Exhibit 99.2 NAVIENT REPORTS THIRD-QUARTER 2026 FINANCIAL RESULTS HERNDON, Va., November 4, 2026 — Navient (Nasdaq: NAVI) today announced third-quarter 2026 net income of $15 million ($0.16 per diluted share) on a GAAP basis. Earnings for the period included derivative hedging gains and a tax benefit aggregating $12 million on an after -tax basis ($0.13 per diluted share). Navient’s definition of Core Earnings excludes these items and, accordingly, Core Earnings (1) for the period were $3 million ($0.03 per diluted share). Earnings in the quarter were increased by $23 million ($0.18 per diluted share) as a result of a net fair value increase from applying the fair value option to In-School Loans originated in the quarter and were reduced by loan loss provisions on newly originated Refinance Loans and Personal Loans in the quarter of $16 million ($0.13 per diluted share). Loan originations for the third quarter, under the Earnest brand, were $1.4 billion, an increase of 77% from the third quarte r of the prior year. Third-quarter 2026 originations included $46 million of Personal Loans resulting from Earnest’s continuing tes t program for this new product, versus no originations in the prior year as the Personal Loan product was launched in the fourt h quarter of 2025. Refinance Loan originations in the quarter were $870 million and In -School Loan originations were $479 million, resulting in increases of 65% and 84%, respectively, versus the prior year period. Average FICO scores for Personal Loans, Refinance Loans and In-School Loans in the quarter were 768, 775, and 770, respectively, reflecting the company’s strategy since 2024 to focus on originating loans to higher credit quality borrowers. Net income and earnings per diluted share reported for the third quarter 2026 include a number of significant items. These significant items, set forth below, resulted in a net reduction in pre-tax earnings of $34 million ($0.27 per diluted share) and apply both to GAAP and Core Earnings. PORTFOLIO OPTIMIZATION $162 million ($1.31 per diluted share) of gains from the sale of approximately $750 million of Legacy Private Education Loans . This gain includes $91 million ($0.73 per diluted share) relating to an original acquisition discount on these loans. $29 million ($0.23 per diluted share) net reduction in the fair value (reflected in provision for loan losses) of approximate ly $1.4 billion of Legacy Private Education Loans as a result of classifying them as held for sale as of September 30, 2026. The company had established an allowance for loan losses in the amount of $92 million for these loans. CHANGES IN LOAN LOSS RESERVES (excluding allowance for loan losses on newly originated loans) $42 million ($0.34 per diluted share) benefit from the release of allowance for loan losses related to classifying approximat ely $1.0 billion of In-School Loans as held for sale at September 30, 2026. $178 million ($1.44 per diluted share) of provision for loan losses for Legacy Private Education Loans primarily related to recent and forecasted delinquencies and charge-offs persisting at elevated levels for a longer duration than previously anticipated. $33 million ($0.27 per diluted share) of provision for loan losses for Refinance Loans. These principally relate to loans originated prior to the change in credit policy for such loan originations beginning in 2024. $13 million ($0.10 per diluted share) of provision for loan losses for the FFELP government-guaranteed portfolio. This is primarily the result of an increase in premium allocated to future defaults, as well as the continued extension of the portfo lio. (1) Item is a non-GAAP financial measure. For a description and reconciliation, see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” on pages 18 – 28.

2 OTHER ITEMS $15 million ($0.12 per diluted share) benefit, principally from the receipt of insurance proceeds related to prior litigation . Financial statements for the quarter are attached to this release. Commenting on the results, Edward Bramson, CEO and chair of the board of directors, said, “These results continue Navient’s trend of growing originations while maintaining high credit quality. During the quarter, we also made further progress in diversifying our origination mix by increasing the proportion of In-School and Personal Loans. We continued the transition of our loan portfolios toward more market-based measures, classifying approximately $2.4 billion of additional loans as held for sale and electing the fair value option for newly originated In-School Loans. We also sold approximately $750 million of Legacy Private Education Loans at a gain as part of our ongoing portfolio optimization strategy. We are evaluating additional loan sales as we continue to optimize the portfolio and reallocate capital toward more strategic uses.” Navient will hold a live audio webcast today, November 4, 2026, at 5 p.m. ET, hosted by Edward Bramson, CEO and chair of the board, and Steve Hauber, CFO. The webcast will be available on Navient.com/investors. Supplemental financial information and presentation slides used during the call will be available no later than the start time.

