Bread Financial | July 27, 2023 1 "Strengthening our balance sheet remains fundamental to Bread Financial's business transformation and long-term strategy. I am pleased to report that we achieved another major milestone in the second quarter, reducing parent unsecured debt by more than $500 million, refinancing our term loan and revolving line of credit, and extending certain debt maturities, as well as delivering 23% growth in tangible book value versus the same period a year ago. Since 2020, we have reduced our long-term debt by 55%, paying down more than $1.7 billion and have more than tripled our TCE/TA ratio to 9.4%. Further, our direct-to- consumer deposits have grown $4.8 billion since the first quarter of 2020 to $6.0 billion and represent 33% of our total funding. Coupled with strong free cash flow generation, our balance sheet management actions enhance our financial resilience and provide additional flexibility for capital utilization, including supporting continued business growth, continued debt reduction, and future capital distribution," said Ralph Andretta, president and chief executive officer of Bread Financial. "We are pleased to announce we will provide a private label credit program for Dell t Technologies, a leading technology provider with the industry's broadest technology and services portfolio, as we further diversify our growing base of brand partners. The definitive agreement to acquire Dell's consumer credit portfolio is expected to close in the fourth quarter of this year, subject to customary closing conditions. The Dell Pay program will include a broad suite of payment solutions and expands our position in the consumer technology market. We will continue to leverage our deep financial services industry expertise, upgraded technology, and sophisticated data and analytics capabilities to drive value for our partners. "As macroeconomic uncertainty continues, we are closely monitoring the impact of persistent inflation and rising interest rates on the consumer. We have observed a moderation in overall consumer spending with payment rates returning to pre-pandemic levels, and have proactively adjusted our underwriting and credit management accordingly. As previously communicated, our second quarter net loss rate was elevated due to the impact of remaining favorable customer accommodations made last year following the transition of our credit card processing services. Delinquency trends remain in line with our expectation for an improved third quarter net loss rate. As I have noted before, our seasoned leadership team is experienced in responsibly managing through varied credit cycles and market conditions. We remain focused on responsible risk management and prudent capital management, and are confident in our strategic direction. "Bread Financial's business strategy is rooted in our commitment to make responsible decisions that drive sustainable, profitable growth and build long-term value for our stakeholders." - Ralph Andretta, president and chief executive officer Second quarter 2023 Year-to-date 2023 ($ in millions, except per share amounts) Total company Continuing operations Total company Continuing operations Net income $48 $64 $503 $519 Earnings per diluted share $0.95 $1.27 $10.02 $10.34 Bread Financial reports second quarter 2023 results CEO COMMENTARY COLUMBUS, Ohio, July 27, 2023 – Bread Financial Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: BFH), a tech-forward financial services company that provides simple, personalized payment, lending, and saving solutions, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2023. • Average credit card and other loans increased $649 million, or 4%, versus the second quarter of 2022. • Revenue increased $59 million, or 7%, versus the second quarter of 2022. • Delinquency rate of 5.5% and a net loss rate of 8.0%. As previously communicated, the second quarter net loss rate reflected an approximately 100 basis point impact from the June 2022 transition of our credit card processing services; absent this impact, the net loss rate would have been approximately 7%. • Tangible book value per share increased $7.24, or 23%, versus the second quarter of 2022. $17,652MM Average credit card and other loans $952MM Revenue 9.4% TCE/TA ratio $38.99 Tangible book value per share Exhibit 99.1


 
Bread Financial | July 27, 2023 2 2023 full year outlook • "Our 2023 full year outlook is updated to reflect slower sales growth as a result of strategic credit tightening and moderating consumer spending, which pressures loan growth and the net loss rate. • Macroeconomic assumptions: "Our outlook assumes a more challenging macroeconomic landscape with continued inflationary pressures. Our outlook continues to assume interest rate increases by the Federal Reserve will result in a nominal benefit to total net interest income. • Average loan growth: "Updated based on our new and renewed brand partner announcements, visibility into our pipeline, moderating consumer spending, strategic credit tightening actions, and the current economic outlook, we expect full year 2023 average credit card and other loans to grow low- to mid-single digits relative to 2022. • Total revenue: "Total revenue growth for 2023, excluding the gain on portfolio sale, is anticipated to be slightly above average loan growth, with a full year net interest margin similar to that of 2022. • Total expenses: "We anticipate an increase in full year total expenses versus 2022, although the pace of expense growth is projected to