PNC 8-K Current Reports

PNC FINANCIAL SERVICES GROUP, INC. 8-K Report, Regulation FD Disclosure (Oct 15, 2026)

PNC Financial Services Group reported third-quarter 2026 results on October 15, 2026, as presented in the earnings slides furnished under Item 7.01 (Exhibit 99.1). GAAP diluted EPS was $4.97 and adjusted diluted EPS was $5.09 (non-GAAP), on net income of $2.1 billion. Results were driven by growth in average loans, which rose $9.0 billion (2%) linked quarter and 14% year over year, and deposits, which grew 1% linked quarter. Net interest income increased 2% linked quarter to $4.2 billion, while noninterest income fell 15% linked quarter to $2.4 billion, largely because of prior-quarter Visa share exchange gains. Expense discipline produced positive operating leverage, with pretax, pre-provision earnings (non-GAAP) up 1% linked quarter and 15% year over year. Credit quality remained solid, with the NPL ratio at 0.58% and net charge-offs at 0.28% of average loans, up from 0.25% in the prior quarter. The allowance for credit losses fell to 1.42% of total loans. Capital remained strong, with an estimated CET1 ratio of 9.8%, and PNC returned $1.4 billion to shareholders, including $0.6 billion of buybacks. Full-year 2026 guidance was raised for average loans (to up about 13.5%), net interest income (up about 15.5%) and noninterest income (up about 10.5%), while the fourth-quarter outlook calls for a net interest margin of 3.0% or higher. The filing itself is a short Regulation FD disclosure that furnishes the slide deck, so the substance lies in the exhibit. Investors should note that the slides are non-GAAP heavy, that the 2026 expense guidance excludes roughly $300 million of merger and integration costs, and that the tangible book value per share declined 3% linked quarter because of higher AOCI losses.

PNC FINANCIAL SERVICES GROUP, INC. 8-K Report, Financial Results (Oct 15, 2026)

PNC Financial Services Group reported third quarter 2026 net income of $2.1 billion, or $4.97 diluted EPS ($5.09 as adjusted for integration costs and significant items), up from $4.35 in 3Q25. Revenue of $6.6 billion fell 5% sequentially because elevated 2Q26 capital markets activity and Visa-related gains did not recur, though revenue rose 11% year over year. Net interest income grew 2% sequentially to $4.2 billion, and net interest margin was 2.94%. Return on average tangible common equity was 18.3%, and the efficiency ratio improved to 57% from 60%. Adjusted noninterest expense fell 3% sequentially, with the FirstBank integration contributing to the year-over-year increase. Balance sheet growth was broad-based, led by commercial loans. Average loans rose 2% sequentially to $372.2 billion, and period-end deposits increased 4% to $466.4 billion. Credit quality showed modest pressure: net charge-offs rose to $257 million (including $35 million tied to the transfer of a $1.4 billion student loan portfolio to held-for-sale), and nonperforming loans rose 8% to $2.2 billion, driven by commercial loans. The allowance for credit losses fell to 1.42% of total loans from 1.48%. Capital remained solid, with a CET1 ratio of 9.8% (estimated), but it declined from 9.9% as AOCI worsened to negative $6.5 billion. PNC returned $1.4 billion to shareholders and declared a $2.00 quarterly dividend, and management expects fourth-quarter buybacks to approximate third-quarter levels. The company's outlook assumes two more Federal Reserve rate hikes, which PNC expects would bring the federal funds rate to 4.25%–4.50%. Investors should watch the rising AOCI drag on tangible book value, which fell to $107.64 from $111.09 in the prior quarter, along with commercial credit trends and the durability of fee income after the strong second quarter.

PNC FINANCIAL SERVICES GROUP, INC. 8-K Report, Corporate Update (Sep 29, 2026)

PNC Financial Services Group announced in an 8-K filed September 29, 2026 that it will redeem all 525,000 outstanding Depositary Shares representing interests in its Fixed-to-Floating Rate Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series S (CUSIP 693475 AQ8). The redemption date is November 1, 2026, which shifts to November 2, 2026 because November 1 is a non-business day. Each Depositary Share is redeemed at $1,000, for an aggregate redemption amount of $525 million. Each Depositary Share represents a 1/100th interest in a share of Series S Preferred Stock. The redemption price excludes declared but unpaid dividends. Any semiannual dividend that has been declared but not paid before the redemption date will be paid on that date to holders of record on a date set by PNC's board. Payment is routed through DTC and Computershare Trust Company, N.A., the Depositary, under the Deposit Agreement. The filing does not state the dividend rate, the reason for the redemption, or the effect on PNC's capital ratios. For investors, this is a routine capital-management event: PNC is retiring $525 million of perpetual preferred equity at par-equivalent value. The filing does not disclose a new issuance, a financial impact, or a change to PNC's outlook, so the event is best read as a balance-sheet housekeeping action rather than a signal about earnings or credit quality.

PNC FINANCIAL SERVICES GROUP, INC. 8-K Report, Regulation FD Disclosure (Jul 15, 2026)

PNC Financial Services Group reported strong second-quarter 2026 results, with net income of $2.055 billion and diluted EPS of $4.81 (GAAP). Excluding integration costs related to the FirstBank acquisition and net significant items, adjusted diluted EPS was $4.85, up 12% from the linked quarter and 26% year over year. The results were driven by a 4% linked-quarter increase in average loans to $363.2 billion (up 13% year over year), record net interest income of $4.107 billion, and fee income growth of 10% sequentially (20% year over year), led by capital markets and advisory activity. Adjusted noninterest expense rose only 5% sequentially, producing positive operating leverage. Credit quality improved across the key indicators. Nonperforming loans fell to 0.55% of total loans from 0.62% in the prior quarter, net charge-offs were 0.25% of average loans, and the allowance for credit losses declined to 1.48% of total loans. Provision for credit losses was $191 million. Return on average tangible common equity rose to 17.88%, and tangible book value per share increased 2% sequentially to $111.09. The Basel III CET1 ratio, estimated at 9.9%, declined 20 basis points from the prior quarter, though PNC still returned $1.3 billion to shareholders in the quarter and announced an 18% dividend increase to $2.00 per common share. Looking ahead, PNC raised its full-year 2026 outlook, now calling for average loan growth of about 12.5%, net interest income growth of 15% to 15.5%, and total revenue growth of about 13%, with noninterest expense growth of about 8.5%, all excluding integration costs. Third-quarter guidance is more mixed: average loans are expected to rise 1% to 2%, net interest income 3% to 3.5%, and fee income to fall 5% to 5.5% from the strong second-quarter level, while adjusted expenses are expected to decline 2% to 3%. Investors should note that the second quarter included a $224 million net pretax benefit from significant items, primarily a $448 million gain on the Visa share exchange, partly offset by a $139 million securities restructuring loss and a $85 million Visa Class B-3 derivative adjustment, as well as a $140 million PNC Foundation contribution.