Second-quarter 2026 excludes $528 million of Legacy Private Education Loans that were classified as held for sale as of June 30, 2026, and their corresponding delinquencies, forbearances and charge-offs. DISCUSSION OF RESULTS — 3Q26 vs. 3Q25 • Originated $1.4 billion of Consumer Loans, a 77% increase compared to $788 million. o Refinance Education Loan originations were $870 million compared to $528 million. o In-School Education Loan originations were $479 million compared to $260 million. o Personal Loan originations were $46 million compared to $0 million. • Net income was $2 million compared to net loss of $76 million. • Net interest income decreased $11 million, primarily due to the changing product mix with Refinance Education Loans increasing as a percentage of the portfolio. The Refinance Education Loan portfolio earns a lower net interest margin compared to the non-refinance portfolio, due to lower expected credit losses, which reduces the overall net interest margin. • Provision for loan losses increased $59 million. The provision for loan losses of $214 million in the current quarter included $16 million associated with loan originations and $29 million a result of classifying $1.4 billion of Legacy Private Education Loans as held for sale as of September 30, 2026. An additional $211 million of provision in the current quarter primarily relates to recent and forecasted delinquencies and charge-offs persisting at elevated levels for a longer duration than previously anticipated. This was partially offset by a $42 million decrease as a result of classifying $1.0 billion of In-School Education Loans as held for sale as of September 30, 2026. The

5 provision for loan losses of $155 million in the year-ago quarter included $17 million associated with loan originations and $138 million primarily the result of elevated delinquency balances as well as our forecasted macroeconomic outlook. o Net charge-offs were $59 million, down $37 million compared to $96 million in the year-ago quarter. o Private Education Loan delinquencies greater than 90 days: $274 million, down $159 million from $433 million. o Private Education Loan forbearances: $244 million, up $5 million from $239 million. • There were $162 million of gains on sale in the current period related to the sale of $750 million of Legacy Private Education Loans in connection with our broader effort to redeploy capital and align our balance sheet with today's lending products. There were no sales in the year-ago period. • There were $23 million of net fair value changes of loans related to electing the fair value option for In-School Education Loan originations beginning July 1, 2026. Of the $23 million net fair value changes of loans, $11 million relates to loans disbursed and recorded as loans on our balance sheet and $12 million relates to loan commitments to be disbursed in a future period (with the fair value of the lending commitment recorded in Other Assets on our balance sheet). • Expenses increased $12 million primarily reflecting seasonal marketing and other expenses associated with the growth of our consumer lending businesses. FEDERAL EDUCATION LOANS In this segment, Navient owns and manages a portfolio of FFELP federally guaranteed student loans.

The provision for loan losses of $13 million in the current period was primarily the result of an increase in premium allocated to future defaults, as well as the continued extension of the portfolio. The $13 million of provision for loan losses in the year-ago quarter was primarily the result of elevated delinquency balances, our forecasted macroeconomic outlook as well as the continued extension of the portfolio. o Net charge-offs were $11 million compared to $9 million. o Delinquencies greater than 90 days were $1.7 billion compared to $2.5 billion. o Forbearances were $3.1 billion compared to $3.7 billion. • Expenses were $3 million lower primarily as a result of the outsourcing of the loan servicing of our portfolio to a third party in 2024. This created a variable cost structure resulting in a reduction in expenses as the portfolio paid down.

