Exhibit 99.3
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Introduction
The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and notes thereto have been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X in order to give effect to the mergers (as defined below), the Discover Student Loan Sale (as defined below), and the related transaction accounting adjustments (pro forma adjustments) described in the accompanying notes.
On February 19, 2024, Capital One Financial Corporation, a Delaware corporation (Capital One or the Company), entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the merger agreement), by and among Capital One, Discover Financial Services, a Delaware corporation (Discover) and Vega Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (Merger Sub), pursuant to which (i) Merger Sub merged with and into Discover, with Discover as the surviving entity in the merger (the merger); (ii) immediately following the merger, Discover, as the surviving entity, merged with and into Capital One, with Capital One as the surviving entity in the second-step merger (the second step merger and together with the merger, the mergers); and (iii) immediately following the second step merger, Discover Bank (Discover Bank), a Delaware-chartered bank and wholly owned subsidiary of Discover, merged with and into Capital Ones wholly owned national bank subsidiary, Capital One, National Association (CONA), with CONA as the surviving entity in the merger. The mergers were completed on May 18, 2025.
In accordance with the merger agreement, at the effective time of the merger (the effective time), each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Discover (Discover common stock) outstanding immediately prior to the effective time other than certain shares held by Capital One or Discover, was converted into the right to receive 1.0192 shares (the exchange ratio) of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Capital One (Capital One common stock). Holders of Discover common stock received cash in lieu of fractional shares of Capital One common stock.
In accordance with the merger agreement, at the effective time of the second step merger (the second effective time), (i) each share of Fixed-to-Floating Rate Non-Cumulative Perpetual preferred stock, Series C, par value $0.01 per share, of Discover (Discover Series C preferred stock) and (ii) each share of 6.125% Fixed-Rate Reset Non-Cumulative Perpetual preferred stock, Series D, par value $0.01 per share, of Discover (Discover Series D preferred stock and collectively with the Discover Series C preferred stock, the Discover preferred stock), outstanding immediately prior to the second effective time was converted into the right to receive one share of an applicable newly issued series of preferred stock of Capital One having terms that are not materially less favorable than the Discover Series C preferred stock or Discover Series D preferred stock, as applicable (new Capital One preferred stock).
In accordance with the merger agreement, at the effective time, (i) each outstanding Discover restricted stock unit award was converted into a corresponding award with respect to Capital One common stock, with the number of shares underlying such award adjusted based on the exchange ratio, and (ii) each outstanding Discover performance stock unit award was converted into a cash-based award, with the number of shares underlying such award determined based on the greater of target and actual performance for awards for which more than one year of the performance period has elapsed, and target performance for awards for which one year or less of the performance period has elapsed, with the per share cash amount determined using the product of the exchange ratio and the average of the closing sale prices of Capital One common stock for the five trading days ending on the day preceding the closing date of the mergers. Each such converted Capital One award will otherwise continue to be subject to the same terms and conditions as applied to the corresponding Discover equity award.
On July 17, 2024, Discover Bank entered into a purchase agreement with Santiago Holdings, LP (Santiago Holdings), an Ontario limited partnership and an affiliate of each of Carlyle and KKR, pursuant to which Discover Bank agreed to sell its private student loan portfolio to Santiago Holdings (the Discover Student Loan Sale), with Firstmark Services, a division of Nelnet Inc., assuming responsibility for servicing the portfolio upon the sale. The cash purchase consideration payable to Discover Bank in the transaction reflects the principal balance of the private
1
student loan portfolio and a premium, plus any outstanding accrued and unpaid interest at each applicable student loan sale closing. The Discover Student Loan Sale was completed in multiple closings with the last occurring in the fourth quarter of 2024. A one-time gain of $450 million from the Discover Student Loan Sale was reflected in Discovers historical financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of income for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and the year ended December 31, 2024 combine the historical results of Capital One and Discover, giving effect to the mergers (including the issuance of shares of Capital One common stock and new Capital One preferred stock in the mergers) and the Discover Student Loan Sale, excluding the one-time gain resulting from the Discover Student Loan Sale, as if those transactions had occurred on January 1, 2024, the first day of Capital Ones fiscal year 2024. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of March 31, 2025 combines the historical consolidated balance sheets of Capital One and Discover as of March 31, 2025, giving effect to the mergers (including the issuance of shares of Capital One common stock and new Capital One preferred stock in the mergers) as if the mergers had occurred on March 31, 2025.