decelerate versus the 2022 rate. Expenses in the second half of 2023 are expected to be lower than the first half driven by lower intangible amortization expense and improved operating efficiencies. We remain focused on disciplined expense management as we adjust the pace and timing of our investments to align with our full year revenue and growth outlook. • Net loss rate: "We expect a net loss rate in the low-to-mid 7% range for 2023, inclusive of impacts from the 2022 transition of our credit card processing services, moderating consumer spending, our credit management actions, as well as continued pressure on consumers’ ability to pay due to persistent inflation. We remain confident in our long-term guidance of a through-the-cycle average net loss rate below our historical average of 6%. • Effective tax rate: "We expect our full year normalized effective tax rate to be in the range of 25% to 26%, with quarter-over-quarter variability due to the timing of certain discrete items." "Our second quarter financial results demonstrated continued financial resilience, highlighted by 7% year-over- year revenue growth driven by 4% growth in average loans. For the ninth consecutive quarter, PPNR grew year-over- year, albeit nominally this quarter, reflecting our ability to deliver sustainable, quality growth. As expected, second quarter net interest margin declined slightly versus the first quarter of 2023 due to a greater reversal of interest and fees related to higher losses in the quarter as well as seasonality. Expenses were lower sequentially as we effectively managed our costs, while continuing to invest in technology modernization, digital advancement, and product innovation, consistent with our business strategy. "We made great progress in the second quarter by further strengthening our balance sheet, including refinancing our term loan and revolving line of credit, completing our convertible notes offering, executing our tender offer, and receiving bank board approval for a $500 million dividend from the banks which facilitated debt reduction. We remain disciplined, building capital while improving our leverage ratios. Our direct-to-consumer deposit balances grew 43% versus the second quarter of 2022, with net inflows each week during the second quarter. "From a credit perspective, our second quarter results were in-line with our expectations as persistent inflation broadly impacted consumer spending, while the net loss rate primarily reflected timing-related effects of the customer accommodations made following the transition of our credit card processing services in June 2022. We expect a lower net loss rate in the second half of the year as we move past the impacts of these customer accommodations. We also continued to responsibly tighten underwriting and credit lines, leading to a slowing in loan growth. "Our reserve rate remained flat to the first quarter of 2023 at 12.3% as key macroeconomic indicators began showing signs of stability. We continue to maintain conservative economic scenario weightings in our credit reserve modeling and believe that with our conservative model assumptions, our loan loss reserve provides a margin of protection should we enter a more challenging macroeconomic environment. "We remain confident in our ability to deliver on our 2023 full year financial outlook and build on this success for the future." - Perry Beberman, executive vice president and chief financial officer CFO COMMENTARY

Bread Financial | July 27, 2023 4 Second quarter 2023 compared with second quarter 2022 – continuing operations • Credit sales were $7.1 billion for the second quarter of 2023, a decrease of $1.1 billion, or 13%, versus the second quarter of 2022, reflecting the sale of the BJ's Wholesale Club portfolio in late February 2023, credit tightening, and moderating consumer spending, partially offset by new partner growth. • Average and end-of-period credit card and other loans were $17.7 billion and $18.0 billion, respectively, up 4% and 1%, respectively. These increases were driven by the addition of new partners as well as further moderation in the consumer payment rate, partially offset by the sale of the BJ's portfolio. • Revenue increased $59 million, or 7%, resulting from higher average credit card and other loan balances and non- interest income, partially offset by increased reversals of interest and fees resulting from higher gross losses. • Total non-interest expenses increased $57 million, or 12%, as card and processing expenses increased $32 million, or 37%; employee compensation and benefit costs increased $26 million, or 14%; and information processing and communications expenses increased $14 million, or 23%. • Income from continuing operations increased $52 million due to revenue growth and a lower provision for credit losses, partially offset by expense growth. • PPNR, a non-GAAP financial measure, increased $2 million, reflecting nominal growth versus the second quarter of 2022. • The delinquency rate of 5.5% increased from 4.4% in the second quarter of 2022 and decreased from 5.7% in the first quarter of 2023. The year-over-year increase was primarily the result of expected consumer payment rate normalization. • The net loss rate of 8.0% increased from 5.6% in the second quarter of 2022 and 7.0% in the first quarter of 2023. The second quarter of 2023 rate reflected an approximately 100 basis point impact from the June 2022 transition of our credit card processing services, as well as continued consumer payment rate normalization.

