For information regarding certain business, regulatory and legal risks, see the following sections as they appear in this Report and in our 2015 Form 10-K: the Risk Management section of the Financial Review portion of this report and of Item 7 in our 2015 Form 10-K; Item 1A Risk Factors included in our 2015 Form 10-K; and the Legal Proceedings and Commitments and Guarantees Notes of the Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements included in the respective report. Also, see the Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information section in this Financial Review and the Critical Accounting Estimates And Judgments section in this Financial Review and in our 2015 Form 10-K for certain other factors that could cause actual results or future events to differ, perhaps materially, from historical performance and from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements included in this Report.

(a) The Executive Summary and Consolidated Income Statement Review portions of the Financial Review section of this Report provide information regarding items impacting the comparability of the periods presented.
(b) The effective income tax rates are generally lower than the statutory rate due to the relationship of pretax income to tax credits and earnings that are not subject to tax.
(c) Calculated as annualized taxable-equivalent net interest income divided by average earning assets. The interest income earned on certain earning assets is completely or partially exempt from federal income tax. As such, these tax-exempt instruments typically yield lower returns than taxable investments. To provide more meaningful comparisons of net interest margins for all earning assets, we use net interest income on a taxable-equivalent basis in calculating net interest margin by increasing the interest income earned on tax-exempt assets to make it fully equivalent to interest income earned on taxable investments. This adjustment is not permitted under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the Consolidated Income Statement. The taxable-equivalent adjustments to net interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2015 were $48 million and $49 million, respectively. The taxable-equivalent adjustments to net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2015 were $96 million and $98 million, respectively.

At PNC we manage our company for the long term. We are focused on the fundamentals of growing customers, loans, deposits and fee revenue and improving profitability, while investing for the future and managing risk, expenses and capital. We continue to invest in our products, markets and brand, and embrace our corporate responsibility to the communities where we do business.

We strive to expand and deepen customer relationships by offering a broad range of deposit, fee-based and credit products and services. We are focused on delivering those products and services where, when and how our customers choose with the goal of offering insight that addresses their specific financial objectives. Our approach is concentrated on organically growing and deepening client relationships that meet our risk/return measures. Our strategies for growing fee income across our lines of business are focused on achieving deeper market penetration and cross selling our diverse product mix to meet the broad range of financial needs of our customers.

Our strategic priorities are designed to enhance value over the long term. A key priority is to build a leading banking franchise in our underpenetrated geographic markets. In addition, we are seeking to attract more of the investable assets of new and existing clients. PNC is focused on redefining the retail banking experience by transforming to a more customer-centric and sustainable model while lowering delivery costs as customer banking preferences evolve. Additionally, we continue to focus on expense management while investing in technology to bolster critical business infrastructure and streamline core processes.

Our capital priorities are to support client growth and business investment, maintain appropriate capital in light of economic conditions and the Basel III framework and return excess capital to shareholders, in accordance with the currently effective capital plan included in our Comprehensive Capital

Analysis and Review (CCAR) submission to the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Federal Reserve). New regulatory short-term liquidity standards became effective for PNC and PNC Bank, National Association (PNC Bank) beginning January 1, 2015. For more detail, see the Balance Sheet, Liquidity and Capital Highlights portion of this Executive Summary, the Capital portion of the Consolidated Balance Sheet Review section and the Liquidity Risk Management portion of the Risk Management section of this Financial Review and the Supervision and Regulation section in Item 1 Business of our 2015 Form 10-K.

Key Factors Affecting Financial Performance

PNC faces a variety of risks that may impact various aspects of our risk profile from time to time. The extent of such impacts may vary depending on factors such as the current economic, political and regulatory environment, merger and acquisition activity and operational challenges. Many of these risks and our risk management strategies are described in more detail in our 2015 Form 10-K and elsewhere in this Report.

