1   Tangible Common Equity ("TCE") is a non-GAAP measure. The Company believes TCE is a more meaningful measure to investors of the net asset value of the Company. For corresponding reconciliation of TCE to a GAAP financial measure see Reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP Data schedule
2 As of January 1, 2015 regulatory capital ratios are calculated under Basel III rules subject to transition provisions. The Company reported under Basel I at December 31, 2014 and September 30, 2014
3 Tier 1 Common Capital Ratio (under Basel I) is calculated using tier 1 common capital, a non-GAAP measure. The Company believes the tier 1 common capital ratio is meaningful to investors to assess the quality and composition of the Company’s capital. For corresponding reconciliation of tier 1 common capital to a GAAP financial measure see Reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP Data schedule
4 Common Equity Tier 1 Capital Ratio (Basel III fully phased-in) is calculated using Basel III fully phased-in common equity tier 1 capital, a non-GAAP measure. The Company believes that the common equity tier 1 capital ratio based on fully phased-in Basel III rules is an important complement to the existing capital ratios and for comparability to other financial institutions. For the corresponding reconciliation of common equity tier 1 capital and risk weighted assets calculated under fully phased-in Basel III rules to common equity tier 1 capital and risk weighted assets calculated under Basel III transition rules see the Reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP data schedule
5 Fixed charges are the sum of interest expense, amortized premiums, discounts and capitalized expenses related to indebtedness and an estimate of interest within rental expense

1 Total Loans includes mortgages and other loans
2 Purchased Credit Impaired ("PCI") loans are loans that were acquired in which a deterioration in credit quality occurred between the origination date and the acquisition date. These loans were initially recorded at fair value and accrete interest income over the estimated lives of the loans as long as cash flows are reasonably estimable, even if the loans are contractually past due. PCI loans are private student loans and are included in total loan receivables
3 Excludes PCI loans (described above) which are accounted for on a pooled basis. Since a pool is accounted for as a single asset with a single composite interest rate and aggregate expectation of cash flows, the past-due status of a pool, or that of the individual loans within a pool, is not meaningful. Because the Company is recognizing interest income on a pool of loans, it is all considered to be performing
4 During the first quarter of 2015, a payment processing change was implemented which had the effect of contributing favorably to the delinquencies of certain accounts. These changes partially contributed to the decline in the delinquency rate

GLOSSARY OF FINANCIAL TERMS

Book Value per share represents total equity divided by ending common shares outstanding

Common Equity Tier 1 Capital Ratio (Basel III transition) represents common equity tier 1 capital divided by risk weighted assets calculated under Basel III rules subject to transition provisions

Common Equity Tier 1 Capital Ratio (Basel III fully phased-in) represents fully phased-in common equity tier 1 capital divided by risk weighted assets under fully phased-in Basel III rules. The Common Equity Tier 1 Capital Ratio (Basel III fully phased-in) is calculated using Basel III fully phased-in common equity tier 1 capital, a non-GAAP measure. The Company believes that the common equity tier 1 capital ratio based on fully phased-in Basel III rules is an important complement to the existing capital ratios and for comparability to other financial institutions. For the corresponding reconciliation of common equity tier 1 capital and risk weighted assets calculated under fully phased-in Basel III rules to common equity tier 1 capital and risk weighted assets calculated under Basel III transition rules see the Reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP data schedule

Delinquency Rate (Over 30 Days) represents loans delinquent over thirty days divided by ending loans (total or respective loans, as appropriate)

Delinquency Rate (Over 90 Days) represents loans delinquent over ninety days divided by ending loans (total or respective loans, as appropriate)

Effective Tax Rate represents tax expense divided by income before income taxes

Gross Principal Charge-off Rate represents gross principal charge-off dollars (annualized) divided by average loans for the reporting period

Interest Yield represents interest income on loan receivables (annualized) divided by average loans for the reporting period

Liquidity Portfolio represents cash and cash equivalents (excluding cash-in-process) and other investments

Net Income Allocated to Common Stockholders represents net income less (i) dividends and accretion of discount on shares of preferred stock and (ii) income allocated to participating securities

Proprietary Network Volume represents gross proprietary sales volume on the Discover Network

