FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”)
This discussion contains forward-looking statements that are based upon management’s current expectations and are subject to significant uncertainties and changes in circumstances. Please review “Forward-Looking Statements” for more information on the forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“this Report”). All statements that address operating performance, events or developments that we expect or anticipate will occur in the future are forward-looking statements. Our actual results may differ materially from those included in these forward-looking statements due to a variety of factors including, but not limited to, those described in “Part II—Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2025 (the“Q2 2025 Form 10-Q”) and in this Report. Unless otherwise specified, references to notes to our consolidated financial statements refer to the notes to our consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2025 included in this Report.
Management monitors a variety of key indicators to evaluate our business results and financial condition. The following MD&A is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction with, our consolidated financial statements and related notes in this Report and the more detailed information contained in our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K (“2024 Form 10-K”).
| INTRODUCTION | ||
Capital One Financial Corporation, a Delaware corporation established in 1994 and headquartered in McLean, Virginia, is a diversified financial services holding company with banking and non-banking subsidiaries. Capital One Financial Corporation and its subsidiaries (the “Company” or “Capital One”) offer a broad array of financial products and services to consumers, small businesses and commercial clients through digital channels, branch locations, cafés and other distribution channels.
Capital One Financial Corporation’s principal operating subsidiary was Capital One, National Association (“CONA”). On May 18, 2025 (the “Closing Date”), Discover Financial Services (“Discover”) merged into Capital One and Discover Bank merged into CONA. See “Part I—Item 1. Financial Statements—Note 2—Business Combinations and Discontinued Operations” for additional information. The Company is hereafter collectively referred to as “we,” “us” or “our.” CONA is referred to as the “Bank.”
We are one of the largest issuers of credit cards in the United States of America (“U.S.”) based on the outstanding balance of credit card loans as of September 30, 2025. In addition to credit cards, we also offer debit cards, bank lending, treasury management and depository services, auto loans, and other consumer lending products in markets across the U.S. As one of the nation’s largest banks based on deposits as of September 30, 2025, we service banking customer accounts through digital channels and our network of branch locations, cafés, call centers and automated teller machines (“ATMs”). Additionally, through the acquisition of Discover, we acquired new products including personal loans as well as the Discover Network, the PULSE Network, Diners Club International (“Diners Club”) and Network Partners (collectively, the “Global Payment Network”). The Discover Network processes transactions for credit and debit cards issued on its network and provides payment transaction processing and settlement services. The PULSE Network operates an electronic funds transfer network, providing financial institutions issuing debit cards on the PULSE Network with access to ATMs domestically and internationally, as well as merchant acceptance throughout the U.S. for debit card transactions. Diners Club is a global payments network of licensees, which are generally financial institutions, that issue Diners Club-branded charge cards and/or provide card acceptance services. We also have agreements with a number of financial institutions, financial technology firms, networks, network-to-network partners and other commercial service providers (collectively, “Network Partners”) for the provision of card issuing, payments processing and related services on the Global Payment Network. In our newly acquired network business, we compete with other networks for transaction volume and to attract Network Partners to issue credit, debit and prepaid cards on the Global Payment Network.
We also offer credit card products and certain other services outside of the U.S. through Capital One (Europe) plc (“COEP”), an indirect subsidiary of CONA organized and located in the United Kingdom (“U.K.”), and through a branch of CONA in Canada. Both COEP and our Canadian branch of CONA have the authority to provide credit card loans. In addition, we offer Global Payment Network services globally.

Our consolidated total net revenues are derived primarily from lending to consumer and commercial customers net of funding costs associated with our deposits, long-term debt and other borrowings. We also earn non-interest income which primarily consists of discount and interchange income, net of reward expenses, service charges and other customer-related fees. Our expenses primarily consist of the provision for credit losses, operating expenses, marketing expenses and income taxes.
Our principal operations are organized for management reporting purposes into three major business segments, which are defined primarily based on the products and services provided or the types of customers served: Credit Card, Consumer Banking and Commercial Banking. The operations of acquired businesses have been integrated into or managed as a part of our existing business segments. Certain activities that are not part of a business segment are included in the Other category, such as the management of our corporate investment portfolio and asset/liability positions performed by our centralized Corporate Treasury group and any residual tax expense or benefit beyond what is assessed to our business segments in order to arrive at the consolidated effective tax rate. The Other category also includes unallocated corporate expenses that do not directly support the operations of the business segments or for which the business segments are not considered financially accountable in evaluating their performance, such as certain restructuring charges and integration expenses related to the acquisition of Discover.
•
Credit Card:
Consists of our domestic consumer card lending, personal loans, domestic small business card lending and international card businesses in the U.K. and Canada.
•
Consumer Banking:
Consists of our deposit gathering and lending activities for consumers and small businesses, national auto lending and services offered by the Global Payment Network.
•
Commercial Banking:
Consists of our lending, deposit gathering, capital markets and treasury management services to commercial real estate and commercial and industrial customers. Our customers typically include companies with annual revenues between $20 million and $2 billion.
Business Developments
We regularly explore and evaluate opportunities to acquire financial products and services as well as financial assets, including credit card and other loan portfolios, and enter into strategic partnerships as part of our growth strategy. We also explore opportunities to acquire technology companies and related assets to improve our information technology infrastructure and to deliver on our digital strategy. We may issue equity or debt to fund our acquisitions. In addition, we regularly consider the potential disposition of certain of our assets, branches, partnership agreements or lines of business.
Discover Acquisition
On February 19, 2024, the Company entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Capital One, Discover, a Delaware corporation and Vega Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”). On May 18, 2025, the Company closed the acquisition of Discover, pursuant to which (i) Merger Sub merged with and into Discover, with Discover as the surviving entity in the merger (the “Merger”); (ii) immediately following the Merger, Discover, as the surviving entity, merged with and into Capital One, with Capital One as the surviving entity in the second-step merger (the “Second Step Merger”); and (iii) immediately following the Second Step Merger, Discover Bank, a Delaware-chartered and wholly owned subsidiary of Discover, merged with and into CONA, with CONA as the surviving entity in the merger (the “CONA Bank Merger,” and collectively with the Merger and Second Step Merger, the “Transaction”). The Transaction enables the Company to leverage its newly acquired networks, customer base, technology, and data ecosystem to drive value for merchants, consumers, and small businesses. The Company has begun to convert legacy Capital One customer debit cards on to the Global Payment Network.
Upon closing, each share of common stock of Discover outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, other than certain shares held by Discover or Capital One, was converted into the right to receive 1.0192 shares of common stock of Capital One. Holders of Discover common stock received cash in lieu of fractional shares. At the effective time of the Second Step Merger, each share of Fixed-to-Floating Rate Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series C, of Discover, and each share of 6.125% Fixed-Rate Reset Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series D, of Discover, in each case outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Second Step Merger, was converted into the right to receive a share of newly created Fixed-to-Floating Rate Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series O or 6.125% Fixed-Rate Reset Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series P of Capital One.

As of the Closing Date, the fair value of purchase consideration transferred was $51.8 billion. The fair value of total identifiable assets acquired was $168.1 billion, which included $108.2 billion of loans held for investment. The fair value of deposits assumed was $106.9 billion. Our results of operations for the third quarter of 2025 reflect the combined company. Our results of operations for the first nine months of 2025 reflect the activity of Discover’s acquired business operations for the period since the Closing Date. See “Part I—Item 1.Financial Statements—Note 2—Business Combinations and Discontinued Operations” for additional information.
In the second quarter of 2025, the Board of Directors approved a plan to exit the Discover Home Loan business acquired as a part of the Transaction. We are actively marketing the business and are in the process of identifying potential buyers. See “Part I—Item 1. Financial Statements—Note 2—Business Combinations and Discontinued Operations” for additional information.

| SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA | ||||||||||||||||||||
The following table presents selected consolidated financial data and performance from our results of operations for the third quarter and first nine months of 2025 and 2024 and selected comparative balance sheet data as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. We also provide selected key metrics we use in evaluating our performance, including certain metrics that are computed using non-GAAP measures. We consider these metrics to be key financial measures that management uses in assessing our operating performance, capital adequacy and the level of returns generated. We believe these non-GAAP metrics provide useful insight to investors and users of our financial information as they provide an alternate measurement of our performance and assist in assessing our capital adequacy and the level of return generated. These non-GAAP measures should not be viewed as a substitute for reported results determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP measures that may be presented by other companies.

| EXECUTIVE SUMMARY | ||
Financial Highlights
We reported net income of $3.2 billion ($4.83 per diluted common share) on total net revenue of $15.4 billion and net income of $319 million ($0.23 per diluted common share) on total net revenue of $37.9 billion for the third quarter and first nine months of 2025, respectively. In comparison, we reported net income of $1.8 billion ($4.41 per diluted common share) on total net revenue of $10.0 billion and net income of $3.7 billion ($8.92 per diluted common share) on total net revenue of $28.9 billion for the third quarter and first nine months of 2024, respectively.
Our common equity Tier 1 (“CET1”) capital ratio as calculated under the Basel III standardized approach was 14.4% and
13.5% as of
September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. See “Capital Management” for additional information.
In the third quarter of 2025, we declared and paid common stock dividends of $387 million and repurchased 1.0 billion of shares of our common stock. During the first nine months of 2025, we declared and paid common stock dividends of $1.0 billion and repurchased 1.3 billion of shares of our common stock. On October 20, 2025, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $16 billion of shares of our common stock. Repurchases under the new share repurchase program were authorized to begin on October 21, 2025. This new authorization replaces the Company’s prior authorization to repurchase its common stock approved by our Board of Directors in April 2022. See “Capital Management—Dividend Policy and Stock Purchases” for additional information.
Below are additional highlights of our performance in the third quarter and first nine months of 2025. These highlights are based on a comparison between the results of the third quarter and first nine months of 2025 and 2024, except as otherwise noted. The changes in our financial condition and credit performance as of September 30, 2025 compared to December 31, 2024 were primarily driven by the Transaction. We provide a more detailed discussion of our financial performance in the sections following this “Executive Summary.”
Total Company Performance
•
Earnings:
Our net income increased by $1.4 billion to $3.2 billion in the third quarter of 2025 compared to the third quarter of 2024 primarily driven by:
◦
Higher net interest income primarily driven by higher loan balances, including the impacts of the Transaction.
◦
Higher non-interest income primarily driven by growth in our credit card portfolio and the impacts of acquiring the Global Payment Network, both as a result of the Transaction.
These drivers were partially offset by:
◦
Higher non-interest expense primarily driven by impacts from the Transaction, including integration expenses, as well as continued investments in technology.
Our net income decreased by $3.3 billion to $319 million in the first nine months of 2025 compared to the first nine months of 2024 primarily driven by:
◦
Higher provision for credit losses primarily driven by the initial allowance for credit losses for non-purchased credit deteriorated (“non-PCD”) loans acquired in the Transaction.
◦
Higher non-interest expense primarily driven by impacts from the Transaction, including integration expenses, as well as continued investments in technology.
These drivers were partially offset by:
◦
Higher net interest income primarily driven by higher loan balances, including the impacts of the Transaction.
◦
Higher non-interest income primarily driven by growth in our credit card portfolio and the impacts of acquiring the Global Payment Network, both as a result of the Transaction.

•
Loans Held for Investment:
◦
Loans held for investment increased by $115.4 billion to $443.2 billion as of September 30, 2025 compared to December 31, 2024 primarily driven by the Transaction, which contributed $108.2 billion of loans held for investment as of the Closing Date.
◦
Average loans held for investment increased by $121.6 billion to $439.9 billion in the third quarter of 2025 compared to the third quarter of 2024 and increased by $64.6 billion to $380.6 billion in the first nine months of 2025 compared to the first nine months of 2024 primarily driven by the Transaction.
•
Net Charge-Off and Delinquency Metrics:
◦
Our net charge-off rate decreased by 11 basis points (“bps”) to 3.16% in the third quarter of 2025 compared to the third quarter of 2024 and decreased by 7 bps to 3.25% in the first nine months of 2025 compared to the first nine months of 2024.
◦
Our 30+ day delinquency rate decreased by 48 bps to 3.50% as of September 30, 2025 from December 31, 2024 primarily due to the loan portfolio acquired as part of the Transaction.
•
Allowance for Credit Losses:
Our allowance for credit losses increased by $6.8 billion to $23.1 billion as of September 30, 2025 compared to December 31, 2024 primarily driven by the initial allowance for credit losses acquired in the Transaction. Our allowance coverage ratio increased by 25 bps to 5.21% as of September 30, 2025 compared to December 31, 2024 primarily driven by a higher concentration of credit card loans, which carry comparatively higher coverage than our auto and commercial loan portfolios.
| CONSOLIDATED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS | ||
The section below provides a comparative discussion of our consolidated financial performance for the third quarter and first nine months of 2025 and 2024. We provide a discussion of our business segment results in the following section, “Business Segment Financial Performance.” This section should be read together with our “Executive Summary,” where we discuss trends and other factors that we expect will affect our future results of operations.
Net Interest Income
Net interest income represents the difference between interest income, including certain fees, earned on our interest-earning assets and the interest expense incurred on our interest-bearing liabilities. Our interest-earning assets include loans, investment securities and other interest-earning assets, while our interest-bearing liabilities include interest-bearing deposits, securitized debt obligations, senior and subordinated notes, other borrowings and other interest-bearing liabilities. Generally, we include in interest income any past due fees, net of reversals, on loans that we deem collectible. Our net interest margin represents the difference between the yield on our interest-earning assets and the cost of our interest-bearing liabilities, including the notional impact of non-interest-bearing funding and excluding discontinued operations. We expect net interest income and our net interest margin to fluctuate based on changes in interest rates and changes in the amount and composition of our interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Loans, other assets, and liabilities associated with discontinued operations, and their related income and expense, are excluded from the net interest margin calculation.

Some of our commercial investments generate tax-exempt income, tax credits or other tax benefits. Accordingly, we present our Commercial Banking revenue and yields on a taxable-equivalent basis, calculated using the federal statutory tax rate of 21% and state taxes where applicable, with offsetting reductions to the Other category. Taxable-equivalent adjustments included in the interest income and yield computations for our commercial loans totaled approximately $19 million and $59 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2025, respectively, and $20 million and $59 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2024, respectively, with corresponding reductions to the Other category.

Net interest income increased by $4.3 billion to $12.4 billion in the third quarter of 2025 compared to the third quarter of 2024 and increased by $7.3 billion to $30.4 billion in the first nine months of 2025 compared to the first nine months of 2024 primarily driven by higher loan balances, including the impacts of the Transaction, and lower rates paid on deposits.
Net interest margin increased by 125 bps to 8.36% in the third quarter of 2025 compared to the third quarter of 2024 and increased by 86 bps to 7.69% in the first nine months of 2025 compared to the first nine months of 2024 primarily driven by higher loan balances, including the impacts of the Transaction, and lower rates paid on deposits.
Our total company cumulative interest-bearing deposit beta increased to 23% as of September 30, 2025, from 11% as of December 31, 2024. We define cumulative deposit beta as the ratio of changes in the average rate paid on our average interest-bearing deposits to changes in the upper bound of the federal funds rate during the current falling interest rate cycle.
Table 3 displays the change in our net interest income between periods and the extent to which the variance is attributable to:

We calculate the change in interest income and interest expense separately for each item. The portion of interest income or interest expense attributable to both volume and rate is allocated proportionately when the calculation results in a positive value. When the portion of interest income or interest expense attributable to both volume and rate results in a negative value, the total amount is allocated to volume or rate, depending on which amount is positive. The portion of interest income or interest expense attributable to both volume and rate is calculated using rounded dollars in millions for average balances and interest income/expense.

.
These amounts have corresponding offsets in non-interest expense.
Non-interest income increased by $1.0 billion to $3.0 billion in the third quarter of 2025 and increased by $1.6 billion to $7.4 billion in the first nine months of 2025 primarily due to growth in our credit card portfolio and the impacts of acquiring the Global Payment Network, both as a result of the Transaction.
Provision for Credit Losses
Our provision for credit losses in each period is driven by net charge-offs, changes to the allowance for credit losses and changes to the reserve for unfunded lending commitments. Our provision for credit losses increased by $232 million to $2.7 billion in the third quarter of 2025 primarily driven by higher net charge-offs in Domestic Card as a result of the Transaction, partially offset by a larger net allowance release compared to the third quarter of 2024. Our provision for credit losses increased by $7.4 billion to $16.5 billion in the first nine months of 2025 primarily driven by the initial allowance for credit losses of $8.8 billion for non-PCD loans acquired in the Transaction.
We provide additional information on the provision for credit losses and changes in the allowance for credit losses within “Credit Risk Profile” and “Part I—Item 1. Financial Statements—Note 5—Allowance for Credit Losses and Reserve for Unfunded Lending Commitments.” For information on the allowance methodology for each of our loan categories, see “Part II—Item 8.

