Bread Financial | January 29, 2026 1 "Our 2025 financial and operational performance underscore our disciplined approach to growing responsibly, building financial resilience, and advancing operational excellence, positioning us well as we enter 2026. We delivered full year net income of $518 million, grew our tangible book value per common share by 23% over the past year, and signed or renewed several key brand partners. In 2025, we returned $350 million in capital to shareholders, including $310 million via common share repurchases, or 12% of our year-end 2024 outstanding shares. We also increased our quarterly common dividend by 10% during the fourth quarter of 2025. At the same time, we meaningfully strengthened and optimized our balance sheet by reducing and refinancing parent debt and issuing subordinated debt and preferred equity. Further, we increased our direct to consumer deposits by 11% year-over-year. As a result of these actions, coupled with our enhanced enterprise risk management framework, we received credit ratings upgrades from Moody's and Fitch, and positive outlooks from Moody's and S&P. "Consumer financial health remained resilient throughout the year, driving a 3.0% year-over-year increase in credit sales with higher transaction sizes and increased transaction frequency. The positive trajectory of our credit sales and credit performance metrics, along with our new business additions and stable partner base, gives us confidence that we are nearing an inflection point for loan growth as we enter 2026. We are closely monitoring changes in consumer behavior, as well as monetary and fiscal policy developments, and potential downstream impacts on consumer spending and employment. "During the year, we signed or renewed several partners in diverse industry verticals including travel and entertainment, technology, and home. With the multi-year extension of our long-term relationship with Caesars Entertainment, all of our top 10 programs are now renewed into at least 2028. Our full product suite, technology advancements, sophisticated underwriting, enhanced loyalty programs, and differentiated partnership model continue to be keys to our success in winning new partnerships, as well as retaining and strengthening our existing brand partner relationships. "We are pleased with the results we delivered in 2025 and remain confident in our ability to generate attractive returns in 2026. Supported by strong capital levels and cash flow generation, we are well positioned to execute on our capital and growth priorities while delivering sustainable, long-term value for our shareholders." - Ralph Andretta, president and chief executive officer Bread Financial reports fourth quarter and full year 2025 results COLUMBUS, Ohio, January 29, 2026 – Bread Financial Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: BFH), a tech-forward financial services company that provides simple, personalized payment, lending, and saving solutions, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2025. (1) Represents a Non-GAAP financial measure. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and "Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures." $18.0B 4Q25 Average loans $975MM 4Q25 Revenue 13.0% Common equity tier 1 capital ratio $57.57 Tangible book value per common share(1) Fourth quarter 2025 Full year 2025 ($ in millions, except per share amounts) Total company Continuing operations Total company Continuing operations Net income available to common stockholders $53 $53 $518 $521 Adjusted net income(1) $95 $95 $575 $578 Earnings per diluted share $1.16 $1.16 $10.89 $10.96 Adjusted earnings per diluted share(1) $2.07 $2.07 $12.09 $12.16 • Relative to the fourth quarter of 2024: • Income from continuing operations increased $45 million primarily driven by higher net interest income and lower provision for credit losses, partially offset by current year impacts from debt repurchases of $42 million. • Average loans decreased 1% due to an increased payment rate. • Common equity tier 1 (CET1) capital ratio increased 60 basis points to 13.0% and decreased 100 basis points sequentially. • Tangible book value per common share(1) increased $10.60, or 23%, to $57.57. • Return on average tangible common equity(1) was 8.0% in the fourth quarter and 20.4% for the full year. • Fourth quarter delinquency rate was 5.8% and net loss rate was 7.4%. • Repurchased 1.9 million common shares for $120 million during the quarter. • Received credit ratings upgrades from Moody's and Fitch, and a positive outlook from Moody's and S&P. CEO COMMENTARY Exhibit 99.1

