“We continue to support our employees, partners, customers and communities during the uncertainty of today’s health and economic crisis. In addition, our country is awakening to the need to meaningfully address racial injustice and equality. We continue to be guided by the principle of putting clients, partners, shareholders and communities at the forefront of all we do, and believe that the values which underpin our organization will empower us to become an even stronger, better company,” said Margaret Keane, Chief Executive Officer of Synchrony Financial. “As we navigate this new environment, we remain acutely focused on the future of our business. During the quarter, we successfully launched an exciting new program with Verizon and extended several programs, while also adding new partnerships.

Business and Financial Highlights for the Second Quarter of 2020*
Earnings
• | Net interest income decreased $759 million, or 18%, to $3.4 billion, mainly due to the Walmart consumer portfolio sale and impact of COVID-19. |
• | Retailer share arrangements decreased $86 million, or 10%, to $773 million, reflecting the initial impact of COVID-19 on program performance. |
• | Provision for credit losses increased $475 million, or 40%, to $1.7 billion, mainly driven by the reserve increase for the projected impact of COVID-19 related losses and the prior year reserve reduction related to Walmart. |
• | Other income increased $5 million, or 6%, to $95 million. |
• | Other expense decreased $73 million, or 7%, mainly due to the cost reductions from Walmart, lower purchase volume and accounts as well as reductions in certain discretionary spend, partially offset by higher operational losses, expenses related to the COVID-19 response and charitable contributions. |
• | Net earnings totaled $48 million compared to $853 million last year. |
Balance Sheet
• | Period-end loan receivables decreased 4%, or 3% on a Core basis; purchase volume decreased 19%, or 13% on a Core basis; and average active accounts decreased 14%, or 5% on a Core basis. |
• | Deposits decreased $1.5 billion, or 2%, to $64.1 billion and comprised 80% of funding. |
• | The Company’s balance sheet remained strong with total liquidity (liquid assets and undrawn credit facilities) of $28.0 billion, or 29.0% of total assets. |
• | The Company has elected to defer the regulatory capital effects of CECL for two years; the estimated Common Equity Tier 1 ratio was 15.3% compared to 14.3%, and the estimated Tier 1 Capital ratio was 16.3% compared to 14.3%, reflecting the Company’s strong capital generation capabilities. The estimated Tier 1 Capital ratio also reflects the $750 million preferred stock issuance in November 2019. |

• | Net interest margin was 13.53%. |

2
decreased 17%, and average active accounts decreased 18%, driven primarily by the sale of the Walmart consumer portfolio and the decline in loan receivables.
• | Payment Solutions period-end loan receivables decreased 3%; period-end loan receivables increased 1% on a Core basis led by growth in Power, substantially offset by the impact from COVID-19. Interest and fees on loans decreased 8%, driven primarily by lower late fees. Purchase volume decreased 19% and average active accounts decreased 3%. |
• | CareCredit period-end loan receivables decreased 5%, driven primarily by the impact from COVID-19, partially offset by growth in Veterinary. Interest and fees on loans decreased 4%, driven primarily by lower merchant discount as a result of the decline in purchase volume, which decreased 31%. Average active accounts decreased 2%. |
* All comparisons are for the second quarter of 2020 compared to the second quarter of 2019, unless otherwise noted.

