Riverwoods, IL, July 17, 2024 - Discover Financial Services (NYSE: DFS) today reported net income of $1.5 billion or $6.06 per diluted share for the second quarter of 2024, as compared to a net income of $901 million or $3.54 per diluted share for the second quarter of 2023.

“Discover's fundamental operating performance remains very good, as shown by our loan growth, margin expansion and higher non-interest revenue in the quarter," said Michael Shepherd, Discover’s Interim CEO and President. "Additionally, we advanced several critical initiatives including entering into an agreement to sell our student loan assets, favorably resolving litigation in our Payment Services segment, and entering into a class action settlement agreement for the card misclassification matter.”

Segment Results

Digital Banking
Digital Banking pretax income of $1.8 billion for the quarter was $694 million higher than the prior year period reflecting a lower provision for credit losses and increased revenue net of interest expense partially offset by increased operating expenses.

Total loans ended the quarter at $127.6 billion, up 8% year-over-year, and up 1% sequentially. Credit card loans ended the quarter at $100.1 billion, up 7% year-over-year. Personal loans increased $1.2 billion, or 13%. Private student loans were down 1%, and were classified as held-for-sale as of June 30, 2024.

Net interest income for the quarter increased $347 million, or 11% year-over-year, driven by higher average receivables and net interest margin expansion. Net interest margin was 11.17%, up 11 basis points versus the prior year. Card yield was 15.99%, up 85 basis points from the prior year primarily driven by a lower promotional balance mix and lower payment rates, partially offset by higher interest charge-offs. Interest expense as a percent of total loans increased 71 basis points from the prior year period, primarily driven by higher funding costs.

Non-interest income increased $105 million, or 18% from the prior year period, reflecting higher net discount / interchange revenue from lower rewards costs, higher loan fee income, and higher transaction processing revenue. Other income increased due to a facility sale.

The total net charge-off rate was 4.83%, up 161 basis points from the prior year period and down 9 basis points from the prior quarter reflecting continued seasoning of recent vintages. The credit card net charge-off rate was 5.55%, up 187 basis points from



image2.jpg
the prior year period and down 11 basis points from the prior quarter. The 30+ day delinquency rate for credit card loans was 3.69%, up 83 basis points year-over-year and down 14 basis points from the prior quarter. The Personal loan net charge-off rate of 3.98% was up 170 basis points from the prior year and down 4 basis points from the prior quarter. Private Student loans net charge-off rate was 1.85%, up 60 basis points from the prior year and up 27 basis points from the prior quarter.

Provision for credit losses of $739 million decreased $566 million from the prior year quarter driven by an $869 million private student loan reserve release and a $281million lower reserve build, partially offset by a $598 million increase in net charge-offs.

Total operating expenses were up $324 million year-over-year, or 24%. Other expense was up reflecting a charge for expected regulatory penalties related to the card misclassification matter. Professional fees were higher primarily due to higher recovery fees and continued investment in compliance and risk management initiatives, and employee compensation increased driven by higher business technology resources.

Payment Services
Payment Services pretax income of $277 million was up $207 million year-over-year primarily driven by a favorable settlement of existing litigation where Discover was the plaintiff and higher PULSE transaction processing revenue.

Payment Services volume was $99.3 billion, up 11% from the prior year period. Discover Network volume was down 3% reflecting a slowdown in Discover card sales volume. PULSE dollar volume was up 18% driven by increased debit transaction volume. Diners Club volume was down 5% year-over-year as a result of lower volumes in India and Network Partners volume decreased 22% from the prior year due to lower AribaPay volume.
