In October, we repurchased an additional 0.4 million shares for a total of 1.0 million shares or $60 million. • Today, we announced a board-approved $200 million increase to our share repurchase authorization. • Declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.23 per common share, a 10% increase from the prior quarter. • Received credit ratings upgrade and continued positive outlook from Moody's in October. CEO COMMENTARY "Our commitment to increasing shareholder value was evident in the third quarter as we delivered $188 million of net income, grew our tangible book value per common share by 19%, and signed several new brand partners. With our CET1 ratio at the top end of our targeted range of 13% to 14%, we initiated our $200 million board-authorized share repurchase program, and have repurchased a cumulative $60 million of shares through September and into October. Today, we announced a $200 million increase to our share repurchase authorization. These actions, along with our strong capital and cash flow generation, underscore our ability to execute all of our capital and growth priorities, enhancing our opportunities to deliver additional value to our shareholders. Additionally, in October we received a credit ratings upgrade and positive outlook from Moody’s recognizing the progress we have made in strengthening our financial resilience and enterprise risk management framework. "Consumer financial health remained resilient in the third quarter and credit sales increased 5% year-over-year driven by strong back-to-school shopping early in the quarter with notable improvement in apparel and beauty. Purchase frequency increased and spending trends improved across all consumer segments. We are closely monitoring changes in monetary and fiscal policies, including tariff and trade policies, and the potential downstream impacts on consumer spending and employment. Overall, our positive year-over-year credit sales trends, gradual improvement in our credit metrics, along with our continued disciplined expense management give us confidence in our outlook as we enter the final quarter of the year. "During the quarter, we signed new brand partners in our home vertical including, Bed, Bath & Beyond, Inc., Furniture First, and Raymour & Flanigan. These new partnerships enable Bread Financial to deepen our presence in the home industry and provide expanded opportunity for strategic growth going forward. We will continue to leverage our full product suite and omni-channel experience to extend category leadership in existing verticals while also expanding into new verticals. "We will continue to successfully execute our strategic objectives and 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

Bread Financial | October 23, 2025 2 "Our third quarter results underscore the financial resilience and strong return profile of our business model, with tangible book value per common share increasing to over $56, up nearly $9, or 19%, from a year ago. Adjusted income from continuing operations, a non-GAAP financial measure, improved $97 million versus a year ago, driven primarily by 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 $5 million, or 1% year-over year as a result of our ongoing efforts to implement operational excellence. "Net interest margin improved sequentially, following seasonal loan yield trends, and remained flat year-over-year at 18.8%. Our net interest margin continues to be 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 continued improvement in payment and delinquency rate trends, we anticipate lower billed late fees for the remainder of the year, modestly pressuring our full year revenue and net interest margin. "We continued to strengthen and optimize our balance sheet in the third quarter by completing a $31 million tender offer for our senior and subordinated notes, reducing higher cost parent-level debt with cash on hand. Additionally, in October, we were pleased to have earned a positive outlook and ratings upgrade from Moody's to Ba2. Our CET1 ratio improved to 14.0% from 13.0% in the second quarter of 2025 driven by strong net earnings generation. Direct-to- consumer deposits increased 9% year-over-year to $8.2 billion at quarter-end; our average direct-to-consumer deposits now represent 47% of total funding, up from 41% a year ago. Further, we repurchased $40 million in shares in September and an additional $20 million in shares in October, as part of the $200 million share repurchase authorization announced at the end of August. Considering today's $200 million authorization increase, with the repurchases made in September and October, we currently have $340 million of total remaining share repurchase authorization. "Our ongoing disciplined credit risk management and product diversification continues to benefit our credit metrics. However, macroeconomic uncertainty persists with inflation above the Fed's target rate, trade and government policies evolving, and low consumer sentiment continuing. We remain vigilant with our credit strategies and anticipate a continued gradual improvement. "The third quarter reserve rate of 11.7% at quarter-end, down 20 basis points from the second quarter, reflects our improving credit metrics and higher-quality new account acquisitions. Moreover, we maintained 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 our 2025 financial targets and to 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 slowing, yet 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: "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 positive operating leverage in 2025, excluding any gain on portfolio sale and the pretax impacts from our repurchased debt, including convertible, senior, and subordinated notes. • Net loss rate: "We anticipate a 2025 net loss rate in the range of 7.8% to 7.9%. • Effective tax rate: "We now expect our full year effective tax rate to be in the range of 19% to 20% due to larger discrete items in 2025, with quarter-over-quarter variability due to the timing of certain discrete items."

Bread Financial | October 23, 2025 4 Third quarter 2025 compared with third quarter 2024 – continuing operations • Credit sales were $6.8 billion for the third quarter of 2025, an increase of $0.3 billion, or 5%, driven by new partner growth and increased general-purpose spending. • Average and end-of-period credit card and other loans were $17.6 billion, down 1%, and $17.7 billion, down 2%, respectively, due to an increasing payment rate and the ongoing effect of elevated gross losses. • Revenue decreased $12 million, or 1%, primarily due to lower billed late fees resulting from lower delinquencies, higher retailer share arrangements, and a $4 million gain on portfolio sale in the prior year, partially offset by lower interest expense and the implementation of pricing changes and paper statement fees. • Total non-interest expenses decreased $98 million, or 17%, driven by the prior year impact from repurchased debt. Excluding the impacts from our repurchased debt, adjusted total non-interest expenses, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, decreased $5 million, or 1%, driven by our continued operational excellence initiatives. • Income from continuing operations increased $185 million, reflecting the prior year impact of $91 million from our repurchased debt, and the current year impacts from a lower provision for credit losses, and a $38 million favorable discrete tax item. Excluding the impacts from our repurchased debt, adjusted income from continuing operations, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, increased $97 million, or 104%. • Adjusted PPNR, a Non-GAAP financial measure which excludes any gain on portfolio sale and impacts from repurchased debt, decreased $3 million, nearly flat compared to the prior year. • The delinquency rate of 6.0% decreased from 6.4% in the third quarter of 2024. • The net loss rate of 7.4% decreased from 7.8% in the third quarter of 2024. • CET1 ratio of 14.0% increased from 13.3% in the third quarter of 2024, driven by strong net earnings, partially offset by 146 basis points for share repurchases and common dividends, 30 basis points related to repurchased debt, and 73 basis points for the last CECL phase-in in the first quarter of 2025.

Bread Financial | October 23, 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 have previously repurchased and may, from time to time, in the future continue to repurchase debt, including our 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 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 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 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”.

(2) Return on average equity represents annualized Income from continuing operations divided by average Total stockholders’ equity. (3) 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. ROTCE is a Non-GAAP financial measure. (4) Net interest margin represents annualized Net interest income divided by average Total interest-earning assets. (5) Loan yield represents annualized Interest and fees on loans divided by Average credit card and other loans. (6) 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 repurchased debt. (7) Common equity tier 1 capital ratio represents tier 1 capital 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, primarily by Goodwill and intangible assets, net. (8) Tangible book value per common share represents TCE divided by shares outstanding and is a Non-GAAP financial measure. (9) 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.
