10-QPeriod: Q2 FY2012

PNC FINANCIAL SERVICES GROUP, INC. Quarterly Report for Q2 Ended Jun 30, 2012

Filed August 8, 2012For Securities:PNC

Summary

PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. reported its second quarter 2012 results, showing a notable increase in total revenue driven by the significant acquisition of RBC Bank (USA) in March 2012. Despite the revenue growth, net income attributable to common shareholders decreased by 40% compared to the prior year's quarter. This decline was primarily due to higher provisions for residential mortgage repurchase obligations, non-cash charges related to the redemption of trust preferred securities, and increased integration costs associated with the RBC acquisition. The company's balance sheet expanded significantly, with total assets growing by $28.4 billion, largely due to the RBC acquisition, which also contributed to a stronger deposit base and a larger loan portfolio. Capital ratios remained robust, though Tier 1 common capital and Tier 1 risk-based capital ratios saw a slight decrease post-acquisition, largely due to the integration of goodwill and risk-weighted assets. The company also took strategic actions to manage its capital structure, including preferred stock issuance and trust preferred securities redemptions.

Frequently Asked Questions

The acquisition of RBC Bank (USA) in March 2012 significantly expanded PNC's balance sheet, adding $18.1 billion in deposits and $14.5 billion in loans. It boosted total revenue by 17% year-over-year due to the full quarter benefit of its operations. However, it also contributed to an increase in goodwill and other intangible assets, and the integration process led to higher noninterest expenses and integration costs, which negatively impacted net income.

The decline in net income was primarily driven by several factors: a substantial increase in the provision for residential mortgage repurchase obligations ($438 million in Q2 2012 vs. $21 million in Q2 2011), non-cash charges of $130 million related to the redemption of trust preferred securities, and higher integration costs of $52 million associated with the RBC Bank (USA) acquisition. These items significantly reduced net income despite an increase in total revenue.

Overall credit quality showed improvement. Nonperforming assets decreased by 4% during the quarter, and net charge-offs declined by 24% compared to the prior year's second quarter. Reflecting this improvement, the provision for credit losses decreased to $256 million in the second quarter of 2012 from $280 million in the same period of 2011, although the RBC acquisition required some offsetting credit provisions.

PNC maintained strong capital levels. The Tier 1 common capital ratio was 9.3% at June 30, 2012, down from 10.3% at December 31, 2011. The Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio decreased to 11.4% from 12.6%, and the total risk-based capital ratio declined to 14.2% from 15.8%. These decreases were primarily due to the RBC Bank (USA) acquisition, which increased goodwill and risk-weighted assets. However, the company noted that its capital levels were aligned with regulatory expectations and that it planned to reach its Basel III Tier 1 common capital ratio goals by year-end 2013.