Ratio of Earnings to Fixed Charges represents income before income tax expense and fixed charges divided by fixed charges for the reporting period. Fixed charges are the sum of interest expense, amortized premiums, discounts and capitalized expenses related to indebtedness and an estimate of interest within rental expense for the reporting period

Regulatory Capital Ratios are regulatory measures used to evaluate capital adequacy. Under Basel I, to be considered "well-capitalized," total risk-based, tier 1 risk-based, and tier 1 leverage ratios of 10%, 6% and 5% respectively must be maintained. Under Basel III, to be considered "well-capitalized," total risk-based, tier 1 risk-based, tier 1 leverage, and common equity tier 1 ratios of 10%, 8%, 5%, and 6.5% respectively must be maintained. As of January 1, 2015 regulatory capital ratios are calculated under Basel III rules subject to transition provisions. Prior to January 1, 2015 regulatory capital ratios are calculated under Basel I. Total Risk Based Capital Ratio represents total capital divided by risk-weighted assets. Tier 1 Capital Ratio represents tier 1 capital divided by risk-weighted assets. Tier 1 Leverage Ratio represents tier 1 capital divided by average total assets. The Tier 1 Common Capital Ratio has been replaced by the Common Equity Tier 1 Ratio under Basel III. Tier 1 Common Capital Ratio calculated under Basel I represents tier 1 common capital, a non-GAAP measure, divided by risk-weighted assets. For corresponding reconciliation of tier 1 common capital (Basel I) to a GAAP financial measure, see Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Data schedule

Reserve Rate represents the allowance for loan losses divided by total loans

Return on Equity represents net income (annualized) divided by average total equity for the reporting period

Rewards Rate represents rewards cost divided by Discover Card sales volume

Tangible Assets represents total assets less goodwill and intangibles

Tangible Common Equity ("TCE"), a non-GAAP financial measure, represents total common equity less goodwill and intangibles. The Company believes TCE is a more meaningful measure to investors of the net asset value of the Company. For corresponding reconciliation of TCE to a GAAP financial measure, see Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Data schedule

Tangible Common Equity/Net Loans,a non-GAAP measure,represents total common equity less goodwill and intangibles divided by total loans less the allowance for loan loss (period end)

Tangible Common Equity per Share,a non-GAAP measure,represents total common equity less goodwill and intangibles divided by ending common shares outstanding

Tangible Common Equity/Tangible Assets, a non-GAAP measure,represents total common equity less goodwill and intangibles divided by total assets less goodwill and intangibles

1 Tangible common equity ("TCE"), a non-GAAP financial measure, represents common equity less goodwill and intangibles. A reconciliation of TCE to common equity, a GAAP financial measure, is shown above. Other financial services companies may also use TCE and definitions may vary, so users of this information are advised to exercise caution in comparing TCE of different companies. TCE is included because management believes that common equity excluding goodwill and intangibles is a more meaningful measure to investors of the true net asset value of the Company
2 Tier 1 common capital (under Basel I), a non-GAAP financial measure, represents common equity and the effect of certain items in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) excluded from tier 1 common capital, less goodwill and intangibles. A reconciliation of tier 1 common capital to common equity, a GAAP financial measure, is shown above. Other financial services companies may also use tier 1 common capital and definitions may vary, so users of this information are advised to exercise caution in comparing tier 1 common capital of different companies. Tier 1 common capital is included to support the tier 1 common capital ratio which is meaningful to investors to assess the quality and composition of the Company’s capital
3 Adjustments related to capital components for fully phased-in Basel III include deferred tax liabilities related to intangible assets and deduction for deferred tax assets
4 Adjustments related to capital components for fully phased-in Basel III include the phase-in of the intangible asset exclusion
5 Key differences under fully phased-in Basel III rules in the calculation of risk-weighted assets include higher risk weighting for past due loans and unfunded commitments
6 As of January 1, 2015 regulatory capital ratios are calculated under Basel III rules subject to transition provisions. The Company reported under Basel I at December 31, 2014 and September 30, 2014
7 Tier 1 common capital ratio is calculated using tier 1 common capital (Basel I), a non-GAAP measure, divided by risk weighted assets (Basel I)
8 Common equity tier 1 capital ratio (Basel III fully phased-in) is calculated using common equity tier 1 capital (Basel III fully phased-in), a non-GAAP measure, divided by risk weighted assets (Basel III fully phased-in)
