Confidential and proprietary information.© 2023 Sallie Mae Bank. All rights reserved. 2 Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements The following information is current as of December 31, 2022 (unless otherwise noted) and should be read in connection with the press release of SLM Corporation (the "Company") dated February 1, 2023 announcing its financial results for the quarter and full year that ended December 31, 2022 (the "Earnings Press Release"), and subsequent reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). This report contains "forward-looking" statements and information based on management's current expectations as of the date of this report. Statements that are not historical facts, including statements about our beliefs, opinions, or expectations and statements that assume or are dependent upon future events, are forward-looking statements. This includes, but is not limited to: statements regarding future developments surrounding COVID-19 or any other pandemic, including, without limitation, statements regarding the potential impact of COVID- 19 or any other pandemic on the Company's business, results of operations, financial condition, and/or cash flows; our expectation and ability to pay a quarterly cash dividend on our common stock in the future, subject to the determination by our Board of Directors, and based on an evaluation of our earnings, financial condition and requirements, business conditions, capital allocation determinations, and other factors, risks, and uncertainties; the Company's 2023 guidance; the Company's three-year horizon outlook; the Company's expectation and ability to execute loan sales and share repurchases; the Company's projections regarding originations, net charge-offs, non-interest expenses, earnings, balance sheet position and other metrics; any estimates related to accounting standard changes; and any estimates related to the impact of credit administration practices changes, including the results of simulations and other behavioral observations. Forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions, and other factors that may cause actual results to be materially different from those reflected in such forward-looking statements. These factors include, among others, the risks and uncertainties set forth in Item 1A. "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (filed with the SEC on February 24, 2022) and subsequent filings with the SEC; the societal, business, and legislative/regulatory impact of pandemics and other public heath crises; increases in financing costs; limits on liquidity; increases in costs associated with compliance with laws and regulations; failure to comply with consumer protection, banking, and other laws; changes in accounting standards and the impact of related changes in significant accounting estimates, including any regarding the measurement of the Company's allowance for loan losses and the related provision expense; any adverse outcomes in any significant litigation to which we are a party; credit risk associated with our exposure to third-parties, including counterparties to our derivative transactions; and changes in the terms of education loans and the educational credit marketplace (including changes resulting from new laws and the implementation of existing laws). We could also be affected by, among other things: changes in our funding costs and availability; reductions to our credit ratings; cybersecurity incidents, cyberattacks, and other failures or breaches of our operating systems or infrastructure, including those of third- party vendors; damage to our reputation; risks associated with restructuring initiatives, including failures to successfully implement cost-cutting programs and the adverse effects of such initiatives on our business; changes in the demand for educational financing or in financing preferences of lenders, educational institutions, students, and their families; changes in law and regulations with respect to the student lending business and financial institutions generally; changes in banking rules and regulations, including increased capital requirements; increased competition from banks and other consumer lenders; the creditworthiness of our customers; changes in the general interest rate environment, including the rate relationships among relevant money-market instruments and those of our earning assets versus our funding arrangements; rates of prepayment on the loans that we own; changes in general economic conditions and our ability to successfully effectuate any acquisitions; and other strategic initiatives. The preparation of our consolidated financial statements also requires us to make certain estimates and assumptions, including estimates and assumptions about future events. These estimates or assumptions may prove to be incorrect. All forward-looking statements contained in this report are qualified by these cautionary statements and are made only as of the date of this report. We do not undertake any obligation to update or revise these forward- looking statements to conform such statements to actual results or changes in our expectations. The Company reports financial results on a GAAP basis and also provides certain non-GAAP "Core Earnings" performance measures. The difference between the Company's non-GAAP "Core Earnings" and GAAP results for the periods presented were the unrealized, mark-to-fair value gains/losses on derivative contracts (excluding current period accruals on the derivative instruments), net of tax. These are recognized in GAAP, but not in non-GAAP "Core Earnings" results. The Company provides a non-GAAP "Core Earnings" measure because it is one of several measures management uses when making management decisions regarding the Company's performance and the allocation of corporate resources. The Company's non-GAAP "Core Earnings" is not a defined term within GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. For additional information, see the Earnings Press Release and our previous 2022 filings with the SEC.

(1) Please see pages 18 & 19 for a description and explanation of the data and calculations underlying these charts. (2) Data for all loans from initial disbursement, whether or not scheduled payments are due. Voluntary CPR includes only voluntary prepayments. (3) Loans in a particular annual Disbursement Vintage are disbursed at different times during the Disbursement Vintage year. Prepayment data is not reported for loans in a particular annual Disbursement Vintage until all loans in that annual Disbursement Vintage have been disbursed. Once reporting starts, data reflects prepayments that occurred in a particular period based on the number of months all loans in that annual Disbursement Vintage have been disbursed. For example, in the charts above: (i) prepayment data reported for loans in the 2021 Disbursement Vintage represents prepayments occurring during the first 12 months (i.e., first four quarters) after a loan was disbursed regardless of the month in 2021 during which such loan was disbursed; and (ii) prepayment data for loans in the 2020 Disbursement Vintage represents prepayments occurring during the first 24 months (i.e., first eight quarters) after a loan was disbursed regardless of the month in 2020 during which such loan was disbursed. 0% 5% 10% 15% 20% 25% 1 3 5 7 9 11 13 15 17 19 21 23 25 27 % C P R Quarters Since Disbursement Smart Option Student Loans - Serviced Portfolio: All Products Voluntary CPR by Disbursement Vintage (1), (2), (3) 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 0% 5% 10% 15% 20% 25% 1 3 5 7 9 11 13 15 17 19 21 23 25 27 % C P R Quarters Since Disbursement Smart Option Student Loans - Serviced Portfolio: Interest Only Voluntary CPR by Disbursement Vintage (1), (2), (3) 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 0% 5% 10% 15% 20% 25% 1 3 5 7 9 11 13 15 17 19 21 23 25 27 % C P R Quarters Since Disbursement Smart Option Student Loans - Serviced Portfolio: Fixed Pay Voluntary CPR by Disbursement Vintage (1), (2), (3) 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 0% 5% 10% 15% 20% 25% 1 3 5 7 9 11 13 15 17 19 21 23 25 27 % C P R Quarters Since Disbursement Smart Option Student Loans - Serviced Portfolio: Deferred Voluntary CPR by Disbursement Vintage (1), (2), (3) 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021