Includes expenses of $46 million and $87 million related to our deferred compensation plan investments for the third quarter and first nine months of 2025, respectively, and expenses of $36 million and $89 million related to our deferred compensation plan investments for the third quarter and first nine months of 2024, respectively. These amounts have corresponding offsets from investments in other non-interest income.
Non-interest expense increased by $2.9 billion to $8.3 billion in the third quarter of 2025 compared to the third quarter of 2024 and increased by $5.8 billion to $21.2 billion in the first nine months of 2025 compared to the first nine months of 2024 primarily driven by impacts from the Transaction, including integration expenses, as well as continued investments in technology.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, we incurred $348 million and $757 million, respectively, of integration expenses related to the Transaction, primarily driven by salaries and associate benefits and professional services, which are included within operating expense in our consolidated statements of income. Since the announcement of the Transaction in the first quarter of 2024, we have incurred $991 million of integration expenses as of September 30, 2025.

Income Taxes
We recorded an income tax expense of $1.2 billion (27.1% effective income tax rate) and an income tax benefit of $152 million (negative 83.5% effective income tax rate) in the third quarter and first nine months of 2025, respectively, compared to an income tax expense of $441 million (19.9% effective income tax rate) and $797 million (17.9% effective income tax rate) in the third quarter and first nine months of 2024, respectively. Our effective tax rate on income from continuing operations varies between periods due, in part, to the impact of changes in pre-tax income and changes in tax credits, tax-exempt income and non-deductible expenses relative to our pre-tax earnings.
We recorded discrete tax benefits of $1 million and $177 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2025, respectively.
Our effective tax rate in the third quarter of 2025 was computed utilizing the annual method. We changed our methodology from the year-to-date method utilized in the second quarter of 2025 due to the return of the proportional relationship between our tax provision, tax credit investments and pre-tax income.
We provide additional information on items affecting our income taxes and effective tax rate in “Part II—Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data—Note 16—Income Taxes” in our 2024 Form 10-K.
Loss
from Discontinued Operations, Net of Tax
Loss from discontinued operations consists of results from the discontinued Home Loan business acquired as a part of the Transaction. Loss from discontinued operations, net of tax was $1 million and $15 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2025, respectively. See “Part I—Item 1. Financial Statements—Note 2—Business Combinations and Discontinued Operations” for additional information.
| CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEETS ANALYSIS | ||
Total assets increased by $171.7 billion to $661.9 billion as of September 30, 2025 from December 31, 2024. The Transaction contributed $168.1 billion in identifiable assets as of the Closing Date. See “Part I—Item 1. Financial Statements—Note 2—Business Combinations and Discontinued Operations” for more information.
Total liabilities increased by $118.7 billion to $548.1 billion as of September 30, 2025 from December 31, 2024. The Transaction contributed $130.1 billion in identifiable liabilities as of the Closing Date, partially offset by maturities and paydowns of securitized debt obligations.
Stockholders’ equity increased by $53.0 billion to $113.8 billion as of September 30, 2025 from December 31, 2024 primarily driven by reissuance of treasury stock of $50.6 billion related to the Transaction and lower unrealized losses in accumulated other comprehensive loss.
The following is a discussion of material changes in the major components of our assets and liabilities during the first nine months of 2025. Period-end balance sheet amounts may vary from average balance sheet amounts due to the Transaction, timing of normal balance sheet management activities that are intended to support our capital and liquidity positions, our market risk profile and the needs of our customers.
Investment Securities
Our investment securities portfolio consists of the following: U.S. government-sponsored enterprise or agency (“GSE” or “Agency”) and non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities (“RMBS”), agency commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”), U.S. Treasury securities and other securities. Agency securities include securities guaranteed by the Government National Mortgage Association (“Ginnie Mae”) and securities issued by the Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac”). The carrying value of our investments in Agency and U.S. Treasury securities represented 97% and 96% of our total investment securities portfolio as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
The fair value of our investment securities portfolio increased by $6.7 billion to $89.7 billion as of September 30, 2025 from December 31, 2024 primarily driven by net securities acquired in the Transaction and decreases in relevant benchmark interest rates.

| BUSINESS SEGMENT FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE | ||
Our principal operations are organized for management reporting purposes in
to three major b
usiness segments, which are defined primarily based on the products and services provided or the types of customer served: Credit Card, Consumer Banking and Commercial Banking. The operations of acquired businesses have been integrated into or managed as a part of our existing business segments. Certain activities that are not part of a business segment are included in the Other category, such as the management of our corporate investment portfolio and asset/liability positions performed by our centralized Corporate Treasury group and any residual tax expense or benefit beyond what is assessed to our business segments in order to arrive at the consolidated effective tax rate. The Other category also includes unallocated corporate expenses that do not directly support the operations of the business segments or for which the business segments are not considered financially accountable in evaluating their performance, such as certain restructuring charges, integration expenses, and certain liabilities incurred by Discover ahead of the Transaction and not attributable to ongoing operations.
The assets and liabilities related to the acquired Home Loan business are presented separately within assets of discontinued operations and liabilities of discontinued operations on the consolidated balance sheets, and the operating results have been reflected as discontinued operations for all periods presented. As such, the related results have been excluded from continuing operations and business segment results.
The results of our individual businesses, which we report on a continuing operations basis, reflect the manner in which management evaluates performance and makes decisions about funding our operations and allocating resources. We may periodically change our business segments or reclassify business segment results based on modifications to our management reporting methodologies and changes in organizational alignment. Our business segment results are intended to reflect each segment as if it were a stand-alone business. We use an internal management and reporting process to derive our business segment results. Our internal management and reporting process employs various allocation methodologies, including funds transfer pricing, to assign certain balance sheet assets, deposits and other liabilities and their related revenues and expenses directly or indirectly attributable to each business. Total interest income and non-interest income are directly attributable to the segment in which they are reported. The net interest income of each segment reflects the results of our funds transfer pricing process, which is primarily based on a matched funding concept that takes into consideration market interest rates. Our funds transfer pricing process is managed by our centralized Corporate Treasury group and provides a funds credit for sources of funds, such as deposits generated by our Consumer Banking and Commercial Banking businesses, and a charge for the use of funds by each business. The allocation is unique to each business and is based on the composition of assets and liabilities. The funds transfer pricing process considers the interest rate and liquidity risk characteristics of assets and liabilities and off-balance sheet products. Periodically, the methodology and assumptions utilized in the funds transfer pricing process are adjusted to reflect economic conditions and other factors, which may impact the allocation of net interest income to the businesses. We regularly assess the assumptions, methodologies and reporting classifications used for segment reporting, which may result in the implementation of refinements or changes in future periods. We provide additional information on the allocation methodologies used to derive our business segment results in “Part II—Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data—Note 18—Business Segments and Revenue from Contracts with Customers” in our 2024 Form 10-K.
We refer to the business segment results derived from our internal management accounting and reporting process as our “managed” presentation, which differs in some cases from our reported results prepared based on U.S. GAAP. There is no comprehensive authoritative body of guidance for management accounting equivalent to U.S. GAAP; therefore, the managed presentation of our business segment results may not be comparable to similar information provided by other financial services companies. In addition, our individual business segment results should not be used as a substitute for comparable results determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
We summarize our business segment results for the third quarter and first nine months of 2025 and 2024 and provide a comparative discussion of these results below, as well as changes in our financial condition and credit performance metrics as of September 30, 2025 compared to December 31, 2024. We provide a reconciliation of our total business segment results to our reported consolidated results in “Part I—Item 1. Financial Statements—Note 13—Business Segments and Revenue from Contracts with Customers.”

Key factors affecting the results of our Credit Card business for the third quarter and first nine months of 2025 compared to the third quarter and first nine months of 2024, and changes in financial condition and credit performance between September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 include the following:
•
Net Interest Income:
Net interest income increased by $3.7 billion to $9.4 billion in the third quarter of 2025 and increased by $6.0 billion to $22.3 billion in the first nine months of 2025 primarily driven by higher loan balances, including the impacts of the Transaction.

Other Category
Other includes unallocated amounts related to our centralized Corporate Treasury group activities, such as management of our corporate investment securities portfolio, asset/liability management and oversight of our funds transfer pricing process. Other also includes:
•
unallocated corporate revenue and expenses that do not directly support the operations of the business segments or for which the business segments are not considered financially accountable in evaluating their performance, such as certain restructuring charges and integration expenses related to the Transaction;
•
residual tax expense or benefit to arrive at the consolidated effective tax rate that is not assessed to our primary business segments; and
•
foreign exchange rate fluctuations on foreign currency-denominated balances. As a result of our derivative management activities, we believe our net exposure to foreign exchange risk is minimal.

Some of our commercial investments generate tax-exempt income, tax credits or other tax benefits. Accordingly, we present our Commercial Banking revenue and yields on a taxable-equivalent basis, calculated using the federal statutory tax rate of 21% and state taxes where applicable, with offsetting reductions to the Other category.
** Not meaningful.
Loss from continuing operations, net of tax increased by $170 million to a loss of $433 million in the third quarter of 2025 compared to the third quarter of 2024 primarily driven by integration expenses related to the Transaction and a higher income tax provision, partially offset by higher treasury income.
Loss from continuing operations, net of tax decreased by $143 million to a loss of $705 million in the first nine months of 2025 compared to the first nine months of 2024 primarily driven by higher treasury income, partially offset by integration expenses related to the Transaction.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, we incurred $348 million and $757 million, respectively, of integration expenses related to the Transaction, primarily driven by salaries and associate benefits and professional services, which are included within operating expense in our consolidated statements of income. Since the announcement of the Transaction in the first quarter of 2024, we have incurred $991 million of integration expenses as of September 30, 2025.
| CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES | ||
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make a number of judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the amount of assets, liabilities, income and expenses on the consolidated financial statements. Understanding our accounting policies and the extent to which we use management judgment and estimates in applying these policies is integral to understanding our financial statements. We provide a summary of our significant accounting policies under “Part II—Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data—Note 1—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in our 2024 Form 10-K.
We have identified the following accounting estimates as critical because they require significant judgments and assumptions about highly complex and inherently uncertain matters and the use of reasonably different estimates and assumptions could have a material impact on our results of operations or financial condition.
•
Loan loss reserves
•
Goodwill
•
Fair value
•
Customer rewards reserve
|

|
Capital One Financial Corporation (COF) | |||||||
We evaluate our critical accounting estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis and update them as necessary, based on changing conditions.
Goodwill
As of September 30, 2025, we recorded preliminary goodwill related to the Transaction of $13.8 billion based on provisional estimates as of the Closing Date. Goodwill related to the Transaction has been preliminarily allocated to the Credit Card ($6.8 billion) and Other Consumer Banking ($7.0 billion) reporting units. Fair value estimates related to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are subject to adjustment for up to one year after the Closing Date as additional information becomes available (the “Measurement Period”). The Company may obtain additional information during the Measurement Period that could result in changes to the preliminary fair value of net assets acquired, the amount of preliminary goodwill, and the allocation of preliminary goodwill to reporting units. Total goodwill, including the preliminary goodwill resulting from the Transaction, was $28.9 billion as of September 30, 2025.
We perform our goodwill impairment test annually on October 1 at a reporting unit level. As of our last annual test and as of September 30, 2025, we had four reporting units with allocated goodwill: Credit Card, Auto, Other Consumer Banking and Commercial Banking.
We are required to test goodwill for impairment when a triggering event occurs that indicates it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is below its carrying amount. During the third quarter of 2025, we concluded there were no triggering events and completed our qualitative assessment of impairment indicators, which included, among other things, an assessment of changes in macroeconomic conditions, comparison of the actual results to those forecasted in the most recent annual impairment test and performing sensitivity analysis on key assumptions. For the acquired Discover businesses, we also assessed the reasonableness of certain assumptions as of September 30, 2025, including the likelihood that expected synergies will be realized in the future.
The assumptions used in estimating the fair value of a reporting unit are judgmental and inherently uncertain. A change in the economic conditions of a reporting unit, such as declines in business performance as a result of industry or macroeconomic trends or changes in our strategy, adverse impacts to loan or deposit growth trends, decreases in revenue, increases in expenses, deterioration in a significant loan portfolio, increases in credit losses, increases in capital requirements, deterioration of market conditions, declines in long-term growth expectations, an increase in disposition activity, inability to achieve expected synergies from the Transaction, adverse impacts of regulatory or legislative changes, or increases in the estimated cost of capital could cause the estimated fair values of our reporting units to decline in the future, and increase the risk of a goodwill impairment in a future period. We perform sensitivity analyses around certain assumptions in order to assess the reasonableness of the assumptions and the resulting estimated fair values.
There have been no additional changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates described in our 2024 Form 10-K under “Part II—Item 7. MD&A—Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates.”

