01—Abstract
Summary
Summary of the 8-K filed August 15, 2024. Cited figures are marked; the original filing is the authoritative source.
Capital One Financial Corporation (COF) furnished a Regulation FD monthly update on August 15, 2024, with credit metrics as of and for the month ended July 31, 2024.
The excerpt covers the Domestic Credit Card and Consumer Banking Auto portfolios. Domestic Card had $148.6 billiona in period-end loans held for investment and a net charge-off rate of 5.79% for the month, with $705 million in net charge-offs and 30+ day performing delinquencies of 4.28% ($6.4 billion). Auto had $74.7 billion in period-end loans, a 2.11% net charge-off rate ($131 million), a 5.97% 30+ day performing delinquency rate ($4.5 billion), and a 0.96% nonperforming loan rate ($715 million).
The most important disclosure for investors is the impact of the termination of the Walmart program agreement, effective May 21, 2024. Per the footnotes, this raised the Domestic Card net charge-off rate by 40 basis points in July 2024. Excluding this effect, the rate would have been 5.39%b.
Investors should therefore treat the reported 5.79%c as a non-recurring-style headwind to the underlying trend. This is a monthly data release and is furnished, not filed, so it is not incorporated into registration statements.
The excerpt is truncated and does not show the remaining segments, such as Commercial Banking or the total company figures, so the analysis here is limited to the portions provided. Investors should review the full exhibit for complete portfolio-level trends.

03—Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How much of the July 2024 Domestic Card charge-off rate was caused by the Walmart program termination?
According to the footnote, the termination of the Walmart program agreement, effective May 21, 2024, increased the Domestic Card net charge-off rate by 40 basis points in July 2024. Excluding this impact, the rate would have been 5.39% instead of 5.79%.
How are these metrics calculated?
Net charge-off rate equals annualized net charge-offs divided by average loans held for investment for the period. The 30+ day performing delinquency rate and nonperforming loan rate are calculated by dividing the respective period-end balances by period-end loans held for investment. Net charge-offs can be affected by recoveries, including debt sales.
Are Domestic Card loan balances in these figures inclusive of fees and finance charges?
Yes. Period-end and average loans held for investment for credit card include billed finance charges and fees. Billed amounts that prove uncollectible are recorded as a reduction in revenue and are not included in net charge-offs.
Does this filing include the full portfolio picture?
No. The provided excerpt shows only the Domestic Card and Consumer Banking Auto portfolios, and the table appears truncated. Other segments and total company figures are not included in the text provided, so investors should review the complete Exhibit 99.1.
Is this disclosure considered a formal SEC filing for liability purposes?
The information is furnished under Item 7.01 and is not deemed 'filed' for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. It is also not incorporated by reference into Securities Act or Exchange Act filings, and the company states it does not constitute an admission of materiality.