Our financial performance is substantially affected by a number of external factors outside of our control, including the following:

   

Domestic and global economic conditions, including the continuity, speed and stamina of the current U.S. economic expansion in general and its impact on our customers in particular;

   

The monetary policy actions and statements of the Federal Reserve and the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC);

   

The level of, and direction, timing and magnitude of movement in, interest rates and the shape of the interest rate yield curve;

   

The functioning and other performance of, and availability of liquidity in, the capital and other financial markets;

   

Changes in the competitive and regulatory landscape and in counterparty creditworthiness and performance as the financial services industry restructures in the current environment;

   

The impact of the extensive reforms enacted by the Dodd-Frank legislation and other legislative, regulatory and administrative initiatives and actions, including those outlined elsewhere in this Report, in our 2015 Form 10-K and in subsequent filings with the SEC;

   

The impact of market credit spreads on asset valuations;

   

Asset quality and the ability of customers, counterparties and issuers to perform in accordance with contractual terms;

   

Loan demand, utilization of credit commitments and standby letters of credit; and

   

Customer demand for non-loan products and services.

Average investment securities increased due to higher average agency residential mortgage-backed securities and U.S. Treasury and government agency securities, partially offset by a decrease in average non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities. Total investment securities increased from 19% to 23% of average interest-earning assets.

The increase in average loans was driven by growth in average commercial real estate loans of $3.9 billion and average

commercial loans of $1.4 billion, principally in our Corporate & Institutional Banking segment, partially offset by a decrease in consumer loans of $3.0 billion. The decline in consumer loans was primarily attributable to lower home equity and education loans, and included runoff in the non-strategic portfolio of residential mortgage and brokered home equity loans. Loans remained stable at 67% of average interest-earning assets in both periods.

 

 

The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. – Form 10-Q    5


Average interest-earning deposits with banks, which are primarily maintained with the Federal Reserve Bank, decreased in the comparison reflecting a shift to higher yielding investment securities and loans as well as lower borrowed funds, partially offset by an increase in deposits.

Average total deposits increased $11.4 billion, primarily due to higher average savings deposits, which reflected a shift from money market deposits to relationship-based savings products. Additionally, average interest-bearing demand

deposits and average noninterest-bearing deposits increased as overall deposits grew. Average total deposits increased from 67% to 69% of average assets in the comparison.

Average borrowed funds declined due to decreases in average commercial paper, Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) borrowings and federal funds purchased and repurchase agreements, partially offset by an increase in average bank notes and senior debt. The Liquidity Risk Management portion of this Financial Review includes additional information regarding our sources and uses of borrowed funds.

Various seasonal and other factors impact our period-end balances, whereas average balances are generally more indicative of underlying business trends apart from the impact of acquisitions and divestitures. Total assets were $361.3 billion at June 30, 2016 compared with $358.5 billion at December 31, 2015. The Consolidated Balance Sheet Review section of this Financial Review provides information on changes in selected Consolidated Balance Sheet categories at June 30, 2016 compared with December 31, 2015.

Recent Market and Industry Developments

On June 29, 2016, the Federal Reserve announced the results of the 2016 CCAR exercise. As we previously announced, the Federal Reserve accepted the capital plan that PNC submitted in April 2016 and did not object to the capital actions included in that plan. See the Capital portion of the Consolidated Balance Sheet Review section of this Financial Review.

On July 6, 2016, the Federal Reserve granted the final one-year extension of the general conformance period available under the Volcker Rule provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act to give all banking entities until July 21, 2017, to conform their investments in, and relationships with, covered funds (as defined in the Volcker Rule) that were in place prior to December 31, 2013 (legacy covered funds). As a result, PNC now has until at least July 21, 2017, to divest or conform its remaining investments in, and relationships with, legacy covered funds, including certain of PNC’s REIT preferred securities that, as currently structured, are considered legacy covered funds. In the second quarter of 2016, PNC recorded negative valuation adjustments of $51 million in noninterest income primarily associated with nonconforming investments under the Volcker Rule. For additional information regarding the Volcker Rule and related considerations, see the Supervision and Regulation section in Item 1 Business and Item 1A Risk Factors of our 2015 Form 10-K. The Federal Reserve has the ability to provide up to an additional 5-year extended conformance period for investments held in, and relationships with, covered funds that qualify as illiquid funds under the Volcker Rule and the Federal Reserve’s regulations.

In June 2016, following a period of public comments, the FDIC revised and updated its FAQs concerning brokered deposits that were originally released in 2015. Federal banking laws and regulations apply a variety of requirements or restrictions on insured depository institutions with respect to brokered deposits. For example, as explained in these FAQs, only a “well capitalized” insured depository institution may accept or retain brokered deposits without prior regulatory approval and brokered deposits are generally subject to higher outflow assumptions than other types of deposits for purposes of the LCR. We do not anticipate that these revised FAQs will have a material impact on PNC’s deposit-taking activities or LCR.

