Reconciliation to GAAP Measures

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and are referred to as our “reported” financial statements. Loans included in securitization transactions which qualify as sales under GAAP have been removed from our “reported” balance sheet. However, servicing fees, finance charges, and other fees, net of charge-offs, and interest paid to investors of securitizations are recognized as servicing and securitizations income on the “reported” income statement.

Our “managed” consolidated financial statements reflect adjustments made related to effects of securitization transactions qualifying as sales under GAAP. We generate earnings from our “managed” loan portfolio which includes both the on-balance sheet loans and off-balance sheet loans. Our “managed” income statement takes the components of the servicing and securitizations income generated from the securitized portfolio and distributes the revenue and expense to appropriate income statement line items from which it originated. For this reason, we believe the “managed” consolidated financial statements and related managed metrics to be useful to stakeholders.

Reportable Segments

We manage our business as two distinct operating segments: Local Banking and National Lending. The Local Banking and National Lending segments are considered reportable segments based on quantitative thresholds applied to the managed loan portfolio for reportable segments provided by SFAS No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information. The National Lending segment consists of the following three sub-segments: US Card, Auto Finance and Global Financial Services.

As management makes decisions on a managed basis within each segment, information about reportable segments is provided on a managed basis.

Net Charge-Off Rate

Average Loans Outstanding used in the calculation of the Net Charge-Offs Rate includes an estimate of the uncollectible portion of finance charge and fee receivables. We recognize earned finance charges and fee income on open ended loans according to the contractual provisions of the credit arrangements. When we do not expect full payment of finance charges and fees, we do not accrue the estimated uncollectible portion as income. Prior to May 2007, the estimated uncollectible portion of finance charges and fees was adjusted monthly. Effective May 2007, the estimated uncollectible portion of finance charges and fees is adjusted quarterly.
