2©2023 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 the ongoing war in Ukraine and the continuing effects of the global COVID-19 pandemic; 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 recent bankruptcy filings of Loyalty Ventures Inc. and certain of its subsidiaries. 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 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©2023 Bread Financial Second quarter 2023 financial highlights Continuing operations $952 million Revenue $64 million Income from continuing operations $1.27 Diluted EPS Year-over-year comparisons • Credit sales of $7.1 billion decreased 13%, reflecting the sale of the BJ's Wholesale Club portfolio in late February 2023, credit tightening, and moderating consumer spending, partially offset by new partner growth. • Second quarter average loans of $17.7 billion grew 4%, driven by the addition of new partners as well as further moderation in the consumer payment rate, partially offset by the sale of the BJ's portfolio. • Revenue increased $59 million, or 7%, resulting from higher average credit card and other loan balances and non-interest income partially offset by increased reversals of interest and fees resulting from higher gross losses. • Income from continuing operations increased $52 million. • Net loss rate in the quarter was impacted by the transition of our credit card processing services in June 2022, as expected. Note: Continuing operations excludes amounts associated with our former LoyaltyOne segment and our former Epsilon segment which previously have been disclosed as discontinued operations and are classified as discontinued operations in 2Q23.

13©2023 Bread Financial Full year 2022 actuals Full year 2023 outlook Commentary Average loans $17,768 million Up low- to mid- single digits • Updated based on our new and renewed brand partner announcements, visibility into our pipeline, moderation in consumer spending, strategic credit management actions, and the current economic outlook. Revenue $3,826 million Slightly above loan growth • Net interest margin is expected to remain similar to the 2022 full year rate of 19.2%. • Revenue guidance excludes the gain on portfolio sale. Total non-interest expenses $1,932 million Positive operating leverage • We will continue to strategically invest in technology modernization, marketing, and product innovation to drive growth and efficiencies. • With the magnitude of the gain on portfolio sale, we are investing $30 million of the gain in 2023 to accelerate our business transformation. Excluding the gain on portfolio sale from revenue and this $30 million investment from total expenses, we expect to achieve nominal positive operating leverage for the full year. Net loss rate 5.4% Low-to-mid 7% range • Our outlook is inclusive of the impacts of customer accommodations related to the 2022 transition of our credit card processing services, moderation in consumer spending, our credit management actions, as well as continued pressure on consumers’ ability to pay due to persistent inflation. • We remain confident in our long-term guidance of a through-the-cycle average net loss rate below our historical average of 6%. 2023 financial outlook Updated to reflect slower sales growth as a result of strategic credit tightening and moderation in consumer spending