CONSOLIDATED INCOME STATEMENT REVIEW

Our Consolidated Income Statement is presented in Part I, Item 1 of this Report.

Net income for the second quarter of 2016 was $989 million, or $1.82 per diluted common share, a decrease of 5%, compared with $1.044 billion, or $1.88 per diluted common share, for the second quarter of 2015. For the first six months of 2016, net income was $1.9 billion, or $3.49 per diluted common share, a decrease of 6%, compared with $2.0 billion, or $3.63 per diluted common share, for the first six months of 2015.

Net income decreased in both comparisons driven by higher provision for credit losses and a 2% decline in revenue, partially offset by a 2% decrease in noninterest expense in the year-to-date comparison. Lower revenue in both comparisons reflected a 5% decline in noninterest income, partially offset by a 1% increase in net interest income.

(a) See footnote (c) in Table 1: Consolidated Financial Highlights on page 1.

Changes in net interest income and margin result from the interaction of the volume and composition of interest-earning assets and related yields, interest-bearing liabilities and related rates paid, and noninterest-bearing sources of funding. See the Statistical Information (Unaudited) – Average Consolidated Balance Sheet And Net Interest Analysis section of this Report for additional information.

Net interest income increased $16 million, or 1%, and $42 million, or 1%, for the second quarter and first six months of 2016, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2015. The increases in both comparisons were attributable to increases in loan and securities balances and higher loan yields, partially offset by lower purchase accounting accretion, higher borrowing costs and lower securities yields.

Net interest margins decreased in both comparisons mainly due to lower benefit from purchase accounting accretion, partially offset by the impact of lower balances on deposit with the Federal Reserve.

In the third quarter of 2016, we expect net interest income to be stable with the second quarter of 2016.

For full year 2016, we expect purchase accounting accretion to be down approximately $175 million compared to 2015.

Noninterest income decreased in both the quarterly and year-to-date comparisons. Noninterest income as a percentage of total revenue was 45% for the second quarter of 2016 compared to 47% for the same period in 2015. The comparable amounts for the year-to-date periods of 2016 and 2015 were 44% and 46%, respectively.

Asset management revenue decreased in both comparisons driven by lower earnings from our BlackRock equity investment and the impact of lower equity markets on both BlackRock and our asset management business segment. The decreases also included the impact from a $30 million trust settlement during the second quarter of 2015 in our asset management business segment. Discretionary client assets under management were $135 billion at June 30, 2016 compared with $134 billion at June 30, 2015.

Consumer services fees increased in both the quarterly and year-to-date comparisons, primarily due to growth in payment-related products including debit card, credit card and merchant services, as well as increased brokerage fees.

Corporate services revenue increased in both comparisons primarily as a result of higher merger and acquisition advisory fees and higher loan syndication fees.

Residential mortgage revenue decreased in the year-to-date comparison as a result of lower residential mortgage servicing rights valuation, net of economic hedge, and lower loan sales revenue, partially offset by higher servicing fee revenue.

Other noninterest income decreased in both comparisons mainly attributable to second quarter valuation adjustments of $51 million primarily associated with nonconforming investments under the Volcker Rule as well as lower net gains on sales of Visa Class B common shares. Net gains on the sale of Visa Class B common shares were $63 million on sales of 1.35 million shares for the first six months of 2016, including $31 million on the sale of 0.85 million shares in the second

quarter of 2016, compared to $79 million on the sale of 1.0 million shares in the second quarter of 2015. Net gains consist of gains on Visa sales reduced by derivative fair value adjustments related to swap agreements with purchasers of Visa Class B common shares in connection with all prior sales.

In the third quarter of 2016, we expect fee income to remain stable with the second quarter of 2016. Fee income, a non-GAAP financial measure, refers to noninterest income categories of asset management, consumer services, corporate services, residential mortgage and service charges on deposits.

For full year 2016, we expect total revenue to be stable compared to 2015.

Provision For Credit Losses

The provision for credit losses increased $81 million to $127 million in the second quarter of 2016 compared to the second quarter of 2015 and increased $179 million to $279 million for the first six months of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015. The increase in both comparisons was primarily due to provision for energy related loans in the oil, gas, and coal sectors, which was $128 million for the first six months of 2016, including $48 million in the second quarter of 2016. The energy related loan portfolio weakened slightly in the second quarter of 2016 compared to the first quarter of 2016, but at a slower pace.

