(1)Pre-provision earnings is calculated based on the sum of net interest income and non-interest income, less non-interest expense for the period. Management believes that this financial metric is useful in enabling investors and others to assess the Company’s ability to generate income to cover credit losses through a credit cycle, which can vary significantly between periods.
(2)Amounts excluding adjusting items are non-GAAP measures that we believe help investors and users of our financial information understand the effect of adjusting items on our selected reported results and provide alternate measurements of our performance, both in the current period and across periods. See Table 15 in Exhibit 99.2 for a reconciliation of our selected reported results to these non-GAAP measures.

(1)The information contained in this Financial Supplement is preliminary and based on data available at the time of the earnings presentation. Investors should refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2021 once it is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
(2)This Financial Supplement includes non-GAAP measures. We believe these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors and users of our financial information as they provide an alternate measurement of our performance and assist in assessing our capital adequacy and the level of return generated. These non-GAAP measures should not be viewed as a substitute for reported results determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (“GAAP”), nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP measures that may be presented by other companies.

Table 5: Notes to Financial Summary, Selected Metrics and Consolidated Financial Statements (Tables 1—4)

(1)Total net revenue was reduced by $151 million in Q4 2021, $123 million in Q3 2021, $175 million in Q2 2021, $180 million in Q1 2021 and $177 million in Q4 2020 for credit card finance charges and fees charged-off as uncollectible.
(2)Dividends and undistributed earnings allocated to participating securities and earnings per share are computed independently for each period. Accordingly, the sum of each quarterly amount may not agree to the year-to-date total. We also provide adjusted diluted earnings per share, which is a non-GAAP measure. See “Table 15: Calculation of Regulatory Capital Measures and Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures” for additional information on our non-GAAP measures.
(3)On March 2, 2020, we redeemed all outstanding shares of our fixed rate 6.00% non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock Series B, which increased our net loss available to common shareholders by $22 million in Q1 2020. On December 1, 2020, we redeemed all outstanding shares of our fixed rate 6.20% non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock Series F, which reduced our net income available to common shareholders by $17 million in Q4 2020. On September 1, 2021, we redeemed all outstanding shares of our fixed-to-floating rate non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock Series E, which reduced our net income available to common shareholders by $12 million in Q3 2021. On December 1, 2021, we redeemed all outstanding shares of our fixed rate 5.20% non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock Series G, and our fixed rate 6.00% non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock Series H, which together reduced our net income available to common shareholders by $34 million in Q4 2021.
(4)Tangible book value per common share is a non-GAAP measure calculated based on tangible common equity divided by common shares outstanding. See “Table 15: Calculation of Regulatory Capital Measures and Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures” for additional information on non-GAAP measures.
(5)Total net revenue margin is calculated based on total net revenue for the period divided by average interest-earning assets for the period.
(6)Net interest margin is calculated based on annualized net interest income for the period divided by average interest-earning assets for the period.
(7)Return on average tangible assets is a non-GAAP measure calculated based on annualized income (loss) from continuing operations, net of tax, for the period divided by average tangible assets for the period. See “Table 15: Calculation of Regulatory Capital Measures and Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures” for additional information on non-GAAP measures.
(8)Return on average common equity is calculated based on net income (loss) available to common stockholders less income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax, for the period, divided by average common equity. Our calculation of return on average common equity may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures reported by other companies.
(9)Return on average tangible common equity (“ROTCE”) is a non-GAAP measure calculated based on net income (loss) available to common stockholders less income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax, for the period, divided by average tangible common equity (“TCE”). Our calculation of return on average TCE may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures reported by other companies. See “Table 15: Calculation of Regulatory Capital Measures and Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures” for additional information on non-GAAP measures.
(10)Efficiency ratio is calculated based on total non-interest expense for the period divided by total net revenue for the period. We also provide an adjusted efficiency ratio, which is a non-GAAP measure. See “Table 15: Calculation of Regulatory Capital Measures and Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures” for additional information on our non-GAAP measures.
(11)Operating efficiency ratio is calculated based on operating expense for the period divided by total net revenue for the period. We also provide an adjusted operating efficiency ratio, which is a non-GAAP measure. See “Table 15: Calculation of Regulatory Capital Measures and Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures” for additional information on our non-GAAP measures.
(12)Net charge-off rate is calculated based on annualized net charge-offs for the period divided by average loans held for investment for the period.
(13)Capital ratios as of the end of Q4 2021 are preliminary and therefore subject to change. See “Table 15: Calculation of Regulatory Capital Measures and Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures” for information on the calculation of each of these ratios.
(14)TCE ratio is a non-GAAP measure calculated based on TCE divided by tangible assets. See “Table 15: Calculation of Regulatory Capital Measures and Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures” for additional information on non-GAAP measures.

