(NYSE: BFH), a tech-forward financial services company that provides simple, personalized payment, lending, and saving solutions, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025. (1) Represents a Non-GAAP financial measure. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and "Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures". $17.7B 2Q25 Average loans $929MM 2Q25 Revenue 13.0% Common equity tier 1 capital ratio $52.21 Tangible book value per common share(1) Second quarter 2025 Year-to-date 2025 ($ in millions, except per share amounts) Total company Continuing operations Total company Continuing operations Net income $139 $139 $276 $280 Adjusted net income(1) $149 $149 $288 $292 Earnings per diluted share $2.94 $2.93 $5.71 $5.79 Adjusted earnings per diluted share(1) $3.15 $3.14 $5.96 $6.04 • Relative to the second quarter of 2024: • Income from continuing operations increased 4% primarily due to a lower provision for credit losses and lower income taxes. • Average loans decreased 1% due to softer consumer spending and elevated gross losses, as compared with historic trends. • Common equity tier 1 (CET1) capital ratio decreased 80 basis points to 13.0% and increased 100 basis points sequentially. • Tangible book value per common share(1) increased $3.32, or 7%, to $52.21. • Return on average tangible common equity(1) was 22.7%. • Second quarter delinquency rate was 5.7% and net loss rate was 7.9%. • Completed $150 million tender offer for our 9.75% senior notes due 2029. • Repurchased 1.1 million shares for $48 million in the second quarter. For the first half of 2025, we repurchased 3.2 million shares, completing our board-authorized share repurchase program of $150 million. "Our second quarter results reflect our steadfast commitment to advancing operational excellence, as well as responsible growth and disciplined capital allocation, which enabled us to deliver strong returns. We generated net income of $139 million and increased our tangible book value per common share by 7% in the second quarter. Our ongoing balance sheet optimization initiatives were reflected in the completion of our share repurchase program and the successful tender offer for a portion of our senior notes. These actions and the strong capital and cash flow generation of our business offer enhanced opportunities to deliver additional value to our shareholders. "Credit sales grew 4% year-over-year with limited tariff impact on consumer spending, aside from a slight pull-forward of electronics purchases in April. Spending continues to be more heavily weighted toward non-discretionary purchases, enabled by our expanded co-brand and proprietary products, which represent more than 50% of our credit sales. Additionally, lower gas prices have positively influenced retail spending, particularly for prime and near prime consumers. We are encouraged by these spending trends, as well as the gradual improvement in our credit metrics as a result of our ongoing prudent risk management. We remain balanced in our outlook and credit actions given uncertainty regarding the potential downstream impacts on consumer spending and employment from recent monetary and fiscal policies, particularly tariff and trade policies. "We are pleased to announce the multi-year extension of our long-term relationship with Caesars Entertainment, a leading travel and entertainment partner. Also, we recently launched an additional new, enhanced fee-based Caesars Rewards® Prestige Visa Signature® credit card that gives members more ways to earn accelerated rewards and enjoy unique experiences. We strive to create new ways to strengthen our existing partnerships, offering new products with enhanced value propositions to drive sales and increase cardholder engagement. "We are proud of the progress we have made in strengthening our balance sheet while providing increased value to our brand partners. We remain confident in our ability to successfully execute our strategic objectives and our operational excellence efforts, and we are well-positioned to deliver strong returns while creating sustainable, long-term value for our shareholders." - Ralph Andretta, president and chief executive officer CEO COMMENTARY Exhibit 99.1

Bread Financial | July 24, 2025 2 "Our second quarter results again underscored the financial resilience of our business model, as we continued to generate high levels of capital and cash flow, despite elevated, albeit improving, credit metrics. Consumer financial health in 2025 has remained stable as second quarter credit sales grew 4% year-over-year and credit metrics continued to gradually improve. Income from continuing operations increased 4% year-over-year, primarily due to a lower provision for credit losses and lower income taxes, with adjusted total non-interest expenses, a non-GAAP financial measure, essentially flat year-over year despite inflationary and wage pressures as a result of our focus on operational excellence. "Net interest margin declined sequentially to 17.7%, following seasonal loan yield trends, pressured by lower billed late fees from lower delinquencies and an elevated cash position, partially offset by the gradual build of implemented pricing changes. Given improving delinquency trends and our improved net loss rate outlook, we are projecting lower billed late fees for the remainder of the year, modestly pressuring our full year revenue expectation. "Our efforts to strengthen and optimize our balance sheet are ongoing. In April we completed our $150 million board-authorized share repurchase program with 3.2 million shares repurchased year-to-date, while improving our CET1 ratio to 13.0% from 12.0% in the first quarter of 2025. Additionally, in June we completed a $150 million tender offer for our 9.75% senior notes due 2029, using excess cash on hand to reduce higher cost debt. Direct-to- consumer deposits