Note: As adjusted basis (non-GAAP) data is presented to show how the Company's financial data would be presented for each of the fiscal quarters in the year ended November 30, 2009 if the trusts used in the Company’s securitization activities were consolidated into the Company’s  financial statements for such periods. As adjusted income statement data also excludes the impact of income received in connection with the settlement of the Company's antitrust litigation with Visa and MasterCard in each quarter of 2009 and the income statement impact of the Morgan Stanley special dividend agreement dispute in the fourth quarter of 2009.

Note: As adjusted basis (non-GAAP) data is presented to show how the Company's financial data would be presented for each of the fiscal quarters in the year ended November 30, 2009 if the trusts used in the Company’s securitization activities were consolidated into the  Company’s financial statements for such periods. As adjusted income statement data also excludes the impact of income received in connection with the settlement of the Company's antitrust litigation with Visa and MasterCard in each quarter of 2009 and the income statement impact of the Morgan Stanley special dividend agreement dispute in the fourth quarter of 2009.

RECONCILIATION OF GAAP TO AS ADJUSTED DATA


The following pages present a reconciliation for certain information disclosed in the financial data supplement.

The trusts used in the securitization activities of Discover Financial Services (the "Company") are included in the Company's consolidated financial results beginning with the fiscal quarter ending February 28, 2010, in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 166,  Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets - an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140  ("Statement No. 166") (codified under the FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Section 860,  Transfers and Servicing ) and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 167,  Amendments to FASB Interpretations No. 46(R)  ("Statement No. 167") (codified under ASC Section 810,  Consolidation), which were effective for the Company at the beginning of its current fiscal year, December 1, 2009.

The Company did not retrospectively adopt Statements No. 166 and 167 and, therefore, financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for 2010 and beyond will reflect the new accounting requirements, but the historical GAAP financial statements for periods ending on or before November 30, 2009 will continue to reflect the accounting applicable prior to the Company’s adoption of Statements No. 166 and 167.

To allow for a more meaningful historical comparison in analyzing financial data presented in 2010 and beyond, the Company has prepared financial statements showing how the Company's financial data would have been presented if the trusts used in the Company's securitization activities were consolidated into the Company's financial statements in 2009. In preparing the financial statements, the Company made securitization and as adjusted adjustments for each period.  Securitization adjustments reverse the effect of loan securitization by recharacterizing securitization income to report interest income, interest expense, provision for loan losses, discount and interchange revenue and loan fee revenues in the same lines as non-securitized loans. As adjusted adjustments include additional amounts necessary to reflect results as if the trusts used in our securitization activities had been fully consolidated in our historical results and adjustments to exclude the impact of income received in connection with the settlement of the Company's antitrust litigation with Visa and MasterCard in each quarter of 2009 and the income statement impact of the Morgan Stanley special dividend agreement dispute in the fourth quarter of 2009.

Tangible common equity ("TCE"), a non-GAAP financial measure, represents common equity less goodwill and intangibles.  A reconcilation of TCE to common equity, a GAAP financial measure, is shown on the pages that follow.  Other financial services companies may also use TCE and definitions may vary, so we advise users of this information to exercise caution in comparing TCE of different companies.  TCE is included because management believes that common equity excluding goodwill and intangibles is a more meaningful valuation to investors of the true net asset value of the company.

Reserve rate (excluding guaranteed student loans), a non-GAAP financial measure, represents the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans excluding guaranteed student loans. A reconciliation of total loans, a GAAP financial measure, to loans excluding the guaranteed portion of student loans is shown on the pages that follow. A portion of the Company's student loans are 97% guaranteed by the federal government under the Federal Family Education Loan Program. These guaranteed student loans carry little default risk and therefore, are reserved at a significantly lower rate than the remaining portfolio. Management believes that a reserve rate excluding the government guaranteed portion of student loans is a more meaningful valuation to investors of the portion of the portfolio that has a risk of loss.