Following the completion of the mergers, the Company sold approximately $10 billion of acquired debt securities (classified as Securities available for sale on the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet) in an effort to optimize liquidity and funding risk management objectives. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet and unaudited pro forma condensed income statements presented here within have not been adjusted to reflect any such completed or contemplated dispositions.
The historical consolidated financial statements of Capital One and Discover have been adjusted in the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information to give effect to pro forma events that are necessary to account for the mergers (including the issuance of shares of Capital One common stock and new Capital One preferred stock in the mergers) and the Discover Student Loan Sale, excluding the one-time impact of the Discover Student Loan Sale, in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Certain reclassifications have also been made to conform the historical financial statement presentation of Discover to that of Capital One. The unaudited pro forma adjustments are based upon available information and certain assumptions that Capital One believes are reasonable. The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not reflect the costs of any integration activities or benefits that may result from the realization of future cost savings due to operating efficiencies, or any other business changes or synergies that may result from the mergers or the Discover Student Loan Sale.
The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information should be read in conjunction with:
| | the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information; |
| | the separate historical unaudited consolidated financial statements of Capital One as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and the related notes, included in Capital Ones Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2025; |
| | the separate historical unaudited consolidated financial statements of Discover as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and the related notes, included in Discovers Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2025; |
| | the separate historical audited consolidated financial statements of Capital One as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, and the related notes, included in Capital Ones Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024; and |
| | the separate historical audited consolidated financial statements of Discover as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, and the related notes, included in Discovers Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024. |

Accounting for the Mergers
The mergers are being accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method with Capital One as the accounting acquirer in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 805 (ASC 805), Business Combinations. Under this method of accounting, the aggregate purchase consideration will be allocated to Discovers assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values at the date of completion of the mergers. The process of valuing the net assets of Discover immediately prior to the mergers, as well as evaluating accounting policies for conformity, is preliminary. Any differences between the estimated fair value of the purchase consideration and the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed will be recorded as goodwill. Accordingly, the allocation of the purchase consideration and related adjustments reflected in this unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information are preliminary and subject to revision until a final determination of fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is performed. For more information, see Note 1Basis of Presentation.
Generally, and unless indicated otherwise, financial data included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is presented in millions of U.S. Dollars and has been prepared on the basis of U.S. GAAP and Capital Ones accounting policies.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information presented is for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the financial position or results of operations that would have been realized if the mergers (including the issuance of shares of Capital One common stock and new Capital One preferred stock in the mergers) and the Discover Student Loan Sale had been completed on the dates set forth above, nor is it indicative of the future results or financial position of Capital One following the mergers and the Discover Student Loan Sale. The pro forma adjustments are preliminary and are subject to change as additional information becomes available and as additional analysis is performed. To the extent information was publicly available, such preliminary fair value estimates were corroborated against readily available information, inclusive of fair value marks disclosed on comparable portfolios of financial assets and liabilities. The preliminary pro forma adjustments have been made solely for the purpose of providing the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Note 1 Basis of Presentation
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and related notes are prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X.
