CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORP

Total assets increased by $1.6 billion to $480.0 billion as of June 30, 2024 from December 31, 2023 primarily driven by increases in our cash balances as deposit growth was partially offset by net maturities of unsecured senior debt.

Total liabilities increased by $1.7 billion to $422.0 billion as of June 30, 2024 from December 31, 2023 primarily driven by deposit growth due to our national consumer banking strategy, partially offset by net maturities of unsecured senior debt. Our national consumer banking strategy includes our national brand and marketing strategy, cafés, and tech / digital investments, which have enabled us to both deepen and grow our overall customer base.

Stockholders’ equity decreased by $108 million to $58.0 billion as of June 30, 2024 from December 31, 2023 primarily driven by an increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss and stock dividends, partially offset by net income of $1.9 billion.

The following is a discussion of material changes in the major components of our assets and liabilities during the first six months of 2024. Period-end balance sheet amounts may vary from average balance sheet amounts due to the timing of normal balance sheet management activities that are intended to support our capital and liquidity positions, our market risk profile and the needs of our customers.
