2©2025 Bread Financial Key highlights Second quarter 2025 Demonstrated financial resilience and focused capital allocation • Enhanced financial resilience through ongoing operational excellence and responsible growth, proactive credit risk management and prudent capital allocation. • Net income of $139 million and earnings per diluted share of $2.94. ◦ Adjusted net income(1) of $149 million and adjusted earnings per diluted share(1) of $3.15 excludes the $10 million post-tax impact from repurchased debt. • Tangible book value per common share(1) of $52.21 increased 7% year-over-year. • Return on average tangible common equity(1) was 22.7%. • Direct-to-consumer deposits of $8.1 billion increased 12% year-over-year, and now represent 45% of our average total funding. • Completed $150 million tender offer for our 9.75% senior notes due 2029. • In April, we completed the $150 million board-authorized share repurchase program with 3.2 million shares repurchased year-to-date. • Renewed long-term partnership with Caesars Entertainment and launched a new, fee-based credit card. Proactive risk management given macroeconomic uncertainty • While consumer financial health was relatively steady in the quarter, we will remain disciplined with our credit risk management given ongoing macroeconomic uncertainty. • Closely monitoring the effect of the new administration's policies and the impacts they have on consumers and our business.

GAAP-basis $ 481 $ 139 $ 2.93 Impacts from repurchased debt 13 10 0.21 Adjusted GAAP-basis(2) $ 468 $ 149 $ 3.14 Year-over-year comparisons • Credit sales of $6.8 billion increased 4%, driven by new partner growth and increased general-purpose spending. • Average loans of $17.7 billion decreased 1%. As compared with historic trends, continued macroeconomic challenges drove softer consumer spending and the cumulative effect of elevated gross credit losses over the past twelve months adversely impacted loan growth. • Revenue decreased $10 million, or 1%, primarily due to lower finance charges and late fees resulting from a reduced average prime rate, lower delinquencies, and our gradual shift in risk and product mix leading to a smaller proportion of private label accounts, partially offset by lower interest expense and the implementation of pricing changes and paper statement fees. • Total non-interest expenses increased $12 million, or 3%, primarily driven by debt extinguishment costs of $13 million in the quarter, from the tender offer for our 9.75% senior notes due 2029. Excluding these costs, adjusted total non-interest expenses, a non-GAAP financial measure, were nearly flat. • Income from continuing operations increased $6 million, or 4%, primarily due to a lower provision for credit losses and lower income taxes. • The delinquency rate of 5.7% decreased from 6.0% in the second quarter of 2024. • The net loss rate of 7.9% decreased from 8.6% in the second quarter of 2024.

8©2025 Bread Financial 2025 financial outlook Full year 2024 actuals Full year 2025 outlook Commentary Average loans 2024: $18,084 million Flat to slightly down Based on our current economic outlook, elevated gross credit losses, and visibility into our pipeline and existing partners, we expect 2025 average credit card and other loans to be flat to slightly down versus full year 2024. Revenue (excl. gain on sale)(1) 2024: $3,827 million Flat We expect revenue, excluding any gain on portfolio sale, to be relatively flat as a result of implemented pricing changes, offset by interest rate reductions by the Federal Reserve, lower billed late fees from improving delinquency trends, and a continued shift in risk and product mix. Adjusted total non-interest expenses(1) 2024: $1,943 million Positive operating leverage We expect to deliver nominal full year positive operating leverage, excluding any gain on portfolio sale and the pre-tax impacts from our repurchased debt, including convertible and senior notes. We continue to strategically invest in technology modernization, marketing, and product innovation to drive growth and efficiencies. Net loss rate 2024: 8.2% 7.8% to 7.9% 2025 net loss rate is expected to improve from 2024 given a resilient consumer, our credit management actions, and continued risk and product mix shifts.

We are unable to provide a quantitative reconciliation of the forward-looking 2025 financial outlook for these Non-GAAP Financial Measures to their most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP measures as we cannot reliably predict all of the necessary components of such forward-looking GAAP measures without unreasonable effort. In the calculation of full year 2024 actuals, Revenue (excl. gain on sale) excludes from Total revenue an $11 million gain on portfolio sale and Adjusted total non-interest expenses excludes from Total non-interest expenses a $117 million pre-tax impact from our repurchased debt.