We expect our provision for credit losses in the third quarter of 2016 to be between $100 million and $150 million.

The Credit Risk Management portion of the Risk Management section of this Financial Review includes additional information regarding factors impacting the provision for credit losses.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense for the second quarter of 2016 remained stable at $2.4 billion compared to the second quarter of 2015. Noninterest expense decreased $74 million, or 2%, to $4.6 billion for the first six months of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015, primarily due to the release of $24 million in residential mortgage foreclosure-related reserves and lower legal accruals, and reflected our effective expense management.

As of June 30, 2016, we have completed actions to capture more than two-thirds of our 2016 continuous improvement savings goal of $400 million, and are on track to achieve the full-year goal. Through this program, we intend to help fund our continued investments in technology and business infrastructure throughout 2016.

We expect noninterest expense in the third quarter of 2016 to remain stable compared to the second quarter 2016, and full year 2016 noninterest expense to remain stable compared to full year 2015.

Effective Income Tax Rate

The effective income tax rate was 24.3% in the second quarter of 2016 compared to 28.2% in the second quarter of 2015 and 23.9% in the first six months of 2016 compared to 26.4% in the same period of 2015. Both declines were primarily attributable to increased tax credit investments and a change in 2015 to record the impact of historic tax credits as a reduction to the associated investment asset balance.

The effective tax rate is generally lower than the statutory rate primarily due to tax credits PNC receives from our investments in low income housing and new markets investments, as well as earnings in other tax exempt investments.

We expect our full-year 2016 effective tax rate to be approximately 25%.

The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. – Form 10-Q    9


The summarized balance sheet data above is based upon our Consolidated Balance Sheet in Part 1, Item 1 of this Report.

PNC’s balance sheet reflected asset growth and strong liquidity and capital positions at June 30, 2016 as compared to December 31, 2015.

   

Total assets increased in the comparison primarily due to increases in loans, investment securities, and other assets driven by accounts receivable for trade date securities sales, partially offset by lower interest-earning deposits with banks.

   

Total liabilities increased mainly due to deposit growth and higher other liabilities driven by accounts payable for trade date securities purchases.

   

Total equity increased mainly due to increased retained earnings driven by net income, offset by share repurchases.

Loans

Outstanding loan balances of $209.1 billion at June 30, 2016 and $206.7 billion at December 31, 2015 were net of unearned income, net deferred loan fees, unamortized discounts and premiums, and purchase discounts and premiums totaling $1.4 billion at both June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

10    The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. – Form 10-Q


Loan growth was the result of an increase in total commercial lending driven by commercial and commercial real estate loans, partially offset by a decline in consumer lending due to lower home equity and education loans.

Loans represented 58% of total assets at both June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015. Commercial lending represented 66% of the loan portfolio at June 30, 2016 and 65% at December 31, 2015. Consumer lending represented 34% of the loan portfolio at June 30, 2016 and 35% at December 31, 2015. See the Credit Risk Management portion of the Risk Management section of this Financial Review for additional information regarding our loan portfolio.

Total loans above include purchased impaired loans of $3.2 billion, or 2% of total loans, at June 30, 2016, and $3.5 billion, or 2% of total loans, at December 31, 2015.

For the third quarter of 2016, we expect total loans to be up modestly compared to the second quarter of 2016.

Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses (ALLL)

Information regarding our higher risk loans and ALLL is included in the Credit Risk Management portion of the Risk Management section of this Financial Review, Note 1 Accounting Policies in our 2015 Form 10-K and Note 3 Asset Quality and Note 4 Allowances for Loan and Lease Losses and Unfunded Loan Commitments and Letters of Credit in our Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part 1, Item 1 of this Report.

Investment Securities

The following table presents the distribution of our investment securities portfolio by credit rating. We have included credit ratings information because we believe that the information is an indicator of the degree of credit risk to which we are exposed. Changes in credit ratings classifications could indicate increased or decreased credit risk and could be accompanied by a reduction or increase in the fair value of our investment securities portfolio.

