Synchrony Financial posts $103B loan portfolio data

Synchrony Financial reports August 2026 loan receivables of $103.0 billion with a 4.2% 30+ delinquency rate and a 4.9% net charge-off rate.

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Synchrony Financial (SYF) is furnishing unaudited monthly credit-quality statistics for its loan portfolio for each of the thirteen months ended August 31, 2026. As of August 31, 2026, period-end loan receivables were $103.0 billion, with average loan receivables of $102.3 billion for that month.

For August 2026, the company reports a 30+ delinquency rate of 4.2% and a net charge-off rate of 4.9%. Because recovery adjustments are zero in August, the adjusted net charge-off rate, a non‑GAAP measure that spreads recoveries (including debt sales) evenly across each quarter, is also 4.9%. Synchrony states that consumer credit card loan receivables represent more than 90% of total period-end loan receivables and that it intends to continue furnishing these statistics on a monthly basis.

Filing Explained

The filing adds monthly credit-quality visibility, but its statistics are furnished information, not information treated as filed under Section 18.

This Form 8-K furnishes Synchrony’s portfolio statistics under Item 7.01; the current state is an information update, and the exhibit is not treated as filed under Section 18 or incorporated by reference unless expressly stated.

For existing common holders, the material structural consequence is reporting visibility: the figures are supplied as furnished information rather than as a Section 18 filing.

The reported 30-plus-day delinquency rate uses period-end loan receivables as its denominator, while the annualized net charge-off rate uses average loan receivables, including receivables held for sale.

Monthly charge-offs can vary because the number and timing of charge-off cycle dates differ between months; the filing says this variation may occur without a corresponding change in portfolio performance.

The adjusted net charge-off rate adds a recovery adjustment that allocates recoveries, including debt sales, across a quarter; estimates for months before quarter-end can change and may differ from actual quarterly results.

30+ delinquency rate financial

"References to “30+ delinquency rate” are to over-30 day loan delinquencies"

net charge-off rate financial

"References to “net charge-off rate” are to net charge-offs (annualized)"

Net charge-off rate is the percentage of outstanding loans a lender writes off as uncollectible during a period after subtracting any money later recovered. Think of it like a shop marking damaged items as total loss (then accounting for any partial refunds) — it shows how much credit a lender truly lost. Investors watch it because rising rates signal worsening borrower health, lower future profits and higher risk to a bank’s capital.

Adjusted net charge-off rate financial

"Adjusted net charge-off rate represents adjusted net charge-offs as a percentage"

non-GAAP financial measure financial

"Adjusted net charge-offs are a non-GAAP financial measure that include the 'recovery adjustment'"

A non-GAAP financial measure is a way companies present their financial results that excludes certain expenses or income to show how they believe their core business is performing. It matters because it can give a clearer picture of how the company is really doing, but it can also be used to make results look better than they actually are.

(1) References to “30+ delinquency rate” are to over-30 day loan delinquencies as a percentage of period-end loan receivables. References to “net charge-off rate” are to net charge-offs (annualized) as a percentage of average loan receivables, including held for sale. Net charge-offs consist of uncollectible principal balances, net of recovered amounts. Uncollectible interest and fees receivables are written off as a reduction of interest and fees on loans.
(2) Charge-offs are executed on charge-off cycle dates which occur on various days during each calendar month. The number of different charge-off cycle dates in each month varies based on such factors as the calendar and the timing of billing cycles. As a result, the amount of charged-off loan receivables can vary between monthly periods with no corresponding change in the performance of the portfolio. The following table sets forth the number of different charge-off cycle dates for our consumer credit card loan receivables, which represent greater than 90% of total period end loan receivables at August 31, 2026, for the calendar months indicated.
			2025						2026
January			28						25
February			28						28
March			28						30
April			29						28
May			25						28
June			30						28
July			28						28
August			28						28
September			28						29
October			28						25
November			28						30
December			29						28
(3) Represents adjustment to allocate recoveries, including debt sales, evenly across the three calendar months of each respective quarterly reporting period. The adjustments for periods other than for the last month of each calendar quarter incorporate estimated recoveries for the applicable full quarterly reporting period. Such estimates are subject to change within each applicable quarter and may differ from actual quarterly results.
(4) Adjusted net charge-off rate represents adjusted net charge-offs as a percentage of average loan receivables, including held for sale. Adjusted net charge-offs are a non-GAAP financial measure that include the 'recovery adjustment' defined above. We believe the presentation of the adjusted net charge-off rate is useful to investors as it represents a monthly measure which is more indicative of both our quarterly and annual net charge-off rates.