| CAPITAL MANAGEMENT | ||
The level and composition of our capital are determined by multiple factors, including our consolidated regulatory capital requirements as described in more detail below and internal risk-based capital assessments such as internal stress testing. The level and composition of our capital may also be influenced by rating agency guidelines, subsidiary capital requirements, business environment, conditions in the financial markets and assessments of potential future losses due to adverse changes in our business and market environments.
Capital Standards and Prompt Corrective Action
The Company and the Bank are subject to the regulatory capital requirements established by the Federal Reserve and the OCC, respectively (the “Basel III Capital Rules”). The Basel III Capital Rules implement certain capital requirements published by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (“Basel Committee”), along with certain provisions of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (“Dodd-Frank Act”) and other capital provisions.
As a bank holding company (“BHC”) with total consolidated assets of at least $250 billion but less than $700 billion and not exceeding any of the applicable risk-based thresholds, the Company is a Category III institution under the Basel III Capital Rules.
The Bank, as a subsidiary of a Category III institution, is a Category III bank. Moreover, the Bank, as an insured depository institution, is subject to prompt corrective action (“PCA”) capital regulations.
Basel III and U.S. Capital Rules
Under the Basel III Capital Rules, we must maintain a minimum CET1 capital ratio of 4.5%, a Tier 1 capital ratio of 6.0% and a total capital ratio of 8.0%, in each case in relation to risk-weighted assets. In addition, we must maintain a minimum leverage ratio of 4.0% and a minimum supplementary leverage ratio of 3.0%. We are also subject to the capital conservation buffer requirement and countercyclical capital buffer requirement, each as described below. Our capital and leverage ratios are calculated based on the Basel III standardized approach framework.
We have elected to exclude certain elements of accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) from our regulatory capital as permitted for a Category III institution. For information on the recognition of AOCI in regulatory capital under the proposed changes to the Basel III Capital Rules, see “Part I—Item 1. Business—Supervision and Regulation—Prudential Regulation of Banking—Capital and Stress Testing Regulation—Basel III Finalization Proposal” in our 2024 Form 10-K.
Global systemically important banks (“G-SIBs”) that are based in the U.S. are subject to an additional CET1 capital requirement known as the “G-SIB Surcharge.” We are not a G-SIB based on the most recent available data and thus we are not subject to a G-SIB Surcharge.
Stress Capital Buffer Rule
The Basel III Capital Rules require banking institutions to maintain a capital conservation buffer, composed of CET1 capital, above the regulatory minimum ratios. Under the Federal Reserve’s final rule to implement the stress capital buffer requirement (“Stress Capital Buffer Rule”), the Company’s “standardized approach capital conservation buffer” includes its stress capital buffer requirement (as described below), any G-SIB Surcharge (which is not applicable to us) and the countercyclical capital buffer requirement (which is currently set at 0%). Any determination to increase the countercyclical capital buffer generally would be effective twelve months after the announcement of such an increase, unless the
Federal Reserve
sets an earlier effective date.
The Company’s stress capital buffer requirement is recalibrated every year based on the Company’s supervisory stress test results. In particular, the Company’s stress capital buffer requirement equals, subject to a floor of 2.5%, the sum of (i) the difference between the Company’s starting CET1 capital ratio and its lowest projected CET1 capital ratio under the severely adverse scenario of the Federal Reserve’s supervisory stress test plus (ii) the ratio of the Company’s projected four quarters of common stock dividends (for the fourth to seventh quarters of the planning horizon) to the projected risk-weighted assets for the quarter in which the Company’s projected CET1 capital ratio reaches its minimum under the supervisory stress test.
Based on the Company’s 2024 supervisor
y stress test results, the Company’s stress capital buffer requirement for the period beginning on October 1, 2024 through September 30, 2025 was 5.5%. Therefore, the Company’s minimum capital requirements
|
34
|
Capital One Financial Corporation (COF) | |||||||
plus the standardized approach capital conservation buffer for CET1 capital, Tier 1 capital and total capital ratios under the stress capital buffer framework were 10.0%, 11.5% and 13.5%, respectively, for the period from October 1, 2024 through September 30, 2025.
Based on the Company’s 2025 supervisory stress test results, the Company’s final stress capital buffer requirement for the period beginning on October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026 is 4.5%. Therefore, the Company’s minimum capital requirements plus the standardized approach capital conservation buffer for CET1 capital, Tier 1 capital and total capital ratios under the stress capital buffer framework are 9.0%, 10.5% and 12.5%, respectively, for the period from October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026. For additional information regarding a proposed rulemaking to modify the stress capital buffer framework, including the recalibration and annual effective date of the stress capital buffer requirement, see “Part I—Item 2. MD&A—Supervision and Regulation” in our Q2 2025 Form 10-Q.
The Stress Capital Buffer Rule does not apply to the Bank. Pursuant to the OCC’s capital regulations, which are only applicable to the Bank, the capital conservation buffer for the Bank continues to be fixed at 2.5%. Therefore, the Bank’s minimum capital requirements plus its capital conservation buffer for CET1 capital, Tier 1 capital and total capital ratios are 7.0%, 8.5% and 10.5%, respectively.
If the Company or the Bank fails to maintain its capital ratios above the minimum capital requirements plus the applicable capital conservation buffers, it will face increasingly strict automatic limitations on capital distributions and discretionary bonus payments to certain executive officers.
As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, the Company and the Bank each exceeded the minimum capital requirements and the capital conservation buffer requirements applicable to them, and the Company and the Bank were each “well-capitalized.” The “well-capitalized” standards applicable to the Company are established in the Federal Reserve’s regulations, and the “well-capitalized” standards applicable to the Bank are established in the OCC’s PCA capital requirements.
Market Risk Rule
The “Market Risk Rule” supplements the Basel III Capital Rules by requiring institutions subject to the rule to adjust their risk-based capital ratios to reflect the market risk in their trading book. The Market Risk Rule generally applies to institutions with aggregate trading assets and liabilities equal to 10% or more of total assets or $1 billion or more. As of September 30, 2025, the Company and the Bank are subject to the Market Risk Rule. See “Market Risk Profile” below for additional information.
For the description of the regulatory capital rules to which we are subject, including recent proposed amendments to these rules under the Basel III Finalization Proposal, see “Part I—Item 1. Business—Supervision and Regulation” in our 2024 Form 10-K.

On October 20, 2025, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $16 billion of shares of our common stock. Repurchases under the new share repurchase program were authorized to begin on October 21, 2025. This new authorization replaces the Company’s prior authorization to repurchase its common stock approved by our Board of Directors in April 2022. We repurchased $1.0 billion of shares of our common stock during the third quarter of 2025 and $1.3 billion of shares of our common stock during the first nine months of 2025.
On August 29, 2025, the Federal Reserve confirmed and announced individual stress capital buffer requirements for large banking institutions, including the Company. The Company’s final stress capital buffer requirement for the period beginning on October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026 is 4.5%. Therefore, the Company’s minimum capital requirements plus the standardized approach capital conservation buffer for CET1 capital, Tier 1 capital and total capital ratios under the stress capital buffer framework are 9.0%, 10.5% and 12.5%, respectively, for the period from October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026.

Credit Risk Measurement
We closely monitor economic conditions and loan performance trends to assess and manage our exposure to credit risk. Trends in delinquency rates are the key credit quality indicator for our credit card, personal loans, and retail banking loan portfolios as changes in delinquency rates can provide an early warning of changes in potential future credit losses. The key indicator we monitor when assessing the credit quality and risk of our auto loan portfolio is borrower credit scores as they provide insight into borrower risk profiles, which give indications of potential future credit losses. The key credit quality indicator for our commercial loan portfolio is our internal risk ratings as we generally classify loans that have been delinquent for an extended period of time and other loans with significant risk of loss as nonperforming. In addition to these credit quality indicators, we also manage and monitor other credit quality metrics such as level of nonperforming loans and net charge-off rates.
We underwrite most consumer loans using proprietary models, which typically include credit bureau data, such as borrower credit scores, application information and, where applicable, collateral and deal structure data. We continuously adjust our management of credit lines and collection strategies based on customer behavior and risk profile changes. We also use borrower credit scores for subprime classification, for competitive benchmarking and, in some cases, to drive product segmentation decisions.
Table 20 provides details on the credit scores of our domestic credit card, personal and auto loan portfolios as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

Percentages represent period-end loans held for investment in each credit score category. Domestic credit card and personal loan credit scores generally represent Fair Isaac Corporation (“FICO”) scores. These scores are obtained from one of the major credit bureaus at origination and are refreshed monthly thereafter and may be based on different versions of FICO over time. We approximate non-FICO credit scores to comparable FICO scores for consistency purposes. Balances for which no credit score is available or the credit score is invalid are included in the 660 or below category for Domestic credit card and 620 or below for personal loans.
(2)
Percentages represent period-end loans held for investment in each credit score category. Auto loan credit scores generally represent average FICO scores obtained from three credit bureaus at the time of application and are not refreshed thereafter. Balances for which no credit score is available or the credit score is invalid are included in the 620 or below category.
In our commercial loan portfolio, we assign internal risk ratings to loans based on relevant information about the ability of the borrowers to repay their debt. In determining the risk rating of a particular loan, some of the factors considered are the borrower’s current financial condition, historical and projected future credit performance, prospects for support from financially responsible guarantors, the estimated realizable value of any collateral and current economic trends.
We present information in the section below on the credit performance of our loan portfolio, including the key metrics we use in tracking changes in the credit quality of our loan portfolio. See “Part I—Item 1. Financial Statements—Note 4—Loans” for additional credit quality information. See “Part I—Item 1.

Delinquency Rates
We consider the entire balance of an account to be delinquent if the minimum required payment is not received by the customer’s due date, measured at each balance sheet date. Our 30+ day delinquency metrics include all loans held for investment that are 30 or more days past due, whereas our 30+ day performing delinquency metrics include all loans held for investment that are 30 or more days past due but are currently classified as performing and accruing interest. The 30+ day delinquency and 30+ day performing delinquency metrics are the same for domestic credit card loans, as we continue to classify these loans as performing until the account is charged off, typically when the account is 180 days past due. See “Part II—Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data—Note 1—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in our 2024 Form 10-K for information on our policies for classifying loans as nonperforming for each of our loan categories. We provide additional information on our credit quality metrics in “Business Segment Financial Performance.”

Net Charge-Offs
Net charge-offs consist of the amortized cost basis, excluding accrued interest, of loans held for investment that we determine to be uncollectible, net of recovered amounts. We charge off loans as a reduction to the allowance for credit losses when we determine the loan is uncollectible and record subsequent recoveries of previously charged off amounts as increases to the allowance for credit losses. Uncollectible finance charges and fees are reversed through revenue and certain fraud losses are recorded in other non-interest expense. Generally, costs to recover charged off loans are recorded as collection expenses as incurred and are included in our consolidated statements of income as a component of other non-interest expense. Our charge-off policy for loans varies based on the loan type. See “Part II—Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data—Note 1—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in our 2024 Form 10-K for information on our charge-off policy for each of our loan categories.

Financial Difficulty Modifications to Borrowers
A financial difficulty modification (“FDM”) occurs when a modification in the form of principal forgiveness, interest rate reduction, an other-than-insignificant payment delay, a term extension or a combination of these modifications is granted to a borrower experiencing financial difficulty.
As part of our loss mitigation efforts, we may provide short-term (one to twelve months) or long-term (greater than twelve months) modifications to a borrower experiencing financial difficulty to improve long-term collectibility of the loan and to avoid the need for repossession or foreclosure of collateral.
We consider the impact of all loan modifications, including FDMs, when estimating the credit quality of our loan portfolio and establishing allowance levels. For our Commercial Banking customers, loan modifications are also considered in the assignment of an internal risk rating.
In our Credit Card business, the majority of our FDMs receive an interest rate reduction and are placed on a fixed payment plan not exceeding 60 months. If the customer does not comply with the modified payment terms, then the credit card loan agreement may revert to its original payment terms, generally resulting in any loan outstanding being reflected in the appropriate delinquency category and charged off in accordance with our standard charge-off policy.
In our Consumer Banking business, the majority of our FDMs receive an extension, an interest rate reduction, principal reduction, or a combination of these modifications.
In our Commercial Banking business, the majority of our FDMs receive an extension. A portion of FDMs receive an interest rate reduction, principal reduction, or a combination of modifications.
For more information on FDMs, see “Part I—Item 1. Financial Statements—Note 4—Loans.”
Allowance for Credit Losses and Reserve for Unfunded Lending Commitments
Our allowance for credit losses represents management’s current estimate of expected credit losses over the contractual terms of our loans held for investment as of each balance sheet date. Expected recoveries of amounts previously charged off or expected to be charged off are recognized within the allowance. We also estimate expected credit losses related to unfunded lending commitments that are not unconditionally cancellable. The provision for losses on unfunded lending commitments is included in the provision for credit losses in our consolidated statements of income and the related reserve for unfunded lending commitments is included in other liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets. We provide additional information on the methodologies and key assumptions used in determining our allowance for credit losses in “Part II—Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data—Note 1—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in our 2024 Form 10-K.
Table 26 presents changes in our allowance for credit losses and reserve for unfunded lending commitments for the third quarter and first nine months of 2025 and 2024, and details by portfolio segment for the provision for credit losses, charge-offs and recoveries.

| LIQUIDITY RISK PROFILE | ||
We manage our funding and liquidity risk in an integrated manner in support of the current and future cash flow needs of our business. We maintained liquidity reserv
es of $143.1 billion and $123.8 billion as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, as shown in Table 27 below. Included in liquidity reserv
es are cash and cash equivalents, investment securities and FHLB borrowing capacity secured by loans.
As of September 30, 2025, we had available issuance capacity of $53.2 billion under shelf registrations associated with our credit card and auto loan securitization programs. We also maintain a shelf registration that enables us to issue an indeterminate amount of senior or subordinated debt securities, preferred stock, depositary shares, common stock, purchase contracts, warrants and units. Our ability to issue under each shelf registration is subject to market conditions.
Finally,
as of September 30, 2025, we had access to available contingent liquidity source
s totaling $100.6 billion through the prepositioning of collateral, including a portion of the investment securities included in the liquidity reserves amount in the following table, at the Federal Reserve Discount Window, the Standing Repo Facility, FHLB and the Fixed Income Clearing Corporation—Government Securities Division (“FICC - GSD”).
As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, our funding sources t
otaled $520.3 billion and $408.3 billion, resp
ectively,
primarily composed of consumer deposits, as sh
own in “Consolidated Balance Sheets Analysis—
Table 7:
Funding Sources Composition.”
Our liquidity reserves, borrowing capacity, contingent liquidity sources and total funding sources are all discussed in more detail in the following sections.
Table 27 below presents the composition of our liquidity reserves as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

Liquidity Coverage Ratio
We are subject to the final rules published by the Basel Committee and as implemented by the Federal Reserve and the OCC for the Basel III Liquidity Coverage Ratio (“LCR”) in the United States (the “LCR Rule”).
The LCR Rule requires each of the Company and the Bank to calculate its respective LCR daily. It also requires the Company to publicly disclose, on a quarterly basis, its LCR, certain related quantitative liquidity metrics, and a qualitative discussion of its LCR. Our average LCR during the third quarter of 2025 wa
s 161%, whic
h exceeded the LCR Rule requirement of 100%. The calculation and the underlying components are based on our interpretations, expectations and assumptions of relevant regulations, as well as interpretations provided by our regulators, and are subject to change based on changes to future regulations and interpretations. See “Part I—Item 1. Business—Supervision and Regulation” in our 2024 Form 10-K for additional information.
Net Stable Funding Ratio
We are subject to the final rules published by the Basel Committee and as implemented by the Federal Reserve and the OCC for the Basel III Net Stable Funding Ratio (“NSFR”) in the United States (the “NSFR Rule”). The NSFR Rule requires each of the Company and the Bank to maintain an NSFR of 100% on an ongoing basis. It also requires the Company to publicly disclose, on a semi-annual basis each second and fourth quarter, its NSFR, certain related quantitative liquidity metrics and qualitative discussion of its NSF
R. Our average NSFR for the third quarter of 2025 exceeded the NSFR Rule requirement of 100%. Th
e calculation and the underlying components are based on our interpretations, expectations and assumptions of the relevant regulations, as well as interpretations provided by our regulators, and are subject to change based on changes to future regulations and interpretations. See “Part I—Item 1. Business—Supervision and Regulation” in our 2024 Form 10-K for additional information.
Borrowing Capacity
We maintain a shelf registration with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) so that we may periodically offer and sell an indeterminate aggregate amount of senior or subordinated debt securities, preferred stock, depositary shares, common stock, purchase contracts, warrants and units. There is no limit under this shelf registration to the amount or number of such securities that we may offer and sell, subject to market conditions. In addition, we also maintain a shelf registration associated with our Capital One Multi-asset Execution Trust (“COMET”) that allows us to periodically offer and sell up to $24.0 billion of securitized debt obligations, a shelf registration associated with our Discover Card Execution Note Trust (“DCENT”) that allows us to periodically offer and sell up to $12.1 billion of securitized debt obligations, and a shelf registration associated with our Capital One Prime Auto Receivables Trusts (“COPAR”) that allows us to periodically offer and sell up to $18.6 billion of securitized debt obligations. These shelf registration statements are subject to periodic renewal and, thus, change, which may be reviewed by the SEC at the time of each such renewal. As part of each periodic renewal, we assess registered amounts under each shelf registration statement which may be updated as appropriate. As of
September 30, 2025
, we had $22.5 billion, $12.1 billion and $18.6 billion of available issuance capacity in our COMET, DCENT and COPAR securitization programs, respectively.
In addition to our issuance capacity under the shelf registration statements, we also have collateral pledged to support our access to FHLB advances, the Federal Reserve Discount Window,
the Standing Repo Facility
and FICC - GSD general collateral financing repurchase agreement service. For each of these programs, the ability to borrow utilizing these sources is dependent on meeting the respective membership requirements. Our borrowing capacity in each program is a function of the collateral the Bank has posted with each counterparty, including any respective haircuts applied to that collateral.
A
s of September 30, 2025, we pledged loans and securities to the FHLB to secure a maximum borrowing capacity of $33.5 billion, of which $109 million was used. Our FHLB membership is supported by our investment in FHLB stock of $42 million and $18 million as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
As of September 30, 2025, we pledged loans to secure a borrowing capacity of $45.6 billion under the Federal Reserve Discount Window.

The F
DIC limits the acceptance of brokered deposits to well-capitalized insured depository institutions and, with a waiver from the FDIC, to adequately-capitalized institutions. The Bank was well-capitalized, as defined under the federal banking regulatory guidelines, as of both September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. See “Part I—Item 1. Business—Supervision and Regulation” in our 2024 Form 10-K for additional information. We provide additional information on the composition of deposits in “Consolidated Balance Sheets Analysis—Table 7: Funding Sources Composition
” and in “Part I—Item 1. Financial Statements—Note 8—Deposits and Borrowings.”
Funding
Our source of funding in
cludes deposits, senior and subordinated notes, securitized debt obligations, federal funds purchased, securities loaned or sold under agreements to repurchase and FHLB advances secured by certain portions of our loan and securities portfolios. A key objective in our use of these markets is to maintain access to a diversified mix of wholesale funding sources. Insured deposits in our Cons
umer Banking business represent our primary source of funding, as they are a relatively stable and low cost source of funding. See “Consolidated Balance Sheets Analysis—Table 7: Funding Sources Composition” for additional information on our primary sources of funding.
In the normal course of business, we enter into various contractual obligations that may require future cash payments that affect our short-term and long-term liquidity and capital resource needs. Our future cash outflows primarily relate to deposits, borrowings and operating leases. The actual timing and amounts of future cash payments may vary over time due to a number of factors, such as early debt redemptions and changes in deposit balances.

