"As we navigate this new environment, we remain acutely focused on the future of our business. During the quarter, we successfully launched an exciting new program with Verizon and extended several programs, while also adding new partnerships. We believe we have an advantageous position as the shift to digital has accelerated—we will continue to prioritize investments to augment our digital assets and capabilities to meet the rapidly evolving needs of our cardholders and partners."

Business and Financial Highlights for the Second Quarter of 2020*

Earnings

  • Net interest income decreased $759 million, or 18%, to $3.4 billion, mainly due to the Walmart consumer portfolio sale and impact of COVID-19.
  • Retailer share arrangements decreased $86 million, or 10%, to $773 million, reflecting the initial impact of  COVID-19 on program performance.
  • Provision for credit losses increased $475 million, or 40%, to $1.7 billion, mainly driven by the reserve increase for the projected impact of COVID-19 related losses and the prior year reserve reduction related to Walmart.
  • Other income increased $5 million, or 6%, to $95 million.
  • Other expense decreased $73 million, or 7%, mainly due to the cost reductions from Walmart, lower purchase volume and accounts as well as reductions in certain discretionary spend, partially offset by higher operational losses, expenses related to the COVID-19 response and charitable contributions.
  • Net earnings totaled $48 million compared to $853 million last year.

Balance Sheet

  • Period-end loan receivables decreased 4%, or 3% on a Core basis; purchase volume decreased 19%, or 13% on a Core basis; and average active accounts decreased 14%, or 5% on a Core basis.
  • Deposits decreased $1.5 billion, or 2%, to $64.1 billion and comprised 80% of funding.
  • The Company's balance sheet remained strong with total liquidity (liquid assets and undrawn credit facilities) of $28.0 billion, or 29.0% of total assets.
  • The Company has elected to defer the regulatory capital effects of CECL for two years; the estimated Common Equity Tier 1 ratio was 15.3% compared to 14.3%, and the estimated Tier 1 Capital ratio was 16.3% compared to 14.3%, reflecting the Company's strong capital generation capabilities. The estimated Tier 1 Capital ratio also reflects the $750 million preferred stock issuance in November 2019.

Key Financial Metrics

  • Return on assets was 0.2% and return on equity was 1.6%.
  • Net interest margin was 13.53%.
  • Efficiency ratio was 36.3%.

Credit Quality

  • Loans 30+ days past due as a percentage of total period-end loan receivables were 3.13% compared to 4.43% last year; excluding the Walmart consumer portfolio, the rate was down approximately 90 basis points compared to last year.
  • Net charge-offs as a percentage of total average loan receivables were 5.35% compared to 6.01% last year; excluding the Walmart consumer portfolio, the rate decreased approximately 20 basis points compared to last year.
  • The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of total period-end loan receivables was 12.52%.

Sales Platforms

  • Retail Card period-end loan receivables decreased 4%, driven primarily by the impact from COVID-19, partially offset by growth in digital partners. Interest and fees on loans decreased 22%, purchase volume decreased 17%, and average active accounts decreased 18%, driven primarily by the sale of the Walmart consumer portfolio and the decline in loan receivables.
  • Payment Solutions period-end loan receivables decreased 3%; period-end loan receivables increased 1% on a Core basis led by growth in Power, substantially offset by the impact from COVID-19. Interest and fees on loans decreased 8%, driven primarily by lower late fees. Purchase volume decreased 19% and average active accounts decreased 3%.
  • CareCredit period-end loan receivables decreased 5%, driven primarily by the impact from COVID-19, partially offset by growth in Veterinary. Interest and fees on loans decreased 4%, driven primarily by lower merchant discount as a result of the decline in purchase volume, which decreased 31%. Average active accounts decreased 2%.

* All comparisons are for the second quarter of 2020 compared to the second quarter of 2019, unless otherwise noted.
** Financial measures shown above on a Core basis are non-GAAP measures and exclude from both the prior year and the current year amounts related to the Walmart and Yamaha portfolios, sold in October 2019 and January 2020, respectively. See non-GAAP reconciliation in the financial tables.

(1) Tangible common equity ("TCE") is a non-GAAP measure. We believe TCE is a more meaningful measure of the net asset value of the Company to investors. For corresponding reconciliation of TCE to a GAAP financial measure, see Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures and Calculations of Regulatory Measures.

(2) Regulatory capital ratios at June 30, 2020 are preliminary and therefore subject to change.

(3) Capital ratios starting March 31, 2020 reflect election to delay for two years an estimate of CECL's effect on regulatory capital in accordance with the interim final rule issued by U.S. banking agencies in March 2020.

(4) Total risk-based capital ratio is the ratio of total risk-based capital divided by risk-weighted assets.

(5) Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio is the ratio of Tier 1 capital divided by risk-weighted assets.

(6) Tier 1 leverage ratio is the ratio of Tier 1 capital divided by total average assets, after certain adjustments. Tier 1 leverage ratios are based upon the use of daily averages for all periods presented.
