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 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
3 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
4 The Ratio of Earnings to Fixed Charges is a year-to-date statistic. The periods reported reflect the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the six months ended June 30, 2016, the three months ended March 31, 2016, the twelve months ended December 31, 2015 and the nine months ended September 30, 2015

1 Total Loans includes Home Equity 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

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)

Pretax Return on Loan Receivables represents income before income taxes (annualized) divided by total average loans for the period

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

Ratio of Earnings to Fixed Charges is a year-to-date statistic and 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 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. 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

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  Adjustments related to capital components for fully phased-in Basel III include the phase-in of the intangible asset exclusion
3  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
4  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)
