Our success and our momentum are years in the
making. Thirty-five years ago, we founded this
company on a belief that technology and information
would transform financial services, and that the
credit card business was the tip of the spear. Our
rallying cry back in 1987 was to build an information-

the quest for great “athletes.” We looked for world-
class problem-solvers who had the promise to be
great builders, leaders and teammates. After years
of building the talent, data and infrastructure to
deliver our vision, the business took off and we
celebrated our IPO in 1994. In just a few decades,
we have become the third-largest credit card
company in the United States. And we have
expanded our vision beyond the U.S. and built
card franchises in the United Kingdom and Canada.
But it was never just about credit cards. It was
about changing banking for good by bringing
ingenuity, simplicity and humanity to an industry
justifiably proud of its heritage and role in the world
but increasingly saddled with legacy technology and
talent, overly complicated products and policies,
and a customer experience that reflected that
complexity. In 1998, we entered the auto finance
business with a vision of bringing the same
information-based solutions to what was a very
traditional market. Today we are the largest auto lender
in the United States. In 2005, concerned about
having a business model reliant on capital markets
funding, we entered retail and commercial banking and
transformed our balance sheet to become a deposit-
funded, diversified bank. We then set out to build
the bank of the future with full-service banking
capabilities delivered digitally, a lean physical branch
presence, café showrooms in iconic locations, and
an award-winning digital experience.
All along the way, we continued to adapt our
strategic direction based on a core principle by
which we manage the company. We don’t start
with where we currently are and try to get better.
We focus obsessively on where the world is going
and where winning is. And then we work backward
from that. We know that sometimes that means
being a market disrupter. And sometimes that
Human history has been driven by seismic waves
of change and transformation. Early on, the waves
were thousands of years apart. Today, we are
witnessing a transformation in the human experience
within our lifetimes. The digital revolution has come
at a dizzying speed, with the computer in 1946, the
personal computer in 1977 and the internet in 1994.
These disruptions came only decades apart.
Then in the late 2000s, three waves of innovation
swept the world at the very same time. The
smartphone made us always on and always
connected and ushered in the real-time revolution.
Cloud computing brought nearly unlimited compute
and storage at very low cost. That explosion of
computing capability unleashed the promise of
machine learning and artificial intelligence that
had laid dormant in the provinces of academia.
In isolation, each of these three waves would have
been a seismic revolution. But together, the triple
revolution of mobile, cloud and machine learning
transformed the scale and time frames of our lives.
They ushered in the world of big data in real time,
powered by machine learning. To consumers, these
waves brought us instant solutions, customized for
each of us. The triple revolution is transforming how
we live and how we work. Everything is at the speed
of now. Not two days from now. Not ten minutes
from now. Right now. It is the world of mass
customization in real time, powered by machine
learning. It is transforming everything around us
at a pace never seen before in human history.
It is what I call the real-time, intelligent revolution.
The revolution is accelerating. We have gone from
unlimited, free access to all of humanity’s knowledge
to the emergence of generative AI built on transformer
models that can create a credible response to the
prompt “Write Capital One’s annual Chairman’s
Letter.” The real-time, intelligent revolution is
transforming how the world works, and few
industries will be spared.

We Have Been on a
Decade-long Technology
Transformation
Despite our becoming one of America’s fastest-
growing financial institutions, we have watched with
awe the pace of the real-time, intelligent revolution.
But, while we were excited to ride that wave, a
decade ago we stared at a sobering reality: The
technology platform on which Capital One had built
its competitive advantage would be obsolete in this
new world. We knew that we couldn’t just build
incremental new capabilities and simply bolt them
on top of our existing infrastructure. To fully
enable real-time, intelligent solutions across the
company and for our customers, we needed to
undertake a discontinuous change. So, 10 years
ago, we declared an all-in technology transformation
across Capital One.
We began at the bottom of the tech stack and
rebuilt our infrastructure. We recruited top
technology talent from leading tech companies and
college campuses. We brought our engineering
talent in-house and moved away from legacy
third-party vendors. We transformed how we
build software and became early adopters of APIs,
microservices, DevOps and automated testing
and deployment. We rebuilt the 1,300 applications
on which the company operates to make them
capable of handling big data in real time. We moved
from scattered legacy systems to leveraging
enterprise platforms to drive automation and scale.
We evolved our data environment, and by 2020,
we were fully in the public cloud and had exited our
last data centers. In 2021, we fully exited our internal
mainframes. And after a decade of transforming our
technology, we are well-positioned to harness the
promise and opportunity of machine learning and
artificial intelligence. This has been a rare journey
in corporate America, much less in banking.
Here we are in the 11th year of our technology
transformation. When we look at where the world
is going and where banking is headed, we see
opportunities that all require the same path to get
there. We spent years focused on the bottom of the
tech stack, miles from where any customer could
see our progress. And as we move up the tech stack,
we’re finding more and more opportunities. On the
shoulders of everything we’ve built, we’re faster to
market with new products. Our mass-customized
4
marketing in real time is enhancing our reach and
our growth. We’ve reduced credit losses and fraud
costs and see positive risk management outcomes
all across the company. Our digital experiences are
delighting customers. And we are attracting the
world’s greatest tech talent to work on hard
problems with amazing technology as they share
and scale their innovations across the company
and out into the world.
We have always had a reverence for the power of
markets and riding the waves of change. And now,
more than three decades after our founding, I am
struck by the consistency of our story. We have
built a technology company that does banking,
competing against banks that use information and
technology but it may not be who they are. We are
exceptionally well-positioned at the frontier of the
accelerating revolution of banking.
It is an incredible time to be alive at this moment
in history. And it is an incredible opportunity to
be Capital One, which was built to thrive in this
moment. The sense of possibility is all around us.
And in 2022, standing on the shoulders of our
decade-long technology transformation, we
continued to build momentum and drive
outstanding results.
We Delivered Very Strong
Financial Results in 2022
This was a great year for Capital One. Driven by
loan growth of 13%, we delivered revenue of
$34.3 billion, up 12.5% from 2021 and the highest
organic revenue growth rate in two decades. Our
operating efficiency ratio improved 79 basis points
to 44.2% as revenue growth outpaced operating
expense growth. We took advantage of attractive
growth opportunities across our businesses, and
we increased marketing expenses $1.1 billion, or
40%, as compared to 2021. In 2022, we drove
strong new account growth and welcomed millions
of new customers, and we deepened existing
relationships across our franchises. Strong revenue
Fostering a Culture of Innovation
We have built a strong technology and engineering
culture. Our business leaders and technology
associates have taken center stage at some of the
world’s most high-profile technology conferences,
including AWS re:Invent and the Snowflake Summit.
And in 2022, we launched our first external
software product, Capital One Slingshot.
growth combined with higher operating expenses
and marketing investments resulted in pre-provision
earnings* of $15.1 billion, an 8.8% increase from 2021.
As credit performance began to normalize from
historically low losses during the pandemic, charge-
offs increased and we built our allowance for credit
losses to support growth and reflect growing
economic uncertainty. Net charge-offs were $4.0
billion, up $1.7 billion (78%) from 2021, and our
allowance for credit losses swung from a net
decrease of $4.1 billion in 2021 to a net increase
of $1.8 billion in 2022.

Clear Products With Compelling Rewards
With our rewards cards, consumers and small-business
owners can get unlimited cash back, travel miles
and points on every purchase every day. And our
customers have access to award-winning digital tools
and one-of-a-kind experiences in dining, sports and
entertainment. REI and BJ’s are the latest companies
to join our growing roster of great retailers and
partners, all of whom share a passion for delivering
clear value and an exceptional customer experience.
Diluted earnings per share (EPS) were $17.91,
the second-highest in Capital One’s history. We
continued to be aided by unusually exceptional
credit performance during the pandemic. But in
2022 we saw the unmistakable signs of expected
credit normalization. Our key businesses delivered
strong growth and solid returns. Domestic Card
revenue hit $21 billion—$3.5 billion, or 20%, higher
than 2021. We welcomed millions of new Card
customers, and Card purchase volume hit an
all-time high of $569 billion, 17% higher than 2021.
6
Consumer deposits grew by 5.5%, and Auto loans
increased 3.4%, despite a decline in loan originations
as competitive conditions became less attractive.
Commercial loan growth was 11%.
We distributed $5.8 billion in capital to common
shareholders through share repurchases and
dividends. For our long-term shareholders, our
deployment of capital through share repurchases
over the past decade—which reduced the number
of total common shares outstanding—has significantly
increased their ownership stake in Capital One.
We continue to believe capital distribution will be
an important part of how we create value for our
long-term shareholders in the future.
The global economy continued to feel the lingering
effects of the pandemic in 2022. The stock market
traded down as geopolitical risk, inflation and
market fears of recessionary conditions in 2023 all
weighed on investors. Banks, consumer lenders and
Capital One in particular were negatively impacted.
After significantly outperforming banks and the
broader market in 2021, Capital One shares ended
the year at $92.96, down 35.9% from year-end 2021
versus the KBW Bank Index, which was down 23.7%.
We Are Helping
Customers Succeed
When we set out on this journey three decades ago,
the quest to change banking for good was not just
about transforming the industry with technology and
data. It was also a quest to change the customer
experience and to bring ingenuity, simplicity and
humanity to banking. The Capital One story plays out
one customer at a time, across tens of millions of
customers who can feel our mission in our products
and customer experiences. It’s the story of a first-
generation immigrant who gets a chance to build
credit in a new country. Or the small-business owner
who uses credit card rewards to pay for employee
health care. And the commuter in Boston who stops
by for a cup of coffee but opens up about their
financial goals and dreams. In 2022, our customers
remained strong advocates of our brand and attrition
remained extremely low. We are here to help our
customers succeed, and they can feel it.
products, digital tools and experiences that are
earning accolades from customers and experts alike.
Our flagship branded cards—Venture, Quicksilver
and Savor—provide clear and compelling rewards
with no asterisks or fine print. We expanded
our consumer credit card offerings with the
announcement of several new products and
relationships, including the REI and BJ’s partnership
cards. Our premium Venture X card saw strong
growth in its first full year on the market, and we
continued to build differentiated offerings for
heavy-spend customers. We are opening a different
kind of airport lounge in some of America’s busiest
airports, with an engaging team, welcoming
atmosphere and fresh food and drinks. We
announced our Premier Hotel collection, a curated
selection of hotels and resorts from around the
world, for Venture X customers booking through
Capital One Travel. We introduced Capital One Dining
and Capital One Entertainment, which provide
customers access to reservations at elite restaurants
and tickets for exclusive events. And we partnered
with Uber to offer discounts for Savor and Quicksilver
cardholders. We are excited about our journey to go
right at the top of the market with distinctive

Cash Plus, our card with no preset spending limit,
allows small-business owners greater flexibility in
how they run their businesses and manage their
money. We also expanded our offerings and
partnered with Melio to launch a modern and
intuitive bill payment solution for small-business
owners, enabling them to better manage cash flow
while still earning unlimited rewards and cash back
on purchases. These products and investments are
being recognized—we were ranked second overall
in the J.D. Power 2022 U.S. Small Business Banking
Satisfaction Study.
For centuries, banking was about physical buildings,
long lines and endless paper. Today, banking is
accessible to everyone at any time with the click
of a button. As consumers embrace digital tools
to understand, monitor and spend their money,
Capital One has worked to bring a real-time, intelligent
digital experience to meet their diverse needs.
A Different Kind of Airport Lounge
We are opening airport lounges in cities across the U.S., including our inaugural location in Dallas/Fort Worth. Capital One customers
can decompress in our relaxation rooms, use free Wi-Fi to stream a show, or even break a sweat in our cycling and yoga studio.

This Is Banking Reimagined
We have built a different kind of bank. In 2022, we fully
implemented our no-fee overdraft protection, saving
customers hundreds of millions of dollars. We were the
first major bank to make this move, and were honored
to be recognized by TIME®, in part due to this industry-leading
announcement. For the third year in a row, we were named
#1 in Customer Satisfaction among National Banks in the
United States by J.D. Power. Stop in one of our branches or
cafés or visit our website to experience banking reimagined.

Our simple and intuitive tools, like early paycheck and
real-time activity alerts, give customers more control
over their financial lives. And in 2022, we continued
to expand our CashLoad functionality, which allows
customers to deposit cash into their 360 Checking
account(s) at CVS pharmacies. This feature is now
available at over 8,000 CVS locations nationwide.
Capital One cafés are living, breathing examples of
how we’re reimagining banking. In 2015, we opened
our first Capital One café in Boston. Our vision
was to create a comfortable, inviting space for
visitors to get a firsthand look at how our products,
technology and people come together to create a
completely different banking experience. In 2022,
we continued to expand our café network, opening
five new cafés in new and existing markets across
the country. Today we have 54 Capital One cafés in
the United States.
At the end of 2021, we became the first top-10 retail
bank to announce the elimination of all overdraft
and non-sufficient funds fees for consumer banking
customers, and in 2022 we fully implemented these
policies. Overdraft protection is a valuable and
convenient feature and can be an important safety
net for individuals and families. And our move to
eliminate the fees associated with this service has
saved our customers hundreds of millions of dollars
over time while providing an important, and now
free, service that many customers want and depend
on. Our announcement has prompted a number of
large banks to take steps to reduce customer fees
on checking accounts, though few have gone as far
as Capital One has.
We are building a bank of the future with strikingly
simple and valuable products, an exceptional
digital experience and an iconic physical presence in

We ranked Highest in Customer Satisfaction with
Mobile Banking Apps among National Banks by
J.D. Power, and our 360 Checking and Savings
products were both awarded Best Overall by
The Wall Street Journal. And we were excited to see
TIME® named Capital One to its TIME® 100 Most
Influential Companies List, in part due to our industry-
leading move to eliminate overdraft fees.
Our Customers Are
Benefiting From Our
Technology Transformation
At Capital One, we are building on our technology
investments and constantly reimagining what’s
next. We seek out products and industries that are
ripe for transformation and try to imagine a better
way. For a century, the process of buying a car
barely changed. But the digital revolution has
brought new tools, technologies and expectations
to the car-buying experience. Capital One is the
largest auto lender in the United States, and we’re
working to reimagine the car-buying experience
with our Navigator Platform. We continue to build
industry-leading technology capabilities, and our
innovation is helping transform the car-buying
experience for both buyers and dealers. Buyers
can search dealers’ inventories, understand their
financing options, prequalify for financing without
an impact on their credit score, and customize
their payment amount and schedule to work best
for them. Dealers can create a more transparent,
personal experience for customers by understanding
their preferences up front.
Online shopping exploded during the pandemic
and is expected to continue to gain market share
in the future. In 2022, we saw more and more
customers fall in love with Capital One Shopping,
which has saved customers hundreds of millions of
dollars by automatically searching for coupons,
better prices and valuable rewards at over 30,000
online retailers. Behind the sleek experience is
a machine-learning–driven model that delivers
incremental sales to merchants and exceptional
deals to consumers.
Innovative Tools to Help Our
Customers Succeed
You can save money when you shop online, manage your
finances with our award-winning mobile app, and find and
finance your next car. Millions of customers are benefiting from
our innovation, cloud capabilities and modern tech stack.

Executive Committee and Board of Directors.
Our passionate, innovative associates are the

with humanity and ingenuity.
In 2022, we welcomed over 13,000 associates
globally, including close to 4,000 in technology
roles like software engineering, data science,
machine learning and cybersecurity. More than

Capital One through our campus programs, which
range from technology and product management
to finance and business analysis.
We cherish our open culture, seek out the wisdom
of the crowd, and harness our associates’ insights
to drive meaningful change and innovation
across the company. We have maintained strikingly
high associate engagement, morale and inclusion
and are committed to creating an exceptional
experience to help our associates grow and thrive.
In 2022, we continued to invest in resources to
support our associates’ mental, physical, social and
financial health.
Capital One is committed to diversity, inclusion and
belonging. In 2022, we expanded our recruiting
pipelines and we deepened our partnership with
Historically Black Colleges and Universities and
Hispanic-Serving Institutions. We focused on
expanding mobility opportunities for customer-
facing associates to advance their careers. And we
continued to expand diverse representation among
our executive population through recruiting,
development and promotion.
Investing in Founders and Entrepreneurs
As a founder-led company, Capital One is committed to supporting the bold dreams of entrepreneurs. For example, through the
Black Girl Magic Summit, we awarded seed grants to Black, women-owned businesses and start-ups. The Michael Wassmer

pathways for small businesses in the region.

Over 60% of our global workforce is engaged in
one of our voluntary associate networks based
on their shared interests or backgrounds. These
groups deepen our understanding of different
cultures, people and experiences and enable
associates to build connections and bridge
differences. In 2022, we launched our eighth
associate network group, &family, which focuses
on the needs of parents and caregivers.
We are committed to harnessing technology
and new ways of working to enable the best in
our associates. The vast majority of our non-
customer–facing associates now work in a hybrid
model, where associates spend meaningful time
working both in person and virtually. Teams have
found significant benefits of collaborating and being
together in person while still realizing the efficiency
and convenience of virtual work and working from
home. Associates value the flexibility provided with
our hybrid model, and we will continue to listen to
associate feedback and adapt to the changing
landscape of today’s workforce while investing in
our associates’ growth and development.
My number one job is attracting and developing great
talent. And I am heartened that we have been recognized
as a great place to launch and accelerate careers.

Note: 2017 net income per diluted share as reported under GAAP was $3.49 per share. The amount above has been adjusted to exclude the $1.77
billion ($3.59 per share) non-cash impact of U.S. tax reform, which reflected our estimate as of December 31, 2017. 2008 loss as reported under GAAP
was $0.21 per share. The amount above has been adjusted to exclude an $811 million ($2.14 per share) non-cash goodwill impairment, and the
associated $7 million tax effect of the impairment ($0.01 per share), related to our auto finance business.

Capital One Financial Corporation (COF)
PART I
Item 1. Business
OVERVIEW
General
Capital One Financial Corporation, a Delaware corporation established in 1994 and headquartered in McLean, Virginia, is a
diversified financial services holding company with banking and non-banking subsidiaries. Capital One Financial Corporation
and its subsidiaries (the “Company” or “Capital One”) offer a broad array of financial products and services to consumers,
small businesses and commercial clients through digital channels, branch locations, cafés and other distribution channels.
As of December 31, 2022, Capital One Financial Corporation’s principal operating subsidiary was Capital One, National
Association (“CONA”). On October 1, 2022, the Company completed the merger of Capital One Bank (USA), National
Association (“COBNA”), with and into CONA, with CONA as the surviving entity (the “Bank Merger”). The Company is
hereafter collectively referred to as “we,” “us” or “our.” References to the “Bank” shall mean and refer to (i) CONA from and
after the Bank Merger and (ii) CONA and COBNA collectively prior to the Bank Merger.
References to “this Report” or our “2022 Form 10-K” or “2022 Annual Report” are to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. All references to 2022, 2021 and 2020, refer to our fiscal years ended, or the dates, as the
context requires, December 31, 2022, December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. Certain business terms used in
this document are defined in the “MD&A—Glossary and Acronyms” and should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated
Financial Statements included in this Report.
We were the third largest issuer of Visa® (“Visa”) and MasterCard® (“MasterCard”) credit cards in the U.S. based on the
outstanding balance of credit card loans as of December 31, 2022. In addition to credit cards, we also offer debit cards, bank
lending, treasury management and depository services, auto loans and other consumer lending products in markets across the
U.S. As one of the nation’s largest banks based on deposits as of December 31, 2022, we service banking customer accounts
through digital channels and our network of branch locations, cafés, call centers and automated teller machines (“ATMs”).
We also offer products and services outside of the U.S. principally through Capital One (Europe) plc (“COEP”), an indirect
subsidiary of CONA organized and located in the United Kingdom (“U.K.”), and through a branch of CONA in Canada. Both
COEP and our Canadian branch of CONA have the authority to provide credit card loans.
Business Developments
We regularly explore and evaluate opportunities to acquire financial products and services as well as financial assets, including
credit card and other loan portfolios, and enter into strategic partnerships as part of our growth strategy. We also explore
opportunities to acquire technology companies and related assets to improve our information technology infrastructure and to
deliver on our digital strategy. We may issue equity or debt to fund our acquisitions. In addition, we regularly consider the
potential disposition of certain of our assets, branches, partnership agreements or lines of business.

OPERATIONS AND BUSINESS SEGMENTS
Our consolidated total net revenues are derived primarily from lending to consumer and commercial customers net of funding
costs associated with our deposits, long-term debt and other borrowings. We also earn non-interest income which primarily
consists of interchange income, net of reward expenses, service charges and other customer-related fees. Our expenses
primarily consist of the provision for credit losses, operating expenses, marketing expenses and income taxes.
Our principal operations are organized for management reporting purposes into three major business segments, which are
defined primarily based on the products and services provided or the types of customers served: Credit Card, Consumer
Banking and Commercial Banking. The operations of acquired businesses have been integrated into or managed as a part of our
existing business segments. Certain activities that are not part of a segment, such as management of our corporate investment
portfolio and asset/liability management by our centralized Corporate Treasury group, are included in the Other category. The
Other category also includes unallocated corporate expenses that do not directly support the operations of the business segments
or for which the business segments are not considered financially accountable in evaluating their performance, such as certain
restructuring charges, as well as residual tax expense or benefit to arrive at the consolidated effective tax rate that is not
assessed to our primary business segments.

Credit Card: Consists of our domestic consumer and small business card lending, and international card businesses in
the United Kingdom and Canada.
Consumer Banking: Consists of our deposit gathering and lending activities for consumers and small businesses, and
national auto lending.
Commercial Banking: Consists of our lending, deposit gathering, capital markets and treasury management services to
commercial real estate and commercial and industrial customers. Our customers typically include companies with annual
revenues between $20 million and $2 billion.
Customer usage and payment patterns, estimates of future expected credit losses, levels of marketing expense and operating
efficiency all affect our profitability. In our Credit Card business, we generally experience fluctuations in purchase volume and
the level of outstanding loan receivables from seasonal variances in consumer spending and payment patterns which, for
example, have historically been the highest around the winter holiday season. Net charge-off rates for our credit card loan
portfolio also have historically exhibited seasonal patterns as well and generally tend to be the highest in the first quarter of the
year.
For additional information on our business segments, including the financial performance of each business, see “Part II—Item
7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”)—Executive
Summary,” “Part II—Item 7. MD&A—Business Segment Financial Performance” and “Part II—Item 8. Financial Statements
and Supplementary Data—Note 17—Business Segments and Revenue from Contracts with Customers” of this Report.

Capital One Financial Corporation (COF)
COMPETITION
Each of our business segments operates in a highly competitive environment, and we face competition in all aspects of our
business from numerous bank and non-bank providers of financial services.
Our Credit Card business competes with international, national, regional and local issuers of Visa and MasterCard credit cards,
as well as with American Express®, Discover Card®, private-label card brands, and, to a certain extent, issuers of debit cards. In
general, customers are attracted to credit card issuers largely on the basis of price, credit limit, reward programs, customer
experience and other product features.
Our Consumer Banking and Commercial Banking businesses compete with national, state and direct banks for deposits,
commercial and auto loans, as well as with savings and loan associations and credit unions for loans and deposits. Our
competitors also include automotive finance companies, commercial mortgage banking companies and other financial services
providers that provide loans, deposits, and other similar services and products. In addition, we compete against non-depository
institutions that are able to offer these products and services.
We also consider new and emerging companies in digital and mobile payments and other financial technology providers among
our competitors. We compete with many forms of payment mechanisms, systems and products, offered by both bank and non-
bank providers.
Our businesses generally compete on the basis of the quality and range of their products and services, transaction execution,
innovation and price. Competition varies based on the types of clients, customers, industries and geographies served. Our
ability to compete depends, in part, on our ability to attract and retain our associates and on our reputation as well as our ability
to keep pace with innovation, in particular in the development of new technology platforms. There can be no assurance,
however, that our ability to market products and services successfully or to obtain adequate returns on our products and services
will not be impacted by the nature of the competition that now exists or may later develop, or by the broader economic
environment. For a discussion of the risks related to our competitive environment, see “Part I—Item 1A. Risk Factors.”
SUPERVISION AND REGULATION
General
The regulatory framework applicable to banking organizations is intended primarily for the protection of depositors and the
stability of the U.S. financial system, rather than for the protection of stockholders and creditors.
As a banking organization, we are subject to extensive regulation and supervision. In addition to banking laws and regulations,
we are subject to various other laws and regulations, all of which directly or indirectly affect our operations, management and
ability to make distributions to stockholders. We and our subsidiaries are also subject to supervision and examination by
multiple regulators. In addition to laws and regulations, state and federal bank regulatory agencies may issue policy statements,
interpretive letters and similar written guidance applicable to us and our subsidiaries. Any change in the statutes, regulations or
regulatory policies applicable to us, including changes in their interpretation or implementation, could have a material effect on
our business or organization.
Both the scope of the laws and regulations and the intensity of the supervision to which we are subject have increased, initially
in response to the 2007-2008 financial crisis, and more recently in light of other factors such as technological, political and
market changes. Regulatory enforcement and fines have also increased across the banking and financial services sector.
The descriptions below summarize certain significant federal and state laws, as well as international laws, to which we are
subject. The descriptions are qualified in their entirety by reference to the particular statutory or regulatory provisions
summarized. They do not summarize all possible or proposed changes in current laws or regulations and are not intended to be
a substitute for the related statutes or regulatory provisions.
Banking Regulation
Capital One Financial Corporation is a bank holding company (“BHC”) and a financial holding company (“FHC”) under the
Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (“BHC Act”), and is subject to the requirements of the BHC Act, including
approval requirements for investments in or acquisitions of banking organizations, capital adequacy standards and limitations
7
Capital One Financial Corporation (COF)
on non-banking activities. As a BHC and FHC, we are subject to supervision, examination and regulation by the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System (“Federal Reserve”). Permissible activities for a BHC include those activities that are
so closely related to banking as to be a proper incident thereto. In addition, an FHC is permitted to engage in activities
considered to be financial in nature (including, for example, securities underwriting and dealing and merchant banking
activities), incidental to financial activities or, if the Federal Reserve determines that they pose no risk to the safety or
soundness of depository institutions or the financial system in general, activities complementary to financial activities.
To become and remain eligible for FHC status, a BHC and its subsidiary depository institutions must meet certain criteria,
including capital, management and Community Reinvestment Act (“CRA”) requirements. Failure to meet such criteria could
result, depending on which requirements were not met, in restrictions on new financial activities or acquisitions or being
required to discontinue existing activities that are not generally permissible for BHCs.
The Bank is a national association chartered under the National Bank Act, the deposits of which are insured by the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to applicable limits. The Bank is subject to comprehensive regulation and periodic
examination by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”), the FDIC and the Consumer Financial Protection
Bureau (“CFPB”).
We also are registered as a financial institution holding company under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia and, as such,
we are subject to periodic examination by the Virginia Bureau of Financial Institutions. We also face regulation in the
international jurisdictions in which we conduct business. See “Regulation of Businesses by Authorities Outside the United
States” below for additional details.
Regulation of Business Activities
The business activities of the Company and the Bank are also subject to regulation and supervision under various laws and
regulations.
Regulations of Consumer Lending Activities
The activities of the Bank as a consumer lender are subject to regulation under various federal laws, including, for example, the
Truth in Lending Act (“TILA”), the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the CRA, the
Servicemembers Civil Relief Act and the Military Lending Act, as well as under various state laws. TILA, as amended, and
together with its implementing rule, Regulation Z, imposes a number of restrictions on credit card practices impacting rates and
fees, requires that a consumer’s ability to pay be taken into account before issuing credit or increasing credit limits, and imposes
revised disclosures required for open-end credit.
The CFPB recently proposed a rule to amend Regulation Z (the “Proposed CFPB Rule”) to lower the safe harbor amount for
past due fees that a credit card issuer can charge on consumer credit card accounts below the amounts that are currently
permitted, among other changes that could impact the amount of a past due fee that can be charged.
Depending on the underlying issue and applicable law, regulators may be authorized to impose penalties for violations of these
statutes and, in certain cases, to order banks to compensate customers. Borrowers may also have a private right of action for
certain violations. Federal bankruptcy and state debtor relief and collection laws may also affect the ability of a bank, including
the Bank, to collect outstanding balances owed by borrowers.
Debit Card Interchange Fees and Transaction Processing
The Bank is subject to the Federal Reserve’s Regulation II, which limits the amount of interchange fees that can be charged per
debit card transaction for debit card issuers with over $10 billion in assets and places certain prohibitions on payment routing
restrictions and network exclusivity.
Privacy, Data Protection and Data Security
We are subject to a variety of continuously evolving and developing laws and regulations regarding privacy, data protection and
data security, including those related to the collection, storage, handling, use, disclosure, transfer, security and other processing
of personal information. These areas have seen a considerable increase in legislative and regulatory activity over the past
several years. At the federal level, we are subject to the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (“GLBA”), among other laws and
regulations. Moreover, the U.S. Congress is currently considering various proposals for more comprehensive privacy, data
8
Capital One Financial Corporation (COF)
protection and data security legislation, to which we may be subject if passed. For example, in 2022, Congress and the federal
agencies sought to institute mandatory reporting of cyber incidents that materially disrupt or degrade operations and systems or
might otherwise impact U.S. critical infrastructure or national security. This resulted in enactment of the Cyber Incident
Reporting for Critical Infrastructure Act (“CIRCIA”), which, once rulemaking is complete, will require, among other things,
certain companies, including Capital One, to report significant cyber incidents to the Department of Homeland Security’s
Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (“CISA”) within 72 hours from the time the company reasonably believes the
incident occurred, and a proposed rule by the SEC, which would mandate public disclosure of material cybersecurity incidents
within four business days of determining that such an incident has occurred.
At the state level, we are subject to a number of laws and regulations, such as the California Consumer Privacy Act and its
implementing regulations (as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act, the “CPRA”), which creates obligations on
covered companies to, among other things, share certain information they have collected about California residents with those
individuals, subject to certain exceptions. Many other states also have enacted or are in the process of enacting state-level
privacy, data protection and/or data security laws and regulations, with which we may be required to comply. Significant
uncertainty exists as federal and state privacy, data protection and data security laws may be interpreted and applied differently
and may create inconsistent or conflicting requirements. For further discussion of privacy, data protection and cybersecurity,
and related risks for our business, see “Part I—Item 1A. Risk Factors” under the headings “We face risks related to our
operational, technological and organizational infrastructure,” “A cyber-attack or other security incident, including one that
results in the theft, loss, manipulation or misuse of information (including personal information), or the disabling of systems
and access to information critical to business operations, may result in increased costs, reductions in revenue, reputational
damage, legal exposure and business disruptions.” and “Our required compliance with applicable laws and regulations related
to privacy, data protection and data security may increase our costs, reduce our revenue, increase our legal exposure and limit
our ability to pursue business opportunities.”
Anti-Money Laundering and Anti-Terrorism
The Bank Secrecy Act and the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001 (“Patriot Act”) require financial institutions, among other things, to
implement a risk-based program reasonably designed to prevent money laundering and to combat the financing of terrorism,
including through suspicious activity and currency transaction reporting, compliance, record-keeping and customer due
diligence.
The Patriot Act also contains financial transparency laws and provides enhanced information collection tools and enforcement
mechanisms to the U.S. government, including due diligence and record-keeping requirements for private banking and
correspondent accounts; standards for verifying customer identification at account opening; rules to produce certain records
upon request of a regulator or law enforcement agency; and rules to promote cooperation among financial institutions,
regulators and law enforcement agencies in identifying parties that may be involved in terrorism, money laundering and other
crimes.
The Anti-Money Laundering Act of 2020 (“AML Act”), enacted as part of the National Defense Authorization Act, requires the
U.S. Treasury Department to issue National Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism Priorities,
which it did in June 2021, and to conduct studies and issue regulations that may alter some of the due diligence, recordkeeping
and reporting requirements that the Bank Secrecy Act and Patriot Act impose on banks. The AML Act also promotes increased
information-sharing and use of technology, and increases penalties for violations of the Bank Secrecy Act and includes
whistleblower incentives, both of which could increase the prospect of regulatory enforcement.
Deposit Funding
Under the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 (“FDICIA”), only well capitalized and adequately
capitalized institutions may accept “brokered deposits,” as defined by FDIC regulations. Adequately capitalized institutions,
however, must obtain a waiver from the FDIC before accepting brokered deposits, and such institutions may not pay rates that
significantly exceed the rates paid on deposits of similar maturity obtained from the institution’s normal market area or, for
deposits obtained from outside the institution’s normal market area, the national rate on deposits of comparable maturity. See
“Part II一Item 7. MD&A一Liquidity Risk Profile” for additional information.
The FDIC is authorized to terminate a bank’s deposit insurance upon a finding by the FDIC that the bank’s financial condition
is unsafe or unsound or that the institution has engaged in unsafe or unsound practices or has violated any applicable rule,
regulation, order or condition enacted or imposed by the bank’s regulatory agency.

Broker-Dealer Activities
Certain of our non-bank subsidiaries are subject to regulation and supervision by various federal and state authorities. Capital
One Securities, Inc., KippsDeSanto & Company and TripleTree, LLC are registered broker-dealers regulated by the SEC and
the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”). These broker-dealer subsidiaries are subject to, among other things,
net capital rules designed to measure the general financial condition and liquidity of a broker-dealer. Under these rules, broker-
dealers are required to maintain the minimum net capital deemed necessary to meet their continuing commitments to customers
and others, and to keep a substantial portion of their assets in relatively liquid form. These rules also limit the ability of a
broker-dealer to transfer capital to its parent companies and other affiliates. Broker-dealers are also subject to regulations
covering their business operations, including sales and trading practices, public offerings, publication of research reports, use
and safekeeping of client funds and securities, capital structure, record-keeping and the conduct of directors, officers and
employees.
Derivatives Activities
Title VII of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (“Dodd-Frank Act”) establishes a
regulatory framework for the governance of the over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivatives market, including swaps and security-
based swaps and the registration of certain market participants as a swap dealer. CONA provisionally registered with the
Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) as a swap dealer in 2020. Registration as a swap dealer subjects CONA to
additional regulatory requirements with respect to its swaps and other derivatives activities. As a result of CONA’s swap dealer
registration, it is subject to the rules of the OCC concerning capital and margin requirements for swap dealers, including the
mandatory exchange of variation margin and initial margin with certain counterparties. Additionally, as a provisionally
registered swap dealer, CONA is subject to requirements under the CFTC’s regulatory regime, including rules regarding
business conduct standards, recordkeeping obligations, regulatory reporting and procedures relating to swaps trading. CONA’s
swaps and other derivatives activities do not require it to register with the SEC as a security-based swap dealer.
Transactions with Affiliates
There are various legal restrictions on the extent to which we and our non-bank subsidiaries may borrow or otherwise engage in
certain types of transactions with the Bank. Under the Federal Reserve Act and Federal Reserve regulations, the Bank and its
subsidiaries are subject to quantitative and qualitative limits on extensions of credit, purchases of assets, and certain other
transactions involving non-bank affiliates. In addition, transactions between the Bank and its non-bank affiliates are required to
be on arm’s length terms and must be consistent with standards of safety and soundness.
Volcker Rule
We and each of our subsidiaries, including the Bank, are subject to the “Volcker Rule,” a provision of the Dodd-Frank Act that
contains prohibitions on proprietary trading and certain investments in, and relationships with, covered funds (hedge funds,
private equity funds and similar funds), subject to certain exemptions, in each case as the applicable terms are defined in the
Volcker Rule and the implementing regulations. The implementing regulations also require that we establish and maintain a
compliance program designed to ensure adherence with the requirements of the regulations.
Capital and Liquidity Regulation
The Company and the Bank are subject to capital adequacy guidelines adopted by the Federal Reserve and OCC respectively.
For a further discussion of the capital adequacy guidelines, see “Part II—Item 7. MD&A—Capital Management,” “Part II—
Item 7. MD&A—Liquidity Risk Profile” and “Part II—Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data—Note 11—
Regulatory and Capital Adequacy.”
Basel III and U.S. Capital Rules
The Company and the Bank are subject to regulatory capital requirements established by the Federal Reserve and the OCC,
respectively (“Basel III Capital Rules”). The Basel III Capital Rules implement certain capital requirements published by the
Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (“Basel Committee”), along with certain provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act and other
capital provisions.
As a BHC with total consolidated assets of at least $250 billion but less than $700 billion and not exceeding any of the
applicable risk-based thresholds, the Company is a Category III institution under the Basel III Capital Rules.
10
Capital One Financial Corporation (COF)
The Bank, as a subsidiary of a Category III institution, is a Category III bank. Moreover, the Bank, as an insured depository
institution, is subject to prompt corrective action (“PCA”) capital regulations, as further described below.
Under the Basel III Capital Rules, we must maintain a minimum common equity Tier 1 (“CET1”) capital ratio of 4.5%, a Tier 1
capital ratio of 6.0%, and a total capital ratio of 8.0%, in each case in relation to risk-weighted assets. In addition, we must
maintain a minimum leverage ratio of 4.0% and a minimum supplementary leverage ratio of 3.0%. We are also subject to the
capital conservation buffer requirement and countercyclical capital buffer requirement (which is currently set at 0%), as
described below. Our capital and leverage ratios are calculated based on the Basel III standardized approach framework.
We have elected to exclude certain elements of accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) from our regulatory capital
as permitted for a Category III institution.
Global systemically important banks (“G-SIBs”) that are based in the U.S. are subject to an additional CET1 capital
requirement known as the “G-SIB Surcharge.” We are not a G-SIB based on the most recent available data and thus we are not
subject to a G-SIB Surcharge.
Stress Capital Buffer Rule
The Basel III Capital Rules require banking institutions to maintain a capital conservation buffer, composed of CET1 capital,
above the regulatory minimum ratios. Under the Federal Reserve’s final rule to implement the stress capital buffer requirement,
(the “Stress Capital Buffer Rule”), the Company’s “standardized approach capital conservation buffer” includes its stress
capital buffer requirement (as described below), any G-SIB Surcharge (which is not applicable to us) and the countercyclical
capital buffer requirement (which is currently set at 0%). Any determination to increase the countercyclical capital buffer
generally would be effective twelve months after the announcement of such an increase, unless the Federal Reserve, OCC and
the FDIC (collectively, “Federal Banking Agencies”) set an earlier effective date.
The Company’s stress capital buffer requirement is recalibrated every year based on the Company’s supervisory stress test
results. In particular, the Company’s stress capital buffer requirement equals, subject to a floor of 2.5%, the sum of (i) the
difference between the Company’s starting CET1 capital ratio and its lowest projected CET1 capital ratio under the severely
adverse scenario of the Federal Reserve’s supervisory stress test plus (ii) the ratio of the Company’s projected four quarters of
common stock dividends (for the fourth to seventh quarters of the planning horizon) to the projected risk-weighted assets for
the quarter in which the Company’s projected CET1 capital ratio reaches its minimum under the supervisory stress test.
Based on the Company’s 2022 supervisory stress test results, the Company’s stress capital buffer requirement for the period
beginning on October 1, 2022 through September 30, 2023 is 3.1%. Therefore, the Company’s minimum capital requirements
plus the standardized approach capital conservation buffer for CET1 capital, Tier 1 capital and total capital ratios under the
stress capital buffer framework are 7.6%, 9.1% and 11.1%, respectively, for the period from October 1, 2022 through
September 30, 2023.
The Stress Capital Buffer Rule does not apply to the Bank. The capital conservation buffer for the Bank continues to be fixed at
2.5%. Accordingly, the Bank’s minimum capital requirements plus its capital conservation buffer for CET1 capital, Tier 1
capital and total capital ratios are 7.0%, 8.5% and 10.5% respectively.
If the Company or the Bank fails to maintain its capital ratios above the minimum capital requirements plus the applicable
capital conservation buffer requirements, it will face increasingly strict automatic limitations on capital distributions and
discretionary bonus payments to certain executive officers.
See also “Dividends, Stock Repurchases and Transfers of Funds” below for more information about the stress capital buffer
determination timeline and process.
CECL Transition Rule
The Federal Banking Agencies adopted a final rule (“CECL Transition Rule”) that provides banking institutions an optional
five-year transition period to phase in the impact of the current expected credit losses (“CECL”) standard on their regulatory
capital (“CECL Transition Election”). We adopted the CECL standard (for accounting purposes) as of January 1, 2020, and
made the CECL Transition Election (for regulatory capital purposes) in the first quarter of 2020.
11
Capital One Financial Corporation (COF)
Pursuant to the CECL Transition Rule, a banking institution could elect to delay the estimated impact of adopting CECL on its
regulatory capital through December 31, 2021 and then phase in the estimated cumulative impact from January 1, 2022 through
December 31, 2024. For the “day 2” ongoing impact of CECL during the initial two years, the Federal Banking Agencies used a
uniform “scaling factor” of 25% as an approximation of the increase in the allowance under the CECL standard compared to the
prior incurred loss methodology. Accordingly, from January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2021, electing banking institutions
were permitted to add back to their regulatory capital an amount equal to the sum of the after-tax “day 1” CECL adoption
impact and 25% of the increase in the allowance since the adoption of the CECL standard. From January 1, 2022 through
December 31, 2024, the after-tax “day 1” CECL adoption impact and the cumulative “day 2” ongoing impact are being phased
in to regulatory capital at 25% per year. The following table summarizes the capital impact delay and phase in period on our
regulatory capital from years 2020 to 2025.