Capital One Financial Corporation (COF) | |||||||
Short-Term Borrowings and Long-Term Debt
We access the capital markets to meet our funding needs through the issuance of senior and subordinated notes, securitized debt obligations and federal funds purchased and securities loaned or sold under agreements to repurchase. In addition, we have access to short-term and long-term FHLB advances secured by certain investment securities, multifamily real estate loans and commercial real estate loans.
Our short-term borrowings, which include those borrowings with an original contractual maturity of one year or less, typically consist of federal funds purchased, securities loaned or sold under agreements to repurchase or short-term FHLB advances, and do not include the current portion of
long-term debt. Our short-term borrowings increased by $54 million to $616 million as of September 30, 2025 from December 31, 2024 driven by commercial-related repurchase agreements.
Our long-term funding, which primarily consists of securitized debt obligations and senior and subordinated notes, increased by $5.9 billion to $50.9 billion as of September 30, 2025 from December 31, 2024 primarily driven by borrowings assumed from the Transaction. We provide more information on our securitization activity in “Part I—Item 1. Financial Statements—Note 6—Variable Interest Entities and Securitizations” and on our borrowi
ngs in “Part I—Item 1. Financial Statements—Note 8—Deposits and Borrowings.”

| MARKET RISK PROFILE | ||
Our primary market risk exposures include interest rate risk, foreign exchange risk and commodity pricing risk. We are exposed to market risk primarily from the following operations and activities:
•
Traditional banking activities of deposit gathering and lending;
•
Asset/liability management activities including the management of investment securities, short-term and long-term borrowings and derivatives;
•
Foreign operations within our Credit Card and Consumer Banking businesses; and
•
Customer accommodation activities within our Commercial Banking business.
We have enterprise-wide risk management policies and limits, approved by our Board of Directors, which govern our market risk management activities. Our objective is to manage our exposure to market risk in accordance with these policies and limits based on prevailing market conditions and long-term expectations. We provide additional information below about our primary sources of market risk, our market risk management strategies and the measures that we use to evaluate these exposures.
Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk represents exposure to financial instruments whose values vary with the level or volatility of interest rates. We are exposed to interest rate risk primarily from the differences in the timing between the maturities or repricing of assets and liabilities. We manage our interest rate risk primarily by entering into interest rate swaps and other derivative instruments which could include caps, floors, options, futures and forward contracts.
We use various industry standard market risk measurement techniques and analyses to measure, assess and manage the impact of changes in interest rates on our net interest income and our economic value of equity and changes in foreign exchange rates on our non-dollar-denominated funding and non-dollar equity investments in foreign operations.
As of June 30, 2025, we integrated the acquired assets and assumed liabilities of Discover that are part of our continuing operations into our interest rate risk framework. The Transaction, and subsequent business actions, have resulted in modest impacts to both our net interest income and economic value of equity sensitivities.
Net Interest Income Sensitivity
Our net interest income sensitivity measure estimates the impact of hypothetical instantaneous movements in interest rates relative to our baseline interest rate forecast on our projected 12-month net interest income. Net interest income sensitivity metrics are derived using the following key assumptions
:
•
As of September 30, 2025, our metrics assume a market implied baseline interest rate projection for the upper limit of the Federal Funds Target Rate of 3.75% and 3.25% at December 31, 2025 and 2026, respectively.
•
In addition to our existing assets, liabilities and derivative positions, we incorporate expected future business growth assumptions. These assumptions include loan and deposit growth, pricing, plans for projected changes in our funding mix and our securities and cash position from our internal corporate outlook that is used in our financial planning process.
•
The analysis assumes this forecast of expected future business growth remains unchanged between the baseline rate forecast and rate shock scenarios, including no changes to our interest rate risk management activities like securities and hedging actions.
•
We incorporate the dynamic nature of deposit re-pricing, which includes pricing lags and changes in deposit beta and mix as interest rates change, and the prepayment sensitivity of our mortgage securities to the level of interest rates. In our models,
deposit betas and mortgage security prepayments vary dynamically based on the level of interest rates and by product type. In the contexts used in this section, “beta” refers to the change in deposit rate paid relative to the change in the federal funds rate.
•
In instances where an interest rate scenario would result in a rate less th
an 0%, we assume a rate of 0% for
that
|
61
|
Capital One Financial Corporation (COF) | |||||||
scenario. This assumption applies only to jurisdictions that do not have a practice of employing negative policy rates. In jurisdictions that have negative policy rates, we do not floor interest rates a
t 0%.
At the current level of interest rates, our projected 12-month net interest income is expected to increase in higher rate scenarios and decrease in lower rate scenarios. The decrease in lower rate scenarios is driven by lower interest income from our assets, including floating rate credit card and commercial loans, being partially offset by lower interest expense from our deposits and other liabilities, net of our interest rate hedges.
Our combined 12-month net interest income sensitivity increased modestly as compared to December 31, 2024, driven largely by the Transaction. Discover’s assets had a large concentration of floating rate Credit Card balances, and we terminated Discover’s interest rate swaps in cash flow hedging relationships as they no longer met the conditions of a qualifying accounting hedge at the Closing Date.
Economic Value of Equity Sensitivity
Our economic value of equity sensitivity measure estimates the impact of hypothetical instantaneous movements in interest rates on the net present value of our assets and liabilities, including derivative exposures. Economic value of equity sensitivity metrics are derived using the following key assumptions:
•
As of September 30, 2025, our metrics assume a market implied baseline interest rate projection for the upper limit of the Federal Funds Target Rate of 3.75% and 3.25% at December 31, 2025 and 2026, respectively.
•
The analysis includes only existing assets, liabilities and derivative positions and does not incorporate business growth assumptions or projected balance sheet changes.
•
Similar to our net interest income sensitivity measure, we incorporate the dynamic nature of deposit repricing and attrition, which includes pricing lags and changes in deposit beta as interest rates change and the prepayment sensitivity of our mortgage securities to the level of interest rates. In our models, deposit betas and mortgage security prepayments vary dynamically based on the level of interest rates and by product type.
•
Balance attrition assumptions for loans, including credit card, personal, auto, and commercial loans, remain unchanged between the baseline interest rate forecast and interest rate shock scenarios as the majority of these loans are floating rate or shorter duration fixed rate loans and hence paydowns have a low sensitivity to the level of interest rates.
•
For assets and liabilities with embedded optionality, such as mortgage securities and deposit balances, we utilize Monte Carlo simulations to assess economic value with industry-standard term structure modeling of interest rates.
•
Our calculations of net present value apply appropriate spreads over the benchmark yield curve for select assets and liabilities to capture the inherent risks (including credit risk) to discount expected interest and principal cash flows.
•
In instances where an interest rate scenario would result in a rate less than 0%, we assume a rate of 0% for that scenario. This assumption applies only to jurisdictions that do not have a practice of employing negative policy rates.
In jurisdictions that have negative policy rates, we do not floor interest rates at 0%.
Our current economic value of equity sensitivity profile demonstrates that our economic value of equity decreases in higher interest rate scenarios and increases in lower interest rate scenarios. The decrease in higher rate scenarios is due to the declines in the projected value of our fixed rate assets being only partially offset by corresponding movements in the projected value of our deposits and other liabilities. The pace of economic value of equity decrease is larger for the +200 bps scenario as our deposits are assumed to reprice more rapidly in higher interest rate environments.
Our combined economic value of equity sensitivity decreased as compared to December 31, 2024, driven largely by the Transaction. Discover’s assets had a large concentration of short duration, floating rate Credit Card balances and we terminated Discover’s existing interest rate swaps in cash flow hedging relationships as they no longer met the conditions of a qualifying accounting hedge at the Closing Date.

In addition to these industry standard measures, we also consider the potential impact of alternative interest rate scenarios, such as larger rate shocks, higher than +/- 200 bps, as well as steepening and flattening yield curve scenarios in our internal interest rate risk management decisions. We also regularly review the sensitivity of our interest rate risk metrics to changes in our key modeling assumptions, such as our loan and deposit balance forecasts, mortgage prepayments and deposit repricing.
Limitations of Market Risk Measures
The interest rate risk models that we use in deriving these measures incorporate contractual information, internally-developed assumptions and proprietary modeling methodologies, which project borrower and depositor behavior patterns in certain interest rate environments. Other market inputs, such as interest rates, market prices and interest rate volatility, are also critical components of our interest rate risk measures. We regularly evaluate, update and enhance these assumptions, models and analytical tools as we believe appropriate to reflect our best assessment of the market environment and the expected behavior patterns of our existing assets and liabilities.
There are inherent limitations in any methodology used to estimate the exposure to changes in market interest rates. The sensitivity analysis described above contemplates only certain movements in interest rates and is performed at a particular point in time based on our existing balance sheet and, in some cases, expected future business growth and funding mix assumptions. The strategic actions that management may take to manage our balance sheet may differ significantly from our projections, which could cause our actual earnings and economic value of equity sensitivities to differ substantially from the above sensitivity analysis.
For further information on our interest rate exposures, see “Part I—Item 1. Financial Statements—Note 9—Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.”

Capital One Financial Corporation (COF) | |||||||
Foreign Exchange Risk
Foreign exchange risk represents exposure to changes in the values of current holdings and future cash flows denominated in other currencies. We are exposed to foreign exchange risk primarily from the intercompany funding denominated in pound sterling (“GBP”) and the Canadian dollar (“CAD”) that we provide to our businesses in the U.K. and Canada and net equity investments in those businesses. We are also exposed to foreign exchange risk due to changes in the dollar-denominated value of future earnings and cash flows from our foreign operations and from our Euro (“EUR”)-denominated borrowings.
Our non-dollar denominated intercompany funding and EUR-denominated borrowings expose our earnings to foreign exchange transaction risk. We manage these transaction risks by using forward foreign currency derivatives and cross-currency swaps to hedge our exposures. We measure our foreign exchange transaction risk exposures by applying a 1% U.S. dollar appreciation shock against the value of the non-dollar denominated intercompany funding and EUR-denominated borrowings and their related hedges, which shows the impact to our earnings from foreign exchange risk. Our nominal intercompany funding outstanding was 1.4 billion GBP and 1.3 billion GBP as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, and 1.1 billion CAD and 1.4 billion CAD as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Our nominal EUR-denominated borrowings outstanding were 503 million EUR and 505 million EUR as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
Certain non-dollar equity investments in foreign operations expose our balance sheet and capital ratios to translation risk in AOCI. We manage our translation risk by entering into foreign currency derivatives designated as net investment hedges. We measure these exposures by applying a 30% U.S. dollar appreciation shock, which we believe approximates a significant adverse shock over a one-year time horizon, against the value of the equity invested in our foreign operations net of related net investment hedges where applicable. Our gross equity exposures in our U.K. and Canadian operations were 2.3 billion GBP and 2.2 billion GBP as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, and 2.8 billion CAD and 2.6 billion CAD as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
As a result of our derivative management activities, we believe our net exposure to foreign exchange risk is minimal. For m
ore information, see “
Part I—Item 1. Financial Statements—Note 9—Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” and “Part I—Item 1. Financial Statements—Note 10—Stockholders’ Equity.”
Risk Related to Customer Accommodation Derivatives
We offer interest rate, commodity and foreign currency derivatives as an accommodation to our customers within our Commercial Banking business. We offset the majority of the market risk of these customer accommodation derivatives by entering into offsetting derivatives transactions with other counterparties. We use value-at-risk (“VaR”) as the primary method to measure the market risk in our customer accommodation derivative activities on a daily basis. VaR is a statistical risk measure used to estimate the potential loss from movements observed in the recent market environment. We employ a historical simulation approach using the most recent 500 business days and use a 99% confidence level and a holding period of one business day. As a result of offsetting our customer exposures with other counterparties, we believe that our net exposure to market risk in our customer accommodation derivatives is minimal. For further information on our risk related to customer accommodation derivatives, see “Part I—Item 1. Financial Statements—Note 9—Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.”

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures
The following non-GAAP measure consists of our adjusted results that we believe helps investors and users of our financial information understand the effect of adjusting items on our selected reported results; however, it may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures reported by other companies. This adjusted result provides alternate measurements of our operating performance, both for the current period and trends across multiple periods. The following table presents reconciliations of the non-GAAP measure to the applicable amounts measured in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The non-GAAP measure below should not be viewed as a substitute for reported results determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

We consider these metrics to be key financial performance measures that management uses in assessing capital adequacy and the level of returns generated. While these non-GAAP measures are widely used by investors, analysts and bank regulatory agencies to assess the capital position of financial services companies, they may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures reported by other companies. The following table presents reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to the applicable amounts measured in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These non-GAAP measures should not be viewed as a substitute for reported results determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

| NOTE 1—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | ||
The Company
Capital One Financial Corporation, a Delaware corporation established in 1994 and headquartered in McLean, Virginia, is a diversified financial services holding company with banking and non-banking subsidiaries. Capital One Financial Corporation and its subsidiaries (the “Company” or “Capital One”) offer a broad array of financial products and services to consumers, small businesses and commercial clients through digital channels, branch locations, cafés and other distribution channels.
As of September 30, 2025, Capital One Financial Corporation’s principal operating subsidiary was Capital One, National Association (“CONA”). On May 18, 2025 (the “Closing Date”), Discover Financial Services (“Discover”) merged into Capital One and Discover Bank merged into CONA. See “Note 2—Business Combinations and Discontinued Operations” for additional information. The Company is hereafter collectively referred to as “we,” “us” or “our.” CONA is referred to as the “Bank.”
We offer credit cards, debit cards, bank lending, treasury management and depository services, auto loans, and other consumer lending products in markets across the U.S. We service banking customer accounts through digital channels and our network of branch locations, cafés, call centers and automated teller machines (“ATMs”). Additionally, through the acquisition of Discover, we acquired new products including personal loans as well as the Discover Network, the PULSE Network, Diners Club International (“Diners Club”) and Network Partners (collectively, the “Global Payment Network”). The Discover Network processes transactions for credit and debit cards issued on its network and provides payment transaction processing and settlement services. The PULSE Network operates an electronic funds transfer network, providing financial institutions issuing debit cards on the PULSE Network with access to ATMs domestically and internationally, as well as merchant acceptance throughout the U.S. for debit card transactions. Diners Club is a global payments network of licensees, which are generally financial institutions, that issue Diners Club-branded charge cards and/or provide card acceptance services. We also have agreements with a number of financial institutions, financial technology firms, networks, network-to-network partners and other commercial service providers (collectively, “Network Partners”) for the provision of card issuing, payments processing and related services on the Global Payment Network.
We also offer credit card products and certain other services outside of the U.S. through Capital One (Europe) plc (“COEP”), an indirect subsidiary of CONA organized and located in the United Kingdom (“U.K.”), and through a branch of CONA in Canada. Both COEP and our Canadian branch of CONA have the authority to provide credit card loans. In addition, we offer Global Payment Network services globally.
Our principal operations are organized for management reporting purposes into
three
major business segments, which are defined primarily based on the products and services provided or the types of customer served: Credit Card, Consumer Banking and Commercial Banking. We provide details on our business segments, the integration of any recent material acquisitions into our business segments, and the allocation methodologies and accounting policies used to derive our business segment results in “Note 13—Business Segments and Revenue from Contracts with Customers.”
Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates
These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements, and related notes thereto, included in Capital One Financial Corporation’s 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K (“2024 Form 10-K”). We have described relevant updates to the significant accounting policies presented in 2024 Form 10-K below. Such updates are primarily a result of the Transaction (as defined below).
|

|
Capital One Financial Corporation (COF) | |||||||
Discount and Interchange Income
Discount and interchange income represents the amounts we earn and retain from transactions between cardholders and merchants on credit and debit card products. Contractually defined per-transaction fee amounts typically apply to each type of transaction processed. We recognize discount and interchange income upon settlement.
Discount income represents the amount we charge merchants with whom we have entered into card acceptance agreements for processing credit card purchase transactions. We stand ready to process payment transactions as and when a transaction is presented.
Generally, interchange income is earned from two sources. We earn acquirer interchange income primarily from merchant acquirers on Discover Network, Diners Club and PULSE Network transactions made by credit and debit card customers at merchants with whom merchant acquirers have entered into card acceptance agreements for processing payment card transactions. Under these agreements, we stand ready to process payment transactions as and when each is presented. We also earn interchange income as a card issuer in the form of a fee for standing ready to authorize and providing settlement on credit and debit card transactions processed through the Mastercard
®
(“Mastercard”) and Visa
®
(“Visa”) interchange networks. The levels and structure of interchange rates we earn as a card issuer are set by Mastercard and Visa and can vary based on cardholder purchase volumes, among other factors.
We pay issuer interchange to card issuing entities that have entered into contractual arrangements to issue cards on the Discover Network and on certain transactions on the Diners Club and PULSE networks. This cost is contractually established and is based on the card issuing organization’s transaction volume. We present this cost as a reduction of discount and interchange income. We accrue for the cost at the time each underlying card transaction is captured for settlement. See “Note 13—Business Segments and Revenue from Contracts with Customers” for additional details.
Other Intangible Assets
Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized on either an accelerated or straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives and are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. Intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives are not amortized, but are tested for impairment annually or more frequently if adverse circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value. See “Note 7—Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” for additional information.
Income Taxes
Our effective tax rate in the third quarter of 2025 was computed utilizing the
annual method.
We changed our methodology from the year-to-date method utilized in the second quarter of 2025 due to the return of the proportional relationship between our tax provision, tax credit investments and pre-tax income.