PNC FINANCIAL SERVICES GROUP, INC. 8-K Report, Financial Results (Jul 15, 2026)

PNC Financial Services reported second-quarter 2026 net income of $2.1 billion, or $4.81 diluted EPS ($4.85 as adjusted for FirstBank integration costs and 2Q26 significant items), up from $4.13 in the first quarter and $3.85 a year ago. Total revenue rose 12% sequentially to a record $6.9 billion, with net interest income up 4% to $4.1 billion, noninterest income up 26% to $2.8 billion, and fee income up 10%, led by record capital markets and advisory revenue. Positive operating leverage was 3%, pretax pre-provision earnings rose 16%, and ROTCE improved to 17.9%. Results include a $448 million gain from the Visa exchange program, partly offset by a $139 million securities loss from a roughly $4 billion repositioning, a $140 million PNC Foundation contribution, and $85 million of Visa B-3 derivative adjustments. Credit and balance sheet trends were solid. Average loans grew $12.3 billion (4%) sequentially, driven by commercial lending, while average deposits were stable at $457 billion. Net charge-offs fell to $226 million (0.25% annualized), nonperforming loans declined 10% to $2.0 billion, and the allowance ratio was 1.48%. The CET1 ratio was an estimated 9.9%, down from 10.1%, as PNC returned $1.3 billion to shareholders, including $0.6 billion of buybacks. The board raised the quarterly dividend 18% to $2.00 per share, and third-quarter buybacks are expected to be similar to the second quarter's pace. The FirstBank conversion was completed on June 22, 2026, adding roughly 780,000 customers and 95 branches in Colorado and Arizona. Investors should weigh the strong underlying fee and lending momentum against a lower CET1 ratio, higher borrowed funds (up $16 billion sequentially to $78.9 billion on average), and a continued unrealized securities loss position of $2.1 billion. The company's baseline outlook assumes a Federal Reserve hold at 3.50% to 3.75% through 2027, with risks skewed toward tighter policy given persistent inflation.

PNC FINANCIAL SERVICES GROUP, INC. 8-K Report, Regulation FD Disclosure (Jun 22, 2026)

PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. filed this Form 8-K under Item 7.01 (Regulation FD) to disclose the completion of the customer and branch conversion of FirstBank into PNC Bank, National Association. PNC first announced completion of its acquisition of FirstBank Holding Company on January 5, 2026. In connection with the conversion, FirstBank merged with and into PNC Bank at 11:59 p.m. ET on June 18, 2026, with PNC Bank as the surviving entity. The filing is primarily an operational and integration milestone rather than a financial-results event, and it contains no quantitative financial data such as earnings, capital ratios, or purchase price. According to the attached press release (Exhibit 99.1), the conversion covered approximately 780,000 customers, more than 1,620 employees, and 95 branches across Colorado and Arizona. Former FirstBank customers gain access to PNC's digital banking, treasury management, wealth management, and nationwide branch and ATM network. Management states the combined company operates roughly 2,400 branch locations and 58,000 PNC and partner ATMs. The press release frames the milestone as strengthening PNC's presence in Colorado and Arizona and expanding its capacity to serve consumers and businesses. For investors, the key items to monitor are execution risk and realization of expected cost savings and synergies. The forward-looking statements caution that synergies may not be fully realized or may take longer than anticipated, and that integration could prove more costly or difficult than expected. Completing the conversion removes a significant integration milestone, but the filing itself does not quantify synergy targets, integration costs, or remaining timelines, so investors should refer to PNC's periodic reports and earnings materials for those details.

PNC FINANCIAL SERVICES GROUP, INC. 8-K Report, Executive Changes (Apr 24, 2026)

PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. held its annual shareholder meeting on April 22, 2026, where key corporate governance and compensation matters were decided. The most significant outcome for investors is the shareholder approval of the 2026 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan, which authorizes the issuance of up to 28 million shares of common stock plus any remaining shares from the prior plan for executive and employee incentives. This plan allows for various award types, including stock options, restricted shares, and performance-based awards, aligning employee and executive compensation with shareholder interests. Additionally, the meeting saw the overwhelming re-election of all 13 director nominees and the ratification of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the independent auditor for 2026. An advisory vote also approved the compensation of named executive officers. These results indicate strong shareholder confidence in the current board and the company's financial oversight and compensation strategies.

PNC FINANCIAL SERVICES GROUP, INC. 8-K Report, Financial Results (Apr 15, 2026)

PNC Financial Services Group reported first quarter 2026 net income of $1.77 billion, or $4.13 diluted EPS ($4.32 as adjusted excluding $98 million of pre-tax FirstBank integration costs), compared with $3.51 in 1Q25 and $4.88 in 4Q25. The quarter was the first to include FirstBank Holding Company, acquired January 5, 2026 with roughly $26 billion of assets, $16 billion of loans and $23 billion of deposits. Revenue rose 2% sequentially to $6.2 billion and 13% year over year, with net interest income up 6% sequentially to $3.96 billion and net interest margin expanding 11 basis points to 2.95%. Fee income fell 2% sequentially, mainly on a $31 million mortgage servicing rights valuation decline, and noninterest expense rose 5% (2% excluding integration costs). Balance sheet growth was driven by FirstBank and legacy commercial lending. Average loans grew 7% sequentially to $350.9 billion, and period-end loans rose 9% to $360.9 billion, including $15.5 billion acquired from FirstBank. Average deposits rose 4% to $458.4 billion. Credit costs moved higher: net charge-offs were $253 million (0.29% annualized), including $45 million of acquired charge-offs, and the provision was $210 million versus $139 million in 4Q25. Excluding acquired charge-offs, net charge-offs rose $46 million on higher commercial losses. Nonperforming loans were stable at $2.2 billion, or 0.62% of total loans. Capital remained solid but thinner after the deal. The estimated CET1 ratio fell to 10.1% from 10.6%, largely due to goodwill and intangibles from the acquisition, and PNC returned $1.4 billion to shareholders in the quarter. Management guided to $600 million to $700 million of share repurchases in 2Q26 and declared a $1.70 quarterly dividend payable May 5, 2026.

