- Revenue increased by 23% compared to the second quarter, driven by the full quarter effect of the Discover acquisition.
- The company's net interest margin improved to 8.36%, up 74 basis points from the prior quarter, largely due to the Discover acquisition and higher yields on legacy Capital One domestic card loans.

- The domestic card segment showed strong performance with a 39% year-over-year purchase volume growth, primarily driven by the addition of Discover's purchase volume.
- Non-interest expenses increased by 18% or 16% net of adjustments, reflecting higher costs associated with the Discover acquisition.
- The provision for credit losses was $2.7 billion, with higher net charge-offs from the full quarter impact of Discover.
- The Discover card portfolio is expected to face growth headwinds due to prior credit policy cutbacks and trimming around the edges.