| NOTE 2—BUSINESS COMBINATIONS AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS | ||
Discover Acquisition
On February 19, 2024, the Company entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Capital One, Discover, a Delaware corporation and Vega Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”). On May 18, 2025, the Company closed the acquisition of Discover, pursuant to which (i) Merger Sub merged with and into Discover, with Discover as the surviving entity in the merger (the “Merger”); (ii) immediately following the Merger, Discover, as the surviving entity, merged with and into Capital One, with Capital One as the surviving entity in the second-step merger (the “Second Step Merger”); and (iii) immediately following the Second Step Merger, Discover Bank, a Delaware-chartered and wholly owned subsidiary of Discover, merged with and into CONA, with CONA as the surviving entity in the merger (the “CONA Bank Merger,” and collectively with the Merger and Second Step Merger, the “Transaction”). The Transaction enables the Company to leverage its newly acquired networks, customer base, technology, and data ecosystem to drive value for merchants, consumers, and small businesses.
Upon closing, each share of common stock of Discover outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, other than certain shares held by Discover or Capital One, was converted into the right to receive
1.0192

Series P was fully redeemed on June 30, 2025. See “Item 2. MD&A—Capital Management” for additional information.
The Company reissued
256,497,213
shares of treasury stock valued at $
50.6
billion as of the Closing Date to holders of Discover common stock, issued the
10,700
shares of Series O and Series P preferred stock described in the table above to holders of Discover preferred stock valued at $
1.1
billion, and exchanged Discover stock-based compensation awards for Capital One replacement awards with a Closing Date value of $
136
million, representing total purchase consideration of $
51.8
billion.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, we incurred $
348
million and $
757
million, respectively, of integration expenses related to the Transaction. The integration expenses are primarily driven by salaries and associate benefits and professional services, along with $
124
million of acquisition-related expenses incurred as of the Closing Date. Integration expenses are included within operating expense in our consolidated statements of income. Since the announcement of the Transaction in the first quarter of 2024, we have incurred $
991
million of integration expenses as of September 30, 2025.
We accounted for the Transaction as a business combination in accordance with Topic 805, Business Combinations, with the Company as the accounting acquirer. Accordingly, we recorded the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their respective fair values as of the Closing Date, unless otherwise required. The determination of fair value requires management to make estimates about discount rates, future expected cash flows, market conditions and other future

events that are subjective in nature and subject to change. Fair value estimates related to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are subject to adjustment for up to one year after the Closing Date as additional information becomes available (the “Measurement Period”). The Company’s purchase consideration allocation is considered preliminary as certain estimates related to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are subject to continuing refinement. Valuations subject to refinement include, but are not limited to, loans, intangible assets, deposits and certain other assets and liabilities.
The following Tables 2.2 through 2.5 present the preliminary allocation of the purchase consideration to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the Closing Date. The amounts below reflect Measurement Period adjustments made during the third quarter of 2025, which primarily included a $
600
million decrease in intangible assets, a $
109
million decrease in premises and equipment, a $
148
million decrease in deferred tax liabilities and a $
536
million increase to goodwill.

Charge-offs exclude $

Purchased loans were evaluated to determine if, at the time of purchase, the loans had experienced a more-than-insignificant deterioration in credit quality since origination. In evaluating PCD loans, we considered a variety of factors including but not limited to delinquency, loan modification, revocation of revolving privileges and other qualitative factors that indicate deterioration in credit quality. Contractual rights to collect on recoveries of loans charged off by Discover were also considered in scope of the PCD accounting model.
Subsequent to the closing of the Transaction, in the second quarter of 2025, we recorded an allowance for credit losses for non-PCD loans of $
8.8
billion through the provision for credit losses in accordance with ASC 326.

Goodwill has been preliminarily allocated to the Credit Card ($
6.8
billion) and Other Consumer Banking ($
7.0
billion) reporting units. As the Company continues to evaluate the underlying inputs and assumptions that are being used in the fair value estimates of net assets acquired, we may obtain additional information during the Measurement Period that may result in changes to the preliminary estimate of fair value of net assets acquired, preliminary goodwill, and the allocation of preliminary goodwill to our reporting units.
The following is a description of the methods used to determine the fair values of the significant assets acquired and liabilities assumed.
Cash and cash equivalents and Restricted cash for securitization investors:
The carrying amount of these assets was a reasonable estimate of fair value based on the short-term nature of these assets, with the exception of certain securities maturing in less than 90 days from the Closing Date, which followed the same fair value methodology as Investment Securities.
Investment Securities:
Fair values for investment securities were based on quoted market prices, where available. If quoted market prices were not available, fair value estimates were based on observable inputs including quoted market prices for similar instruments, quoted market prices that were not in an active market or other inputs that were observable in the market. In the absence of observable inputs, fair value was estimated based on pricing models and/or discounted cash flow methodologies. This fair value methodology is consistent with that described in “Note 12—Fair Value Measurement” for our investment securities portfolio.
Loans:
Fair values for loans held for investment were based on a discounted cash flow methodology that considered credit loss expectations, market interest rates and other market factors from the perspective of a market participant. Loans were grouped together according to similar characteristics when applying various valuation assumptions. The probability of default, loss given default and prepayment assumptions were the key factors driving credit losses which were embedded into the estimated cash flows. These assumptions were informed by internal data on loan characteristics, historical loss experience, and market data. The interest component of the estimate was determined by discounting interest and principal cash flows through the life of each loan. The discount rates used for loans reflect market participants' considerations of prepayment, default, market, liquidity and other risk associated with the portfolio.
Interest Receivable:
The fair value of interest receivable approximated its carrying amount due to the short-term nature of the receivable.
Intangible assets:
The intangible assets identified in the Transaction include purchased credit card relationships, the Discover Network, brand/trade names, network and financial partner relationships and a core deposit intangible. All intangible assets were valued using an income approach under which future cash flows for each intangible asset were forecasted, tax-effected and then discounted using an appropriately risk-adjusted discount rate. A description of each intangible asset, along with the key inputs used in its valuation, is provided below:
•
Purchased credit card relationships:
represent the value of future activity from existing credit card relationships over their expected lives. The fair value was estimated utilizing the multi-period excess earnings method, a type of the income approach. The key inputs into the valuation included projected future finance charge and fee income using
|
90
|
Capital One Financial Corporation (COF) | |||||||
assumptions of cardholder activity, relevant operating costs for managing these relationships, attrition based on cardholder account retention levels, contributory asset charges reflective of the other assets of the business that are required to generate these cash flows, a discount rate determined based on the estimated cost of equity, risk-free return rate and risk premium for the market and the specific risk profile of the intangible asset relative to the other assets acquired and the overall business, and the tax rate reflective of the jurisdictions in which the Company operates.
•
Network and financial partner relationships:
represent the value associated with the economics generated by the existing third-party partners, including third-party issuers of PULSE debit cards. The fair value was estimated utilizing the multi-period excess earnings method, a type of the income approach. The key inputs into the valuation included cash flow forecasts derived from revenue attributable to the partner relationships less applicable operating costs, attrition based on customer retention levels, the discount rate determined based on the estimated cost of equity, risk-free return rate and risk premium for the market and the specific risk profile of the respective intangible assets relative to the other assets acquired and the overall business, and the tax rate reflective of the jurisdictions in which the Company operates.
•
Core deposit:
represents the economics associated with the favorable funding spread between the acquired core deposit base and alternative sources of funding. The fair value was estimated utilizing the cost savings method, a type of the income approach. The key inputs into the valuation included attrition based on customer retention levels, alternative cost of funds at the time of acquisition, expected balance inflation over time, the discount rate determined based on the estimated cost of equity, risk-free return rate and risk premium for the market and the specific risk profile of the intangible asset relative to the other assets acquired and the overall business, and the tax rate reflective of the jurisdictions in which the Company operates.
•
Discover Network:
represents the value associated with the economics generated by the proprietary payment network, including any expected synergies. The fair value was estimated utilizing the multi-period excess earnings method, a type of the income approach. The key inputs into the valuation included the cash flow forecast derived from projected future revenues and costs associated with the network (inclusive of any synergies), contributory asset charges reflective of the other assets that are required in order for the network to generate these projected cash flows, a discount rate determined based on the estimated cost of equity, risk-free return rate and risk premium for the market and the specific risk profile of the intangible asset relative to the other assets acquired and the overall business, and the tax rate reflective of the jurisdictions in which the Company operates.
•
Brand/Trade names
: represent the economic benefits of the ability to generate revenue based on the value of the trade names, which include the Discover, Diners Club and PULSE brands. The fair value for each was estimated utilizing the relief-from-royalty-method, a type of the income approach. The key inputs into the valuation included assumed royalty rates based on market transactions, cash flow forecasts derived from revenue attributable to each trade name, a discount rate determined based on the estimated cost of equity, risk-free return rate and risk premium for the market and the specific risk profile of the respective intangible assets relative to the other assets acquired and the overall business, and the tax rate reflective of the jurisdictions in which the Company operates.
Interest-bearing deposits
: The fair value of the time deposits was determined using a discounted cash flow model, whereby the expected cash flows associated with these time deposits were discounted at a market rate. The carrying amount of savings deposits, money market accounts, and other interest-bearing deposits approximated their fair values.
Securitized debt obligations:
Senior and subordinated notes
; and
Other borrowings
: Fair values for securitized debt obligations, senior and subordinated notes, and other borrowings were based on quoted market prices, where available. If a market price was not available, valuations were based on quoted prices of comparable instruments. If neither approach was available, a discounted cash flow analysis was used, incorporating prevailing borrowing rates for similar financial instruments.

Discontinued Operations
In the second quarter of 2025, the Board of Directors approved a plan to exit the Discover Home Loan business acquired as a part of the Transaction. The Home Loan business includes the origination and servicing of conventional mortgage refinance and home equity loans that are single family, owner occupied, closed-end with fixed interest rates, terms and payments, and are secured by a first or second lien. During the third quarter of 2025, the Company stopped originations of home loan products. We are actively marketing the business and are in the process of identifying potential buyers, with the sale expected to close within one year. As a result, the assets and liabilities of the Home Loan business have been classified as held for sale and are reported as assets of discontinued operations and liabilities of discontinued operations on the consolidated balance sheets, along with any associated hedges. The results of the Home Loan business, including any associated hedges, have been accounted for as discontinued operations and are reported as income or loss from discontinued operations, net of tax, on the consolidated statement of income.

Maturities and Yields of Investment Securities
The table below summarizes, as of September 30, 2025, the fair value of our investment securities by major security type and contractual maturity as well as the total fair value, amortized cost and weighted-average yields of our investment securities by contractual maturity. Since borrowers may have the right to call or prepay certain obligations, the expected maturities of our securities are likely to differ from the scheduled contractual maturities presented below. The weighted-average yield below represents the effective yield for the investment securities presented on a pre-tax basis and is calculated based on the amortized cost of each security, inclusive of the contractual coupon, the impact of any premium amortization or discount accretion and any hedge accounting relationships.

Credit Quality Indicators
We closely monitor economic conditions and loan performance trends to assess and manage our exposure to credit risk. We discuss these risks and our credit quality indicator for each portfolio segment below.
Credit Card
Our Credit Card segment is highly diversified across millions of accounts and numerous geographies without significant individual exposure. We therefore generally manage credit risk based on portfolios with common risk characteristics. The risk in our Credit Card segment correlates to broad economic trends, such as the U.S. unemployment rate and U.S. Real Gross Domestic Product growth rate, as well as consumers’ financial condition, all of which can have a material effect on credit performance. The key indicator we assess in monitoring the credit quality and risk of our Credit Card segment is delinquency trends, including an analysis of loan migration between delinquency categories over time.
The tables below present our Credit Card segment by delinquency status as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

Consumer Banking
Our Consumer Banking segment consists of auto and retail banking loans. Similar to our Credit Card segment, the risk in our Consumer Banking segment correlates to broad economic trends as well as consumers’ financial condition, all of which can have a material effect on credit performance. The key indicator we consider when assessing the credit quality and risk of our auto loan portfolio is borrower credit scores as they measure the creditworthiness of borrowers. Delinquency trends are the key indicator we assess in monitoring the credit quality and risk of our retail banking loan portfolio.
The table below presents loans held for investment in our Consumer Banking segment loans held for investment by credit quality indicator as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. We present our auto loan portfolio by Fair Isaac Corporation (“FICO”) scores at origination and our retail banking loan portfolio by delinquency status, which includes all past due loans, both performing and nonperforming.

Commercial Banking
The key credit quality indicator for our Commercial Banking segment is our internal risk ratings. We assign internal risk ratings to loans based on relevant information about the ability of the borrowers to repay their debt. In determining the risk rating of a particular loan, some of the factors considered are the borrower’s current financial condition, historical and projected future credit performance, prospects for support from financially responsible guarantors, the estimated realizable value of any collateral and current economic trends. The scale based on our internal risk rating system is as follows:
•
Noncriticized:
Loans that have not been designated as criticized, frequently referred to as “pass” loans.
•
Criticized performing:
Loans in which the financial condition of the obligor is stressed, affecting earnings, cash flows or collateral values. The borrower currently has adequate capacity to meet near-term obligations; however, the stress, left unabated, may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects at some future date.
•
Criticized nonperforming:
Loans that are not adequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or the collateral pledged, if any. Loans classified as criticized nonperforming have a well-defined weakness, or weaknesses, which jeopardize the full repayment of the debt. These loans are characterized by the distinct possibility that we will sustain a credit loss if the deficiencies are not corrected and are generally placed on nonaccrual status.
We use our internal risk rating system for regulatory reporting, determining the frequency of credit exposure reviews, and evaluating and determining the allowance for credit losses. Generally, loans that are designated as criticized performing and criticized nonperforming are reviewed quarterly by management to determine if they are appropriately classified/rated and whether any impairment exists. Noncriticized loans are generally reviewed, at least annually, to determine the appropriate risk rating. In addition, we evaluate the risk rating during the renewal process of any loan or if a loan becomes past due.
The following table presents loans held for investment for our Commercial Banking segment by internal risk ratings as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The internal risk rating status includes all past due loans, both performing and nonperforming.

Financial Difficulty Modifications to Borrowers
As part of our loss mitigation efforts, we may provide short-term (one to twelve months) or long-term (greater than twelve months) modifications to a borrower experiencing financial difficulty to improve long-term collectibility of the loan and to avoid the need for repossession or foreclosure of collateral.
We consider the impact of all loan modifications when estimating the credit quality of our loan portfolio and establishing allowance levels. For our Commercial Banking customers, loan modifications are also considered in the assignment of an internal risk rating.
For additional information on
financial difficulty modifications
(“FDMs”), see “Part II—Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data—Note 1—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in our 2024 Form 10-K.
The following tables present the major modification types, amortized cost amounts for each modification type and financial effects for all FDMs undertaken during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the tables include amounts of FDMs from the acquired Discover portfolio, including loans which were modified prior to the Closing Date.