PNC FINANCIAL SERVICES GROUP, INC. 8-K Report, Regulation FD Disclosure (Apr 15, 2026)

PNC Financial Services Group's Form 8-K furnishes the slides used on its April 15, 2026 first-quarter 2026 earnings call (Item 7.01 / Exhibit 99.1). The headline story is a larger, FirstBank-driven balance sheet: average loans rose 7% linked quarter and 11% year over year to $350.9 billion, and deposits grew 4% linked quarter to $458.4 billion after the FirstBank acquisition closed on January 5, 2026. Net interest income reached $3,961 million (up 6% LQ, 14% YoY) and the net interest margin expanded to 2.95%. GAAP net income was $1.77 billion and diluted EPS $4.13, down 15% linked quarter but up 18% year over year; adjusted diluted EPS excluding $98 million of integration costs was $4.32 (non-GAAP). Credit quality looks stable on the headline metrics: nonperforming loans fell to 0.62% of total loans from 0.67%, though net charge-offs rose to 0.29% of average loans (0.24% excluding $45 million of acquired charge-offs). The Basel III CET1 ratio declined 50 bps to an estimated 10.1% as the company returned $1.4 billion to shareholders, including $0.7 billion of buybacks, and tangible book value per share fell 3% linked quarter to $109.42 amid the acquisition-related share issuance and AOCI losses. Forward guidance points to continued growth: for 2Q26, PNC expects average loans up 2% to 3%, net interest income up about 3%, and net charge-offs near $225 million. For full-year 2026, management raised average loan growth expectations to about 11% (from about 8%) and net interest income growth to about 14.5% (from about 14%), while keeping total revenue growth near 11% and noninterest expense growth near 7% excluding roughly $325 million of integration expense. The baseline macro outlook assumes the Federal Reserve holds rates at 3.50%-3.75% through 2027, with an extended Iran conflict and energy prices flagged as key risks.

PNC FINANCIAL SERVICES GROUP, INC. 8-K Report, Regulation FD Disclosure (Jan 16, 2026)

PNC Financial Services Group closed out 2025 with strong results, reporting full-year net income of $7.0 billion, or $16.59 diluted EPS (up 21% year-over-year), on record total revenue of $23.1 billion (up 7%) and record net interest income and noninterest income. Management delivered 5% positive operating leverage, with noninterest expense up only 2% against 7% revenue growth, and pretax, pre-provision earnings (non-GAAP) rose 15% to $9.3 billion. Fourth-quarter net income was $2.0 billion ($4.88 diluted EPS), and tangible book value per share climbed 18% year-over-year to $112.51. Credit quality remained solid, with a full-year net loan charge-off ratio of 0.20% in the quarter cited and a 4Q25 NCO ratio of 0.20%, though the allowance for credit losses to total loans edged down to 1.58%. The most consequential development is the January 5, 2026 closing of the $4.2 billion FirstBank acquisition (70% stock, 30% cash), which adds roughly $16 billion in loans, $23 billion in deposits, and 95 branches in Colorado and Arizona. Management expects the deal to be immediately accretive, add about $1 to EPS in 2027, and generate an estimated ~25% internal rate of return, with roughly $325 million in one-time integration costs, mostly recognized in the first half of 2026. The deal drives PNC's 2026 guidance: average loans up ~8%, net interest income up ~14%, total revenue up ~11%, and adjusted noninterest expense up ~7%, with an effective tax rate near 19.5%. Capital and liquidity both strengthened, with the estimated Basel III CET1 ratio at 10.6% and deposits growing 3% year-over-year, led by commercial deposits. Investors should weigh the acquisition-driven share dilution (Q1 2026 average diluted shares guided to ~406 million versus 394 million in 4Q25), the sensitivity of net interest income to the rate path, and the company's macro assumptions of slowing GDP growth near 2% and a federal funds rate falling to 3.00%–3.25% by fall 2026.

PNC FINANCIAL SERVICES GROUP, INC. 8-K Report, Financial Results (Jan 16, 2026)

PNC Financial Services Group reported strong fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 results on January 16, 2026, with full-year net income of $7.0 billion ($16.59 diluted EPS, up roughly 21% from $13.74) and record revenue of $23.1 billion, up 7% and producing 5% positive operating leverage. Fourth-quarter net income was $2.0 billion ($4.88 diluted EPS) on record revenue of $6.1 billion, up 3% sequentially and 9% year over year. Growth was broad-based: net interest income reached a record $3.7 billion with net interest margin up 5 basis points to 2.84%, fee income rose 3% sequentially on higher capital markets and advisory activity, and average loans and deposits both grew. Efficiency improved to 59% for the quarter and 60% for the year, and credit metrics were stable, with net charge-offs of 0.20% annualized and a fourth-quarter provision of $139 million. Capital remained solid, with an estimated CET1 ratio of 10.6% and tangible book value per share up 4% to $112.51. PNC returned $1.1 billion to shareholders in the quarter and expects first-quarter 2026 buybacks of roughly $600 million to $700 million, signaling higher repurchases. The board also declared a $1.70 quarterly dividend. Tax expense was unusually low at a 12.7% effective rate because of favorable resolution of several tax matters, which flatters the quarter's EPS and should be considered when assessing run-rate earnings. Looking ahead, PNC closed its acquisition of FirstBank on January 5, 2026, adding about $26 billion in assets, $16 billion in loans and $23 billion in deposits. FirstBank will be consolidated beginning in the first quarter of 2026, so future results will reflect a larger balance sheet and integration execution will be a key focus. Management's baseline outlook calls for slower 2026 economic growth of around 2%, with the Federal Reserve expected to hold rates in the first half and cut modestly in the second half.

