10©2024 Bread Financial 2024 financial outlook Our outlook assumes no impact from the CFPB late fee rule given uncertainty surrounding the timing and outcome of ongoing litigation.* Full year 2023 actuals Full year 2024 outlook Commentary Average loans 2023: $18,216 million Down low single digits • Based on our current economic outlook, strategic credit tightening actions, higher gross credit losses, and visibility into our pipeline, we expect 2024 average credit card and other loans to be down low single digits relative to 2023. Revenue (excl. gain on sale) 2023: $4,059 million Down low- to mid- single digits • Net interest margin is expected to be lower than the 2023 full year rate as a result of higher reversals of interest and fees due to higher gross credit losses, a continued shift in product mix to co-brand, proprietary, and installment lending products, as well as anticipated interest rate reductions by the Federal Reserve. • Revenue guidance excludes portfolio sale gains. Total non-interest expenses 2023: $2,092 million Down mid-single digits • We continue to strategically invest in technology modernization, marketing, and product innovation to drive growth and efficiencies. Net loss rate 2023: 7.5% Low 8% range • Our outlook is inclusive of continued inflationary pressure on consumers’ ability to pay, our credit management actions, and expected slower loan growth. Assumes a gradual modest improvement in economic conditions throughout the year. * A preliminary injunction has been granted in the lawsuit challenging the CFPB's final late fee rule. We cannot provide any assurance regarding the outcome of this or any other litigation relating to the rule. See "Forward-Looking Statements" included elsewhere in this presentation.

(13) Payment rate: Payment rate represents consumer payments during the last month of the period, divided by the beginning-of-month Credit card and other loans, including held for sale in applicable periods. Capital and liquidity (1) Common equity tier 1 capital ratio: Common equity tier 1 capital ratio represents common equity tier 1 capital divided by total risk-weighted assets. (2) Total risk-based capital ratio: Total risk-based capital ratio represents total capital divided by total risk-weighted assets. (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.

22©2024 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, higher interest rates, labor market conditions, recessionary pressures or a concern over a prolonged economic slowdown, and the related impact on consumer spending behavior, payments, debt levels, savings rates and other behavior; global political and public health events and conditions, including ongoing wars and military conflicts; 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 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 liability, disputes or other adverse impacts arising out of or relating to the spinoff of our former LoyaltyOne segment or the bankruptcy filings of Loyalty Ventures Inc. and certain of its subsidiaries. In addition, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) has issued a final rule that, absent a successful legal challenge, will place significant limits on credit card late fees, which would have a significant impact on our business and results of operations for at least the short term and, depending on the effectiveness of the mitigating actions that we have taken or may in the future take in anticipation of, or in response to, the final rule, may potentially adversely impact us over the long term; we cannot provide any assurance as to the effective date of the rule, the result of any pending or future challenges or other litigation relating to the rule, or our ability to mitigate or offset the impact of the rule on our business and results of operations. 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.


 
23©2024 Bread Financial We prepare our audited 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: • The share amounts used in calculating Adjusted net income per diluted share and Adjusted income from continuing operations per diluted share have been adjusted for the anti-dilutive impact of our capped call transactions. In connection with the issuance of our $316 million aggregate principal amount of 4.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2028 (the Convertible Notes) on June 13, 2023, we entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions (the Capped Calls) that are expected generally to reduce potential dilution to our common stock and/or offset certain cash payments we may be required to make in excess of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes upon conversion, redemption or repurchase thereof, with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap of $61.48 per share. We use Adjusted net income per diluted share and Adjusted income from continuing operations per diluted share to evaluate the dilutive impact of our Convertible Notes after the anti-dilutive impact of the Capped Calls is considered. • Pretax pre-provision earnings (PPNR) represents Income from continuing operations before income taxes and the Provision for credit losses. PPNR less gain on portfolio sale then decreases PPNR by the gain on any portfolio sale in the period. We use PPNR and PPNR less gain on portfolio sale 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. • 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 liquidity value. We believe the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provide additional clarity in understanding our results of operations and trends.