10 GAAP COMPARISON OF 2026 RESULTS WITH 2025 Three Months Ended September 30, 2026 Compared with Three Months Ended September 30, 2025 For the three months ended September 30, 2026, net income was $15 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, compared with net loss of $86 million, or $0.87 per diluted share, for the year-ago period. The primary contributors to the change in net income are as follows: • Net interest income decreased by $27 million primarily due to an $18 million benefit in the year-ago period from a decrease in prepayment rate assumptions on FFELP Loans (reduced premium amortization) as well as the paydown of the FFELP portfolio and the Private Education Loan portfolio's changing product mix with Refinance Education Loans increasing as a percentage of the portfolio. The Refinance Education Loan portfolio earns a lower net interest margin compared to the non-refinance portfolio, due to lower expected credit losses, which reduces the overall net interest margin. • Provisions for loan losses increased $59 million from $168 million to $227 million. ○ The provision for Private Loan losses increased $59 million from $155 million to $214 million. ○ The provision for FFELP Loan losses remained unchanged at $13 million. The provision for Private Loan losses of $214 million in the current quarter included $16 million associated with loan originations and $29 million a result of classifying $1.4 billion of Legacy Private Education Loans as held for sale as of September 30, 2026. An additional $211 million of provision in the current quarter primarily relates to recent and forecasted delinquencies and charge-offs persisting at elevated levels for a longer duration than previously anticipated. This was partially offset by a $42 million decrease as a result of classifying $1.0 billion of In-School Education Loans as held for sale as of September 30, 2026. The provision for loan losses of $155 million in the year-ago quarter included $17 million associated with loan originations and $138 million primarily the result of elevated delinquency balances as well as our forecasted macroeconomic outlook. The provision for FFELP Loan losses of $13 million in the current period was primarily the result of an increase in premium allocated to future defaults, as well as the continued extension of the portfolio. The provision of $13 million in the year-ago quarter was primarily the result of an increase in delinquency balances, our forecasted macroeconomic outlook, as well as the continued extension of the portfolio. • Other income decreased $8 million primarily related to a $7 million decrease in transition services revenue we had earned related to our various strategic initiatives. The transition services related to the outsourcing of loan servicing and the sale of our healthcare services business ended in May 2025. The transition services related to the sale of our government services business ended in October 2025. • There were $162 million of gains on sale in the current period related to the sale of $750 million of Legacy Private Education Loans in connection with our broader effort to redeploy capital and align our balance sheet with today's lending products. There were no sales in the year-ago period. • There were $23 million of net fair value changes of loans related to electing the fair value option for In-School Education Loan originations beginning July 1, 2026. Of the $23 million net fair value changes of loans, $11 million relates to loans disbursed and recorded as loans on our balance sheet and $12 million relates to loan commitments to be disbursed in a future period (with the fair value of the lending commitment recorded in Other Assets on our balance sheet). Valuations of education loans fluctuate based upon many factors including changes in prepayment rates, loss rates and discount rates. As a result, net fair value changes of loans may vary significantly in future periods. • Net gains on derivative and hedging activities increased $9 million due primarily to interest rate fluctuations. Valuations of derivative instruments fluctuate based upon many factors including changes in interest rates and other market factors. As a result, net gains and losses on derivative and hedging activities may vary significantly in future periods. • Operating expenses decreased $30 million, $7 million of which was due to a decline in expenses in connection with providing transition services related to our various strategic initiatives. As of October 2025 we had no further obligations to provide these transition services. There was also a $16 million decrease in regulatory-related expenses primarily related to a $16 million benefit in the current period due to insurance proceeds received in connection with prior litigation matters. These decreases were offset by a $12 million increase in seasonal marketing and other expenses associated with the growth of our consumer lending businesses. The remaining $19 million decrease primarily relates to cost saving initiatives implemented, which have reduced our operating costs mostly in connection with our shared service functions and corporate footprint. • Restructuring and other reorganization expenses decreased $2 million primarily due to a decrease in severance-related costs incurred in connection with the various strategic initiatives that have been and continue to be implemented to simplify the company, continue to reduce our expense base and enhance our flexibility. • The effective income tax rates for the current and year-ago quarters were (18)% and 27%, respectively. The decrease in the effective income tax rate in the current quarter is due to changes in the valuation allowance attributed to state operating loss carryovers. We repurchased 1.1 million and 2.0 million shares of our common stock during the third quarters of 2026 and 2025, respectively. As a result of repurchases, our average outstanding diluted shares decreased by 4 million common shares (or 4%) from the year-ago period.