The “Market Risk Rule” supplements the Basel III Capital Rules by requiring institutions subject to the rule to adjust their risk-
based capital ratios to reflect the market risk in their trading book. The Market Risk Rule generally applies to institutions with
aggregate trading assets and liabilities equal to 10% or more of total assets or $1 billion or more. As of December 31, 2022, the
Company and CONA are subject to the Market Risk Rule. See “Part II一Item 7. MD&A一Market Risk Profile” for additional
information.
FDICIA and Prompt Corrective Action
FDICIA requires the Federal Banking Agencies to take PCA for banks that do not meet minimum capital requirements.
FDICIA establishes five capital ratio levels: well capitalized; adequately capitalized; undercapitalized; significantly
undercapitalized; and critically undercapitalized. The three undercapitalized categories are based upon the amount by which a
bank falls below the ratios applicable to an adequately capitalized institution. The capital categories relate to FDICIA’s PCA
provisions, and such capital categories may not constitute an accurate representation of the Bank’s overall financial condition or
prospects.
The Basel III Capital Rules updated the PCA framework to reflect new, higher regulatory capital minimums. For an insured
depository institution to be well capitalized, it must maintain a total risk-based capital ratio of 10% or more; a Tier 1 capital
ratio of 8% or more; a CET1 capital ratio of 6.5% or more; and a leverage ratio of 5% or more. An adequately capitalized
depository institution must maintain a total risk-based capital ratio of 8% or more; a Tier 1 capital ratio of 6% or more; a CET1
capital ratio of 4.5% or more; a leverage ratio of 4% or more; and, for Category III and certain other institutions, a
supplementary leverage ratio of 3% or more. The PCA provisions also authorize the Federal Banking Agencies to reclassify a
bank’s capital category or take other action against banks that are determined to be in an unsafe or unsound condition or to have
engaged in unsafe or unsound banking practices.
As an additional means to identify problems in the financial management of depository institutions, the Federal Banking
Agencies established certain non-capital safety and soundness standards as required by FDICIA. The standards relate generally
to operations and management, asset quality, interest rate exposure and executive compensation. The Federal Banking Agencies
are authorized to take action against institutions that fail to meet such standards.
Basel III and United States Liquidity Rules
The Basel Committee has published a liquidity framework that includes two standards for liquidity risk supervision. One
standard, the liquidity coverage ratio (“LCR”), seeks to promote short-term resilience by requiring organizations to hold
sufficient high-quality liquid assets (“HQLAs”) to survive a stress scenario lasting for 30 days. The other standard, the net
12
Capital One Financial Corporation (COF)
stable funding ratio (“NSFR”), seeks to promote longer-term resilience by requiring sufficient stable funding over a one-year
period based on the liquidity characteristics of the organization’s assets and activities.
The Company and the Bank are subject to the LCR standard as implemented by the Federal Reserve and OCC (the “LCR
Rule”). The LCR Rule requires each of the Company and the Bank to hold an amount of eligible HQLA that equals or exceeds
100% of its respective projected adjusted net cash outflows over a 30-day period, each as calculated in accordance with the
LCR Rule. The LCR Rule requires each of the Company and the Bank to calculate its respective LCR daily. In addition, the
Company is required to make quarterly public disclosures of its LCR and certain related quantitative liquidity metrics, along
with a qualitative discussion of its LCR.
As a Category III institution with less than $75 billion in weighted average short-term wholesale funding, the Company’s and
the Bank’s total net cash outflows are multiplied by an outflow adjustment percentage of 85%. Although the Bank may hold
more HQLA than it needs to meet its LCR requirements, the LCR Rule restricts the amount of such excess HQLA held at the
Bank (referred to as “Trapped Liquidity”) that can be included in the Company’s HQLA amount. Because we typically manage
the Bank’s LCR to levels well above 100%, the result is additional Trapped Liquidity as the Bank’s net cash outflows are
reduced by the outflow adjustment percentage of 85%.
The NSFR rule requires the Company and the Bank to maintain an amount of available stable funding, which is a weighted
measure of a company’s funding sources over a one-year time horizon, calculated by applying standardized weightings to
equity and liabilities based on their expected stability, that is no less than a specified percentage of its required stable funding,
which is calculated by applying standardized weightings to assets, derivatives exposures and certain other items based on their
liquidity characteristics. As a Category III institution, the Company and the Bank are each required to maintain available stable
funding in an amount at least equal to 85% of its required stable funding. The NSFR rule includes a semi-annual public
disclosure requirement, with the first disclosure due 45 days after the end of the second quarter of 2023.
Enhanced Prudential Standards and Other Related Requirements
We are subject to certain enhanced prudential standards under the Dodd-Frank Act, as amended by the Economic Growth,
Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act (“EGRRCPA”) and implemented by various regulations issued by the Federal
Banking Agencies. The Financial Stability Oversight Council (“FSOC”) may also issue recommendations to the Federal
Reserve or other primary financial regulatory agencies to apply new or enhanced standards to certain financial activities or
practices.
As part of the enhanced prudential standards, the Company is required to implement resolution planning for orderly resolution
in the event it faces material financial distress or failure. The FDIC issued similar rules regarding resolution planning applicable
to the Bank. In addition, the OCC has issued rules requiring banks with assets of $250 billion or more to develop recovery plans
detailing the actions they would take to remain a going concern when they experience considerable financial or operational
stress, but have not deteriorated to the point that resolution is imminent.
The enhanced prudential standards also include supervisory and company-run stress testing requirements (also known as the
“DFAST stress testing requirements”). In particular, the Federal Reserve is required to conduct annual stress tests on certain
covered companies, including us, to ensure that the covered companies have sufficient capital to absorb losses and continue
operations during adverse economic conditions, as well as to determine the Company’s stress capital buffer requirement as
described above. As a Category III institution, we are also required to conduct our own stress tests and publish the results of
such tests on our website or other public forum. The Company must disclose the results of its company-run stress test on a
biennial basis. The OCC has adopted a similar stress test rule requiring banks with at least $250 billion in assets, including the
Bank, to conduct their own company-run stress tests. Under that OCC rule, the Bank must also disclose the results of its stress
test on a biennial basis.
In addition, the Company is required to meet liquidity risk management standards, conduct internal liquidity stress tests, and
maintain a 30-day buffer of highly liquid assets, in each case, consistent with the requirements of the enhanced prudential
standards. These requirements are in addition to the LCR and NSFR rules, discussed above in “Basel III and United States
Liquidity Rules.” The enhanced prudential standards also require that the Company comply with, and hold capital
commensurate with, the requirements of, any regulations adopted by the Federal Reserve relating to capital planning and stress
tests. Stress testing and capital planning regulations are discussed further below under “Dividends, Stock Repurchases and
Transfers of Funds.” Finally, the Company is also required to establish and maintain an enterprise-wide Risk Management
Framework (“Framework”) that includes a risk committee and a chief risk officer.
13
Capital One Financial Corporation (COF)
Although not a requirement of the Dodd-Frank Act, the OCC established regulatory guidelines (“Heightened Standards
Guidelines”) that apply heightened standards to the governance and risk management practices of large institutions subject to its
supervision, including the Bank. The Heightened Standards Guidelines establish standards for the development and
implementation by the Bank of a risk governance framework.
Dividends, Stock Repurchases and Transfers of Funds
Under the Federal Reserve’s capital planning rules and related supervisory process (commonly referred to as Comprehensive
Capital Analysis and Review or “CCAR” requirements), a “covered BHC,” such as the Company, must submit a capital plan to
the Federal Reserve on an annual basis that contains a description of all planned capital actions, including dividends or stock
repurchases, over a nine-quarter planning horizon beginning with the first quarter of the calendar year the capital plan is
submitted (“CCAR cycle”).
The DFAST stress testing requirements, described above in “Enhanced Prudential Standards and Other Related Requirements,”
is a complementary exercise to CCAR. It is a forward-looking exercise conducted by the Federal Reserve and each covered
company to help assess whether a company has sufficient capital to absorb losses and continue operations during adverse
economic conditions.
Pursuant to the capital planning rules, the Company must file its capital plan with the Federal Reserve by April 5 of each year
(unless the Federal Reserve designates a later date), using data as of the end of the prior calendar year. The Federal Reserve will
release the results of the supervisory stress test and notify the Company of its stress capital buffer requirement by June 30 of
that year. The Company will have two business days from receipt of its stress capital buffer requirement to make any necessary
adjustments to its planned capital distributions. The Federal Reserve will then finalize the stress capital buffer requirement for
the Company and confirm the Company’s planned capital distributions by August 31 of that year. The Company’s final stress
capital buffer requirement will be effective from the fourth quarter of the year the capital plan is submitted through the third
quarter of the following year. The Company may make the planned capital distributions confirmed by the Federal Reserve. In
addition, under the Stress Capital Buffer Rule, the Company is no longer required to seek prior approval of the Federal Reserve
to make capital distributions in excess of those included in its capital plan so long as the Company is otherwise in compliance
with the capital rule’s automatic limitations on capital distributions.
The Federal Reserve has announced that it would maintain its pre-CECL framework for calculating allowances on loans in the
supervisory stress test through the 2023 cycle until the impact of CECL is better known and understood.
Dividends from the Company’s direct and indirect subsidiaries represent a major source of the funds we use to pay dividends on
our capital stock, make payments on our corporate debt securities and meet our other obligations. There are various federal law
limitations on the extent to which the Bank can finance or otherwise supply funds to the Company through dividends and loans.
These limitations include minimum regulatory capital requirements, federal banking law requirements concerning the payment
of dividends out of net profits or surplus, provisions of Sections 23A and 23B of the Federal Reserve Act and Regulation W
governing transactions between an insured depository institution and its affiliates, as well as general federal regulatory
oversight to prevent unsafe or unsound practices. In general, federal and applicable state banking laws prohibit insured
depository institutions, such as the Bank, from making dividend distributions without first obtaining regulatory approval if such
distributions are not paid out of available earnings or would cause the institution to fail to meet applicable capital adequacy
standards.
Investment in the Company and the Bank
Certain acquisitions of our capital stock may be subject to regulatory approval or notice under federal or state law. Investors are
responsible for ensuring that they do not, directly or indirectly, acquire shares of our capital stock in excess of the amount that
can be acquired without regulatory approval, including under the BHC Act and the Change in Bank Control Act (“CIBC Act”).
Federal law and regulations prohibit any person or company from acquiring control of the Company or the Bank without, in
most cases, prior written approval of the Federal Reserve or the OCC, as applicable. Control under the BHC Act exists if,
among other things, a person or company acquires more than 25% of any class of our voting stock or otherwise has a
controlling influence over us. A rebuttable presumption of control arises under the CIBC Act for a publicly traded BHC such as
ourselves if a person or company acquires more than 10% of any class of our voting stock.
Additionally, the Bank is a “bank” within the meaning of Chapter 7 of Title 6.2 of the Code of Virginia governing the
acquisition of interests in Virginia financial institutions (“Virginia Financial Institution Holding Company Act”). The Virginia
14
Capital One Financial Corporation (COF)
Financial Institution Holding Company Act prohibits any person or entity from acquiring, or making any public offer to
acquire, control of a Virginia financial institution or its holding company without making application to, and receiving prior
approval from, the Virginia Bureau of Financial Institutions.
Deposit Insurance Assessments
The Bank, as an insured depository institution, is a member of the Deposit Insurance Fund (“DIF”) maintained by the FDIC.
Through the DIF, the FDIC insures the deposits of insured depository institutions up to prescribed limits for each depositor. The
FDIC sets a Designated Reserve Ratio (“DRR”) for the DIF. To maintain the DIF, member institutions may be assessed an
insurance premium, and the FDIC may take action to increase insurance premiums if the DRR falls below its required level.
As of June 30, 2020, the DIF reserve ratio fell to 1.30 percent. The FDIC, as required under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act,
established a plan in September 2020, to restore the DIF reserve ratio to meet or exceed 1.35 percent within eight years. On
October 18, 2022, the FDIC finalized a rule that increases the initial base deposit insurance assessment rate schedules by 2 basis
points for all insured depository institutions to improve the likelihood that the DIF reserve ratio reaches 1.35 percent by the
statutory deadline of September 30, 2028. The rule took effect on January 1, 2023 and this increase will be reflected in the
Bank’s first quarterly assessment in 2023.
Source of Strength
Federal Reserve rules require a BHC to serve as a source of financial and managerial strength to its subsidiary banks (the so-
called “source of strength doctrine”). In addition, the Dodd-Frank Act requires a BHC to serve as a source of financial strength
to its subsidiary banks and requires the Federal Banking Agencies to jointly adopt new rules implementing this requirement.
Such rules have not yet been proposed.
FDIC Orderly Liquidation Authority
The Dodd-Frank Act provides the FDIC with liquidation authority that may be used to liquidate non-bank financial companies
and BHCs if the Treasury Secretary, in consultation with the President and based on the recommendation of the Federal
Reserve and other appropriate Federal Banking Agencies, determines that doing so is necessary, among other criteria, to
mitigate serious adverse effects on U.S. financial stability. Upon such a determination, the FDIC would be appointed receiver
and must liquidate the company in a way that mitigates significant risks to financial stability and minimizes moral hazard. The
costs of a liquidation of the company would be borne by shareholders and unsecured creditors and then, if necessary, by risk-
based assessments on large financial companies. The FDIC has issued rules implementing certain provisions of its liquidation
authority and may issue additional rules in the future.
Climate-related Developments
Climate change and the risks it may pose to financial institutions is an area of increased focus by the Federal Banking Agencies
as well as federal and state legislative bodies. In the future, new regulations or guidance may be issued, or other regulatory or
supervisory actions may be taken, in this area by the Federal Banking Agencies or other regulatory agencies, or new statutory
requirements may be adopted. For example, each of the Federal Banking Agencies has requested feedback on its respective
draft principles designed to support the identification and management of climate-related financial risks at regulated institutions
with more than $100 billion in total consolidated assets. The Federal Banking Agencies plan to use this feedback to inform
future guidance with respect to climate-related financial risk.
Regulation of Businesses by Authorities Outside the United States
The Bank is subject to laws and regulations in foreign jurisdictions where it operates, currently in the U.K. and Canada. In the
U.K., the Bank operates through COEP, which was established in 1999 and is an authorized payment institution regulated by
the Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”). COEP’s parent, Capital One Global Corporation, is wholly owned by the Bank and
is subject to regulation by the Federal Reserve as an “agreement corporation” under the Federal Reserve’s Regulation K. COEP
does not take deposits. In Canada, the Bank operates as an authorized foreign bank and is permitted to conduct its credit card
business in Canada through its Canadian branch, Capital One Bank (Canada Branch) (“Capital One Canada”). Capital One
Canada does not take deposits. The primary regulator of Capital One Canada is the Office of the Superintendent of Financial
Institutions.
15
Capital One Financial Corporation (COF)
The foreign legal and regulatory requirements to which the Company’s non-U.S. operation are subject include, among others,
those related to consumer protection, business practices, and data security and limits on interchange fees. For more information
on foreign regulatory activity concerning interchange fees, please see “Part I一Item 1A. Risk Factors” under the heading “Our
business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected by merchants’ increasing focus on the fees
charged by credit and debit card networks and by legislation and regulation impacting such fees.”
The Company also is subject to foreign legal and regulatory requirements regarding privacy, data protection and data security.
For example, in Canada and the U.K,. we are subject to the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act and
the U.K. General Data Protection Regulation, respectively. In addition, subject to certain limited exceptions, the European
Union (“EU”) General Data Protection Regulation applies EU data protection laws to companies controlling or processing
personal data of EU residents. These laws and regulations, and domestic laws and regulations that govern similar topics, may be
interpreted and applied differently from country to country and may create inconsistent or conflicting requirements. For more
information on privacy, data protection and data security requirements, please see “Privacy, Data Protection and Data Security.”

HUMAN CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our culture is rooted in putting people first with a focus on building and maintaining a workforce which fosters an inclusive
environment based on diversity of our people, ideas and the merit of our work. We prioritize the recruitment, development,
recognition and retention of the 55,943 employees worldwide that we had as of December 31, 2022, whom we refer to as
“associates.” The following disclosures provide information on our human capital resources, including certain human capital
objectives and measures that we focus on in managing our business.
Governance of Human Capital
Our full Board of Directors oversees our human capital management, including strategies, policies and practices, and diversity,
inclusion and belonging (“DIB”), and is assisted by our Board’s Compensation Committee and Governance and Nominating
Committee. Our Executive Committee, a committee of senior management which includes our Chief Human Resources Officer,
advises, assists and makes recommendations to our Chief Executive Officer and Board of Directors on human capital matters
such as human resource practices and programs, including general employee benefits and compensation programs. Our Chief
Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging Officer (“Chief DIB Officer”) provides an update, at least annually, on the progress, success
and challenges on workforce representation, trends and programs to the Board of Directors and Executive Committee.
Hiring, Retention and Development
We employ a comprehensive people strategy that includes significant investments in recruiting, sourcing and associate
development to attract and retain top talent from all backgrounds to help drive our business’ long-term success. We recruit
through a variety of channels, including professional partnerships, job fairs, online platforms, on-campus recruiting, diversity-
related recruiting events and initiatives, and internship and rotational programs, among others. We empower our associates to
learn new skills, meet personalized development goals, and grow their careers. Investment in associate training and professional
development is critical to maintaining our talent competitiveness. Our internal enterprise learning and development team blends
multiple approaches to learning to support associate development across lines of business, levels, and roles, including online
and live classroom training. In addition to formal programming provided by learning professionals, including regulatory
compliance, role-specific topics and others, our peer-to-peer learning strategy empowers associates to be both learners and
teachers, further enhancing a culture of learning. We also focus on cultivating talent with leadership development courses,
cohort-based programs, network building and coaching.
On a quarterly basis, we review our ability to attract and retain talent needed to deliver on our strategic business objectives.
Each line of business and staff group reviews hiring, tenure and attrition metrics as part of this assessment, and they implement
mitigation plans when needed.
Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging
We continuously strive to empower our associates to do great work by creating an equitable and inclusive workplace with a
culture of belonging that values diverse perspectives, fosters collaboration and encourages innovative ideas. We aim to create a
place where associates of all backgrounds can thrive by bringing their best, most authentic selves to work. Our diversity and
inclusion efforts are overseen by our Chief DIB Officer. This culture of belonging rests at the heart of our DIB efforts. Central
to this effort are our business resource groups, associate-led organizations which deepen our understanding of different cultures,
backgrounds and experiences, and enable associates to build connections, invest in their professional development, and support
our commitment to attract, develop and retain a diverse workforce. In addition, our Chief Executive Officer and the Executive
Committee engage with leaders of our business resource groups to identify opportunities to further our DIB agenda, enact
positive change and build on existing initiatives designed to nurture our culture and workplace environment.
Growing the diversity of our workforce at all levels, with an emphasis on leader and executive roles, is an important component
of our comprehensive DIB strategy. As of December 31, 2022, key measures of our workforce representation include:
•
•
•
Of the 12 members of our Board of Directors, 3 are women and 3 are people of color;
In the U.S., of the associates who are vice president level and above, approximately 33% are women and 28% are
people of color;
In the U.S., approximately 52% of associates are people of color; and
17
Capital One Financial Corporation (COF)
• Worldwide, approximately 51% of associates are women and 49% of associates are men.
Our corporate website contains additional information regarding programs and other information integral to our philosophy of
diversity, inclusion and belonging. We believe in the importance of transparency and will also provide on our website the
Consolidated EEO-1 Report in addition to submitting to the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
Compensation and Wellness
We are committed to providing a competitive total compensation package that will attract, retain and motivate talent to help
drive our business’ long-term success. Our benefits, including competitive parental leave, on-site health centers, flexible work
solutions, company contributions to associates’ 401(k) plans, educational assistance and other health, wellness, and financial
benefits, are all designed to help associates grow and develop inside and outside of the workplace. Furthermore, pay equity has
long been a core tenet of our pay philosophy and is central to our values. We annually evaluate base pay and incentive pay for
all of our associates globally. This review and evaluation may occur more frequently as deemed necessary and prudent. We
review groups of associates in similar roles, adjusting for factors that appropriately explain differences in pay such as job
location and experience. Based on our analysis, our aggregated adjusted pay gap results show that we pay women 100% of what
men are paid, and we pay people of color in the U.S. 100% of what white associates are paid. We use statistical modeling to
understand what drives pay gaps, instill new practices to eliminate pay gaps in the future, and if we find unexplained pay gaps,
we close them.
Communication and Connection
We communicate with our associates regularly to understand their perspectives and to hear their voices. Our senior leaders and
Chief Executive Officer also communicate directly on societal events impacting our associates. To assess and improve associate
retention and engagement, the Company surveys associates on a periodic basis with the assistance of third-party consultants and
takes actions to address areas of associate concern. We encourage full participation and use the results to effect change and
promote transparency.

TECHNOLOGY AND INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
Technology/Systems
We leverage information and technology to achieve our business objectives and to develop and deliver products and services
that satisfy our customers’ needs. A key part of our strategic focus is the development and use of efficient, flexible computer
and operational systems, such as cloud technology, to support complex marketing and account management strategies, the
servicing of our customers, and the development of new and diversified products. We believe that the continued development
and integration of these systems is an important part of our efforts to reduce costs, improve quality and security and provide
faster, more flexible technology services. Consequently, we frequently consider our capabilities and develop or acquire
systems, processes and competencies to meet our unique business requirements.
As part of our frequent consideration of our technologies, we may either develop such capabilities internally or rely on third-
party service providers who have the ability to deliver technology that is of higher quality, lower cost, or both. We continue to
rely on third-party service providers to help us deliver systems and operational infrastructure. These relationships include (but
are not limited to): Amazon Web Services, Inc. (“AWS”) for our cloud infrastructure, Total System Services LLC (“TSYS”) for
consumer and commercial credit card processing services for our North American and U.K. portfolios and Fidelity Information
Services (“FIS”) for certain of our banking systems.
We are committed to implementing safeguards designed to protect our customers’ information, as well as our own information
and technology. We implement backup and recovery systems, and we generally require the same of our third-party service
providers. We take measures designed to mitigate against known attacks and use internal and external resources to scan for
vulnerabilities in platforms, systems, and applications necessary for delivering our products and services. For a discussion of
the risks associated with our use of technology systems, see “Part I—Item 1A. Risk Factors” under the headings “We face risks
related to our operational, technological and organizational infrastructure” and “A cyber-attack or other security incident,
including one that results in the theft, loss, manipulation or misuse of information (including personal information), or the
disabling of systems and access to information critical to business operations, may result in increased costs, reductions in
revenue, reputational damage, legal exposure and business disruptions.”
Intellectual Property and Other Proprietary Information
As part of our overall and ongoing strategy to protect and enhance our intellectual property, we rely on a variety of protections,
including copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents and certain restrictions on disclosure, solicitation and competition. We
also undertake other measures to control access to, or distribution of, our other proprietary and confidential information. Any
patents we may obtain may increase our competitive advantage, preserve our freedom to operate, and allow us to enter into
licensing (e.g., cross-licenses) or other arrangements with third parties. For a discussion of risks associated with intellectual
property, see “Part I—Item 1A. Risk Factors” under the heading “If we are not able to protect our intellectual property, our
revenue and profitability could be negatively affected.”

