What do charge-off and delinquency statistics indicate for investors?

Charge-off statistics show the percentage of loans deemed uncollectible, reflecting actual credit losses. Delinquency statistics indicate the percentage of loans where borrowers are behind on payments, which can be a leading indicator of future charge-offs and potential credit losses. Both are key indicators of credit risk and the health of the company's loan portfolio.

Is the information in Exhibit 99.1 considered 'filed' with the SEC?

No, the information furnished in Exhibit 99.1 under Item 7.01 is not deemed 'filed' for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This means Capital One is not subject to the liabilities associated with that section for this specific information, and it is not automatically incorporated into other SEC filings unless explicitly stated.

Where can I find the actual charge-off and delinquency numbers?

The specific charge-off and delinquency statistics for the month ended May 31, 2013, would be detailed within Exhibit 99.1, which is referenced in this 8-K filing. Investors would need to access the full filing, including its exhibits, to view these numerical data points.