PNC FINANCIAL SERVICES GROUP, INC. 8-K Report, Rights Modification (Jan 5, 2026)

On January 5, 2026, PNC Financial Services Group completed its acquisition of FirstBank Holding Company, the Lakewood, Colorado-based parent of FirstBank, through a two-step merger (a First Step Merger followed by a Second Step Merger with FirstBank merging into PNC). The filing is largely administrative in nature: PNC filed a Statement with Respect to Shares with the Pennsylvania Secretary of State establishing a new series of preferred stock, the 7.250% Fixed-Rate Reset Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series X ($1,000 par value), and issued 115,200 Series X shares to former holders of FirstBank's Series B preferred stock. The Series X authorization covers 200,000 shares in total. The Series X shares rank senior to PNC common stock and junior-ranking capital, and on parity with other PNC preferred series that expressly rank pari passu. They carry no conversion rights, and PNC cannot pay dividends on junior securities unless full dividends on Series X for the most recent period have been paid or set aside. For investors, the key takeaways are the completion of a transaction that expands PNC's footprint in high-growth markets, particularly Colorado and Arizona, and the new preferred stock's terms. The board declared a quarterly Series X dividend of $18.13 per share, payable January 29, 2026, to holders of record as of January 15, 2026. The press release states that FirstBank customers will continue to be served through existing channels until customer conversion, which is expected in summer 2026. Management frames the deal as a strategic step toward national expansion. The filing does not disclose purchase price, deal financials, or expected cost synergies in this document, and it cautions that synergies may not be fully realized or may take longer than expected, and that integration could be delayed or costlier than planned. The 8-K itself contains no new financial results, guidance, or balance sheet data. Investors seeking the transaction's valuation, capital impact, or earnings contribution should consult the Merger Agreement, the Form S-4 and proxy statement/prospectus, and PNC's subsequent periodic reports.

PNC FINANCIAL SERVICES GROUP, INC. 8-K Report, Regulation FD Disclosure (Dec 12, 2025)

On December 12, 2025, The PNC Financial Services Group (NYSE: PNC) announced it has received all regulatory approvals required to complete its previously announced acquisition of FirstBank Holding Company, the parent of FirstBank, one of the largest privately held banks in the U.S. The approvals came from the Federal Reserve Board, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, and the Colorado Division of Banking. The transaction is expected to close on or about January 5, 2026, subject to customary closing conditions. This filing is a Regulation FD disclosure furnished under Item 7.01 and does not itself disclose new financial terms, purchase price, or financial results. Strategically, the deal expands PNC's footprint in the Rocky Mountain region and the Southwest, particularly Colorado and Arizona, which aligns with management's stated goal of building a coast-to-coast franchise. Post-closing, PNC plans to integrate FirstBank onto its national platform, emphasizing treasury management, payments, and digital banking, with full customer conversion expected in mid-2026. The Merger Agreement contemplates issuance of PNC common stock to FirstBank shareholders, so dilution is a relevant consideration for existing investors. For investors, the key takeaways are that the primary regulatory hurdle has been cleared and the closing timeline is well defined, but execution risks remain. These include realizing cost savings and synergies on schedule, integration complexity, customer and employee retention, the dilutive effect of new share issuance, and the possibility of higher-than-expected transaction costs. The filing refers readers to the Form S-4 and Proxy Statement/Prospectus for complete deal details.

PNC FINANCIAL SERVICES GROUP, INC. 8-K Report, Financial Results (Nov 7, 2025)

PNC Financial Services Group furnished slides from a November 7, 2025 presentation by CFO Robert Q. Reilly and Head of Retail Banking Alexander Overstrom at the BancAnalysts Association of Boston Conference. The filing is an Item 2.02 disclosure (no new GAAP financial statements were filed), and the presentation centers on the Retail Banking segment rather than consolidated results. Management highlights a retail franchise with ~$243 billion in YTD average deposits (56% of PNC total), ~$97 billion in average loans, ~15 million customers, and a 4th-largest U.S. branch network. The key financial message is operating leverage: Retail Banking revenue grew from $7.4 billion (YTD 2022) to $11.1 billion (YTD 2025), a ~14% CAGR, while noninterest expense was flat at $5.7 billion, lifting pretax, pre-provision earnings (non-GAAP) from $1.8 billion to $5.4 billion (more than 3x). Management also reported consumer DDA sales per branch up 30% and digital consumer DDA sales up 6% year over year in 2025, with non-GAAP fee income of $5.8 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, up from $5.5 billion a year earlier. For investors, the growth story is a planned branch expansion, with ~60 annual builds through 2030 and a target of more than 300 new branches, alongside a mobile banking relaunch in 2026, the FirstBank acquisition, and a wealth and credit card push with a long-term card penetration target above 50%. The presentation also lays out a macro baseline of slowing 2025-2026 growth, two 25-basis-point Fed cuts to a 3.25%-3.50% range, and a peak unemployment rate above 4.5% in mid-2026. Investors should weigh the strong PPNR trajectory against the cost of expansion, rate sensitivity, and the forward-looking risks disclosed.

The CET1 ratio edged up to an estimated 10.6%, and PNC returned $1.0 billion to shareholders through dividends and buybacks. Its planned $4.1 billion acquisition of FirstBank, announced September 8, 2025 and expected to close in early 2026, would more than triple its Colorado branch network and expand its Arizona presence. Net interest margin slipped 1 bp to 2.79%, and Visa derivative adjustments were a $35 million drag on other income.

PNC FINANCIAL SERVICES GROUP, INC. 8-K Report, Regulation FD Disclosure (Oct 15, 2025)

PNC Financial Services Group's third quarter 2025 results, presented on an October 15, 2025 earnings call and furnished under Item 7.01 of this 8-K, show a strong quarter. Net income was $1.8 billion, or $4.35 per diluted share, up 25% year over year. Total revenue reached a record $5.9 billion, up 4% linked quarter and 9% year over year, driven by net interest income of $3.6 billion (up 7% YoY) and fee income (non-GAAP) of $2.1 billion (up 9% LQ). Noninterest expense rose only 2% linked quarter to $3.5 billion, leaving the efficiency ratio at 58.5%, an improvement from 61.2% a year earlier. Credit quality remained strong. The net loan charge-off ratio fell to 0.22% from 0.36% a year ago, and nonperforming loans were 0.65% of total loans. Balance sheet growth was modest but broad: average loans rose 1% linked quarter to $325.9 billion, average deposits rose 2% to $431.8 billion, and the CET1 ratio improved to 10.6%. Tangible book value per share grew 11% year over year to $107.84. Management also announced an agreement to acquire FirstBank, which it says will accelerate growth in key strategic markets. Looking ahead, management guided to stable-to-up 1% average loans, net interest income up about 1.5%, fee income down about 3%, and total revenue stable to down 1% for 4Q25, with noninterest expense up 1% to 2%. Key risks flagged include a slowing economy, tariffs, a potential government shutdown, and the uncertain path of Federal Reserve rate cuts. The filing itself contains only the earnings slides, so investors should review the earnings release and the FirstBank transaction terms for further detail.

