What is the main purpose of this 8-K filing?

The main purpose of this 8-K filing is to furnish Capital One's monthly charge-off and delinquency metrics for the month ended December 31, 2022, to the public in accordance with Regulation FD.

Are the metrics in this report legally binding or subject to liability?

No, information furnished under Item 7.01 (Regulation FD Disclosure) is not deemed 'filed' for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and thus, the company is not subject to the liabilities of that Section for this information. It's intended for broad public disclosure.

What should investors look for in the charge-off and delinquency metrics?

Investors should monitor these metrics for trends. An increasing trend in charge-offs (loans unlikely to be repaid) or delinquencies (loans past due) could indicate rising credit risk and potential future losses for the company. Conversely, stable or decreasing trends suggest the company's loan portfolio is performing well.

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

The detailed charge-off and delinquency metrics for the month ended December 31, 2022, are provided in Exhibit 99.1, which is attached to this 8-K filing.

This report, furnished under Regulation FD, provides investors with a snapshot of the company's credit performance. While not considered 'filed' for liability purposes, these metrics are crucial for assessing the near-term health of Capital One's loan portfolio and its ability to manage credit risk, particularly in the context of prevailing economic conditions.