Performance of Financial Difficulty Modifications to Borrowers
We monitor loan performance trends, including FDMs, to assess and manage our exposure to credit risk. See “Part II—Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data—Note 1—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in our 2024 Form 10-K for additional information on how the allowance for modified loans is calculated for each portfolio segment. FDMs are accumulated and the performance of each loan that received an FDM is reported on a rolling 12-month basis.
The following tables present FDMs over a rolling 12-month period by delinquency status as of September 30, 2025 and 2024. For the 12-month period ended September 30, 2025, the table includes amounts of FDMs from the acquired Discover portfolio, including loans which were modified prior to the Closing Date.

Subsequent Defaults of Financial Difficulty Modifications to Borrowers
FDMs may subsequently enter default. A default occurs if a FDM is either 90 days or more delinquent, has been charged off, or has been reclassified from accrual to nonaccrual status. Loans that entered a modification program while in default are not considered to have subsequently defaulted for purposes of this disclosure. The allowance for any FDMs that have subsequently defaulted is measured using the same methodology as the allowance for loans held for investment. See “Part II—Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data—Note 1—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in our 2024 Form 10-K for additional information.
The following table presents FDMs that entered subsequent default for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the tables include amounts of FDMs from the acquired Discover portfolio, including loans which were modified or entered subsequent default prior to the Closing Date.

Expected recoveries of amounts previously charged off or expected to be charged off are recognized within the allowance. Significant judgment is applied in our estimation of lifetime credit losses. When developing an estimate of expected credit losses, we use both quantitative and qualitative methods in considering all available information relevant to assessing collectibility. This may include internal information, external information, or a combination of both relating to past events, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Our estimate of expected credit losses includes a reasonable and supportable forecast period of one year and then reverts over a one-year period to historical losses at each relevant loss component of the estimate. Management will consider and may qualitatively adjust for conditions, changes and trends in loan portfolios that may not be captured in modeled results. These adjustments are referred to as qualitative factors and represent management’s judgment of the imprecision and risks inherent in the processes and assumptions used in establishing the allowance for credit losses.
We have unfunded lending commitments in our Commercial Banking business that are not unconditionally cancellable by us and for which we estimate expected credit losses in establishing a reserve. This reserve is measured using the same measurement objectives as the allowance for loans held for investment. We build or release the reserve for unfunded lending commitments through the provision for credit losses in our consolidated statements of income. The related reserve for unfunded lending commitments is included in other liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets.
See “Part II—Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data—Note 1—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in our 2024 Form 10-K for further discussion of the methodology and policies for determining our allowance for credit losses for each of our loan portfolio segments, as well as information on our reserve for unfunded lending commitments.

Credit Card Partnership Loss Sharing Arrangements
We have certain credit card partnership agreements that are presented within our consolidated financial statements on a net basis, in which our partner agrees to share a portion of the credit losses on the underlying loan portfolio. The expected reimbursements from these partners are netted against our allowance for credit losses. Our methodology for estimating reimbursements is consistent with the methodology we use to estimate the allowance for credit losses on our credit card loan receivables. These expected reimbursements result in reductions in net charge-offs and the provision for credit losses. See “Part II—Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data—Note 1—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in our 2024 Form 10-K for further discussion of our credit card partnership agreements.
The table below summarizes the changes in the estimated reimbursements from these partners for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.

| NOTE 6—VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES AND SECURITIZATIONS | ||
In the normal course of business, we enter into various types of transactions with entities that are considered to be variable interest entities (“VIEs”). Our primary involvement with VIEs is related to our securitization transactions in which we transfer assets to securitization trusts. We primarily securitize credit card and auto loans, which provide a source of funding for us and enable us to transfer a certain portion of the economic risk of the loans or related debt securities to third parties.
The entity that has a controlling financial interest in a VIE is referred to as the primary beneficiary and is required to consolidate the VIE.
Summary of Consolidated and Unconsolidated VIEs
The assets of our consolidated VIEs primarily consist of cash, loan receivables and the related allowance for credit losses, which we report on our consolidated balance sheets under restricted cash for securitization investors, loans held in consolidated trusts and allowance for credit losses, respectively. The assets of a particular VIE are the primary source of funds to settle its obligations. Creditors of these VIEs typically do not have recourse to our general credit. Liabilities primarily consist of debt securities issued by the VIEs, which we report under securitized debt obligations on our consolidated balance sheets. For unconsolidated VIEs, we present the carrying amount of assets and liabilities reflected on our consolidated balance sheets and our maximum exposure to loss. Our maximum exposure to loss is estimated based on the unlikely event that all of the assets in the VIEs become worthless and we are required to meet the maximum amount of any remaining funding obligations.
The tables below present a summary of VIEs in which we had continuing involvement or held a significant variable interest, aggregated based on VIEs with similar characteristics as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. We separately present information for consolidated and unconsolidated VIEs.

(3)
In certain investment structures, we consolidate a VIE which holds as its primary asset an investment in an unconsolidated VIE. In these instances, we disclose the carrying amount of assets and liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets as unconsolidated VIEs to avoid duplicating our exposure, as the unconsolidated VIEs are generally the operating entities generating the exposure. The carrying amount of assets and liabilities included in the unconsolidated VIE columns above related to these investment structures were $
2.8
billion of assets and $
1.1

(4)
Primarily consists of variable interests in companies that promote renewable energy sources and other equity method investments.
Securitization-Related VIEs
In a securitization transaction, assets are transferred to a trust, which generally meets the definition of a VIE. We engage in securitization activities as an issuer and an investor. Our primary securitization issuance activity includes credit card and auto securitizations, conducted through securitization trusts which we consolidate. Our continuing involvement in these securitization transactions mainly consists of acting as the primary servicer and holding certain retained interests. We also engage in securitization-related activity in our multifamily agency business, where we do not consolidate the securitization trusts employed in these transactions.
Credit Card and Auto Securitizations
We securitize a portion of our credit card receivables and auto loans which provides a source of funding for us. This is inclusive of the Discover credit card securitization program acquired in the Transaction. These securitizations involve the transfer of assets, including credit card receivables and auto loans, into securitization trusts. These trusts then issue debt securities collateralized by the transferred assets to third-party investors. We hold certain retained interests and continue to service the assets in these trusts. We consolidate these trusts because we are deemed to be the primary beneficiary as we have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the trusts, and the right to receive benefits or the obligation to absorb losses that could potentially be significant to the trusts.
|
118
|
Capital One Financial Corporation (COF) | |||||||
Multifamily Agency Securitization Activity
In our multifamily agency business, we originate multifamily commercial real estate loans and transfer them to GSEs who may, in turn, securitize them. We retain the related mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) and service the transferred loans pursuant to the guidelines set forth by the GSEs. We do not consolidate the securitization trusts employed in these transactions as we do not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of these securitization trusts. We exclude these VIEs from the tables within this note because we do not consider our continuing involvement with these VIEs to be significant as we either solely invest in securities issued by the VIE and were not involved in the design of the VIE or no transfers have occurred between the VIE and ourselves. Our maximum exposure to loss as a result of our involvement with these VIEs is the carrying value of the MSRs and investment securities on our consolidated balance sheets as well as our contractual obligations under loss sharing arrangements. See “Note 14—Commitments, Contingencies, Guarantees and Others” for information about the loss sharing agreements, “Note 7—Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” for information related to our MSRs associated with these securitizations and “Note 3—Investment Securities” for more information on the securities held in our investment securities portfolio.
Other VIEs
Affordable Housing Entities
As part of our community reinvestment initiatives, we invest in private investment funds that make equity investments in multifamily affordable housing properties, a majority of which are VIEs. We receive affordable housing tax credits for these investments. The activities of these entities are financed with a combination of invested equity capital and debt. We account for our investments in qualified affordable housing projects using the proportional amortization method, where costs of the investment are amortized over the period in which the investor expects to receive tax credits and other tax benefits, and the resulting amortization is recognized as a component of income tax expense attributable to continuing operations. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, we recognized amortization of $
515
million and $
527
million, respectively, and tax credits of $
605
million and $
671
million, respectively, associated with these investments within income tax provision. The carrying value of our equity investments in these qualified affordable housing projects was $
5.8
billion and $
5.3
billion as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. We are periodically required to provide additional financial or other support during the period of the investments. Our liability for these unfunded commitments was $
2.1
billion as of both September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 and is largely expected to be paid from 2025 to 2028.
For those investment funds considered to be VIEs, we are not required to consolidate them if we do not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of those entities. We record our interests in these unconsolidated VIEs in loans held for investment, other assets and other liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets. Our maximum exposure to these entities is limited to our variable interests in the entities which consisted of assets of approximately $
6.1
billion and $
5.5
billion as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The creditors of the VIEs have no recourse to our general credit and we do not provide additional financial or other support other than during the period that we are contractually required to provide it. The total assets of the unconsolidated VIE investment funds were approximately $
18.2
billion and $
18.1
billion as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
Entities that Provide Capital to Low-Income and Rural Communities
We hold variable interests in entities (“Investor Entities”) that invest in community development entities (“CDEs”) that provide debt financing to businesses and non-profit entities in low-income and rural communities. Variable interests in the CDEs held by the consolidated Investor Entities are also our variable interests. The activities of the Investor Entities are financed with a combination of invested equity capital and debt. The activities of the CDEs are financed solely with invested equity capital. We receive federal and state tax credits for these investments. We consolidate the VIEs in which we have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and where we have the obligation to absorb losses or right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. We consolidate other investments and CDEs that are not considered to be VIEs, but where we hold a controlling financial interest. The assets of the VIEs that we consolidated, which totaled approximately $
2.8
billion and $
2.6
billion as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, are reflected on our consolidated balance sheets in cash, loans held for investment, and other assets. The liabilities are reflected in other liabilities. The creditors of the VIEs have no recourse to our general credit. We have not provided additional financial or other support other than during the period that we are contractually required to provide it.

Other
We hold variable interests in other VIEs, including companies that promote renewable energy sources and other equity method investments. We are not required to consolidate these VIEs because we do not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact their economic performance. Our maximum exposure to these VIEs is limited to the investments on our consolidated balance sheets of $
1.1
billion and $
874
million as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The creditors of the other VIEs have no recourse to our general credit. We have not provided additional financial or other support other than during the period that we are contractually required to provide it.
Our renewable energy source equity investments subject to proportional amortization had a carrying value of $
728
million as of September 30, 2025. We are periodically required to provide additional financial or other support during the period of the investments. Our liability for these unfunded commitments was $
153
million as of September 30, 2025, and is expected to be paid from 2025 to 2034.
In addition, where we have certain lending arrangements in the normal course of business with entities that could be VIEs, we have excluded these VIEs from the tables presented in this note. See “Note 4—Loans” for additional information regarding our lending arrangements in the normal course of business.

| NOTE 8—DEPOSITS AND BORROWINGS | ||
Our deposits, which include checking accounts, money market deposits, negotiable order of withdrawals, savings deposits, time deposits, and sweep accounts represent our largest source of funding for our assets and operations. We also use a variety of other funding sources including short-term borrowings, senior and subordinated notes, securitized debt obligations and other borrowings. Securitized debt obligations are presented separately on our consolidated balance sheets, as they represent obligations of consolidated securitization trusts. Federal funds purchased and securities loaned or sold under agreements to repurchase, senior and subordinated notes and other borrowings, including FHLB advances, are included in other debt on our consolidated balance sheets.
Our total short-term borrowings generally consist of federal funds purchased, securities loaned or sold under agreements to repurchase and FHLB advances. Our long-term debt consists of borrowings with an original contractual maturity of greater than one year.
The following tables summarize the components of our deposits, short-term borrowings and long-term debt as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The carrying value presented below for these borrowings includes any unamortized debt premiums and discounts, net of debt issuance costs and fair value hedge accounting adjustments.

| NOTE 9—DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES | ||
Use of Derivatives and Accounting for Derivatives
We regularly enter into derivative transactions to support our overall risk management activities. Our primary market risks stem from the impact on our earnings and economic value of equity due to changes in interest rates and, to a lesser extent, changes in foreign exchange rates. We manage our interest rate sensitivity by employing several techniques, which include changing the duration and re-pricing characteristics of various assets and liabilities by using interest rate derivatives. We also use foreign currency derivatives to limit our earnings and capital exposures to foreign exchange risk by hedging certain exposures denominated in foreign currencies. We primarily use interest rate and foreign currency swaps to perform these hedging activities, but we may also use a variety of other derivative instruments, including caps, floors, options, futures and forward contracts, to manage our interest rate and foreign exchange risks. We designate these risk management derivatives as either qualifying accounting hedges or free-standing derivatives. Qualifying accounting hedges are further designated as fair value hedges, cash flow hedges or net investment hedges. Free-standing derivatives are economic hedges that do not qualify for hedge accounting.
We offer interest rate, commodity, foreign currency derivatives and other contracts as an accommodation to our customers within our Commercial Banking business. We enter into these derivatives with our customers primarily to help them manage their interest rate risks, hedge their energy and other commodities exposures, and manage foreign currency fluctuations. We offset the substantial majority of the market risk exposure of our customer accommodation derivatives through derivative transactions with other counterparties.
See below for additional information on our use of derivatives and how we account for them:
•
Fair Value Hedges:
We designate derivatives as fair value hedges when they are used to manage our exposure to changes in the fair value of certain financial assets and liabilities, which fluctuate in value as a result of movements in interest rates. Changes in the fair value of derivatives designated as fair value hedges are presented in the same line item in our consolidated statements of income as the earnings effect of the hedged items. We enter into receive-fixed, pay-float interest rate swaps to hedge changes in the fair value of outstanding fixed rate debt and deposits due to fluctuations in market interest rates. We also enter into pay-fixed, receive-float interest rate swaps to hedge changes in the fair value of fixed rate investment securities.
•
Cash Flow Hedges:
We designate derivatives as cash flow hedges when they are used to manage our exposure to variability in cash flows related to forecasted transactions. Changes in the fair value of derivatives designated as cash flow hedges are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”). Those amounts are reclassified into earnings in the same period during which the hedged forecasted transactions impact earnings and presented in the same line item in our consolidated statements of income as the earnings effect of the hedged items. We enter into receive-fixed, pay-float interest rate swaps and interest rate floors to modify the interest rate characteristics of designated credit card and commercial loans from floating to fixed in order to reduce the impact of changes in forecasted future cash flows due to fluctuations in market interest rates. We also enter into foreign currency forward contracts to hedge our exposure to variability in cash flows related to intercompany borrowings denominated in foreign currencies.
•
Net Investment Hedges:
We use net investment hedges to manage the foreign currency exposure related to our net investments in foreign operations that have functional currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Changes in the fair value of net investment hedges are recorded in the translation adjustment component of AOCI, offsetting the translation gain or loss from those foreign operations. We execute net investment hedges using foreign currency forward contracts to hedge the translation exposure of the net investment in our foreign operations under the forward method.
•
Free-Standing Derivatives:
Our free-standing derivatives primarily consist of our customer accommodation derivatives and other economic hedges. The customer accommodation derivatives and the related offsetting contracts are mainly interest rate, commodity and foreign currency contracts. The other free-standing derivatives are primarily used to economically hedge the risk of changes in the fair value of our commercial mortgage loan origination and purchase commitments as well as other interests held. Changes in the fair value of free-standing derivatives are recorded in earnings as a component of other non-interest income.

