Guidance and outlook

Forward-looking statements, 10-Q filed Nov 5, 2026

• Apple has vigorously contested the claims, and we expect it to continue doing so.
• In light of the uncertainty around these lawsuits, we will continue to carry these investments on our books at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes.
• As a result, the products we support are priced to reflect expected loss rates for our various risk categories.
• Subject to possible disruptions caused by the uncertain economic environment, we believe that our private label credit and general purpose credit card receivables are generating, and will continue to generate, attractive returns on assets, thereby facilitating debt financing under terms and conditions (including advance rates and pricing) that will support attractive returns on equity, and we continue to pursue…
• As our private label credit receivables growth is typically strongest during the second and third quarters of each year, we expect seasonal contraction in receivable acquisitions for that portfolio in other quarters.
• Growth in our general purpose credit card receivables is expected to continue throughout 2026 and to outpace growth in our private label credit receivables as we continue to expand our marketing efforts.
• We currently expect our private label credit receivable balance to increase modestly in 2026 as volumes of receivables acquisitions, for which we have limited loss exposure due to agreements with retail partners are expected to slow.
• We expect these changes to result in increased yield for this portfolio and result in additions to our Total operating revenue and other income in 2026 and beyond.
• Unless and/or until we grow the number of contractual servicing relationships we have with third parties or our current relationships grow their loan portfolios, we will not experience significant growth and income within this category.
• We will continue to carry the investments on our books at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes.
• We anticipate additional debt financing over the next few quarters as we continue to grow our receivables.
• As such, and when coupled with the interest expense associated with the acquired Mercury debt facilities, we expect our quarterly interest expense to increase compared to prior periods throughout 2026.
