Summary
Truist Financial Corporation (TFC), formerly BB&T Corporation, reported a net income of $547 million, or $0.77 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2013. This represents a year-over-year increase in both net income and earnings per share, driven by lower funding and credit-related costs, along with improved noninterest income. The company's return on average assets and common equity also saw a slight improvement compared to the prior year's second quarter. Despite a decrease in net interest income due to lower loan yields in the prevailing low-interest-rate environment and the runoff of covered assets, the bank managed to improve its overall financial performance. Noninterest income saw a significant boost, primarily from insurance income and higher securities gains. Asset quality continued to improve, with nonperforming assets declining to their lowest level since Q1 2008. The company's capital ratios remain strong and well above regulatory requirements.