As discussed in Note 2, certain reclassifications were made to align Discovers historical financial statement presentation with that of Capital One. Capital One is currently in the process of evaluating Discovers accounting policies with the information currently available and has determined that no significant adjustments are necessary to conform Discovers financial statements to the accounting policies used by Capital One. Therefore, the only changes noted herein are those related to presentation. As a result of this ongoing review and as more information becomes available, additional differences could be identified between the accounting policies of the two companies until finalized.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information relating to the mergers was prepared using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, with Capital One as the accounting acquirer, using the fair value concepts defined in ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, and based on the historical financial statements of Capital One and Discover. Under ASC 805, assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination are generally recognized and measured at their fair values as of the acquisition date, while transaction costs associated with the business combination incurred by Capital One are expensed as incurred. The excess of purchase consideration over the estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, if any, is recognized as goodwill. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information also reflects the removal of the Discover student loans portfolio and related activity consistent with the terms of the Discover Student Loan Sale.
The allocation of the aggregate purchase consideration depends upon certain estimates and assumptions, all of which are preliminary. As of May 22, 2025, Capital One has not completed the valuation analysis and calculations in sufficient detail necessary to arrive at the required estimates of the fair market value of Discovers assets acquired or liabilities assumed, other than a preliminary estimate for intangible assets and certain financial assets and financial liabilities. Accordingly, apart from the aforementioned, certain Discover assets acquired and liabilities assumed are presented at their respective carrying amounts and should therefore be treated as preliminary. A final determination of the fair value of Discovers assets and liabilities will be based on Discovers actual assets and liabilities as of the closing date of the mergers. The allocation of the aggregate purchase consideration has been made for the purpose of developing the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. The final determination of fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed relating to the mergers could differ materially from the preliminary estimate of the values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The final valuation will be based on the actual assets acquired, including net tangible and intangible assets of Discover existing at the acquisition date, and liabilities assumed.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of March 31, 2025, is presented as if Capital Ones acquisition of Discover had occurred on March 31, 2025 and combines the historical balance sheet of Capital One as of March 31, 2025, with the historical balance sheet of Discover as of March 31, 2025. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of income for the three months ended March 31, and the year ended December 31, 2024 have been prepared as if the mergers and the Discover Student Loan Sale, excluding the one-time impact of the Discover Student Loan Sale, had occurred on January 1, 2024 and combines Capital Ones historical statements of income for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and the year ended December 31, 2024 with Discovers historical statements of income for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and the year ended December 31, 2024, as adjusted for the Discover Student Loan Sale.
As noted previously, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not reflect any anticipated synergies or dis-synergies, operating efficiencies or cost savings that may result from the mergers or the Discover Student Loan Sale or any acquisition and integration costs that may be incurred. The pro forma adjustments represent managements best estimates and are based upon currently available information and certain assumptions that Capital One believes are reasonable under the circumstances. There are no material transactions between Capital One and Discover during the period presented. Accordingly, no adjustments are necessary to eliminate any such transactions.

Note 2 Conforming Accounting Policies and Reclassification Adjustments
During the preparation of this unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information, Capital One performed a preliminary analysis of Discovers financial information to identify differences in accounting policies as compared to those of Capital One and differences in financial statement presentation as compared to the presentation of Capital One. With the information currently available, Capital One is not aware of any differences in accounting policies that would have a material impact on the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. However, certain reclassification adjustments have been made to conform Discovers historical financial statement presentation to Capital Ones historical financial statement presentation. As more information becomes available, Capital One will finalize the review of accounting policies and financial statement presentation, which could be materially different from the amounts set forth in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information presented herein.