Notes: Starting with 3Q22 through 2Q23, the Net loss rate was impacted by the transition of our credit card processing services in June 2022.
19©2025 Bread Financial Additional footnotes and definitions of terms Notes (1) Beginning in 2024, we revised the calculation of average balances to more closely align with industry practice by incorporating an average daily balance. Prior to 2024, average balances represent the average balance at the beginning and end of each month, averaged over the periods indicated. (2) As a result of Hurricanes Helene and Milton, we froze delinquency progression in the fourth quarter of 2024 for customers in Federal Emergency Management Agency identified impact zones for one billing cycle. We estimate the net loss rate benefited by more than 20 basis points in the fourth quarter of 2024 and was negatively impacted by approximately 30 basis points in the second quarter of 2025. Credit quality and allowance (1) Reserve rate: Reserve rate represents the percentage of the Allowance for credit losses to end-of-period Credit card and other loans. (2) TCE + credit reserve rate: Tangible common equity (TCE) + credit reserve rate represents the sum of TCE and Allowance for credit losses divided by end-of-period Credit card and other loans. TCE is a Non-GAAP financial measure. Total non-interest expenses (1) Efficiency ratio: Efficiency ratio represents Total non-interest expenses divided by Total net interest and non-interest income. Summary financial highlights (1) Return on average assets: Return on average assets represents annualized Income from continuing operations divided by average Total assets. (2) Return on average equity: Return on average equity represents annualized Income from continuing operations divided by average Total stockholders’ equity. (3) Return on average tangible common equity: Return on average tangible common equity (ROTCE) represents annualized Income from continuing operations divided by average Tangible common equity. Tangible common equity (TCE) represents Total stockholders' equity reduced by Goodwill and intangible assets, net. ROTCE is a Non-GAAP financial measure. (4) Net interest margin: Net interest margin represents annualized Net interest income divided by average Total interest-earning assets. (5) Loan yield: Loan yield represents annualized Interest and fees on loans divided by Average credit card and other loans. (6) Efficiency ratio: Efficiency ratio represents Total non-interest expenses divided by Total net interest and non-interest income. (7) Common equity tier 1 capital ratio: Common equity tier 1 capital ratio represents tier 1 capital divided by total risk-weighted assets. In the calculation of tier 1 capital, we follow the Basel III Standardized Approach and therefore Total stockholders' equity has been reduced, primarily by Goodwill and intangible assets, net. (8) Tangible book value per common share: Tangible book value per common share represents TCE divided by shares outstanding and is a Non-GAAP financial measure. (9) Payment rate: Payment rate represents consumer payments during the period, divided by the aggregate of the opening monthly Credit card and other loans balances during the period, including held for sale in applicable periods.

