Bread Financial | April 24, 2025 1 "In the first quarter, we continued to demonstrate our financial resilience with net income of $138 million and by increasing our tangible book value per common share to $48.92. We advanced our ongoing efforts to optimize our capital structure and strengthen our balance sheet with the successful execution of a $400 million subordinated notes offering during the first quarter, increasing tier 2 capital, and the recent completion of our $150 million board-authorized share repurchase program. These actions and the strong capital and cash flow generation of our business create additional capital flexibility and opportunities to deliver further value to our shareholders. "For the first quarter, credit sales grew 1% year-over-year, driven by higher general-purpose spending and overall transaction volume, as consumers are likely advancing purchases ahead of potential price increases, along with lower gas prices helping to bolster their discretionary purchasing power. The risk of disruption to the economy continues to grow as evidenced by the uncertainty reflected in lower consumer and small business confidence and sentiment. While our industry will benefit from the CFPB's late fee rule having been vacated, as well as from a reduced regulatory environment, risks associated with tariffs, trade policies, and inflation may adversely impact consumer strength. We will continue to monitor economic and consumer financial health closely and remain disciplined with our credit risk management. "We are pleased with our new partner signings in the quarter, including today's card program announcement with Crypto.com, further diversifying our industry verticals. We also renewed multiple brand partners, including extending our long-term agreement with Academy Sports where we offer both our card and Bread Pay products. "Looking ahead, we remain focused on responsible growth, disciplined capital allocation, and continued execution on our operational excellence efforts, while maintaining flexibility to adapt to changing fiscal and monetary policies, and the regulatory landscape. We are well-positioned to generate additional capital, deliver strong returns, and create sustainable, long-term value for our shareholders." - Ralph Andretta, president and chief executive officer Bread Financial reports first quarter 2025 results COLUMBUS, Ohio, April 24, 2025 – 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 first quarter ended March 31, 2025.

Subsequently, in April we repurchased an additional 1.1 million shares for a total of 3.2 million shares, completing our board-authorized share repurchase program of $150 million. Exhibit 99.1

Bread Financial | April 24, 2025 2 "Our first quarter results reflect our resilient business model, strategic credit tightening actions, and ability to deliver solid results despite a challenging macroeconomic environment. During the quarter, credit sales grew 1% as consumer financial health remained relatively steady, reflected in our improving credit metrics. Income from continuing operations increased 5% as expenses decreased 1% year-over-year, driven by our enterprise- wide focus on driving operational excellence. "Net interest margin improved sequentially to 18.1% following the seasonal trend of decreasing transactor balances from fourth quarter holiday spending. Net interest margin trends continue to be impacted by a lower average prime rate, a shift in mix toward co-brand products, and lower billed late fees, partially offset by our implementation of pricing changes. "This quarter we continued to strengthen and optimize our balance sheet. We completed a $400 million subordinated notes offering, increasing our total risk-based capital ratio to 15.5%. In addition, in March we commenced our $150 million board-authorized share repurchase program, completing the program in April with 3.2 million total shares repurchased. We also repurchased $7 million in principal value of our convertible notes, leaving only $3 million remaining. Direct-to-consumer deposits increased 13% year-over- year to $7.9 billion at quarter-end. Our average direct-to- consumer deposits now represent 43% of total funding, up from 36% a year ago and approaching our targeted threshold of over 50%. "In the first quarter of 2025, the net loss rate was at the lower end of our expectations, as we have started to observe favorable trends in our later-stage roll rates. As previously mentioned, the hurricane-related customer-friendly actions we took in October and November of 2024 are estimated to negatively impact second quarter of 2025 losses by approximately $13 million. Given the current macroeconomic uncertainty, we remain vigilant around our credit strategies, yet we remain cautiously optimistic for a gradual improvement in credit performance during the second half of 2025. "Our improving credit results, partially offset by weaker economic scenarios, resulted in a reserve rate of 12.2% as of quarter-end 2025, a slight improvement year-over-year and in line with the third quarter of 2024. We continue to maintain prudent weightings on the economic scenarios in our credit reserve modeling given the wide range of potential macroeconomic outcomes. "We are proud of the progress we have made to enhance our balance sheet and are confident in our ability to achieve solid financial results in 2025." - Perry Beberman, executive vice president and chief financial officer 2025 full year outlook "Our 2025 outlook assumed no late fee reduction related to the CFPB late fee rule, which has recently been vacated by a U.S. District Court. • "Our 2025 outlook has been adjusted from our original 2025 guidance to reflect slower expected retail sales growth, slightly higher inflation, but still generally healthy labor markets. With the greater anticipated economic uncertainty, we are prepared for a wide range of scenarios. Our outlook also assumes interest rate decreases by the Federal Reserve, which will pressure total net interest income. • Average loan growth: "Based on an updated range of economic scenarios and expected impacts on consumer spending, our strategic credit tightening actions, elevated gross credit losses, and visibility into our pipeline and existing partners, we now expect 2025 average credit card and other loans to be flat to slightly down versus full year 2024. • Total revenue: "Total revenue growth, excluding gains on portfolio sales, is anticipated to be flat to slightly up after adjusting for our updated loan guidance, as a result of implemented pricing changes, partially offset by interest rate reductions by the Federal Reserve, lower billed late fees, and a continued shift in risk and product mix. • Total expenses: "As a result of efficiencies gained from ongoing operational excellence initiatives, along with disciplined expense management and prudent investments, we expect to generate nominal positive operating leverage in 2025, excluding gains on portfolio sales and the pretax impacts from our repurchased convertible notes. • Net loss rate: "We continue to anticipate a net loss rate in the 8.0% to 8.2% range for 2025. • Effective tax rate: "We continue to expect our full year normalized effective tax rate to be in the range of 25% to 26%, with quarter-over- quarter variability due to the timing of certain discrete items."