Investment securities represented 20% of total assets at both June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

We evaluate our investment securities portfolio in light of changing market conditions and other factors and, where appropriate, take steps to improve our overall positioning. We consider the portfolio to be well-diversified and of high quality. At June 30, 2016, 90% of the securities in the portfolio were rated AAA/AA, with U.S. Treasury and government agencies, agency residential mortgage-backed and agency commercial mortgage-backed securities collectively representing 68% of the portfolio.

The investment securities portfolio includes both available for sale and held to maturity securities. Securities classified as available for sale are carried at fair value with net unrealized gains and losses, representing the difference between amortized cost and fair value, included in Shareholders’ equity as Accumulated other comprehensive income or loss, net of tax, on our Consolidated Balance Sheet. Securities classified as held to maturity are carried at amortized cost. As of June 30, 2016, the amortized cost and fair value of available for sale securities totaled $55.6 billion and $56.9 billion, respectively, compared to an amortized cost and fair value as of December 31, 2015 of $55.3 billion and $55.8 billion, respectively. The amortized cost and fair value of held to maturity securities were $14.9 billion and $15.5 billion, respectively, at June 30, 2016, compared to $14.8 billion and $15.0 billion, respectively, at December 31, 2015.

The fair value of investment securities is impacted by interest rates, credit spreads, market volatility and liquidity conditions. The fair value of investment securities generally decreases when interest rates increase and vice versa. In addition, the fair

value generally decreases when credit spreads widen and vice versa. Net unrealized gains in the total investment securities portfolio increased to $1.8 billion at June 30, 2016 from $0.7 billion at December 31, 2015. The comparable amounts for the securities available for sale portfolio were $1.3 billion at June 30, 2016 and $0.5 billion at December 31, 2015.

Unrealized gains and losses on available for sale debt securities do not impact liquidity; however these gains and losses do affect capital under the regulatory capital rules. Also, a change in the securities’ credit ratings could impact the liquidity of the securities and may be indicative of a change in credit quality, which could affect our risk-weighted assets and, therefore, our risk-based regulatory capital ratios under the regulatory capital rules. In addition, the amount representing the credit-related portion of other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI) on securities would reduce our earnings and regulatory capital ratios.

The duration of investment securities was 2.0 years at June 30, 2016. We estimate that at June 30, 2016 the effective duration of investment securities was 2.1 years for an immediate 50 basis points parallel increase in interest rates and 1.8 years for an immediate 50 basis points parallel decrease in interest rates. Comparable amounts at December 31, 2015 for the effective duration of investment securities were 2.8 years and 2.6 years, respectively.

Based on current interest rates and expected prepayment speeds, the weighed-average expected maturity of the investment securities portfolio (excluding corporate stock and other) was 4.0 years at June 30, 2016 compared to 4.8 years at December 31, 2015. The weighted-average expected maturities of mortgage and other asset-backed debt securities were as follows as of June 30, 2016:

At least quarterly, we conduct a comprehensive security-level impairment assessment on all securities. If economic conditions, including home prices, were to deteriorate from current levels, and if market volatility and liquidity were to deteriorate from current levels, or if market interest rates were to increase or credit spreads were to widen appreciably, the valuation of our investment securities portfolio would likely be adversely affected and we could incur additional OTTI credit losses that would impact our Consolidated Income Statement. For those securities on our balance sheet at June 30, 2016, where during our quarterly security-level impairment assessments we determined losses represented OTTI, we have recorded cumulative credit losses of $1.1 billion in earnings and accordingly have reduced the amortized cost of our securities. The majority of these cumulative impairment charges related to non-agency residential mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities rated BB or lower.

Loans held for sale increased in the comparison reflecting higher origination volumes in both commercial and residential mortgages.

We sold $1.5 billion of commercial mortgage loans to agencies during the first six months of 2016 compared to $2.2 billion during the first six months of 2015. Total revenue of $33 million was recognized on the valuation and sale of commercial mortgage loans held for sale, net of hedges, during the first six months of 2016, including $16 million in the second quarter. Comparable amounts for 2015 were $51

million and $36 million, respectively. These amounts are included in Other noninterest income on the Consolidated Income Statement.

Residential mortgage loan origination volume was $4.5 billion during the first six months of 2016 compared to $5.5 billion in the same period in 2015. The majority of such loans were originated under agency or Federal Housing Administration (FHA) standards. We sold $2.8 billion of loans and recognized loan sales revenue of $159 million during the first six months of 2016, of which $95 million occurred in the second quarter. The comparable amounts for 2015 were $4.0 billion and $203 million, respectively, including $99 million in the second quarter. These loan sales revenue amounts are included in Residential mortgage noninterest income on the Consolidated Income Statement.

