| CFO COMMENTARY | BUSINESS AND FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR THE FIRST QUARTER OF 2023* | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
| “Synchrony’s first quarter performance was highlighted by broad based purchase volume and receivables growth, as well as credit normalization that is tracking in line with our expectations. In addition, our financial results demonstrated both the power of our RSA — which continued to provide some offset to the impact of higher net charge-offs — and the strength of our balance sheet,” said Brian Wenzel, Synchrony’s Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. “Synchrony’s funding model is anchored on a loyal retail deposit base, the vast majority of which is insured and diversified by geography. During a period of heightened uncertainty in the banking industry, Synchrony served as a stable foundation for both our existing and new customers. And while we see no effects of recent industry events on Synchrony’s delinquency metrics, our reserves now include consideration of the potential effects of credit contraction across the industry on consumers and the economy. “Looking forward, while the macroeconomic environment remains uncertain, we remain confident in our business performance and financial outlook for the remainder of this year.” | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||

1Q'23 FINANCIAL RESULTS April 19, 2023 Exhibit 99.3
2 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. All comparisons are for the first quarter of 2023 compared to the first quarter of 2022, unless otherwise noted. 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 partners, and promotion and support of our products by our partners; cyber-attacks or other security breaches; disruptions in the operations of our and our outsourced partners' 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 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 sub-service 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; regulation, supervision, examination and enforcement of our business by governmental authorities, the impact of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”) and other legislative and regulatory developments and the impact of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s (the “CFPB”) 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 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 Relating to Our Business” and “Risk Factors Relating to Regulation” in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, as filed on February 9, 2023.

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 information on our loan receivables that have been adjusted to exclude amounts related to portfolio sales in the second quarter of 2022, 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. We believe the presentation of certain Core financial measures is a more meaningful measure to investors of the Company's ongoing credit programs. The reconciliation of these Core financial measures to the comparable GAAP component is included in Exhibit 99.3.
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 these capital and equity related non-GAAP measures to the applicable comparable GAAP financial measures are included in the detailed financial tables included in Exhibit 99.2.
