**Capital One Financial Corp. Reports Fiscal Year 2025 Results, Reflecting Discover Acquisition**

Capital One Financial Corporation (COF) has released its Form 10-K filing for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, reporting a net income of $2.45 billion, or $4.03 per diluted common share. This represents a decrease of 48% compared to the $4.75 billion net income reported in 2024, which translated to $11.59 per diluted common share. Total net revenue for 2025 reached $53.43 billion, a 37% increase from the $39.11 billion reported in the previous year. The filing indicates that the financial results for 2025 reflect the activity of Discover’s acquired business operations for the period since the acquisition closing date of May 18, 2025.

The company's financial performance was significantly influenced by the acquisition of Discover Financial Services. Total assets increased by 36% to $669.0 billion, with the fair value of total identifiable assets acquired from Discover amounting to $168.6 billion, including $108.2 billion of loans held for investment and $106.9 billion of deposits assumed. The provision for credit losses increased by 76% to $20.65 billion, primarily due to the initial allowance for credit losses for non-purchased credit deteriorated loans acquired in the Transaction. Non-interest expense also rose by 42% to $30.50 billion, driven by integration expenses and continued investments in technology.

Key operational developments included Capital One becoming the largest credit card issuer in the U.S., based on outstanding balances, and the integration of Discover's Global Payment Network. The company reported a total purchase volume of $828.47 billion, a 27% increase year-over-year, and a Global Payment Network volume of $401.78 billion. As of December 31, 2025, Capital One had approximately 76,300 employees worldwide. The company has substantially completed the reissuance of legacy Capital One customer debit cards onto the Global Payment Network.

Looking ahead, Capital One is set to acquire Brex Inc. for $5.15 billion, consisting of approximately $2.58 billion in cash and approximately 10.6 million shares of Capital One common stock, subject to certain adjustments. The completion of the Brex Transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including clearance under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended. The company's outlook and forward-looking statements are subject to numerous factors that could cause actual results to differ materially, including risks related to the integration of the Discover acquisition, changes in the macroeconomic environment, fluctuations in interest rates, and compliance with new and existing laws and regulations.
