Pay vs Performance Disclosure |  |  |  |
Pay vs Performance Disclosure, Table | Pay versus Performance As required by Section 953(a) of the Dodd-Frank Act, we are providing the information below to illustrate the relationship between the SEC-defined compensation actually paid (“CAP”) and various measures used to gauge the Company’s financial performance in conformance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K. CAP is calculated in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K and differs from compensation shown in the Summary Compensation Table on page 104 and CEO and other NEO performance year compensation tables shown on pages 87 and 94, respectively. See below for a reconciliation of the total compensation shown in the Summary Compensation Table to CAP. The Committee does not utilize CAP as the basis for making compensation decisions. For further information concerning our compensation philosophy and how we align executive compensation with our performance, see the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section beginning on page 63.

Compensation Actually Paid vs. Total Shareholder Return | CAP versus Company TSR As shown in the chart above, the PEO and other NEO’s CAP amounts are aligned with the Company’s TSR. This alignment is due to the Company’s executive compensation program being comprised of primarily equity, with 83% of PEO and approximately 49% of all Non-PEO NEO’s total compensation for the 2023 performance year being comprised of equity-based compensation, similar to prior years. In addition, a portion of PEO compensation is directly linked to the Company’s TSR and vests entirely on the Company’s TSR performance relative to the Performance Share Peers over a three-year period. |  |  |
Compensation Actually Paid vs. Net Income | CAP versus Net Income As shown in the chart above, the Company’s net income has varied over the measurement period. While net income has increased and decreased directionally with PEO and other NEO CAP, the changes are not proportionally correlated with CAP. This is due in large part to the large portion of PEO and other NEO compensation that is equity-based compensation as well as the significant volatility of GAAP net income that resulted from the pandemic covered by a portion of the measurement period. In addition, while net income is one of several factors used to assess Company performance, the Company does not use net income as a primary metric to determine compensation levels or incentive plan payout. |  |  |
Compensation Actually Paid vs. Company Selected Measure | CAP versus D+TBV As shown in the chart above, the PEO and other NEO’s CAP amounts are aligned with the Company selected measure of D+TBV. This alignment is partially due to a large portion of PEO and other NEO compensation being comprised of Financial Performance Shares (as described on page 78). For the 2023 performance year, 43% of PEO total compensation and an average of 27% of other NEO total compensation was granted in the form of Financial Performance Shares, similar to prior years. Two-thirds of the payout of each Financial Performance Share upon vesting is based on D+TBV. |  |  |
Total Shareholder Return Vs Peer Group | Company TSR versus Peer Group TSR As shown in the chart above, the TSR peer group is based on the S&P Financial Index, which reflects the Company’s industry sector. The Company’s cumulative TSR was above that of the S&P Financial Index during the period covered by the table above. The financial services industry faced challenges over the measured period including a pandemic-driven recession, substantial changes in interest rates, and regional bank failures. The stability of Capital One’s deposit base and strength of our credit performance relative to peers, coupled with investor confidence in our results and our future, buoyed our stock price. |  |  |
Tabular List, Table | D+TBV
| ∎ |  | D+TBV rewards strong operational results, balanced stewardship of capital, and long-term stockholder value creation by measuring the value distributed to stockholders (common dividends per share) and the growth of company value created for common stockholders (tangible book value per common share).
| ∎ |  | D+TBV is calculated as the average of the ratios, expressed as a percentage, of (i) the Company’s tangible book value per common share at the end of each year within the performance period, plus total common dividends per share paid during such year, to (ii) the Company’s tangible book value per common share at the beginning of each corresponding year within the performance period.
Adjusted ROTCE
| ∎ |  | Adjusted ROTCE rewards balanced capital management and stewardship while capturing current and historical business performance and profitability as compared to the size of our stockholders’ investment in the Company. ROTCE is broadly used in banking as a key performance indicator and component in peer executive compensation programs.
| ∎ |  | Adjusted ROTCE is calculated as the ratio, expressed as a percentage, of (i) the Company’s net income available to common stockholders, excluding, on a tax-adjusted basis, the impact of impairment, amortization and re-measurement of intangible assets, to (ii) the Company’s average tangible common equity.
Net Revenue
| ∎ |  | Net revenue, and the growth of net revenue, is a reflection of the Company’s ability to grow new customer relationships, deepen existing relationships and expand into new businesses and areas of focus and market opportunity. Net revenue serves as the key driver for long-term earnings power and requires delivery of compelling products and experiences as well as a sustainable, through-cycle pricing strategy and business model.