11 Nine Months Ended September 30, 2026 Compared with Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025 For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, net income was $56 million, or $0.59 per diluted share, compared with net loss of $75 million, or $0.75 per diluted share, for the year-ago period. The primary contributors to the change in net income are as follows: • Net interest income decreased by $32 million primarily due to the paydown of the FFELP portfolio and the Private Education Loan portfolio's changing product mix with Refinance Education Loans increasing as a percentage of the portfolio. The Refinance Education Loan portfolio earns a lower net interest margin compared to the non-refinance portfolio, due to lower expected credit losses, which reduces the overall net interest margin. In addition, there was an $18 million benefit in the year-ago period from a decrease in prepayment rate assumptions on FFELP Loans (reduced premium amortization). This was partially offset by a $21 million increase in mark-to-market gains on fair value hedges recorded in interest expense. • Provisions for loan losses increased $45 million from $236 million to $281 million. ○ The provision for Private Loan losses increased $44 million from $207 million to $251 million. ○ The provision for FFELP Loan losses increased $1 million from $29 million to $30 million. The provision for Private Loan losses of $251 million in the current period included $42 million associated with loan originations and $10 million a result of classifying $2.0 billion of Legacy Private Education Loans as held for sale during the period. An additional $241 million of provision in the current period primarily relates to recent and forecasted delinquencies and charge-offs persisting at elevated levels for a longer duration than previously anticipated. This was partially offset by a $42 million decrease as a result of classifying $1.0 billion of In-School Education Loans as held for sale as of September 30, 2026. The provision of $207 million in the year-ago period included $32 million associated with loan originations and $175 million primarily the result of elevated delinquency balances as well as our forecasted macroeconomic outlook. The provision for FFELP Loan losses of $30 million in the current period was primarily the result of increased charge-offs due to prior disaster forbearance volume, as well as the continued extension of the portfolio. The provision of $29 million in the year-ago period was primarily the result of an increase in delinquency balances, our forecasted macroeconomic outlook, as well as the continued extension of the portfolio. • Asset recovery and business processing revenue decreased $23 million as a result of the sale of our government services business in February 2025. With the sale of our government services business, Navient no longer provides business processing segment services. • Other income decreased $21 million primarily related to a $32 million decrease in transition services revenue we had earned related to our various strategic initiatives. The transition services related to the outsourcing of loan servicing and the sale of our healthcare services business ended in May 2025. The transition services related to the sale of our government services business ended in October 2025. This $32 million decrease was partially offset by a $12 million gain on an investment in the current period. • There were $162 million of gains on sale in the current period related to the sale of $750 million of Legacy Private Education Loans in connection with our broader effort to redeploy capital and align our balance sheet with today's lending products. There were no sales in the year-ago period. • There were $23 million of net fair value changes of loans related to electing the fair value option accounting model for In-School Education Loan originations beginning July 1, 2026. Of the $23 million net fair value changes of loans, $11 million relates to loans disbursed and recorded as loans on our balance sheet and $12 million relates to loan commitments to be disbursed in a future period (with the fair value of the lending commitment recorded in Other Assets on our balance sheet). Valuations of education loans fluctuate based upon many factors including changes in prepayment rates, loss rates and discount rates. As a result, net fair value changes of loans may vary significantly in future periods. • Net gains on derivative and hedging activities increased $45 million due primarily to interest rate fluctuations. Valuations of derivative instruments fluctuate based upon many factors including changes in interest rates and other market factors. As a result, net gains and losses on derivative and hedging activities may vary significantly in future periods. • Operating expenses decreased $87 million, $23 million of which was due to a decline in business processing expenses as a result of the sale of our government services business in February 2025 ($20 million of the reduction is in the Business Processing segment and $3 million of the reduction is in the Other segment). In addition, there was a $30 million decline in expenses in connection with providing transition services related to our various strategic initiatives. As of October 2025, we had no further obligations to provide these transition services. There was also a $17 million decrease in regulatory-related expenses primarily related to a $16 million benefit in the current period due to insurance proceeds received in connection with prior litigation matters. These decreases were offset by a $23 million increase in marketing and other expenses associated with the growth of our consumer lending businesses. The remaining $40 million decrease primarily relates to cost saving initiatives implemented, which have reduced our operating costs mostly in connection with our shared service functions and corporate footprint. • Restructuring and other reorganization expenses decreased $2 million primarily due to a decrease in severance-related costs incurred in connection with the various strategic initiatives that have been and continue to be implemented to simplify the company, continue to reduce our expense base and enhance our flexibility. We repurchased 3.7 million and 6.4 million shares of our common stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and September 30, 2025, respectively. As a result of repurchases, our average outstanding diluted shares decreased by 5 million common shares (or 5%) from the year-ago period.

