ALLIANCE DATA SYSTEMS CORPORATION (NYSE:ADS) Files An 8-K Regulation FD Disclosure

In response to numerous investor questions regarding its press release issued January 16, 2018 providing an update on its Card Services segment that reported a December 2017 year over year increase in average receivables of 10% to $17.77 billion, Alliance Data Systems Corporation is providing the following additional information. Excluding the December 2017 sale of two non-core credit card portfolios totaling approximately $800 million in average receivables, the year over year increase in average receivables would have been 15%. These sales had a temporary negative impact to December 2017 and our guidance for receivables growth in 2018 remains 15%.