Interest income on loans held for sale was $34 million during the first six months of 2016, including $18 million in the second quarter. Comparable amounts for 2015 were $46 million and $23 million, respectively. These amounts are included in Other interest income on the Consolidated Income Statement.

See the Liquidity Risk Management portion of the Risk Management section of this Financial Review for additional information regarding our 2016 capital and liquidity activities.

Total deposits increased in the comparison mainly due to growth in savings deposits reflecting in part a shift from money market deposits to relationship-based savings products. Interest-bearing deposits represented 69% of total deposits at June 30, 2016 and 68% at December 31, 2015.

Total borrowed funds increased slightly in the comparison as higher bank notes and senior debt were substantially offset by maturities of FHLB borrowings.

Capital

We manage our funding and capital positions by making adjustments to our balance sheet size and composition, issuing debt, equity or other capital instruments, executing treasury stock transactions and capital redemptions, managing dividend policies and retaining earnings.

We repurchase shares of PNC common stock under common stock repurchase authorizations approved by PNC’s Board of Directors and consistent with capital plans submitted to, and accepted by, the Federal Reserve. The extent and timing of share repurchases under authorizations will depend on a number of factors including, among others, market and general economic conditions, economic and regulatory capital considerations, alternative uses of capital, the potential impact on our credit ratings, contractual and regulatory limitations, and the results of future supervisory assessments of capital adequacy and capital planning processes undertaken by the Federal Reserve as part of the CCAR process.

In the second quarter of 2016, we repurchased 6.1 million common shares for $.5 billion, completing our common stock repurchase programs for the five quarter period that ended in June 2016. We returned a total of $4.0 billion of capital to shareholders through repurchases of 29.9 million common shares for $2.7 billion and dividends on common shares of $1.3 billion over the five quarter period, consistent with the capital plan accepted by the Federal Reserve as part of our 2015 CCAR submission.

In connection with the 2016 CCAR process, we submitted our capital plan as approved by PNC’s Board of Directors, to the Federal Reserve in April 2016. The Federal Reserve accepted the capital plan and did not object to our proposed capital actions. As provided for in the 2016 capital plan, PNC announced new share repurchase programs of up to $2.0 billion for the four-quarter period beginning in the third quarter of 2016, including repurchases of up to $200 million related to employee benefit plans.

We paid dividends on common stock of $.3 billion, or 51 cents per common share, during the second quarter of 2016. On July 7, 2016, the PNC Board of Directors raised the quarterly common stock cash dividend to 55 cents per share, an increase of 4 cents, or 8%, payable on August 5, 2016.

See the Supervision and Regulation section of Item 1 Business of our 2015 Form 10-K for further information concerning the CCAR process and the factors the Federal Reserve takes into consideration in its evaluation of capital plans. See also the Capital section of the Consolidated Balance Sheet Review in our 2015 Form 10-K for additional information on our 2015 CCAR submission and current capital plan.

The increase in total shareholders’ equity compared to December 31, 2015 was mainly due to a $1.3 billion increase in retained earnings and higher accumulated other comprehensive income primarily related to net securities gains, partially offset by common share repurchases of $1.0 billion. The increase in retained earnings was driven by net income of $1.9 billion, reduced by $.6 billion of common and preferred dividends declared. Common shares outstanding were 493 million and 504 million at June 30, 2016, and December 31, 2015, respectively.

(f) Basel III advanced approaches risk-weighted assets are estimated based on the Basel III advanced approaches rules, and include credit, market, and operational risk-weighted assets. During the parallel run qualification phase PNC has refined the data, models, and internal processes used as part of the advanced approaches for determining risk-weighted assets. We anticipate additional refinements to this estimate through the parallel run qualification phase.