For Private Education Loans, we charge off the estimated loss of a defaulted lo an balance by charging off the entire defaulted loan balance and estimating recoveries on a pool basis. These estimated recoveries are referred to as “expected future recoveries on previously fully charged -off loans.” For FFELP Loans, the recovery is received at the time of charge -off. (2) Three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 include $121 million of write -offs related to $1.4 billion of Legacy Private Education Loans that were classified as held for sale as of September 30, 2026. When loans are first classified as held for sale, if the fair value is lower than the carrying value then the expected losses related to credit are first recorded as provision for loan losses and the allowance for loan losses associated with those items is written off, establish ing a new cost basis. (3) At the end of each month, for Private Education Loans that are 212 or more days past due, we charge off the estimated loss of a defaulted loan balance by charging off the entire loan balance and estimating recoveries on a pool basis. These estimated recoveries are referred to as “expected future recoveries on previously fully charged -off loans.” If actual periodic recoveries are less than expected, the difference is immediately reflected as a reduction to expected future recover ies on previously fully charged-off loans. If actual periodic recoveries are greater than expected, they will be reflected as a recovery through the allowance for Private Educati on Loan losses once the cumulative recovery amount exceeds the cumulative amount originally expected to be recovered. The following table summarizes the activity in the expected future recoveries on previously fully charged -off loans: QUARTERS ENDED NINE MONTHS ENDED (Dollars in millions) September 30, 2026 June 30, 2026 September 30, 2025 September 30, 2026 September 30, 2025 Beginning of period expected future recoveries on previously fully charged-off loans $ 163 $ 166 $ 172 $ 170 $ 179 Expected future recoveries of current period defaults 9 11 16 31 39 Recoveries (cash collected) (9 ) (10 ) (9 ) (29 ) (30 ) Charge-offs (as a result of lower recovery expectations) (6 ) (4 ) (6 ) (15 ) (15 ) End of period expected future recoveries on previously fully charged-off loans $ 157 $ 163 $ 173 $ 157 $ 173 Change in balance during period $ (6 ) $ (3 ) $ 1 $ (13 ) $ (6 ) (4) For Private Education Loans, the item is a non-GAAP financial measure.

16 LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES We expect to fund our ongoing liquidity needs, including the repayment of $0.7 billion of senior unsecured notes that mature in the short term (i.e., over the next 12 months) and the remaining $4.6 billion of senior unsecured notes that mature in the long term (from 2027 to 2043 with 78% maturing by 2032), through a number of sources. These sources include our cash on hand, unencumbered FFELP Loan and Refinance Education Loan portfolios (see “Sources of Primary Liquidity” below), the predictable operating cash flows provided by operating activities, the repayment of principal on unencumbered education loan assets, and the distribution of overcollateralization from our securitization trusts. We may also, depending on market conditions and availability, draw down on our secured FFELP Loan and Private Education Loan asset- backed commercial paper (ABCP) facilities, issue term asset-backed securities (ABS), enter into additional Private Education Loan and FFELP Loan ABS repurchase facilities, or issue additional unsecured debt. We originate Consumer Loans (a portion of which is obtained through a forward purchase agreement). We also have purchased and may purchase, in future periods, Private Education Loan portfolios from third parties. Those originations and purchases are part of our ongoing liquidity needs. We repurchased 1.1 million shares of common stock for $10 million in the third quarter of 2026.

17 Sources of Additional Liquidity Liquidity may also be available under our secured credit facilities. Maximum borrowing capacity under the FFELP Loan and Private Education Loan ABCP facilities will vary and be subject to each agreement’s borrowing conditions, including, among others, facility size, current usage and availability of qualifying collateral from unencumbered loans. The following tables detail the additional borrowing capacity of these facilities with maturity dates ranging from November 2026 to April 2028.