| A. | The following items represent certain reclassification adjustments to conform Discovers Historical Consolidated Balance Sheet presentation to Capital Ones Historical Consolidated Balance Sheet presentation, which have no impact on net assets and are summarized below (in millions): |

| ii. | Exchange ratio pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement. |
| iii. | Estimated number of shares of Capital One treasury stock issued in the mergers excludes cash in lieu of fractional shares of Capital One treasury stock payable to holders of Discover common stock. |
| iv. | In connection with the mergers, the Discover series C preferred stock and the Discover series D preferred stock were converted into the right to receive new Capital One preferred stock. The Company evaluated the share price of the preferred stock immediately prior to close and determined that it did not materially differ from the current carrying value. |
13
The preliminary purchase consideration paid by Capital One in shares of Capital One common stock and new Capital One preferred stock upon the consummation of the mergers was determined based on the closing price of Capital One common stock and new Capital One preferred stock on the closing date and the number of issued and outstanding shares of Discover common stock and Discover preferred stock immediately prior to the closing. Any change in control payments with a dual trigger requires both a change in control and a qualifying termination event to occur. Based on the preliminary analysis and public information available, Capital One believes the impact of the replacement stock compensation awards and change in control payments are immaterial to the total estimated preliminary purchase consideration and therefore no adjustment is considered in the above calculation. The final purchase consideration may differ from the amounts reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information, and these differences may be material.
Preliminary allocation of purchase consideration
The assumed accounting for the mergers, including the preliminary purchase consideration, is based on provisional amounts as the associated purchase accounting has not yet been completed. The preliminary allocation of the purchase consideration to the acquired assets and assumed liabilities was based upon preliminary estimates of fair value. The final determination of the estimated fair values, the assets useful lives, and the amortization methods are dependent upon certain valuations and other analyses that have not yet been completed. Actual results may differ materially from the assumptions within the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. The unaudited pro forma adjustments are based upon available information and certain assumptions that Capital One believes are reasonable under the circumstances. The purchase consideration adjustments relating to the Discover and Capital One combined financial information are preliminary and subject to change, as additional information becomes available and as additional analyses are performed.

Note 4 Discover Student Loan Sale Adjustments to the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statement of Income
The following pro forma adjustments have been included in the Discover Student Loan Sale Transaction Accounting Adjustments columns to give effect as if the Discover Student Loan Sale, excluding the one-time impact of the Discover Student Loan Sale, had been completed on January 1, 2024 in the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2024. Certain adjustments are based on available information and certain preliminary assumptions that Capital One believes are reasonable under the circumstances.
(a) Represents an adjustment of $(800) million for the year ended December 31, 2024, to Interest income as a result of the Discover Student Loan Sale.
(b) Represents an adjustment of $(53) million, excluding the one-time impact from the reclassification from Unsecuritized loans held for investment to Loans held for sale of $823 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 to Provision for credit losses as a result of the Discover Student Loan Sale.
(c) Represents an adjustment to record the estimated income tax impact from the Discover Student Loan Sale Transaction Accounting Adjustments utilizing a statutory income tax rate in effect of 24.2% for the year ended December 31, 2024. The effective tax rate of Capital One following the mergers could be significantly different (either higher or lower) depending on post-merger activities, including cash needs, the geographical mix of income and changes in tax law. Because the tax rates used for the pro forma financial information are estimated, the pro forma tax rate will likely vary from the actual effective rate in periods subsequent to completion of the mergers. Adjustments to record the estimated income tax impact of the pro forma adjustments consist of the following:

Note 5 Mergers Adjustments to the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet
The following pro forma adjustments have been reflected in the Mergers Transaction Accounting Adjustments column in the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of March 31, 2025. All adjustments are based on preliminary assumptions and valuations, which are subject to change.
(a) Represents an adjustment of $(80) million to Cash and due from banks for the payment of expected one-time transaction costs incurred by Capital One related to the mergers for legal fees, advisory services, and accounting and other professional fees.
(b) Represents an adjustment of $(20) million to Securities available for sale to reflect the estimated fair value of residential mortgage-backed securities which are classified as held-to-maturity by Discover. The fair value estimate was prepared in a manner consistent with both Discovers most recent unaudited financial statements and Capital Ones internal fair value measurements for similar instruments. Detailed valuations have not been performed and, accordingly, the fair value adjustment reflects preliminary estimates made by Capital One and is subject to change once further analyses are performed and as additional information becomes available. Following the completion of the mergers, the Company sold approximately $10 billion of acquired debt securities in an effort to optimize liquidity and funding risk management objectives. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet and unaudited pro forma condensed income statements presented here within have not been adjusted to reflect any such completed or contemplated dispositions.