Derivatives Counterparty Credit Risk
Counterparty Types
Derivative instruments contain an element of credit risk that stems from the potential failure of a counterparty to perform according to the terms of the contract, including making payments due upon maturity of certain derivative instruments. We execute our derivative contracts primarily in over-the-counter (“OTC”) markets. We also execute interest rate and commodity futures in the exchange-traded derivative markets. Our OTC derivatives consist of both trades cleared through central counterparty clearinghouses (“CCPs”) and uncleared bilateral contracts. The Chicago Mercantile Exchange (“CME”), the Intercontinental Exchange (“ICE”), the LCH Group (“LCH”) and the Fixed Income Clearing Company - Mortgage Backed Securities Division (“FICC - MBSD”) are our CCPs for our centrally cleared contracts. In our uncleared bilateral contracts, we enter into agreements directly with our derivative counterparties.
Counterparty Credit Risk Management
We manage the counterparty credit risk associated with derivative instruments by entering into legally enforceable master netting agreements, where applicable, and exchanging collateral with our counterparties, typically in the form of cash or high-quality liquid securities. We exchange collateral in two primary forms: variation margin, which accounts for changes in market value due to daily market movements, and initial margin, which offsets the potential future exposure of a derivative.
We exchange variation margin and initial margin on bilateral derivatives in scope for uncleared margin rules.
The amount of collateral exchanged for variation margin is dependent upon the fair value of the derivative instruments as well as the fair value of the pledged collateral and will vary over time as market variables change. The amount of the initial margin exchanged is dependent upon (1) the calculation of initial margin exposure, as prescribed by (a) the U.S. prudential regulators’ margin rules for uncleared derivatives or (b) the CCPs for cleared derivatives and (2) the fair value of the pledged collateral; it will vary over time as market variables change. When valuing collateral, an estimate of the variation in price and liquidity over time is subtracted in the form of a “haircut” to discount the value of the collateral pledged. Our exposure to derivative counterparty credit risk, at any point in time, is equal to the amount reported as a derivative asset on our balance sheet. The fair value of our derivatives is adjusted on an aggregate basis to take into consideration the effects of legally enforceable master netting agreements and any associated collateral received or pledged. See Table 9.3 for our net exposure associated with derivatives.
The terms under which we collateralize our exposures differ between cleared exposures and uncleared bilateral exposures.
•
CCPs
: We clear eligible OTC derivatives with CCPs as part of our regulatory requirements. We also clear exchange-traded instruments, like futures, with CCPs. Futures commission merchants (“FCMs”) serve as the intermediary between CCPs and us. CCPs require that we post initial and variation margin through our FCMs to mitigate the risk of non-payment or default. Initial margin is required by CCPs as collateral against potential losses on our exchange-traded and cleared derivative contracts and variation margin is exchanged on a daily basis to account for mark-to-market changes in those derivative contracts. For CME, ICE, LCH and FICC - MBSD cleared OTC derivatives, variation margin cash payments are required to be characterized as settlements. Our FCM agreements governing these derivative transactions include provisions that may require us to post additional collateral under certain circumstances.
•
Bilateral Counterparties
: We enter into master netting agreements and collateral agreements with bilateral derivative counterparties, where applicable, to mitigate the risk of default. These bilateral agreements typically provide the right to offset exposure with the same counterparty and require the party in a net liability position to post collateral. Agreements with certain bilateral counterparties require both parties to maintain collateral in the event the fair values of uncleared derivatives exceed established exposure thresholds. Certain of these bilateral agreements include provisions requiring that our debt maintain a credit rating of investment grade or above by each of the major credit rating agencies. In the event of a downgrade of our debt credit rating below investment grade, some of our counterparties would have the right to terminate their derivative contract and close out existing positions.
|
125
|
Capital One Financial Corporation (COF) | |||||||
Credit Risk Valuation Adjustments
We record counterparty credit valuation adjustments (“CVAs”) on our derivative assets to reflect the credit quality of our counterparties. We consider collateral and legally enforceable master netting agreements that mitigate our credit exposure to each counterparty in determining CVAs, which may be adjusted due to changes in the fair values of the derivative contracts, collateral, and creditworthiness of the counterparty. We also record debit valuation adjustments (“DVAs”) to adjust the fair values of our derivative liabilities to reflect the impact of our own credit quality.
Balance Sheet Presentation
The following table summarizes the notional amounts and fair values of our derivative instruments as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, which are segregated by derivatives that are designated as accounting hedges and those that are not, and are further segregated by type of contract within those two categories. The total derivative assets and liabilities are adjusted on an aggregate basis to take into consideration the effects of legally enforceable master netting agreements and any associated cash collateral received or pledged. Derivative assets and liabilities associated with continuing operations are included in other assets and other liabilities, respectively, on our consolidated balance sheets, and their related gains or losses are included in operating activities as changes in other assets and other liabilities in the consolidated statements of cash flows.

Balance Sheet Offsetting of Financial Assets and Liabilities
Derivative contracts and repurchase agreements that we execute bilaterally in the OTC market are generally governed by enforceable master netting agreements where we generally have the right to offset exposure with the same counterparty. Either counterparty can generally request to net settle all contracts through a single payment upon default on, or termination of, any one contract. We elect to offset the derivative assets and liabilities under master netting agreements for balance sheet presentation where a right of setoff exists. For derivative contracts entered into under master netting agreements for which we have not been able to confirm the enforceability of the setoff rights, or those not subject to master netting agreements, we do not offset our derivative positions for balance sheet presentation.
The following table presents the gross and net fair values of our derivative assets, derivative liabilities, resale and repurchase agreements and the related offsetting amounts permitted under U.S. GAAP as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The table also includes cash and non-cash collateral received or pledged in accordance with such arrangements. The amount of collateral presented, however, is limited to the amount of the related net derivative fair values or outstanding balances; therefore, instances of over-collateralization are excluded.

(1)
Includes amortization benefit of $
23
million and $
49
million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, and amortization benefit of $
21
million and $
62
million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, related to basis adjustments on discontinued hedges.
(2)
Changes in fair values of cross-currency swaps attributable to changes in cross-currency basis spreads are excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness and recorded in other comprehensive income (“OCI”). The initial value of the excluded component is recognized in earnings over the life of the swap under the amortization approach.
(3)
See “Note 10—Stockholders’ Equity” for the effects of cash flow and net investment hedges on AOCI and amounts reclassified to net income, net of tax.
(4)
We recognized a gain of $
83
million and loss of $
63
million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, and loss of $
56
million and $
1
million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, on foreign exchange contracts reclassified from AOCI. These amounts were largely offset by the foreign currency transaction gains (losses) on our foreign currency denominated intercompany funding included in other non-interest income on our consolidated statements of income
.
|

|
Capital One Financial Corporation (COF) | |||||||
In the next 12 months, we expect to reclassify into earnings an after-tax loss of $
431
million recorded in AOCI as of September 30, 2025 associated with cash flow hedges of forecasted transactions. This amount will largely offset the cash flows associated with the forecasted transactions hedged by these derivatives. The maximum length of time over which forecasted transactions were hedged was approximately
9.5
years as of September 30, 2025. The amount we expect to reclassify into earnings may change as a result of changes in market conditions and ongoing actions taken as part of our overall risk management strategy.

The net impacts to our consolidated statements of income related to free-standing derivatives are presented below for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024. These gains or losses are recognized in other non-interest income on our consolidated statements of income.

| NOTE 11—EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE | ||
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per common share. Dividends and undistributed earnings allocated to participating securities and earnings per share are computed independently for each period. Accordingly, the sum of each quarterly amount may not agree to the year-to-date total.

| NOTE 12—FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT | ||
Fair value, also referred to as an exit price, is defined as the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The fair value accounting guidance provides a three-level fair value hierarchy for classifying financial instruments. This hierarchy is based on the markets in which the assets or liabilities trade and whether the inputs to the valuation techniques used to measure fair value are observable or unobservable. The fair value measurement of a financial asset or liability is assigned a level based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
| Level 1: | Valuation is based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. | |||||||
| Level 2: | Valuation is based on observable market-based inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. | |||||||
| Level 3: |
Valuation is generated from techniques that use significant assumptions not observable in the market. Valuation techniques include pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques.
|
|||||||
The accounting guidance for fair value measurements requires that we maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs in determining fair value. We consider all available information, including observable market data, indications of market liquidity and orderliness, and our understanding of the valuation techniques and significant inputs. Based upon the specific facts and circumstances of each instrument or instrument category, judgments are made regarding the significance of the observable or unobservable inputs to the instruments’ fair value measurement in its entirety. If unobservable inputs are considered significant, the instrument is classified as Level 3. The process for determining fair value using unobservable inputs is generally more subjective and involves a high degree of management judgment and assumptions. The accounting guidance provides for the irrevocable option to elect, on a contract-by-contract basis, to measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value at inception of the contract and record any subsequent changes in fair value in earnings.
The determination and classification of financial instruments in the fair value hierarchy is performed at the end of each reporting period. For additional information on the valuation techniques used in estimating the fair value of our financial assets and liabilities on a recurring basis, see “Part II—Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data—Note 17—Fair Value Measurement” in our 2024 Form 10-K.

Level 3 Recurring Fair Value Rollforward
The table below presents a reconciliation for all assets and liabilities of continuing operations measured and recognized at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024. Generally, transfers into Level 3 were primarily driven by the usage of unobservable assumptions in the pricing of these financial instruments as evidenced by wider pricing variations among pricing vendors and transfers out of Level 3 were primarily driven by the usage of assumptions corroborated by market observable information as evidenced by tighter pricing among multiple pricing sources.

Significant Level 3 Fair Value Asset and Liability Inputs
Generally, uncertainties in fair value measurements of financial instruments, such as changes in unobservable inputs, may have a significant impact on fair value. Certain of these unobservable inputs will, in isolation, have a directionally consistent impact on the fair value of the instrument for a given change in that input. Alternatively, the fair value of the instrument may move in an opposite direction for a given change in another input. In general, an increase in the discount rate, default rates, loss severity or credit spreads, in isolation, would result in a decrease in the fair value measurement. In addition, an increase in default rates would generally be accompanied by a decrease in recovery rates, slower prepayment rates and an increase in
liquidity spreads, and would lead to a decrease in the fair value measurement.

The following table presents the significant unobservable inputs used to determine the fair values of our Level 3 financial instruments on a recurring basis. We utilize multiple vendor pricing services to obtain fair value for our securities. Several of our vendor pricing services are only able to provide unobservable input information for a limited number of securities due to software licensing restrictions. Other vendor pricing services are able to provide unobservable input information for all securities for which they provide a valuation. As a result, the unobservable input information for the securities available for sale presented below represents a composite summary of all information we are able to obtain. The unobservable input information for all other Level 3 financial instruments is based on the assumptions used in our internal valuation models.

Weighted averages are calculated by using the product of the input multiplied by the relative fair value of the instruments.

Due to the nature of the various mortgage securitization structures in which we have retained interests, it is not meaningful to present a consolidated weighted average for the significant unobservable inputs.
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
We are required to measure and recognize certain assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis on the consolidated balance sheets. These assets are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances (for example, from the application of lower of cost or fair value accounting or when we evaluate for impairment).

As of September 30, 2025, other assets included investments accounted for under measurement alternative of $

million, and long-lived assets held for sale and right-of-use assets totaling $
5
million. As of December 31, 2024, other assets included investments accounted for under measurement alternative of $
71
million and repossessed assets of $
62
million.
In the above table, loans held for investment are generally valued based in part on the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral and the non-recoverable rate, which is considered to be a significant unobservable input. The non-recoverable rate ranged from
0
% to
63
%, with a weighted average of
23
%, and from
0
% to
61
%, wi
th a weighted average of
18
%, as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
The weighted average non-recoverable rate is calculated based on the estimated market value of the underlying collateral. The significant unobservable inputs and related quantitative information related to fair value of the other assets are not meaningful to disclose as they vary significantly across properties and collateral.
The following table presents total nonrecurring fair value measurements for the period, included in earnings, attributable to the change in fair value relating to assets that are still held at September 30, 2025 and 2024.

| NOTE 13—BUSINESS SEGMENTS AND REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS | ||
Our principal operations are organized into
three
major business segments, which are defined primarily based on the products and services provided or the types of customers served: Credit Card, Consumer Banking and Commercial Banking. The operations of acquired businesses have been integrated into or managed as a part of our existing business segments.
Certain activities that are not part of a business segment are included in the Other category, such as the management of our corporate investment portfolio and asset/liability positions performed by our centralized Corporate Treasury group and any residual tax expense or benefit beyond what is assessed to our business segments in order to arrive at the consolidated effective tax rate. The Other category also includes unallocated corporate expenses that do not directly support the operations of the business segments or for which the business segments are not considered financially accountable in evaluating their performance, such as certain restructuring charges, integration expenses, and certain liabilities incurred by Discover ahead of the Transaction and not attributable to ongoing operations.
The assets and liabilities related to the acquired Home Loan business are presented separately within assets of discontinued operations and liabilities of discontinued operations on the consolidated balance sheets, and the operating results have been reflected as discontinued operations for all periods presented. As such, the related results have been excluded from continuing operations and business segment results.
•
Credit Card:
Consists of our domestic consumer card lending, personal loans, domestic small business card lending and international card businesses in the U.K. and Canada.
•
Consumer Banking:
Consists of our deposit gathering and lending activities for consumers and small businesses, national auto lending and services offered by the Global Payment Network.
•
Commercial Banking:
Consists of our lending, deposit gathering, capital markets and treasury management services to commercial real estate and commercial and industrial customers. Our customers typically include companies with annual revenues between $
20
million and $
2
billion.
•
Other category:
Includes the residual impact of the allocation of our centralized Corporate Treasury group activities, such as management of our corporate investment portfolio, asset/liability management and oversight of our funds transfer pricing process, to our business segments. Accordingly, net gains and losses on our investment securities portfolio and certain trading activities are included in the Other category. The Other category also includes unallocated corporate expenses that do not directly support the operations of the business segments or for which the business segments are not considered financially accountable in evaluating their performance, such as certain restructuring charges and integration expenses related to the Transaction.
Basis of Presentation
Business Segment Reporting Methodology
The results of our business segments are intended to present each segment as if it were a stand-alone business. Our internal management and reporting process used to derive our segment results employs various allocation methodologies, including funds transfer pricing, to assign certain balance sheet assets, deposits and other liabilities and their related revenues and expenses directly or indirectly attributable to each business. Marketing expenses are included within non-interest expense and can be directly incurred by a business segment or indirectly incurred and allocated. Tot
al marketing expense was $
1.4
billion and $
4.0
billion for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, and $
1.1
billion and $
3.2
billion for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. Cre
dit Card marketing expense was $
1.2
billion and $
3.4
billion for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, and $
964
million and $
2.8
billion for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. Our funds transfer pricing process managed by our centralized Corporate Treasury group provides a funds credit for sources of funds, such as deposits generated by our Consumer Banking and
|
146
|
Capital One Financial Corporation (COF) | |||||||
Commercial Banking businesses, and a charge for the use of funds by each business. The allocation is unique to each business and is based on the composition of assets and liabilities. The funds transfer pricing process considers the interest rate and liquidity risk characteristics of assets and liabilities and off-balance sheet products. Periodically the methodology and assumptions utilized in the funds transfer pricing process are adjusted to reflect economic conditions and other factors, which may impact the allocation of net interest income to the businesses. Due to the integrated nature of our business segments, estimates and judgments have been made in allocating certain revenue and expense items. Transactions between segments are based on specific criteria or approximate market rates. We regularly assess the assumptions, methodologies and reporting classifications used for segment reporting, which may result in the implementation of refinements or changes in future periods. We provide additional information on the allocation methodologies used to derive our business segment results in “Part II—Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data—Note 18—Business Segments and Revenue from Contracts with Customers” in our 2024 Form 10-K.
Segment Results and Reconciliation
We may periodically change our business segments or reclassify business segment results based on modifications to our management reporting methodologies or changes in organizational alignment.
The following table presents our business segment results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, selected balance sheet data as of September 30, 2025 and 2024, and a reconciliation of our total business segment results to our reported consolidated income from continuing operations, loans held for investment and deposits.