Bread Financial | July 27, 2023 5 Forward-looking statements This release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements give our expectations or forecasts of future events and can generally be identified by the use of words such as “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “project,” “plan,” “likely,” “may,” “should” or other words or phrases of similar import. Similarly, statements that describe our business strategy, outlook, objectives, plans, intentions or goals also are forward-looking statements. Examples of forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements we make regarding, and the guidance we give with respect to, our anticipated operating or financial results, future financial performance and outlook, future dividend declarations, and future economic conditions. We believe that our expectations are based on reasonable assumptions. Forward-looking statements, however, are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict and, in many cases, beyond our control. Accordingly, our actual results could differ materially from the projections, anticipated results or other expectations expressed in this release, and no assurances can be given that our expectations will prove to have been correct. Factors that could cause the outcomes to differ materially include, but are not limited to, the following: macroeconomic conditions, including market conditions, inflation, rising interest rates, unemployment levels and the increased probability of a recession, and the related impact on consumer payment rates, savings rates and other behavior; global political and public health events and conditions, including the ongoing war in Ukraine and the continuing effects of the global COVID-19 pandemic; future credit performance, including the level of future delinquency and write-off rates; the loss of, or reduction in demand from, significant brand partners or customers in the highly competitive markets in which we compete; the concentration of our business in U.S. consumer credit; inaccuracies in the models and estimates on which we rely, including the amount of our Allowance for credit losses and our credit risk management models; the inability to realize the intended benefits of acquisitions, dispositions and other strategic initiatives; our level of indebtedness and ability to access financial or capital markets; pending and future legislation, regulation, supervisory guidance, and regulatory and legal actions, including, but not limited to, those related to financial regulatory reform and consumer financial services practices, as well as any such actions with respect to late fees, interchange fees or other charges; impacts arising from or relating to the transition of our credit card processing services to third party service providers that we completed in 2022; failures or breaches in our operational or security systems, including as a result of cyberattacks, unanticipated impacts from technology modernization projects or otherwise; and any tax liability, disputes or other adverse impacts arising out of or relating to the spinoff of our former LoyaltyOne segment or the recent bankruptcy filings of Loyalty Ventures Inc. and certain of its subsidiaries. The foregoing factors, along with other risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in forward-looking statements, are described in greater detail under the headings “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the most recently ended fiscal year, which may be updated in Item 1A of, or elsewhere in, our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed for periods subsequent to such Form 10-K. Our forward-looking statements speak only as of the date made, and we undertake no obligation, other than as required by applicable law, to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, subsequent events, anticipated or unanticipated circumstances or otherwise. Non-GAAP financial measures We prepare our Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). However, certain information included herein constitutes non-GAAP financial measures. Our calculations of non-GAAP financial measures may differ from the calculations of similarly titled measures by other companies. In particular, Pretax pre-provision earnings (PPNR) is calculated by increasing/decreasing Income from continuing operations before income taxes by the net provision/release in Provision for credit losses. PPNR less gain on portfolio sales then decreases PPNR by the gain on any portfolio sales in the period. We use PPNR and PPNR less gain on portfolio sales as metrics to evaluate our results of operations before income taxes, excluding the volatility that can occur within Provision for credit losses and the one-time nature of a gain on the sale of a portfolio. Tangible common equity over Tangible assets (TCE/TA) represents Total stockholders’ equity reduced by Goodwill and intangible assets, net, (TCE) divided by Tangible assets (TA), which is Total assets reduced by Goodwill and intangible assets, net. We use TCE/TA as a metric to evaluate the Company’s capital adequacy and estimate its ability to cover potential losses. Tangible book value per common share represents TCE divided by shares outstanding. We use Tangible book value per common share as a metric to estimate the Company’s potential value. We believe the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provide additional clarity in understanding our results of operations and trends. For a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures, please see the “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures”.

2©2023 Bread Financial Forward-looking statements This release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements give our expectations or forecasts of future events and can generally be identified by the use of words such as “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “project,” “plan,” “likely,” “may,” “should” or other words or phrases of similar import. Similarly, statements that describe our business strategy, outlook, objectives, plans, intentions or goals also are forward-looking statements. Examples of forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements we make regarding, and the guidance we give with respect to, our anticipated operating or financial results, future financial performance and outlook, future dividend declarations, and future economic conditions. We believe that our expectations are based on reasonable assumptions. Forward-looking statements, however, are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict and, in many cases, beyond our control. Accordingly, our actual results could differ materially from the projections, anticipated results or other expectations expressed in this release, and no assurances can be given that our expectations will prove to have been correct. Factors that could cause the outcomes to differ materially include, but are not limited to, the following: macroeconomic conditions, including market conditions, inflation, rising interest rates, unemployment levels and the increased