Bread Financial | April 24, 2025 4 First quarter 2025 compared with first quarter 2024 – continuing operations • Credit sales were $6.1 billion for the first quarter of 2025, an increase of $0.1 billion, or 1%, driven by increased general-purpose spending. • Average and end-of-period credit card and other loans were $18.2 billion and $17.8 billion, respectively, both down 2%, primarily due to the macroeconomic environment throughout 2024 driving lower consumer spending, higher gross losses, and tighter underwriting standards. • Revenue decreased $21 million, or 2%, primarily due to lower finance charges and late fees resulting from a lower average prime rate, lower delinquencies, and our gradual shift in risk and product mix leading to a lower proportion of private label accounts. • Total non-interest expenses decreased $5 million, or 1%, primarily driven by a $15 million decrease in other expenses, which includes prior year debt extinguishment costs, and a $4 million decrease in card and processing expenses, partially offset by a $7 million increase in information processing and communication expenses and a $7 million increase in marketing expenses. • Income from continuing operations increased $7 million, or 5%, primarily due to a lower provision for credit losses and lower total non-interest expenses, partially offset by a decrease in finance charges and late fees. • PPNR, a Non-GAAP financial measure, decreased $16 million, or 3%, primarily due to lower net interest income. • The delinquency rate of 5.9% decreased from 6.2% in the first quarter of 2024. • The net loss rate of 8.2% decreased from 8.5% in the first quarter of 2024. • CET1 ratio of 12.0% decreased from 12.6% in the first quarter of 2024, negatively impacted by approximately 100 basis points related to convertible notes repurchases, approximately 80 basis points for share repurchases, and approximately 70 basis points for the last CECL phase-in, partially offset by net earnings. • Total risk-based capital of 15.5% increased from 14.0% in the first quarter of 2024, benefiting from our $400 million subordinated notes offering which increased our tier 2 capital.

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 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 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 federal and state 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 or other liability or adverse impacts arising out of or related to the spinoff of our former LoyaltyOne segment or the bankruptcy filings of Loyalty Ventures Inc.

Bread Financial | April 24, 2025 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: • Pretax pre-provision earnings (PPNR) represents Income from continuing operations before income taxes and the Provision for credit losses. We use PPNR as a metric to evaluate our results of operations before income taxes, excluding the volatility that can occur within Provision for credit losses. • 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 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 liquidation value. 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”.
