Key factors affecting the results of our Credit Card business for the third quarter and first nine months of 2025 compared to the third quarter and first nine months of 2024, and changes in financial condition and credit performance between September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 include the following:
Net Interest Income: Net interest income increased by $3.7 billion to $9.4 billion in the third quarter of 2025 and increased by $6.0 billion to $22.3 billion in the first nine months of 2025 primarily driven by higher loan balances, including the impacts of the Transaction.
Non-Interest Income: Non-interest income increased by $702 million to $2.2 billion in the third quarter of 2025 and increased by $1.0 billion to $5.5 billion in the first nine months of 2025 primarily due to growth in our portfolio, including the impacts of the Transaction.
Provision for Credit Losses: Provision for credit losses increased by $280 million to $2.4 billion in the third quarter of 2025 primarily driven by higher net charge-offs as a result of the Transaction, partially offset by a larger allowance release compared to the third quarter of 2024. Provision for credit losses increased by $7.5 billion to $15.4 billion in the first nine months of 2025 primarily driven by the initial allowance for credit losses for non-PCD loans acquired in the Transaction.
Non-Interest Expense: Non-interest expense increased by $2.0 billion to $5.4 billion in the third quarter of 2025 and increased by $3.8 billion to $13.5 billion in the first nine months of 2025 primarily driven by the impacts of the Transaction and continued investments in technology.
Period-end loans held for investment increased by $108.5 billion to $271.0 billion as of September 30, 2025 from December 31, 2024 primarily driven by the Transaction. The Transaction contributed $108.2 billion in loans held for investment as of the Closing Date.
Average loans held for investment increased by $115.2 billion to $269.2 billion in the third quarter of 2025 compared to the third quarter of 2024 and increased by $60.8 billion to $212.2 billion in the first nine months of 2025 compared to the first nine months of 2024 primarily driven by the Transaction.
