The earnings call highlighted Bread Financial's efforts to strengthen its capital position and reduce debt, while also acknowledging challenges such as declining revenue and increased net loss rates. Despite strategic partnerships and tangible book value growth, the financial results were impacted by moderating consumer spend and expenses from convertible notes repurchase.
Company Guidance
During the third quarter 2024 earnings call, Bread Financial provided guidance emphasizing responsible growth and strategic capital allocation. The company repurchased $262 million of convertible notes, which impacted GAAP results, but highlighted adjusted metrics such as $93 million in adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share of $1.83. The common equity Tier 1 capital ratio increased by 40 basis points year-over-year to 13.3%, and tangible book value per share grew by 12% year-over-year to $47.48. Bread Financial also reported a positive shift in its funding mix, with direct-to-consumer deposits accounting for 41% of average funding, up from 35% the previous year. Despite a 3% year-over-year decrease in credit sales to $6.5 billion, the company maintained a focus on mitigating potential impacts from regulatory changes, including the CFPB's rule on credit card late fees, and expressed confidence in achieving long-term financial objectives.
