Summary

PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. (PNC) filed an amended quarterly report (10-Q/A) for the period ending June 30, 2001, primarily to restate its financial statements for the second and third quarters of 2001. The restatements were due to the consolidation of an entity following a review by the Federal Reserve Board staff and corrections related to the accounting for the sale of its residential mortgage banking business. For the six months ended June 30, 2001, PNC reported net income of $560 million ($1.89 per diluted share), a decrease from $623 million ($2.09 per diluted share) in the same period of 2000. The company continues its strategic shift towards higher-valued businesses like asset management and processing, while downsizing traditional lending portfolios. This is reflected in a decrease in the loan-to-deposit ratio and an increase in noninterest income as a percentage of total revenue.