Bread Financial | January 29, 2026 2 "Our fourth quarter results demonstrate our ability to drive strong, sustainable results with our tangible book value per common share of $57.57 increasing nearly $11, or 23%, from a year ago. Adjusted income from continuing operations, a non-GAAP financial measure, improved $74 million versus a year ago, reflecting the implementation of our pricing actions, which improved our net interest margin, and a lower provision for credit losses as delinquencies and credit losses continued to gradually improve. Adjusted total non-interest expenses, a non-GAAP financial measure, decreased $25 million, or 5% year-over year as a result of our ongoing operational excellence initiatives. "Revenue increased 5% year-over-year with net interest margin improving to 18.9%. Our net interest margin increased over the fourth quarter of last year as a result of the continued gradual build of pricing changes, as well as lower funding costs reflective of our opportunistic debt actions and growth in direct-to-consumer deposits. We expect these benefits to continue into 2026, offset by pressure from an anticipated lower prime rate, the ongoing gradual improvement in our payment and delinquency rate trends, and a continued shift in product and risk mix. "As part of our ongoing actions to transform and strengthen our company, as evidenced by the rating agency upgrades and positive outlooks, we continued to opportunistically optimize our capital structure and lower our funding costs. During the year, we retired our outstanding convertible and 9.75% senior notes, completed 8.375% subordinated and 6.75% senior notes offerings, and issued $75 million in 8.625% preferred shares. Direct-to-consumer deposits increased 11% year-over-year to $8.5 billion at quarter- end with our average direct-to-consumer deposits now representing 48% of total funding, up from 43% a year ago. Additionally, while maintaining strong capital levels, we repurchased $120 million, or 1.9 million shares, of our common stock in the fourth quarter of 2025, with $240 million remaining on our open share repurchase authorization at year-end. "We are pleased with the year-over-year improvement in our credit metrics driven by our disciplined credit risk management and product diversification. We continue to execute well on our credit strategies and expect ongoing gradual improvement in our credit metrics. "Improved credit performance and higher-quality new account acquisitions drove the 70 basis point year-over-year improvement in our reserve rate which ended the year at 11.2%. We continue to apply prudent weightings on the economic scenarios used in our credit reserve modeling given the wide range of potential macroeconomic outcomes, including ongoing uncertainty around inflation and unemployment. "Our 2025 results reflect our prudent capital allocation, a disciplined credit management framework, and our focus on responsible growth. We look forward to building on our momentum in 2026." - Perry Beberman, executive vice president and chief financial officer 2026 full year outlook • "Our 2026 outlook is based on continued consumer resilience, inflation remaining above the Federal Reserve target rate of 2%, and a generally stable labor market. Our outlook also anticipates interest rate decreases by the Federal Reserve, which will modestly pressure total net interest income. • Average loan growth: "Based on visibility into our pipeline and partner growth, we expect average credit card and other loans growth to be up low single digits from full year 2025. • Total revenue: "We anticipate total revenue growth to be up low single digits from full year 2025, largely in line with average loan growth. • Total expenses: "We manage expense growth based on revenue generation and investment opportunities and expect to deliver positive operating leverage in 2026, excluding the pretax impacts from our debt repurchases. • Net loss rate: "We anticipate a 2026 net loss rate in the range of 7.2% to 7.4%. • Effective tax rate: "We expect our full year normalized effective tax rate to be in the range of 25% to 27%, with quarter-over-quarter variability due to the timing of certain discrete items."

Bread Financial | January 29, 2026 4 Fourth quarter 2025 compared with fourth quarter 2024 – continuing operations • Credit sales were $8.1 billion for the fourth quarter of 2025, an increase of $0.2 billion, or 2%, driven by new partner growth and increased general-purpose spending. • Average credit card and other loans of $18.0 billion were down 1%, and end-of-period credit card and other loans of $18.8 billion were nearly flat, both of which were pressured by an increasing payment rate. • Revenue increased $49 million, or 5%, primarily reflecting the implementation of pricing changes, partially offset by lower billed late fees and higher retailer share arrangements. • Total non-interest expenses increased $19 million, or 4%, primarily driven by the current and prior year impacts from debt repurchases of $55 million and $11 million, respectively. Employee compensation and benefits costs decreased $10 million, or 4%, and card and processing expenses decreased $7 million, or 8%. Excluding the impacts from our debt repurchases, adjusted total non-interest expenses, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, decreased $25 million, or 5%, driven by our continued operational excellence initiatives. • Income from continuing operations increased $45 million, primarily driven by higher net interest income and lower provision for credit losses, partially offset by the impacts from our debt repurchases. Excluding the impacts from our debt repurchases, adjusted income from continuing operations, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, increased $74 million. • Adjusted PPNR, a non-GAAP financial measure which excludes any gain on portfolio sale and impacts from debt repurchases, increased $76 million, or 19%. • The delinquency rate of 5.8% decreased from 5.9% in the fourth quarter of 2024. • The net loss rate of 7.4% decreased from 8.0% in the fourth quarter of 2024. • CET1 ratio of 13.0% increased from 12.4% in the fourth quarter of 2024, driven by strong net earnings, partially offset by 180 basis points for share repurchases and common stock dividends, 40 basis points related to debt repurchases, and 60 basis points for the last CECL phase-in in the first quarter of 2025.

