2©2024 Bread Financial Forward-looking statements This release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements give our expectations or forecasts of future events and can generally be identified by the use of words such as “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “project,” “plan,” “likely,” “may,” “should” or other words or phrases of similar import. Similarly, statements that describe our business strategy, outlook, objectives, plans, intentions or goals also are forward-looking statements. Examples of forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements we make regarding, and the guidance we give with respect to, our anticipated operating or financial results, future financial performance and outlook, future dividend declarations, and future economic conditions. We believe that our expectations are based on reasonable assumptions. Forward-looking statements, however, are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict and, in many cases, beyond our control. Accordingly, our actual results could differ materially from the projections, anticipated results or other expectations expressed in this release, and no assurances can be given that our expectations will prove to have been correct. Factors that could cause the outcomes to differ materially include, but are not limited to, the following: macroeconomic conditions, including market conditions, inflation, rising interest rates, unemployment levels and the increased probability of a recession, and the related impact on consumer payment rates, savings rates and other behavior; global political and public health events and conditions, including ongoing wars and military conflicts; 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 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 liability, disputes or other adverse impacts arising out of or relating to the spinoff of our former LoyaltyOne segment or the bankruptcy filings of Loyalty Ventures Inc. and certain of its subsidiaries. In addition, the CFPB recently issued a final rule that, absent a successful legal challenge, will place significant limits on credit card late fees, which would have a significant impact on our business and results of operations for at least the short term and, depending on the effectiveness of the mitigating actions that we may take in response to the final rule, potentially over the long term; we cannot provide any assurance as to the effective date of the rule, the result of any pending or future challenges or other litigation relating to the rule, or our ability to mitigate or offset the impact of the rule on our business and results of operations. The foregoing factors, along with other risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in forward-looking statements, are described in greater detail under the headings “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10- K for the most recently ended fiscal year, which may be updated in Item 1A of, or elsewhere in, our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed for periods subsequent to such Form 10-K. Our forward-looking statements speak only as of the date made, and we undertake no obligation, other than as required by applicable law, to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, subsequent events, anticipated or unanticipated circumstances or otherwise. Non-GAAP financial measures We prepare our audited 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) is calculated by increasing/decreasing Income from continuing operations before income taxes by the net provision/release in Provision for credit losses. PPNR less gain on portfolio sales then decreases PPNR by the gain on any portfolio sales in the period. We use PPNR and PPNR less gain on portfolio sales 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. Tangible common equity over Tangible assets (TCE/TA) represents Total stockholders’ equity reduced by Goodwill and intangible assets, net, (TCE) divided by Tangible assets (TA), which is Total assets reduced by Goodwill and intangible assets, net. We use TCE/TA as a metric to evaluate the Company’s capital adequacy and estimate its ability to cover potential losses. Tangible book value per common share represents TCE divided by shares outstanding. We use Tangible book value per common share as a metric to estimate the Company’s potential 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”.

6©2024 Bread Financial First quarter 2024 financial highlights Continuing operations $1.0 billion Revenue $135 million Income from continuing operations $2.73 Diluted EPS Year-over-year comparisons • Credit sales of $6.0 billion decreased 18%, reflecting the sale of the BJ's Wholesale Club portfolio in late February 2023, ongoing strategic credit tightening, and moderating consumer spending, partially offset by new partner growth. • Average loans of $18.5 billion decreased 4% year-over-year driven by the decline in credit sales and contributing factors noted above. • Revenue decreased $298 million, or 23%, driven by the benefit from the BJ's gain on sale in the prior year, lower net late fee revenue, and higher interest expense. • Income from continuing operations decreased by $320 million, or 70%, as the prior year benefited from the BJ's gain on sale and related reserve release. • The delinquency rate of 6.2% increased from 5.7% in the first quarter of 2023 and decreased 30 basis points sequentially. • The net loss rate of 8.5% increased from 7.0% in the first quarter of 2023 and increased 50 basis points sequentially. Notes: Continuing operations excludes amounts associated with our former LoyaltyOne segment and our former Epsilon segment which previously have been disclosed as discontinued operations and classified accordingly. As well, beginning in 2024, we revised the calculation of average balances to more closely align with industry practice by incorporating an average daily balance. Prior to 2024, average balances represent the average balance at the beginning and end of each month, averaged over the periods indicated.

11©2024 Bread Financial 2024 financial outlook Our outlook now includes the forecasted impacts of the CFPB late fee rule and assumes a May 14th effective date* * The CFPB's final late fee rule is currently slated to become effective May 14, 2024. A lawsuit has been filed challenging the rule and seeking an injunction of the rule's effectiveness during the pendency of the litigation, but we can provide no assurance regarding the outcome of this or any other litigation relating to the rule. See "Forward-Looking Statements" included elsewhere in this presentation." Full year 2023 actuals Full year 2024 outlook Commentary Average loans 2023: $18,216 million Down low-single digits • Based on our current economic outlook, CFPB late fee rule impacts, ongoing strategic credit tightening actions, higher gross credit losses, and visibility into our pipeline, we expect 2024 average credit card and other loans to be down low-single digits relative to 2023. Revenue (excl. Gain on sale) 2023: $4,059 million Down mid- to high-teens • Revenue, excluding gains on portfolio sales, is anticipated to be down in the mid- to high-teen range as a result of the impact of the CFPB late fee rule, net of mitigation actions, as well as previously disclosed higher reversals of interest and fees due to expected higher gross credit losses, lower merchant discount fees, a continued shift in product mix, and projected interest rate reductions by the Federal Reserve. • The CFPB late fee rule is expected to reduce fourth quarter total revenue in the mid-teen range on an isolated basis relative to the fourth quarter of 2023, net of mitigation actions. This reflects an improvement from our previously disclosed estimated impact. We continue to expect the financial impact of the late fee rule will lessen over time as our mitigation actions mature. Total non-interest expenses 2023: $2,092 million Down low- to mid- single digits • We continue to strategically invest in technology modernization, marketing, and product innovation to drive growth and efficiencies. Net loss rate 2023: 7.5% Low 8% range • Our outlook is inclusive of continued inflationary pressure on consumers’ ability to pay, our credit management actions, CFPB late fee rule impacts, and expected slower loan growth.