probability of a recession, and the related impact on consumer payment rates, savings rates and other behavior; global political and public health events and conditions, including the ongoing war in Ukraine and the continuing effects of the global COVID-19 pandemic; future credit performance, including the level of future delinquency and write-off rates; the loss of, or reduction in demand from, significant brand partners or customers in the highly competitive markets in which we compete; the concentration of our business in U.S. consumer credit; inaccuracies in the models and estimates on which we rely, including the amount of our Allowance for credit losses and our credit risk management models; the inability to realize the intended benefits of acquisitions, dispositions and other strategic initiatives; our level of indebtedness and ability to access financial or capital markets; pending and future legislation, regulation, supervisory guidance, and regulatory and legal actions, including, but not limited to, those related to financial regulatory reform and consumer financial services practices, as well as any such actions with respect to late fees, interchange fees or other charges; impacts arising from or relating to the transition of our credit card processing services to third party service providers that we completed in 2022; failures or breaches in our operational or security systems, including as a result of cyberattacks, unanticipated impacts from technology modernization projects or otherwise; and any tax liability, disputes or other adverse impacts arising out of or relating to the spinoff of our former LoyaltyOne segment or the recent bankruptcy filings of Loyalty Ventures Inc. and certain of its subsidiaries. The foregoing factors, along with other risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in forward-looking statements, are described in greater detail under the headings “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the most recently ended fiscal year, which may be updated in Item 1A of, or elsewhere in, our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed for periods subsequent to such Form 10-K. Our forward-looking statements speak only as of the date made, and we undertake no obligation, other than as required by applicable law, to update or revise any forward- looking statements, whether as a result of new information, subsequent events, anticipated or unanticipated circumstances or otherwise. Non-GAAP financial measures We prepare our Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). However, certain information included herein constitutes non-GAAP financial measures. Our calculations of non-GAAP financial measures may differ from the calculations of similarly titled measures by other companies. In particular, Pretax pre-provision earnings (PPNR) is calculated by increasing/decreasing Income from continuing operations before income taxes by the net provision/release in Provision for credit losses. PPNR less gain on portfolio sales then decreases PPNR by the gain on any portfolio sales in the period. We use PPNR and PPNR less gain on portfolio sales as metrics to evaluate our results of operations before income taxes, excluding the volatility that can occur within Provision for credit losses and the one- time nature of a gain on the sale of a portfolio. Tangible common equity over Tangible assets (TCE/TA) represents Total stockholders’ equity reduced by Goodwill and intangible assets, net, (TCE) divided by Tangible assets (TA), which is Total assets reduced by Goodwill and intangible assets, net. We use TCE/TA as a metric to evaluate the Company’s capital adequacy and estimate its ability to cover potential losses. Tangible book value per common share represents TCE divided by shares outstanding. We use Tangible book value per common share as a metric to estimate the Company’s potential value. We believe the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provide additional clarity in understanding our results of operations and trends. For a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures, please see the “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures”.

6©2023 Bread Financial Second quarter 2023 financial highlights Continuing operations $952 million Revenue $64 million Income from continuing operations $1.27 Diluted EPS Year-over-year comparisons • Credit sales of $7.1 billion decreased 13%, reflecting the sale of the BJ's Wholesale Club portfolio in late February 2023, credit tightening, and moderating consumer spending, partially offset by new partner growth. • Second quarter average loans of $17.7 billion grew 4%, driven by the addition of new partners as well as further moderation in the consumer payment rate, partially offset by the sale of the BJ's portfolio. • Revenue increased $59 million, or 7%, resulting from higher average credit card and other loan balances and non-interest income partially offset by increased reversals of interest and fees resulting from higher gross losses. • Income from continuing operations increased $52 million. • Net loss rate in the quarter was impacted by the transition of our credit card processing services in June 2022, as expected. Note: Continuing operations excludes amounts associated with our former LoyaltyOne segment and our former Epsilon segment which previously have been disclosed as discontinued operations and are classified as discontinued operations in 2Q23.

13©2023 Bread Financial Full year 2022 actuals Full year 2023 outlook Commentary Average loans $17,768 million Up low- to mid- single digits • Updated based on our new and renewed brand partner announcements, visibility into our pipeline, moderation in consumer spending, strategic credit management actions, and the current economic outlook. Revenue $3,826 million Slightly above loan growth • Net interest margin is expected to remain similar to the 2022 full year rate of 19.2%. • Revenue guidance excludes the gain on portfolio sale. Total non-interest expenses $1,932 million Positive operating leverage • We will continue to strategically invest in technology modernization, marketing, and product innovation to drive growth and efficiencies. • With the magnitude of the gain on portfolio sale, we are investing $30 million of the gain in 2023 to accelerate our business transformation. Excluding the gain on portfolio sale from revenue and this $30 million investment from total expenses, we expect to achieve nominal positive operating leverage for the full year. Net loss rate 5.4% Low-to-mid 7% range • Our outlook is inclusive of the impacts of customer accommodations related to the 2022 transition of our credit card processing services, moderation in consumer spending, our credit management actions, as well as continued pressure on consumers’ ability to pay due to persistent inflation. • We remain confident in our long-term guidance of a through-the-cycle average net loss rate below our historical average of 6%. 2023 financial outlook Updated to reflect slower sales growth as a result of strategic credit tightening and moderation in consumer spending