General Economic and Market Risks
Changes and instability in the macroeconomic environment, consumer confidence and customer behavior may adversely
affect our business.
We offer a broad array of financial products and services to consumers, small businesses and commercial clients. A prolonged
period of economic volatility, slow growth, or a significant deterioration in economic conditions, in the U.S., Canada or the
U.K., could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations as customers default on their
loans, maintain lower deposit levels or, in the case of credit card accounts, carry lower balances and reduce credit card purchase
activity.
Some of the risks we face in connection with adverse changes and instability in the macroeconomic environment and changes
in consumer confidence levels and behavior, include the following:
• Monetary policies and actions taken by the Federal Reserve and other central banks or governmental authorities;
•
•
•
•
•
Economic deterioration due to escalation of military hostilities or other geopolitical instabilities;
Changes in payment patterns, increases or fluctuations in delinquencies and default rates, decreased consumer spending,
inflation, fluctuation in interest rates, lower demand for credit and shifts in consumer behavior, including deposits and
payments;
Increases in our charge-off rate caused by bankruptcies and reduced ability to recover debt that we have previously
charged-off;
Recent changes in usage of commercial real estate, which may have a sustained negative impact on utilization rates and
values;
Decreased reliability of the process and models, including those we use to estimate our allowance for credit losses,
particularly if unexpected variations in key inputs and assumptions cause actual losses to diverge from the projections of
our models and our estimates become increasingly subject to management’s judgment. See “We face risks resulting from
the extensive use of models and data.”
The U.K. and the EU agreed to a free trade deal at the end of 2020 relating to the U.K.’s exit from the EU. Although this deal
has provided greater near-term stability, there is still some degree of uncertainty as to the relationship between the U.K and the
EU, which may increase volatility in the regional and global financial markets. In addition, the global economy, including
economic conditions in the U.K., has been negatively impacted by the war between Russia and Ukraine. Continued escalation
of geopolitical tensions related to the war, including increased trade barriers or restrictions on global trade, could further
deteriorate international economic conditions. We continue to consider and monitor the potential impacts of the relationship
between the U.K. and EU, as well as the war between Russia and Ukraine.
Fluctuations in market interest rates or volatility in the capital markets could adversely affect our business.
Like other financial institutions, our business is sensitive to interest rate movements and the performance of the capital markets.
We rely on access to the capital markets to fund our operations and to grow our business. Our ability to borrow from other
financial institutions or to engage in funding transactions on favorable terms or at all could be adversely affected by disruptions,
uncertainty or volatility in the capital markets or other events, including changing credit rating agency requirements. For
example, a credit rating downgrade could affect our ability to access the capital markets, increase our funding costs and have a
negative impact on our results of operations. Additionally, increased charge-offs, rising interest rates and other events may
cause our securitization transactions to amortize earlier than scheduled or reduce the value of the securities that we hold for
liquidity purposes, which could accelerate our need for additional funding from other sources.
Additionally, changes in interest rates could adversely affect the results of our operations and financial condition. For example,
we borrow money from other institutions and depositors, which we use to make loans to customers and invest in debt securities
and other interest-earning assets. We earn interest on these loans and assets and pay interest on the money we borrow from
institutions and depositors. In response to inflationary pressures, the Federal Reserve has reversed its policy of maintaining the
low benchmark federal funds interest rate over the last several years. In March 2022, the Federal Reserve began increasing the
benchmark federal funds interest rate and has signaled its intention to continue to raise interest rates in an effort to tame
23
Capital One Financial Corporation (COF)
inflation. Thus, the amount of interest that we pay on certain borrowings has increased and could increase further. Additionally,
a shrinking yield premium between short-term and long-term market interest rates and in the relationship between our funding
basis rate and our lending basis rate and inflation could affect our profitability.
We assess our interest rate risk by estimating the effect on our earnings, economic value and capital under various scenarios that
differ based on assumptions about the direction and the magnitude of interest rate changes. We take risk mitigation actions
based on those assessments. We face the risk that changes in interest rates could materially reduce our net interest income and
our earnings, especially if actual conditions turn out to be materially different than those we assumed. See “Part II—Item 7.
MD&A—Market Risk Profile” for additional information.
Furthermore, interest rate fluctuations and competitor responses to those changes may affect the rate of customer prepayments
for auto and other term loans and may affect the balances customers carry on their credit cards and their balances in the deposits
accounts they have with us. For example, increases in interest rates increase debt service requirements for some of our
borrowers, which may adversely affect those borrowers’ ability to pay as contractually obligated. This could result in additional
or fluctuating delinquencies or charge-offs and negatively impact our results of operations. These changes can reduce the
overall yield on our interest-earning asset portfolio. An inability to attract or maintain deposits could materially affect our
ability to fund our business and our liquidity position. Many other financial institutions have increased their reliance on deposit
funding and, as such, we expect continued competition in the deposit markets. We cannot predict how this competition will
affect our costs. If we are required to offer higher interest rates to attract or maintain deposits, our funding costs will be
adversely impacted. Changes in valuations in the debt and equity markets could have a negative impact on the assets we hold in
our investment portfolio. Such market changes could also have a negative impact on the valuation of assets for which we
provide servicing.
Our results of operations may be adversely affected by the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Although the global economy has begun to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, certain adverse consequences of the
pandemic, including labor shortages, disruptions of global supply chains and inflationary pressures, continue to impact the
macroeconomic environment and could adversely affect our business. Should these ongoing effects of the pandemic continue
for an extended period or worsen, our purchase volume, loan balances and the overall demand for our products and services
may be significantly impacted, which could adversely affect our financial condition and other results of operations. In addition,
we could experience higher credit losses in our loan portfolios and increases in our allowance for credit losses beyond current
levels. We could also experience impairments of other financial assets and other negative impacts on our financial position,
including possible constraints on liquidity and capital, as well as higher costs of capital. Long-term consequences of the
COVID-19 pandemic on our business, results of operations and financial condition, as well as our capital and liquidity ratios
and our ability to take capital actions, will depend on future developments that remain uncertain, including, for example, future
actions taken by governmental authorities, central banks and other third parties in response to the pandemic and the effects on
our customers, counterparties, associates and third-party service providers.
In the third quarter of 2022, we moved our associates to a hybrid work model. As a result we may experience increased costs
and/or disruption as we experiment with hybrid work models, in addition to potential effects on our ability to operate effectively
and maintain our corporate culture. We will continue to monitor local conditions to ensure the safety of our associates and
customers while providing critical banking services. We may take further actions as required by government authorities or that
we otherwise determine are in the best interests of our customers, associates and business partners. These measures could
impair our ability to perform critical functions and may adversely impact our results of operations.
Credit Risk
We may experience increases or fluctuations in delinquencies and credit losses, inaccurate estimates and inadequate
reserves.
Like other lenders, we face the risk that our customers will not repay their loans. A customer’s ability and willingness to repay
us can be adversely affected by decreases in the income of the borrower or increases in their payment obligations to other
lenders, whether as a result of higher debt levels or rising interest rates, by rising levels of inflation, or by restricted availability
of credit generally. We may fail to quickly identify and reduce our exposure to customers that are likely to default on their
payment obligations, whether by closing credit lines or restricting authorizations. Our ability to manage credit risk also is
affected by legal or regulatory changes (such as restrictions on collections, bankruptcy laws, minimum payment regulations and
24
Capital One Financial Corporation (COF)
re-age guidance), competitors’ actions and consumer behavior, and depends on the effectiveness of our collections staff,
techniques and models.
Rising losses or leading indicators of rising losses (such as higher delinquencies, charge-offs, higher rates of nonperforming
loans, higher bankruptcy rates, lower collateral values, elevated unemployment rates or changing market terms) may require us
to increase our allowance for credit losses, which would decrease our profitability if we are unable to raise revenue or reduce
costs to compensate for higher losses. In particular, we face the following risks in this area:
• Missed Payments: Our customers may miss payments. Loan charge-offs (including from bankruptcies) are generally
preceded by missed payments or other indications of worsening financial condition for our customers. Historically,
customers are more likely to miss payments during an economic downturn, recession, periods of high unemployment, or
prolonged periods of slow economic growth. In addition, we face the risk that consumer and commercial customer
behavior may change (for example, an increase in the unwillingness or inability of customers to repay debt, which may
be heightened by increasing interest rates or levels of consumer debt), causing a long-term rise or fluctuations in
delinquencies and charge-offs.
•
•
•
•
Incorrect Estimates of Expected Losses: The credit quality of our portfolio can have a significant impact on our earnings.
We allow for and reserve against credit risks based on our assessment of expected credit losses in our loan portfolios.
This process, which is critical to our financial condition and results of operations, requires complex judgments, including
forecasts of economic conditions. We may underestimate our expected losses and fail to hold an allowance for credit
losses sufficient to account for these losses. Incorrect assumptions could lead to material underestimations of expected
credit losses and an inadequate allowance for credit losses. See “We face risks resulting from the extensive use of models
and data.”
Inaccurate Underwriting: Our ability to accurately assess the creditworthiness of our customers may diminish, which
could result in an increase in our credit losses and a deterioration of our returns. See “Our risk management strategies
may not be fully effective in mitigating our risk exposures in all market environments or against all types of risk.”
Business Mix: We engage in a diverse mix of businesses with a broad range of potential credit exposure. Because we
originate a relatively greater proportion of consumer loans in our loan portfolio compared to other large bank peers and
originate both prime and subprime credit card accounts and auto loans, we may experience higher delinquencies and a
greater number of accounts charging off, as well as greater fluctuations in those metrics, compared to other large bank
peers, which could result in increased credit losses, operating costs and regulatory scrutiny. Additionally, a change in this
business mix over time to include proportionally more consumer loans or subprime credit card accounts or auto loans
could adversely affect the credit quality of our portfolio.
Increasing Charge-off Recognition/Allowance for Credit Losses: We account for the allowance for credit losses
according to accounting and regulatory guidelines and rules, including Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”)
standards and the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (“FFIEC”) Account Management Guidance. We
measure our allowance for credit losses under the CECL standard, which is based on management’s best estimate of
expected lifetime credit losses. The impact of measuring our allowance for credit losses on our results will depend on
the characteristics of our financial instruments, economic conditions, and our economic and loss forecasts. The
application of the CECL standard may require us to increase reserves faster and to a higher level in an economic
downturn, resulting in greater adverse impact to our results and our capital ratios than we would have experienced in
similar circumstances prior to the adoption of CECL. In addition, because credit cards represent a significant portion of
our product mix, we could be disproportionately affected by use of the CECL standard, as compared to our large bank
peers with a different product mix.
25
Capital One Financial Corporation (COF)
•
•
Insufficient Asset Values: The collateral we have on secured loans could be insufficient to compensate us for credit
losses. When customers default on their secured loans, we attempt to recover collateral where permissible and
appropriate. However, the value of the collateral may not be sufficient to compensate us for the amount of the unpaid
loan, and we may be unsuccessful in recovering the remaining balance from our customers. Decreases in real estate and
other asset values adversely affect the collateral value for our commercial lending activities, while the auto business is
similarly exposed to collateral risks arising from the auction markets that determine used car prices. Borrowers may be
less likely to continue making payments on loans if the value of the property used as collateral for the loan is less than
what the borrower owes, even if the borrower is still financially able to make the payments. In that circumstance, the
recovery of such property could be insufficient to compensate us for the value of these loans upon a default. In our auto
business, business and economic conditions that negatively affect household incomes, housing prices and consumer
behavior, as well as technological advances that make older cars obsolete faster, could decrease (i) the demand for new
and used vehicles and (ii) the value of the collateral underlying our portfolio of auto loans, which could cause the number
of consumers who become delinquent or default on their loans to increase.
Geographic and Industry Concentration: Although our consumer lending is geographically diversified, approximately
40% of our commercial real estate loan portfolio is concentrated in the Northeast region. The regional economic
conditions in the Northeast affect the demand for our commercial products and services as well as the ability of our
customers to repay their commercial real estate loans and the value of the collateral securing these loans. An economic
downturn or prolonged period of slow economic growth in, or a catastrophic event or natural disaster that
disproportionately affects the Northeast region could have a material adverse effect on the performance of our
commercial real estate loan portfolio and our results of operations. In addition, our Commercial Banking strategy
includes an industry-specific focus. If any of the industries that we focus on experience changes, we may experience
increased credit losses and our results of operations could be adversely impacted.
Capital and Liquidity Risk
We may not be able to maintain adequate capital or liquidity levels or may become subject to revised capital or liquidity
requirements, which could have a negative impact on our financial results and our ability to return capital to our
stockholders.
Financial institutions are subject to extensive and complex capital and liquidity requirements, which are subject to change.
These requirements affect our ability to lend, grow deposit balances, make acquisitions and distribute capital. Failure to
maintain adequate capital or liquidity levels, whether due to adverse developments in our business or the economy or to
changes in the applicable requirements, could subject us to a variety of restrictions and/or remedial actions imposed by our
regulators. These include limitations on the ability to pay dividends and/or repurchase shares and the issuance of a capital
directive to increase capital. Such limitations or capital directive could have a material adverse effect on our business and
results of operations.
We consider various factors in the management of capital, including the impact of both internal and supervisory stress scenarios
on our capital levels as determined by our internal modeling and the Federal Reserve’s estimation of losses in supervisory stress
scenarios that are used to annually set our stress capital buffer requirement. There can be significant differences between our
modeling and the Federal Reserve’s projections for a given supervisory stress scenario and between the capital needs suggested
by our internal stress scenarios and the supervisory scenarios. Therefore, although our estimated capital levels under stress
disclosed as part of the stress testing processes may suggest that we have a particular capacity to return capital to stockholders
and remain well capitalized under stress, the Federal Reserve’s modeling, our internal modeling of another scenario and/or
other factors related to our capital management process may reflect a lower capacity to return capital to stockholders than that
indicated by the projections released in the stress testing processes. This in turn, could lead to restrictions on our ability to pay
dividends and engage in share repurchases. See “Part I—Item 1. Business—Supervision and Regulation” for additional
information.
We also consider various factors in the management of liquidity, including maintaining sufficient liquid assets to meet the
requirements of several internal and regulatory stress tests. There can be significant differences in estimated liquidity needs
between internal and regulatory stress testing, and liquidity resources required to meet regulatory requirements, such as
applicable LCR and NSFR requirements, may exceed what would otherwise be required to satisfy internal liquidity metrics and
stress testing. Regulatory liquidity stress testing and regulatory liquidity requirements may, therefore, require us to take actions
to increase our liquid assets or alter our activities or funding sources, which could negatively affect our financial results or our
26
Capital One Financial Corporation (COF)
ability to return capital to our stockholders. See “Part I—Item 1. Business—Supervision and Regulation” for additional
information.
In addition, changes to applicable capital and liquidity requirements could result in increased expenses or unexpected or new
limitations on our ability to pay dividends and engage in share repurchases.
Limitations on our ability to receive dividends from our subsidiaries could affect our liquidity and ability to pay dividends
and repurchase common stock.
We are a separate and distinct legal entity from our subsidiaries, including the Bank and our broker-dealer subsidiaries.
Dividends to us from these direct and indirect subsidiaries have represented a major source of funds for us to pay dividends on
our common and preferred stock, repurchase common stock, make payments on corporate debt securities and meet other
obligations. These capital distributions may be limited by law, regulation or supervisory policy. There are various federal law
limitations on the extent to which the Bank can finance or otherwise supply funds to us through dividends and loans. These
limitations include minimum regulatory capital requirements, federal banking law requirements concerning the payment of
dividends out of net profits or surplus, and Sections 23A and 23B of the Federal Reserve Act and Regulation W governing
transactions between an insured depository institution and its affiliates, as well as general federal regulatory oversight to
prevent unsafe or unsound practices. Our broker-dealer subsidiaries are also subject to laws and regulations, including net
capital requirements, that may limit their ability to pay dividends or make other distributions to us. If our subsidiaries’ earnings
are not sufficient to make dividend payments to us while maintaining adequate capital levels, our liquidity may be affected and
we may not be able to make dividend payments to our common or preferred stockholders, repurchase our common stock, make
payments on outstanding corporate debt securities or meet other obligations, each and any of which could have a material
adverse impact on our results of operations, our financial position or the perception of our financial health. The frequency and
size of any future dividends to our stockholders and stock repurchases will depend upon regulatory limitations imposed by the
Federal Banking Agencies and the SEC and our results of operations, financial condition, capital levels, cash requirements,
future prospects, regulatory review and other factors as further described in “Part I—Item 1. Business—Supervision and
Regulation.”
Operational Risk
We face risks related to our operational, technological and organizational infrastructure.
Our ability to retain and attract customers depends on our ability to develop, operate, and adapt our technology and
organizational infrastructure in a rapidly changing environment. In addition, we must accurately process, record and monitor an
increasingly large number of complex transactions. Digital technology, cloud-based services, data and software development
are deeply embedded into our business model and how we work.
Similar to other large corporations in our industry, we are exposed to operational risk that can manifest itself in many ways,
such as errors in execution, inadequate processes, inaccurate models, faulty or disabled technological infrastructure, malicious
disruption and fraud by employees or persons outside of our company, whether through attacks on Capital One directly or on
our customers. In addition, the increasing use of near real-time money movement solutions, among other risks, increases the
complexity of preventing, detecting and recovering fraudulent transactions. In addition, we are heavily dependent on the
security, capability, integrity and continuous availability of the technology systems that we use to manage our internal financial
and other systems, monitor risk and compliance with regulatory requirements, provide services to our customers, develop and
offer new products and communicate with stakeholders. We also face risk of adverse customer impacts and business disruption
arising from the execution of strategic initiatives and operational plans we may pursue across our operations.
If we do not maintain the necessary operational, technological and organizational infrastructure to operate our business,
including to maintain the resiliency and security of that infrastructure, our business and reputation could be materially adversely
affected. We also are subject to disruptions to our systems arising from events that are wholly or partially beyond our control,
which may include computer viruses, electrical or telecommunications outages, bugs, design flaws in foundational components
or platforms, availability and quality of vulnerability patches from key vendors, cyber-attacks and other security incidents,
natural disasters, other damage to property or physical assets, or events arising from local or larger scale politics, including
terrorist acts. Any failure to maintain our infrastructure or prevent disruption of our systems and applications could diminish
our ability to operate our businesses, service customer accounts and protect customers’ information, or result in potential
liability to customers, reputational damage, regulatory intervention and customers’ loss of confidence in our businesses, any of
which could result in a material adverse effect.
27
Capital One Financial Corporation (COF)
We also rely on the business infrastructure and systems of third parties with which we do business and to whom we outsource
the operation, maintenance and development of our information technology and communications systems. We have
substantially migrated all aspects of our core information technology systems and customer-facing applications to third-party
cloud infrastructure platforms, principally AWS. If we fail to architect, administer or oversee these environments in a well-
managed, secure and effective manner, or if such platforms become unavailable, are disrupted, fail to scale, do not operate as
designed, or do not meet their service level agreements for any reason, we may experience unplanned service disruption or
unforeseen costs which could result in material harm to our business and operations. We must successfully develop and
maintain information, financial reporting, disclosure, privacy, data protection, data security and other controls adapted to our
reliance on outside platforms and providers. In addition, AWS, or other service providers could experience system or
telecommunication breakdowns or failures, outages, degradation in service, downtime, failure to scale, software bugs, cyber-
attacks and other security incidents, adverse changes to financial condition, bankruptcy, or other adverse conditions, (including
conditions which interfere with our access to and use of AWS), which could have a material adverse effect on our business and
reputation. Thus, the substantial amount of our infrastructure that we outsource to AWS or to other third parties may increase
our risk exposure.
Any disruptions, failures or inaccuracies of our operational processes, technology systems and models, including those
associated with improvements or modifications to such technology systems and models, could cause us to be unable to market
and manage our products and services, manage our risk, meet our regulatory obligations or report our financial results in a
timely and accurate manner, all of which could have a negative impact on our results of operations. In addition, our ongoing
investments in infrastructure, which are necessary to maintain a competitive business, integrate acquisitions and establish
scalable operations, may increase our expenses. As our business develops, changes or expands, additional expenses can arise as
a result of a reevaluation of business strategies, management of outsourced services, asset purchases or other acquisitions,
structural reorganization, compliance with new laws or regulations, the integration of newly acquired businesses, or the
prevention or occurrence of cyber-attacks and other security incidents. If we are unable to successfully manage our expenses,
our financial results will be negatively affected. Changes to our business, including those resulting from our strategic
objectives, also requires robust governance to ensure that our objectives are executed as intended without adversely impacting
our customers, associates, operations or financial performance. Ineffective change management oversight and governance over
the execution of our strategic objectives could expose us to operational, strategic and reputational risk and could negatively
impact customers or our financial performance.
A cyber-attack or other security incident, including one that results in the theft, loss, manipulation or misuse of information
(including personal information), or the disabling of systems and access to information critical to business operations, may
result in increased costs, reductions in revenue, reputational damage, legal exposure and business disruptions.
Our ability to provide our products and services, many of which are internet-based, and communicate with our customers,
depends upon the management and safeguarding of information systems and infrastructure, networks, software, data,
technology, methodologies and business secrets, including those of our service providers. Our products and services involve the
collection, authentication, management, usage, storage, transmission and eventual destruction of sensitive and confidential
information, including personal information, regarding our customers and their accounts, our employees, our partners and other
third parties with which we do business. We also have arrangements in place with third parties through which we share and
receive information about their customers who are or may become our customers. The financial services industry, including
Capital One, is particularly at risk because of the use of and reliance on digital banking products and other digital services,
including mobile banking products, such as mobile payments, and other internet- and cloud-based products and applications,
and the development of additional remote connectivity solutions, which increase cybersecurity risks and exposure. Consumer
acceptance and use of such digital banking products and services has substantially increased since the onset of the COVID
pandemic.
Technologies, systems, networks, and other devices of Capital One, as well as those of our employees, service providers,
partners and other third parties with whom we interact, have been and may continue to be the subject of cyber-attacks and other
security incidents, including computer viruses, hacking, malware, ransomware, supply chain attacks, vulnerabilities, credential
stuffing, or phishing or other forms of social engineering. Such cyber-attacks and other security incidents are designed to lead
to various harmful outcomes, such as unauthorized transactions in Capital One accounts, unauthorized or unintended access to
or release, gathering, monitoring, disclosure, loss, destruction, corruption, disablement, encryption, misuse, modification or
other processing of confidential or sensitive information (including personal information), intellectual property, software,
methodologies or business secrets, disruption, sabotage or degradation of service, systems or networks, or other damage. These
threats may derive from, among other things, error, fraud or malice on the part of our employees, insiders, or third parties or
may result from accidental technological failure or design flaws. Any of these parties may also attempt to fraudulently induce
28
Capital One Financial Corporation (COF)
employees, service providers, customers, partners or other third-party users of our systems or networks to disclose confidential
or sensitive information (including personal information) in order to gain access to our systems, networks or data or that of our
customers, partners, or third parties with whom we interact, or to unlawfully obtain monetary benefit through misdirected or
otherwise improper payment. For instance, any party that obtains our confidential or sensitive information (including personal
information) through a cyber-attack or other security incident may use this information for ransom, to be paid by us or a third
party, as part of a fraudulent activity that is part of a broader criminal activity, or for other illicit purposes.
For example, on July 29, 2019, we announced that on March 22 and 23, 2019 an outside individual gained unauthorized access
to our systems (the “Cybersecurity Incident”). This individual obtained certain types of personal information relating to people
who had applied for our credit card products and to our credit card customers. While the Cybersecurity Incident has been
remediated, it has resulted in fines, litigation, settlements, government investigations and other regulatory enforcement
inquiries, as well as consent orders with the Federal Reserve and the OCC. On August 31, 2022, the OCC terminated its consent
order. Cyber and information security risks for large financial institutions like us continue to increase due to the proliferation of
new technologies, the industry-wide shift to reliance upon the internet to conduct financial transactions, and the increased
sophistication and activities of malicious actors, organized crime, perpetrators of fraud, hackers, terrorists, activists, extremist
parties, formal and informal instrumentalities of foreign governments, state-sponsored actors and other external parties. In
addition, our customers access our products and services using personal devices that are necessarily external to our security
control systems. There has also been a significant proliferation of consumer information available on the internet resulting from
breaches of third-party entities, including personal information, log-in credentials and authentication data. While we were not
directly involved in these third-party breach events, the stolen information can create a threat for our customers if their Capital
One log-in credentials are the same as or similar to the credentials that have been compromised on other internet sites. This
threat could include the risk of unauthorized account access, data loss and fraud. The use of artificial intelligence, “bots” or
other automation software can increase the velocity and efficacy of these types of attacks. As our employees are currently
operating under our hybrid work model, our remote interaction with service providers, partners and other third parties on
systems, networks and environments over which we have less control increases our cybersecurity risk exposure. We will likely
face an increasing number of attempted cyber-attacks as we expand our mobile and other internet-based products and services,
as well as our usage of mobile and cloud technologies and as we provide more of these services to a greater number of retail
banking customers.
The methods and techniques employed by malicious actors change frequently, are increasingly sophisticated and often are not
fully recognized or understood until after they have occurred, and some techniques could occur and persist for an extended
period of time before being detected and remediated. For example, although we immediately fixed the configuration
vulnerability that was exploited in the Cybersecurity Incident once we discovered the unauthorized access, a period of time
elapsed between the occurrence of the unauthorized access and the time when we discovered it. In other circumstances, we and
our service providers and other third parties with which we interact may be unable to anticipate or identify certain attack
methods or techniques in order to implement effective preventative or detective measures or mitigate or remediate the damages
caused in a timely manner. We may also be unable to hire, develop and retain talent that keeps pace with the rapidly changing
cyber threat landscape, and which are capable of preventing, detecting, mitigating or remediating these risks. Although we seek
to maintain a robust suite of authentication and layered information security controls, any one or combination of these controls
could fail to prevent, detect, mitigate or remediate these risks in a timely manner.
A disruption or breach, including as a result of a cyber-attack such as the Cybersecurity Incident, or media reports of perceived
security vulnerabilities at Capital One or at our service providers, could result in significant legal and financial exposure,
regulatory intervention, litigation, remediation costs, card reissuance, supervisory liability, damage to our reputation or loss of
confidence in the security of our systems, products and services that could adversely affect our business. There can be no
assurance that unauthorized access or cyber incidents similar to the Cybersecurity Incident will not occur or that we will not
suffer material losses in the future. If future attacks are successful or if customers are unable to access their accounts online for
other reasons, it could adversely impact our ability to service customer accounts or loans, complete financial transactions for
our customers or otherwise operate any of our businesses or services. In addition, a breach or attack affecting one of our service
providers or other third parties with which we interact could harm our business even if we do not control the service that is
attacked.
Further, our ability to monitor our service providers’ cybersecurity practices is limited. Although the agreements that we have
in place with our service providers generally include requirements relating to cybersecurity and data privacy, we cannot
guarantee that such agreements will prevent a cyber incident impacting our systems or information or enable us to obtain
adequate or any reimbursement from our service providers in the event we should suffer any such incidents. However, due to
29
Capital One Financial Corporation (COF)
applicable laws and regulations or contractual obligations, we may be held responsible for cyber incidents attributed to our
service providers as they relate to the information we share with them.
In addition, the increasing prevalence and the evolution of cyber-attacks and other efforts to breach or disrupt our systems or
networks or those of our customers, service providers, partners or other third parties with which we interact has led, and will
likely continue to lead, to increased costs to us with respect to preventing, detecting, mitigating and remediating these risks, as
well as any related attempted fraud. In order to address ongoing and future risks, we must expend significant resources to
support protective security measures, investigate and remediate any vulnerabilities of our information systems and
infrastructure and invest in new technology designed to mitigate security risks. Further, high profile cyber incidents at Capital
One or other large financial institutions could lead to a general loss of customer confidence in financial institutions that could
negatively affect us, including harming the market perception of the effectiveness of our security measures or the global
financial system in general, which could result in reduced use of our financial products. We have insurance against some cyber
risks and attacks; nonetheless, our insurance coverage may not be sufficient to offset the impact of a material loss event
(including if our insurer denies coverage as to any particular claim in the future), and such insurance may increase in cost or
cease to be available on commercially reasonable terms, or at all, in the future.
Our required compliance with applicable laws and regulations related to privacy, data protection and data security may
increase our costs, reduce our revenue, increase our legal exposure and limit our ability to pursue business opportunities.
We are subject to a variety of continuously evolving and developing laws and regulations in the United States at the federal,
state and local level regarding privacy, data protection and data security, including those related to the collection, storage,
handling, use, disclosure, transfer, security and other processing of personal information. For example, at the federal level, we
are subject to the GLBA, among other laws and regulations. Moreover, the U.S. Congress is currently considering various
proposals for more comprehensive privacy, data protection and data security legislation, to which we may be subject if passed.
In addition, in November 2021, the Federal Reserve, OCC, and FDIC issued a final rule that, among other things, requires all
banking organizations in the United States to notify their primary federal regulators of certain material computer-security
incidents as soon as possible and no later than 36 hours after determining that the incident has occurred. The enactment of
CIRCIA, once rulemaking is complete, will require, among other things, certain companies to report significant cyber incidents
to the CISA within 72 hours from the time the company reasonably believes the incident occurred, and a proposed rule by the
SEC, if enacted, would mandate public disclosure of material cybersecurity incidents within four business days of determining
that such an incident has occurred. At the state level, California has enacted the California Privacy Rights Act (“CPRA”), and
various other states also have enacted or are in the process of enacting state-level privacy, data protection and/or data security
laws and regulations, with which we may be required to comply.
We also are, or may become, subject to continuously evolving and developing laws and regulations in other jurisdictions
regarding privacy, data protection and data security. For example, in Canada we are subject to the Personal Information
Protection and Electronic Documents Act (“PIPEDA”). In addition, subject to limited exceptions, the EU General Data
Projection Regulation (“EU GDPR”) applies EU data protection law to all companies processing personal data of EU residents,
regardless of the company’s location. We also are subject to the UK General Data Protection Regulation (“U.K. GDPR”),
which is how the EU GDPR has been implemented into U.K. law. These laws and regulations, and similar laws and regulations
in other jurisdictions, impose strict requirements regarding the collection, storage, handling, use, disclosure, transfer, security
and other processing of personal information, which may have adverse consequences, including significant compliance costs
and severe monetary penalties for non-compliance. Significant uncertainty exists as privacy, data protection, and data security
laws may be interpreted and applied differently from country to country and may create inconsistent or conflicting
requirements.
Further, we make public statements about our use, collection, disclosure and other processing of personal information through
our privacy policies, information provided on our website and press statements. Although we endeavor to comply with our
public statements and documentation, we may at times fail to do so or be alleged to have failed to do so. The publication of our
privacy policies and other statements that provide promises and assurances about privacy, data protection and data security can
subject us to potential government or legal action if they are found to be deceptive, unfair or misrepresentative of our actual
practices.
Our efforts to comply with GLBA, CPRA, PIPEDA, EU GDPR, U.K. GDPR and other privacy, data protection and data
security laws and regulations, as well as our posted privacy policies, and related contractual obligations to third parties, entail
substantial expenses, may divert resources from other initiatives and projects, and could limit the services we are able to offer.
Furthermore, enforcement actions and investigations by regulatory authorities related to data security incidents and privacy,
data protection and data security violations continue to increase. The enactment of more restrictive laws or regulations, or future
30
Capital One Financial Corporation (COF)
enforcement actions or investigations, could impact us through increased costs or restrictions on our business, and any
noncompliance or perceived noncompliance could result in monetary or other penalties, harm to our reputation and significant
legal liability.
We face risks resulting from the extensive use of models and data.
We rely on quantitative models and our ability to manage and aggregate data in an accurate and timely manner to assess and
manage our various risk exposures, create estimates and forecasts, and manage compliance with regulatory capital
requirements. Models may be used in processes such as determining the pricing of various products, grading loans and
extending credit, measuring interest rate and other market risks, predicting deposit levels or loan losses, assessing capital
adequacy, calculating managerial and regulatory capital levels, estimating the value of financial instruments and balance sheet
items, and other operational functions. Our risk reporting and management, including business decisions based on information
incorporating models, depend on the effectiveness of our models and our policies, programs, processes and practices governing
how data or models, as applicable, are acquired, validated, stored, protected, processed and analyzed. Any issues with the
quality or effectiveness of our data aggregation and validation procedures, as well as the quality and integrity of data inputs,
formulas or algorithms, could result in inaccurate forecasts, ineffective risk management practices or inaccurate risk reporting.
In addition, models based on historical data sets might not be accurate predictors of future outcomes and their ability to
appropriately predict future outcomes may degrade over time. While we continuously update our policies, programs, processes
and practices, many of our data management, modeling, aggregation and implementation processes are manual and may be
subject to human error, data limitations, process delays or system failure. Failure to manage data effectively and to aggregate
data in an accurate and timely manner may limit our ability to manage current and emerging risk, to produce accurate financial,
regulatory and operational reporting as well as to manage changing business needs. If our Framework is ineffective, we could
suffer unexpected losses which could materially adversely affect our results of operation or financial condition. Also, any
information we provide to the public or to our regulators based on poorly designed or implemented models could be inaccurate
or misleading. Some of the decisions that our regulators make, including those related to capital distribution to our
stockholders, could be affected adversely due to the perception that the quality of the models used to generate the relevant
information is insufficient.
Legal and Regulatory Risk
Compliance with new and existing laws, regulations and regulatory expectations is costly and complex.
A wide array of laws and regulations, including banking and consumer lending laws and regulations, apply to every aspect of
our business. We and our subsidiaries are also subject to supervision and examination by multiple regulators, and the manner in
which our regulators interpret applicable laws and regulations may affect how we comply with them. Failure to comply with
these laws and regulations, even if the failure was inadvertent or reflects a difference in interpretation, could subject us to
restrictions on our business activities, fines, criminal sanctions and other penalties, and/or damage to our reputation with
regulators, our customers or the public. Hiring, training and retaining qualified compliance and legal personnel, and establishing
and maintaining risk management and compliance-related systems, infrastructure and processes, is difficult and may lead to
increased expenses. These efforts and the associated costs could limit our ability to invest in other business opportunities.
Applicable rules and regulations may affect us disproportionately compared to our competitors or in an unforeseen manner. For
example, we have a large number of customer accounts in our credit card and auto lending businesses and we have made the
strategic choice to originate and service subprime credit card and auto loans, which typically have higher delinquencies and
charge-offs than prime customer accounts. As a result, we have significant involvement with credit bureau reporting and the
collection and recovery of delinquent and charged-off debt, primarily through customer communications, the filing of litigation
against customers in default, the periodic sale of charged-off debt and vehicle repossession. These and other consumer lending
activities are subject to enhanced legal and regulatory scrutiny from regulators, courts and legislators. Any future changes to or
legal liabilities resulting from our business practices in these areas, including our debt collection practices and the fees we
charge, whether mandated by regulators, courts, legislators or otherwise, could have a material adverse impact on our financial
condition.
The legislative and regulatory environment is beyond our control, may change rapidly and unpredictably, and may negatively
influence our revenue, costs, earnings, growth, liquidity and capital levels. For example, there may be future rulemaking in
emerging regulatory areas such as climate-related risks and new technologies. In addition, some rules and regulations may be
subject to litigation or other challenges that delay or modify their implementation and impact on us. Adoption of new
technologies, such as distributed ledger technologies, tokenization, cloud computing, artificial intelligence and machine
learning technologies, can present unforeseen challenges in applying and relying on existing compliance systems.
31
Capital One Financial Corporation (COF)
Certain laws and regulations, and any interpretations and applications with respect thereto, are generally intended to protect
consumers, borrowers, depositors, the DIF, the U.S. banking and financial system, and financial markets as a whole, but not
stockholders. Our success depends on our ability to maintain compliance with both existing and new laws and regulations. For a
description of the material laws and regulations, including those related to the consumer lending business, to which we are
subject, see “Part I—Item 1. Business—Supervision and Regulation.”
Our businesses are subject to the risk of increased litigation, government investigations and regulatory enforcement.
Our businesses are subject to increased litigation, government investigations and other regulatory enforcement risks as a result
of a number of factors and from various sources, including the highly regulated nature of the financial services industry, the
focus of state and federal prosecutors on banks and the financial services industry and the structure of the credit card industry.
Given the inherent uncertainties involved in litigation, government investigations and regulatory enforcement decisions, and the
very large or indeterminate damages sought in some matters asserted against us, there can be significant uncertainty as to the
ultimate liability we may incur from these kinds of matters. The finding, or even the assertion, of substantial legal liability
against us could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition and could cause significant reputational
harm to us, which could seriously harm our business. For example, the Cybersecurity Incident has resulted in litigation,
settlements, government investigations and other regulatory enforcement inquiries.
In addition, financial institutions, such as ourselves, face significant regulatory scrutiny, which can lead to public enforcement
actions or nonpublic supervisory actions. We and our subsidiaries are subject to comprehensive regulation and periodic
examination by, among other regulatory bodies, the Federal Banking Agencies, SEC, CFTC and CFPB. We have been subject
to enforcement actions by many of these and other regulators and may continue to be involved in such actions, including
governmental inquiries, investigations and enforcement proceedings, including by the OCC, Department of Justice, Financial
Crimes Enforcement Network (“FinCEN”) and state Attorneys General.
Over the last several years, federal and state regulators have focused on compliance with AML and sanctions laws, privacy,
data protection and data security, use of service providers, fair lending and other consumer protection issues. In August 2020,
we entered into consent orders with the Federal Reserve and the OCC resulting from regulatory reviews of the Cybersecurity
Incident and relating to ongoing enhancements of our cybersecurity and operational risk management processes, and we paid a
civil monetary penalty as part of the OCC agreement. On August 31, 2022, the OCC terminated its consent order. In January
2021, we also paid a civil monetary penalty assessed by FinCEN against the Bank in connection with AML violations alleged
to have occurred between 2008 and 2014. Regulatory scrutiny is expected to continue in these areas, including as a result of
implementation of the AML Act of 2020.
We expect that regulators and governmental enforcement bodies will continue taking public enforcement actions against
financial institutions in addition to addressing supervisory concerns through nonpublic supervisory actions or findings, which
could involve restrictions on our activities, or our ability to make acquisitions or otherwise expand our business, among other
limitations that could adversely affect our business. In addition, a violation of law or regulation by another financial institution
is likely to give rise to an investigation by regulators and other governmental agencies of the same or similar practices by us.
Furthermore, a single event may give rise to numerous and overlapping investigations and proceedings. These and other
initiatives from governmental authorities and officials may subject us to further judgments, settlements, fines or penalties, or
cause us to restructure our operations and activities or to cease offering certain products or services, all of which could harm our
reputation or lead to higher operational costs. Litigation, government investigations and other regulatory actions could generally
subject us to significant fines, increased expenses, restrictions on our activities and damage to our reputation and our brand, and
could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. For additional information regarding legal and
regulatory proceedings to which we are subject, see “Part II—Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data—Note 18
—Commitments, Contingencies, Guarantees and Others.”
Other Business Risks
We face intense competition in all of our markets.
We operate in a highly competitive environment across all of our lines of business, whether in making loans, attracting deposits
or in the global payments industry, and we expect competitive conditions to continue to intensify with respect to most of our
products particularly in our credit card and consumer banking business. We compete on the basis of the rates we pay on
deposits and the rates and other terms we charge on the loans we originate or purchase, as well as the quality and range of our
32
Capital One Financial Corporation (COF)
customer service, products, innovation and experience. This increasingly competitive environment is primarily a result of
changes in technology, product delivery systems and regulation, as well as the emergence of new or significantly larger
financial services providers, all of which may affect our customers’ expectations and demands. In addition to offering
competitive products and services, we invest in and conduct marketing campaigns to attract and inform customers. If our
marketing campaigns are unsuccessful, it may adversely impact our ability to attract new customers and grow market share.
Some of our competitors, including new and emerging competitors in the digital and mobile payments space and other financial
technology providers, are not subject to the same regulatory requirements or scrutiny to which we are subject, which also could
place us at a competitive disadvantage, in particular in the development of new technology platforms or the ability to rapidly
innovate. We compete with many forms of payments offered by both bank and non-bank providers, including a variety of new
and evolving alternative payment mechanisms, systems and products, such as aggregators and web-based and wireless payment
platforms or technologies, digital or cryptocurrencies, prepaid systems and payment services targeting users of social networks,
communications platforms and online gaming. If we are unable to continue to keep pace with innovation, do not effectively
market our products and services or are prohibited from or unwilling to enter emerging areas of competition, our business and
results of operations could be adversely affected.
Some of our competitors are substantially larger than we are, which may give those competitors advantages, including a more
diversified product and customer base, the ability to reach more customers and potential customers, operational efficiencies,
broad-based local distribution capabilities, lower-cost funding and larger existing branch networks. Many of our competitors
are also focusing on cross-selling their products and developing new products or technologies, which could affect our ability to
maintain or grow existing customer relationships or require us to offer lower interest rates or fees on our lending products or
higher interest rates on deposits. Competition for loans could result in origination of fewer loans, earning less on our loans or an
increase in loans that perform below expectations.
We operate as an online direct bank in the United States. While direct banking provides a significant opportunity to attract new
customers that value greater and more flexible access to banking services at reduced costs, we face strong and increasing
competition in the direct banking market. Aggressive pricing throughout the industry may adversely affect the retention of
existing balances and the cost-efficient acquisition of new deposit funds and may affect our growth and profitability. Customers
could also close their online accounts or reduce balances or deposits in favor of products and services offered by competitors
for other reasons. These shifts, which could be rapid, could result from general dissatisfaction with our products or services,
including concerns over pricing, online security or our reputation. The potential consequences of this competitive environment
are exacerbated by the flexibility of direct banking and the financial and technological sophistication of our online customer
base.
In our credit card business, competition for rewards customers may result in higher rewards expenses, or we may fail to attract
new customers or retain existing rewards customers due to increasing competition for these consumers. As of December 31,
2022, we have a number of large partnerships in our credit card loan portfolio. The market for key business partners, especially
in the credit card business, is very competitive, and we may not be able to grow or maintain these partner relationships or assure
that these relationships will be profitable or valued by our customers. Additionally, partners themselves may face changes in
their business, including market factors and ownership changes, that could impact the partnership. We face the risk that we
could lose partner relationships, even after we have invested significant resources into acquiring and developing the
relationships. The loss of key business partners could have a negative impact on our results of operations, including lower
returns, excess operating expense and excess funding capacity.
We depend on our partners to effectively promote our co-brand and private label products and integrate the use of our credit
cards into their retail operations. The failure by our partners to effectively promote and support our products as well as changes
they may make in their business models could adversely affect card usage and our ability to achieve the growth and profitability
objectives of our partnerships. In addition, if our partners do not adhere to the terms of our program agreements and standards,
or otherwise diminish the value of our brand, we may suffer reputational damage and customers may be less likely to use our
products.
Some of our competitors have developed, or may develop, substantially greater financial and other resources than we have, may
offer richer value propositions or a wider range of programs and services than we offer, or may use more effective advertising,
marketing or cross-selling strategies to acquire and retain more customers, capture a greater share of spending and borrowings,
attain and develop more attractive co-brand card programs and maintain greater merchant acceptance than we have. We may
not be able to compete effectively against these threats or respond or adapt to changes in consumer spending habits as
effectively as our competitors.
33
Capital One Financial Corporation (COF)
In such a competitive environment, we may lose entire accounts or may lose account balances to competing firms, or we may
find it more costly to maintain our existing customer base. Customer attrition from any or all of our lending products, together
with any lowering of interest rates or fees that we might implement to retain customers, could reduce our revenues and therefore
our earnings. Similarly, unexpected customer attrition from our deposit products, in addition to an increase in rates or services
that we may offer to retain deposits, may increase our expenses and therefore reduce our earnings.
Our business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected by merchants’ increasing focus on the
fees charged by credit and debit card networks and by legislation and regulation impacting such fees.
Interchange fees are generally one of the largest components of the costs that merchants pay in connection with the acceptance
of credit and debit cards and are a meaningful source of revenue for our credit and debit card businesses. Interchange fees are
the subject of significant and intense global legal, legislative and regulatory focus, and the resulting decisions, legislation and
regulation may have a material adverse impact on our overall business, financial condition and results of operations.
Legislative and regulatory bodies in a number of countries are seeking to reduce interchange fees through legislation,
competition-related regulatory proceedings, voluntary agreements, central bank regulation and/or litigation. For credit
transactions, interchange reimbursement rates in the United States are set by credit card networks such as MasterCard and Visa.
For debit transactions, Federal Reserve rules place limits on the interchange fees we may charge. For more information on these
rules, please see “Part I—Item 1. Business—Supervision and Regulation.” In some jurisdictions, such as Canada and certain
countries in Europe, including the U.K., interchange fees and related practices are subject to regulatory activity, including in
some cases, imposing caps on permissible interchange fees. Our international card businesses have been impacted by these
restrictions. For example, in the U.K., interchange fees are capped for both credit and debit card transactions. In addition, in
Canada, Visa and Mastercard payment networks have entered into voluntary agreements with the Department of Finance
Canada to maintain an agreed upon average interchange rate. Lowering interchange fees remains an area of domestic and
international governmental focus. Legislators and regulators around the world are aware of each other’s approaches to the
regulation of the payments industry. Consequently, a development in one country, state or region may influence regulatory
approaches in another, such as our primary market, the United States.
In addition to this regulatory activity, merchants are also seeking avenues to reduce interchange fees. In the past, merchants and
their trade groups have filed numerous lawsuits against Visa, MasterCard, American Express and their card-issuing banks,
claiming that their practices toward merchants, including interchange and similar fees, violate federal antitrust laws. In 2005, a
number of entities filed antitrust lawsuits against MasterCard and Visa and several member banks, including our subsidiaries
and us, alleging among other things, that the defendants conspired to fix the level of interchange fees. In December 2013, the
U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York granted final approval of the proposed class settlement. The settlement
provided, among other things, that merchants would be entitled to join together to negotiate lower interchange fees. The
settlement was appealed to the Second Circuit Court of Appeals, which rejected the settlement in June 2016; a revised
settlement was reached in the second half of 2018, and the trial court issued its final approval of the settlement in December
2019. See “Part II—Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data—Note 18—Commitments, Contingencies,
Guarantees and Others” for further details.
Some major retailers have sufficient bargaining power to independently negotiate lower interchange fees with MasterCard and
Visa, which could, in turn, result in lower interchange fees for us when our cardholders undertake purchase transactions with
these retailers. Merchants also continue to lobby Congress aggressively for restrictions on interchange fees and their efforts may
be successful. Retailers may in the future bring legal proceedings against us or other credit card and debit card issuers and
networks.
Beyond pursuing litigation, legislation and regulation, merchants may also promote forms of payment with lower fees, such as
ACH-based payments, or seek to impose surcharges at the point of sale for use of credit or debit cards. New payment systems,
particularly mobile-based payment technologies, could also gain widespread adoption and lead to issuer transaction fees or the
displacement of credit card accounts as a payment method.
The heightened focus by merchants and legislative and regulatory bodies on the fees charged by credit and debit card networks,
and the ability of certain merchants to successfully negotiate discounts to interchange fees with MasterCard and Visa or develop
alternative payment systems, could result in a reduction of interchange fees. Any resulting loss in income to us could have a
material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

If we are not able to invest successfully in and introduce digital and other technological developments across all our
businesses, our financial performance may suffer.
Our industry is subject to rapid and significant technological changes and our ability to meet our customers’ needs and
expectations is key to our ability to grow revenue and earnings. We expect digital technologies to continue to have a significant
impact on banking over time. Consumers expect robust digital experiences from their financial services providers. The ability
for customers to access their accounts and conduct financial transactions using digital technology, including mobile
applications, is an important aspect of the financial services industry and financial institutions are rapidly introducing new
digital and other technology-driven products and services that aim to offer a better customer experience and to reduce costs. We
continue to invest in digital technology designed to attract new customers, facilitate the ability of existing customers to conduct
financial transactions and enhance the customer experience related to our products and services.
Our continued success depends, in part, upon our ability to assess and address the needs of our customers by using digital
technology to provide products and services that meet their expectations. The development and launch of new digital products
and services depends in large part on our ability to invest in and build the technology platforms that can enable them, in a cost
effective and timely manner. See “We face intense competition in all of our markets” and “We face risks related to our
operational, technological and organizational infrastructure.”
Some of our competitors are substantially larger than we are, which may allow those competitors to invest more money into
their technology infrastructure and digital innovation than we do. In addition, smaller competitors may experience lower cost
structures and different regulatory requirements and scrutiny than we do, which may allow them to innovate more rapidly than
we can. See “We face intense competition in all of our markets.” Further, our success depends on our ability to attract and retain
strong digital and technology leaders, engineers and other specialized personnel. The competition is intense and the
compensation costs continue to increase for such talent. If we are unable to attract and retain digital and technology talent, our
ability to offer digital products and services and build the necessary technology infrastructure could be negatively affected,
which could negatively impact our business and financial results. A failure to maintain or enhance our competitive position
with respect to digital products and services, whether because we fail to anticipate customer expectations or because our
technological developments fail to perform as desired or are not implemented in a timely or successful manner, could
negatively impact our business and financial results.
We may fail to realize the anticipated benefits of our mergers, acquisitions and strategic partnerships.
We engage in merger and acquisition activity and enter into strategic partnerships from time to time. We continue to evaluate
and anticipate engaging in, among other merger and acquisition activity, additional strategic partnerships and selected
acquisitions of financial institutions and other businesses or assets, including credit card and other loan portfolios. We may not
be able to identify and secure future acquisition targets on terms and conditions that are acceptable to us, or successfully
complete and integrate the businesses within the anticipated time frame and achieve the anticipated benefits of proposed
mergers, acquisitions and strategic partnerships, which could impair our growth.
Any merger, acquisition or strategic partnership we undertake entails certain risks, which may materially and adversely affect
our results of operations. If we experience greater than anticipated costs to integrate acquired businesses into our existing
operations, or are not able to achieve the anticipated benefits of any merger, acquisition or strategic partnership, including cost
savings and other synergies, our business could be negatively affected. In addition, it is possible that the ongoing integration
processes could result in the loss of key employees, errors or delays in systems implementation, exposure to cybersecurity risks
associated with acquired businesses, exposure to additional regulatory oversight, the disruption of our ongoing businesses or
inconsistencies in standards, controls, procedures and policies that adversely affect our ability to maintain relationships with
partners, clients, customers, depositors and employees or to achieve the anticipated benefits of any merger, acquisition or
strategic partnership. Integration efforts also may divert management attention and resources. These integration matters may
have an adverse effect on us during any transition period.
In addition, we may face the following risks in connection with any merger, acquisition or strategic partnership:
•
New Businesses and Geographic or Other Markets: Our merger, acquisition or strategic partnership activity may involve
our entry into new businesses, or new geographic areas or markets which present risks resulting from our relative
inexperience in these new businesses or markets. These new businesses or markets may change the overall character of
our consolidated portfolio of businesses and alter our exposure to economic and other external factors. We face the risk
that we will not be successful in these new businesses or in these new markets.

•
Identification and Assessment of Merger and Acquisition Targets and Deployment of Acquired Assets: We may not be
able to identify, acquire or partner with suitable targets. Further, our ability to achieve the anticipated benefits of any
merger, acquisition or strategic partnership will depend on our ability to assess the asset quality, risks and value of the
particular assets or institutions we partner with, merge with or acquire. We may be unable to profitably deploy any assets
we acquire.
Accuracy of Assumptions: In connection with any merger, acquisition or strategic partnership, we may make certain
assumptions relating to the proposed merger, acquisition or strategic partnership that may be, or may prove to be,
inaccurate, including as a result of the failure to anticipate the costs, timeline or ability to realize the expected benefits of
any merger, acquisition or strategic partnership. The inaccuracy of any assumptions we may make could result in
unanticipated consequences that could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition.
Target-specific Risk: Assets and companies that we acquire, or companies that we enter into strategic partnerships with,
will have their own risks that are specific to a particular asset or company. These risks include, but are not limited to,
particular or specific regulatory, accounting, operational, reputational and industry risks, any of which could have a
material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. For example, we may face challenges
associated with integrating other companies due to differences in corporate culture, compliance systems or standards of
conduct. Indemnification rights, if any, may be insufficient to compensate us for any losses or damages resulting from
such risks. In addition to regulatory approvals discussed below, certain of our merger, acquisition or partnership activity
may require third-party consents in order for us to fully realize the anticipated benefits of any such transaction.
Conditions to Regulatory Approval: We may be required to obtain various governmental and regulatory approvals to
consummate certain acquisitions. We cannot be certain whether, when or on what terms and conditions, such approvals
may be granted. Consequently, we may not obtain governmental or regulatory approval for a proposed acquisition on
acceptable terms or at all, in which case we would not be able to complete the acquisition despite investing resources in
pursuing it.
Reputational risk and social factors may impact our results and damage our brand.
Our ability to attract and retain customers is highly dependent upon the perceptions of consumer and commercial borrowers and
deposit holders and other external perceptions of our products, services, trustworthiness, business practices, workplace culture,
compliance practices or our financial health. In addition, our brand is very important to us. Maintaining and enhancing our
brand depends largely on our ability to continue to provide high-quality products and services. Adverse perceptions regarding
our reputation in the consumer, commercial and funding markets could lead to difficulties in generating and maintaining
accounts as well as in financing them. In particular, negative public perceptions regarding our reputation, including negative
perceptions regarding our ability to maintain the security of our technology systems and protect customer data, could lead to
decreases in the levels of deposits that consumer and commercial customers and potential customers choose to maintain with us
or significantly increase the costs of attracting and retaining customers. In addition, negative perceptions regarding certain
industries, partners or clients could also prompt us to cease business activities associated with those entities.
Negative public opinion or damage to our brand could also result from actual or alleged conduct in any number of activities or
circumstances, including lending practices, regulatory compliance, security breaches (including the use and protection of
customer data, such as resulting from the Cybersecurity Incident), corporate governance and sales and marketing, and from
actions taken by regulators or other persons in response to such conduct. Such conduct could fall short of our customers’ and
the public’s heightened expectations of companies of our size with rigorous privacy, data protection, data security and
compliance practices, and could further harm our reputation. In addition, our co-brand and private label partners or other third
parties with whom we have important relationships may take actions over which we have limited control that could negatively
impact perceptions about us or the financial services industry. The proliferation of social media may increase the likelihood that
negative public opinion from any of the events discussed above will impact our reputation and business.
In addition, a variety of social factors may cause changes in borrowing activity, including credit card use, payment patterns and
the rate of defaults by account holders and borrowers domestically and internationally. These social factors include changes in
consumer confidence levels, the public’s perception regarding the banking industry and consumer debt, including credit card
use, and changing attitudes about the stigma of bankruptcy. There has also been increased focus by investor advocacy groups,
investment funds and shareholder activists, among others, on topics related to environmental, social and corporate governance
36
Capital One Financial Corporation (COF)
policies, and our policies, practices and disclosure in these areas, including related to climate change. If these groups consider
our efforts unsatisfactory, whether real or perceived, it could also harm our reputation. If consumers develop or maintain
negative attitudes about incurring debt, or consumption trends decline or if we fail to maintain and enhance our brand, or we
incur significant expenses to do so, our reputation and business and financial results could be materially and negatively
affected.
If we are not able to protect our intellectual property, our revenue and profitability could be negatively affected.
We rely on a variety of measures to protect and enhance our intellectual property, including copyrights, trademarks, trade
secrets, patents and certain restrictions on disclosure, solicitation and competition. We also undertake other measures to control
access to and distribution of our other proprietary and confidential information. These measures may not prevent
misappropriation of our proprietary or confidential information or infringement, misappropriation or other violations of our
intellectual property rights and a resulting loss of competitive advantage. In addition, our competitors or other third parties may
obtain patents for innovations that are used in our industry or allege that our systems, processes or technologies infringe,
misappropriate or violate their intellectual property rights. Given the complex, rapidly changing and competitive technological
and business environments in which we operate, if our competitors or other third parties are successful in obtaining such patents
or prevail in intellectual property-related litigation against us, we could lose significant revenues, incur significant license,
royalty, technology development or other expenses, or pay significant damages.
Our risk management strategies may not be fully effective in mitigating our risk exposures in all market environments or
against all types of risk.
Management of market, credit, liquidity, strategic, reputational, operational and compliance risk requires, among other things,
policies and procedures to properly record and verify a large number of transactions and events. See “Part II—Item 7. MD&A
—Risk Management” for further details. We maintain an enterprise Framework that is designed to identify, measure, assess,
monitor, test, control, report, escalate, and mitigate the risks that we face. Even though we continue to devote significant
resources to developing our Framework, our risk management strategies may not be fully effective in identifying and mitigating
our risk exposure in all market environments or against all types of risk, including risks that are unidentified or unanticipated.
Some of our methods of managing these risks are based upon our use of observed historical market behavior, the use of
analytical and/or forecasting models and management’s judgment. These methods may not accurately predict future exposures,
which could be significantly greater than the historical measures or models indicate and market conditions, particularly during a
period of financial market stress, can involve unprecedented dislocations. For example, credit risk is inherent in the financial
services business and results from, among other things, extending credit to customers. Our ability to assess the creditworthiness
of our customers may be impaired if the models and approaches we use to select, manage and underwrite our consumer and
commercial customers become less predictive of future charge-offs due, for example, to rapid changes in the economy, or
degradation in the predictive nature of credit bureau and other data used in underwriting.
While we employ a broad and diversified set of risk monitoring and risk mitigation techniques, those techniques and the
judgments that accompany their application cannot anticipate every economic and financial outcome or the timing of such
outcomes. For example, our ability to implement our risk management strategies may be hindered by adverse changes in the
volatility or liquidity conditions in certain markets and as a result, may limit our ability to distribute such risks (for instance,
when we seek to syndicate exposure in bridge financing transactions we have underwritten). We may, therefore, incur losses in
the course of our risk management or investing activities.
The transition away from LIBOR may adversely affect our business.
A transition away from the use of LIBOR to alternative rates and other potential interest rate benchmark reforms is not yet
complete. These reforms have caused and may in the future cause such rates to perform differently than in the past, or to
disappear entirely, or have other consequences which cannot be predicted.
Given LIBOR’s extensive use across financial markets, the ongoing transition away from LIBOR presents several risks and
challenges to the financial markets and financial institutions, including Capital One. While we have substantially decreased our
exposure to LIBOR, we have certain loans, derivative contracts, securitizations, and other contracts with attributes that are
either directly or indirectly dependent on LIBOR. Our ability to transition those exposures away from LIBOR could be affected
by market and customer acceptance of and the specific terms and parameters for alternative reference rates. The Secured
Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) has been recommended by the Alternative Reference Rates Committee (“ARRC”) as an
alternative to U.S. dollar LIBOR. Nevertheless, the transition away from LIBOR could result in loss of market share in certain
37
Capital One Financial Corporation (COF)
products, adverse tax or accounting impacts, compliance, legal or operational costs and risks associated with client disclosures,
as well as systems disruption, model disruption and other business continuity issues for us.
In addition, risks will remain for us with respect to outstanding instruments which rely on LIBOR. Those risks arise in
connection with transitioning such instruments to a new reference rate, the taking of discretionary actions (for example, under
fallback provisions) or the negotiation of fallback provisions and final amendments to existing LIBOR based agreements.
Payments under contracts referencing new reference rates may significantly differ from those referencing LIBOR. The
Adjustable Interest Rate (LIBOR) Act passed by Congress in March 2022 (“LIBOR Act”) is intended to minimize legal and
economic uncertainty following U.S. dollar LIBOR’s cessation by replacing LIBOR references in certain contracts under
certain circumstances with a SOFR-based rate identified in a Federal Reserve rule that incorporates a spread adjustment
specified in the statute. For some instruments, the method of transitioning to a new reference rate may be challenging,
especially if parties to an instrument cannot agree as to how to effect that transition and the LIBOR Act does not apply. In
addition, prior to LIBOR cessation, instruments that continue to refer to LIBOR may be impacted if there is a change in the
availability or calculation of LIBOR. The transition from LIBOR to an alternative reference rate has changed our market risk
profile and required changes to risk and pricing models, valuation tools, product design, information technology systems,
reporting infrastructure, operational processes and controls, and hedging strategies, and may result in or require further such
changes in the future. In many cases, we are and may in the future be dependent on third parties to upgrade systems, software
and other critical functions that could materially disrupt our readiness if they are not done on a timely basis or otherwise fail.
While we have largely remediated the majority of our exposures, our effort to remediate the remaining exposures remains
ongoing. Failure to adequately manage the transition could have a material adverse effect on our reputation, business, financial
condition and results of operations. See “Part II—Item 7. MD&A—Market Risk Profile” for additional information.
Our business could be negatively affected if we are unable to attract, retain and motivate key senior leaders and skilled
employees.
Our success depends, in large part, on our ability to retain key senior leaders and to attract and retain skilled employees,
particularly employees with advanced expertise in credit, risk, digital and technology skills. We depend on our senior leaders
and skilled employees to oversee simultaneous, transformative initiatives across the enterprise and execute on our business
plans in an efficient and effective manner. Competition for such senior leaders and employees, and the costs associated with
attracting and retaining them, is high and competitive. While we engage in robust succession planning, our key senior leaders
have deep and broad industry experience and could be difficult to replace without some degree of disruption.
Our ability to attract and retain qualified employees also is affected by perceptions of our culture and management, including
our position on remote and hybrid work arrangements, our profile in the regions where we have offices and the professional
opportunities we offer. Regulation or regulatory guidance restricting executive compensation, as well as evolving investor
expectations, may limit the types of compensation arrangements that we may enter into with our most senior leaders and could
have a negative impact on our ability to attract, retain and motivate such leaders in support of our long-term strategy. These
laws and regulations may not apply in the same manner to all financial institutions and technology companies, which therefore
may subject us to more restrictions than other institutions and companies with which we compete for talent and may also hinder
our ability to compete for talent with other industries. We rely upon our senior leaders not only for business success, but also to
lead with integrity. To the extent our senior leaders behave in a manner that does not comport with our values, the
consequences to our brand and reputation could be severe and could adversely affect our financial condition and results of
operations. If we are unable to attract, develop and retain talented senior leadership and employees, or to implement appropriate
succession plans for our senior leadership, our business could be negatively affected.
We face risks from catastrophic events.
Despite the business contingency plans we have in place, such plans do not fully mitigate all potential business continuity risks
to us. Geopolitical events, natural disasters and other catastrophic events could harm our employees, business and
infrastructure, including our information technology systems and third-party platforms. Our ability to conduct business may be
adversely affected by a disruption in the infrastructure that supports our business and the communities where we are located,
which are concentrated in the Northern Virginia and New York metropolitan areas, as well as Richmond, Virginia and Plano,
Texas. This may include a disruption involving damage or loss of access to a physical site, cyber-attacks and other security
incidents, terrorist activities, the occurrence or worsening of disease outbreaks or pandemics (including the COVID-19
pandemic), natural disasters, extreme weather events, electrical outage, environmental hazards, disruption to technological
infrastructure, communications or other services we use, our employees or third parties with whom we conduct business. Our
business, financial condition and results of operations may be impacted by any such disruption and our ability to implement
corresponding response measures quickly. In addition, if a natural disaster or other catastrophic event occurs in certain regions
38
Capital One Financial Corporation (COF)
where our business and customers are concentrated, such as the mid-Atlantic, New York, California or Texas metropolitan
areas, or in regions where our third-party platforms are located, we could be disproportionately impacted as compared to our
competitors. The impact of such events and other catastrophes on the overall economy and our physical and transition risks may
also adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
Climate change manifesting as physical or transition risks could adversely affect our businesses, operations and customers.
Climate change risks can manifest as physical or transition risks.
Physical risks are the risks from the effects of climate change arising from acute, climate-related events, such as, hurricanes and
wildfires, and chronic shifts in climate, such as sea level rise and higher average temperatures. Such events could lead to
financial losses or disrupt our operations or those of our customers or third parties on which we rely, including through direct
damage to assets and indirect impacts from supply chain disruption and market volatility.
Transition risks are the risks resulting from the shift toward a lower-carbon economy arising from the changes in policy,
consumer and business sentiment or technologies in regards to limiting climate change. Transition risks, including changes in
consumer preferences and additional regulatory requirements or taxes, could increase our expenses, affect credit performance,
and impact our strategies or those of our customers. For more information on climate-related regulatory developments, see
“Part I—Item 1. Business—Supervision and Regulation” for additional information.
Physical and transition risks could also affect the financial health of certain customers in impacted industries or geographies. In
addition, we face reputational risk as a result of our policies, practices, disclosures and decisions related to climate change and
the environment, or the practices or involvement of our clients or vendors and suppliers, in certain industries or projects
associated with causing or exacerbating climate change.
As climate risk is interconnected with many risk types, we continue to enhance processes to embed evolving climate risk
considerations into our existing risk management strategies; however, because the timing and severity of climate change may
not be predictable, our risk management strategies may not be effective in mitigating climate risk exposure.
We face risks from the use of or changes to assumptions or estimates in our financial statements.
Pursuant to generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (“U.S. GAAP”), we are required to use certain assumptions
and estimates in preparing our financial statements, including determining our allowance for credit losses, the fair value of
certain assets and liabilities, and goodwill impairment, among other items. In addition, the FASB, the SEC and other regulatory
bodies may change the financial accounting and reporting standards, including those related to assumptions and estimates we
use to prepare our financial statements, in ways that we cannot predict and that could impact our financial statements. If actual
results differ from the assumptions or estimates underlying our financial statements or if financial accounting and reporting
standards are changed, we may experience unexpected material losses. For a discussion of our use of estimates in the
preparation of our consolidated financial statements, see “Part II—Item 7. MD&A—Critical Accounting Policies and
Estimates” and “Part II—Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data—Note 1—Summary of Significant Accounting
Policies.”
The soundness of other financial institutions and other third parties could adversely affect us.
Our ability to engage in routine funding and other transactions could be adversely affected by the stability and actions of other
financial services institutions. Financial services institutions are interrelated as a result of trading, clearing, servicing,
counterparty and other relationships. We have exposure to financial institutions, intermediaries and counterparties that are
exposed to risks over which we have little or no control.
In addition, we routinely execute transactions with counterparties in the financial services industry, including brokers and
dealers, commercial banks, investment banks, mutual and hedge funds and other institutional clients, resulting in a significant
credit concentration with respect to the financial services industry overall. As a result, defaults by, or even rumors or questions
about, one or more financial services institutions, or the financial services industry generally, have led to market-wide liquidity
problems and could lead to losses or defaults by us or by other institutions.
Likewise, adverse developments affecting the overall strength and soundness of our competitors, the financial services industry
as a whole and the general economic climate and the U.S. Treasury market could have a negative impact on perceptions about
the strength and soundness of our business even if we are not subject to the same adverse developments. In addition, adverse
39
Capital One Financial Corporation (COF)
developments with respect to third parties with whom we have important relationships also could negatively impact perceptions
about us. These perceptions about us could cause our business to be negatively affected and exacerbate the other risks that we
face.