PNC FINANCIAL SERVICES GROUP, INC. 8-K Report, Regulation FD Disclosure (Sep 8, 2025)

PNC Financial Services Group (NYSE: PNC) has entered into a definitive Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated September 5, 2025, to acquire FirstBank Holding Company, the Lakewood, Colorado-based parent of FirstBank. FirstBank reported $26.8 billion in assets as of June 30, 2025 and operates 95 branches, with a leading position in Colorado and a substantial presence in Arizona. The transaction is structured as a merger of a PNC subsidiary into FirstBank Holdco, followed by FirstBank Holdco merging into PNC, with PNC as the surviving entity. The headline economics are a transaction value of about $4.1 billion, consisting of a fixed number of roughly 13.9 million PNC common shares plus $1.2 billion in cash, with FirstBank stockholders able to elect stock or cash subject to limitations. Management argues the deal would more than triple PNC's Colorado branch network to 120, make PNC the #1 retail deposit franchise in Denver (about 20% deposit share, 14% branch share per SNL Financial, with deposits per branch capped at $1 billion), and extend its Arizona footprint to more than 70 branches. Shareholders holding about 45.7% of FirstBank's shares have signed voting and support agreements. The deal still requires FirstBank shareholder approval, regulatory approvals, and other customary closing conditions, with closing expected in early 2026. Investors should weigh the dilution from new PNC shares, the cash outlay, integration and synergy-realization risk, and the regulatory review timeline. The filing itself is a Regulation FD disclosure furnishing the press release and supplemental materials; the full merger agreement terms and financial projections will be detailed in the forthcoming Form S-4 and proxy statement/prospectus.

PNC FINANCIAL SERVICES GROUP, INC. 8-K Report, Financial Results (Jul 16, 2025)

PNC Financial Services Group reported second quarter 2025 net income of $1.6 billion, or $3.85 diluted EPS, up from $3.51 in the first quarter and $3.39 a year earlier. Total revenue rose 4% sequentially to $5.7 billion, and PNC generated 4% positive operating leverage, with pretax, pre-provision earnings (PPNR, non-GAAP) up 10% quarter over quarter. Growth was led by net interest income (up 2% to $3.6 billion, with NIM expanding 2 bps to 2.80%) and fee income (up 3% to $1.9 billion), while other noninterest income rose to $212 million on Visa-related activity and positive valuation adjustments. Noninterest expense was flat at $3.4 billion, and the efficiency ratio improved to 60% from 62%. Balance sheet trends were constructive. Average loans grew $6.1 billion (2%) to $322.8 billion, driven by a 4% increase in commercial and industrial loans, while commercial real estate continued to shrink. Credit quality was stable to improving: net charge-offs were $198 million (0.25% annualized), nonperforming loans fell 8% to $2.1 billion, and the allowance for credit losses was 1.62% of total loans. The provision rose to $254 million, reflecting macroeconomic scenario changes, tariff considerations and loan growth. Tangible book value per share increased 4% to $103.96, and the CET1 ratio was an estimated 10.5%. Capital return remained robust. PNC returned $1.0 billion to shareholders in the quarter, and the board raised the quarterly dividend 10 cents to $1.70 per share, payable August 5, 2025. Share repurchases of $300-400 million are expected in the third quarter. The stress capital buffer remains at the 2.5% regulatory minimum. Management's outlook notes elevated macro risk from tariffs, with the baseline forecast calling for roughly 1.5% GDP growth in 2025 and 2026 and unemployment rising toward 4.5%.

PNC Financial Services Group's second quarter 2025 earnings call slides, furnished under Item 7.01 of this 8-K, show a quarter of solid growth. Net income was $1.6 billion ($3.85 diluted EPS, up 10% linked quarter and 14% year over year), total revenue rose 4% linked quarter to $5.66 billion, and pretax, pre-provision earnings (PPNR) grew 10% to $2.28 billion. Average loans grew 2% linked quarter, the strongest linked-quarter growth since 4Q22, led by Corporate & Institutional Banking. Net interest margin expanded to 2.80% from 2.78%, and the company held noninterest expense flat, producing positive operating leverage. Credit quality improved across the board. Nonperforming loans fell to 0.65% of total loans from 0.72% in the prior quarter, delinquencies declined to 0.40%, and net charge-offs dropped to 0.25% annualized of average loans. The Basel III CET1 ratio was an estimated 10.5%, with the stress capital buffer held at the 2.5% regulatory minimum. The board announced a 6% dividend increase to $1.70 per common share. The guidance for the rest of 2025 is mixed. Full-year total revenue is expected to rise about 6% and average loans about 1%, with the effective tax rate near 19%. For 3Q25, the company expects net interest income to rise about 3% and noninterest expense to rise about 2%, while net charge-offs are guided to $275–$300 million, well above the $198 million in 2Q25. The presentation also flags downside risks from tariffs, slower growth and a possible rise in unemployment, and it notes that the office CRE portfolio remains a watch item with a 21.0% NPL ratio.

PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. filed an 8-K on April 24, 2025, detailing a leadership transition and the outcomes of its annual shareholder meeting held on April 23, 2025. Chief Operating Officer E William Parsley III will transition to an Executive Advisor role effective July 1, 2025, and will remain with the company through December 31, 2025, during which time he will be eligible for severance benefits and continued vesting of outstanding equity awards, contingent upon standard release and restrictive covenant compliance.

Additionally, shareholders provided advisory approval for the compensation of named executive officers with strong majority support. These events signal a planned leadership change within PNC's operational structure while also confirming continued confidence in the company's governance and financial oversight. Investors can view the COO transition as a planned succession that includes provisions for executive compensation and equity awards, mitigating immediate concerns about departing leadership. The strong shareholder votes on director elections and auditor ratification suggest a stable and supportive investor base, reinforcing confidence in the current management and audit practices.