(i) For comparative purposes only, the pro forma fully phased-in advanced approaches Basel III Common equity Tier 1 capital ratio estimate is 11.2%. This capital ratio is calculated using pro forma fully phased-in Common equity Tier 1 capital and dividing by estimated Basel III advanced approaches risk-weighted assets.
(j) For comparative purposes only, the pro forma fully phased-in advanced approaches Basel III Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio estimate is 12.4%. This capital ratio is calculated using fully phased-in Tier 1 capital and dividing by estimated Basel III advanced approaches risk-weighted assets.
(k) For comparative purposes only, the pro forma fully phased-in advanced approaches Basel III Total capital risk-based capital ratio estimate is 13.8%. This ratio is calculated using fully phased-in Total Basel III capital, which under the advanced approaches, Additional Tier 2 capital includes allowance for loan and lease losses in excess of Basel expected credit losses, if any, up to 0.6% of credit risk related risk-weighted assets and dividing by estimated Basel III advanced approach risk-weighted assets.
(l) Leverage ratio is calculated based on Tier 1 capital divided by Average quarterly adjusted total assets.
(m) Supplementary leverage ratio is calculated based on Tier 1 capital divided by Supplementary leverage exposure. As advanced approaches banking organizations, PNC and PNC Bank will be subject to a 3% minimum supplementary leverage ratio effective January 1, 2018.

 

As a result of the staggered effective dates of the final U.S. Basel III regulatory capital rules (Basel III rules), as well as the fact that PNC remains in the parallel run qualification phase for the advanced approaches, PNC’s regulatory risk-based ratios in 2016 are calculated using the standardized approach for determining risk-weighted assets, and the definitions of, and deductions from, regulatory capital under the Basel III rules (as such definitions and deductions are phased-in for 2016). We refer to the capital ratios calculated using the phased-in Basel III provisions in effect for 2016 and, for the risk-based ratios, standardized approach risk-weighted assets, as the 2016 Transitional Basel III ratios. Under the standardized approach for determining credit risk-weighted assets, exposures are generally assigned a pre-defined risk weight. Exposures to high volatility commercial real estate, past due exposures, equity exposures and securitization exposures are generally subject to higher risk weights than other types of exposures.

Under the Basel III rules adopted by the U.S. banking agencies, significant common stock investments in unconsolidated financial institutions, mortgage servicing rights and deferred tax assets must be deducted from capital (subject to a phase-in schedule and net of associated deferred tax liabilities) to the extent they individually exceed 10%, or in the aggregate exceed 15%, of the institution’s adjusted common equity Tier 1 capital. Also, Basel III regulatory capital includes (subject to a phase-in schedule) accumulated other comprehensive income related to securities currently and previously held as available for sale, as well as pension and other postretirement plans.

Federal banking regulators have stated that they expect the largest U.S. bank holding companies, including PNC, to have a level of regulatory capital well in excess of the regulatory minimum and have required the largest U.S. bank holding companies, including PNC, to have a capital buffer sufficient to withstand losses and allow them to meet the credit needs of their customers through estimated stress scenarios. We seek to manage our capital consistent with these regulatory principles, and believe that our June 30, 2016 capital levels were aligned with them.

At June 30, 2016, PNC and PNC Bank, our sole bank subsidiary, were both considered “well capitalized,” based on applicable U.S. regulatory capital ratio requirements. To qualify as “well capitalized”, PNC must have Transitional Basel III capital ratios of at least 6% for Tier 1 risk-based

capital and 10% for Total risk-based capital, and PNC Bank must have Transitional Basel III capital ratios of at least 6.5% for Common equity Tier 1 risk-based capital, 8% for Tier 1 risk-based capital, 10% for Total risk-based capital, and a Leverage ratio of at least 5%.

We provide additional information regarding regulatory capital requirements and some of their potential impacts on PNC in the Supervision and Regulation section of Item 1 Business, Item 1A Risk Factors and Note 19 Regulatory Matters in the Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of our 2015 Form 10-K. See the Statistical Information (Unaudited) section of this Report for details on PNC’s December 31, 2015 and June 30, 2015 Transitional Basel III and Pro forma fully phased-in Basel III common equity tier 1 capital ratios.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS AND VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

We engage in a variety of activities that involve unconsolidated entities or that are otherwise not reflected in our Consolidated Balance Sheet that are generally referred to as “off-balance sheet arrangements.” Additional information on these types of activities is included in our 2015 Form 10-K and in the following sections of this Report:

   

Commitments, including contractual obligations and other commitments, included within the Risk Management section of this Financial Review,

   

Note 2 Loan Sale and Servicing Activities and Variable Interest Entities in the Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements, and

   

Note 13 Commitments and Guarantees in the Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements.

