In addition to financial results reported on a GAAP basis, Navient also provides certain performance measures which are non-GAAP financial measures. The following non-GAAP financial measures are presented within this Earnings Release:

1. Core Earnings

The difference between the company’s Core Earnings and its GAAP results is attributable to (1) mark-to-market gains/losses on derivatives and (2) goodwill and acquired intangible asset amortization and impairment. While these items are recognized under GAAP, they are excluded from Core Earnings results. Management uses Core Earnings in making decisions regarding the company’s performance and the allocation of corporate resources and, as a result, our segment results are presented using Core Earnings. In addition, Navient’s equity investors, credit rating agencies and debt capital investors use these Core Earnings measures to monitor the company’s business performance. See Core Earnings on pages 13 - 21 for a reconciliation between GAAP net income and Core Earnings.

2. Tangible Net Asset Ratio

This ratio measures the amount of assets available to retire the company’s unsecured debt. Management and Navient’s equity investors, credit rating agencies and debt capital investors use this ratio to monitor and make decisions about the appropriate level of unsecured funding required. See “Tangible Net Asset Ratio” on page 22 for a reconciliation of the tangible net asset ratio calculation.

3. Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization Expense (“EBITDA”)

This metric measures the amount of operating cash flow generated by the Business Processing segment and is used by management and equity investors to monitor operating performance and determine the value of those fee-based businesses. See “Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization Expense (‘EBITDA’)” on page 22 for a reconciliation of the EBITDA calculation for the Business Processing segment.

We present the results of operations below first on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP. Following our discussion of consolidated earnings results on a GAAP basis, we present our results on a segment basis. We have four reportable operating segments: Federal Education Loans, Consumer Lending, Business Processing and Other. These segments operate in distinct business environments and we manage and evaluate the financial performance of these segments using non-GAAP financial measures we call Core Earnings (see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures — Core Earnings” for further discussion).

Three Months Ended June 30, 2018 Compared with Three Months Ended June 30, 2017

For the three months ended June 30, 2018, net income was $83 million, or $0.31 diluted earnings per common share, compared with net income of $112 million, or $0.39 diluted earnings per common share, for the three months ended June 30, 2017. The decrease in net income was primarily due to a $53 million decrease in net interest income, a $7 million increase in the provisions for loan losses, and a $15 million increase in net losses on derivative and hedging activities. This was partially offset by a $29 million decrease in operating expenses and a $30 million decrease in income tax expense.

The primary contributors to each of the identified drivers of changes in net income for the current quarter compared with the year-ago quarter are as follows:

We repurchased 10.9 million shares of our common stock during the second-quarter 2017. There were no repurchases in the current quarter. As a result of repurchases made prior to 2018, our average outstanding diluted shares decreased by 16 million common shares (or 6 percent) from the year-ago period.

As of January 1, 2018, we adopted Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” We determined there was no material change in the timing of our recognition of our asset recovery and business processing revenue or expenses and we did not record a cumulative adjustment as of January 1, 2018 as a result of the adoption of ASC 606. In connection with ASC 606, we recognized $1 million of business processing revenue and $1 million of expenses in second-quarter 2018 related to a contract in our Business Processing segment that would have not been recognized under the prior accounting standard until later in 2018.

The new guidance does not apply to financial instruments and transfers and servicing that are accounted for under other U.S. GAAP. Accordingly, the new revenue recognition guidance does not have an impact on our recognition of revenue and costs associated with our loan portfolios, investments, derivatives and servicing contracts. However, we

11

considered the ASC 606 principal versus agent guidance with respect to certain asset recovery guarantor servicing contracts pursuant to which we serve in a portfolio management role and use third-party collection agencies. We determined that we are required under the new accounting standard to reflect payments to third-party collection agencies as revenue and operating expense. Under the prior accounting standards, we netted payments to third-party collection agencies against revenue. We adopted the new accounting standard using the “cumulative effect transition adjustment” which results in prospectively making this change in 2018. This change in accounting policy resulted in both asset recovery revenue and operating expense in the Federal Education Loan segment being $9 million higher in second-quarter 2018 with no impact on net income.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2018 Compared with Six Months Ended June 30, 2017

For the six months ended June 30, 2018, net income was $210 million, or $0.78 diluted earnings per common share, compared with net income of $200 million, or $0.69 diluted earnings per common share, for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The increase in net income was primarily due to a $13 million decrease in the provisions for loan losses, a $49 million increase in net gains on derivative and hedging activities, and a $49 million decrease in income tax expense. This was partially offset by a $65 million decrease in net interest income and a $7 million increase in operating expenses.

The primary contributors to each of the identified drivers of changes in net income for the current six-month period compared with the year-ago six-month period are as follows:

We repurchased 18.3 million shares of our common stock during the six months ended June 30, 2017. There were no repurchases in the current period. As a result of repurchases made prior to 2018, our average outstanding diluted shares decreased by 22 million common shares (or 8 percent) from the year-ago period.

In connection with ASC 606, we recognized $9 million of business processing revenue and $6 million of expenses in the six months ended June 30, 2018 related to a contract in our Business Processing segment that would have not been recognized under the prior accounting standard until later in 2018. This change in accounting policy also resulted in both

12

asset recovery revenue and operating expense in the Federal Education Loan segment being $18 million higher in the six months ended June 30, 2018 with no impact on net income.

In addition to financial results reported on a GAAP basis, Navient also provides certain performance measures which are non-GAAP financial measures. The following non-GAAP financial measures are presented within this Earnings Release: (1) Core Earnings, (2) Tangible Net Asset Ratio and (3) EBITDA for the Business Processing segment.

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 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 Core Earnings disclosure 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 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:

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. The following tables show Core Earnings for each business segment and our business as a whole along with the adjustments made to the income/expense items to reconcile the amounts to our reported GAAP results as required by GAAP.
