Bread Financial Holdings Inc., a tech-forward financial services company, offers personalized payment, lending, and saving solutions primarily in the U.S. financial sector. The company recently reported its first-quarter earnings for 2025, showcasing its financial resilience with a net income of $138 million and a tangible book value per common share of $48.92. The company also completed a $400 million subordinated notes offering and a $150 million share repurchase program, enhancing its capital structure and shareholder value.
Key financial metrics from the report include a 1% year-over-year increase in credit sales, driven by higher general-purpose spending, and a 5% increase in income from continuing operations due to improved credit and expense management. Despite a challenging macroeconomic environment, the company managed to decrease its average loans by 2% and saw a reduction in both delinquency and net loss rates. The company’s total revenue decreased by 2%, primarily due to lower finance charges and late fees.
Strategically, Bread Financial expanded its partnerships, including a new card program with Crypto.com and a renewed agreement with Academy Sports. The company also focused on optimizing its balance sheet, increasing its total risk-based capital ratio to 15.5% and boosting direct-to-consumer deposits by 13% year-over-year.
Looking ahead, Bread Financial remains committed to responsible growth and operational excellence, with plans to adapt to changing fiscal and monetary policies. The company anticipates a flat to slightly down average loan growth for 2025 and expects total revenue growth to be flat to slightly up, considering economic uncertainties and interest rate changes.