PNC FINANCIAL SERVICES GROUP, INC. 8-K Report, Financial Results (Apr 15, 2025)

PNC Financial Services Group reported first quarter 2025 net income of $1.5 billion, or $3.51 diluted EPS, down from $3.77 in the fourth quarter of 2024 but up from $3.10 a year earlier. Total revenue was $5.45 billion, down 2% sequentially, reflecting two fewer days in the quarter, seasonality and a slowdown in capital markets activity. Net interest income fell 1% to $3.48 billion, but net interest margin expanded 3 basis points to 2.78% on lower funding costs and fixed-rate asset repricing. Noninterest expense declined 3% to $3.39 billion, largely because of $97 million of asset impairments recognized in the fourth quarter, and the efficiency ratio improved to 62%. Credit quality was broadly stable. Net loan charge-offs fell to $205 million (0.26% annualized) from $250 million, while the provision for credit losses rose to $219 million from $156 million. Nonperforming loans were stable at $2.3 billion, and the allowance for credit losses held at 1.64% of total loans. Delinquencies rose 4% to $1.4 billion, driven mainly by consumer forbearance tied to the California wildfires. Average loans declined 1% and average deposits fell 1%, while period-end loans grew 1% on commercial and industrial growth of 3%. Capital remained strong. The estimated CET1 ratio rose to 10.6% with CECL now fully reflected in regulatory capital, tangible book value per share increased 5% to $100.40, and AOCI improved to negative $5.2 billion. PNC returned $0.8 billion to shareholders through $0.6 billion of dividends and $0.2 billion of buybacks. Management reiterated its expectation of record net interest income and positive operating leverage in 2025, while cautioning that tariff-related downside risks have increased materially.

PNC FINANCIAL SERVICES GROUP, INC. 8-K Report, Regulation FD Disclosure (Apr 15, 2025)

PNC Financial Services Group's Item 7.01 Form 8-K, furnished April 15, 2025, provides the slide deck for its first-quarter 2025 earnings call. The company reported net income of $1.5 billion and diluted EPS of $3.51, down 8% and 7% linked quarter, but up 12% and 13% year over year. Results were supported by a 6% year-over-year rise in total revenue, net interest margin expansion to 2.78% (up 3 bps linked quarter and 21 bps year over year), a 2% year-over-year decline in noninterest expense, and improving credit metrics, with the net charge-off ratio at 26 bps and nonperforming loans down to 0.72% of total loans. Balance sheet trends were mixed. Average total loans fell 1% linked quarter to $316.6 billion, driven by lower commercial real estate balances, while spot commercial and industrial (C&I) loans grew $4.7 billion. Deposits were stable at $420.6 billion. Capital strengthened, with the Basel III CET1 ratio rising to 10.6% and tangible book value per share increasing 5% linked quarter to $100.40. Accumulated other comprehensive income improved to a $5.2 billion loss from $6.6 billion at year-end 2024, supporting the book value recovery. Management left full-year 2025 guidance unchanged, calling for average loans to be stable, net interest income up 6% to 7%, noninterest income up about 5%, total revenue up about 6%, and noninterest expense up about 1%, with an effective tax rate near 19%. The presentation notes that downside risks to the economic outlook have increased materially because of recent U.S. tariff changes, and that the company's baseline now assumes slower growth and two additional federal funds rate cuts in 2025. The filing is a furnished presentation rather than a financial statement release, so it contains no audited statements and no new guidance beyond the earnings slides.

PNC FINANCIAL SERVICES GROUP, INC. 8-K Report, Executive Changes (Apr 7, 2025)

On April 7, 2025, PNC Financial Services Group announced the appointment of Mark Wiedman as President of the Corporation and of PNC Bank, National Association, effective immediately. The Board made the appointment on April 3, 2025. Wiedman, 54, is a former Senior Managing Director and Head of the Global Client Business at BlackRock, and previously led BlackRock's iShares and Index Investments franchise. He reports to Chairman and CEO William S. Demchak, and PNC's primary operating lines of business and the Regional Presidents Office will now report to him. The filing describes this as a growth-oriented hire meant to scale the bank's client base, product offering, and technology capabilities, following a 2024 in which PNC strengthened customer relationships and achieved positive operating leverage. For investors, the appointment signals a potential succession-oriented and growth-focused leadership structure beneath the CEO, with a senior executive who has deep asset management and distribution experience. The compensation package is substantial but largely performance- and retention-linked: a $700,000 base salary, a $1,000,000 signing bonus subject to a two-year clawback on voluntary departure, a one-time equity award with a grant-date value of $5,200,000 (RSUs of $3,120,000 and PSUs of $2,080,000 at target), and a 2025 prorated target incentive opportunity of $7,350,000. Most of the direct cost is in equity, which vests over time or in February 2028, aligning his interests with long-term shareholders. The filing is primarily a personnel disclosure. It does not report any financial results, guidance changes, or material transactions, and it notes no related-party transactions or family relationships. Investors should watch for how the new President's mandate and any strategic initiatives are defined in future earnings calls and filings, as well as the timing of the equity grants and any changes to the reporting structure.

Effective February 14, 2025, the Human Resources Committee approved changes to Restricted Share Unit (RSU) and Performance Share Unit (PSU) awards. These changes are designed to provide greater clarity and continuity for executive compensation in the event of certain terminations. Specifically, the revised terms ensure that if an officer experiences a qualifying termination (without cause or for good reason), any unvested RSU and PSU awards will continue to vest and be paid out as originally scheduled, contingent on the officer's continued adherence to award terms. This provides executive retention incentives and predictability in compensation outcomes even if employment ends under specific circumstances, aligning with common executive compensation practices.