Exhibit 99.3 2Q’20 Financial Results July 21, 2020
Disclaimers Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements The following slides are part of a presentation by Synchrony Financial in connection with reporting quarterly financial results. No representation is made that the information in these slides is complete. For additional information, see the earnings release and financial supplement included as exhibits to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed today and available on our website (www.synchronyfinancial.com) and the SEC's website (www.sec.gov). All references to net earnings and net income are intended to have the same meaning. This presentation contains certain forward-looking statements as defined in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which are subject to the "safe harbor" created by those sections. Forward-looking statements may be identified by words such as "expects," "intends," "anticipates," "plans," "believes," "seeks," "targets," "outlook," "estimates," "will," "should," "may" or words of similar meaning, but these words are not the exclusive means of identifying forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are based on management's current expectations and assumptions, and are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. As a result, actual results could differ materially from those indicated in these forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include global political, economic, business, competitive, market, regulatory and other factors and risks, such as: the impact of macroeconomic conditions and whether industry trends we have identified develop as anticipated, including the future impacts of the novel coronavirus disease (“COVID-19”) outbreak and measures taken in response thereto for which future developments are highly uncertain and difficult to predict; retaining existing partners and attracting new partners, concentration of our revenue in a small number of Retail Card partners, and promotion and support of our products by our partners; cyber-attacks or other security breaches; disruptions in the operations of our computer systems and data centers; the financial performance of our partners; the sufficiency of our allowance for credit losses and the accuracy of the assumptions or estimates used in preparing our financial statements, including those related to the new CECL accounting guidance; higher borrowing costs and adverse financial market conditions impacting our funding and liquidity, and any reduction in our credit ratings; our ability to grow our deposits in the future; damage to our reputation; our ability to securitize our loan receivables, occurrence of an early amortization of our securitization facilities, loss of the right to service or subservice our securitized loan receivables, and lower payment rates on our securitized loan receivables; changes in market interest rates and the impact of any margin compression; effectiveness of our risk management processes and procedures, reliance on models which may be inaccurate or misinterpreted, our ability to manage our credit risk; our ability to offset increases in our costs in retailer share arrangements; competition in the consumer finance industry; our concentration in the U.S. consumer credit market; our ability to successfully develop and commercialize new or enhanced products and services; our ability to realize the value of acquisitions and strategic investments; reductions in interchange fees; fraudulent activity; failure of third parties to provide various services that are important to our operations; international risks and compliance and regulatory risks and costs associated with international operations; alleged infringement of intellectual property rights of others and our ability to protect our intellectual property; litigation and regulatory actions; our ability to attract, retain and motivate key officers and employees; tax legislation initiatives or challenges to our tax positions and/or interpretations, and state sales tax rules and regulations; a material indemnification obligation to GE under the Tax Sharing and Separation Agreement with GE if we cause the split-off from GE or certain preliminary transactions to fail to qualify for tax-free treatment or in the case of certain significant transfers of our stock following the split-off; regulation, supervision, examination and enforcement of our business by governmental authorities, the impact of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and other legislative and regulatory developments and the impact of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s regulation of our business; impact of capital adequacy rules and liquidity requirements; restrictions that limit our ability to pay dividends and repurchase our common stock, and restrictions that limit the Synchrony Bank’s ability to pay dividends to us; regulations relating to privacy, information security and data protection; use of third-party vendors and ongoing third-party business relationships; and failure to comply with anti-money laundering and anti-terrorism financing laws. For the reasons described above, we caution you against relying on any forward-looking statements, which should also be read in conjunction with the other cautionary statements that are included elsewhere in this presentation and in our public filings, including under the heading "Risk Factors" in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, as filed on February 13, 2020, and the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, as filed on April 22, 2020. You should not consider any list of such factors to be an exhaustive statement of all the risks, uncertainties, or potentially inaccurate assumptions that could cause our current expectations or beliefs to change. Further, any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and we undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which the statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as otherwise may be required by law. 2

Exhibit 99.4
Explanation of Non-GAAP Measures
The information provided in this Form 8-K and exhibits includes measures which are not prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP").
We present certain financial measures that have been adjusted to exclude amounts related to the Walmart and Yamaha portfolios from the prior year periods presented, which we refer to as "Core" financial measures, in this Form 8-K and exhibits. These Core financial measures are not measures presented in accordance with GAAP. Given the sale of the Walmart and Yamaha portfolios which were completed in October 2019 and January 2020, respectively, we believe the presentation of certain Core financial measures is a more meaningful measure to investors of the Company's ongoing credit programs.
On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“CECL”). For the initial year of adoption of the new accounting standard, we present what both our allowance for credit losses and allowance for credit losses as a percentage of our period-end loan receivables (“allowance coverage ratio”) would have been if the prior accounting guidance was still in effect. These measures are non-GAAP measures. We believe the presentation of these measures is meaningful to investors in providing comparability with the corresponding GAAP measures we report in prior year periods when the prior accounting guidance was effective.
In addition, we also present certain capital measures in this Form 8-K and exhibits. Our “fully-phased Tier 1 Capital and Credit Loss Reserve Ratio” is not required by regulators to be disclosed, and therefore is considered a non-GAAP measure. We believe this ratio is a useful measure to investors as it provides a meaningful measure of what the Company’s total loss absorption capacity would be if the transitional rules currently in effect, which permit the temporary deferral of the regulatory capital effects of CECL, were no longer available for us to apply.
We also present a measure we refer to as “tangible common equity” in this Form 8-K and exhibits. Tangible common equity itself is not a measure presented in accordance with GAAP. We believe tangible common equity is a more meaningful measure to investors of the net asset value of the Company.
The reconciliations of the above non-GAAP measures to the applicable comparable GAAP financial measure are included in the detailed financial tables included in Exhibit 99.2.