Bread Financial | January 29, 2026 5 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 consequently 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 charge-off rates; loss of, or reduction in demand for services and/or products from, significant brand partners or customers in the highly competitive markets in which we operate, including competition from new and non-traditional competitors, such as financial technology companies, and with respect to new products, services and technologies, such as the emergence or increase in popularity of agentic commerce, digital payment platforms and currencies and other alternative payment and deposit solutions; the concentration of our business in U.S. consumer credit; inaccuracies in the models and estimates on which we rely, including our credit risk management models and the amount of our Allowance for credit losses; 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, executive action, 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 that would place limits on credit card interest rates or late fees, interchange fees or other charges; 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 liability or other 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, including the pending litigation against us in connection with the spinoff. 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.

Bread Financial | January 29, 2026 6 Non-GAAP financial measures 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 have previously repurchased and may, from time to time, in the future continue to repurchase debt, including any outstanding senior unsecured notes, subordinated notes or convertible notes. In such transactions, we may pay a premium to induce these repurchases, or in certain cases repurchase at a discount, which, from a GAAP perspective, 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. For our prior debt repurchases, we show adjustments to these three financial statement line items, for total Company as well as for continuing operations, to exclude the impacts from our debt repurchases. 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 debt repurchases. • 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 debt repurchases then excludes from PPNR the gain on any portfolio sale in the period, as well as the loss or gain on any debt repurchases in the period. We use PPNR and PPNR excluding any gain on portfolio sale and impacts from debt repurchases as metrics to evaluate our results of operations before income taxes, excluding the movements 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 debt repurchases. • Return on average tangible common equity (ROTCE) represents annualized Income from continuing operations less Dividends to preferred stockholders, divided by average Tangible common equity. Tangible common equity (TCE) represents Total stockholders’ equity reduced by Preferred stock and Goodwill and intangible assets, net. We use ROTCE as a metric to evaluate the Company’s performance. • Tangible book value per common share represents TCE divided by common shares outstanding. We use Tangible book value per common share, a metric used across the industry, to assess capital and performance, in conjunction with ROTCE. 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.”

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES 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 have previously repurchased and may, from time to time, in the future continue to repurchase debt, including any outstanding senior unsecured notes, subordinated notes or convertible notes. In such transactions, we may pay a premium to induce these repurchases, or in certain cases repurchase at a discount, which, from a GAAP perspective, 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. For our prior debt repurchases, we show adjustments to these three financial statement line items, for total Company as well as for continuing operations, to exclude the impacts from our debt repurchases. 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 debt repurchases. • 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 debt repurchases then excludes from PPNR the gain on any portfolio sale in the period, as well as the loss or gain on any debt repurchases in the period. We use PPNR and PPNR excluding any gain on portfolio sale and impacts from debt repurchases as metrics to evaluate our results of operations before income taxes, excluding the movements 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 debt repurchases. • Return on average tangible common equity (ROTCE) represents annualized Income from continuing operations less Dividends to preferred stockholders, divided by average Tangible common equity. Tangible common equity (TCE) represents Total stockholders’ equity reduced by Preferred stock and Goodwill and intangible assets, net. We use ROTCE as a metric to evaluate the Company’s performance. • Tangible book value per common share represents TCE divided by common shares outstanding. We use Tangible book value per common share, a metric used across the industry, to assess capital and performance, in conjunction with ROTCE. • 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.

