Summary
PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. reported solid results for the second quarter of 2014, with net income attributable to common shareholders of $1,001 million, or $1.85 per diluted share. This represents a slight decrease from the same quarter in the prior year, primarily due to a 6% decline in total revenue, which was more than offset by a 3% reduction in noninterest expense and a lower provision for credit losses. The company demonstrated continued improvement in credit quality, with nonperforming assets decreasing by 8% sequentially. The balance sheet remains strong, with total loans increasing by 3% and total deposits growing by 1% quarter-over-quarter. PNC also continued to enhance its capital position, with a pro forma fully phased-in Basel III common equity Tier 1 capital ratio of 10.0% at June 30, 2014, up from 9.4% at the end of 2013, reflecting prudent capital management and successful capital actions including a dividend increase and share repurchases as approved by the Federal Reserve. The company's strategic priorities remain focused on organic customer growth, deepening client relationships, and expanding in key markets, including the Southeast. While net interest income and net interest margin declined due to lower yields and purchase accounting accretion, fee income from asset management and corporate services showed strength. Management anticipates modest pressure on net interest income in the near term due to continued declines in purchase accounting accretion and interest rate spread compression, but remains focused on disciplined expense management and expects full-year 2014 noninterest expense to be down compared to 2013.
