Are the charge-off and delinquency statistics 'filed' with the SEC?

No, the information provided in Exhibit 99.1 is furnished under Regulation FD. This means it is not considered 'filed' for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and does not subject the company to the liabilities associated with such filings, though it is publicly disclosed.

What impact do charge-off and delinquency rates have on Capital One?

Charge-off and delinquency rates are key indicators of credit risk. Higher rates can lead to increased loan loss provisions, reduced net interest income, and lower overall profitability for Capital One. Conversely, stable or declining rates suggest good credit management and a healthy borrower base.

Where can I find the detailed charge-off and delinquency data?

The detailed statistics are provided in Exhibit 99.1, which is attached to this 8-K filing. Investors would need to access the full SEC filing document, typically through the SEC's EDGAR database or Capital One's investor relations website, to view this exhibit.