PNC FINANCIAL SERVICES GROUP, INC. 8-K Report, Financial Results (Jan 16, 2025)

PNC Financial Services Group reported fourth-quarter and full-year 2024 results on January 16, 2025, with full-year 2024 net income of $6.0 billion ($5,953 million) and diluted EPS of $13.74, up from $12.79 in 2023. The company describes the year as generating positive operating leverage: total revenue rose to $21.6 billion (roughly flat year over year), while noninterest expense fell 3.5% to $13.5 billion, helped by lower FDIC special assessments and the absence of 2023 workforce reduction charges. Fourth-quarter net income was $1.6 billion ($3.77 diluted EPS), up 8% from the third quarter, with net interest income up 3% and net interest margin expanding 11 basis points to 2.75%. Balance sheet and capital metrics were mixed but generally solid. Average loans were stable at $319.1 billion, average deposits rose $3.1 billion sequentially to $425.3 billion, and the CET1 ratio strengthened to an estimated 10.5% from 10.3% in the prior quarter. Tangible book value per share was $95.33, up from $85.08 a year earlier, though it fell slightly from $96.98 in the third quarter as accumulated other comprehensive income declined to negative $6.6 billion. Credit quality showed modest improvement, with net charge-offs of $250 million (0.31% annualized) and nonperforming loans declining 10% sequentially, though delinquencies rose 8% on higher commercial loan delinquencies. Full-year net charge-offs of $1.04 billion were up significantly from $710 million in 2023. For investors, the key takeaways are continued earnings growth and margin recovery alongside a strengthened capital position, with PNC returning $0.9 billion to shareholders in the quarter. The company's Q4 results were also helped by a $60 million tax benefit and $97 million of asset impairments that partially offset each other, and the fee income line declined 4% sequentially. Management indicated a first-quarter 2025 share repurchase pace in line with recent averages and a quarterly dividend of $1.60 per share payable February 5, 2025.

PNC Financial Services Group's Q4 and full-year 2024 earnings slides, furnished under Item 7.01 of this 8-K, show a year that ended on a solid note: full-year 2024 net income of $5.95 billion and diluted EPS of $13.74 (up 7%), with record full-year total revenue of $21.55 billion and positive operating leverage. Noninterest income rose 6% for the year and 4% in the quarter, and tangible book value per share climbed 12% year over year to $95.33, while the estimated Basel III CET1 ratio reached 10.5%, up 60 bps from a year earlier. Quarterly net income of $1.63 billion was up 8% linked quarter, helped by net interest margin expansion to 2.75% and a sharp drop in provision expense. The quality of the growth is more mixed. Average loans declined 2% year over year to $319.1 billion because of low commercial line utilization (around 50%), and full-year net interest income fell 3%. Growth in NII and margin came from repricing fixed-rate securities and swaps, and deposits were stable at $425 billion with a 47% cumulative deposit beta. Credit metrics bear watching: NPLs fell to 0.73% of loans, but office CRE NPLs rose to 12.6% of the $6.7 billion office book, with a 53% criticized ratio and a 19.9% reserve ratio, and net charge-offs of $1.38 billion for the year were broadly flat. Management guided to 2025 total revenue up roughly 6% to 7%, with net interest income up 6% to 7%, noninterest expense up about 1%, and an effective tax rate near 19%, while expecting average loans to be stable. For 1Q25, guidance called for total revenue down 1% to 2% and noninterest expense down 2% to 3%, with net charge-offs around $300 million. The outlook assumes two additional 25 bp Fed cuts in the first half of 2025, and the slides note that the presentation is not a full financial review and that results may differ from forward-looking statements.

PNC FINANCIAL SERVICES GROUP, INC. 8-K Report, Financial Results (Nov 8, 2024)

PNC Financial Services Group furnished slides from a November 8, 2024 presentation by President Michael P. Lyons and CFO Robert Q. Reilly at the BancAnalysts Association of Boston Conference under Item 2.02 of Form 8-K. The deck is strategic rather than an earnings release. It contains no new quarterly results, no revised guidance, and no new capital actions. The central theme is "Driving Growth Through National Expansion," which describes PNC's organic build-out of its Corporate & Institutional Banking (C&IB) and Asset Management Group (AMG) franchises and its retail branch network in faster-growing Southeast, Southwest, and De Novo markets, collectively termed PNC Expansion Markets. As of September 30, 2024, Expansion Markets held about $64 billion of average loans, $109 billion of average deposits, and $24 billion of AMG assets under management, with roughly 930 branches and 1,950 ATMs. Management reports that C&IB and AMG revenue in these markets reached about $2 billion on a year-to-date annualized basis, which it says reflects a roughly 20% compound annual growth rate from 2012 through 2024. The company set a near-term revenue target of $3.5 billion and a long-term opportunity above $6 billion. Management also cites a growing branch pipeline, with about 100 new branch builds announced by 2028 and an increase to more than 200 by 2029, and says it has added roughly 3,000 new C&I clients in Expansion Markets since 2018. For investors, the key question is whether this organic strategy can add meaningful revenue without materially raising risk or expense. The presentation argues that the approach is lower risk than acquisitions, with no change to risk appetite, and points to a high talent retention rate (about 90% since 2011). The filing does not quantify the expense or capital required to fund the build-out, and it notes the usual forward-looking risks, including interest rate, credit, competition, and execution risks. The macro outlook calls for slower growth in late 2024 and early 2025, with two more 25 basis point federal funds cuts expected in 2024 and several in 2025.

On October 30, 2024, The PNC Financial Services Group (NYSE: PNC) disclosed in a Form 8-K that it will redeem all 500,000 outstanding Depositary Shares (CUSIP: 693475AM7) representing interests in its Fixed-to-Floating Rate Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series R, on December 2, 2024. The total redemption amount is $500 million, paid at $1,000 per Depositary Share. Each Depositary Share represents a 1/100th interest in a share of the Series R Preferred Stock. The redemption price excludes the regular quarterly dividend on the Depositary Shares. That dividend has already been declared and will be paid separately on December 2, 2024, to holders of record on the applicable record date. Holders settle through The Depository Trust Company (DTC), with payment to DTC made by Computershare Trust Company, N.A., the Depositary, under the Deposit Agreement. For investors, the event is a routine capital action: PNC is retiring a $500 million block of perpetual preferred equity in full. The filing does not state the reasons for the redemption or its effect on capital ratios, dividend capacity, or earnings, so those points would need to be confirmed in PNC's other disclosures.

The headline results were net income of $1.5 billion and diluted EPS of $3.49, up 3% linked quarter but down 3% year over year. Total revenue was $5.43 billion, flat linked quarter and up 4% year over year. Net interest income rose 3% linked quarter to $3.41 billion, and net interest margin improved to 2.64% from 2.60%. Fee income grew 10% linked quarter, driven by a 36% jump in capital markets and advisory revenue. Noninterest expense was well controlled at $3.33 billion, producing positive operating leverage of 1.3%. The balance sheet and capital picture also strengthened. Deposits rose 1% linked quarter, and tangible book value per share climbed 9% to $96.98, up 24% year over year. The estimated Basel III CET1 ratio reached 10.3%. Credit quality was mixed. NPLs rose to 0.80% of loans from 0.67% a year earlier, and net charge-offs increased to 0.36% of average loans from 0.15%. Office CRE is the main pressure point, with a criticized ratio of 50.2% and reserves at 16.0% of loans, though PNC characterizes the overall CRE book as adequately reserved. Management guided 4Q24 to stable total revenue, a 5% to 7% decline in fee income, and a 2% to 3% rise in noninterest expense. For investors, the key takeaways are the capital markets rebound, improved margin trajectory, and tangible book value growth, weighed against rising credit costs in office real estate and a year-over-year decline in earnings. The filing itself is an informational presentation furnished under Regulation FD and includes no new financial statements. Its forward-looking statements, including the outlook and rate-cut assumptions, are subject to the risks listed in the cautionary statement.