20©2025 Bread Financial Additional footnotes and definitions of terms Net interest margin (1) Net interest margin: Net interest margin represents annualized Net interest income divided by average Total interest-earning assets. Capital (1) Common equity tier 1 capital ratio: Common equity tier 1 capital ratio represents tier 1 capital divided by total risk-weighted assets. In the calculation of tier 1 capital, we follow the Basel III Standardized Approach and therefore Total stockholders' equity has been reduced, primarily by Goodwill and intangible assets, net. (2) Total risk-based capital ratio: Total risk-based capital ratio represents total capital divided by total risk-weighted assets. In the calculation of total capital, we follow the Basel III Standardized Approach and therefore tier 1 capital has been increased by tier 2 capital, which for us is comprised of subordinated notes, as well as the allowable portion of the Allowance for credit losses. (3) Total risk-weighted assets: Total risk-weighted assets are generally measured by allocating assets, and specified off-balance sheet exposures, to various risk categories as defined by the Basel III Standardized Approach. (4) Tangible common equity/tangible assets ratio: Tangible common equity over tangible assets (TCE/TA) represents TCE divided by Tangible assets (TA), which is Total assets reduced by Goodwill and intangible assets, net. TCE/TA is a Non-GAAP financial measure. (5) Tangible common equity (TCE) + credit reserve rate: Tangible common equity + credit reserve rate represents the sum of TCE and Allowance for credit losses divided by End-of-period credit card and other loans. TCE is a non-GAAP financial measure. Credit quality trends (1) Peak Net loss rate occurred in 2010. Low Net loss rate occurred in 2014. (2) The 2Q22 Net loss rate includes a 30 basis point increase from the effects of the purchase of previously written-off accounts that were sold to a third-party debt collection agency.
21©2025 Bread Financial Forward-looking statements This release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements give our expectations or forecasts of future events and can generally be identified by the use of words such as “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “project,” “plan,” “likely,” “may,” “should” or other words or phrases of similar import. Similarly, statements that describe our business strategy, outlook, objectives, plans, intentions or goals also are forward-looking statements. Examples of forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements we make regarding, and the guidance we give with respect to, our anticipated operating or financial results, future financial performance and outlook, future dividend declarations, and future economic conditions. We believe that our expectations are based on reasonable assumptions. Forward-looking statements, however, are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict and, in many cases, beyond our control. Accordingly, our actual results could differ materially from the projections, anticipated results or other expectations expressed in this release, and no assurances can be given that our expectations will prove to have been correct. Factors that could cause the outcomes to differ materially include, but are not limited to, the following: macroeconomic conditions, including market conditions, inflation, interest rates, labor market conditions, recessionary pressures or concerns over a prolonged economic slowdown, and the related impact on consumer spending behavior, payments, debt levels, savings rates and other behaviors; global political and public health events and conditions, including significant shifts in trade policy, such as changes to, or the imposition of, tariffs and/or trade barriers and any economic impacts, volatility, uncertainty and geopolitical instability resulting therefrom, as well as ongoing wars and military conflicts and natural disasters; future credit performance, including the level of future delinquency and write-off rates; the loss of, or reduction in demand from, significant brand partners or customers in the highly competitive markets in which we compete; the concentration of our business in U.S. consumer credit; inaccuracies in the models and estimates on which we rely, including the amount of our Allowance for credit losses and our credit risk management models; the inability to realize the intended benefits of acquisitions, dispositions and other strategic initiatives; our level of indebtedness and ability to access financial or capital markets; pending and future federal and state legislation, regulation, supervisory guidance, and regulatory and legal actions, including, but not limited to, those related to financial regulatory reform and consumer financial services practices, as well as any such actions with respect to late fees, interchange fees or other charges; impacts arising from or relating to the transition of our credit card processing services to third party service providers that we completed in 2022; failures or breaches in our operational or security systems, including as a result of cyberattacks, unanticipated impacts from technology modernization projects or otherwise; and any tax or other liability or adverse impacts arising out of or related to the spinoff of our former LoyaltyOne segment or the bankruptcy filings of Loyalty Ventures Inc. (LVI) and certain of its subsidiaries and subsequent litigation or other disputes. The foregoing factors, along with other risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in forward-looking statements, are described in greater detail under the headings “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the most recently ended fiscal year, which may be updated in Item 1A of, or elsewhere in, our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed for periods subsequent to such Form 10-K. Our forward-looking statements speak only as of the date made, and we undertake no obligation, other than as required by applicable law, to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, subsequent events, anticipated or unanticipated circumstances or otherwise.
22©2025 Bread Financial We prepare our Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). However, certain information included herein constitutes Non-GAAP Financial Measures. Our calculations of Non-GAAP Financial Measures may differ from the calculations of similarly titled measures by other companies. In particular: • We may from time to time repurchase debt, including our outstanding senior unsecured notes, subordinated notes or convertible notes. From a GAAP perspective we may pay a premium to induce these repurchases, or in certain cases repurchase at a discount, which would result in an impact to Total non-interest expenses, with a corresponding impact also reflected in Net income and consequently our Earnings per diluted share. We have shown adjustments to these three financial statement line items, for total Company as well as for continuing operations, to exclude the impacts from our repurchased debt transactions. We use Adjusted total non-interest expenses, Adjusted net income, and Adjusted earnings per diluted share to evaluate the ongoing operations of the Company excluding the volatility that can occur from the impacts of our repurchased debt transactions. • Pretax pre-provision earnings (PPNR) represents Income from continuing operations before income taxes and the Provision for credit losses. PPNR excluding any gain on portfolio sale and impacts from repurchased debt then excludes from PPNR the gain on any portfolio sale in the period, as well as the loss or gain on any repurchased debt in the period. We use PPNR and PPNR excluding any gain on portfolio sale and impacts from repurchased debt as metrics to evaluate our results of operations before income taxes, excluding the volatility that can occur within Provision for credit losses and the one-time nature of a gain on the sale of a portfolio and/or the impacts from repurchased debt. • Return on average tangible common equity (ROTCE) represents annualized Income from continuing operations divided by average Tangible common equity. Tangible common equity (TCE) represents Total stockholders' equity reduced by Goodwill and intangible assets, net. We use ROTCE as a metric to evaluate the Company's performance. • Tangible common equity over Tangible assets (TCE/TA) represents TCE divided by Tangible assets (TA), which is Total assets reduced by Goodwill and intangible assets, net. We use TCE/TA as a metric to evaluate the Company’s capital adequacy and estimate its ability to absorb losses. • Tangible book value per common share represents TCE divided by shares outstanding. We use Tangible book value per common share, a metric used across the industry, to estimate liquidation value. We believe the use of these Non-GAAP financial measures provide additional clarity in understanding our results of operations and trends. For a reconciliation of these Non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures, please see the “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures”.
