PNC FINANCIAL SERVICES GROUP, INC. Quarterly Report for Q2 Ended Jun 30, 2009

Summary

PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. reported net income of $207 million ($0.14 per diluted share) for the second quarter of 2009, a significant decrease from $517 million ($1.45 per diluted share) in the same period of the prior year. This decline is largely attributed to increased provisions for credit losses, reflecting the ongoing economic downturn. Despite the challenging environment, total revenue grew to $4.0 billion, driven by the inclusion of National City's operations and strong noninterest income sources. The company continues to focus on integrating National City, reporting that cost savings are ahead of schedule and contributing to a strong pre-tax, pre-provision earnings of $1.3 billion. Capital levels strengthened during the quarter, with the Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio increasing to 10.5% and the Tier 1 common capital ratio to 5.3%. This improvement was supported by a $624 million common equity issuance in May. While the company has reduced its common stock dividend to $0.10 per share to conserve capital, its liquidity position remains strong with an 87% loan-to-deposit ratio.