This discussion contains forward-looking statements that are based upon management’s current expectations and are subject to
significant uncertainties and changes in circumstances. Please review “Part I—Item 1.Business—Forward-Looking
Statements” for more information on the forward-looking statements in this Report. All statements that address operating
performance, events or developments that we expect or anticipate will occur in the future are forward-looking statements. Our
actual results may differ materially from those included in these forward-looking statements due to a variety of factors
including, but not limited to, those described in “Part I—Item 1A. Risk Factors” in this Report. Unless otherwise specified,
references to notes to our consolidated financial statements refer to the notes to our consolidated financial statements as of
December 31, 2022 included in this Report.
Management monitors a variety of key indicators to evaluate our business results and financial condition. The following
MD&A is intended to provide the reader with an understanding of our results of operations and financial condition, including
capital and liquidity management, by focusing on changes from year to year in certain key measures used by management to
evaluate performance, such as profitability, growth and credit quality metrics. MD&A is provided as a supplement to, and

Selected Financial Data
The following table presents selected consolidated financial data and performance metrics for the three-year period ended
December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020. We also provide selected key metrics we use in evaluating our performance, including
certain metrics that are computed using non-GAAP measures. We consider these metrics to be key financial measures that
management uses in assessing our operating performance, capital adequacy and the level of returns generated. We believe these
non-GAAP metrics provide useful insight to investors and users of our financial information as they provide an alternate
measurement of our performance and assist in assessing our capital adequacy and the level of return generated. These non-
GAAP measures should not be viewed as a substitute for reported results determined in accordance with GAAP, nor are they
necessarily comparable to non-GAAP measures that may be presented by other companies.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Financial Highlights
We reported net income of $7.4 billion ($17.91 per diluted common share) on total net revenue of $34.3 billion for 2022. In
comparison, we reported net income of $12.4 billion ($26.94 per diluted common share) on total net revenue of $30.4 billion
for 2021 and net income of $2.7 billion ($5.18 per diluted common share) on total net revenue of $28.5 billion for 2020.
Our common equity Tier 1 capital ratio as calculated under the Basel III standardized approach was 12.5% and 13.1% as of
December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. See “Capital Management” for additional information.
In January 2022, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $5.0 billion of shares of our common stock. In April
2022, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to an additional $5.0 billion of shares of our common stock. For
the year ended December 31, 2022, we repurchased $4.8 billion of shares of our common stock. See “MD&A—Capital
Management—Dividend Policy and Stock Purchases” for additional information.
Below are additional highlights of our performance in 2022. These highlights are based on a comparison between the results of
2022 and 2021, except as otherwise noted. The changes in our financial condition and credit performance are generally based
on our financial condition and credit performance as of December 31, 2022 compared to December 31, 2021. We provide a
more detailed discussion of our financial performance in the sections following this “Executive Summary.”
Discussions of our performance for 2021 compared to 2020 can be found in “Part II—Item 7. MD&A” of our Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.
Total Company Performance
•
Earnings:
Our net income decreased by $5.0 billion to $7.4 billion in 2022 compared to 2021 primarily driven by:
◦
◦
Higher provision for credit losses primarily driven by a net allowance build across all of our segments due to
credit normalization, a modestly worse economic outlook and loan growth, compared to a net allowance release
across all of our segments in 2021.
Higher non-interest expense primarily driven by increased marketing spend, as well as continued investment in
technology.
These drivers were partially offset by:
◦
◦
Higher net interest income and net interest margin primarily driven by higher average loan balances in our credit
card loan portfolio relative to the movement of other interest-earning assets.
Higher non-interest income primarily driven by higher net interchange fees due to an increase in purchase volume.
•
Loans Held for Investment:
◦
◦
Period-end loans held for investment increased by $35.0 billion to $312.3 billion as of December 31, 2022 from
December 31, 2021 primarily driven by growth across all of our segments, including $23.0 billion in Credit Card.
Average loans held for investment increased by $39.5 billion to $292.2 billion in 2022 compared to 2021
primarily driven by growth across all of our segments, including $17.7 billion in Credit Card.
•
Net Charge-Off and Delinquency Metrics:
◦
◦
Our net charge-off rate increased by 48 basis points (“bps”) to 1.36% in 2022 compared to 2021 primarily
driven by continued credit normalization in our consumer businesses.
Our 30+ day delinquency rate increased by 80 bps to 3.21% as of December 31, 2022 from December 31, 2021
primarily driven by continued credit normalization.

Capital One Financial Corporation (COF)
•
Allowance for Credit Losses: Our allowance for credit losses increased by $1.8 billion to $13.2 billion and our allowance
coverage ratio increased by 12 bps to 4.24% as of December 31, 2022 compared to December 31, 2021.
CONSOLIDATED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The section below provides a comparative discussion of our consolidated financial performance for 2022 and 2021. We provide
a discussion of our business segment results in the following section, “Business Segment Financial Performance.” This section
should be read together with our “Executive Summary,” where we discuss trends and other factors that we expect will affect
our future results of operations.
Net Interest Income
Net interest income represents the difference between interest income, including certain fees, earned on our interest-earning
assets and the interest expense incurred on our interest-bearing liabilities. Our interest-earning assets include loans, investment
securities and other interest-earning assets, while our interest-bearing liabilities include interest-bearing deposits, securitized
debt obligations, senior and subordinated notes, other borrowings and other interest-bearing liabilities. Generally, we include in
interest income any past due fees, net of reversals, on loans that we deem collectible. Our net interest margin, based on our
consolidated results, represents the difference between the yield on our interest-earning assets and the cost of our interest-
bearing liabilities, including the notional impact of non-interest-bearing funding. We expect net interest income and our net
interest margin to fluctuate based on changes in interest rates and changes in the amount and composition of our interest-
earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.

Average yield is calculated based on interest income for the period divided by average loans during the period. Interest income does not include any
allocations, such as funds transfer pricing. Average yield is calculated using whole dollar values for average balances and interest income/expense.

(3)
Past due fees, net of reversals, included in interest income totaled approximately $1.9 billion in 2022, $1.4 billion in 2021 and $1.3 billion in 2020.
Some of our commercial investments generate tax-exempt income, tax credits or other tax benefits. Accordingly, we present our Commercial Banking
revenue and yields on a taxable-equivalent basis, calculated using the federal statutory tax rate of 21% and state taxes where applicable, with offsetting
reductions to the Other category. Taxable-equivalent adjustments included in the interest income and yield computations for our commercial loans totaled
approximately $74 million in both 2022 and 2021, and $81 million in 2020, with corresponding reductions to the Other category.

Interest income/expense in the Other category represents the impact of hedge accounting on our loan portfolios and the offsetting reduction of the taxable-
equivalent adjustments of our commercial loans as described above.
** Not meaningful.
Net interest income increased by $2.9 billion to $27.1 billion in 2022 compared to 2021 primarily driven by higher average loan
balances in our credit card loan portfolio.
Net interest margin increased by 46 basis points to 6.67% in 2022 compared to 2021 primarily driven by growth in our credit
card loan portfolio relative to the movement in other interest-earning assets, partially offset by higher rates paid on interest-
bearing liabilities.
Table 2 displays the change in our net interest income between periods and the extent to which the variance is attributable to:

Includes a loss of $78 million and gains of $69 million and $45 million on deferred compensation plan investments for 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
These amounts have corresponding offsets in non-interest expense.
(2)
Primarily consists of revenue from Capital One Shopping, our credit card partnership agreements and gains or losses on loan sales. In 2022, the gain on
sale of card partnership loan portfolios was $192 million.
Non-interest income increased by $872 million to $7.1 billion in 2022 compared to 2021 primarily driven by higher net
interchange fees due to an increase in purchase volume in our Credit Card business.
Provision for Credit Losses
Our provision for credit losses in each period is driven by net charge-offs, changes to the allowance for credit losses and
changes to the reserve for unfunded lending commitments. We recorded a provision for credit losses of $5.8 billion in 2022,
$(1.9) billion in 2021 and $10.3 billion in 2020.
Our provision for credit losses increased by $7.8 billion to $5.8 billion in 2022 compared to 2021 primarily driven by a net
allowance build across all of our segments due to credit normalization, a modestly worse economic outlook and loan growth,
compared to a net allowance release across all of our segments in 2021.
We provide additional information on the provision for credit losses and changes in the allowance for credit losses within
“Credit Risk Profile” and “Part II—Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data—Note 4—Allowance for Credit
Losses and Reserve for Unfunded Lending Commitments.” For information on the allowance methodology for each of our loan
categories, see “Part II—Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data—Note 1—Summary of Significant Accounting
Policies.”

(1)
Includes a benefit of $78 million and expenses of $69 million and $45 million related to our deferred compensation plan investments for 2022, 2021 and
2020, respectively. These amounts have corresponding offsets from investments in other non-interest income.
Non-interest expense increased by $2.6 billion to $19.2 billion in the year ended 2022 compared to 2021, primarily driven by
increased marketing spend and increased salaries and associate benefits due to increased employee headcount and continued
investment in technology.
Income Taxes
We recorded an income tax provision of $1.9 billion (20.3% effective income tax rate), $3.4 billion (21.6% effective income tax
rate), and $486 million (15.2% effective income tax rate) in 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Our effective tax rate on
income from continuing operations varies between periods due, in part, to the impact of changes in pre-tax income and
changes in tax credits, tax-exempt income and non-deductible expenses relative to our pre-tax earnings.
Our effective income tax rate in 2022 decreased by 1.3% compared to 2021. We recorded discrete tax benefits of $71 million in
2022, $66 million in 2021 and $22 million in 2020.
We provide additional information on items affecting our income taxes and effective tax rate in “Part II—Item 8. Financial

CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEETS ANALYSIS
Total assets increased by $22.9 billion to $455.2 billion as of December 31, 2022 from December 31, 2021 primarily driven by
growth in our loan portfolios, partially offset by a decrease in our investment securities portfolio.
Total liabilities increased by $31.3 billion to $402.7 billion as of December 31, 2022 from December 31, 2021 primarily driven
by deposit growth.
Stockholders’ equity decreased by $8.4 billion to $52.6 billion as of December 31, 2022 from December 31, 2021 primarily
driven by a decrease in AOCI due to a decline in the fair value of our investment securities portfolio and our common stock
repurchases, partially offset by net income of $7.4 billion.
The following is a discussion of material changes in the major components of our assets and liabilities during 2022. Period-end
balance sheet amounts may vary from average balance sheet amounts due to liquidity and balance sheet management activities
that are intended to support the adequacy of capital while managing our liquidity requirements, our customers and our market
risk exposure in accordance with our risk appetite.
Investment Securities
Our investment securities portfolio consists of the following: U.S. government-sponsored enterprise or agency (“Agency”) and
non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities (“RMBS”), agency commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”), U.S.
Treasury securities and other securities. Agency securities include Government National Mortgage Association (“Ginnie Mae”)
guaranteed securities, Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”) and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation
(“Freddie Mac”) issued securities. The carrying value of our investments in Agency and U.S. Treasury securities represented
97% and 96% of our total investment securities portfolio as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
The fair value of our available for sale securities portfolio decreased by $18.3 billion to $76.9 billion as of December 31, 2022
from December 31, 2021, driven by increases in interest rates and credit spreads, lower reinvestment rates of principal
paydowns, and sales. See “Part II—Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data—Note 2—Investment Securities” for
more information.
Loans Held for Investment
Total loans held for investment consists of both unsecuritized loans and loans held in our consolidated trusts. Table 5

Funding Sources
Our primary source of funding comes from deposits, as they are a stable and relatively low cost source of funding. In addition
to deposits, we raise funding through the issuance of senior and subordinated notes, securitized debt obligations, federal funds

purchased, securities loaned or sold under agreements to repurchase, and FHLB advances secured by certain portions of our
loan and securities portfolios.

Total deposits increased by $22.0 billion to $333.0 billion as of December 31, 2022 from December 31, 2021 primarily driven
by our national banking strategy and issuances of brokered deposits.
Securitized debt obligations increased by $2.0 billion to $17.0 billion as of December 31, 2022 from December 31, 2021
primarily driven by net issuances in our auto and credit card securitization programs.
Other debt increased by $3.7 billion to $31.7 billion as of December 31, 2022 from December 31, 2021 primarily driven by net
issuances of senior debt.
We provide additional information on our funding sources in “Liquidity Risk Profile” and “Part II—Item 8. Financial
Statements and Supplementary Data—Note 8—Deposits and Borrowings.”
Deferred Tax Assets and Liabilities
Deferred tax assets and liabilities represent decreases or increases in taxes expected to be paid in the future because of future
reversals of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, as well as from net
operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets are recognized subject to management’s judgment that these
future deductions are more likely than not to be realized. We evaluate the recoverability of these future tax deductions by
assessing the adequacy of expected taxable income from all sources, including taxable income in carryback years, reversal of
taxable temporary differences, forecasted operating earnings and available tax planning strategies. These sources of income rely
heavily on estimates. We use our historical experience and our short and long-range business forecasts to make these estimates.
Deferred tax assets, net of deferred tax liabilities and valuation allowances, were approximately $7.7 billion as of December 31,
2022, an increase of $4.0 billion from December 31, 2021. The increase in our net deferred tax assets was primarily driven by
the decrease in fair value of our available for sale securities and derivatives, as well as the increase in allowance for credit
losses in 2022.
We recorded valuation allowances of $446 million and $355 million as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. If
changes in circumstances lead us to change our judgment about our ability to realize deferred tax assets in future years, we will
adjust our valuation allowances in the period that our change in judgment occurs and record a corresponding increase or charge
to income.
We provide additional information on income taxes in “Consolidated Results of Operations” and “Part II—Item 8. Financial
Statements and Supplementary Data—Note 15—Income Taxes.”

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
In the ordinary course of business, we engage in certain activities that are not reflected on our consolidated balance sheets,
generally referred to as off-balance sheet arrangements. These activities typically involve transactions with unconsolidated
variable interest entities (“VIEs”) as well as other arrangements, such as letters of credit, loan commitments and guarantees, to
meet the financing needs of our customers and support their ongoing operations. We provide additional information regarding
these types of activities in “Part II—Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data—Note 5—Variable Interest Entities
and Securitizations” and “Part II—Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data—Note 18—Commitments,
Contingencies, Guarantees and Others.”
BUSINESS SEGMENT FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
Our principal operations are organized for management reporting purposes into three major business segments, which are
defined primarily based on the products and services provided or the types of customer served: Credit Card, Consumer Banking
and Commercial Banking. The operations of acquired businesses have been integrated into or managed as a part of our existing
business segments. Certain activities that are not part of a segment, such as management of our corporate investment portfolio,
asset/liability management and oversight of our funds transfer pricing process, are centralized in our Corporate Treasury group.
Our residual tax expense or benefit to arrive at the consolidated effective tax rate that is not assessed to our primary business
segments is included in the Other category.
The results of our individual businesses, which we report on a continuing operations basis, reflect the manner in which
management evaluates performance and makes decisions about funding our operations and allocating resources. We may
periodically change our business segments or reclassify business segment results based on modifications to our management
reporting methodologies and changes in organizational alignment. Our business segment results are intended to reflect each
segment as if it were a stand-alone business. We use an internal management and reporting process to derive our business
segment results. Our internal management and reporting process employs various allocation methodologies, including funds
transfer pricing, to assign certain balance sheet assets, deposits and other liabilities and their related revenue and expenses
directly or indirectly attributable to each business segment. Total interest income and non-interest income are directly
attributable to the segment in which they are reported. The net interest income of each segment reflects the results of our funds
transfer pricing process, which is primarily based on a matched funding concept that takes into consideration market interest
rates. Our funds transfer pricing process is managed by our centralized Corporate Treasury group and provides a funds credit
for sources of funds, such as deposits generated by our Consumer Banking and Commercial Banking businesses, and a charge
for the use of funds by each segment. The allocation is unique to each business segment and acquired business and is based on
the composition of assets and liabilities. The funds transfer pricing process considers the interest rate and liquidity risk
characteristics of assets and liabilities and off-balance sheet products. Periodically, the methodology and assumptions utilized in
the funds transfer pricing process are adjusted to reflect economic conditions and other factors, which may impact the allocation
of net interest income to the business segments. We regularly assess the assumptions, methodologies and reporting
classifications used for segment reporting, which may result in the implementation of refinements or changes in future periods.
We refer to the business segment results derived from our internal management accounting and reporting process as our
“managed” presentation, which differs in some cases from our reported results prepared based on U.S. GAAP. There is no
comprehensive authoritative body of guidance for management accounting equivalent to U.S. GAAP; therefore, the managed
presentation of our business segment results may not be comparable to similar information provided by other financial services
companies. In addition, our individual business segment results should not be used as a substitute for comparable results
determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
We summarize our business segment results for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 and provide a comparative
discussion of these results for 2022 and 2021, as well as changes in our financial condition and credit performance metrics as of
December 31, 2022 compared to December 31, 2021. We provide a reconciliation of our total business segment results to our
reported consolidated results in “Part II—Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data—Note 17—Business Segments
and Revenue from Contracts with Customers.”

Net income (loss) for our business segments and the Other category is based on income (loss) from continuing operations, net of tax.
Some of our commercial investments generate tax-exempt income, tax credits or other tax benefits. Accordingly, we present our Commercial Banking
revenue and yields on a taxable-equivalent basis, calculated using the federal statutory tax rate of 21% and state taxes where applicable, with offsetting
reductions to the Other category.
Credit Card Business
The primary sources of revenue for our Credit Card business are net interest income, net interchange income and fees collected
from customers. Expenses primarily consist of the provision for credit losses, operating costs and marketing expenses.
Our Credit Card business generated net income from continuing operations of $4.9 billion, $7.8 billion and $1.4 billion in 2022,
2021 and 2020, respectively.

** Not meaningful.
Key factors affecting the results of our Credit Card business for 2022 compared to 2021, and changes in financial condition and
credit performance between December 31, 2022 and 2021 include the following:
•
•
•
Net Interest Income: Net interest income increased by $2.5 billion to $16.6 billion in 2022 primarily driven by higher
average loan balances.
Non-Interest Income: Non-interest income increased by $965 million to $5.8 billion in 2022 primarily driven by higher
net interchange fees due to an increase in purchase volume.
Provision for Credit Losses: Provision for credit losses increased by $5.2 billion to $4.3 billion in 2022 primarily driven
by a net allowance build due to credit normalization, a modestly worse economic outlook and loan growth, compared to
a net allowance release in 2021.
58
Capital One Financial Corporation (COF)
•
Non-Interest Expense: Non-interest expense increased by $2.0 billion to $11.6 billion in 2022 primarily driven by
increased marketing spend, as well as continued investment in technology.
Loans Held for Investment:
•
Period-end loans held for investment increased by $23.0 billion to $137.7 billion as of December 31, 2022 from
December 31, 2021 and average loans held for investment increased by $17.7 billion to $120.4 billion in 2022 compared
to 2021 primarily driven by continued strength in purchase volume, which outpaced customer payments.
Net Charge-Off and Delinquency Metrics:
•
•
The net charge-off rate increased by 63 basis points to 2.53% in 2022 compared to 2021 primarily driven by continued
credit normalization.
The 30+ day delinquency rate increased by 117 basis points to 3.46% as of December 31, 2022 from December 31, 2021
primarily driven by continued credit normalization.
Domestic Card Business
The Domestic Card business generated net income from continuing operations of $4.7 billion, $7.3 billion and $1.2 billion in
2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. In 2022, 2021 and 2020, the Domestic Card business accounted for greater than 90% of
total net revenue of our Credit Card business.

** Not meaningful.
Because our Domestic Card business accounts for the substantial majority of our Credit Card business, the key factors driving
the results are similar to the key factors affecting our total Credit Card business. Net income for our Domestic Card business
decreased in 2022 compared to 2021 primarily driven by:
•
•
Higher provision for credit losses primarily driven by a net allowance build due to credit normalization, a modestly
worse economic outlook and loan growth, compared to a net allowance release in 2021.
Higher non-interest expense primarily driven by increased marketing spend, as well as continued investment in
technology.
These drivers were partially offset by:
•
•
Higher net interest income primarily driven by higher average loan balances.
Higher non-interest income primarily driven by higher net interchange fees due to an increase in purchase volume.
Consumer Banking Business
The primary sources of revenue for our Consumer Banking business are net interest income from loans and deposits. Expenses
primarily consist of the provision for credit losses, operating costs and marketing expenses.
Our Consumer Banking business generated net income from continuing operations of $2.3 billion, $3.7 billion and $1.4 billion
in 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Key factors affecting the results of our Consumer Banking business for 2022 compared to 2021, and changes in financial
condition and credit performance between December 31, 2022 and 2021 include the following:
•
•
•
•
Net Interest Income: Net interest income increased by $517 million to $9.0 billion in 2022 primarily driven by higher
margins in our retail banking business due to the increases in interest rates, partially offset by lower margins in our auto
business.
Non-Interest Income: Non-interest income decreased by $85 million to $469 million in 2022 primarily driven by changes
to our customer overdraft and non-sufficient funds policies in our retail banking business.
Provision for Credit Losses: Provision for credit losses increased by $1.7 billion to $1.2 billion in 2022 primarily driven
by a net allowance build due to credit normalization, a modestly worse economic outlook and loan growth, compared to
a net allowance release in 2021.
Non-Interest Expense: Non-interest expense increased by $601 million to $5.3 billion in 2022 primarily driven by
continued investment in technology and increased marketing spend in our retail banking business.
Loans Held for Investment:
•
Period-end loans held for investment increased by $2.3 billion to $79.9 billion as of December 31, 2022 from December
31, 2021 and average loans held for investment increased by $6.6 billion to $80.4 billion in 2022 compared to 2021
primarily driven by growth in our auto loan portfolio.
Deposits:
•
Period-end deposits increased by $14.2 billion at $270.6 billion as of December 31, 2022 from December 31, 2021
primarily driven by our national banking strategy.
Net Charge-Off and Delinquency Metrics:
•
•
The net charge-off rate increased by 69 basis points to 1.06% in 2022 compared to 2021 primarily driven by continued
credit normalization in our auto loan portfolio.
The 30+ day delinquency rate increased by 152 basis points to 6.18% as of December 31, 2022 from December 31, 2021
primarily driven by continued credit normalization in our auto loan portfolio.
Commercial Banking Business
The primary sources of revenue for our Commercial Banking business are net interest income from loans and deposits and non-
interest income earned from products and services provided to our clients such as advisory services, capital markets and
treasury management. Because our Commercial Banking business has loans and investments that generate tax-exempt income,
tax credits or other tax benefits, we present the revenues on a taxable-equivalent basis. Expenses primarily consist of the
provision for credit losses and operating costs.
Our Commercial Banking business generated net income from continuing operations of $843 million, $1.5 billion and $65
million in 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make a number of judgments,
estimates and assumptions that affect the amount of assets, liabilities, income and expenses on the consolidated financial
statements. Understanding our accounting policies and the extent to which we use management judgment and estimates in
applying these policies is integral to understanding our financial statements. We provide a summary of our significant
accounting policies under “Part II—Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data—Note 1—Summary of Significant
Accounting Policies.”
We have identified the following accounting estimates as critical because they require significant judgments and assumptions
about highly complex and inherently uncertain matters and the use of reasonably different estimates and assumptions could
have a material impact on our results of operations or financial condition. Our critical accounting policies and estimates are as
follows:
•
•
•
•
Loan loss reserves
Goodwill
Fair value
Customer rewards reserve
We evaluate our critical accounting estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis and update them as necessary, based on
changing conditions.
65
Capital One Financial Corporation (COF)
Loan Loss Reserves
We maintain an allowance for credit losses that represents management’s current estimate of expected credit losses inherent in
our credit card, consumer banking and commercial banking loans held for investment portfolios as of each balance sheet date.
We also reserve for the uncollectible portion of finance charges and fees related to credit card loan receivables in the allowance
for credit losses consistent with the methodology we use to estimate the allowance for credit losses on the principal portion of
our credit card loan receivables. We also separately reserve for unfunded lending commitments that are not unconditionally
cancellable. We build our allowance for credit losses and reserve for unfunded lending commitments through the provision for
credit losses, which is driven by charge-offs, changes in the allowance for credit losses and changes in the reserve for unfunded
lending commitments. The allowance for credit losses was $13.2 billion as of December 31, 2022, compared to $11.4 billion as
of December 31, 2021.
Our allowance for credit losses and reserve for unfunded lending commitments utilize models to derive a quantitative estimate
of credit losses that is supplemented with additional qualitative considerations to capture risks and uncertainties not included in
the quantitative result. Our estimate of expected credit losses, for all loan and unfunded lending commitments, includes a
reasonable and supportable forecast period of one year and then reverts over a one-year period to historical losses at each
relevant loss component of the estimate. We use externally produced consensus estimates as inputs for our forward-looking
macroeconomic forecast and consider other forecasts and sources of uncertainty to develop the quantitative component. This
quantitative result is then supplemented qualitatively by management for economic uncertainty, including the consideration of
alternative macroeconomic scenarios, changes and trends in loan portfolios that may not be captured in the quantitative
component. These adjustments represent management’s judgment of the imprecision and risks inherent in the processes and
assumptions used in establishing the allowance for credit losses.
We have an established process, using analytical tools and management judgment, to determine our allowance for credit losses.
Significant management judgment is required to determine the relevant information and estimation methods used to arrive at
our best estimate of lifetime credit losses. Establishing the allowance on a quarterly basis involves evaluating and forecasting
both credit and macroeconomic variables. The macroeconomic forecast used to inform both quantitative and qualitative
components of our allowance for credit losses estimate is sensitive to variables that may impact borrowers’ ability to pay, such
as the U.S. Unemployment Rate, and the U.S. Real Gross Domestic Product (“U.S. Real GDP”) Rate assumptions. Our
December 31, 2022 allowance assumes that the average unemployment rate gradually increases to approximately 5.0% by the
fourth quarter of 2023 and annualized U.S. Real GDP decreases 0.3% in 2023.
In addition to macroeconomic factors, many credit factors inform our allowance for credit losses, including, but not limited to,
historical loss and recovery experience, recent trends in delinquencies and charge-offs, risk ratings, the impact of bankruptcy
filings, the value of collateral underlying secured loans, account seasoning, changes in our credit evaluation, underwriting and
collection management policies, seasonality, credit bureau scores, current general economic conditions, changes in the legal and
regulatory environment and uncertainties in forecasting and modeling techniques used in estimating our allowance for credit
losses.
We have a governance framework supported by processes and controls intended to ensure that our estimate of the allowance for
credit losses is appropriate. Our governance framework provides for oversight of methods, models, qualitative adjustments,
process controls and results. At least quarterly, representatives from the Finance and Risk Management organizations review
and assess our allowance methodologies, key assumptions and the appropriateness of the allowance for credit losses. Groups
independent of our estimation functions participate in the review and validation process. Tasks performed by these groups
include periodic review of the rationale for and quantification of inputs requiring judgment as well as adjustments to results.
We have a model policy, established by an independent Model Risk Office, which governs the validation of models and related
supporting documentation to ensure the appropriate use of models for estimating credit losses. The Model Risk Office validates
all models and requires ongoing monitoring of their performance.
In addition to the allowance for credit losses, on a quarterly basis, we review and assess our estimate of expected losses related
to unfunded lending commitments that are not unconditionally cancellable which are generally in our Commercial Banking
business. The factors impacting our assessment generally align with those considered in our evaluation of the allowance for
credit losses for the Commercial Banking business. The reserve for losses on unfunded lending commitments is included in
other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets and changes to it are recorded through the provision for credit losses in the
consolidated statements of income.
66
Capital One Financial Corporation (COF)
Although we examine a variety of externally available data, as well as our internal loan performance data, to determine our
allowance for credit losses and reserve for unfunded lending commitments, our estimation process is subject to risks and
uncertainties, including a reliance on historical loss and trend information that may not be representative of current conditions
and indicative of future performance as well as economic forecasts that may not align with actual future economic conditions.
Accordingly, our actual credit loss experience may not be in line with our expectations. We provide additional information on
the methodologies and key assumptions used in determining our allowance for credit losses for each of our loan portfolio
segments in “Part II—Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data—Note 1—Summary of Significant Accounting
Policies.” We provide information on the components of our allowance, disaggregated by operating segment, and changes in
our allowance in “Part II—Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data—Note 4—Allowance for Credit Losses and
Reserve for Unfunded Lending Commitments.”
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the fair value of the consideration transferred, plus the fair value of any non-controlling
interests in the acquiree, over the fair value of the net assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date.
Goodwill totaled $14.8 billion as of both December 31, 2022 and 2021. We did not recognize any goodwill impairment in 2022
or 2021. See “Part II—Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data—Note 6—Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”
for additional information.
We perform our goodwill impairment test annually on October 1 at a reporting unit level. We are also required to test goodwill
for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate it is more-likely-than-not that an impairment may have occurred. An
impairment of a reporting unit’s goodwill is determined based on the amount by which the reporting unit’s carrying value
exceeds its fair value, limited to the amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. We have four reporting units: Credit
Card, Auto Finance, Other Consumer Banking and Commercial Banking.
For the purpose of our goodwill impairment testing, we calculate the carrying amount of a reporting unit using an allocated
capital approach based on each reporting unit’s specific regulatory capital requirements, economic capital requirements and
underlying risks. The carrying amount for a reporting unit is the sum of its respective capital requirements, goodwill and other
intangibles balances. Known future capital needs, such as dividends, share buybacks or other strategic initiatives, are assumed
distributed to equity holders in future periods and are not allocated to the reporting units or the Other category.
Determining the fair value of a reporting unit is a subjective process that requires the use of estimates and the exercise of
significant judgment. We calculate the fair value of our reporting units using a discounted cash flow (“DCF”) calculation, a
form of the income approach. This DCF calculation uses projected cash flows based on each reporting unit’s internal forecast
and the perpetuity growth method to calculate terminal values. Our DCF calculation requires management to make estimates
about future loan, deposit and revenue growth, as well as credit losses and capital rates. These cash flows and terminal values
are then discounted using discount rates based on our external cost of capital with adjustments for the risk inherent in each
reporting unit. Discount rates used for our reporting units ranged from 8.4% to 12.2%, and we applied a terminal year long-term
growth rate of 3.7% to all reporting units. The reasonableness of our DCF calculation is assessed by reference to a market-based
approach using comparable market multiples and recent market transactions where available. The results of the 2022 annual
impairment test for the reporting units indicated that the estimated fair values of the Commercial Banking, Credit Card, Auto
Finance, and Other Consumer Banking reporting units exceeded their carrying amounts by between 17% and 72%.
Assumptions used in estimating the fair value of a reporting unit are judgmental and inherently uncertain. A change in the
economic conditions of a reporting unit, such as declines in business performance as a result of industry or macroeconomic
trends or changes in our strategy, adverse impacts to loan or deposit growth trends, decreases in revenue, increases in expenses,
increases in credit losses, increases in capital requirements, deterioration of market conditions, declines in long-term growth
expectations, adverse impacts of regulatory or legislative changes or increases in the estimated cost of capital, including if these
conditions are merely forecasted to occur in future periods, could cause the estimated fair values of our reporting units to
decline in the future, and increase the risk of a goodwill impairment in a future period.
We have a governance framework supported by processes and controls intended to ensure that the accounting and disclosure for
goodwill is appropriate. Our governance framework provides for oversight of assumptions, forecast inputs, methods, process
controls and results.

Capital One Financial Corporation (COF)
Fair Value
Fair value, also referred to as an exit price, is defined as the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a
liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The fair value accounting guidance
provides a three-level fair value hierarchy for classifying financial instruments. This hierarchy is based on the markets in which
the assets or liabilities trade and whether the inputs to the valuation techniques used to measure fair value are observable or
unobservable. The fair value measurement of a financial asset or liability is assigned a level based on the lowest level of any
input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described
below:
Level 1: Valuation is based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Valuation is based on observable market-based inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar
assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated
by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3: Valuation is generated from techniques that use significant assumptions not observable in the market. Valuation
techniques include pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques.
The degree of management judgment involved in determining the fair value of a financial instrument is dependent upon the
availability of quoted prices in active markets or observable market parameters. When quoted prices and observable data in
active markets are not fully available, management judgment is necessary to estimate fair value. Changes in market conditions,
such as reduced liquidity in the capital markets or changes in secondary market activities, may reduce the availability and
reliability of quoted prices or observable data used to determine fair value.
We have developed policies and procedures to determine when markets for our financial assets and liabilities are inactive if the
level and volume of activity has declined significantly relative to normal conditions. If markets are determined to be inactive, it
may be appropriate to adjust price quotes received. When significant adjustments are required to price quotes or inputs, it may
be appropriate to utilize an estimate based primarily on unobservable inputs.
Significant judgment may be required to determine whether certain financial instruments measured at fair value are classified as
Level 2 or Level 3. In making this determination, we consider all available information that market participants use to measure
the fair value of the financial instrument, including observable market data, indications of market liquidity and orderliness, and
our understanding of the valuation techniques and significant inputs used. Based upon the specific facts and circumstances of
each instrument or instrument category, judgments are made regarding the significance of the Level 3 inputs to the instruments’
fair value measurement in its entirety. If Level 3 inputs are considered significant, the instrument is classified as Level 3. The
process for determining fair value using unobservable inputs is generally more subjective and involves a high degree of
management judgment and assumptions. We discuss changes in the valuation inputs and assumptions used in determining the
fair value of our financial instruments, including the extent to which we have relied on significant unobservable inputs to
estimate fair value and our process for corroborating these inputs, in “Part II—Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary
Data—Note 16—Fair Value Measurement.”
We have a governance framework and a number of key controls that are intended to ensure that our fair value measurements are
appropriate and reliable. Our governance framework provides for independent oversight and segregation of duties. Our control
processes include review and approval of new transaction types, price verification, and review of valuation judgments, methods,
models, process controls and results.
Groups independent of our trading and investing functions participate in the review and validation process. Tasks performed by
these groups include periodic verification of fair value measurements to determine if assigned fair values are reasonable,
including comparing prices from vendor pricing services to other available market information.
Our Fair Value Committee (“FVC”), which includes representation from business areas, Risk Management and Finance,
provides guidance and oversight to ensure an appropriate valuation control environment. The FVC regularly reviews and
approves our fair valuations to ensure that our valuation practices are consistent with industry standards and adhere to
regulatory and accounting guidance.
68
Capital One Financial Corporation (COF)
We have a model policy, established by an independent Model Risk Office, which governs the validation of models and related
supporting documentation to ensure the appropriate use of models for pricing and fair value measurements. The Model Risk
Office validates all models and requires ongoing monitoring of their performance.
The fair value governance process is set up in a manner that allows the Chairperson of the FVC to escalate valuation disputes
that cannot be resolved by the FVC to a more senior committee called the Valuations Advisory Committee (“VAC”) for
resolution. The VAC is chaired by the Chief Financial Officer and includes other members of senior management. . There were
no disputes escalated to the VAC for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021.
Customer Rewards Reserve
We offer products, primarily credit cards, which include programs that allow members to earn rewards based on account
activity that can be redeemed for cash (primarily in the form of statement credits), gift cards, travel, or covering eligible
charges. The amount of rewards that a customer earns varies based on the terms and conditions of the rewards program and
product. The majority of our rewards do not expire and there is no limit on the amount of rewards an eligible card member can
earn. Customer rewards costs, which we generally record as an offset to interchange income, are driven by various factors such
as card member purchase volume, the terms and conditions of the rewards program and rewards redemption cost. We establish
a customer rewards reserve that reflects management’s judgment regarding rewards earned that are expected to be redeemed
and the estimated redemption cost.
We use financial models to estimate ultimate redemption rates of rewards earned to date by current card members based on
historical redemption trends, current enrollee redemption behavior, card product type, year of program enrollment, enrollment
tenure and card spend levels. Our current assumption is that the vast majority of all rewards earned will eventually be
redeemed. We use the weighted-average redemption cost during the previous twelve months, adjusted as appropriate for recent
changes in redemption costs, including changes related to the mix of rewards redeemed, to estimate future redemption costs.
We continually evaluate our reserve and assumptions based on developments in redemption patterns, changes to the terms and
conditions of the rewards program and other factors. While the rewards liability is sensitive to changes in assumptions for
redemption rates and costs and involves management judgment, we believe portfolio characteristics and historical performance
are the best indication of future reward redemption behavior and are the primary basis for our estimate. We recognized
customer rewards expense of $7.6 billion, $6.4 billion and $4.9 billion in 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Our customer
rewards reserve, which is included in other liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets, totaled $6.8 billion and $6.2 billion as
of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
We have a governance framework supported by processes and controls that are intended to ensure that our rewards liability
estimate is appropriate and reliable. Our governance framework provides for oversight of assumptions, inputs, methods, process
controls and results. Additional controls are performed to ensure all underlying data used to derive the rewards liability is
complete and accurate.

CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
The level and composition of our capital are determined by multiple factors, including our consolidated regulatory capital
requirements as described in more detail below and internal risk-based capital assessments such as internal stress testing. The
level and composition of our capital may also be influenced by rating agency guidelines, subsidiary capital requirements,
business environment, conditions in the financial markets and assessments of potential future losses due to adverse changes in
our business and market environments.
Capital Standards and Prompt Corrective Action
The Company and the Bank are subject to the Basel III Capital Rules. The Basel III Capital Rules implement certain capital
requirements published by the Basel Committee, along with certain provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act and other capital
provisions.
As a BHC with total consolidated assets of at least $250 billion but less than $700 billion and not exceeding any of the
applicable risk-based thresholds, the Company is a Category III institution under the Basel III Capital Rules.
The Bank, as a subsidiary of a Category III institution, is a Category III bank. Moreover, the Bank, as an insured depository
institution, is subject to PCA capital regulations.
Basel III and United States Capital Rules
Under the Basel III Capital Rules, we must maintain a minimum CET1 capital ratio of 4.5%, a Tier 1 capital ratio of 6.0% and a
total capital ratio of 8.0%, in each case in relation to risk-weighted assets. In addition, we must maintain a minimum leverage
ratio of 4.0% and a minimum supplementary leverage ratio of 3.0%. We are also subject to the capital conservation buffer
requirement and countercyclical capital buffer requirement as described below. Our capital and leverage ratios are calculated
based on the Basel III standardized approach framework.
We have elected to exclude certain elements of AOCI from our regulatory capital as permitted for a Category III institution.
G-SIBs that are based in the U.S. are subject to an additional CET1 capital requirement known as the “G-SIB Surcharge.” We
are not a G-SIB based on the most recent available data and thus we are not subject to a G-SIB Surcharge.
Stress Capital Buffer Rule
The Basel III Capital Rules require banking institutions to maintain a capital conservation buffer, composed of CET1 capital,
above the regulatory minimum ratios. Under the Stress Capital Buffer Rule, the Company’s “standardized approach capital
conservation buffer” includes its stress capital buffer requirement (as described below), any G-SIB Surcharge (which is not
applicable to us) and the countercyclical capital buffer requirement (which is currently set at 0%). Any determination to
increase the countercyclical capital buffer generally would be effective twelve months after the announcement of such an
increase, unless the Federal Banking Agencies set an earlier effective date.
The Company’s stress capital buffer requirement is recalibrated every year based on the Company’s supervisory stress test
results. In particular, the Company’s stress capital buffer requirement equals, subject to a floor of 2.5%, the sum of (i) the
difference between the Company’s starting CET1 capital ratio and its lowest projected CET1 capital ratio under the severely
adverse scenario of the Federal Reserve’s supervisory stress test plus (ii) the ratio of the Company’s projected four quarters of
common stock dividends (for the fourth to seventh quarters of the planning horizon) to the projected risk-weighted assets for
the quarter in which the Company’s projected CET1 capital ratio reaches its minimum under the supervisory stress test.
Based on the Company’s 2021 supervisory stress test results, the Company’s stress capital buffer requirement for the period
beginning on October 1, 2021 through September 30, 2022 was 2.5%. Therefore, the Company’s minimum capital requirements
plus the standardized approach capital conservation buffer for CET1 capital, Tier 1 capital and total capital ratios under the
stress capital buffer framework were 7.0%, 8.5% and 10.5%, respectively, for the period from October 1, 2021 through
September 30, 2022.
Based on the Company’s 2022 supervisory stress test results, the Company’s stress capital buffer requirement for the period
beginning on October 1, 2022 through September 30, 2023 is 3.1%. Therefore, the Company’s minimum capital requirements
plus the standardized approach capital conservation buffer for CET1 capital, Tier 1 capital and total capital ratios under the
70
Capital One Financial Corporation (COF)
stress capital buffer framework are 7.6%, 9.1% and 11.1%, respectively, for the period from October 1, 2022 through
September 30, 2023.
The Stress Capital Buffer Rule does not apply to the Bank. The capital conservation buffer for the Bank continues to be fixed at
2.5%. Accordingly, the Bank’s minimum capital requirements plus its capital conservation buffer for CET1 capital, Tier 1
capital and total capital ratios are 7.0%, 8.5% and 10.5% respectively.
If the Company or the Bank fails to maintain its capital ratios above the minimum capital requirements plus the applicable
capital conservation buffer requirements, it will face increasingly strict automatic limitations on capital distributions and
discretionary bonus payments to certain executive officers.
As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, the Company and the Bank each exceeded the minimum capital requirements
and the capital conservation buffer requirements applicable to them, and the Company and the Bank were each “well-
capitalized.” The “well-capitalized” standards applicable to the Company are established in the Federal Reserve’s regulations,
and the “well-capitalized” standards applicable to the Bank are established in the OCC’s PCA capital requirements.
Market Risk Rule
The “Market Risk Rule” supplements the Basel III Capital Rules by requiring institutions subject to the rule to adjust their risk-
based capital ratios to reflect the market risk in their trading book. The Market Risk Rule generally applies to institutions with
aggregate trading assets and liabilities equal to 10% or more of total assets or $1 billion or more. As of December 31, 2022, the
Company and CONA are subject to the Market Risk Rule. See “Market Risk Profile” below for additional information.
CECL Transition Rule
The Federal Banking Agencies adopted the CECL Transition Rule that provides banking institutions an optional five-year
transition period to phase in the impact of the CECL standard on their regulatory capital, the CECL Transition Election. We
adopted the CECL standard (for accounting purposes) as of January 1, 2020, and made the CECL Transition Election (for
regulatory capital purposes) in the first quarter of 2020. Therefore, the applicable amounts presented in this Report reflect such
election.
Pursuant to the CECL Transition Rule, a banking institution could elect to delay the estimated impact of adopting CECL on its
regulatory capital through December 31, 2021 and then phase in the estimated cumulative impact from January 1, 2022 through
December 31, 2024. For the “day 2” ongoing impact of CECL during the initial two years, the Federal Banking Agencies used a
uniform “scaling factor” of 25% as an approximation of the increase in the allowance under the CECL standard compared to the
prior incurred loss methodology. Accordingly, from January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2021, electing banking institutions
were permitted to add back to their regulatory capital an amount equal to the sum of the after-tax “day 1” CECL adoption
impact and 25% of the increase in the allowance since the adoption of the CECL standard. From January 1, 2022 through
December 31, 2024, the after-tax “day 1” CECL adoption impact and the cumulative “day 2” ongoing impact are being phased
in to regulatory capital at 25% per year. The following table summarizes the capital impact delay and phase in period on our
regulatory capital from years 2020 to 2025.