Total unencumbered education loans comprised $912 million of our unencumbered tangible assets of which $867 million and $45 million related to Private Education Loans and FFELP Loans, respectively. In addition, as of September 30, 2026, we had $5.0 billion of encumbered net assets (i.e., overcollateralization) in our various financing facilities (consolidated variable interest entities). We enter into repurchase facilities at times to borrow against the encumbered net assets of these financing vehicles. As of September 30, 2026, $0.5 billion of repurchase facility borrowings were outstanding. The following table reconciles encumbered and unencumbered assets and their net impact on total Tangible Equity. (Dollars in billions) September 30, 2026 June 30, 2026 September 30, 2025 Net assets of consolidated variable interest entities (encumbered assets) — Private Education Loans $ 2.5 $ 2.3 $ 2.0 Net assets of consolidated variable interest entities (encumbered assets) — FFELP Loans 2.5 2.6 2.7 Tangible unencumbered assets(1) 2.5 2.7 2.8 Senior unsecured debt (5.3 ) (5.3 ) (5.3 ) Mark-to-market on unsecured hedged debt(2) .2 — — Other liabilities, net (.4 ) (.3 ) (.2 ) Total Tangible Equity (3) $ 2.0 $ 2.0 $ 2.0 (1) Excludes goodwill and acquired intangible assets.

(3) Item is a non-GAAP financial measure. For a description and reconciliation, see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

18 NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES In addition to financial results reported on a GAAP basis, Navient also provides certain performance measures which are non-GAAP financial measures. We present the following non-GAAP financial measures: (1) Core Earnings, (2) Tangible Equity (as well as the Adjusted Tangible Equity Ratio) and (3) Allowance for Loan Losses Excluding Expected Future Recoveries on Previously Fully Charged-off Loans. Definitions for the non-GAAP financial measures and reconciliations are provided below, except that reconciliations of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures are not provided because the Company is unable to provide such reconciliations without unreasonable effort due to the uncertainty and inherent difficulty of predicting the occurrence and financial impact of certain items, including, but not limited to, the impact of any mark-to-market gains/losses resulting from our use of derivative instruments to hedge our economic risks. 1. Core Earnings We prepare financial statements and present financial results in accordance with GAAP. However, we also evaluate our business segments and present financial results on a basis that differs from GAAP. We refer to this different basis of presentation as Core Earnings. We provide this Core Earnings basis of presentation on a consolidated basis and for each business segment because this is what we review internally when making management decisions regarding our performance and how we allocate resources. We also refer to this information in our presentations with credit rating agencies, lenders and investors. Because our Core Earnings basis of presentation corresponds to our segment financial presentations, we are required by GAAP to provide certain Core Earnings disclosures in the notes to our consolidated financial statements for our business segments. Core Earnings are not a substitute for reported results under GAAP. We use Core Earnings to manage our business segments because Core Earnings reflect adjustments to GAAP financial results for two items, discussed below, that can create significant volatility mostly due to timing factors generally beyond the control of management. Accordingly, we believe that Core Earnings provide management with a useful basis from which to better evaluate results from ongoing operations against the business plan or against results from prior periods. Consequently, we disclose this information because we believe it provides investors with additional information regarding the operational and performance indicators that are most closely assessed by management. When compared to GAAP results, the two items we remove to result in our Core Earnings presentations are: (1) Mark-to-market gains/losses resulting from our use of derivative instruments to hedge our economic risks that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment or do qualify for hedge accounting treatment but result in ineffectiveness; and (2) The accounting for goodwill and acquired intangible assets. While GAAP provides a uniform, comprehensive basis of accounting, for the reasons described above, our Core Earnings basis of presentation does not. Core Earnings are subject to certain general and specific limitations that investors should carefully consider. For example, there is no comprehensive, authoritative guidance for management reporting. Our Core Earnings are not defined terms within GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Accordingly, our Core Earnings presentation does not represent a comprehensive basis of accounting. Investors, therefore, may not be able to compare our performance with that of other financial services companies based upon Core Earnings. Core Earnings results are only meant to supplement GAAP results by providing additional information regarding the operational and performance indicators that are most closely used by management, our Board of Directors, credit rating agencies, lenders and investors to assess performance.

Under GAAP, for our derivatives that are held to maturity, the mark-to-market gain or loss over the life of the contract will equal $0. In our Core Earnings presentation, we recognize the economic effect of these hedges, which generally results in any net settlement cash paid or received being recognized ratably as an interest expense or revenue over the hedged item’s life.

Under our Core Earnings presentation, these settlements are reclassified to the income statement line item of the economically hedged item. For our Core Earnings net interest income, this would primarily include reclassifying the net settlement amounts related to certain of our interest rate swaps to debt interest expense. The table below summarizes these net settlements on derivative and hedging activities and the associated reclassification on a Core Earnings basis.

