2 Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements The following slides are part of a presentation by Synchrony Financial in connection with reporting quarterly financial results. No representation is made that the information in these slides is complete. For additional information, see the earnings release and financial supplement included as exhibits to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed today and available on our website (www.synchronyfinancial.com) and the SEC's website (www.sec.gov). All references to net earnings and net income are intended to have the same meaning. All comparisons are for the first quarter of 2021 compared to the first quarter of 2020, unless otherwise noted. This presentation contains certain forward-looking statements as defined in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which are subject to the "safe harbor" created by those sections. Forward-looking statements may be identified by words such as "expects," "intends," "anticipates," "plans," "believes," "seeks," "targets," "outlook," "estimates," "will," "should," "may" or words of similar meaning, but these words are not the exclusive means of identifying forward-looking statements. Forward- looking statements are based on management's current expectations and assumptions, and are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. As a result, actual results could differ materially from those indicated in these forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include global political, economic, business, competitive, market, regulatory and other factors and risks, such as: the impact of macroeconomic conditions and whether industry trends we have identified develop as anticipated, including the future impacts of the novel coronavirus disease (“COVID-19”) outbreak and measures taken in response thereto for which future developments are highly uncertain and difficult to predict; retaining existing partners and attracting new partners, concentration of our revenue in a small number of Retail Card partners, and promotion and support of our products by our partners; cyber-attacks or other security breaches; disruptions in the operations of our and our outsourced partners' computer systems and data centers; the financial performance of our partners; the sufficiency of our allowance for credit losses and the accuracy of the assumptions or estimates used in preparing our financial statements, including those related to the CECL accounting guidance; higher borrowing costs and adverse financial market conditions impacting our funding and liquidity, and any reduction in our credit ratings; our ability to grow our deposits in the future; damage to our reputation; our ability to securitize our loan receivables, occurrence of an early amortization of our securitization facilities, loss of the right to service or subservice our securitized loan receivables, and lower payment rates on our securitized loan receivables; changes in market interest rates and the impact of any margin compression; effectiveness of our risk management processes and procedures, reliance on models which may be inaccurate or misinterpreted, our ability to manage our credit risk; our ability to offset increases in our costs in retailer share arrangements; competition in the consumer finance industry; our concentration in the U.S. consumer credit market; our ability to successfully develop and commercialize new or enhanced products and services; our ability to realize the value of acquisitions and strategic investments; reductions in interchange fees; fraudulent activity; failure of third-parties to provide various services that are important to our operations; international risks and compliance and regulatory risks and costs associated with international operations; alleged infringement of intellectual property rights of others and our ability to protect our intellectual property; litigation and regulatory actions; our ability to attract, retain and motivate key officers and employees; tax legislation initiatives or challenges to our tax positions and/or interpretations, and state sales tax rules and regulations; regulation, supervision, examination and enforcement of our business by governmental authorities, the impact of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”) and other legislative and regulatory developments and the impact of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s (the “CFPB”) regulation of our business; impact of capital adequacy rules and liquidity requirements; restrictions that limit our ability to pay dividends and repurchase our common stock, and restrictions that limit the Bank’s ability to pay dividends to us; regulations relating to privacy, information security and data protection; use of third-party vendors and ongoing third-party business relationships; and failure to comply with anti-money laundering and anti-terrorism financing laws. For the reasons described above, we caution you against relying on any forward-looking statements, which should also be read in conjunction with the other cautionary statements that are included elsewhere in this presentation and in our public filings, including under the heading “Risk Factors Relating to Our Business” and “Risk Factors Relating to Regulation” in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, as filed on February 11, 2021. You should not consider any list of such factors to be an exhaustive statement of all the risks, uncertainties, or potentially inaccurate assumptions that could cause our current expectations or beliefs to change. Further, any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and we undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which the statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as otherwise may be required by law.

14 2021 Framework on Key Drivers Purchase Volume • 1H’21: 1Q stronger than anticipated, 2Q higher comparing against 2020 Covid restrictions • 2H’21: improving growth trends as pandemic impact moderates and macroeconomic growth accelerates Loan Receivable Growth • 1H’21: continued higher payment rates from stimulus expected to impact loan growth • 2H’21: slowing payment rates and purchase volume growth contribute to loan growth • Gap non-renewal may result in assets being reclassified to held-for-sale in ‘21 Net Interest Margin • Overall: no long-term change to NIM when excluding excess liquidity • 1H’21: higher payment rates will contribute to continued excess liquidity impacting asset mix • 2H’21: asset growth reduces excess liquidity and slowing payment rates positively impacts interest and fee yields leading to increasing NIM Provision for Credit Losses • DQs & NCOs: increase from current levels in NCOs and delinquencies in 2H‘21, with peak delinquencies now expected ~1Q‘22 • Reserve: largely driven by asset growth, credit performance and impacts from change in the macroeconomic scenario; certain scenarios could indicate further reserve releases RSAs - % of ALR • 1H’21: RSA to remain elevated, primarily reflecting strong program performance • 2H’21: RSA trends lower generally reflecting higher NCOs partially offset by higher revenue Operating Expenses • Continued realization of the expense reduction plan through ‘21 • Partially offsetting cost reductions will be an increase for growth related items (e.g., active accounts, higher marketing expenses, etc.) and an increase for delinquent accounts (comments and trends in comparison to 2020, except where noted)
15 Growth accelerates Payment rates remain a headwind Credit outperforms Continue CareCredit Expansion • Purchase volume of $35 billion, +8% • Originated 5 million new accounts, +3% • Leverage digital capabilities • Loan receivables of $77 billion down (7)% • NIM of 13.98% down (117) bps • Delinquencies down (141) bps for 30+ (58) bps for 90+ • NCOs down (174) bps • Capitalize on changing Healthcare and Pet Landscape • Deliver new products, financing alternatives and experiences 1Q’21 Key Business Themes