As of December 31, 2021, we added back an aggregate amount of $2.4 billion to our regulatory capital pursuant to the CECL
Transition Rule. Consistent with the rule, we phased in 25% of this amount, or $599 million, on January 1, 2022, leaving $1.8
billion to be phased in over 2023-2025. As of December 31, 2022, the Company’s CET1 capital ratio, reflecting the CECL
Transition Rule, was 12.5% and would have been 12.0% excluding the impact of the CECL Transition Rule (or “on a fully
phased-in basis”).

Regulation.”

In January 2022, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $5.0 billion of shares of our common stock. In April
2022, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to an additional $5.0 billion of shares of our common stock. For
the year ended December 31, 2022, we repurchased $4.8 billion of shares of our common stock.
On June 23, 2022, the Federal Reserve released the supervisory stress test results for the 2022 CCAR cycle. Based on the
Company’s 2022 supervisory stress test results, the Company’s stress capital buffer requirement for the period beginning on
October 1, 2022 through September 30, 2023 is 3.1%. Therefore, the Company’s minimum capital requirements plus the

The declaration and payment of dividends to our stockholders, as well as the amount thereof, are subject to the discretion of our
Board of Directors and depend upon our results of operations, financial condition, capital levels, cash requirements, future
prospects, regulatory requirements and other factors deemed relevant by the Board of Directors. As a BHC, our ability to pay
dividends is largely dependent upon the receipt of dividends or other payments from our subsidiaries. The Bank is subject to
regulatory restrictions that limit its ability to transfer funds to our BHC. As of December 31, 2022, funds available for dividend
payments from the Bank were $3.2 billion. There can be no assurance that we will declare and pay any dividends to
stockholders.
In January 2022, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $5.0 billion of shares of our common stock. In April
2022, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to an additional $5.0 billion of shares of our common stock. For
the year ended December 31, 2022, we repurchased $4.8 billion of shares of our common stock.
The timing and exact amount of any future common stock repurchases will depend on various factors, including regulatory
approval, market conditions, opportunities for growth, our capital position and the amount of retained earnings. The Board
authorized stock repurchase program does not include specific price targets, may be executed through open market purchases,
tender offers, or privately negotiated transactions, including utilizing Rule 10b5-1 programs, and may be suspended at any time.
For additional information on dividends and stock repurchases, see “Capital Management—Capital Planning and Regulatory
Stress Testing” and “Part I—Item 1. Business—Supervision and Regulation—Dividends, Stock Repurchases and Transfers of

develops the strategy with input from the first, second, and third lines of defense, as well as the Board of Directors. The
strategic planning process considers relevant changes to the Company’s overall risk profile.
Our Board of Directors approves a Risk Appetite Statement for the Company to set forth the high-level principles that govern
risk taking at the Company. The Risk Appetite Statement defines the Board of Directors’ tolerance for certain risk outcomes at
an enterprise level and enables senior management to manage and report within these boundaries. This Risk Appetite Statement
is also supported by risk category specific risk appetite statements as well as metrics and, where appropriate, Board Limits and
Board Notification Thresholds.
Risk Identification
The first line of defense and certain Support Functions identify new and emerging risks, including concentration of risk, across
the relevant risk categories associated with their business activities and objectives, in consultation with IRM. Risk identification
also must be informed by major changes in infrastructure or organization, introduction of new products and services,
acquisitions of businesses, or substantial changes in the internal or external environment.
IRM and certain Support Functions, where appropriate, provide effective challenge in the risk identification process. IRM is
also responsible for identifying our material aggregate risks on an ongoing basis.
76
Capital One Financial Corporation (COF)
Assessment, Measurement and Response
Management assesses risks associated with our activities. Risks identified are assessed to understand the severity of each risk
and likelihood of occurrence under both normal and stressful conditions. Risk severity is measured through modeling and other
quantitative estimation approaches, as well as qualitative approaches, based on management judgment. As part of the risk
assessment process, the first and second lines of defense also evaluate the effectiveness of the existing control environment and
mitigation strategies.
Management determines the appropriate risk response. Risks may be mitigated or accepted. Actions taken to respond to the risk
include implementing new controls, enhancing existing controls, developing additional mitigation strategies to reduce the
impact of the risk, and/or monitoring the risk.
Monitoring and Testing
Management periodically monitors risks to evaluate and measure how the risk is affecting our strategy and business objectives,
in alignment with risk appetite, including established concentration risk limits. The scope and frequency of monitoring activities
depends on the results of relevant risk assessments, as well as specific business risk operations and activities.
The first line of defense is required to evaluate the effectiveness of risk management practices and controls through testing and
other activities. IRM and Support Functions, as appropriate, assess the first line of defense’s evaluation of risk management,
which may include conducting effective challenge, performing independent monitoring, or conducting risk or control
validations. The third line of defense provides independent assurance for first and second line risk management practices and
controls.
Aggregation, Reporting and Escalation
Risk aggregation supports strategic decision making and risk management practices through collectively reporting risks across
different levels of the Company and providing a comprehensive view of performance against risk appetite. Capital One’s risk
aggregation processes are designed to aggregate risk information from lower levels of the business hierarchy to high levels and
to aggregate risk information to determine material risk themes.
Material risks, new or emerging risks, aggregate risks, risk appetite metrics and other measures across all risk categories are
reported to the appropriate governance forum no less than quarterly. Material risks are reported to the Board of Directors and
senior management committees no less than quarterly.
Capital and Liquidity Management (including Stress Testing)
Our capital management processes are linked to its risk management practices, including the enterprise-wide identification,
assessment and measurement of risks to ensure that all relevant risks are incorporated in the assessment of the Company's
capital adequacy. We use identified risks to inform key aspects of the Company’s capital planning, including the development
of stress scenarios, the assessment of the adequacy of post-stress capital levels, and the appropriateness of potential capital
actions considering the Company’s capital objectives. We quantify capital needs through stress testing, regulatory capital,
economic capital and assessments of market considerations. In assessing its capital adequacy, we identify how and where our
material risks are accounted for within the capital planning process. Monitoring and escalation processes exist for key capital
thresholds and metrics to continuously monitor capital adequacy.
We manage liquidity risk by applying our Liquidity Adequacy Framework (the “Liquidity Framework”). The Liquidity
Framework uses internal and regulatory stress testing and the evaluation of other balance sheet metrics to confirm that we
maintain a fortified balance sheet that is resilient to uncertainties that may arise as a consequence of systemic, idiosyncratic, or
combined liquidity events.
Risk Data and Enabling Technology
Risk data and technology provides the basis for risk reporting and is used in decision making and to monitor and review
changes to our risk profile. There is a core Governance, Risk Management and Compliance system which is used as the system
of record for risks, controls, issues and events for our risk categories and supports the analysis, aggregation and reporting
capabilities across the categories.
77
Capital One Financial Corporation (COF)
Culture and Talent Management
The Framework must be supported with the right culture, talent and skills to enable effective risk management across the
Company.
Every associate at the Company is responsible for risk management; however, associates with specific risk management skills
and expertise within the first, second and third lines of defense are critical to execute appropriate risk management across the
enterprise.
Risk Categories
We apply our Framework to protect the Company from the major categories of risk that we are exposed to through our business
activities. Our seven major categories of risk are:
Major Categories of Risk
Compliance
The risk to current or anticipated earnings or capital arising from violations of laws, rules or regulations.
Compliance risk can also arise from nonconformance with prescribed practices, internal policies and procedures,
contractual obligations or ethical standards that reinforce those laws, rules or regulations
Credit
The risk to current or projected financial condition and resilience arising from an obligor’s failure to meet the terms
of any contract with the Company or otherwise perform as agreed
Liquidity
The risk that the Company will not be able to meet its future financial obligations as they come due, or invest in
future asset growth because of an inability to obtain funds at a reasonable price within a reasonable time
Market
The risk that an institution’s earnings or the economic value of equity could be adversely impacted by changes in
interest rates, foreign exchange rates or other market factors
Operational
The risk of loss, capital impairment, adverse customer experience or reputational impact resulting from failure to
comply with policies and procedures, failed internal processes or systems, or from external events
Reputation
The risk to market value, recruitment and retention of talented associates and maintenance of a loyal customer base
due to the negative perceptions of our internal and external constituents regarding our business strategies and
activities
Strategic
The risk of a material impact on current or anticipated earnings, capital, franchise or enterprise value arising from
the Company’s competitive and market position and evolving forces in the industry that can affect that position;
lack of responsiveness to these conditions; strategic decisions to change the Company’s scale, market position or
operating model; or, failure to appropriately consider implementation risks inherent in the Company’s strategy
We provide an overview of how we manage our seven major categories of risk below.
Compliance Risk Management
We recognize that compliance requirements for financial institutions are increasingly complex and that there are heightened
expectations from our regulators and our customers. In response, we continuously evaluate the regulatory environment and
proactively adjust our compliance program to fully address these expectations.
Our Compliance Management Program establishes expectations for determining compliance requirements, assessing the risk of
new product offerings, creating appropriate controls and training to address requirements, monitoring for control performance,
and independently testing for adherence to compliance requirements. The program also establishes regular compliance reporting
to senior business leaders, the executive committee and the Board of Directors.
78
Capital One Financial Corporation (COF)
The Chief Compliance Officer is responsible for establishing and overseeing our Compliance Management Program. Business
areas incorporate compliance requirements and controls into their business policies, standards, processes and procedures. They
regularly monitor and report on the efficacy of their compliance controls and our Compliance team periodically independently
tests to validate the effectiveness of business controls.
Credit Risk Management
We recognize that we are exposed to cyclical changes in credit quality. Consequently, we try to ensure our credit portfolio is
resilient to economic downturns. Our most important tool in this endeavor is sound underwriting. In unsecured consumer loan
underwriting, we generally assume that loans will be subject to an environment in which losses are higher than those prevailing
at the time of underwriting. In commercial underwriting, we generally require strong cash flow, collateral, covenants, and
guarantees. In addition to sound underwriting, we continually monitor our portfolio and take steps to collect or work out
distressed loans.
The Chief Risk Officer, in conjunction with the Consumer and Commercial Chief Credit Officers, is responsible for
establishing credit risk policies and procedures, including underwriting and hold guidelines and credit approval authority, and
monitoring credit exposure and performance of our lending related transactions. Our Consumer and Commercial Chief Credit
Officers are responsible for evaluating the risk implications of credit strategy and the oversight of credit for both the existing
portfolio and any new credit investments. They also have formal approval authority for various types and levels of credit
decisions, including individual commercial loan transactions. Division Presidents within each segment are responsible for
managing the credit risk within their divisions and maintaining processes to control credit risk and comply with credit policies
and guidelines. In addition, the Chief Risk Officer establishes policies, delegates approval authority and monitors performance
for non-loan credit exposure entered into with financial counterparties or through the purchase of credit sensitive securities in
our investment portfolio.
Our credit policies establish standards in five areas: customer selection, underwriting, monitoring, remediation and portfolio
management. The standards in each area provide a framework comprising specific objectives and control processes. These
standards are supported by detailed policies and procedures for each component of the credit process. Starting with customer
selection, our goal is to generally provide credit on terms that generate above hurdle returns. We use a number of quantitative
and qualitative factors to manage credit risk, including setting credit risk limits and guidelines for each of our lines of business.
We monitor performance relative to these guidelines and report results and any required mitigating actions to appropriate senior
management committees and our Board of Directors.
Liquidity Risk Management
We manage liquidity risk by applying our Liquidity Adequacy Framework (the “Liquidity Framework”). The Liquidity
Framework uses internal and regulatory stress testing and the evaluation of other balance sheet metrics to confirm that we
maintain a fortified balance sheet that is resilient to uncertainties that may arise as a consequence of systemic, idiosyncratic, or
combined liquidity events. We continuously monitor market and economic conditions to evaluate emerging stress conditions
and to develop appropriate action plans in accordance with our Contingency Funding Plan and our Recovery Plan, which
include the Company’s policies, procedures and action plans for managing liquidity stress events. The Liquidity Framework
enables us to manage our liquidity risk in accordance with regulatory requirements.
Additionally, the Liquidity Framework establishes governing principles that apply to the management of liquidity risk. We use
these principles to monitor, measure and report liquidity risk; to develop funding and investment strategies that enable us to
maintain an adequate level of liquidity to support our businesses and satisfy regulatory requirements; and to protect us from a
broad range of liquidity events should they arise.
The Chief Risk Officer, in conjunction with the Chief Market and Liquidity Risk Officer, is responsible for the establishment of
liquidity risk management policies and standards for governance and monitoring of liquidity risk at a corporate level. We assess
liquidity strength by evaluating several different balance sheet metrics under severe stress scenarios to ensure we can withstand
significant funding degradation through idiosyncratic, systemic and combined liquidity stress scenarios. Management reports
liquidity metrics to appropriate senior management committees and to our Board of Directors no less than quarterly.
We seek to mitigate liquidity risk strategically and tactically. From a strategic perspective, we have acquired and built deposit
gathering businesses and actively monitor our funding concentration. From a tactical perspective, we have accumulated a
sizable liquidity reserve comprised of cash and cash equivalents, high-quality, unencumbered securities and committed
79
Capital One Financial Corporation (COF)
collateralized credit lines. We also continue to maintain access to secured and unsecured debt markets through regular issuance.
This combination of stable and diversified funding sources and our stockpile of liquidity reserves enable us to maintain
confidence in our liquidity position.
Market Risk Management
The Chief Financial Officer and the Chief Risk Officer are responsible for the establishment of market risk management
policies and standards for the governance and monitoring of market risk at a corporate level. Market risk is inherent from the
financial instruments associated with our business operations and activities including loans, deposits, securities, short-term
borrowings, long-term debt and derivatives. We manage market risk exposure, which is principally driven by balance sheet
interest rate risk, centrally and establish quantitative risk limits to monitor and control our exposure.
We recognize that interest rate and foreign exchange risk is present in our business due to the nature of our assets and liabilities.
In addition to using industry accepted techniques to analyze and measure interest rate and foreign exchange risk, we perform
sensitivity analysis to identify our risk exposures under a broad range of scenarios. Investment securities and derivatives are the
main levers for the management of interest rate risk. In addition, we also use derivatives to manage our foreign exchange risk.
The market risk positions for the Company and the Bank are calculated separately and in aggregate, and analyzed against pre-
established limits. Results are reported to the Asset Liability Committee monthly and to the Risk Committee of the Board of
Directors no less than quarterly. Management is authorized to utilize financial instruments as outlined in our policy to actively
manage market risk exposure.
Operational Risk Management
We recognize the criticality of managing operational risk on both a strategic and day-to-day basis and that there are heightened
expectations from our regulators and our customers. We have implemented appropriate operational risk management policies,
standards, processes and controls to enable the delivery of high quality and consistent customer experiences and to achieve
business objectives in a controlled manner.
The Chief Operational Risk Officer is responsible for establishing and overseeing our Operational Risk Management Program.
The program establishes practices for assessing the operational risk profile and executing key control processes for operational
risks. These risks include topics such as internal and external fraud, cyber and technology risk, data management, model risk,
third party management, and business continuity. Operational Risk Management enforces these practices and delivers reporting
of operational risk results to senior business leaders, the executive committee and the Board of Directors.
Reputation Risk Management
We recognize that reputation risk is of particular concern for financial institutions and, increasingly, technology companies, in
the current environment. Areas of concern have expanded to include company policies, practices and values and, with the
growing use of social and digital platforms, public corporations face a new level of scrutiny and channels for activism and
advocacy. The heightened expectations of internal and external stakeholders have made corporate culture, values and conduct
pressure points for individuals and advocates voicing concerns or seeking change. We manage both strategic and tactical
reputation issues and build our relationships with government officials, media, community and consumer advocates, customers
and other constituencies to help strengthen the reputations of both our Company and industry. Our actions include
implementing pro-customer practices in our business and serving low to moderate income communities in our market area
consistent with a quality bank and an innovative technology leader. The Executive Vice President of External Affairs is
responsible for managing our overall reputation risk program. Day-to-day activities are controlled by the frameworks set forth
in our Reputation Risk Management Policy and other risk management policies.
Strategic Risk Management
We monitor external market and industry developments to identify potential areas of strategic opportunity or risk. These inform
the Company’s strategy, which is led by the Chief Executive Officer and other senior executives. The Chief Risk Officer
identifies and assesses risks associated with the Company’s strategy across all risk categories and monitors these risks
throughout the year.
80
Capital One Financial Corporation (COF)
Our Strategic Risk Management Policy, processes and controls encompass an ongoing assessment of risks associated with
corporate or line of business specific strategies. These risks are managed through periodic reviews, along with regular updates
to senior management and the Board.
CREDIT RISK PROFILE
Our loan portfolio accounts for the substantial majority of our credit risk exposure. Our lending activities are governed under
our credit policy and are subject to independent review and approval. Below we provide information about the composition of
our loan portfolio, key concentrations and credit performance metrics.
We also engage in certain non-lending activities that may give rise to ongoing credit and counterparty settlement risk, including
purchasing securities for our investment securities portfolio, entering into derivative transactions to manage our market risk
exposure and to accommodate customers, extending short-term advances on syndication activity including bridge financing
transactions we have underwritten, depositing certain operational cash balances in other financial institutions, executing certain
foreign exchange transactions and extending customer overdrafts. We provide additional information related to our investment
securities portfolio under “Consolidated Balance Sheets Analysis—Investment Securities” and “Part II—Item 8. Financial
Statements and Supplementary Data—Note 2—Investment Securities” as well as credit risk related to derivative transactions in
“Part II—Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data—Note 9—Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.”
Primary Loan Products
We provide a variety of lending products. Our primary loan products include credit cards, auto loans and commercial lending
products.
•
•
•
Credit cards: We originate both prime and subprime credit cards through a variety of channels. Our credit cards
generally have variable interest rates. Credit card accounts are primarily underwritten using an automated underwriting
system based on predictive models that we have developed. The underwriting criteria, which are customized for
individual products and marketing programs, are established based on an analysis of the net present value of expected
revenues, expenses and losses, subject to further analysis using a variety of stress conditions. Underwriting decisions are
generally based on credit bureau information, including payment history, debt burden and credit scores, such as FICO
scores, and on other factors, such as applicant income. We maintain a credit card securitization program and selectively
sell charged-off credit card loans.
Auto: We originate both prime and subprime auto loans through a network of auto dealers and direct marketing. Our auto
loans generally have fixed interest rates and loan terms of 75 months or less, but can go up to 84 months. Loan size limits
are customized by program and are generally less than $75,000. Similar to credit card accounts, the underwriting criteria
are customized for individual products and marketing programs and based on analysis of net present value of expected
revenues, expenses and losses, and are subject to maintaining resilience under a variety of stress conditions.
Underwriting decisions are generally based on an applicant’s income, estimated net disposable income, and credit bureau
information including FICO scores, along with collateral characteristics such as loan-to-value (“LTV”) ratio. We
maintain an auto securitization program.
Commercial: We offer a range of commercial lending products, including loans secured by commercial real estate and
loans to middle market commercial and industrial companies. Our commercial loans may have a fixed or variable
interest rate; however, the majority of our commercial loans have variable rates. Our underwriting standards require an
analysis of the borrower’s financial condition and prospects, as well as an assessment of the industry in which the
borrower operates. Where relevant, we evaluate and appraise underlying collateral and guarantees. We maintain
underwriting guidelines and limits for major types of borrowers and loan products that specify, where applicable,
guidelines for debt service coverage, leverage, LTV ratio and standard covenants and conditions. We assign a risk rating
and establish a monitoring schedule for loans based on the risk profile of the borrower, industry segment, source of
repayment, the underlying collateral and guarantees, if any, and current market conditions. Although we generally retain
the commercial loans we underwrite, we may syndicate positions for risk mitigation purposes, including bridge financing
transactions we have underwritten. In addition, we originate and service multifamily commercial real estate loans which
are sold to government-sponsored enterprises.

We closely monitor economic conditions and loan performance trends to assess and manage our exposure to credit risk. Trends
in delinquency rates are the key credit quality indicator for our credit card and retail banking loan portfolios as changes in
delinquency rates can provide an early warning of changes in potential future credit losses. The key indicator we monitor when
assessing the credit quality and risk of our auto loan portfolio is borrower credit scores as they provide insight into borrower
risk profiles, which give indications of potential future credit losses. The key credit quality indicator for our commercial loan
portfolios is our internal risk ratings as we generally classify loans that have been delinquent for an extended period of time and
other loans with significant risk of loss as nonperforming. In addition to these credit quality indicators, we also manage and
monitor other credit quality metrics such as level of nonperforming loans and net charge-off rates.
We underwrite most consumer loans using proprietary models, which typically include credit bureau data, such as borrower
credit scores, application information and, where applicable, collateral and deal structure data. We continuously adjust our
management of credit lines and collection strategies based on customer behavior and risk profile changes. We also use borrower
credit scores for subprime classification, for competitive benchmarking and, in some cases, to drive product segmentation
decisions.

Percentages represent period-end loans held for investment in each credit score category. Domestic Card credit scores generally represent FICO scores.
These scores are obtained from one of the major credit bureaus at origination and are refreshed monthly thereafter. We approximate non-FICO credit
scores to comparable FICO scores for consistency purposes. Balances for which no credit score is available or the credit score is invalid are included in
the 660 or below category.
Percentages represent period-end loans held for investment in each credit score category. Auto credit scores generally represent average FICO scores
obtained from three credit bureaus at the time of application and are not refreshed thereafter. Balances for which no credit score is available or the credit
score is invalid are included in the 620 or below category.
We present information in the section below on the credit performance of our loan portfolio, including the key metrics we use
in tracking changes in the credit quality of our loan portfolio. See “Part II—Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary
Data—Note 3—Loans” for additional credit quality information and see “Part II—Item 8. Financial Statements and
Supplementary Data—Note 1—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” for information on our accounting policies for
delinquent and nonperforming loans, charge-offs and troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) for each of our loan categories.
Delinquency Rates
We consider the entire balance of an account to be delinquent if the minimum required payment is not received by the
customer’s due date, measured at each balance sheet date. Our 30+ day delinquency metrics include all loans held for
investment that are 30 or more days past due, whereas our 30+ day performing delinquency metrics include all loans held for
investment that are 30 or more days past due but are currently classified as performing and accruing interest. The 30+ day
delinquency and 30+ day performing delinquency metrics are the same for domestic credit card loans, as we continue to classify
these loans as performing until the account is charged off, typically when the account is 180 days past due. See “Part II—
Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data—Note 1—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” for information
on our policies for classifying loans as nonperforming for each of our loan categories. We provide additional information on our
credit quality metrics in “Business Segment Financial Performance.”
Table 22 presents our 30+ day performing delinquency rates and 30+ day delinquency rates of our portfolio of loans held for
investment, by portfolio segment, as of December 31, 2022 and 2021.

Delinquency rates are calculated by dividing delinquency amounts by total period-end loans held for investment.
Table 24 summarizes loans that were 90+ days delinquent as to interest or principal and still accruing interest as of December
31, 2022 and 2021. These loans consist primarily of credit card accounts between 90 days and 179 days past due. As permitted
by regulatory guidance issued by the FFIEC, we continue to accrue interest and fees on domestic credit card loans through the
date of charge off, which is typically in the period the account becomes 180 days past due.

Nonperforming Loans and Nonperforming Assets
Nonperforming loans include loans that have been placed on nonaccrual status. Nonperforming assets consist of nonperforming
loans, repossessed assets and other foreclosed assets. See “Part II—Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data—
Note 1—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” for information on our policies for classifying loans as nonperforming
for each of our loan categories.
Table 25 presents our nonperforming loans, by portfolio segment, and other nonperforming assets as of December 31, 2022 and
2021. We do not classify loans held for sale as nonperforming. We provide additional information on our credit quality metrics
in “Business Segment Financial Performance.”

(1) We recognized interest income for loans classified as nonperforming of $66 million and $43 million in 2022 and 2021, respectively. Interest income
foregone related to nonperforming loans was $83 million and $51 million in 2022 and 2021, respectively. Foregone interest income represents the amount
of interest income in excess of recognized interest income that would have been recorded during the period for nonperforming loans as of the end of the
period had the loans performed according to their contractual terms.
(2)
Nonperforming loan rates are calculated based on nonperforming loans for each category divided by period-end total loans held for investment for each
respective category.

Excluding the impact of domestic credit card loans, nonperforming loans as a percentage of total loans held for investment was 0.74% and 0.65% as of
December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
The denominators used in calculating nonperforming asset rates consist of total loans held for investment and other nonperforming assets.
Net Charge-Offs
Net charge-offs consist of the amortized cost basis, excluding accrued interest, of loans held for investment that we determine to
be uncollectible, net of recovered amounts. We charge off loans as a reduction to the allowance for credit losses when we
determine the loan is uncollectible and record subsequent recoveries of previously charged off amounts as increases to the
allowance for credit losses. Uncollectible finance charges and fees are reversed through revenue and certain fraud losses are
recorded in other non-interest expense. Generally, costs to recover charged off loans are recorded as collection expenses as
incurred and are included in our consolidated statements of income as a component of other non-interest expense. Our charge-
off policy for loans varies based on the loan type. See “Part II—Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data—Note 1
—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” for information on our charge-off policy for each of our loan categories.
Table 26 presents our net charge-off amounts and rates, by portfolio segment, in 2022, 2021 and 2020.

Troubled Debt Restructurings
As part of our loss mitigation efforts, we may provide short-term (one to twelve months) or long-term (greater than twelve
months) modifications to a borrower experiencing financial difficulty to improve long-term collectability of the loan and to
avoid the need for repossession or foreclosure of collateral.
We consider the impact of all loan modifications, whether or not that modification is classified as a TDR, when estimating the
credit quality of our loan portfolio and establishing allowance levels. For our Commercial Banking customers, loan
modifications are also considered in the assignment of an internal risk rating.
In our Credit Card business, the majority of our credit card loans modified as TDRs involve reducing the interest rate on the
account and placing the customer on a fixed payment plan not exceeding 60 months. The effective interest rate on the loan
immediately prior to the loan modification is used as the effective interest rate for purposes of measuring impairment using the
present value of expected cash flows.
89
Capital One Financial Corporation (COF)
If the customer does not comply with the modified payment terms, then the credit card loan agreement may revert to its original
payment terms, generally resulting in any loan outstanding being reflected in the appropriate delinquency category and charged
off in accordance with our standard charge-off policy.
In our Consumer Banking business, the majority of our loans modified as TDRs receive an extension, an interest rate reduction,
principal reduction, or a combination of these modifications. In addition, TDRs also occur in connection with bankruptcy of the
borrower. In certain bankruptcy discharges, the loan is written down to the collateral value and the charged off amount is
reported as principal reduction. Impairment is determined using the present value of expected cash flows or a collateral
evaluation for certain auto loans where the collateral value is lower than the amortized cost.
In our Commercial Banking business, the majority of loans modified as TDRs receive an extension, with a portion of these
loans receiving an interest rate reduction or a gross balance reduction. The impairment on modified commercial loans is
generally determined based on the underlying collateral value.
As part of our response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we offered programs to accommodate customer hardship across our lines
of business beginning in the first quarter of 2020. Our COVID-19 programs were designed to be short-term accommodations so
that we could provide our customers with prompt relief. Also in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, additional guidance was
issued by the Federal Banking Agencies and contained in the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES
Act”) which provided banking organizations with TDR relief for loan modifications to certain qualifying borrowers impacted
by the COVID-19 pandemic.
While the majority of enrollments in our COVID-19 programs were short-term and would generally not have resulted in TDR
classification under our existing policies, some of these modification would have been designated as TDRs without the relief
provided by the additional guidance issued by the Federal Banking Agencies and contained in the CARES Act. Therefore, the
expiry of the guidance in the CARES Act on January 1, 2022, along with our concurrent cessation in applying the additional
guidance issued by the Federal Banking Agencies, drove an increase in reported TDRs for periods ending after December 31,
2021.
Table 27 presents our amortized cost of loans modified in TDRs as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, which excludes loan
modifications that do not meet the definition of a TDR.

We provide additional information on modified loans accounted for as a TDR, including the performance of those loans
subsequent to modification, in “Part II—Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data—Note 3—Loans.” We adopted
Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2022-02 as of January 1, 2023, which eliminates the accounting guidance for TDRs.

Allowance for Credit Losses and Reserve for Unfunded Lending Commitments
Our allowance for credit losses represents management’s current estimate of expected credit losses over the contractual terms of
our loans held for investment as of each balance sheet date. Expected recoveries of amounts previously charged off or expected
to be charged off are recognized within the allowance. We also estimate expected credit losses related to unfunded lending
commitments that are not unconditionally cancellable. The provision for losses on unfunded lending commitments is included
in the provision for credit losses in our consolidated statements of income and the related reserve for unfunded lending
commitments is included in other liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets. We provide additional information on the
methodologies and key assumptions used in determining our allowance for credit losses in “Part II—Item 8. Financial
Statements and Supplementary Data—Note 1—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.”
Table 28 presents changes in our allowance for credit losses and reserve for unfunded lending commitments for 2022 and 2021,
and details by portfolio segment for the provision for credit losses, charge-offs and recoveries.

The amount and timing of recoveries are impacted by our collection strategies, which are based on customer behavior and risk profile and include direct
customer communications, repossession of collateral, the periodic sale of charged off loans as well as additional strategies, such as litigation.
Primarily represents foreign currency translation adjustments and the initial allowance for purchased credit-deteriorated loans. The initial allowance for

Represents period-end 30+ day delinquent loans for our credit card and consumer banking loan portfolios, nonperforming loans for our commercial
banking loan portfolio and total loans held for investment for the total ratio.
Our allowance for credit losses increased by $1.8 billion to $13.2 billion as of December 31, 2022 compared to 2021 and our
allowance coverage ratio increased by 12 basis points to 4.24% as of December 31, 2022 compared to 2021.
The ratio of the allowance for credit losses divided by total nonperforming loans held for investment of $1.3 billion and $1.1
billion as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, decreased by 54% to 985% as of December 31, 2022 from 1,039% as
of December 31, 2021. Excluding the impact of the allowance for credit losses related to Domestic Card of $9.2 billion and
$8.0 billion as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, this ratio decreased by 12% to 303% as of December 31, 2022
from 315% as of December 31, 2021. The decrease in the ratio in both scenarios was driven by an increase in our
nonperforming loans partially offset by an increase in our allowance for credit losses driven by credit normalization and loan
growth.
LIQUIDITY RISK PROFILE
We have established liquidity practices that are intended to ensure that we have sufficient asset-based liquidity to cover our
funding requirements and maintain adequate reserves to withstand the potential impact of deposit attrition or diminished
liquidity in the funding markets. In addition to our cash and cash equivalents, we maintain reserves in the form of investment
securities and certain loans that are either readily-marketable or pledgeable.

Our liquidity reserves decreased by $9.7 billion to $106.6 billion as of December 31, 2022 from December 31, 2021 primarily
due to a decline in our investment securities that more than offset an increase in cash and cash equivalents. In addition to these
liquidity reserves, we maintain access to a diversified mix of funding sources as discussed in the “Borrowing Capacity” and
“Funding” sections below. See “Risk Management” for additional information on our management of liquidity risk.

Liquidity Coverage Ratio
We are subject to the LCR Rule as implemented by the Federal Reserve and OCC. The LCR Rule requires each of the
Company and the Bank to calculate its respective LCR daily. It also requires the Company to publicly disclose, on a quarterly
basis, its LCR, certain related quantitative liquidity metrics, and a qualitative discussion of its LCR. Our average LCR during
fourth quarter 2022 was 143%, which exceeded the LCR Rule requirement of 100%. The calculation and the underlying
components are based on our interpretations, expectations and assumptions of relevant regulations, as well as interpretations
provided by our regulators, and are subject to change based on changes to future regulations and interpretations. See “Part I—
Item 1. Business—Supervision and Regulation” for additional information.
Net Stable Funding Ratio
The NSFR rule requires the Company and the Bank to maintain an amount of available stable funding, which is a weighted
measure of a company’s funding sources over a one-year time horizon, calculated by applying standardized weightings to
equity and liabilities based on their expected stability, that is no less than a specified percentage of its required stable funding,
which is calculated by applying standardized weightings to assets, derivatives exposures and certain other items based on their
liquidity characteristics. As a Category III institution, the Company and the Bank are each required to maintain available stable
funding in an amount at least equal to 85% of its required stable funding. The NSFR rule includes a semi-annual public
disclosure requirement, with the first disclosure due 45 days after the end of the second quarter of 2023. The Company and the
Bank exceeded the NSFR rule requirement as of December 31, 2022.
Borrowing Capacity
We maintain a shelf registration with the SEC so that we may periodically offer and sell an indeterminate aggregate amount of
senior or subordinated debt securities, preferred stock, depositary shares, common stock, purchase contracts, warrants and units.
There is no limit under this shelf registration to the amount or number of such securities that we may offer and sell, subject to
market conditions. In addition, we also maintain a shelf registration associated with our credit card securitization trust that
allows us to periodically offer and sell up to $30 billion of securitized debt obligations and a shelf registration associated with
our auto loan securitization trusts that allows us to periodically offer and sell up to $25 billion of securitized debt obligations.
The registered amounts under these shelf registration statements are subject to continuing review and change in the future,
including as part of the routine renewal process.
In addition to our issuance capacity under the shelf registration statements, we also have access to FHLB advances, the Federal
Reserve Discount Window and the Fixed Income Clearing Corporation’s general collateral financing repurchase agreement
service. The ability to borrow utilizing these sources is based on membership status and the amount is dependent upon the
Bank’s ability to post collateral. As of December 31, 2022, we pledged both loans and securities to the FHLB to secure a
maximum borrowing capacity of $19.9 billion, of which $51 million was used. Our FHLB membership is supported by our
investment in FHLB stock of $15 million and $32 million as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, which was
determined in part based on our outstanding advances. As of December 31, 2022, we pledged loans to secure a borrowing
capacity of $19.7 billion under the Federal Reserve Discount Window. Our membership with the Federal Reserve is supported
by our investment in Federal Reserve stock, which totaled $1.3 billion as of both December 31, 2022 and 2021.

The FDIC limits the acceptance of brokered deposits to well-capitalized insured depository institutions and, with a waiver from
the FDIC, to adequately-capitalized institutions. The Bank was well-capitalized, as defined under the federal banking regulatory
guidelines, as of December 31, 2022 and 2021. See “Part I—Item 1. Business—Supervision and Regulation” for additional
information. We provide additional information on the composition of deposits in “Consolidated Balance Sheets Analysis—
Funding Sources Composition” and in “Part II—Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data—Note 8—Deposits and
Borrowings.”
Funding
Our primary source of funding comes from deposits, as they are a stable and relatively low cost source of funding. In addition
to deposits, we raise funding through the issuance of senior and subordinated notes and securitized debt obligations, federal
funds purchased, securities loaned or sold under agreements to repurchase and FHLB advances secured by certain portions of
our loan and securities portfolios. A key objective in our use of these markets is to maintain access to a diversified mix of
wholesale funding sources. See “Consolidated Balance Sheets Analysis—Funding Sources Composition” for additional
information on our primary sources of funding.
In the normal course of business, we enter into various contractual obligations that may require future cash payments that affect
our short-term and long-term liquidity and capital resource needs. Our future cash outflows primarily relate to deposits,
borrowings and operating leases. The actual timing and amounts of future cash payments may vary over time due to a number
of factors, such as early debt redemptions and changes in deposit balances.

As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, excluding intercompany balances, we held approximately $80.7 billion and $91.7 billion,
respectively, of uninsured deposits primarily comprised of checking accounts and savings deposits. We estimate our uninsured
amounts at the account level based on the same methodologies and assumptions used for our “Consolidated Reports of
Condition and Income” (FFIEC 031) filed with the Federal Banking Agencies. Table 32 presents, by contractual maturity, the
amount of time deposits in excess of the FDIC insurance limit of $250,000 as of December 31, 2022 and 2021. Our funding and
liquidity management activities factor into the expected maturities of these deposits.

We access the capital markets to meet our funding needs through the issuance of senior and subordinated notes, securitized debt
obligations and federal funds purchased and securities loaned or sold under agreements to repurchase. In addition, we have
access to short-term and long-term FHLB advances secured by certain investment securities, multifamily real estate loans and
commercial real estate loans.
Our short-term borrowings, which include those borrowings with an original contractual maturity of one year or less, consisting
of federal funds purchased, securities loaned or sold under agreements to repurchase and short-term FHLB advances, and do not
include the current portion of long-term debt, increased by $63 million to $883 million as of December 31, 2022 from
December 31, 2021 driven by an increase in repurchase agreements.
Our long-term funding, which primarily consists of securitized debt obligations and senior and subordinated notes, increased by
$5.6 billion to $47.8 billion as of December 31, 2022 from December 31, 2021 primarily driven by net issuances of senior
unsecured debt and net issuances in our auto and credit card securitization programs. We provide more information on our
securitization activity in “Part II—Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data—Note 5—Variable Interest Entities
and Securitizations” and on our borrowings in “Part II—Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data—Note 8—
Deposits and Borrowings.”

Credit Ratings
Our credit ratings impact our ability to access capital markets and our borrowing costs. Rating agencies assign their ratings
based on numerous factors, including liquidity, capital adequacy, asset quality, quality of earnings and the probability of
systemic support. Significant changes in these factors could result in different ratings.
Table 34 provides a summary of the credit ratings for the senior unsecured long-term debt of Capital One Financial Corporation
and CONA as of December 31, 2022 and 2021.

Other Commitments
Our primary involvement with leases is in the capacity as a lessee where we lease premises to support our business. The
majority of our leases are operating leases of office space, retail bank branches and cafés. Our operating leases expire at various
dates through 2071, although some have extension or termination options. As of both December 31, 2022 and 2021, we had
$1.7 billion in aggregate operating lease liabilities, of which $259 million will be due in the following 12 months. We provide
more information on our lease activity in “Part II—Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data—Note 7—Premises,
Equipment and Leases.”
We have purchase obligations that represent substantial agreements to purchase goods or receive services such as data
management, media and other software and third-party services that are enforceable and legally binding and specify significant
terms. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, we had $1.1 billion and $1.5 billion, respectively, in aggregate purchase obligation
liabilities.
As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, our total unfunded lending commitments were $409.3 billion and $414.5 billion,
respectively, primarily consisting of credit card lines and loan commitments to customers of both our Commercial Banking and
Consumer Banking businesses, as well as standby and commercial letters of credit. We generally manage the potential risk of
unfunded lending commitments by limiting the total amount of arrangements, monitoring the size and maturity structure of
these portfolios and applying the same credit standards for all of our credit activities. For additional information, refer to “Part
II—Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data—Note 18—Commitments, Contingencies, Guarantees and Others.”
We also enter into various contractual arrangements that may require future cash payments, including short-term obligations
such as trade payables, commitments to fund certain equity investments, obligations for pension and post-retirement benefit
plans, and representation and warranty reserves. These arrangements are discussed in more detail in “Part II—Item 8. Financial
Statements and Supplementary Data—Note 5—Variable Interest Entities and Securitizations,” “Part II—Item 8. Financial
Statements and Supplementary Data—Note 14—Employee Benefit Plans” and “Part II—Item 8. Financial Statements and
Supplementary Data—Note 18—Commitments, Contingencies, Guarantees and Others.”

MARKET RISK PROFILE
Our primary market risk exposures include interest rate risk, foreign exchange risk and commodity pricing risk. We are exposed
to market risk primarily from the following operations and activities:
•
•
•
•
Traditional banking activities of deposit gathering and lending;
Asset/liability management activities including the management of investment securities, short-term and long-term
borrowings and derivatives;
Foreign operations in the U.K. and Canada within our Credit Card business; and
Customer accommodation activities within our Commercial Banking business.
We have enterprise-wide risk management policies and limits, approved by our Board of Directors, which govern our market
risk management activities. Our objective is to manage our exposure to market risk in accordance with these policies and limits
based on prevailing market conditions and long-term expectations. We provide additional information below about our primary
sources of market risk, our market risk management strategies and the measures that we use to evaluate these exposures.
Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk represents exposure to financial instruments whose values vary with the level or volatility of interest rates. We
are exposed to interest rate risk primarily from the differences in the timing between the maturities or re-pricing of assets and
liabilities. We manage our interest rate risk primarily by entering into interest rate swaps and other derivative instruments which
could include caps, floors, options, futures and forward contracts.
We use various industry standard market risk measurement techniques and analyses to measure, assess and manage the impact
of changes in interest rates on our net interest income and our economic value of equity and changes in foreign exchange rates
on our non-dollar-denominated funding and non-dollar equity investments in foreign operations.
Net Interest Income Sensitivity
Our net interest income sensitivity measure estimates the impact on our projected 12-month baseline net interest income
resulting from movements in interest rates. In addition to our existing assets and liabilities, we incorporate expected future
business growth assumptions, such as loan and deposit growth and pricing, and plans for projected changes in our funding mix
in our baseline forecast. In measuring the sensitivity of interest rate movements on our projected net interest income, we assume
a hypothetical instantaneous parallel shift in the level of interest rates detailed in Table 35 below. At the current level of interest
rates, our net interest income is expected to increase in higher rate scenarios and decrease in lower rate scenarios. Our current
sensitivity to upward shocks has decreased as compared to December 31, 2021, mainly due to the increase in market interest
rates.
Economic Value of Equity Sensitivity
Our economic value of equity sensitivity measure estimates the impact on the net present value of our assets and liabilities,
including derivative exposures, resulting from movements in interest rates. Our economic value of equity sensitivity measure is
calculated based on our existing assets and liabilities, including derivatives, and does not incorporate business growth
assumptions or projected balance sheet changes. Key assumptions used in the calculation include projecting rate sensitive
prepayments for mortgage securities, loans and other assets, term structure modeling of interest rates, discount spreads, and
deposit volume and pricing assumptions. In measuring the sensitivity of interest rate movements on our economic value of
equity, we assume a hypothetical instantaneous parallel shift in the level of interest rates detailed in Table 35 below. Our
current economic value of equity sensitivity profile demonstrates that our economic value of equity decreases in higher interest
rate scenarios and increases in most lower interest rate scenarios. Our current economic value of equity sensitivity to upward
shocks in higher rate scenarios became more negative as compared to December 31, 2021, mainly due to the increase in long-
term interest rates.
97
Capital One Financial Corporation (COF)
Table 35 shows the estimated percentage impact on our projected baseline net interest income and economic value of equity
calculated under the methodology described above as of December 31, 2022 and 2021. In instances where an interest rate
scenario would result in a rate less than 0%, we assume a rate of 0% for that scenario. This assumption applies only to
jurisdictions that do not have negative policy rates. In jurisdictions that have negative policy rates, we do not floor interest rates
at 0%.