Revenue from Contracts with Customers
The majority of our revenue from contracts with customers consists of discount and interchange fees, service charges and other customer-related fees, and other contract revenue. Discount and interchange fees are primarily from our Credit Card business and are recognized upon settlement with the interchange networks, net of rewards earned by customers. Service charges and other customer-related fees within our Consumer Banking business are primarily related to fees earned on consumer deposit accounts for account maintenance and various transaction-based services such as ATM usage, transaction processing services on the PULSE Network, as well as various participation and membership fees. Service charges and other customer-related fees within our Commercial Banking business are mostly related to fees earned on treasury management and capital markets services. Other contract revenue in our Credit Card business consists primarily of revenue from our merchant relationships. Other contract revenue in our Consumer Banking business consists primarily of revenue earned from services provided to auto industry participants. Revenue from contracts with customers is included in non-interest income in our consolidated statements of income.
The following table presents revenue from contracts with customers and a reconciliation to non-interest income by business segment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.

| NOTE 14—COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES, GUARANTEES AND OTHERS | ||
Commitments to Lend
Our unfunded lending commitments primarily consist of credit card lines, loan commitments to customers of our Credit Card, Commercial Banking and Consumer Banking businesses, as well as standby and commercial letters of credit. These commitments, other than credit card lines and certain other unconditionally cancellable lines of credit, are legally binding conditional agreements that have fixed expirations or termination dates and specified interest rates and purposes. The contractual amount of these commitments represents the maximum possible credit risk to us should the counterparty draw upon the commitment. We generally manage the potential risk of unfunded lending commitments by limiting the total amount of arrangements, monitoring the size and maturity structure of these portfolios and applying the same credit standards for all of our credit activities.
For unused credit card lines, we have not experienced and do not anticipate that all of our customers will access their entire available line at any given point in time. Commitments to extend credit other than credit card lines generally require customers to maintain certain credit standards. Collateral requirements and loan-to-value (“LTV”) ratios are the same as those for funded transactions and are established based on management’s credit assessment of the customer. These commitments may expire without being drawn upon; therefore, the total commitment amount does not necessarily represent future funding requirements.
We also issue letters of credit, such as financial standby, performance standby and commercial letters of credit, to meet the financing needs of our customers. Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by us to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party in a borrowing arrangement. Commercial letters of credit are short-term commitments issued primarily to facilitate trade finance activities for customers and are generally collateralized by the goods being shipped to the customer. These collateral requirements are similar to those for funded transactions and are established based on management’s credit assessment of the customer. Management conducts regular reviews of all outstanding letters of credit and the results of these reviews are considered in assessing the adequacy of reserves for unfunded lending commitments.
The following table presents the contractual amount and carrying value of our unfunded lending commitments as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The carrying value represents our reserve and deferred revenue on legally binding commitments.

These financial guarantees have expiration dates that range from 2026 to 2028 as of September 30, 2025.
Loss Sharing Agreements
Within our Commercial Banking business, we originate multifamily commercial real estate loans with the intent to sell them to the GSEs. We enter into loss sharing agreements with the GSEs upon the sale of these originated loans. Beginning January 1, 2020, we elected the fair value option on new loss sharing agreements entered into. Unrealized gains and losses are recorded in other non-interest income in our consolidated statements of income. For those loss sharing agreements entered into as of and prior to December 31, 2019, we amortize the liability recorded at inception into non-interest income as we are released from risk of having to make a payment and record our estimate of expected credit losses each period through the provision for credit losses in our consolidated statements of income.

Counterparty Settlement Guarantees
Diners Club and/or DFS Services LLC (on behalf of the PULSE Network) have entered into contractual relationships with certain international merchants, international ATM acquirers and international payment networks to retain counterparty exposure arising from failures of third parties to perform their financial payment or settlement obligations.
The maximum potential amount of future payments related to such contingent obligations is dependent upon the transaction volume processed between the time a potential counterparty defaults on its settlement and the time at which the Company disables the settlement of any further transactions for the defaulting party. The Company has certain contractual remedies to offset these counterparty settlement exposures, however, there is no limitation on the maximum amount the Company may be liable to pay. The actual amount of the potential exposure cannot be quantified as the Company cannot determine whether particular counterparties will fail to meet their settlement obligations. Counterparty settlement guarantees were not material for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025. The Company did not record a contingent liability in the consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2025.
Discover Network Merchant Chargeback Guarantees
The Company operates the Discover Network, issues payment cards and permits third parties to issue payment cards. The Company is contingently liable for certain transactions processed on the Discover Network in the event of a dispute between the payment card customer and a merchant. The contingent liability arises if the disputed transaction involves a merchant or merchant acquirer with whom the Discover Network has a direct relationship. If a dispute is resolved in the customer's favor, the Discover Network will credit or refund the disputed amount to the Discover Network card issuer, who in turn credits its customer's account. The Discover Network will then charge back the disputed amount of the payment card transaction to the merchant or merchant acquirer, where permitted by the applicable agreement, to seek recovery of amounts already paid to the merchant for payment card transactions. If the Discover Network is unable to collect the amount subject to dispute from the merchant or merchant acquirer, the Discover Network will bear the loss for the amount credited or refunded to the customer.
The maximum potential amount of obligations of the Discover Network arising from such contingent obligations is estimated to be the portion of the total Discover Network transaction volume processed to date for which timely and valid disputes may be raised under applicable law and relevant issuer and customer agreements. There is no limitation on the maximum amount the Company may be liable to pay to issuers. However, the Company believes that such amount is not representative of the Company's actual potential loss exposure based on the Company’s historical experience. The actual amount of the potential exposure cannot be quantified as the Company cannot determine whether the current or cumulative transaction volumes may include or result in disputed transactions.
Losses related to merchant chargebacks were not material for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025. The Company did not record any contingent liability in the consolidated financial statements for merchant chargeback guarantees as of September 30, 2025.
Discover-Related Consent Orders
Prior to the closing of the Transaction, Discover and Discover Bank and their respective subsidiaries were parties to certain enforcement actions. As a result of the Transaction, Capital One and CONA now have certain going-forward obligations with regard to these matters.
In December 2020, Discover entered into a consent order with the CFPB related to certain private student loan servicing practices (the “CFPB Order”). As part of the CFPB Order, Discover implemented a redress and compliance plan and paid a civil monetary penalty. Although Discover sold its student loan portfolio and ceased servicing student loans prior to the closing of the Transaction, the CFPB Order by its terms remains in effect until December 2030 for issues that occurred prior to the sale and transfer of servicing for the student loan portfolio.

On July 19, 2023, Discover disclosed that it had incorrectly classified certain credit cards into its highest merchant and merchant acquirer pricing tier (the “Card Product Misclassification”). On April 18, 2025, Discover and DFS Services LLC entered into a consent order with the Federal Reserve (the “Federal Reserve Order”) in connection with the Card Product Misclassification relating to, among other things, board governance, risk management and internal controls and requiring a civil money penalty, which was paid prior to the closing of the Transaction. Capital One and CONA have committed to satisfy the obligations of the Federal Reserve Order.
In addition, as a condition of the OCC’s approval of CONA’s application to acquire Discover Bank, CONA was required to provide a plan for supervisory non-objection, which detailed effective and sustainable corrective action and timelines to address the underlying root causes of any outstanding enforcement actions against Discover Bank and plans for remediation of harm, including the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) April 2025 orders relating to Card Product Misclassification, in which Discover Bank agreed to pay restitution of at least $1.2 billion to adversely affected merchants, merchant acquirers and other intermediaries and a civil money penalty. On September 15, 2025, CONA submitted the required plan to the OCC and the condition was terminated.
Litigation
In accordance with the current accounting standards for loss contingencies, we establish reserves for legal and regulatory related matters that arise from the ordinary course of our business activities when it is probable that a loss associated with a claim or proceeding has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. None of the amounts we currently have recorded individually or in the aggregate are considered to be material to our financial condition. Litigation claims and proceedings of all types are subject to many uncertain factors that generally cannot be predicted with assurance.
We are defendants or respondents in a number of evolving legal and regulatory matters. For certain matters, we are able to estimate reasonably possible losses above existing reserves, and for other matters, such an estimate is not possible at this time. Management’s current estimate of the reasonably possible future losses above our reserves for legal and regulatory matters as of September 30, 2025 is up to approximately $
300
million. Our reserve and reasonably possible loss estimates involve considerable judgment and reflect that there is significant uncertainty regarding numerous factors that may impact the ultimate loss levels. Notwithstanding our attempt to estimate a reasonably possible range of loss beyond our current accrual levels for some legal and regulatory matters based on current information, it is possible that actual future losses will exceed both the current accrual level and reasonably possible losses disclosed here. Given the inherent uncertainties involved in these matters and the very large or indeterminate damages sought in some of these, there is significant uncertainty as to the ultimate liability we may incur from these legal and regulatory matters and an adverse outcome in one or more of these matters could be material to our results of operations or cash flows for any particular reporting period.
Below we provide a description of potentially material legal and regulatory proceedings and claims.
Discover Card Product Misclassification
Discover and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a settlement agreement to resolve putative class actions filed on behalf of merchants allegedly affected by the Card Product Misclassification. The court granted preliminary approval of the settlement on July 30, 2025. The class action settlement and court-approved distribution of restitution will be the primary means through which restitution for the Card Product Misclassification is provided to affected parties, including to satisfy the restitution obligations under the FDIC and Federal Reserve consent orders, which are discussed in more detail above.
Discover was also named as a defendant in a putative class action on behalf of shareholders alleging securities and other claims based on the Card Product Misclassification, among other subjects. On March 31, 2025, the court dismissed the putative shareholder class action without prejudice, and on May 14, 2025 plaintiffs moved for leave to file an amended complaint. Discover was also subject to an SEC investigation into the Card Product Misclassification matter. We are cooperating with the investigation.
Interchange Litigation
In 2005, a putative class of retail merchants filed antitrust lawsuits against Mastercard and Visa and several issuing banks, including Capital One, seeking both injunctive relief and monetary damages for an alleged conspiracy by defendants to fix the level of interchange fees. The Visa and Mastercard payment networks and issuing banks entered into settlement and judgment sharing agreements allocating the liabilities of any judgment or settlement arising from all interchange-related cases.

Capital One Financial Corporation (COF) | |||||||
The lawsuits were consolidated before the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York for certain purposes and were settled in 2012. The class settlement, however, was invalidated by the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit in June 2016, and the suit was bifurcated into separate class actions seeking injunctive and monetary relief, respectively. In addition, numerous merchant groups opted out of the 2012 settlement.
The monetary relief class action settled for $
5.5
billion and was approved by the District Court in December 2019. The Second Circuit affirmed the settlement in March 2023, and it is final. Some of the merchants that opted out of the monetary relief class have brought cases, and some of those cases have settled and some remain pending. Visa created a litigation escrow account following its initial public offering of stock in 2008 that funds the portion of these settlements attributable to Visa-allocated transactions. Any settlement amounts based on Mastercard-allocated transactions that have not already been paid are reflected in our reserves. Visa and Mastercard reached a settlement with the injunctive relief class and filed a motion for preliminary approval, which was denied by the District Court in June 2024. The parties will continue to litigate unless a settlement is reached and approved.
Cybersecurity Incident
On July 29, 2019, we announced that on March 22 and 23, 2019 an outside individual gained unauthorized access to our systems. This individual obtained certain types of personal information relating to people who had applied for our credit card products and to our credit card customers (the “2019 Cybersecurity Incident”). As a result of the 2019 Cybersecurity Incident, we have been subject to numerous legal proceedings and other inquiries and could be the subject of additional proceedings and inquiries in the future.
We are named as a defendant in
4
putative consumer class action cases in Canadian courts alleging harm from the 2019 Cybersecurity Incident and seeking various remedies, including monetary and injunctive relief. The lawsuits allege breach of contract, negligence, violations of various privacy laws and a variety of other legal causes of action. In the second quarter of 2022, a trial court in British Columbia preliminarily certified a class of all impacted Canadian consumers except those in Quebec. The preliminary certification decision in British Columbia was appealed, with both parties contesting portions of the ruling. On July 4, 2024, the British Columbia Court of Appeal denied both parties’ appeals. In the third quarter of 2023, a trial court in Quebec preliminarily authorized a class of all impacted consumers in Quebec. This decision was also appealed and, on February 25, 2025, the Quebec Court of Appeal affirmed the trial court’s ruling. The final
two
putative class actions, both of which are pending in Alberta, are continuing in parallel, but currently remain at a preliminary stage.
Savings Account Litigation and Related Attorney General Litigation
On July 10, 2023, we were sued in a putative class action in the Eastern District of Virginia by savings account holders alleging breach of contract and a variety of other causes of action relating to our introduction of a new savings account product with a higher interest rate than existing savings account products (“Savings Account Litigation”). Since the original suit, we have also been sued in six similar putative class actions in federal courts in California, Illinois, Ohio, Virginia, New Jersey and New York. On March 20, 2024, we filed with the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation a motion to consolidate and transfer related actions to the Eastern District of Virginia. In June 2024, the Judicial Panel granted the motion and transferred the related actions to the Eastern District of Virginia. Plaintiffs filed a consolidated complaint on July 1, 2024, and the court set a trial date in July 2025. In November 2024, the court denied our motion to dismiss. In April 2025, the parties reached an agreement to settle the case and, in June 2025, the court granted preliminary approval of the settlement. The settlement fund is reflected in our reserves. On September 14, 2025, the New York Attorney General, on behalf of itself and 17 other state attorneys general, filed an amicus brief opposing the class action settlement. The court has scheduled a final approval hearing on the settlement on November 6, 2025.
On May 14, 2025, the New York Attorney General sued Capital One in the Southern District of New York alleging a variety of causes of action under New York and federal law based on factual allegations similar to those raised in the Multidistrict Litigation pending in the Eastern District of Virginia. On August 7, 2025, the case was transferred to the Eastern District of Virginia. Capital One filed a motion to dismiss on August 29, 2025, and the motion is now fully briefed and awaiting a ruling from the court.

Other Pending and Threatened Litigation
In addition, we are commonly subject to various pending and threatened legal actions relating to the conduct of our normal business activities. In the opinion of management, the ultimate aggregate liability, if any, arising out of all such other pending or threatened legal actions is not expected to be material to our consolidated financial position or our results of operations.
Deposit Insurance Assessments
On November 16, 2023, the FDIC finalized a rule to implement a special assessment to recover the loss to the Deposit Insurance Fund (“DIF”) arising from the protection of uninsured depositors in connection with the systemic risk determination announced on March 12, 2023, following the closures of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank. In December 2023, the FDIC provided notification that it would be collecting the special assessment at an annual rate of approximately 13.4 bps over eight quarterly collection periods, beginning with the first quarter of 2024 with the first payment due on June 28, 2024. In September 2025, the FDIC provided notification that the collection period will be extended an additional one quarter beyond the initial eight quarterly collection periods, at a lower rate. The special assessment base is equal to an insured depository institution’s estimated uninsured deposits reported on its Consolidated Reports of Condition and Income as of December 31, 2022 (“2022 Call Report”), adjusted to exclude the first $5 billion of uninsured deposits. We recognized $
289
million in operating expense in the fourth quarter of 2023 associated with the special assessment based on our 2022 Call Report, which was revised and refiled during 2023. As a result of updates from the FDIC related to our portion of the FDIC’s estimate of relevant DIF losses, we have recognized $
317
million of operating expenses related to the special assessment as of September 30, 2025.
On July 8, 2025, the FDIC invoiced CONA for additional special assessment fees and interest and asserted that CONA underreported its estimated uninsured deposits on the 2022 Call Report. CONA disagrees with the FDIC’s special assessment calculation. On September 10, 2025, CONA filed suit against the FDIC in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia seeking a declaratory judgment that CONA does not owe the disputed portion of the FDIC’s special assessment. While we cannot predict the outcome of this dispute with the FDIC, we estimate that the amount of reasonably possible additional special assessment fees above our existing accrual is approximately $
200
million. CONA has deposited collateral satisfactory to the FDIC related to the disputed additional assessment amounts that have been invoiced to date. The deposited collateral will remain in custody with a third party bank pending resolution of the dispute.
Finally, the ultimate amount of expenses associated with the special assessment will also be impacted by the finalization of the losses incurred by the FDIC in the resolutions of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Overview
We are required under applicable laws and regulations to maintain controls and procedures, which include disclosure controls and procedures as well as internal control over financial reporting, as further described below.
(a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures refer to controls and other procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our financial reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by SEC rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our CEO and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding our required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, we recognize that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and we must apply judgment in evaluating and implementing possible controls and procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As required by Rule 13a-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”), our management, including the CEO and CFO, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of September 30, 2025, the end of the period covered by this Report. Based upon that evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2025, at a reasonable level of assurance, in recording, processing, summarizing and reporting information required to be disclosed within the time periods specified by the SEC rules and forms.
(b) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
We regularly review our disclosure controls and procedures and make changes intended to ensure the quality of our financial reporting. As a result of the Transaction, we are in the process of incorporating Discover into our internal control over financial reporting. As permitted by the SEC, we have excluded the acquired business from our evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2025. See “Part I—Item 1. Financial Statements—Note 2—Business Combinations and Discontinued Operations” for further information. Other than those related to the Transaction, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the third quarter of 2025 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