PNC FINANCIAL SERVICES GROUP, INC. 8-K Report, Financial Results (Oct 15, 2024)

PNC Financial Services Group reported third quarter 2024 net income of $1.5 billion, or $3.49 per diluted share, compared with $1.48 billion ($3.39) in the second quarter of 2024 and $1.57 billion ($3.60) in the third quarter of 2023. The quarter delivered 1% positive operating leverage: total revenue was essentially flat at $5.4 billion (up $21 million sequentially) while noninterest expense fell 1% to $3.3 billion. Net interest income rose 3% to $3.4 billion, with net interest margin up 4 basis points to 2.64%. Fee income grew 10% sequentially to $1.95 billion, led by capital markets and advisory revenue, which rose 36%. Results were held back by $128 million of negative Visa derivative fair value adjustments, and the prior quarter had benefited from $141 million of significant items, so the sequential comparison in other noninterest income is distorted. Credit quality showed modest deterioration. Net charge-offs rose to $286 million (0.36% annualized) from $262 million, mainly due to lower commercial recoveries, and nonperforming loans increased to $2.6 billion, driven by commercial real estate. The allowance for credit losses held steady at 1.65% of total loans. Balance sheet trends were stable, with average loans flat at $319.6 billion and average deposits up 1% to $422.1 billion. Capital strengthened: the CET1 ratio reached an estimated 10.3%, tangible book value per share rose 9% to $96.98, and AOCI improved $2.4 billion to a negative $5.1 billion, mainly on lower rates. PNC returned $0.8 billion to shareholders and declared a $1.60 quarterly dividend, and management said it expects to achieve record net interest income in 2025. For investors, the key takeaways are a solid core earnings profile supported by fee growth and NIM expansion, offset by lower quarterly earnings versus the prior-year quarter, a modest uptick in credit costs, and improving capital and book value metrics. The filing is a furnished (not filed) 8-K containing the earnings press release and financial supplement, both unaudited.

PNC FINANCIAL SERVICES GROUP, INC. 8-K Report, Regulation FD Disclosure (Jul 16, 2024)

PNC Financial Services Group's 8-K, furnished under Item 7.01 with slides from its July 16, 2024 second-quarter earnings call, reports solid results: net income of $1.5 billion, diluted EPS of $3.39, and net interest margin of 2.60% (up 3 bps linked-quarter). The headline GAAP figures are inflated by significant items, most notably a $754 million pretax Visa gain that was largely offset by a $497 million securities repositioning loss, a $116 million Visa derivative fair value adjustment, and a $120 million PNC Foundation contribution. Net of these items, the company reports a net positive impact of only about $0.09 per share, so underlying earnings power is more modest than the headline figures suggest. Pretax, pre-provision earnings (non-GAAP) rose 13% sequentially to $2.05 billion. Balance sheet and capital trends were mixed but generally constructive. Average total loans were stable at $319.9 billion, with consumer and commercial balances both flat to slightly down year over year. Deposits declined modestly, and noninterest-bearing balances continued to fall, though the pace of decline slowed. The Basel III CET1 ratio rose to an estimated 10.2%, and tangible book value per share climbed 4% sequentially to $89.12. PNC also repositioned $3.8 billion of low-yielding securities, booking a $497 million loss, with management projecting roughly $140 million of net interest income benefit in 2025 and earn-back in under four years. Credit quality showed gradual deterioration. Nonperforming loans rose to 0.78% of total loans, net charge-offs to 0.33% annualized, and the allowance for credit losses to 1.67% of loans. Office CRE is the primary concern, with the office NPL ratio at 11.0% and a reserve level of 10.3%. Management guided to stable average loans, net interest income up 1% to 2%, and fee income up 1% to 2% for 3Q24, and it raised the quarterly dividend by $0.05 to $1.60 on July 2, 2024.

PNC FINANCIAL SERVICES GROUP, INC. 8-K Report, Financial Results (Jul 16, 2024)

PNC Financial Services Group reported second-quarter 2024 net income of $1.48 billion ($1.5 billion attributable to net income before noncontrolling interests and preferred dividends) and diluted EPS of $3.39, up from $3.10 in the first quarter and essentially flat with $3.36 a year earlier. Total revenue rose 5% sequentially to $5.41 billion, driven by a $754 million gain on the Visa share exchange, while net interest income grew 1% to $3.30 billion and net interest margin improved 3 basis points to 2.60%. Management highlighted positive operating leverage, with pre-tax, pre-provision earnings up 13%, and noted that these results mark the start of an expected return to net interest income growth toward a record in 2025. The quarter's headline earnings were heavily shaped by significant items that largely offset each other. Beyond the Visa gain, PNC booked a $497 million loss from repositioning $3.8 billion of available-for-sale securities, a $120 million PNC Foundation contribution, and a $116 million negative Visa derivative adjustment. Net of these items, the EPS impact was a modest $0.09 benefit, so underlying earnings power is closer to the reported figure than the headline gain suggests. Credit costs rose, with the provision for credit losses increasing to $235 million from $155 million and net charge-offs reaching 0.33% annualized, mainly from commercial real estate. Nonperforming loans climbed to $2.5 billion, though the allowance for credit losses held steady at 1.67% of loans. On the balance sheet and capital side, average loans and deposits were relatively stable, while average securities rose 4%. The CET1 ratio improved to an estimated 10.2%, the stress capital buffer remained at the regulatory minimum of 2.5%, and tangible book value per share rose 4% to $89.12. The board raised the quarterly common dividend by 5 cents to $1.60 per share. Management indicated that third-quarter buybacks would approximate recent averages given pending Basel III proposals.