In addition to these industry standard measures, we also consider the potential impact of alternative interest rate scenarios, such
as stressed rate shocks as well as steepening and flattening yield curve scenarios in our internal interest rate risk management
decisions.
Limitations of Market Risk Measures
The interest rate risk models that we use in deriving these measures incorporate contractual information, internally-developed
assumptions and proprietary modeling methodologies, which project borrower and depositor behavior patterns in certain
interest rate environments. Other market inputs, such as interest rates, market prices and interest rate volatility, are also critical
components of our interest rate risk measures. We regularly evaluate, update and enhance these assumptions, models and
analytical tools as we believe appropriate to reflect our best assessment of the market environment and the expected behavior
patterns of our existing assets and liabilities.
There are inherent limitations in any methodology used to estimate the exposure to changes in market interest rates. The
sensitivity analysis described above contemplates only certain movements in interest rates and is performed at a particular point
in time based on our existing balance sheet and, in some cases, expected future business growth and funding mix assumptions.
The strategic actions that management may take to manage our balance sheet may differ significantly from our projections,
which could cause our actual earnings and economic value of equity sensitivities to differ substantially from the above
sensitivity analysis.
For further information on our interest rate exposures, see “Part II—Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data—
Note 9—Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.”
98
Capital One Financial Corporation (COF)
Foreign Exchange Risk
Foreign exchange risk represents exposure to changes in the values of current holdings and future cash flows denominated in
other currencies. We are exposed to foreign exchange risk primarily from the intercompany funding denominated in pound
sterling (“GBP”) and the Canadian dollar (“CAD”) that we provide to our businesses in the U.K. and Canada and net equity
investments in those businesses. We are also exposed to foreign exchange risk due to changes in the dollar-denominated value
of future earnings and cash flows from our foreign operations and from our Euro (“EUR”)-denominated borrowings.
Our non-dollar denominated intercompany funding and EUR-denominated borrowings expose our earnings to foreign exchange
transaction risk. We manage these transaction risks by using forward foreign currency derivatives and cross-currency swaps to
hedge our exposures. We measure our foreign exchange transaction risk exposures by applying a 1% U.S. dollar appreciation
shock against the value of the non-dollar denominated intercompany funding and EUR-denominated borrowings and their
related hedges, which shows the impact to our earnings from foreign exchange risk. Our nominal intercompany funding
outstanding was 785 million GBP and 520 million GBP as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and 1.7 billion CAD
and 5.0 billion CAD as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Our nominal EUR-denominated borrowings outstanding
were 1.3 billion EUR and 1.2 billion EUR as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Our non-dollar equity investments in foreign operations expose our balance sheet to translation risk in AOCI and our capital
ratios. We manage our AOCI exposure by entering into foreign currency derivatives designated as net investment hedges. We
measure these exposures by applying a 30% U.S. dollar appreciation shock, which we believe approximates a significant
adverse shock over a one-year time horizon, against the value of the equity invested in our foreign operations net of related net
investment hedges where applicable. Our gross equity exposures in our U.K. and Canadian operations were 1.9 billion GBP and
1.8 billion GBP as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively and 2.2 billion CAD and 1.9 billion CAD as of December 31,
2022 and 2021, respectively.
As a result of our derivative management activities, we believe our net exposure to foreign exchange risk is minimal.
Risk related to Customer Accommodation Derivatives
We offer interest rate, commodity and foreign currency derivatives as an accommodation to our customers within our
Commercial Banking business. We offset the majority of the market risk of these customer accommodation derivatives by
entering into offsetting derivatives transactions with other counterparties. We use value-at-risk (“VaR”) as the primary method
to measure the market risk in our customer accommodation derivative activities on a daily basis. VaR is a statistical risk
measure used to estimate the potential loss from movements observed in the recent market environment. We employ a historical
simulation approach using the most recent 500 business days and use a 99 percent confidence level and a holding period of one
business day. As a result of offsetting our customer exposures with other counterparties, we believe that our net exposure to
market risk in our customer accommodation derivatives is minimal. For further information on our risk related to customer
accommodation derivatives, see “Part II—Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data—Note 9—Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities.”
London Interbank Offered Rate Transition
On July 27, 2017, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”), the regulator for the administration of LIBOR, announced
that LIBOR would be phased out as an interest rate benchmark and that it will no longer compel panel banks to contribute
LIBOR data beyond December 31, 2021.
On March 5, 2021, the ICE Benchmark Administration (“IBA”), the administrator of LIBOR, confirmed its intention to cease
publication of the 1-week and 2-month U.S. dollar (“USD”) LIBOR settings immediately following the LIBOR publication on
December 31, 2021, and the remaining USD LIBOR tenors (overnight; 1, 3, 6, and 12 months) immediately following the
LIBOR publication on June 30, 2023. The continuation of USD LIBOR as a representative rate into mid-2023 will allow many
legacy USD LIBOR contracts to mature prior to cessation. Following IBA’s announcement, the FCA formally announced the
future permanent cessation and loss of representativeness of LIBOR benchmarks. The Federal Banking Agencies issued further
guidance that banking organizations should cease using USD LIBOR as a reference rate in new contracts as soon as practicable
and in any event by December 31, 2021. Consistent with the Federal Banking Agencies’ guidance, we ceased entering into new
contracts referencing USD LIBOR as a reference rate as of January 1, 2022, subject to certain permissible exceptions.
On December 16, 2022, the Federal Reserve Board adopted the final rule that implemented the LIBOR Act. The LIBOR Act
identified benchmark replacement rates based on SOFR for covered derivative transactions and cash transactions where a
99
Capital One Financial Corporation (COF)
practicable interest rate fallback method has not been established by June 30, 2023, including those in which a government-
sponsored enterprise is a party.
Our LIBOR transition effort remains focused on proactively transitioning exposures to an alternative rate or incorporating
transition language (“fallback language”) to provide a contractual mechanism for transitioning upon the LIBOR cessation. Our
fallback language aligns with the language recommended by the Alternative Reference Rates Committee (“ARRC”) in our
lending contracts and the International Swaps and Derivatives Association (“ISDA”) in our derivative contracts and agreements
to the greatest extent possible.
Our enterprise LIBOR transition program team, which has been working on this effort since 2018 and includes senior
management representatives from across the enterprise, provides monthly reporting to senior management and quarterly
reporting to our Board of Directors. The information provided to senior management and the Board of Directors includes
exposure reporting, updates on progress toward our goals to reduce our LIBOR exposure and relevant regulatory or industry
developments.
We continue to focus our LIBOR transition efforts on:
• monitoring established controls to prevent the origination of impermissible LIBOR indexed instruments
•
•
•
working with impacted customers and counterparties to remediate remaining LIBOR contracts and our central
counterparty clearinghouses and derivative clearinghouses for conversion of centrally cleared USD LIBOR products
engaging with our clients, industry working groups, and regulators
preparing to transition remaining contracts, including those with hardwired fallback language, operable legacy fallback
language and those covered under the scope of the LIBOR Act.
The majority of LIBOR contracts that we have transitioned to alternative rates have employed SOFR. In the U.S., SOFR has
been selected as the preferred alternative rate by the ARRC for certain U.S. dollar derivative and cash instruments. We have
proactively worked with customers and prepared our systems, models, valuation tools and processes to focus originations on
SOFR and other non-LIBOR rates and will continue to do so as needed. While the majority of our non-LIBOR transactions
have utilized SOFR, we have also employed credit sensitive alternative rates to LIBOR, to a limited extent, in response to
customer demand.
To track transition status, instruments are categorized based on whether they have fallback language (which may or may not
adhere to the ISDA and ARRC standards) or have no fallback language. The majority of the instruments maturing after June 30,
2023 are derivatives and commercial loans, which are summarized in the table below. Of these instruments, the majority
contain fallback language which adheres to the ISDA and ARRC standards. The LIBOR Act provides a means for transitioning
certain contracts that lack fallback language and which we are not able to otherwise remediate prior to LIBOR cessation. We
will continue to focus on reducing our LIBOR exposures through our transition efforts, normal operations and customer
interactions.

The following non-GAAP measures consist of TCE, tangible assets and metrics computed using these amounts, which include
tangible book value per common share, return on average tangible assets, return on average TCE and TCE ratio. We consider
these metrics to be key financial performance measures that management uses in assessing capital adequacy and the level of
returns generated. While these non-GAAP measures are widely used by investors, analysts and bank regulatory agencies to
assess the capital position of financial services companies, they may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures reported by
other companies. The following table presents reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to the applicable amounts
measured in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures should not be viewed as a substitute for reported results
determined in accordance with GAAP.

Capital One Financial Corporation (COF)
MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
The management of Capital One Financial Corporation (the “Company” or “Capital One”) is responsible for establishing and
maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting and for the assessment of the effectiveness of internal control
over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the
Company’s principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the
Company’s Board of Directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of
financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles.
Capital One’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance
of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the Company’s assets;
(ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that the Company’s receipts and expenditures are being made
only in accordance with authorizations of the Company’s management and directors; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance
regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have
a material effect on its financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also,
projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate
because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2022, based on the framework in “2013 Internal Control—Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of
Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”), commonly referred to as the “2013 Framework.”
Based on this assessment, management concluded that, as of December 31, 2022, the Company’s internal control over financial
reporting was effective based on the criteria established by COSO in the 2013 Framework. Additionally, based upon
management’s assessment, the Company determined that there were no material weaknesses in its internal control over
financial reporting as of December 31, 2022.
The effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, has been audited by
Ernst & Young LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their accompanying report, which expresses
an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of Capital One Financial Corporation:
Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We have audited Capital One Financial Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, based
on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the
Treadway Commission (2013 framework) (the COSO criteria). In our opinion, Capital One Financial Corporation (the
“Company”) maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022,
based on the COSO criteria.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States)
(PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheets of Capital One Financial Corporation as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the related
consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended December 31, 2022, and the related notes and our report dated February 24, 2023 expressed an
unqualified opinion thereon.
Basis for Opinion
The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its
assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management’s Report
on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control
over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be
independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the
audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all
material respects.
Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material
weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and
performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the
reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures
that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and
dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit
preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and
expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the
company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or
disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also,
projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate
because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of Capital One Financial Corporation:
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Capital One Financial Corporation (the “Company”) as of
December 31, 2022 and 2021, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in stockholders’
equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2022, and the related notes (collectively
referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its
cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2022, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States)
(PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, based on criteria established in
Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission
(2013 framework) and our report dated February 24, 2023 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.
Adoption of New Accounting Standard
As discussed in Note 1 and Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed its method for accounting for
credit losses in 2021.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are
required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the
audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to
error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial
statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included
examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included
evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matter
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that
was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that
are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective or complex judgments. The
communication of the critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken
as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit
matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Description of the
Matter
How We Addressed
the Matter in Our
Audit
Allowance for credit losses—Credit Card and Consumer Banking
On December 31, 2022, the Company’s allowance for the credit card and consumer banking portfolios
was $8.3 billion and $1.9 billion, respectively. As more fully described in Note 1 and Note 4 of the
consolidated financial statements, the allowance for credit losses (ACL or allowance) represents
management’s current estimate of expected credit losses over the contractual terms of the Company’s
held for investment (HFI) loan portfolios as of the balance sheet date and is comprised of two
elements. The first is ‘quantitative’ and involves the use of complex econometric statistical loss
forecasting models tailored to each portfolio based on, among other things, expected economic
conditions; historical loss, recovery, and paydown experience; account seasoning; and the value of
collateral underlying secured loans. The second is ‘qualitative’ and involves factors that represent
management’s judgment of the imprecision and risks inherent in the processes and assumptions used
in establishing the allowance for credit losses. Auditing the allowance for the credit card and consumer
banking portfolios was especially challenging and highly judgmental due to the significant complexity
of the loss forecasting models used in the quantitative element and the significant judgment required in
establishing the qualitative element. The qualitative element requires management to make significant
judgments regarding current and forward-looking conditions, internal and external factors, and
uncertainty as it relates to economic, model, or forecast risks, where not already captured in the
modeled results.
We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of the
internal controls over the ACL process, including, among others, controls over the development,
operation, and monitoring of loss forecasting models and management review controls over key
assumptions and qualitative judgments used in reviewing the final credit card and consumer banking
allowance results, including the economic forecast. Our tests of controls included observation of
certain of management’s quarterly ACL governance meetings, at which key management judgments,
qualitative adjustments, and final ACL results are subjected to critical challenge by management
groups independent of the group responsible for producing the ACL estimate.
We involved EY specialists in testing management’s credit card and consumer banking econometric
statistical loss forecasting models including evaluating model methodology, model performance and
testing key modeling assumptions as well as model governance and the economic forecast used by the
ACL models. We compared actual loss history with prior forecasts at a disaggregated loan portfolio
level to evaluate the reasonableness of management’s consumer forecasts (e.g., look-back analysis).
We performed sensitivity analysis on the ACL, charge-off and delinquency rates, and coverage ratios
used within each segment of the credit card and consumer banking allowance. Our audit response also
included specific substantive tests of management’s process to measure credit card and consumer
banking qualitative factors, including those related to the significant judgments made by management
outlined above. We compared calculations to alternative model scenarios and industry peer data and
compared qualitative factors to prior periods and prior economic cycles. We also evaluated if credit
card and consumer banking allowance qualitative factors were applied based on a comprehensive
framework and that all available information was considered, well-documented, and consistently
applied.

CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Company
Capital One Financial Corporation, a Delaware Corporation established in 1994 and headquartered in McLean, Virginia, is a
diversified financial services holding company with banking and non-banking subsidiaries. Capital One Financial Corporation
and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) offer a broad array of financial products and services to consumers, small businesses and
commercial clients through digital channels, branches, cafés and other distribution channels.
As of December 31, 2022, Capital One Financial Corporation’s principal operating subsidiary was Capital One, National
Association (“CONA”). On October 1, 2022, the Company completed the merger of Capital One Bank (USA), National
Association (“COBNA”), with and into CONA, with CONA as the surviving entity (the “Bank Merger”).
The Company is hereafter collectively referred to as “we,” “us” or “our.” References to the “Bank” shall mean and refer to (i)
CONA from and after the Bank Merger and (ii) CONA and COBNA collectively prior to the Bank Merger.
We also offer products outside of the United States of America (“U.S.”) principally through Capital One (Europe) plc
(“COEP”), an indirect subsidiary of CONA organized and located in the United Kingdom (“U.K.”), and through a branch of
CONA in Canada. Both COEP and our Canadian branch of CONA have the authority to provide credit card loans.
Our principal operations are organized for management reporting purposes into three major business segments, which are
defined primarily based on the products and services provided or the types of customer served: Credit Card, Consumer Banking
and Commercial Banking. We provide details on our business segments, the integration of recent acquisitions, if any, into our
business segments and the allocation methodologies and accounting policies used to derive our business segment results in
“Note 17—Business Segments and Revenue from Contracts with Customers.”
Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles in the U.S. (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial
statements and in the related disclosures. These estimates are based on information available as of the date of the consolidated
financial statements. While management makes its best judgments, actual amounts or results could differ from these estimates.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Capital One Financial Corporation and all other entities in which
we have a controlling financial interest. We determine whether we have a controlling financial interest in an entity by first
evaluating whether the entity is a voting interest entity (“VOE”) or a variable interest entity (“VIE”). All significant
intercompany account balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Voting Interest Entities
VOEs are entities that have sufficient equity and provide the equity investors voting rights that give them the power to make
significant decisions relating to the entity’s operations. Since a controlling financial interest in an entity is typically obtained
through ownership of a majority voting interest, we consolidate our majority-owned subsidiaries and other voting interest
entities in which we hold, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the voting rights or where we exercise control through other
contractual rights.
Investments in which we do not hold a controlling financial interest but have significant influence over the entity’s financial and
operating decisions are accounted for under the equity method. If we do not have significant influence, we measure equity
investments at fair value with changes in fair value recorded through net income, except those that do not have a readily
determinable fair value (for which a measurement alternative is applied). We report equity investments in other assets on our
consolidated balance sheets and include our share of income or loss and dividends from those investments in other non-interest
income in our consolidated statements of income.
123
Capital One Financial Corporation (COF)
CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Variable Interest Entities
VIEs are entities that, by design, either (i) lack sufficient equity to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional
subordinated financial support from other parties; or (ii) have equity investors that do not have the ability to make significant
decisions relating to the entity’s operations through voting rights, or do not have the obligation to absorb the expected losses, or
do not have the right to receive the residual returns of the entity. The entity that is deemed the primary beneficiary of a VIE is
required to consolidate the VIE. An entity is deemed to be the primary beneficiary of a VIE if that entity has both (i) the power
to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance; and (ii) the obligation to
absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE.
In determining whether we are the primary beneficiary of a VIE, we consider both qualitative and quantitative factors regarding
the nature, size and form of our involvement with the VIE, such as our role in establishing the VIE and our ongoing rights and
responsibilities; our economic interests, including debt and equity investments, servicing fees and other arrangements deemed
to be variable interests in the VIE; the design of the VIE, including the capitalization structure, subordination of interests,
payment priority, relative share of interests held across various classes within the VIE’s capital structure and the reasons why
the interests are held by us.
We perform on-going reassessments to evaluate whether changes in an entity’s capital structure or changes in the nature of our
involvement with the entity result in a change to the VIE designation or a change to our consolidation conclusion. See “Note 5
—Variable Interest Entities and Securitizations” for further details.
Balance Sheet Offsetting of Financial Assets and Liabilities
Derivative contracts that we execute bilaterally in the over-the-counter (“OTC”) market or are centrally cleared are generally
governed by enforceable master netting agreements where we generally have the right to offset exposure with the same
counterparty. Either counterparty can generally request to net settle all contracts through a single payment upon default on, or
termination of, any one contract. We elect to offset the derivative assets and liabilities under master netting agreements for
balance sheet presentation where a right of setoff exists. For derivative contracts entered into under master netting agreements
for which we have not been able to confirm the enforceability of the setoff rights, or those not subject to master netting
agreements, we do not offset our derivative positions for balance sheet presentation. See “Note 9—Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities” for more details.
We also elect to present securities purchased or sold under resale or repurchase agreements on a net basis when a legally
enforceable master netting agreement exists and other applicable criteria are met. Security collateral received from or pledged
to the counterparties are not eligible for netting and are presented gross in our consolidated balance sheet. See “Note 8—
Deposits and Borrowings” and “Note 9—Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” for more details.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash and due from banks, interest-bearing deposits and other short-term investments, all of
which, if applicable, have stated maturities of three months or less when acquired.
Securities Resale and Repurchase Agreements
Securities purchased under resale agreements and securities loaned or sold under agreements to repurchase, principally U.S.
government and agency obligations, are not accounted for as sales but as collateralized financing transactions and recorded at
the amounts at which the securities were acquired or sold, plus accrued interest. We continually monitor the market value of
these securities and deliver additional collateral to or obtain additional collateral from counterparties, as appropriate. See
“Note 8—Deposits and Borrowings”
Investment Securities
Our investment portfolio consists primarily of the following: U.S. Treasury securities; U.S. government-sponsored enterprise or
agency (“Agency”) and non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities (“RMBS”); Agency commercial mortgage-backed
securities (“CMBS”); and other securities. The accounting and measurement framework for our investment securities differs
depending on the security classification.
124
Capital One Financial Corporation (COF)
CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
We classify securities as available for sale or held to maturity based on our investment strategy and management’s assessment
of our intent and ability to hold the securities until maturity. We did not have any securities that were classified as held to
maturity as of December 31, 2022 and 2021.
We report securities available for sale on our consolidated balance sheets at fair value. The amortized cost of investment
securities reflects the amount for which the security was acquired, adjusted for accrued interest, amortization of premiums,
discounts, and net deferred fees and costs, any applicable fair value hedge accounting adjustments, collection of cash, and
charge-offs. Unrealized gains or losses are recorded, net of tax, as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income
(“AOCI”). Unamortized premiums, discounts and other basis adjustments for available for sale securities are generally
recognized in interest income over the contractual lives of the securities using the interest method. However, premiums on
certain callable investment securities are amortized to the earliest call date. We record purchases and sales of investment
securities available for sale on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses from the sale of debt securities are computed using
the first-in first-out method of identification, and are included in non-interest income in our consolidated statements of income.
We elect to present accrued interest for securities available for sale within interest receivable on our consolidated balance
sheets.
An individual debt security is impaired when the fair value of the security is less than its amortized cost. If we intend to sell an
available for sale security in an unrealized loss position or it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell the security
prior to recovery of its amortized cost basis, any allowance for credit losses is reversed through our provision for credit losses
and the difference between the amortized cost basis of the security and its fair value is recognized in our consolidated
statements of income.
For impaired debt securities that we have both the intent and ability to hold, the securities are evaluated to determine if a credit
loss exists. The allowance for credit losses on our investment securities is recognized through our provision for credit losses and
limited by the unrealized losses of a security measured as the difference between the security’s amortized cost and fair value.
See further discussion below under the “Allowance for Credit Losses - Available for Sale Investment Securities” section of this
Note.
Our investment portfolio also includes certain debt securities that, at the time of purchase, had experienced a more-than-
insignificant deterioration in credit quality since origination. Such debt securities are accounted for in accordance with
accounting guidance for purchased financial assets with credit deterioration and are herein referred to as purchased credit-
deteriorated (“PCD”) securities.
PCD securities require the recognition of an allowance for credit losses at the time of acquisition. The allowance for credit
losses is not recognized in provision for credit losses. Instead, the purchase price and the initial allowance collectively represent
the amortized cost basis of a PCD security. Any non-credit discount or premium at the date of acquisition is amortized into
interest income over the remaining life of the security. Subsequent to the date of purchase, we remeasure the allowance for
credit losses on the amortized cost basis using the same policies as for other debt securities available for sale and changes are
recognized through our provision for credit losses. See further discussion below under the “Allowance for Credit Losses -
Available for Sale Investment Securities” section of this Note.
We charge off any portion of an investment security that we determine is uncollectible. The amortized cost basis, excluding
accrued interest, is charged off through the allowance for credit losses. Accrued interest is charged off as a reduction to interest
income. Recoveries of previously charged off principal amounts are recognized in our provision for credit losses when
received.

Capital One Financial Corporation (COF)
CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Allowance for Credit Losses - Available for Sale Investment Securities
We maintain an allowance for credit losses that represents management’s current estimate of expected credit losses over the
contractual terms of our investment securities classified as available for sale. When an investment security available for sale is
impaired due to credit factors, we recognize a provision for credit losses in our consolidated statements of income and an
allowance for credit losses on our consolidated balance sheets. Credit losses recognized in the allowance for credit losses are
limited to the amount by which the investment security’s amortized cost basis exceeds its fair value. Investment securities in
unrealized gain positions do not have an allowance for credit losses as the investment security could be sold at its fair value to
prevent realization of any credit losses. We exclude accrued interest from the fair value and amortized cost basis of an
investment security for purposes of measuring impairment. Charge-offs of uncollectible amounts of investment securities are
deducted from the allowance for credit losses.
For certain of our securities available for sale, we have determined that there is no risk of impairment due to credit factors.
These investment securities include high quality debt instruments that are issued and guaranteed by the United States
government and its agencies, certain government-sponsored enterprises, and certain foreign sovereign governments or
supranational organizations. Management performs periodic assessments to reevaluate this conclusion by considering any
changes in historical losses, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts.
We evaluate impairment on a quarterly basis at the individual security level and determine whether any portion of the decline in
fair value is due to a credit loss. We make this determination through the use of quantitative and qualitative analyses. Our
qualitative analysis includes factors such as the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost, any changes in the
security’s credit rating, past defaults or delayed payments, and adverse conditions impacting the security or issuer. A credit loss
exists to the extent that management does not expect to recover the amortized cost basis.
For investment securities which require further assessment, we perform a quantitative analysis using a discounted cash flow
methodology and compare the present value of expected future cash flows from the security available for sale to the security’s
amortized cost basis. Projected future cash flows reflect management’s best estimate and are based on our understanding of past
events, current conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts, and are discounted by the security’s effective interest rate
adjusted for prepayments. The allowance for credit losses for investment securities reflects the difference by which the
amortized cost basis exceeds the present value of future cash flows and is limited to the amount by which the security’s
amortized cost exceeds its fair value. See “Note 2—Investment Securities” for additional information.
Loans
Our loan portfolio consists of loans held for investment, including loans held in our consolidated securitization trusts, and loans
held for sale and is divided into three portfolio segments: credit card, consumer banking and commercial banking loans. Credit
card loans consist of domestic and international credit card loans. Consumer banking loans consist of auto and retail banking
loans. Commercial banking loans consist of commercial and multifamily real estate loans as well as commercial and industrial
loans.
Loan Classification
We classify loans as held for investment or held for sale based on our investment strategy and management’s intent and ability
with regard to the loans, which may change over time. The accounting and measurement framework for loans differs depending
on the loan classification, whether we elect the fair value option, whether the loans are originated or purchased and whether
purchased loans are considered to have experienced a more-than-insignificant deterioration in credit quality since origination.
The presentation within the consolidated statements of cash flows is based on management’s intent at acquisition or origination.
Cash flows related to loans that are acquired or originated with the intent to hold for investment are included in cash flows from
investing activities on our consolidated statements of cash flows. Cash flows related to loans that are acquired or originated
with the intent to sell are included in cash flows from operating activities on our consolidated statements of cash flows.
Loans Held for Investment
Loans that we have the ability and intent to hold for the foreseeable future and loans associated with consolidated securitization
transactions are classified as held for investment. Loans classified as held for investment, except for credit card loans, are
reported at their amortized cost basis, excluding accrued interest. For these loans, we elect to present accrued interest within
126
Capital One Financial Corporation (COF)
CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
interest receivable on our consolidated balance sheets. For credit card loans classified as held for investment, earned finance
charges and fees are included in either loans held for investment (if they have been billed to the customer) or interest receivable
(if they have not yet been billed to the customer).
Interest income is recognized on performing loans on an accrual basis. We defer loan origination fees and direct loan
origination costs on originated loans, premiums and discounts on purchased loans and loan commitment fees. We recognize
these amounts in interest income as yield adjustments over the life of the loan and/or commitment period using the interest
method. For credit card loans, loan origination fees and direct loan origination costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over a
12-month period. The amortized cost of loans held for investment is subject to our allowance for credit losses methodology
described below under the “Allowance for Credit Losses - Loans Held for Investment” section of this Note.
Loans Held for Sale
Loans that we intend to sell or for which we do not have the ability and intent to hold for the foreseeable future are classified as
held for sale. Multifamily commercial real estate loans originated with the intent to sell to government-sponsored enterprises
are accounted for under the fair value option. We elect the fair value option on these loans as part of our management of interest
rate risk along with the corresponding forward sale commitments. Loan origination fees and direct loan origination costs are
recognized as incurred and are reported in other non-interest income in the consolidated statements of income. Interest income
is calculated based on the loan's stated rate of interest and is reported in interest income in the consolidated statements of
income. Fair value adjustments are recorded in other non-interest income in the consolidated statements of income.
All other loans classified as held for sale are recorded at the lower of cost or fair value. Loan origination fees, direct loan
origination costs and any discounts and premiums are deferred until the loan is sold and are then recognized as part of the total
gain or loss on sale. The fair value of loans held for sale is determined on an aggregate portfolio basis for each loan type. Fair
value adjustments are recorded in other non-interest income in the consolidated statements of income.
If a loan is transferred from held for investment to held for sale, then on the transfer date, any decline in fair value related to
credit is recorded as a charge-off and any remaining allowance for credit losses is reversed through our provision for credit
losses. The loan is then reclassified to held for sale at its amortized cost at the date of the transfer. A valuation allowance is
established, if needed, such that the loan held for sale is recorded at the lower of cost or fair value. Subsequent to transfer, we
report write-downs or recoveries in fair value up to the carrying value at the date of transfer and realized gains or losses on
loans held for sale in our consolidated statements of income as a component of other non-interest income. We calculate the gain
or loss on loan sales as the difference between the proceeds received and the carrying value of the loans sold, net of the fair
value of any interests retained.
Loans Acquired
All purchased loans, including loans transferred in a business combination, are initially recorded at fair value, which includes
consideration of expected future losses, as of the date of the acquisition. To determine the fair value of loans at acquisition, we
estimate discounted contractual cash flows due using an observable market rate of interest, when available, adjusted for factors
that a market participant would consider in determining fair value. In determining fair value, contractual cash flows are adjusted
to include prepayment estimates based upon historical payment trends, forecasted default rates and loss severities and other
relevant factors. The difference between the fair value and the contractual cash flows is recorded as a loan premium or discount,
which may relate to either credit or non-credit factors, at acquisition.
We account for purchased loans under the accounting guidance for purchased financial assets with credit deterioration when, at
the time of purchase, the loans have experienced a more-than-insignificant deterioration in credit quality since origination. We
refer to these loans which are accounted for under accounting guidance for purchased financial assets with more-than-
insignificant deterioration in credit quality since origination as “PCD loans.”
We recognize an allowance for credit losses on purchased loans that have not experienced a more-than-insignificant
deterioration in credit quality since origination at the time of purchase through earnings in a manner that is consistent with
originated loans. The policies relating to the allowance for credit losses on loans is described below in the “Allowance for
Credit Losses - Loans Held for Investment” section of this Note.

Loan Modifications and Restructurings
As part of our loss mitigation efforts, we may provide modifications to a borrower experiencing financial difficulty to improve
long-term collectability of the loan and to avoid the need for foreclosure or repossession of collateral, if any. Our loan
modifications typically include short-term payment deferrals, an extension of the loan term, a reduction in the interest rate, a
reduction in the loan balance, or a combination of these modifications. A loan modification in which a concession is granted to
a borrower experiencing financial difficulty is accounted for and reported as a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”). See “Note 3
—Loans” for additional information on our loan modifications and restructurings, including those in response to the COVID-19
pandemic.
Delinquent and Nonperforming Loans
The entire balance of a loan is considered contractually delinquent if the minimum required payment is not received by the first
statement cycle date equal to or following the due date specified on the customer’s billing statement. Delinquency is reported
on loans that are 30 or more days past due. Interest and fees continue to accrue on past due loans until the date the loan is
placed on nonaccrual status, if applicable. For loan modifications, delinquency and nonaccrual status are reported in accordance
with the revised terms of the loans. We generally place loans on nonaccrual status when we believe the collectability of interest
and principal is not reasonably assured.
Nonperforming loans generally include loans that have been placed on nonaccrual status. Loans classified as held for sale are
excluded from nonperforming classification consideration.
Our policies for classifying loans as nonperforming, by loan category, are as follows:
•
•
•
Credit card loans: As permitted by regulatory guidance issued by the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council
(“FFIEC”), our policy is generally to exempt credit card loans from being classified as nonperforming, as these loans are
generally charged off in the period the account becomes 180 days past due. Consistent with industry conventions, we
generally continue to accrue interest and fees on delinquent credit card loans until the loans are charged off.
Consumer banking loans: We classify consumer banking loans as nonperforming when we determine that the
collectability of all interest and principal on the loan is not reasonably assured, generally when the loan becomes 90 days
past due.
Commercial banking loans: We classify commercial banking loans as nonperforming as of the date we determine that the
collectability of all interest and principal on the loan is not reasonably assured.
• Modified loans and troubled debt restructurings: Modified loans, including TDRs, that are current at the time of the
restructuring remain in accrual status if there is demonstrated performance prior to the restructuring and continued
performance under the modified terms is expected. Otherwise, the modified loan is classified as nonperforming.
Interest and fees accrued but not collected at the date a loan is placed on nonaccrual status are reversed against earnings. In
addition, the amortization of deferred loan fees, costs, premiums and discounts is suspended. Interest and fee income are
subsequently recognized only upon the receipt of cash payments. However, if there is doubt regarding the ultimate collectability
of loan principal, cash received is generally applied against the principal balance of the loan. Nonaccrual loans are generally
returned to accrual status when all principal and interest is current and repayment of the remaining contractual principal and
interest is reasonably assured, or when the loan is both well-secured and in the process of collection and collectability is no
longer doubtful.

Charge-Offs
We charge off loans when we determine that the loan is uncollectible. The amortized cost basis, excluding accrued interest, is
charged off as a reduction to the allowance for credit losses based on the time frames presented below. Accrued interest on
loans other than credit card loans determined to be uncollectible is reversed as a reduction of interest income when the loan is
classified as nonperforming. For credit card loans, accrued interest is charged off simultaneously with the charge off of other
components of amortized cost and as a reduction of interest income. When received, recoveries of previously charged off
amounts are recorded as an increase to the allowance for credit losses (see the “Allowance for Credit Losses - Loans Held for
Investment” section of this Note for information on how we account for expected recoveries). Costs to recover charged off
loans are recorded as collection expense and included in our consolidated statements of income as a component of other non-
interest expense as incurred. Our charge-off time frames by loan type are presented below.
•
•
Credit card loans: We generally charge off credit card loans in the period the account becomes 180 days past due. We
charge off delinquent credit card loans for which revolving privileges have been revoked as part of loan workout when
the account becomes 120 days past due. Credit card loans in bankruptcy are generally charged off by the end of the
month following 30 days after the receipt of a complete bankruptcy notification from the bankruptcy court. Credit card
loans of deceased account holders are generally charged off 5 days after receipt of notification.
Consumer banking loans: We generally charge off consumer banking loans at the earlier of the date when the account is
a specified number of days past due or upon repossession of the underlying collateral. Our charge-off period for auto
loans is 120 days past due. Small business banking loans generally charge off at 120 days past due or based on the date
the amortized cost basis is deemed uncollectible. Auto loans that have not been previously charged off where the
borrower has filed for bankruptcy and the loan has not been reaffirmed charge off in the period that the loan is 60 days
from the bankruptcy notification date, regardless of delinquency status. Auto loans that have not been previously charged
off and have been discharged under Chapter 7 bankruptcy are charged off at the end of the month in which the
bankruptcy discharge occurs. Remaining consumer loans generally are charged off within 40 days of receipt of
notification from the bankruptcy court. Consumer loans of deceased account holders are charged off by the end of the
month following 60 days of receipt of notification.
•
Commercial banking loans: We charge off commercial loans in the period we determine that the amortized cost basis is
uncollectible.
Allowance for Credit Losses - Loans Held for Investment
We maintain an allowance for credit losses (“allowance”) that represents management’s current estimate of expected credit
losses over the contractual terms of our loans held for investment. We measure the allowance on a quarterly basis through
consideration of past events, including historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts.
We measure current expected credit losses over the contractual terms of our loans. The contractual terms are adjusted for
expected prepayments but are not extended for renewals or extensions, except when an extension or renewal arises from a
borrower option that is not unconditionally cancellable or through a TDR that is reasonably expected to occur.
We aggregate loans sharing similar risk characteristics into pools for purposes of measuring expected credit losses. Pools are
reassessed periodically to confirm that all loans within each pool continue to share similar risk characteristics. Expected credit
losses for loans that do not share similar risk characteristics with other financial assets are measured individually.
Expected recoveries of amounts previously charged off or expected to be charged off are recognized within the allowance, with
a corresponding reduction to our provision for credit losses. At times expected recoveries may result in a negative allowance.
We limit the allowance recovery expectations to amounts previously charged off and expected to be charged off. Charge-offs of
uncollectible amounts result in a reduction to the allowance and recoveries of previously charged off amounts result in an
increase to the allowance.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
When developing an estimate of expected credit losses, we use both quantitative and qualitative methods in considering all
available information relevant to assessing collectability. This may include internal information, external information, or a
combination of both relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Significant judgment
is applied to the development and duration of reasonable and supportable forecasts used in our estimation of lifetime losses. We
estimate expected credit losses over the duration of those forecasts and then revert, on a rational and systematic basis, to
historical losses at each relevant loss component of the estimate. Expected losses for contractual terms extending beyond the
reasonable and supportable forecast and reversion periods are based on those historical losses.
Management will consider and may qualitatively adjust for conditions, changes and trends in loan portfolios that may not be
captured in modeled results. These adjustments are referred to as qualitative factors and represent management’s judgment of
the imprecision and risks inherent in the processes and assumptions used in establishing the allowance for credit losses.
Management’s judgment may involve an assessment of current and forward-looking conditions including but not limited to
changes in lending policies and procedures, nature and volume of the portfolio, external factors, and uncertainty as it relates to
economic, model or forecast risks, where not already captured in the modeled results.
Expected credit losses for collateral-dependent loans are based on the fair value of the underlying collateral. When we intend to
liquidate the collateral, the fair value of the collateral is adjusted for expected costs to sell. A loan is deemed to be a collateral-
dependent loan when (i) we determine foreclosure or repossession of the underlying collateral is probable, or (ii) foreclosure or
repossession is not probable, but the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and we expect repayment to be provided
substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral. The allowance for a collateral-dependent loan reflects the difference
between the loan’s amortized cost basis and the fair value (less selling costs, where applicable) of the loan’s underlying
collateral.
Our credit card and consumer banking loan portfolios consist of smaller-balance, homogeneous loans. The consumer banking
loan portfolio is divided into two primary portfolio segments: auto loans and retail banking loans. We assess our credit card and
consumer banking loan portfolios based on common risk characteristics, such as origination year, contract type, interest rate,
borrower credit score and geography. The commercial banking loan portfolio is primarily composed of larger-balance, non-
homogeneous loans. These loans are subject to reviews that result in internal risk ratings. In assessing the risk rating of a
particular commercial banking loan, among the factors we consider are the financial condition of the borrower, geography,
collateral performance, historical loss experience and industry-specific information that management believes is relevant in
determining and measuring expected credit losses. Subjective assessment and interpretation are involved. Emphasizing one
factor over another or considering additional factors could impact the risk rating assigned to that commercial banking loan.
For consumer banking and commercial banking loans, the contractual period typically does not include renewals or extensions
because the renewals and extensions are generally not at the borrower’s exclusive option to exercise. The undrawn credit
exposure associated with our credit card loans is unconditionally cancellable. For this reason, expected credit losses are
measured based only on the drawn balance at each quarterly measurement date and not on the undrawn exposure. Because
credit card loans do not have a defined contractual life, management estimates both the volume and application of payments to
determine a contractual life of the drawn balance at the measurement date over which expected credit losses are developed for
credit card loans.
With the exception of credit card loans, we have made a policy election to not measure an allowance on accrued interest for
loans held for investment because we reverse uncollectible accrued interest in a timely manner. See the “Delinquent and
Nonperforming Loans” and “Charge-Offs - Loans” sections of this Note for information on what we consider timely. For credit
card loans, we do not make this election, as we reserve for uncollectible accrued interest relating to credit card loans in the
allowance.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The allowance related to credit card and consumer banking loans assessed on a pooled basis is based on a modeled calculation,
which is supplemented by management judgment as described above. Because of the homogeneous nature of our consumer loan
portfolios, the allowance is based on the aggregated portfolio segment evaluations. The allowance is established through a
process that begins with estimates of historical losses in each pool based upon various statistical analyses, with adjustments for
current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts of conditions, which includes expected economic conditions. Loss
forecast models are utilized to estimate expected credit losses and consider several portfolio indicators including, but not
limited to, expected economic conditions, historical loss experience, account seasoning, the value of collateral underlying
secured loans, estimated foreclosures or defaults based on observable trends, delinquencies, bankruptcy filings, unemployment,
borrower credit scores and general business trends. Management also considers an evaluation of overall portfolio credit quality
based on indicators such as changes in our credit evaluation, underwriting and collection management policies, the effect of
other external factors such as competition and legal and regulatory requirements, general economic conditions and business
trends, and uncertainties in forecasting and modeling techniques used in estimating our allowance.
The allowance related to commercial banking loans assessed on a pooled basis is based on our historical loss experience for
loans with similar risk characteristics and consideration of the current credit quality of the portfolio, which is supplemented by
management judgment as described above. These are adjusted for current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts
of conditions likely to cause future losses which vary from historical levels. We apply internal risk ratings to commercial
banking loans, which we use to assess credit quality and derive a total loss estimate based on an estimated probability of default
(“default rate”) and loss given default (“loss severity”). Management may also apply judgment to adjust the loss factors derived,
taking into consideration both quantitative and qualitative factors, including general economic conditions, industry-specific and
geographic trends, portfolio concentrations, trends in internal credit quality indicators, and current and past underwriting
standards that have occurred but are not yet reflected in the historical data underlying our loss estimates.
The allowance related to smaller-balance homogeneous credit card and consumer banking loans whose terms have been
modified in a TDR is calculated on a pool basis using historical loss experience, adjusted for current conditions and reasonable
and supportable forecasts of conditions likely to cause future losses which vary from historical levels for the respective class of
assets. The allowance related to consumer banking loans that are assessed at a loan-level is determined based on key
considerations that include the borrower’s overall financial condition, resources and payment history, prospects for support
from financially responsible guarantors, and when applicable, the estimated realizable value of any collateral. The allowance
related to commercial banking loans that are assessed at a loan-level is generally determined in accordance with our policy for
estimating expected credit losses for collateral-dependent loans as described above.
Off-balance sheet credit exposures
In addition to the allowance, we also measure expected credit losses related to unfunded lending commitments that are not
unconditionally cancellable in our Commercial Banking business. This reserve is measured using the same measurement
objectives as the allowance for loans held for investment and is recorded within other liabilities on our consolidated balance
sheets. These commitments are segregated by risk according to our internal risk rating scale, which we use to assess credit
quality and derive an expected credit loss estimate. We assess these risk classifications, taking into consideration both
quantitative and qualitative factors, including historical loss experience, adjusted for current conditions and reasonable and
supportable forecasts of conditions likely to cause future losses which vary from historical levels, and utilization assumptions to
estimate the reserve for unfunded lending commitments. Expected credit losses are not measured on unfunded lending
commitments that are unconditionally cancellable, including all of our unfunded credit card and consumer banking lending
commitments and certain of our unfunded commercial banking lending commitments.
Determining the appropriateness of the allowance and the reserve for unfunded lending commitments is complex and requires
judgment by management about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Subsequent evaluations of the loan portfolio,
in light of the factors then prevailing, may result in significant changes in the reserve for unfunded lending commitments in
future periods. See “Note 4—Allowance for Credit Losses and Reserve for Unfunded Lending Commitments” for additional
information.