Table 14: Notes to Net Interest Margin, Loan, Allowance and Business Segment Disclosures (Tables 6—13)

(1)We reclassified $2.1 billion in partnership loans to held for sale as of September 30, 2020.
(2)We reclassified $2.6 billion in international partnership loans to held for sale as of June 30, 2021.
(3)Nonperforming loan rates are calculated based on nonperforming loans for each category divided by period-end total loans held for investment for each respective category.
(4)Nonperforming assets consist of nonperforming loans, repossessed assets and other foreclosed assets. The total nonperforming asset rate is calculated based on total nonperforming assets divided by the combined period-end total loans held for investment, repossessed assets and other foreclosed assets.
(5)Primarily represents foreign currency translation adjustments.
(6)Some of our commercial investments generate tax-exempt income, tax credits or other tax benefits. Accordingly, we present our Commercial Banking revenue and yields on a taxable-equivalent basis, calculated using the federal statutory tax rate of 21% and state taxes where applicable, with offsetting reductions to the Other category.
(7)Average yield is calculated based on annualized interest income for the period divided by average loans during the period. Annualized interest income does not include any allocations, such as funds transfer pricing.
(8)Total net revenue margin is calculated based on annualized total net revenue for the period divided by average loans outstanding during the period.
(9)Purchase volume consists of purchase transactions, net of returns, for the period, and excludes cash advance and balance transfer transactions.
(10)Percentages represent period-end loans held for investment in each credit score category. Domestic card credit scores generally represent FICO scores. These scores are obtained from one of the major credit bureaus at origination and are refreshed monthly thereafter. We approximate non-FICO credit scores to comparable FICO scores for consistency purposes. Balances for which no credit score is available or the credit score is invalid are included in the 660 or below category.
(11)Percentages represent period-end loans held for investment in each credit score category. Auto credit scores generally represent average FICO scores obtained from three credit bureaus at the time of application and are not refreshed thereafter. Balances for which no credit score is available or the credit score is invalid are included in the 620 or below category.
(12)Criticized exposures correspond to the “Special Mention,” “Substandard” and “Doubtful” asset categories defined by bank regulatory authorities.
(13)Includes charges incurred as a result of restructuring activities.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures

The following non-GAAP measures consist of TCE, tangible assets and metrics computed using these amounts, which include tangible book value per common share, return on average tangible assets, return on average TCE and TCE ratio. We consider these metrics to be key financial performance measures that management uses in assessing capital adequacy and the level of returns generated. While our non-GAAP measures are widely used by investors, analysts and bank regulatory agencies to assess the capital position of financial services companies, they may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures reported by other companies. The following tables present reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to the applicable amounts measured in accordance with GAAP.

__________
(1)Regulatory capital metrics and capital ratios as of December 31, 2021 are preliminary and therefore subject to change.
(2)Excludes certain components of AOCI as permitted under the Tailoring Rules.
(3)Total capital equals the sum of Tier 1 capital and Tier 2 capital.
(4)Adjusted average assets for the purpose of calculating our Tier 1 leverage ratio represents total average assets adjusted for amounts that are deducted from Tier 1 capital, predominately goodwill and intangible assets. Tier 1 leverage ratio is a regulatory capital measure calculated based on Tier 1 capital divided by adjusted average assets.
(5)Common equity Tier 1 capital ratio is a regulatory capital measure calculated based on common equity Tier 1 capital divided by risk-weighted assets.
(6)Tier 1 capital ratio is a regulatory capital measure calculated based on Tier 1 capital divided by risk-weighted assets.
(7)Total capital ratio is a regulatory capital measure calculated based on total capital divided by risk-weighted assets.
(8)TCE ratio is a non-GAAP measure calculated based on TCE divided by tangible assets.
(9)Includes impact of related deferred taxes.
(10)Dividends and undistributed earnings allocated to participating securities and earnings per share are computed independently for each period. Accordingly, the sum of each quarterly amount may not agree to the year-to-date total.
