Riverwoods, IL, July 21, 2021 - Discover Financial Services (NYSE: DFS) today reported net income of $1.7 billion or $5.55 per diluted share for the second quarter of 2021, as compared to a net loss of ($368) million or ($1.20) per diluted share for the second quarter of 2020.
“In the second quarter, our marketing investments, strong value proposition, and accelerating sales trends produced sequential card receivables growth, while credit performance continued to improve. Additionally, we generated significant capital which supported our decision to substantially increase our dividend and share repurchase authorization,” said Roger Hochschild, CEO and President of Discover. “Looking ahead, these results improve our confidence in our loan growth expectation for this year, while we see opportunity to increase our marketing and other investments to accelerate growth in future periods.”
Segment Results:
Digital Banking
Digital Banking pretax income of $1.5 billion for the quarter was $2.0 billion higher than the prior year period primarily driven by a decrease in the provision for credit losses and higher revenue net of interest expenses, partially offset by higher operating expenses.
Total loans ended the quarter at $87.7 billion, down 1% year-over-year, but up 2% sequentially. Credit card loans ended the quarter at $68.9 billion, down 2% year-over-year. Personal loans decreased $451 million, or 6%, and private student loans increased $134 million, or 1%, year-over-year. The organic student loan portfolio, which excludes purchased loans, increased $386 million, or 4% from the prior year period.
Net interest income for the quarter increased $109 million, or 5%, from the prior year period, driven by a favorable net impact from lower market rates and decreased interest charge-offs, partially offset by lower average receivables. Net interest margin was 10.68%, up 87 basis points versus the prior year. Card yield was 12.52%, up 18 basis points from the prior year period primarily driven by a lower mix of receivables at a promotional rate and decreased interest charge-offs, partially offset by the impact of a higher payment rate on revolving loan balances. Interest expense as a percent of total loans decreased 81 basis points from the prior year period, primarily as a result of lower market rates and proactive management of deposit costs, and a favorable shift in the funding mix.
Non-interest income increased $104 million, or 29%, from the prior year period, mainly driven by higher discount/interchange revenue and loan fee income partially offset by higher rewards cost.
The total net charge-off rate of 2.12% was 132 basis points lower versus the prior year period reflecting strong credit performance across the portfolio. The credit card net charge-off rate was 2.45%, down 145 basis points from the prior year period and down 35 basis points from the prior quarter. The 30+ day delinquency rate for credit card loans was 1.43%, down 74 basis points year-over year and down 42 basis points from the prior quarter. The student loan net charge-off rate was 0.53%, down 9 basis points from the prior year and flat to the prior quarter. Personal loans net charge-off rate of 1.80% was down 163 basis points from the prior year and down 100 basis point from the prior quarter.
Provision for credit losses of $135 million decreased $1.9 billion from the prior year period driven by a reserve release in the quarter and lower net charge-offs. The second quarter of 2021 included a $321 million reserve release, compared to a reserve build of $1.3 billion in the second quarter of 2020. Net charge-offs of $456 million were $311 million lower than the prior year period.
Total operating expenses were up $110 million, year-over year, or 11%, primarily reflecting higher marketing expense, higher compensation accruals, and software related write-offs. Marketing increased driven by acquisition and brand investments.
Payment Services
Payment Services pretax income was $692 million, up $669 million year-over-year. Higher revenue was driven by a $729 million one-time gain on an equity investment. This was partially offset by a $92 million intangible impairment in our Diners business due to global T&E spend remaining below pre-pandemic levels. The prior year quarter included a $59 million intangible impairment charge in our Diners business related to the steep decline in T&E spend.
Payment Services volume was $78.4 billion, up 22% year-over-year. PULSE dollar volume was up 19% year-over-year with growth across all debit products driven by increased spend related to the economic recovery. Diners Club volume was up 41% year-over-year reflecting a partial rebound from the impacts of the pandemic but remains 28% below volume levels in the second quarter of 2019. Network Partners volume increased by 30% year-over-year driven by AribaPay volume.
Share Repurchase
During the second quarter of 2021, the company repurchased approximately 4.9 million shares of common stock for $553 million. Shares of common stock outstanding declined by 1.6% from the prior quarter.
The Board of Directors has approved a new $2.4 billion share repurchase program and increased the quarterly common stock dividend from $0.44 to $0.50 per share. The new share repurchase program spans three quarters through March 31, 2022, replaces the prior program, and may be terminated at any time. The company expects to make share repurchases from time to time subject to the company’s capital plan, market conditions and other factors, including legal and regulatory restrictions and required approvals.
Dividend Declaration
The Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.50 per share of common stock payable on September 2, 2021, to holders of record at the close of business on August 19, 2021.
The Board of Directors of Discover Financial Services also declared a semi-annual cash dividend on its Fixed Rate Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series C, in the amount of $2,750 per share.