Securitization of Loans
Our loan securitization activities primarily involve the securitization of credit card and auto loans, which provides a source of
funding for us. See “Note 5—Variable Interest Entities and Securitizations” for additional details. Loan securitization involves
the transfer of a pool of loan receivables from our portfolio to a trust. The trust then sells undivided interests in the pool of loan
receivables to third-party investors through the issuance of debt securities and transfers the proceeds from the debt issuance to
us as consideration for the loan receivables transferred. The debt securities are collateralized by the loan receivables transferred
from our portfolio. We remove loans from our consolidated balance sheets if securitizations qualify as sales to unconsolidated
VIEs, recognize assets retained and liabilities assumed at fair value and record a gain or loss on the transferred loans.
Alternatively, if the transfer does not qualify as a sale but instead is considered a secured borrowing, the assets will remain on
our consolidated balance sheets with an offsetting liability recognized for the amount of proceeds received.
Premises, Equipment and Leases
Premises and Equipment
Premises and equipment, including leasehold improvements, are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization.
Land is carried at cost. We capitalize direct costs incurred during the application development stage of internally developed
software projects. Depreciation and amortization expenses are calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated
useful lives of the assets. Useful lives for premises and equipment are estimated as follows:

Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred and gains or losses upon disposition are recognized in our
consolidated statements of income as realized. See “Note 7—Premises, Equipment and Leases” for additional information.
Leases
Lease classification is determined at inception for all lease transactions with an initial term greater than one year. Operating
leases are included as right-of-use (“ROU”) assets within other assets, and operating lease liabilities are classified as other
liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets. Finance leases are included in premises and equipment, and other borrowings on
our consolidated balance sheets. Our operating lease expense is included in occupancy and equipment within non-interest
expense in our consolidated statements of income. Lease expense for minimum lease payments are recognized on a straight-line
basis over the lease term. See “Note 7—Premises, Equipment and Leases” for additional information.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Goodwill represents the excess of the fair value of the consideration transferred, plus the fair value of any non-controlling
interests in the acquiree, over the fair value of the net assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date and is
assigned to one or more reporting units at acquisition. A reporting unit is defined as an operating segment, or a business unit
that is one level below an operating segment. We have four reporting units: Credit Card, Auto Finance, Other Consumer
Banking and Commercial Banking. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level annually or
more frequently if adverse circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the carrying amount of a reporting unit
exceeds its fair value. These indicators could include a sustained, significant decline in the Company’s stock price, a decline in
expected future cash flows, significant disposition activity, a significant adverse change in the economic or business
environment, and the testing for recoverability of a significant asset group, among others.
Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized on either an accelerated or straight-line basis over their estimated useful
lives and are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the assets
may not be recoverable. See “Note 6—Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” for additional information.
132
Capital One Financial Corporation (COF)
CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Mortgage Servicing Rights
Mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) are initially recorded at fair value when mortgage loans are sold or securitized in the
secondary market and the right to service these loans is retained for a fee. Commercial MSRs are subsequently accounted for
under the amortization method. We evaluate for impairment as of each reporting date and recognize any impairment in other
non-interest income. See “Note 6—Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” for additional information.
Foreclosed Property and Repossessed Assets
Foreclosed property and repossessed assets obtained through our lending activities typically include commercial real estate or
personal property, such as automobiles, and are recorded at net realizable value. For foreclosed property and repossessed assets,
we generally reclassify the loan to repossessed assets upon repossession of the property in satisfaction of the loan. Net
realizable value is the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral less estimated selling costs and is based on appraisals,
when available. Subsequent to initial recognition, foreclosed property and repossessed assets are recorded at the lower of our
initial cost basis or net realizable value, which is routinely monitored and updated. Any changes in net realizable value and
gains or losses realized from disposition of the property are recorded in other non-interest expense. See “Note 16—Fair Value
Measurement” for details.
Restricted Equity Investments
We have investments in Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) stock and in Federal Reserve Bank stock. These investments,
which are included in other assets on our consolidated balance sheets, are not marketable, are carried at cost, and are reviewed
for impairment if there is any indicator of impairment.
Litigation
We establish reserves for litigation-related matters that arise from the ordinary course of our business activities when it is
probable that a loss associated with a claim or proceeding has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably
estimated. Professional service costs, including fees for attorneys and experts, expected to be incurred in connection with a loss
contingency are expensed as services are provided. See “Note 18—Commitments, Contingencies, Guarantees and Others” for
additional information.
Customer Rewards Reserve
We offer products, primarily credit cards, which include programs that allow members to earn rewards based on account
activity that can be redeemed for cash (primarily in the form of statement credits), gift cards, travel, or covering eligible
charges. The amount of reward that a customer earns varies based on the terms and conditions of the rewards program and
product. When rewards are earned by a customer, rewards expense is generally recorded as an offset to interchange income,
with a corresponding increase to the customer rewards reserve. The customer rewards reserve is computed based on the
estimated future cost of earned rewards that are expected to be redeemed and is reduced as rewards are redeemed. In estimating
the customer rewards reserve, we consider historical redemption and spending behavior, as well as the terms and conditions of
the current rewards programs, among other factors. Our customer rewards reserve assumes the vast majority of all rewards
earned will eventually be redeemed.
Revenue Recognition
Interest Income and Fees
Interest income and fees on loans and investment securities are recognized based on the contractual provisions of the underlying
arrangements.
Loan origination fees, direct loan origination costs, premiums and discounts on loans held for investment are deferred and
generally amortized into interest income as yield adjustments over the contractual life and/or commitment period using the
interest method. Costs deferred include, among other things, incentives paid to our network of auto dealers for loan referrals. In
certain circumstances, we elect to factor prepayment estimates into the calculation of the constant effective yield necessary to
apply the interest method. Prepayment estimates are based on historical prepayment data, existing and forecasted interest rates,
133

CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
and economic data. For credit card loans, loan origination fees and direct loan origination costs are amortized on a straight-line
basis over a 12-month period.
Unamortized premiums, discounts and other basis adjustments on investment securities are generally recognized in interest
income over the contractual lives of the securities using the interest method. However, premiums for certain callable investment
securities are amortized to the earliest call date.
Finance charges and fees on credit card loans are recorded in revenue when earned and presented on our consolidated balance
sheets within either loan receivables (if they have been billed to the customer) or interest receivable (if they have not yet been
billed to the customer). Annual membership fees are classified as service charges and other customer-related fees in our
consolidated statements of income and are deferred and amortized into income over 12 months on a straight-line basis.
Interchange Income
Interchange income generally represents fees for standing ready to authorize and providing settlement on credit and debit card
transactions processed through the MasterCard® (“MasterCard”) and Visa® (“Visa”) interchange networks. The levels and
structure of interchange rates set by MasterCard and Visa can vary based on cardholder purchase volumes, among other factors.
We recognize interchange income upon settlement. See “Note 17—Business Segments and Revenue from Contracts with
Customers” for additional details.
Card Partnership Agreements
We have contractual agreements with certain retailers and other partners to provide lending and other services to a mutual
customer base. We primarily issue private-label and cobrand credit card loans to these customers over the terms of the
partnership agreements.
Certain partners assist in or perform marketing activities on our behalf and promote our products and services to their
customers. As compensation for providing these services, we often pay royalties, bounties or other special bonuses to these
partners. Our payments to partners are generally recorded as reductions of revenue or as marketing expenses, depending on
their nature. Our credit card partnership agreements may also provide for profit or revenue sharing payments which are
presented as a reduction of the related revenue line item(s) when owed to the partner.
When a partner agrees to share a portion of the credit losses associated with the partnership, we evaluate the contractual
provisions for the loss share payments as well as applicable accounting guidance to determine whether to present the sharing of
losses on a gross or net basis in our consolidated financial statements. When loss sharing amounts due from partners are
presented on a net basis, they are recorded as a reduction to our provision for credit losses in our consolidated statements of
income and reduce the charge-off amounts that we report. The allowance for credit losses attributable to these portfolios is also
reduced by the expected reimbursements from these partners for loss sharing amounts. See “Note 4—Allowance for Credit
Losses and Reserve for Unfunded Lending Commitments” for additional information related to our loss sharing arrangements.
Collaborative Arrangements
A collaborative arrangement is a contractual arrangement that involves a joint operating activity between two or more parties
that are active participants in the activity. These parties are exposed to significant risks and rewards based upon the economic
success of the joint operating activity. We assess each of our partnership agreements with profit, revenue or loss sharing
payments to determine if a collaborative arrangement exists and, if so, how revenue generated from third parties, costs incurred
and transactions between participants in the collaborative arrangement should be accounted for and reported on our
consolidated financial statements.
One partnership agreement met the definition of a collaborative arrangement as of December 31, 2021 and 2020. This
agreement was amended in the first quarter of 2022. While we continue to share a fixed percentage of revenues consisting of
finance charges and late fees with the partner, and the partner is required to reimburse us for a fixed percentage of credit losses
incurred, the amended agreement does not meet the definition of a collaborative arrangement. Revenues and losses related to
the partner’s credit card program and partnership agreement are reported on a net basis in our consolidated financial statements.
Revenue sharing amounts attributable to the partner are recorded as an offset against total net revenue in our consolidated
statements of income. Interest income was reduced by $1.0 billion and $1.1 billion in the years ended December 31, 2021 and
134
Capital One Financial Corporation (COF)

2020, respectively, for amounts earned by the partner during the years this agreement met the definition of a collaborative
arrangement. The impact of all of our loss sharing arrangements that are presented on a net basis is included in “Note 4—
Allowance for Credit Losses and Reserve for Unfunded Lending Commitments.”
Stock-Based Compensation
We are authorized to issue stock–based compensation to employees and directors in various forms, primarily as restricted stock
units (“RSUs”), performance share units (“PSUs”) and stock options. In addition, we also issue cash-settled RSUs which are
not counted against the common shares reserved for issuance or available for issuance because they are settled in cash.
For awards settled in shares, we generally recognize compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the award’s requisite
service period based on the fair value of the award at the grant date. If an award settled in shares contains a performance
condition with graded vesting, we recognize compensation expense using the accelerated attribution method. Restricted stock
units that are cash-settled are accounted for as liability awards which results in quarterly expense fluctuations based on changes
in our stock price through the date that the awards are settled. Awards to participants that are eligible for retirement or become
eligible during the vesting period are expensed immediately or over the time period between the grant date and when the
participant becomes retirement eligible, respectively. Stock-based compensation expense is included in salaries and associate
benefits in the consolidated statements of income.
For RSUs and performance share units, the fair value of stock-based compensation used in determining compensation expense
will generally equal the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. Stock-based compensation expense for
equity classified stock options is based on the grant date fair value, which is estimated using a Black-Scholes option pricing
model. Certain share-settled awards have discretionary vesting conditions which result in the remeasurement of these awards at
fair value each reporting period and the potential for compensation expense to fluctuate with changes in our stock price. See
“Note 13—Stock-Based Compensation Plans” for additional details.
Marketing Expenses
Marketing expense includes the cost of our various promotional efforts to attract and retain customers such as advertising,
promotional materials, and certain customer incentives, including spend-based bonuses. We expense marketing costs as
incurred.
Income Taxes
We recognize the current and deferred tax consequences of all transactions that have been recognized in the financial statements
using the provisions of the enacted tax laws. Current income tax expense represents our estimated taxes to be paid or refunded
for the current period and includes income tax expense related to our uncertain tax positions, as well as tax-related interest and
penalties. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of
assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are
expected to reverse. We record valuation allowances to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to
be realized. We record the effect of remeasuring deferred tax assets and liabilities due to a change in tax rates or laws as a
component of income tax expense related to continuing operations for the period in which the change is enacted. We
subsequently release income tax effects stranded in AOCI using a portfolio approach. Income tax benefits are recognized when,
based on their technical merits, they are more likely than not to be sustained upon examination. The amount recognized is the
largest amount of benefit that is more likely than not to be realized upon settlement. See “Note 15—Income Taxes” for
additional details.
Earnings Per Share
Earnings per share is calculated and reported under the “two-class” method. The “two-class” method is an earnings allocation
method under which earnings per share is calculated for each class of common stock and participating security considering both
dividends declared or accumulated and participation rights in undistributed earnings as if all such earnings had been distributed
during the period. We have unvested share-based payment awards which have a right to receive non-forfeitable dividends,
which are deemed to be participating securities.
135
Capital One Financial Corporation (COF)
CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
We calculate basic earnings per share by dividing net income, after deducting dividends on preferred stock and participating
securities as well as undistributed earnings allocated to participating securities, by the average number of common shares
outstanding during the period, net of any treasury shares. We calculate diluted earnings per share in a similar manner after
consideration of the potential dilutive effect of common stock equivalents on the average number of common shares
outstanding during the period. Common stock equivalents include stock options, restricted stock units, and performance share
units. Common stock equivalents are calculated based upon the treasury stock method using an average market price of
common shares during the period. Dilution is not considered when a net loss is reported. Common stock equivalents that have
an antidilutive effect are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share. See “Note 12—Earnings Per Common
Share” for additional details.
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
All derivative financial instruments, whether designated in a qualifying hedge accounting relationship or not, are reported at
their fair value on our consolidated balance sheets as either assets or liabilities. See “Note 9—Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities” for additional details.
Fair Value
Fair value, also referred to as an exit price, is defined as the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a
liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. See “Note 16—Fair Value
Measurement” for additional information.
Accounting for Acquisitions
We account for business combinations under the acquisition method of accounting. Under the acquisition method, tangible and
intangible identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree are recorded at fair
value as of the acquisition date, with limited exceptions. Transaction costs and costs to restructure the acquired company are
expensed as incurred. Goodwill is recognized as the excess of the acquisition price over the estimated fair value of the
identifiable net assets acquired. Likewise, if the fair value of the net assets acquired is greater than the acquisition price, a
bargain purchase gain is recognized and recorded in other non-interest income.
If the acquired set of activities and assets do not meet the accounting definition of a business, the transaction is accounted for as
an asset acquisition. In an asset acquisition, the assets acquired are recorded at the purchase price plus any transaction costs
incurred and no goodwill is recognized.

Maturities and Yields of Investment Securities
The table below summarizes, as of December 31, 2022, the fair value of our investment securities by major security type and
contractual maturity as well as the total fair value, amortized cost and weighted-average yields of our investment securities by
contractual maturity. Because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay certain obligations, the expected maturities of our
securities are likely to differ from the scheduled contractual maturities presented below. The weighted-average yield below
represents the effective yield for the investment securities and is calculated based on the amortized cost of each security.

NOTE 3—LOANS
Our loan portfolio consists of loans held for investment, including loans held in our consolidated trusts, and loans held for sale.
We further divide our loans held for investment into three portfolio segments: credit card, consumer banking and commercial
banking. Credit card loans consist of domestic and international credit card loans. Consumer banking loans consist of auto and
retail banking loans. Commercial banking loans consist of commercial and multifamily real estate as well as commercial and
industrial loans. The information presented in the tables in this note excludes loans held for sale, which are carried at either fair
value (if we elect the fair value option) or at the lower of cost or fair value.
Accrued interest receivable of $1.9 billion and $1.2 billion as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, is not included in
the tables in this note. The table below presents the composition and aging analysis of our loans held for investment portfolio as
of December 31, 2022 and 2021. The delinquency aging includes all past due loans, both performing and nonperforming.

Credit Quality Indicators
We closely monitor economic conditions and loan performance trends to assess and manage our exposure to credit risk. We
discuss these risks and our credit quality indicator for each portfolio segment below.
Credit Card
Our credit card loan portfolio is highly diversified across millions of accounts and numerous geographies without significant
individual exposure. We therefore generally manage credit risk based on portfolios with common risk characteristics. The risk
in our credit card loan portfolio correlates to broad economic trends, such as unemployment rates and the U.S. Real Gross
Domestic Product (“GDP”) Rate, as well as consumers’ financial condition, all of which can have a material effect on credit
performance. The key indicator we assess in monitoring the credit quality and risk of our credit card loan portfolio is
delinquency trends, including an analysis of loan migration between delinquency categories over time.
The table below presents our credit card portfolio by delinquency status as of December 31, 2022 and 2021.

Consumer Banking
Our consumer banking loan portfolio consists of auto and retail banking loans. Similar to our credit card loan portfolio, the risk
in our consumer banking loan portfolio correlates to broad economic trends as well as consumers’ financial condition, all of
which can have a material effect on credit performance. The key indicator we monitor when assessing the credit quality and risk
of our auto loan portfolio is borrower credit scores as they measure the creditworthiness of borrowers. Delinquency trends are
the key indicator we assess in monitoring the credit quality and risk of our retail banking loan portfolio.
The table below presents our consumer banking portfolio of loans held for investment by credit quality indicator as of
December 31, 2022 and 2021. We present our auto loan portfolio by FICO scores at origination and our retail banking loan
portfolio by delinquency status, which includes all past due loans, both performing and nonperforming.

Commercial Banking
The key credit quality indicator for our commercial loan portfolios is our internal risk ratings. We assign internal risk ratings to
loans based on relevant information about the ability of the borrowers to repay their debt. In determining the risk rating of a
particular loan, some of the factors considered are the borrower’s current financial condition, historical and projected future
credit performance, prospects for support from financially responsible guarantors, the estimated realizable value of any
collateral and current economic trends. The scale based on our internal risk rating system is as follows:
•
•
•
Noncriticized: Loans that have not been designated as criticized, frequently referred to as “pass” loans.
Criticized performing: Loans in which the financial condition of the obligor is stressed, affecting earnings, cash flows or
collateral values. The borrower currently has adequate capacity to meet near-term obligations; however, the stress, left
unabated, may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects at some future date.
Criticized nonperforming: Loans that are not adequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the
obligor or the collateral pledged, if any. Loans classified as criticized nonperforming have a well-defined weakness, or
weaknesses, which jeopardize the full repayment of the debt. These loans are characterized by the distinct possibility that
we will sustain a credit loss if the deficiencies are not corrected and are generally placed on nonaccrual status.
We use our internal risk rating system for regulatory reporting, determining the frequency of credit exposure reviews, and
evaluating and determining the allowance for credit losses. Generally, loans that are designated as criticized performing and
criticized nonperforming are reviewed quarterly by management to determine if they are appropriately classified/rated and
whether any impairment exists. Noncriticized loans are also generally reviewed, at least annually, to determine the appropriate
risk rating. In addition, we evaluate the risk rating during the renewal process of any loan or if a loan becomes past due.
The following table presents our commercial banking portfolio of loans held for investment by internal risk ratings as of
December 31, 2022 and 2021. The internal risk rating status includes all past due loans, both performing and nonperforming.

Troubled Debt Restructurings
As part of our loss mitigation efforts, we may provide short-term (one to twelve months) or long-term (greater than twelve
months) modifications to a borrower experiencing financial difficulty to improve long-term collectability of the loan and to
avoid the need for repossession or foreclosure of collateral.
We consider the impact of all loan modifications, whether or not that modification is classified as a troubled debt restructuring
(“TDR”), when estimating the credit quality of our loan portfolio and establishing allowance levels. For our Commercial
Banking customers, loan modifications are also considered in the assignment of an internal risk rating.
Additional guidance issued by the Federal Banking Agencies and contained in the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic
Security Act (the “CARES Act”) provided banking organizations with TDR relief for loan modifications to certain qualifying
borrowers impacted by the Coronavirus Disease of 2019 (“COVID-19”) pandemic. The guidance in the CARES Act expired
on January 1, 2022, at which time we also concurrently ceased applying the additional guidance issued by the Federal Banking
Agencies. We adopted Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2022-02 as of January 1, 2023, which eliminates the
accounting guidance for TDRs.
Total recorded TDRs were $2.7 billion and $1.6 billion as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. TDRs classified as
performing in our credit card and consumer banking loan portfolios totaled $1.5 billion and $1.1 billion as of December 31,
2022 and 2021, respectively. TDRs classified as performing in our commercial banking loan portfolio totaled $595 million and
$192 million as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Commitments to lend additional funds on loans modified in
TDRs totaled $219 million and $168 million as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
The following tables present the major modification types, amortized cost amounts and financial effects of loans modified in a
TDR during the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020.

included in the table above, the total percentage of TDR activity may not add up to 100%. Some loans may receive more than one type of modification.
Due to multiple modification types granted to some troubled borrowers, percentages may total more than 100% for certain loan types.

Subsequent Defaults of Completed TDR Modifications
The following table presents the type, number and amortized cost of loans modified in a TDR that experienced a default during
the period and had completed a modification event in the twelve months prior to the default. A default occurs if the loan is
either 90 days or more delinquent, has been charged off as of the end of the period presented or has been reclassified from
accrual to nonaccrual status.

We pledged loan collateral of $9.8 billion and $10.3 billion to secure a portion of our FHLB borrowing capacity of $19.9 billion
and $19.7 billion as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. We also pledged loan collateral of $34.1 billion and $26.5
billion to secure our Federal Reserve Discount Window borrowing capacity of $19.7 billion and $19.6 billion as of December
31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. In addition to loans pledged, we have securitized a portion of our credit card and auto loan
portfolios. See “Note 5—Variable Interest Entities and Securitizations” for additional information.
Loans Held for Sale
Our total loans held for sale was $203 million and $5.9 billion as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. We originated
for sale $8.6 billion, $9.1 billion and $10.0 billion of commercial multifamily real estate loans in 2022, 2021 and 2020,
respectively, and typically retain servicing rights upon the sale of these loans.
Revolving Loans Converted to Term Loans
For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, we converted $441 million and $223 million of revolving loans to term
loans, respectively, primarily in our domestic credit card and commercial banking loan portfolios.

NOTE 4—ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES AND RESERVE FOR UNFUNDED LENDING COMMITMENTS
Our allowance for credit losses represents management’s current estimate of expected credit losses over the contractual terms of
our loans held for investment as of each balance sheet date. Expected recoveries of amounts previously charged off or expected
to be charged off are recognized within the allowance. Significant judgment is applied in our estimation of lifetime credit
losses. When developing an estimate of expected credit losses, we use both quantitative and qualitative methods in considering
all available information relevant to assessing collectability. This may include internal information, external information or a
combination of both relating to past events, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Our estimate of
expected credit losses includes a reasonable and supportable forecast period of one year and then reverts over a one-year period
to historical losses at each relevant loss component of the estimate. Management will consider and may qualitatively adjust for
conditions, changes and trends in loan portfolios that may not be captured in modeled results. These adjustments are referred to
as qualitative factors and represent management’s judgment of the imprecision and risks inherent in the processes and
assumptions used in establishing the allowance for credit losses.
For credit card loans, accrued interest is charged off simultaneously with the charge off of other components of amortized cost
as a reduction of revenue. Total net revenue was reduced by $946 million, $629 million and $1.1 billion in 2022, 2021 and
2020, respectively, for finance charge and fees charged-off as uncollectible.
We have unfunded lending commitments in our Commercial Banking business that are not unconditionally cancellable by us
and for which we estimate expected credit losses in establishing a reserve. This reserve is measured using the same
measurement objectives as the allowance for loans held for investment. We build or release the reserve for unfunded lending
commitments through the provision for credit losses in our consolidated statements of income, and the related reserve for
unfunded lending commitments is included in other liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets.
See “Note 1—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” for further discussion of the methodology and policy for
determining our allowance for credit losses for each of our loan portfolio segments, as well as information on our reserve for
unfunded lending commitments.
Allowance for Credit Losses and Reserve for Unfunded Lending Commitments Activity
The table below summarizes changes in the allowance for credit losses and reserve for unfunded lending commitments by
portfolio segment for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020. Our allowance for credit losses increased by $1.8
billion to $13.2 billion as of December 31, 2022 from 2021.

Credit Card Partnership Loss Sharing Arrangements
We have certain credit card partnership agreements that are presented within our consolidated financial statements on a net
basis, in which our partner agrees to share a portion of the credit losses on the underlying loan portfolio. The expected
reimbursements from these partners are netted against our allowance for credit losses. Our methodology for estimating
reimbursements is consistent with the methodology we use to estimate the allowance for credit losses on our credit card loan
receivables. These expected reimbursements result in reductions to net charge-offs and the provision for credit losses. See
“Note 1—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” for further discussion of our credit card partnership agreements.
The table below summarizes the changes in the estimated reimbursements from these partners for the years ended December 31,
2022, 2021 and 2020.

NOTE 5—VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES AND SECURITIZATIONS
In the normal course of business, we enter into various types of transactions with entities that are considered to be variable
interest entities (“VIEs”). Our primary involvement with VIEs is related to our securitization transactions in which we transfer
assets to securitization trusts. We primarily securitize credit card and auto loans, which provide a source of funding for us and
enable us to transfer a certain portion of the economic risk of the loans or related debt securities to third parties.
The entity that has a controlling financial interest in a VIE is referred to as the primary beneficiary and is required to
consolidate the VIE. The majority of the VIEs in which we are involved have been consolidated in our financial statements.
Summary of Consolidated and Unconsolidated VIEs
The assets of our consolidated VIEs primarily consist of cash, loan receivables and the related allowance for credit losses,
which we report on our consolidated balance sheets under restricted cash for securitization investors, loans held in consolidated
trusts and allowance for credit losses, respectively. The assets of a particular VIE are the primary source of funds to settle its
obligations. Creditors of these VIEs typically do not have recourse to our general credit. Liabilities primarily consist of debt
securities issued by the VIEs, which we report under securitized debt obligations on our consolidated balance sheets. For
unconsolidated VIEs, we present the carrying amount of assets and liabilities reflected on our consolidated balance sheets and
our maximum exposure to loss. Our maximum exposure to loss is estimated based on the unlikely event that all of the assets in
the VIEs become worthless and we are required to meet the maximum amount of any remaining funding obligations.
The tables below present a summary of VIEs in which we had continuing involvement or held a significant variable interest,
aggregated based on VIEs with similar characteristics as of December 31, 2022 and 2021. We separately present information
for consolidated and unconsolidated VIEs.

Excludes insignificant VIEs from previously exited businesses.
Represents the carrying amount of assets and liabilities of the VIE, which includes the seller’s interest and repurchased notes held by other related parties.
In certain investment structures, we consolidate a VIE which in turn holds as its primary asset an investment in an unconsolidated VIE. In these instances,
we disclose the carrying amount of assets and liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets as unconsolidated VIEs to avoid duplicating our exposure, as
the unconsolidated VIEs are generally the operating entities generating the exposure. The carrying amount of assets and liabilities included in the
unconsolidated VIE columns above related to these investment structures were $2.3 billion of assets and $616 million of liabilities as of December 31,
2022, and $2.2 billion of assets and $568 million of liabilities as of December 31, 2021.
Primarily consists of variable interests in companies that promote renewable energy sources and other equity method investments.
Securitization-Related VIEs
In a securitization transaction, assets are transferred to a trust, which generally meets the definition of a VIE. We engage in
securitization activities as an issuer and an investor. Our primary securitization issuance activity includes credit card and auto
securitizations, conducted through securitization trusts which we consolidate. Our continuing involvement in these
securitization transactions mainly consists of acting as the primary servicer and holding certain retained interests.
In our multifamily agency business, we originate multifamily commercial real estate loans and transfer them to government-
sponsored enterprises (“GSEs”) who may, in turn, securitize them. We retain the related MSRs and service the transferred loans
pursuant to the guidelines set forth by the GSEs. As an investor, we hold primarily RMBS, CMBS, and ABS in our investment
securities portfolio, which represent variable interests in the respective securitization trusts from which those securities were
issued. We do not consolidate the securitization trusts employed in these transactions as we do not have the power to direct the
activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of these securitization trusts. We exclude these VIEs from
the tables within this note because we do not consider our continuing involvement with these VIEs to be significant as we either
solely invest in securities issued by the VIE and were not involved in the design of the VIE or no transfers have occurred
between the VIE and ourselves. Our maximum exposure to loss as a result of our involvement with these VIEs is the carrying
value of the MSRs and investment securities on our consolidated balance sheets as well as our contractual obligations under
loss sharing arrangements. See “Note 18—Commitments, Contingencies, Guarantees and Others” for information about the loss
sharing agreements, “Note 6—Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” for information related to our MSRs associated with
these securitizations and “Note 2—Investment Securities” for more information on the securities held in our investment
securities portfolio. In addition, where we have certain lending arrangements in the normal course of business with entities that
could be VIEs, we have also excluded these VIEs from the tables presented in this note. See “Note 3—Loans” for additional
information regarding our lending arrangements in the normal course of business.

Credit Card Securitizations
We securitize a portion of our credit card loans which provides a source of funding for us. Credit card securitizations involve
the transfer of credit card receivables to securitization trusts. These trusts then issue debt securities collateralized by the
transferred receivables to third-party investors. We hold certain retained interests in our credit card securitizations and continue
to service the receivables in these trusts. We consolidate these trusts because we are deemed to be the primary beneficiary as we
have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the trusts, and the right to
receive benefits or the obligation to absorb losses that could potentially be significant to the trusts.
Auto Securitizations
Similar to our credit card securitizations, we securitize a portion of our auto loans which provides a source of funding for us.
Auto securitizations involve the transfer of auto loans to securitization trusts. These trusts then issue debt securities
collateralized by the transferred loans to third-party investors. We hold certain retained interests and continue to service the
loans in these trusts. We consolidate these trusts because we are deemed to be the primary beneficiary as we have the power to
direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the trusts, and the right to receive benefits or the
obligation to absorb losses that could potentially be significant to the trusts.
Other VIEs
Affordable Housing Entities
As part of our community reinvestment initiatives, we invest in private investment funds that make equity investments in
multifamily affordable housing properties. We receive affordable housing tax credits for these investments. The activities of
these entities are financed with a combination of invested equity capital and debt. We account for certain investments in
qualified affordable housing projects using the proportional amortization method if certain criteria are met. The proportional
amortization method amortizes the cost of the investment over the period in which the investor expects to receive tax credits
and other tax benefits, and the resulting amortization is recognized as a component of income tax expense attributable to
continuing operations. For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, we recognized amortization of $637 million and $633
million, respectively, and tax credits of $664 million and $644 million, respectively, associated with these investments within
income tax provision. The carrying value of our equity investments in these qualified affordable housing projects was
$4.9 billion and $4.7 billion as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. We are periodically required to provide additional
financial or other support during the period of the investments. Our liability for these unfunded commitments was $1.8 billion
and $1.7 billion as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 respectively, and is largely expected to be paid from 2023 to 2025.

For those investment funds considered to be VIEs, we are not required to consolidate them if we do not have the power to direct
the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of those entities. We record our interests in these
unconsolidated VIEs in loans held for investment, other assets and other liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets. Our
maximum exposure to these entities is limited to our variable interests in the entities which consisted of assets of approximately
$4.9 billion and $4.8 billion as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 respectively. The creditors of the VIEs have no recourse to our
general credit and we do not provide additional financial or other support other than during the period that we are contractually
required to provide it. The total assets of the unconsolidated VIE investment funds were approximately $12.5 billion and
$11.9 billion as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Entities that Provide Capital to Low-Income and Rural Communities
We hold variable interests in entities (“Investor Entities”) that invest in community development entities (“CDEs”) that provide
debt financing to businesses and non-profit entities in low-income and rural communities. Variable interests in the CDEs held
by the consolidated Investor Entities are also our variable interests. The activities of the Investor Entities are financed with a
combination of invested equity capital and debt. The activities of the CDEs are financed solely with invested equity capital. We
receive federal and state tax credits for these investments. We consolidate the VIEs in which we have the power to direct the
activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and where we have the obligation to absorb losses or
right to receive benefits that could be potentially significant to the VIE. We consolidate other investments and CDEs that are
not considered to be VIEs, but where we hold a controlling financial interest. The assets of the VIEs that we consolidated,
which totaled approximately $2.3 billion and $2.1 billion as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, are reflected on our
consolidated balance sheets in cash, loans held for investment, and other assets. The liabilities are reflected in other liabilities.
The creditors of the VIEs have no recourse to our general credit. We have not provided additional financial or other support
other than during the period that we are contractually required to provide it.
Other
We hold variable interests in other VIEs, including companies that promote renewable energy sources and other equity method
investments. We are not required to consolidate these VIEs because we do not have the power to direct the activities that most
significantly impact their economic performance. Our maximum exposure to these VIEs is limited to the investments on our
consolidated balance sheets of $337 million and $383 million as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The creditors of
the other VIEs have no recourse to our general credit. We have not provided additional financial or other support other than
during the period that we are contractually required to provide it.

Represents foreign currency translation adjustments and measurement period adjustments on prior period acquisitions.
The goodwill impairment test is performed as of October 1 of each year. An impairment of a reporting unit’s goodwill is
determined based on the amount by which the reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, limited to the amount of
goodwill allocated to the reporting unit.
The fair value of reporting units is calculated using a discounted cash flow methodology, a form of the income approach. The
calculation uses projected cash flows based on each reporting unit’s internal forecast and uses the perpetuity growth method to
calculate terminal values. These cash flows and terminal values are then discounted using appropriate discount rates, which are
largely based on our external cost of equity with adjustments for risk inherent in each reporting unit. The carrying amount for a
reporting unit is the sum of its respective capital requirements, goodwill and other intangibles balances. Capital is allocated
based on each reporting unit’s specific regulatory capital requirements, economic capital requirements, and underlying risks.
Consolidated stockholder’s equity in excess of the sum of all reporting unit’s capital requirements that is not identified for
future capital needs, such as dividends, share buybacks, or other strategic initiatives, is allocated to the reporting units and the
Other category and assumed distributed to equity holders in future periods. Our discounted cash flow analysis requires
management to make judgments about future loan and deposit growth, revenue growth, credit losses, and capital rates. The
reasonableness of our fair value calculation is assessed by reference to a market-based approach using comparable market
multiples and recent market transactions where available.

Intangible Assets
In connection with our acquisitions, we recorded intangible assets that include PCCR intangibles, sponsorship, customer and
merchant relationships, partnership, trade names, and other customer contract intangibles. At acquisition, the PCCR intangibles
reflect the estimated value of existing credit card holder relationships. There was a $10 million impairment of intangible assets
in 2022. There were no impairments of intangible assets in 2021 and 2020.
Intangible assets are typically amortized over their respective estimated useful lives on either an accelerated or straight-line
basis. The following table summarizes the actual amortization expense recorded for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021
and 2020 and the estimated future amortization expense for intangible assets as of December 31, 2022:

Leases
Our primary involvement with leases is in the capacity as a lessee where we lease premises to support our business. A majority
of our leases are operating leases of office space, retail bank branches and cafés. For real estate leases, we have elected to
account for the lease and non-lease components together as a single lease component. Our operating leases expire at various
dates through 2071, and many of them require variable lease payments by us, of property taxes, insurance premiums, common
area maintenance and other costs. Certain of these leases also have extension or termination options, and we assess the
likelihood of exercising such options. If it is reasonably certain that we will exercise the options, then we include the impact in
the measurement of our right-of-use assets and lease liabilities.
Our right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for operating leases are included in other assets and other liabilities on our
consolidated balance sheets. As most of our operating leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing
rate in determining the present value of future lease payments. Our operating lease expense is included in occupancy and
equipment within non-interest expense in our consolidated statements of income. Total operating lease expense consists of
operating lease cost, which is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term, and variable lease cost, which is
recognized based on actual amounts incurred. We also sublease certain premises, and sublease income is included in other non-
interest income in our consolidated statements of income.
The following tables present information about our operating lease portfolio and the related lease costs as of and for the years
ended December 31, 2022 and 2021.

NOTE 8—DEPOSITS AND BORROWINGS
Our deposits, which include checking accounts, money market deposits, negotiable order of withdrawals, savings deposits and
time deposits, represent our largest source of funding for our assets and operations. We also use a variety of other funding
sources including short-term borrowings, senior and subordinated notes, securitized debt obligations and other borrowings.
Securitized debt obligations are presented separately on our consolidated balance sheets, as they represent obligations of
consolidated securitization trusts, while federal funds purchased and securities loaned or sold under agreements to repurchase,
senior and subordinated notes and other borrowings, including FHLB advances, are included in other debt on our consolidated
balance sheets.
Our total short-term borrowings generally consist of federal funds purchased, securities loaned or sold under agreements to
repurchase and FHLB advances. Our long-term debt consists of borrowings with an original contractual maturity of greater than
one year. The following tables summarize the components of our deposits, short-term borrowings and long-term debt as of
December 31, 2022 and 2021. The carrying value presented below for these borrowings includes unamortized debt premiums
and discounts, net of debt issuance costs and fair value hedge accounting adjustments.

NOTE 9—DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
Use of Derivatives and Accounting for Derivatives
We regularly enter into derivative transactions to support our overall risk management activities. Our primary market risks stem
from the impact on our earnings and economic value of equity due to changes in interest rates and, to a lesser extent, changes in
foreign exchange rates. We manage our interest rate sensitivity by employing several techniques, which include changing the
duration and re-pricing characteristics of various assets and liabilities by using interest rate derivatives. We also use foreign
currency derivatives to limit our earnings and capital exposures to foreign exchange risk by hedging exposures denominated in
foreign currencies. We primarily use interest rate and foreign currency swaps to hedge, but we may also use a variety of other
derivative instruments, including caps, floors, options, futures and forward contracts, to manage our interest rate and foreign
exchange risks. We designate these risk management derivatives as either qualifying accounting hedges or free-standing
derivatives. Qualifying accounting hedges are further designated as fair value hedges, cash flow hedges or net investment
hedges. Free-standing derivatives are economic hedges that do not qualify for hedge accounting.
We also offer interest rate, commodity, foreign currency derivatives and other contracts as an accommodation to our customers
within our Commercial Banking business. We enter into these derivatives with our customers primarily to help them manage
their interest rate risks, hedge their energy and other commodities exposures, and manage foreign currency fluctuations. We
offset the majority of the market risk exposure of our customer accommodation derivatives through derivative transactions with
other counterparties.
See below for additional information on our use of derivatives and how we account for them:
•
•
•
•
Fair Value Hedges: We designate derivatives as fair value hedges when they are used to manage our exposure to
changes in the fair value of certain financial assets and liabilities, which fluctuate in value as a result of movements in
interest rates. Changes in the fair value of derivatives designated as fair value hedges are presented in the same line item
in our consolidated statements of income as the earnings effect of the hedged items. Our fair value hedges primarily
consist of interest rate swaps that are intended to modify our exposure to interest rate risk on various fixed-rate financial
assets and liabilities.
Cash Flow Hedges: We designate derivatives as cash flow hedges when they are used to manage our exposure to
variability in cash flows related to forecasted transactions. Changes in the fair value of derivatives designated as cash
flow hedges are recorded as a component of AOCI. Those amounts are reclassified into earnings in the same period
during which the hedged forecasted transactions impact earnings and presented in the same line item in our consolidated
statements of income as the earnings effect of the hedged items. Our cash flow hedges use interest rate swaps and floors
that are intended to hedge the variability in interest receipts or interest payments on some of our variable-rate financial
assets or liabilities. We also enter into foreign currency forward contracts to hedge our exposure to variability in cash
flows related to intercompany borrowings denominated in foreign currencies.
Net Investment Hedges: We use net investment hedges to manage the foreign currency exposure related to our net
investments in foreign operations that have functional currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Changes in the fair value of
net investment hedges are recorded in the translation adjustment component of AOCI, offsetting the translation gain or
loss from those foreign operations. We execute net investment hedges using foreign currency forward contracts to hedge
the translation exposure of the net investment in our foreign operations under the forward method.
Free-Standing Derivatives: Our free-standing derivatives primarily consist of our customer accommodation derivatives
and other economic hedges. The customer accommodation derivatives and the related offsetting contracts are mainly
interest rate, commodity and foreign currency contracts. The other free-standing derivatives are primarily used to
economically hedge the risk of changes in the fair value of our commercial mortgage loan origination and purchase
commitments as well as other interests held. Changes in the fair value of free-standing derivatives are recorded in
earnings as a component of other non-interest income.

Derivatives Counterparty Credit Risk
Counterparty Types
Derivative instruments contain an element of credit risk that stems from the potential failure of a counterparty to perform
according to the terms of the contract, including making payments due upon maturity of certain derivative instruments. We
execute our derivative contracts primarily in OTC markets. We also execute interest rate and commodity futures in the
exchange-traded derivative markets. Our OTC derivatives consist of both trades cleared through central counterparty
clearinghouses (“CCPs”) and uncleared bilateral contracts. The Chicago Mercantile Exchange (“CME”), the Intercontinental
Exchange (“ICE”) and the LCH Group (“LCH”) are our CCPs for our centrally cleared contracts. In our uncleared bilateral
contracts, we enter into agreements directly with our derivative counterparties.
Counterparty Credit Risk Management
We manage the counterparty credit risk associated with derivative instruments by entering into legally enforceable master
netting agreements, where applicable, and exchanging collateral with our counterparties, typically in the form of cash or high-
quality liquid securities. We exchange collateral in two primary forms: variation margin, which mitigates the risk of changes in
value due to daily market movements and is exchanged daily, and initial margin, which mitigates the risk of potential future
exposure of a derivative and is exchanged at the outset of a transaction and adjusted daily. We exchange variation margin and
initial margin on our cleared derivatives. For uncleared bilateral derivatives, we exchange variation margin and initial margin
on any new trades executed after September 1, 2021, where such trades are in scope for initial margin.
The amount of collateral exchanged for variation margin is dependent upon the fair value of the derivative instruments as well
as the fair value of the pledged collateral and will vary over time as market variables change. The amount of the initial margin
exchanged is dependent upon 1) the calculation of initial margin exposure, as prescribed by 1(a) the U.S. prudential regulators’
margin rules for uncleared derivatives (“PR Rules”) or 1(b) the CCPs for cleared derivatives and 2) the fair value of the pledged
collateral; it will vary over time as market variables change. When valuing collateral, an estimate of the variation in price and
liquidity over time is subtracted in the form of a “haircut” to discount the value of the collateral pledged. Our exposure to
derivative counterparty credit risk, at any point in time, is equal to the amount reported as a derivative asset on our balance
sheet. The fair value of our derivatives is adjusted on an aggregate basis to take into consideration the effects of legally
enforceable master netting agreements and any associated collateral received or pledged. See Table 9.3 for our net exposure
associated with derivatives.
The terms under which we collateralize our exposures differ between cleared exposures and uncleared bilateral exposures.
•
•
CCPs: We clear eligible OTC derivatives with CCPs as part of our regulatory requirements. We also clear exchange-
traded instruments, like futures, with CCPs. Futures commission merchants (“FCMs”) serve as the intermediary between
CCPs and us. CCPs require that we post initial and variation margin through our FCMs to mitigate the risk of non-
payment or default. Initial margin is required by CCPs as collateral against potential losses on our exchange-traded and
cleared derivative contracts and variation margin is exchanged on a daily basis to account for mark-to-market changes in
those derivative contracts. For CME, ICE and LCH-cleared OTC derivatives, variation margin cash payments are
required to be characterized as settlements. Our FCM agreements governing these derivative transactions include
provisions that may require us to post additional collateral under certain circumstances.
Bilateral Counterparties: We enter into master netting agreements and collateral agreements with bilateral derivative
counterparties, where applicable, to mitigate the risk of default. These bilateral agreements typically provide the right to
offset exposure with the same counterparty and require the party in a net liability position to post collateral. Agreements
with certain bilateral counterparties require both parties to maintain collateral in the event the fair values of uncleared
derivatives exceed established exposure thresholds. Certain of these bilateral agreements include provisions requiring
that our debt maintain a credit rating of investment grade or above by each of the major credit rating agencies. In the
event of a downgrade of our debt credit rating below investment grade, some of our counterparties would have the right
to terminate their derivative contract and close out existing positions.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Credit Risk Valuation Adjustments
We record counterparty credit valuation adjustments (“CVAs”) on our derivative assets to reflect the credit quality of our
counterparties. We consider collateral and legally enforceable master netting agreements that mitigate our credit exposure to
each counterparty in determining CVAs, which may be adjusted due to changes in the fair values of the derivative contracts,
collateral, and creditworthiness of the counterparty. We also record debit valuation adjustments (“DVAs”) to adjust the fair
values of our derivative liabilities to reflect the impact of our own credit quality.
Balance Sheet Presentation
The following table summarizes the notional amounts and fair values of our derivative instruments as of December 31, 2022
and 2021, which are segregated by derivatives that are designated as accounting hedges and those that are not, and are further
segregated by type of contract within those two categories. The total derivative assets and liabilities are adjusted on an
aggregate basis to take into consideration the effects of legally enforceable master netting agreements and any associated cash
collateral received or pledged. Derivative assets and liabilities are included in other assets and other liabilities, respectively, on
our consolidated balance sheets, and their related gains or losses are included in operating activities as changes in other assets
and other liabilities in the consolidated statements of cash flows.

