depreciation reduces the value of the vehicles from their initial acquisition value to their expected residual value at the end of the lease, with the associated depreciation expense recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. At the time of purchase, we establish the expected residual value for the vehicle based on recent auction values, return volumes for our leased vehicles, industry-wide used vehicle prices, marketing incentive plans, and vehicle quality data. We monitor residual values each month and review the accuracy of our accumulated depreciation on a quarterly basis.
Change in Accounting Method. As of January 1, 2019, we changed our accounting method for reporting early termination losses related to customer defaults on operating leases. Prior to the first quarter of 2019, we presented the early termination loss reserve on operating leases due to customer default events as part of the allowance for credit losses, which reduces Net investment in operating leases on the balance sheet. On the income statement, the incurred losses were included in Provision for credit losses. We now consider the effects of operating lease early terminations when determining depreciation estimates, which are included as part of accumulated depreciation within Net investment in operating leases on the balance sheet, and Depreciation on vehicles subject to operating leases on the income statement.
In conjunction with the January 1, 2019 adoption of ASU 2016-02, Leases (described in Note 2), we reviewed our leasing-related accounting policies and updated our depreciation policy for operating leases so that the useful life of the vehicles incorporates our historical experience on early terminations due to customer defaults. We believe this change in accounting method is preferable as the characterization of these changes is better reflected as depreciation. At December 31, 2018, this reclassification increased accumulated depreciation and decreased allowance for credit losses by $78 million, respectively, and had no impact on Net Investment in operating leases. On the income statement, this reclassification increased Depreciation on vehicles subject to operating leases and decreased Provision for credit losses by $29 million and $77 million, for the third quarter of 2018 and first nine months of 2018, respectively.
These changes had no impact on Income before income taxes,Net investment in operating leases, Retained earnings, or to Net cash provided by / (used in) operating activities. We have reclassified prior period amounts to reflect the above changes.

NOTE 5. NET INVESTMENT IN OPERATING LEASES (Continued)
At December 31, 2018 and September 30, 2019, Net investment in operating leases includes $16.3 billion and $12.7 billion, respectively, that have been included in securitization transactions but continue to be reported in our consolidated financial statements. These net investments in operating leases are available only for payment of the debt issued by, and other obligations of, the securitization entities that are parties to those securitization transactions; they are not available to pay our other obligations or the claims of our other creditors. We hold the right to receive the excess cash flows not needed to pay the debt issued by, and other obligations of, the securitization entities that are parties to those securitization transactions (see Note 7 for additional information).
The amounts contractually due for minimum rentals on operating leases at December 31, 2018 were as follows (in millions):