increased 12% year-over-year to $8.1 billion at quarter-end. Our average direct-to-consumer deposits now represent 45% of total funding, up from 40% a year ago and approaching our target of more than 50%. "Our credit metrics continue to benefit from our disciplined credit risk management. As previously disclosed, the hurricane-related customer-friendly actions we took in October and November of 2024 negatively impacted second quarter losses by approximately $13 million or 30 basis points. Given macroeconomic uncertainty, including potential tariff and employment impacts, we remain vigilant with our credit strategies. As a result of our better than expected credit performance during the first half of 2025, we have improved our full year 2025 net loss rate guidance. "The second quarter reserve rate of 11.9% at quarter-end reflects our improving credit metrics and higher-quality new account acquisitions. We continue to maintain prudent weightings on the economic scenarios in our credit reserve modeling given the wide range of potential macroeconomic outcomes. "We remain confident in our ability to achieve solid financial results in 2025 and deliver strong long-term returns." - Perry Beberman, executive vice president and chief financial officer 2025 full year outlook • "Our 2025 outlook reflects continued consumer resiliency, inflation remaining above the Fed target rate, and a healthy labor market. Our outlook also anticipates interest rate decreases by the Federal Reserve, which will modestly pressure total net interest income. • Average loan growth: "We expect 2025 average credit card and other loans to be flat to slightly down versus full year 2024. • Total revenue: "We anticipate total revenue, excluding any gain on portfolio sale, to be relatively flat versus full year 2024. • 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 any gain on portfolio sale and the pretax impacts from our repurchased debt, including convertible and senior notes. • Net loss rate: "We anticipate a 2025 net loss rate in the range of 7.8% to 7.9%. • Effective tax rate: "We 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 | July 24, 2025 4 Second quarter 2025 compared with second quarter 2024 – continuing operations • Credit sales were $6.8 billion for the second quarter of 2025, an increase of $0.2 billion, or 4%, driven by new partner growth and increased general-purpose spending. • Average and end-of-period credit card and other loans were both $17.7 billion, down 1% and 0.5%, respectively. As compared with historic trends, continued macroeconomic challenges drove softer consumer spending and the cumulative effect of elevated gross credit losses over the past twelve months adversely impacted loan growth. • Revenue decreased $10 million, or 1%, primarily due to lower finance charges and late fees resulting from a reduced average prime rate, lower delinquencies, and our gradual shift in risk and product mix leading to a smaller proportion of private label accounts, partially offset by lower interest expense and the implementation of pricing changes and paper statement fees. • Total non-interest expenses increased $12 million, or 3%, primarily driven by an $8 million increase in other expenses, which includes $13 million in debt extinguishment costs associated with our $150 million tender offer for our 9.75% senior notes due 2029 completed in the second quarter. • Income from continuing operations increased $6 million, or 4%, primarily due to a lower provision for credit losses and lower income taxes. • Adjusted PPNR, a Non-GAAP financial measure which excludes any gain on portfolio sale and impacts from repurchased debt, decreased $7 million, or 1%, primarily due to lower net interest income, while adjusted total non- interest expenses, a non-GAAP financial measure, remained nearly flat. • The delinquency rate of 5.7% decreased from 6.0% in the second quarter of 2024 and 5.9% in the first quarter of 2025. • The net loss rate of 7.9% decreased from 8.6% in the second quarter of 2024 and 8.2% in the first quarter of 2025. • CET1 ratio of 13.0% decreased from 13.8% in the second quarter of 2024, negatively impacted by 109 basis points related to repurchased debt, 108 basis points for share repurchases, and 74 basis points for the last CECL phase-in in the first quarter of 2025, partially offset by net earnings. The CET1 ratio increased sequentially from 12.0%. • Total risk-based capital of 16.5% increased from 15.1% in the second quarter of 2024, benefiting from net earnings and our $400 million subordinated notes offering in the first quarter of 2025 which increased our tier 2 capital. Total risk- based capital also increased sequentially from 15.5%.

Bread Financial | July 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: • We may from time to time repurchase debt, including our outstanding senior unsecured notes, subordinated notes or convertible notes. From a GAAP perspective we may pay a premium to induce these repurchases, or in certain cases repurchase at a discount, which 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. We have shown adjustments to these three financial statement line items, for total Company as well as for continuing operations, to exclude the impacts from our repurchased debt transactions. 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 repurchased debt transactions. • 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 repurchased debt then excludes from PPNR the gain on any portfolio sale in the period, as well as the loss or gain on any repurchased debt in the period. We use PPNR and PPNR excluding any gain on portfolio sale and impacts from repurchased debt as metrics to evaluate our results of operations before income taxes, excluding the volatility 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 repurchased debt. • 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”.