These amounts include the amortized cost basis of our investment securities designated in hedging relationships for which the hedged item is the last layer
expected to be remaining at the end of the hedging relationship. The amortized cost basis of this portfolio was $236 million and $247 million as of
December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The amount of the designated hedged items was $225 million as of both December 31, 2022 and 2021. The
cumulative basis adjustments associated with these hedges was $13 million and $3 million as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Carrying value represents amortized cost.
Balance Sheet Offsetting of Financial Assets and Liabilities
Derivative contracts and repurchase agreements that we execute bilaterally in the OTC market are generally governed by
enforceable master netting agreements where we generally have the right to offset exposure with the same counterparty. Either
counterparty can generally request to net settle all contracts through a single payment upon default on, or termination of, any
one contract. We elect to offset the derivative assets and liabilities under master netting agreements for balance sheet
presentation where a right of setoff exists. For derivative contracts entered into under master netting agreements for which we
have not been able to confirm the enforceability of the setoff rights, or those not subject to master netting agreements, we do not
offset our derivative positions for balance sheet presentation.
The following table presents the gross and net fair values of our derivative assets, derivative liabilities, resale and repurchase
agreements and the related offsetting amounts permitted under U.S. GAAP as of December 31, 2022 and 2021. The table
also includes cash and non-cash collateral received or pledged in accordance with such arrangements. The amount of
collateral presented, however, is limited to the amount of the related net derivative fair values or outstanding balances;
therefore, instances of over-collateralization are excluded.

Includes amortization benefit of $78 million and $39 million for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and expense of $12 million
for year ended December 31, 2020, related to basis adjustments on discontinued hedges.
Changes in fair values of cross-currency swaps attributable to changes in cross-currency basis spreads are excluded from the assessment of hedge
effectiveness and recorded in other comprehensive income (“OCI”). The initial value of the excluded component is recognized in earnings over the life of
the swap under the amortization approach.
See “Note 10—Stockholders’ Equity” for the effects of cash flow and net investment hedges on AOCI and amounts reclassified to net income, net of tax.
(4) We recognized a loss of $17 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, gain of $163 million in 2021, and loss of $57 million for year ended
December 31, 2020, on foreign exchange contracts reclassified from AOCI. These amounts were largely offset by the foreign currency transaction gains
(losses) on our foreign currency denominated intercompany funding included in other non-interest income on our consolidated statements of income.
In the next 12 months, we expect to reclassify into earnings a net after-tax loss of $814 million recorded in AOCI as of
December 31, 2022 associated with cash flow hedges of forecasted transactions. This amount will offset the cash flows
associated with hedged forecasted transactions. The maximum length of time over which forecasted transactions were hedged
was approximately 9.2 years as of December 31, 2022. The amount we expect to reclassify into earnings may change as a result
of changes in market conditions and ongoing actions taken as part of our overall risk management strategy.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 11—REGULATORY AND CAPITAL ADEQUACY
Regulation and Capital Adequacy
The Company and the Bank are subject to regulatory capital requirements established by the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System (“Federal Reserve”) and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”), respectively (“Basel III
Capital Rules”). The Basel III Capital Rules implement certain capital requirements published by the Basel Committee on
Banking Supervision (“Basel Committee”), along with certain provisions of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer
Production Act of 2010 (“Dodd-Frank Act”) and other capital provisions.
As a bank holding company (“BHC”) with total consolidated assets of at least $250 billion but less than $700 billion and not
exceeding any of the applicable risk-based thresholds, the Company is a Category III institution under the Basel III Capital
Rules.
The Bank, as a subsidiary of a Category III institution, is a Category III bank. Moreover, the Bank, as an insured depository
institution, is subject to prompt corrective action (“PCA”) capital regulations.
Under the Basel III Capital Rules, we must maintain a minimum common equity Tier 1 (“CET1”) capital ratio of 4.5%, a Tier 1
capital ratio of 6.0% and a total capital ratio of 8.0%, in each case in relation to risk-weighted assets. In addition, we must
maintain a minimum leverage ratio of 4.0% and a minimum supplementary leverage ratio of 3.0%. We are also subject to the
standardized approach capital conservation buffer requirement, which includes the stress capital buffer requirement, any global
systematically important banks (“G-SIB”) surcharge (which is not applicable to us) and the countercyclical capital buffer
requirement (which is currently set at 0%). Our stress capital buffer requirement for the period beginning on October 1, 2022
through September 30, 2023 is 3.1%. Our capital and leverage ratios are calculated based on the Basel III standardized
approach framework.
We have elected to exclude certain elements of AOCI from our regulatory capital as permitted for a Category III institution.
The Federal Reserve, OCC, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (collectively, “Federal Banking Agencies”) adopted
a final rule (“CECL Transition Rule”) that provides banking institutions an optional five-year transition period to phase in the
impact of the CECL standard on their regulatory capital(the “CECL Transition Election”). We adopted the CECL standard (for
accounting purposes) as of January 1, 2020, and made the CECL Transition Election (for regulatory capital purposes) in the
first quarter of 2020. Therefore, the applicable amounts presented in this Report reflect such election.
Pursuant to the CECL Transition Rule, a banking institution could elect to delay the estimated impact of adopting CECL on its
regulatory capital through December 31, 2021 and then phase in the estimated cumulative impact from January 1, 2022 through
December 31, 2024. For the “day 2” ongoing impact of CECL during the initial two years, the Federal Banking Agencies used a
uniform “scaling factor” of 25% as an approximation of the increase in the allowance under the CECL standard compared to the
prior incurred loss methodology. Accordingly, from January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2021, electing banking institutions
were permitted to add back to their regulatory capital an amount equal to the sum of the after-tax “day 1” CECL adoption
impact and 25% of the increase in the allowance since the adoption of the CECL standard. From January 1, 2022 through
December 31, 2024, the after-tax “day 1” CECL adoption impact and the cumulative “day 2” ongoing impact are being phased
in to regulatory capital at 25% per year. The following table summarizes the capital impact delay and phase in period on our
regulatory capital from years 2020 to 2025.

As of December 31, 2021, we added back an aggregate amount of $2.4 billion to our regulatory capital pursuant to the CECL
Transition Rule. Consistent with the rule, we phased in 25% of this amount, or $599 million, on January 1, 2022, leaving
177
Capital One Financial Corporation (COF)
CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
$1.8 billion to be phased in over 2023-2025. As of December 31, 2022, the Company’s CET1 capital ratio, reflecting the CECL
Transition Rule, was 12.5% and would have been 12.0% excluding the impact of the CECL Transition Rule (or “on a fully
phased-in basis”).
For additional information about the capital adequacy guidelines to which we are subject, see “Part I—Item 1. Business—
Supervision and Regulation.”
The following table provides a comparison of our regulatory capital amounts and ratios under the Basel III standardized
approach subject to the applicable transition provisions, the regulatory minimum capital adequacy ratios and the applicable
well-capitalized standard for each ratio as of December 31, 2022 and 2021.

On October 1, 2022, COBNA merged with and into CONA, with CONA as the surviving entity. The capital ratios of COBNA
immediately prior to the Bank Merger were higher than those of CONA, therefore increasing the capital ratios of CONA
immediately after the Bank Merger and as of December 31, 2022. We exceeded the minimum capital requirements and the
Bank exceeded the minimum regulatory requirements and was well-capitalized under PCA requirements as of both December
31, 2022 and 2021.
Regulatory restrictions exist that limit the ability of CONA to transfer funds to our BHC. As of December 31, 2022, funds
available for dividend payments from the Bank were $3.2 billion. Applicable provisions that may be contained in our borrowing
agreements or the borrowing agreements of our subsidiaries may limit our subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends to us or our
ability to pay dividends to our stockholders. There can be no assurance that we will declare and pay any dividends to
stockholders.

NOTE 13—STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS
Stock Plans
We have one active stock-based compensation plan available for the issuance of shares to employees and directors. As of
December 31, 2022, under the Amended and Restated 2004 Stock Incentive plan (“2004 Plan”), we are authorized to issue 67
million common shares in various forms, primarily share-settled RSUs, performance share units (“PSUs”), and non-qualified
stock options. Of this amount, approximately 13 million shares remain available for future issuance as of December 31, 2022.
The 2004 Plan permits the use of newly issued shares or treasury shares upon the settlement of options and stock-based
incentive awards, and we generally settle by issuing new shares.
We also issue cash-settled restricted stock units. These cash-settled units are not counted against the common shares authorized
for issuance or available for issuance under the 2004 Plan. Cash-settled units vesting during 2022, 2021 and 2020 resulted in
cash payments to associates of $8 million, $7 million and $12 million, respectively. There was no unrecognized compensation
cost for unvested cash-settled units as of December 31, 2022.
Total stock-based compensation expense recognized during 2022, 2021 and 2020 was $314 million, $331 million and $203
million, respectively. The total income tax benefit for stock-based compensation recognized during 2022, 2021 and 2020 was
$75 million, $62 million and $43 million, respectively.
In addition, we maintain an Associate Stock Purchase Plan (“Purchase Plan”), which is a compensatory plan under the
accounting guidance for stock-based compensation. Related to the Purchase Plan, we recognized compensation expense of $36
million, $33 million and $30 million for 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. We also maintain a Dividend Reinvestment and
Stock Purchase Plan, which allows participating stockholders to purchase additional shares of our common stock through
automatic reinvestment of dividends or optional cash investments.
Restricted Stock Units and Performance Share Units
RSUs represent share-settled awards that do not contain performance conditions and are granted to certain employees at no cost
to the recipient. RSUs generally vest over three years from the date of grant; however, some RSUs cliff vest on or shortly after
the first or third anniversary of the grant date. RSUs are subject to forfeiture until certain restrictions have lapsed, including
continued employment for a specified period of time.
PSUs represent share-settled awards that contain performance conditions and are granted to certain employees at no cost to the
recipient. PSUs generally vest over three years from the date of grant; however, some PSUs cliff vest on or shortly after the
third anniversary of the grant date. The number of PSUs that step vest over three years can be reduced by 50% or 100%
depending on whether specific performance goals are met during the vesting period. The number of three-year cliff vesting
PSUs that will ultimately vest is contingent upon meeting specific performance goals over a three-year period. These PSUs also
include an opportunity to receive from 0% to 150% of the target number of common shares.
A recipient of an RSU or PSU is entitled to receive a share of common stock after the applicable restrictions lapse and is
generally entitled to receive cash payments or additional shares of common stock equivalent to any dividends paid on the
underlying common stock during the period the RSU or PSU is outstanding, but is not entitled to voting rights. Generally, the
value of RSUs and PSUs will equal the fair value of our common stock on the date of grant and the expense is recognized over
the vesting period. Certain PSUs have discretionary vesting conditions and are remeasured at fair value each reporting period.

The total fair value of RSUs that vested during 2022, 2021 and 2020 was $248 million, $202 million and $140 million,
respectively. The total fair value of PSUs that vested was $127 million, $94 million and $82 million in 2022, 2021 and 2020,
respectively. As of December 31, 2022, the unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested RSUs is $372 million,
which is expected to be amortized over a weighted-average period of approximately 1.9 years; and the unrecognized
compensation related to unvested PSUs was $31 million, which is expected to be amortized over a weighted-average period of
approximately one year.
Stock Options
Stock options have a maximum contractual term of 10 years. Generally, the exercise price of stock options will equal the fair
market value of our common stock on the date of grant. Option vesting is determined at the time of grant and may be subject to
the achievement of any applicable performance conditions. Options generally become exercisable over three years beginning on
the first anniversary of the date of grant; however, some option grants cliff vest on or shortly after the first or third anniversary
of the grant date.

NOTE 14—EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
Defined Contribution Plan
We sponsor a contributory Associate Savings Plan (the “Plan”) in which all full-time and part-time associates over the age of 18
are eligible to participate. We make non-elective contributions to each eligible associate’s account and match a portion of
associate contributions. We also sponsor a voluntary non-qualified deferred compensation plan in which select groups of
employees are eligible to participate. We make contributions to this plan based on participants’ deferral of salary, bonuses and
other eligible pay. In addition, we match participants’ excess compensation (compensation over the Internal Revenue Service
(“IRS”) compensation limit) less deferrals. We contributed a total of $444 million, $378 million and $350 million to these plans
during the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans
We sponsor several frozen plans, including a qualified defined benefit pension plan, several non-qualified defined benefit
pension plans, and a plan that provides other postretirement benefits, including medical and life insurance coverage. Our
pension plans and the other postretirement benefit plan are valued using December 31 as the measurement date each year. Our
policy is to amortize prior service amounts on a straight-line basis over the average remaining years of service to full eligibility
for benefits of active plan participants.
The following table sets forth, on an aggregated basis, changes in the benefit obligation and plan assets, the funded status and

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Net periodic benefit gain for our defined benefit pension plans and other postretirement benefit plan totaled $8 million, $12
million, and $8 million in 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. We recognized a pre-tax loss of $24 million in 2022 and pre-tax
gains of $4 million in other comprehensive income for our defined benefit pension plans and other postretirement benefit plan
in both 2021 and 2020.
Pre-tax amounts recognized in AOCI that have not yet been recognized as a component of net periodic benefit cost consist of
net actuarial losses of $57 million and $33 million for our defined benefit pension plans as of December 31, 2022 and 2021,
respectively, and net actuarial gains of $3 million for our other postretirement benefit plan as of both December 31, 2022 and
2021. There was no meaningful prior service cost recognized in AOCI.
Plan Assets and Fair Value Measurement
Plan assets are invested using a total return investment approach whereby a mix of equity securities and debt securities are used
to preserve asset values, diversify risk and enhance our ability to achieve our benchmark for long-term investment return.
Investment strategies and asset allocations are based on careful consideration of plan liabilities, the plan’s funded status and our
financial condition. Investment performance and asset allocation are measured and monitored on a daily basis.
As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, our plan assets totaled $227 million and $279 million, respectively. We invested
substantially all our plan assets in common collective trusts, which primarily consist of domestic and international equity
securities, government securities and corporate and municipal bonds. Our plan assets were classified as Level 2 in the fair value
hierarchy as of December 31, 2022 and 2021. For information on fair value measurements, including descriptions of Level 1, 2
and 3 of the fair value hierarchy, see “Note 16—Fair Value Measurement.”
Expected Future Benefit Payments
As of December 31, 2022, the benefits expected to be paid in the next ten years totaled $108 million for our defined pension
benefit plans and $11 million for our other postretirement benefit plan, respectively.

NOTE 15—INCOME TAXES
We recognize the current and deferred tax consequences of all transactions that have been recognized in the financial statements
using the provisions of the enacted tax laws. Current income tax expense represents our estimated taxes to be paid or refunded
for the current period and includes income tax expense related to our uncertain tax positions, as well as tax-related interest and
penalties. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of
assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are
expected to reverse. We record valuation allowances to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to
be realized. We record the effect of remeasuring deferred tax assets and liabilities due to a change in tax rates or laws as a
component of income tax expense related to continuing operations for the period in which the change is enacted. We
subsequently release income tax effects stranded in AOCI using a portfolio approach. Income tax benefits are recognized when,
based on their technical merits, they are more likely than not to be sustained upon examination. The amount recognized is the
largest amount of benefit that is more likely than not to be realized upon settlement.
The following table presents significant components of the provision for income taxes attributable to continuing operations for
the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020.

Our gross federal net operating loss carryforwards were $13 million and $25 million as of December 31, 2022 and 2021,
respectively. These operating loss carryforwards were attributable to acquisitions, and none of the $13 million of operating loss
carryforwards are subject to expiration. Under IRS rules, our ability to utilize these losses against future income is limited. The
net tax values of our state net operating loss carryforwards were $267 million and $258 million as of December 31, 2022 and
2021, respectively, and they will expire from 2023 to 2041. Our foreign tax credit carryforwards were $166 million and $91
million as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and they will expire from 2028 to 2032.
Our valuation allowance increased by $91 million to $446 million as of December 31, 2022 compared to $355 million as of
December 31, 2021. Of the total increase, $75 million is related to the current year increase in our foreign tax credit
carryforwards that will not be realized prior to expiration and $15 million is related to reducing state net operating losses and
interest carryforwards to the amount we have determined is more likely than not to be realized.
We recognize accrued interest and penalties related to income taxes as a component of income tax expense. We recognized a $1
million and $30 million tax benefit in 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $16 million of such expense in 2020.

We are subject to examination by the IRS and other tax authorities in certain countries and states in which we operate. The tax
years subject to examination vary by jurisdiction. During 2022, we continued to participate in the IRS Compliance Assurance
Process (“CAP”) for our open federal income tax return years and have been accepted into CAP for 2023. During 2022, the IRS
review of our 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020 federal income tax returns was completed, with the Company due a net refund of tax
and interest and these years are now closed. We expect that the IRS review of our 2021 federal income tax return will be
completed in 2023, as only one issue remains under review post-filing. We also expect that the IRS review of our 2022 federal
income tax return will be substantially completed in 2023 prior to its filing.
It is reasonably possible that further adjustments to the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits may be made within 12 months of
the reporting date as a result of future judicial or regulatory interpretations of existing tax laws. At this time, an estimate of the
potential changes to the amount of unrecognized tax benefits cannot be made.
As of December 31, 2022, the Company had approximately $1.7 billion of unremitted earnings of subsidiaries operating outside
the U.S. that upon repatriation would have no additional U.S. income taxes. In accordance with the guidance for accounting for
income taxes in special areas, nearly all these earnings are considered by management to be invested indefinitely.

As of December 31, 2022, U.S. income taxes of $69 million have not been provided for approximately $287 million of
previously acquired thrift bad debt reserves created for tax purposes as of December 31, 1987. These amounts, acquired as a
result of previous mergers and acquisitions, are subject to recapture in the unlikely event that CONA, as the successor to the

NOTE 16—FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT
Fair value, also referred to as an exit price, is defined as the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a
liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The fair value accounting guidance
provides a three-level fair value hierarchy for classifying financial instruments. This hierarchy is based on the markets in which
the assets or liabilities trade and whether the inputs to the valuation techniques used to measure fair value are observable or
unobservable. The fair value measurement of a financial asset or liability is assigned a level based on the lowest level of any
input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described
below:
Level 1: Valuation is based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Valuation is based on observable market-based inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar
assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be
corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3: Valuation is generated from techniques that use significant assumptions not observable in the market. Valuation
techniques include pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques.
The accounting guidance for fair value measurements requires that we maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the
use of unobservable inputs in determining fair value. We consider all available information, including observable market data,
indications of market liquidity and orderliness, and our understanding of the valuation techniques and significant inputs. Based
upon the specific facts and circumstances of each instrument or instrument category, judgments are made regarding the
significance of the observable or unobservable inputs to the instruments’ fair value measurement in its entirety. If unobservable
inputs are considered significant, the instrument is classified as Level 3. The process for determining fair value using
unobservable inputs is generally more subjective and involves a high degree of management judgment and assumptions. The
accounting guidance provides for the irrevocable option to elect, on a contract-by-contract basis, to measure certain financial
assets and liabilities at fair value at inception of the contract and record any subsequent changes in fair value in earnings.
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
The following describes the valuation techniques used in estimating the fair value of our financial assets and liabilities recorded
at fair value on a recurring basis. The determination of the leveling of financial instruments in the fair value hierarchy is
performed at the end of each reporting period.
Investment Securities
We measure the fair value of our U.S. Treasury securities using quoted prices in active markets. For the majority of securities in
other investment categories, we utilize multiple vendor pricing services to obtain fair value measurements. We use a waterfall
of pricing vendors determined using our annual assessment of pricing service performance. A pricing service may be
considered as the preferred or primary pricing provider depending on how closely aligned its prices are to other vendor prices,
and how consistent the prices are with other available market information. The price of each security is confirmed by
comparing such price to other vendor prices before it is finalized.
RMBS and CMBS are generally classified as Level 2 or 3. When significant assumptions are not consistently observable, fair
values are derived using the best available data. Such data may include quotes provided by dealers, valuation from external
pricing services, independent pricing models, or other model-based valuation techniques, for example, calculation of the present
values of future cash flows incorporating assumptions such as benchmark yields, spreads, prepayment speeds, credit ratings and
losses. Generally, the external pricing services utilize observable market data to the extent available. Pricing models may be
used, which can vary by asset class, and may also incorporate available trade, bid and other market information. Across asset
classes, information such as trader/dealer inputs, credit spreads, forward curves and prepayment speeds are used to help
determine appropriate valuations. Because many fixed income securities do not trade on a daily basis, the pricing models may
apply available information through processes such as benchmarking curves, grouping securities based on their characteristics
and using matrix pricing to prepare valuations. In addition, model processes are used by the pricing services to develop
prepayment assumptions.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
We validate the pricing obtained from the primary pricing providers through comparison of pricing to additional sources,
including other pricing services, dealer pricing indications in transaction results and other internal sources. Pricing variances
among different pricing sources are analyzed. Additionally, on an on-going basis, we request more detailed information from
the valuation vendors to understand the pricing methodology and assumptions used to value the securities.
Derivative Assets and Liabilities
We use both exchange-traded and OTC derivatives to manage our interest rate, foreign currency and commodity risk exposures.
When quoted market prices are available and used to value our exchange-traded derivatives, we classify them as Level 1.
However, the majority of our derivatives do not have readily available quoted market prices. Therefore, we value most of our
derivatives using vendor-based models. We primarily rely on market observable inputs for these models, including, for
example, interest rate yield curves, credit curves, option volatility and currency rates. These inputs can vary depending on the
type of derivatives and nature of the underlying rate, price or index upon which the value of the derivative is based. We
typically classify derivatives as Level 2 when significant inputs can be observed in a liquid market and the model itself does not
require significant judgment. When instruments are traded in less liquid markets and significant inputs are unobservable, such
as interest rate swaps whose remaining terms do not correlate with market observable interest rate yield curves, such derivatives
are classified as Level 3. We consider the impact of credit risk valuation adjustments when measuring the fair value of
derivative contracts in order to reflect the credit quality of the counterparty and our own credit quality. Our internal pricing is
compared against additional pricing sources such as external valuation agents and other internal sources. Pricing variances
among different pricing sources are analyzed and validated. These derivatives are included in other assets or other liabilities on
our consolidated balance sheets.
Loans Held for Sale
In our commercial business, we originate multifamily commercial real estate loans with the intent to sell them to GSEs. We
elect the fair value option for such loans as part of our management of interest rate risk in our multifamily agency business.
These held for sale loans are valued based on market observable inputs and are therefore classified as Level 2. Unrealized gains
and losses on these loans are recorded in other non-interest income in our consolidated statements of income.
Retained Interests in Securitizations
We have retained interests in various mortgage securitizations from previous acquisitions. Our retained interests primarily
include interest-only bonds and negative amortization bonds. We record these retained interests at fair value using market
indications and valuation models to calculate the present value of future cash flows. Due to the use of significant unobservable
inputs such as prepayment and discount rate assumptions, retained interests in securitizations are classified as Level 3 under the
fair value hierarchy.
Deferred Compensation Plan Assets
We offer a voluntary non-qualified deferred compensation plan to eligible associates. In addition to participant deferrals, we
make contributions to the plan. Participants invest these contributions in a variety of publicly traded mutual funds. The plan
assets, which consist of publicly traded mutual funds, are classified as Level 1.

Level 3 Recurring Fair Value Rollforward
The table below presents a reconciliation for all assets and liabilities measured and recognized at fair value on a recurring basis
using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020. Generally, transfers
into Level 3 were primarily driven by the usage of unobservable assumptions in the pricing of these financial instruments as
evidenced by wider pricing variations among pricing vendors and transfers out of Level 3 were primarily driven by the usage of
assumptions corroborated by market observable information as evidenced by tighter pricing among multiple pricing sources.

Significant Level 3 Fair Value Asset and Liability Inputs
Generally, uncertainties in fair value measurements of financial instruments, such as changes in unobservable inputs, may have
a significant impact on fair value. Certain of these unobservable inputs will, in isolation, have a directionally consistent impact
on the fair value of the instrument for a given change in that input. Alternatively, the fair value of the instrument may move in
an opposite direction for a given change in another input. In general, an increase in the discount rate, default rates, loss severity
or credit spreads, in isolation, would result in a decrease in the fair value measurement. In addition, an increase in default rates
would generally be accompanied by a decrease in recovery rates, slower prepayment rates and an increase in liquidity spreads,
and would lead to a decrease in the fair value measurement.
Techniques and Inputs for Level 3 Fair Value Measurements
The following table presents the significant unobservable inputs used to determine the fair values of our Level 3 financial
instruments on a recurring basis. We utilize multiple vendor pricing services to obtain fair value for our securities. Several of
our vendor pricing services are only able to provide unobservable input information for a limited number of securities due to
software licensing restrictions. Other vendor pricing services are able to provide unobservable input information for all
securities for which they provide a valuation. As a result, the unobservable input information for the securities available for sale
presented below represents a composite summary of all information we are able to obtain. The unobservable input information
for all other Level 3 financial instruments is based on the assumptions used in our internal valuation models.

(1) Weighted averages are calculated by using the product of the input multiplied by the relative fair value of the instruments.
(2)
Due to the nature of the various mortgage securitization structures in which we have retained interests, it is not meaningful to present a consolidated
weighted average for the significant unobservable inputs.
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
We are required to measure and recognize certain assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis on the consolidated balance sheets.
These assets are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain
circumstances (for example, from the application of lower of cost or fair value accounting or when we evaluate for impairment).
The following describes the valuation techniques used in estimating the fair value of our financial assets and liabilities recorded
at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.
Net Loans Held for Investment
Loans held for investment that are recorded at fair value on our consolidated balance sheets on a nonrecurring basis largely
consist of impaired loans for which impairment is measured based upon the fair value of the underlying collateral. The fair
value is determined using appraisal values that are obtained from independent appraisers, broker pricing opinions or other
available market information, adjusted for the estimated cost to sell. Due to the use of significant unobservable inputs, these
193
Capital One Financial Corporation (COF)
CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
loans are classified as Level 3 under the fair value hierarchy. Fair value adjustments for individually impaired collateralized
loans held for investment are recorded in provision for credit losses in the consolidated statements of income.
Loans Held for Sale
Loans held for sale for which we have not elected the fair value option are carried at the lower of aggregate cost, net of deferred
fees and deferred origination costs, or fair value. These loans held for sale are valued based on market observable inputs and are
therefore classified as Level 2. Fair value adjustments to these loans are recorded in other non-interest income in our
consolidated statements of income.
Other Assets
Other assets subject to nonrecurring fair value measurements include equity investments accounted for under the measurement
alternative, other repossessed assets and long-lived assets held for sale. The assets held for sale are carried at the lower of the
carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. The fair value is determined based on the appraisal value, listing price of the
property or collateral provided by independent appraisers, and is adjusted for the estimated costs to sell. Due to the use of
significant unobservable inputs, these assets are classified as Level 3 under the fair value hierarchy. Fair value adjustments for
these assets are recorded in other non-interest expense in the consolidated statements of income.
The following table presents the carrying value of the assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and still held as of
December 31, 2022 and 2021, and for which a nonrecurring fair value measurement was recorded during the year then ended.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In the above table, loans held for investment are generally valued based in part on the estimated fair value of the underlying
collateral and the non-recoverable rate, which is considered to be a significant unobservable input. The non-recoverable rate
ranged from 0% to 43%, with a weighted average of 20%, and from 0% to 100%, with a weighted average of 13%, as of
December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The weighted average non-recoverable rate is calculated based on the estimated
market value of the underlying collateral. The significant unobservable inputs and related quantitative information related to fair
value of the other assets are not meaningful to disclose as they vary significantly across properties and collateral.
The following table presents total nonrecurring fair value measurements for the period, included in earnings, attributable to the
change in fair value relating to assets that are still held at December 31, 2022 and 2021.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 17—BUSINESS SEGMENTS AND REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS
Our principal operations are organized into three major business segments, which are defined primarily based on the products
and services provided or the types of customers served: Credit Card, Consumer Banking and Commercial Banking. The
operations of acquired businesses have been integrated into or managed as a part of our existing business segments. Certain
activities that are not part of a segment, such as management of our corporate investment portfolio, asset/liability management
by our centralized Corporate Treasury group and residual tax expense or benefit to arrive at the consolidated effective tax rate
that is not assessed to our primary business segments, are included in the Other category.
•
•
•
•
Credit Card: Consists of our domestic consumer and small business card lending, and international card businesses in
the United Kingdom and Canada.
Consumer Banking: Consists of our deposit gathering and lending activities for consumers and small businesses, and
national auto lending.
Commercial Banking: Consists of our lending, deposit gathering, capital markets and treasury management services to
commercial real estate and commercial and industrial customers. Our customers typically include companies with annual
revenues between $20 million and $2 billion.
Other category: Includes the residual impact of the allocation of our centralized Corporate Treasury group activities,
such as management of our corporate investment portfolio, asset/liability management and oversight of our funds
transfer pricing process, to our business segments. Accordingly, net gains and losses on our investment securities
portfolio and certain trading activities are included in the Other category. Other category also includes foreign exchange-
rate fluctuations on foreign currency-denominated transactions; unallocated corporate expenses that do not directly
support the operations of the business segments or for which the business segments are not considered financially
accountable in evaluating their performance, such as certain restructuring charges; certain material items that are non-
recurring in nature; offsets related to certain line-item reclassifications; and residual tax expense or benefit to arrive at the
consolidated effective tax rate that is not assessed to our primary business segments.
Basis of Presentation
We report the results of each of our business segments on a continuing operations basis. The results of our individual businesses
reflect the manner in which management evaluates performance and makes decisions about funding our operations and
allocating resources.
Business Segment Reporting Methodology
The results of our business segments are intended to present each segment as if it were a stand-alone business. Our internal
management and reporting process used to derive our segment results employs various allocation methodologies, including
funds transfer pricing, to assign certain balance sheet assets, deposits and other liabilities and their related revenue and expenses
directly or indirectly attributable to each business segment. Our funds transfer pricing process managed by our centralized
Corporate Treasury group provides a funds credit for sources of funds, such as deposits generated by our Consumer Banking
and Commercial Banking businesses, and a charge for the use of funds by each segment. The allocation is unique to each
business segment and acquired business and is based on the composition of assets and liabilities. The funds transfer pricing
process considers the interest rate and liquidity risk characteristics of assets and liabilities and off-balance sheet products.
Periodically the methodology and assumptions utilized in the funds transfer pricing process are adjusted to reflect economic
conditions and other factors, which may impact the allocation of net interest income to the business segments. Due to the
integrated nature of our business segments, estimates and judgments have been made in allocating certain revenue and expense
items. Transactions between segments are based on specific criteria or approximate market rate. We regularly assess the
assumptions, methodologies and reporting classifications used for segment reporting, which may result in the implementation
of refinements or changes in future periods.
The following is additional information on the principles and methodologies used in preparing our business segment results.
•
Net interest income: Interest income from loans held for investment and interest expense from deposits and other
interest-bearing liabilities are reflected within each applicable business segment. Because funding and asset/liability

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
management are managed centrally by our Corporate Treasury group, net interest income for our business segments also
includes the results of a funds transfer pricing process that is intended to allocate a cost of funds used or credit for funds
provided to all business segment assets and liabilities, respectively, using a matched funding concept. The taxable-
equivalent benefit of tax-exempt products is also allocated to each business unit with a corresponding increase in income
tax expense.
Non-interest income: Non-interest fees and other revenue associated with loans or customers managed by each business
segment and other direct revenues are accounted for within each business segment.
Provision for credit losses: The provision for credit losses is directly attributable to the business segment in accordance
with the loans each business segment manages.
Non-interest expense: Non-interest expenses directly managed and incurred by a business segment are accounted for
within each business segment. We allocate certain non-interest expenses indirectly incurred by business segments, such
as corporate support functions, to each business segment based on various factors, including the actual cost of the
services from the service providers, the utilization of the services, the number of employees or other relevant factors.
Goodwill and other intangible assets: Goodwill and other intangible assets are assigned to one or more segments at
acquisition. Intangible amortization is included in the results of the applicable segment.
Income taxes: Income taxes are assessed for each business segment based on a standard tax rate with the residual tax
expense or benefit to arrive at the consolidated effective tax rate included in the Other category.
Loans held for investment: Loans are reported within each business segment based on product or customer type served
by that business segment.
Deposits: Deposits are reported within each business segment based on product or customer type served by that business
segment.

Segment Results and Reconciliation
We may periodically change our business segments or reclassify business segment results based on modifications to our
management reporting methodologies or changes in organizational alignment. The following table presents our business
segment results for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, selected balance sheet data as of December 31, 2022
and 2021, and a reconciliation of our total business segment results to our reported consolidated income from continuing
operations, loans held for investment and deposits.

Some of our commercial investments generate tax-exempt income, tax credits or other tax benefits. Accordingly, we present our Commercial Banking
revenue and yields on a taxable-equivalent basis, calculated using the federal statutory tax rate of 21% and state taxes where applicable, with offsetting
reductions to the Other category.
Total net revenue was reduced by $946 million, $629 million and $1.1 billion for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively, for
credit card finance charges and fees charged off as uncollectible.
Revenue from Contracts with Customers
The majority of our revenue from contracts with customers consists of interchange fees, service charges and other customer-
related fees, and other contract revenue. Interchange fees are primarily from our Credit Card business and are recognized upon
settlement with the interchange networks, net of rewards earned by customers. Service charges and other customer-related fees
within our Consumer Banking business are primarily related to fees earned on consumer deposit accounts for account
maintenance and various transaction-based services such as automated teller machine (“ATM”) usage. Service charges and
other customer-related fees within our Commercial Banking business are mostly related to fees earned on treasury management
and capital markets services. Other contract revenue in our Credit Card business consists primarily of revenue from our
partnership arrangements. Other contract revenue in our Consumer Banking business consists primarily of revenue earned on
certain marketing and promotional events from our auto dealers. Revenue from contracts with customers is included in non-
interest income in our consolidated statements of income.

Some of our commercial investments generate tax-exempt income, tax credits or other tax benefits. Accordingly, we present our Commercial Banking
revenue and yields on a taxable-equivalent basis, calculated using the federal statutory tax rate of 21% and state taxes where applicable, with offsetting
reductions to the Other category.
Interchange fees are presented net of customer reward expenses of $7.6 billion, $6.4 billion and $4.9 billion for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021
and 2020, respectively.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 18—COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES, GUARANTEES AND OTHERS
Commitments to Lend
Our unfunded lending commitments primarily consist of credit card lines, loan commitments to customers of both our
Commercial Banking and Consumer Banking businesses, as well as standby and commercial letters of credit. These
commitments, other than credit card lines and certain other unconditionally cancellable lines of credit, are legally binding
conditional agreements that have fixed expirations or termination dates and specified interest rates and purposes. The
contractual amount of these commitments represents the maximum possible credit risk to us should the counterparty draw upon
the commitment. We generally manage the potential risk of unfunded lending commitments by limiting the total amount of
arrangements, monitoring the size and maturity structure of these portfolios and applying the same credit standards for all of our
credit activities.
For unused credit card lines, we have not experienced and do not anticipate that all of our customers will access their entire
available line at any given point in time. Commitments to extend credit other than credit card lines generally require customers
to maintain certain credit standards. Collateral requirements and loan-to-value (“LTV”) ratios are the same as those for funded
transactions and are established based on management’s credit assessment of the customer. These commitments may expire
without being drawn upon; therefore, the total commitment amount does not necessarily represent future funding requirements.
We also issue letters of credit, such as financial standby, performance standby and commercial letters of credit, to meet the
financing needs of our customers. Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by us to guarantee the
performance of a customer to a third party in a borrowing arrangement. Commercial letters of credit are short-term
commitments issued primarily to facilitate trade finance activities for customers and are generally collateralized by the goods
being shipped to the customer. These collateral requirements are similar to those for funded transactions and are established
based on management’s credit assessment of the customer. Management conducts regular reviews of all outstanding letters of
credit and the results of these reviews are considered in assessing the adequacy of reserves for unfunded lending commitments.
The following table presents the contractual amount and carrying value of our unfunded lending commitments as of December
31, 2022 and 2021. The carrying value represents our reserve and deferred revenue on legally binding commitments.

These financial guarantees have expiration dates that range from 2022 to 2027 as of December 31, 2022.
Loss Sharing Agreements
Within our Commercial Banking business, we originate multifamily commercial real estate loans with the intent to sell them to
the GSEs. We enter into loss sharing agreements with the GSEs upon the sale of these originated loans. Beginning January 1,
2020, we elected the fair value option on new loss sharing agreements entered into. Unrealized gains and losses are recorded in
other non-interest income in our consolidated statements of income. For those loss sharing agreements entered into as of and
prior to December 31, 2019, we amortize the liability recorded at inception into non-interest income as we are released from
risk of having to make a payment and record our estimate of expected credit losses each period in provision for credit losses in
our consolidated statements of income. The liability recognized on our consolidated balance sheets for these loss sharing
agreements was $82 million and $90 million as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. See “Note 4—Allowance for
Credit Losses and Reserve for Unfunded Lending Commitments” for more information related to our credit card partnership
loss sharing arrangements.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Litigation
In accordance with the current accounting standards for loss contingencies, we establish reserves for litigation-related matters
that arise from the ordinary course of our business activities when it is probable that a loss associated with a claim or
proceeding has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. None of the amounts we currently have
recorded individually or in the aggregate are considered to be material to our financial condition. Litigation claims and
proceedings of all types are subject to many uncertain factors that generally cannot be predicted with assurance. Below we
provide a description of potentially material legal proceedings and claims.
For some of the matters disclosed below, we are able to estimate reasonably possible losses above existing reserves, and for
other disclosed matters, such an estimate is not possible at this time. For those matters below where an estimate is possible,
management currently estimates the reasonably possible future losses beyond our reserves as of December 31, 2022 are
approximately $200 million. Our reserve and reasonably possible loss estimates involve considerable judgment and reflect that
there is still significant uncertainty regarding numerous factors that may impact the ultimate loss levels. Notwithstanding, our
attempt to estimate a reasonably possible range of loss beyond our current accrual levels for some litigation matters based on
current information, it is possible that actual future losses will exceed both the current accrual level and the range of reasonably
possible losses disclosed here. Given the inherent uncertainties involved in these matters, especially those involving
governmental agencies, and the very large or indeterminate damages sought in some of these matters, there is significant
uncertainty as to the ultimate liability we may incur from these litigation matters and an adverse outcome in one or more of
these matters could be material to our results of operations or cash flows for any particular reporting period.
Interchange
In 2005, a putative class of retail merchants filed antitrust lawsuits against MasterCard and Visa and several issuing banks,
including Capital One, seeking both injunctive relief and monetary damages for an alleged conspiracy by defendants to fix the
level of interchange fees. Other merchants have asserted similar claims in separate lawsuits, and while these separate cases did
not name any issuing banks, Visa, MasterCard and issuers, including Capital One, have entered settlement and judgment
sharing agreements allocating the liabilities of any judgment or settlement arising from all interchange-related cases.
The lawsuits were consolidated before the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York for certain purposes and
were settled in 2012. The class settlement, however, was invalidated by the United States Court of Appeals for the Second
Circuit in June 2016, and the suit was bifurcated into separate class actions seeking injunctive and monetary relief,
respectively. In addition, numerous merchant groups opted out of the 2012 settlement and have pursued their own claims. The
claims by the injunctive relief class have not been resolved, but the settlement of $5.5 billion for the monetary damages class
received final approval from the trial court, and has been appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. Visa and
MasterCard have also settled a number of the opt-out cases, which required non-material payments from issuing banks,
including Capital One. Visa created a litigation escrow account following its initial public offering of stock in 2008 that funds
settlements for its member banks, and any settlements related to MasterCard-allocated losses have either already been paid or
are reflected in our reserves.
Cybersecurity Incident
On July 29, 2019, we announced that on March 22 and 23, 2019 an outside individual gained unauthorized access to our
systems. This individual obtained certain types of personal information relating to people who had applied for our credit card
products and to our credit card customers (the “Cybersecurity Incident”). As a result of the Cybersecurity Incident, we are
subject to numerous legal proceedings and other inquiries and could be the subject of additional proceedings and inquiries in
the future.
Consumer class actions. We were named as a defendant in approximately 75 putative consumer class action cases (primarily in
U.S. courts with cases also in Canadian courts) alleging harm from the Cybersecurity Incident and seeking various remedies,
including monetary and injunctive relief. The lawsuits allege breach of contract, negligence, violations of various privacy laws
and a variety of other legal causes of action. The U.S. consumer class actions were consolidated for pretrial proceedings before
a multi-district litigation (“MDL”) panel in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, Alexandria Division. In
the fourth quarter of 2021, the parties agreed to a settlement of the U.S. consumer class action cases for an amount within
existing reserves. The MDL court approved the settlement in September 2022, and the approval became final in the fourth
quarter of 2022. The balance of the settlement was paid after the court approval became final in the fourth quarter of 2022, and
the U.S. consumer class action is now concluded. Capital One maintained cyber insurance that covered this settlement. In

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Canada, a trial court in British Columbia preliminarily certified a class of all impacted Canadian consumers except those in
Quebec in the second quarter of 2022, which would allow the case to proceed with discovery on a classwide basis under
Canadian law. The preliminary certification decision has been appealed.
Securities class action. The Company and certain officers were also named as defendants in a putative class action pending in
the MDL alleging violations of certain federal securities laws in connection with statements and alleged omissions in securities
filings relating to our information security standards and practices. The complaint sought certification of a class of all persons
who purchased or otherwise acquired Capital One securities from July 23, 2015 to July 29, 2019, as well as unspecified
monetary damages, costs and other relief. The MDL court granted the Company’s motion to dismiss in September 2022, and
the dismissal became final in the fourth quarter of 2022. The securities class action is now concluded.
Governmental inquiries. We have received inquiries and requests for information relating to the Cybersecurity Incident from
Congress, federal regulators, relevant Canadian regulators, the Department of Justice, and the offices of approximately fourteen
state Attorneys General. We have cooperated with these offices and responded to their inquiries.
In August 2020, we entered into consent orders with the Federal Reserve and OCC resulting from regulatory reviews of the
Cybersecurity Incident and relating to ongoing enhancements of our cybersecurity and operational risk management processes.
We paid an $80 million penalty to the U.S. Treasury as part of the OCC agreement. The Federal Reserve agreement did not
contain a monetary penalty. The OCC lifted its consent order on August 31, 2022.
U.K. PPI Litigation
In the U.K., we previously sold payment protection insurance (“PPI”). For several years leading up to the claims submission
deadline of August 29, 2019 (as set by the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority), we received customer complaints and regulatory
claims relating to PPI. COEP has materially resolved the PPI complaints and regulatory claims received prior to the deadline.
Some of the claimants in the U.K. PPI regulatory claims process have subsequently initiated legal proceedings, seeking
additional redress. We are responding to these proceedings as we receive them.
Other Pending and Threatened Litigation
In addition, we are commonly subject to various pending and threatened legal actions relating to the conduct of our normal
business activities. In the opinion of management, the ultimate aggregate liability, if any, arising out of all such other pending
or threatened legal actions is not expected to be material to our consolidated financial position or our results of operations.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
Overview
We are required under applicable laws and regulations to maintain controls and procedures, which include disclosure controls
and procedures as well as internal control over financial reporting, as further described below.
(a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures refer to controls and other procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that
information required to be disclosed in our financial reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time
periods specified by SEC rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management,
including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding our
required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, we recognize that any controls and
procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control
objectives, and we must apply judgment in evaluating and implementing possible controls and procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As required by Rule 13a-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”), our management, including the Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and
procedures (as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of December 31, 2022, the end of
the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2022, at a reasonable
level of assurance, in recording, processing, summarizing and reporting information required to be disclosed within the time
periods specified by the SEC rules and forms.
(b) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
We regularly review our disclosure controls and procedures and make changes intended to ensure the quality of our financial
reporting. There have been no changes in internal control over financial reporting that occurred in the fourth quarter of 2022
which have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial
reporting.
(c) Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting is included in “Part II—Item 8. Financial Statements and
Supplementary Data” and is incorporated herein by reference. The Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