(c) Represents adjustments to Unsecuritized loans held for investment consisting of the following:
| (in millions) |

|
|
|
|||
| Net change to Allowance for credit losses resulting from the mergers |
$ | | ||
Contractual rights to collect on loans previously charged off by Discover are considered within the scope of the PCD accounting model. Accordingly, the establishment of the Allowance for credit losses for PCD loans estimated lifetime losses includes the beneficial impact of recoveries on these loans previously charged off. This benefit has been preliminarily estimated to be of comparable size to the estimated credit losses for PCD loans. Accordingly, the estimate of the Allowance for credit losses for acquired PCD loans includes the offsetting impact of recoveries on these previously charged off loans. For purposes of this pro forma presentation, the non-PCD loan portfolio was estimated to have a weighted-average life of 3 years. Detailed valuations have not been performed and, accordingly, these adjustments reflect preliminary estimates made by Capital One that are subject to change once further analyses are performed and as additional information becomes available.
(f) Represents an adjustment to reflect the goodwill that would have been recorded if the mergers occurred on March 31, 2025:

| (i) | The fair values for identifiable intangible assets are estimated using a market participant approach. The amount of intangibles following the mergers may differ significantly based upon the final assigned fair value of each identifiable intangible asset. As the preliminary estimated fair values could significantly differ from the amounts presented, a sensitivity analysis was performed to assess the impact of a hypothetical change of 10%. A 10% change in the valuation of intangible assets would cause a corresponding increase or decrease in the intangible assets by approximately $1,029 million. |
| (ii) | Represents an adjustment for the estimated tax impacts of the pro forma adjustments to deferred income taxes as a result of purchase accounting in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet by using a statutory tax rate of 24.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The total effective tax rate of Capital One following the mergers could be significantly different depending on the post-acquisition geographical mix of income and other factors. Because the tax rate used for this unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is an estimate, it will likely vary from the actual rate in periods subsequent to the completion of the mergers and those differences may be material. Components of the estimated deferred income taxes adjustment consist of the following: |

(h) Represents an adjustment of $202 million to Interest bearing deposits to reflect the estimated fair value of Time deposits. The fair value estimate was prepared in a manner consistent with both Discovers most recent unaudited financial statements and Capital Ones internal fair value measurements for similar instruments. Detailed valuations have not been performed and, accordingly, the fair value adjustment reflects preliminary estimates made by Capital One and is subject to change once further analyses are performed and as additional information becomes available.
(i) Represents an adjustment of $(14) million to Securitized debt obligations to reflect the estimated fair value of long-term borrowings owed to securitization investors. The fair value estimate was prepared in a manner consistent with both Discovers most recent unaudited financial statements and Capital Ones internal fair value measurements for similar instruments. Detailed valuations have not been performed and, accordingly, the fair value adjustment reflects preliminary estimates made by Capital One and is subject to change once further analyses are performed and as additional information becomes available.
(j) Represents an adjustment of $141 million to Senior and subordinated notes to reflect the estimated fair value of other long-term borrowings. The fair value estimate was prepared in a manner consistent with both Discovers most recent unaudited financial statements and Capital Ones internal fair value measurements for similar instruments. Detailed valuations have not been performed and, accordingly, the fair value adjustment reflects preliminary estimates made by Capital One and is subject to change once further analyses are performed and as additional information becomes available.
(k) Represents adjustment of $(19) million to Other liabilities to reflect the estimated tax impact of the transaction costs in connection with the mergers described in Note 5 (a). The estimated tax impact was calculated by using a statutory tax rate of 24.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The actual tax benefit realized may differ based on the amount and nature of transaction costs actually incurred.