Common equity tier 1 capital ratio Common equity tier 1 capital ratio represents tier 1 capital reduced for Preferred stock 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 by Goodwill and intangible assets, net. Delinquency rate Delinquency rate represents outstanding balances that are contractually delinquent (i.e., principal balances greater than 30 days past due) as of the end of the period, divided by the outstanding principal amount of Credit card and other loans as of the same period-end. Efficiency ratio and Adjusted efficiency ratio Efficiency ratio represents Total non-interest expenses divided by Total net interest and non-interest income. Adjusted efficiency ratio excludes any gain on portfolio sale and impacts from debt repurchases. Loan yield Loan yield represents annualized Interest and fees on loans divided by Average credit card and other loans. Net interest margin Net interest margin represents annualized Net interest income divided by average Total interest-earning assets. Net loss rate Net loss rate, an annualized rate, represents net principal losses for the period divided by Average credit card and other loans for the same period, using an average daily balance calculation methodology. 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. PPNR and PPNR excluding gain on portfolio sale and impacts from debt repurchases * PPNR represents Income from continuing operations before income taxes and the Provision for credit losses. PPNR excluding gain on portfolio sale and impacts from debt repurchases excludes from PPNR any gain on portfolio sale in the period, as well as the impacts from our debt repurchases in the period. Reserve rate Reserve rate represents the Allowance for credit losses divided by End-of-period credit card and other loans. Return on average assets Return on average assets represents annualized Income from continuing operations divided by average Total assets. Return on average equity Return on average equity represents annualized Income from continuing operations divided by average Total stockholders’ equity. Return on average tangible common equity * Return on average tangible common equity (ROTCE) represents annualized Income from continuing operations, less Dividends to preferred stockholders, divided by average Tangible common equity. Tangible common equity (TCE) represents Total stockholders’ equity reduced by Preferred stock and Goodwill and intangible assets, net. Tangible book value per common share * Tangible book value per common share represents TCE divided by common shares outstanding. Tangible common equity + 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. 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. 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. 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. * Represents a Non-GAAP financial measure.

We are unable to provide a quantitative reconciliation of the forward-looking 2026 financial outlook for this Non-GAAP Financial Measure to its most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP measure as we cannot reliably predict all of the necessary components of such a forward-looking GAAP measure without unreasonable effort.

16©2026 Bread Financial Additional footnotes and definitions of terms • Average daily balance: 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. • Hurricanes Helene and Milton: 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. • 2022 Net loss rate: 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. • Adjusted efficiency ratio: Efficiency ratio represents Total non-interest expenses divided by Total net interest and non-interest income. Adjusted efficiency ratio excludes any gain on portfolio sale and impacts from debt repurchases. • Reserve rate: Reserve rate represents the percentage of the Allowance for credit losses to end-of-period Credit card and other loans. • 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.

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 consequently 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 charge-off rates; loss of, or reduction in demand for services and/or products from, significant brand partners or customers in the highly competitive markets in which we operate, including competition from new and non-traditional competitors, such as financial technology companies, and with respect to new products, services and technologies, such as the emergence or increase in popularity of agentic commerce, digital payment platforms and currencies and other alternative payment and deposit solutions; the concentration of our business in U.S. consumer credit; inaccuracies in the models and estimates on which we rely, including our credit risk management models and the amount of our Allowance for credit losses; 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, executive action, 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 that would place limits on credit card interest rates or late fees, interchange fees or other charges; 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 liability or other 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, including the pending litigation against us in connection with the spinoff. 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.

18©2026 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 have previously repurchased and may, from time to time, in the future continue to repurchase debt, including any outstanding senior unsecured notes, subordinated notes or convertible notes. In such transactions, we may pay a premium to induce these repurchases, or in certain cases repurchase at a discount, which, from a GAAP perspective, 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. For our prior debt repurchases, we show adjustments to these three financial statement line items, for total Company as well as for continuing operations, to exclude the impacts from our debt repurchases. 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 debt repurchases. • 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 debt repurchases then excludes from PPNR the gain on any portfolio sale in the period, as well as the loss or gain on any debt repurchases in the period. We use PPNR and PPNR excluding any gain on portfolio sale and impacts from debt repurchases as metrics to evaluate our results of operations before income taxes, excluding the movements 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 debt repurchases. • Return on average tangible common equity (ROTCE) represents annualized Income from continuing operations less Dividends to preferred stockholders, divided by average Tangible common equity. Tangible common equity (TCE) represents Total stockholders’ equity reduced by Preferred stock and Goodwill and intangible assets, net. We use ROTCE as a metric to evaluate the Company’s performance. • Tangible book value per common share represents TCE divided by common shares outstanding. We use Tangible book value per common share, a metric used across the industry, to assess capital and performance, in conjunction with ROTCE. 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.” Non-GAAP financial measures