We believe that these derivatives are effective economic hedges,and as such, are a critical element of our interest rate risk management strategy. (3) Other derivative accounting adjustments consist of adjustments related to certain terminated derivatives that did not receive hedge accounting treatment under GAAP but were economic hedges under Core Earnings and, as a result, such gains or losses are amortized into Core Earnings over the life of the hedged item:

26 Cumulative Impact of Derivative Accounting under GAAP compared to Core Earnings As of September 30, 2026, derivative accounting has increased GAAP equity by approximately $35 million as a result of cumulative net mark-to-market losses (after tax) recognized under GAAP, but not in Core Earnings. The following table rolls forward the cumulative impact to GAAP equity due to these after-tax mark-to-market net gains and losses related to derivative accounting.

Hedging Embedded Floor Income We use pay-fixed swaps and fixed rate debt to economically hedge embedded Floor Income in our FFELP loans. Historically, we have used these instruments on a periodic basis and depending upon market conditions and pricing, we may enter into additional hedges in the future. Under GAAP, the pay-fixed swaps are accounted for as cash flow hedges. The table below shows the amount of Hedged Floor Income that will be recognized in Core Earnings in future periods based on these hedge strategies. September 30, June 30, September 30, (Dollars in millions) 2026 2026 2025 Total hedged Floor Income, net of tax(1)(2) $ 16 $ 20 $ 31 (1) $21 million, $26 million and $41 million on a pre-tax basis as of September 30, 2026, June 30, 2026, and September 30, 2025, respectively. (2) Of the $16 million as of September 30, 2026, approximately $3 million, $7 million and $6 million will be recognized as part of Core Earnings net income in the remainder of 2026, 2027 and 2028, respectively.

We adjust this ratio to exclude the assets and equity associated with our FFELP Loan portfolio because FFELP Loans are no longer originated and the FFELP Loan portfolio bears a 3% maximum loss exposure under the terms of the federal guaranty. Management believes that excluding this portfolio from the ratio enhances its usefulness to investors. Management uses this ratio, in addition to other metrics, for analysis and decision making related to capital allocation decisions. The Adjusted Tangible Equity Ratio is calculated as: (Dollars in millions) September 30, 2026 June 30, 2026 September 30, 2025 Stockholders' equity $ 2,435 $ 2,398 $ 2,439 Less: Goodwill and acquired intangible assets 430 430 435 Tangible Equity 2,005 1,968 2,004 Less: Equity held for FFELP Loans 129 133 145 Adjusted Tangible Equity $ 1,876 $ 1,835 $ 1,859 Divided by: Total assets $ 46,128 $ 47,297 $ 49,306 Less: Goodwill and acquired intangible assets 430 430 435 FFELP Loans 25,898 26,575 28,952 Adjusted tangible assets $ 19,800 $ 20,292 $ 19,919 Adjusted Tangible Equity Ratio 9.5 % 9.0 % 9.3 %

Allowance for Loan Losses Excluding Expected Future Recoveries on Previously Fully Charged -off Loans The allowance for loan losses on the Private Education Loan portfolio used for the three credit metrics below excludes the expected future recoveries on previously fully charged-off loans to better reflect the current expected credit losses remaining in connection with the loans on balance sheet that have not charged off. As of September 30, 2026, the $456 million Private Education Loan allowance for loan losses excluding expected future recoveries on previously fully charged-off loans represents the current expected credit losses that remain in connection with the $12,979 million Private Education Loan portfolio. The $157 million of expected future recoveries on previously fully charged-off loans, which is collected over an average 15-year period, mechanically is a reduction to the overall allowance for loan losses. However, it is not related to the $12,979 million Private Education Loan portfolio on our balance sheet and, as a result, management excludes this impact to the allowance to better evaluate and assess our overall credit loss coverage on the Private Education Loan portfolio. We believe this provides a more meaningful and holistic view of the available credit loss coverage on our non-charged-off Private Education Loan portfolio. We believe this information is useful to our investors, lenders and rating agencies.

Second-quarter 2026 excludes $528 million of Legacy Private Education Loans, and their corresponding charge-offs, that were classified as held for sale as of June 30, 2026.
