PNC FINANCIAL SERVICES GROUP, INC. Quarterly Report for Q1 Ended Mar 31, 2010

Filed May 7, 2010For Securities:PNC

Summary

PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. reported a net income of $671 million for the first quarter of 2010, a significant increase from $530 million in the same period of the prior year. Diluted earnings per share were $0.66, down from $1.03 year-over-year. Total revenue rose to $3.76 billion from $3.69 billion, driven by a strong net interest income of $2.38 billion, which benefited from deposit repricing and a reduction in lower-yielding deposits. The company successfully redeemed its $7.6 billion TARP preferred stock on February 10, 2010, utilizing proceeds from a recent common stock offering and other available funds. This action significantly improved PNC's capital ratios, with the Tier 1 common capital ratio increasing to 7.9% from 6.0% at year-end 2009. PNC is actively managing its business portfolio, with a pending sale of its Global Investment Servicing (GIS) business for $2.3 billion expected to close in the third quarter of 2010, which will result in a substantial after-tax gain. The integration of National City continues to progress, with expected annualized cost savings now projected to exceed $1.5 billion by the fourth quarter of 2010, ahead of schedule. While the provision for credit losses decreased from the prior year, nonperforming assets saw a slight increase, though the pace of deterioration showed signs of easing.

Frequently Asked Questions

PNC Financial Services Group reported a significant increase in net income to $671 million in the first quarter of 2010, up from $530 million in the first quarter of 2009. This improvement was driven by higher total revenue, primarily from increased net interest income, and a lower provision for credit losses. However, diluted earnings per share decreased to $0.66 from $1.03 due to a higher number of outstanding shares and preferred dividends.

A major capital management action was the redemption of its $7.6 billion TARP preferred stock on February 10, 2010. This was funded by proceeds from a common stock offering, which, combined with strong quarterly earnings, led to a substantial increase in the Tier 1 common capital ratio to 7.9% from 6.0% at the end of 2009.

PNC is proceeding with the sale of its Global Investment Servicing (GIS) business for $2.3 billion, with an expected closing in the third quarter of 2010, which is anticipated to generate a significant after-tax gain. The integration of National City is also progressing well, with cost savings expected to exceed $1.5 billion annually by the end of 2010, ahead of original expectations.

The provision for credit losses declined to $751 million compared to $880 million in the prior year's quarter. While nonperforming assets saw a slight increase to $6.5 billion, the pace of deterioration in credit quality appears to be easing, indicating a potential stabilization in asset quality.