PNC consolidates variable interest entities (VIEs) when we are deemed to be the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary of a VIE is determined to be the party that meets both of the following criteria: (i) has the power to make decisions that most significantly affect the economic performance of the VIE and (ii) has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that in either case could potentially be significant to the VIE.

A summary of VIEs, including those that we have consolidated and those in which we hold variable interests but have not consolidated into our financial statements, as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, is included in Note 2 of this Report.

BUSINESS SEGMENTS REVIEW

We have six reportable business segments:

   

Retail Banking

   

Corporate & Institutional Banking

   

Asset Management Group

   

Residential Mortgage Banking

   

BlackRock

   

Non-Strategic Assets Portfolio

Business segment results, including the basis of presentation of inter-segment revenues, and a description of each business are included in Note 14 Segment Reporting included in the Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Report. Certain amounts included in this Business Segments Review and the Business Segments Highlights in the Executive Summary section of this Financial Review differ from those amounts shown in Note 14, primarily due to the presentation in this Financial Review of business net interest revenue on a taxable-equivalent basis.

Net interest income in business segment results reflects PNC’s internal funds transfer pricing methodology. Assets receive a funding charge and liabilities and capital receive a funding credit based on a transfer pricing methodology that incorporates product repricing characteristics, tenor and other factors.

(a) Presented as of June 30, except for customer-related statistics, which are averages for the six months ended, and net charge-offs and annualized net charge-off ratio, which are for the six months ended.
(b) Percentage of total consumer and business banking deposit transactions processed at an ATM or through our mobile banking application.

Retail Banking earned $575 million in the first six months of 2016 compared with earnings of $443 million for the first six months of 2015. The increase in earnings was driven by higher revenue, including both net interest income and noninterest income, as well as a decrease in noninterest expense. Retail Banking continues to enhance the customer experience with refinements to product offerings that drive product value for consumers and small businesses. We are focused on growing customer share of wallet through the sale of liquidity, banking, and investment products that meet the broad range of financial needs of our customers.

Retail Banking continued to focus on the strategic priority of transforming the customer experience through transaction migration, branch network transformation and multi-channel sales and service strategies.

   

In the first six months of 2016, approximately 57% of consumer customers used non-teller channels for the majority of their transactions compared with 51% for the same period in 2015.

   

Deposit transactions via ATM and mobile channels increased to 48% of total deposit transactions in the first six months of 2016 compared with 41% for the same period in 2015.

   

Integral to PNC’s retail branch transformation strategy, 467 branches, or 18% of the branch network, operate under the universal model designed to enhance sales opportunities for branch personnel, in part, by driving higher ATM and mobile deposits. PNC had a network of 2,601 branches and 8,993 ATMs at June 30, 2016.

   

Instant debit card issuance, which enables us to print a customer’s debit card in minutes, was available in 1,776 branches, or 68% of the branch network, as of June 30, 2016.

Net interest income increased in the comparison due to growth in deposit balances and interest rate spread on the value of deposits, partially offset by lower loan balances and interest rate spread compression on the value of loans.

Growth in noninterest income primarily resulted from execution on our share of wallet strategy, which drove increased consumer service fee income from payment-related products, specifically in debit card, credit card and merchant services, as well as increased brokerage fees. Noninterest income in the first six months of 2016 also reflected net gains of $63 million on sales of 1.35 million Visa Class B common shares compared with a net gain of $79 million on the sale of 1.0 million shares in the second quarter of 2015. Net gains on Visa sales include derivative fair value adjustments related to swap agreements with purchasers of Visa Class B common shares in connection with all prior sales.

The decline in noninterest expense in the comparison was due to lower marketing expense and reduced branch network

expenses as a result of network transformation and transaction migration to lower cost digital and ATM channels.

Provision for credit losses increased compared to the same period a year ago, reflecting slowing credit quality improvement.

The deposit strategy of Retail Banking is to remain disciplined on pricing, focused on growing and retaining relationship-based balances, executing on market specific deposit growth strategies, and providing a source of low-cost funding and liquidity to PNC.

In the first six months of 2016, average total deposits of $152.8 billion increased compared to the same period a year ago, driven by growth in savings deposits reflecting in part a shift from money market deposits to relationship-based savings products. Additionally, demand deposit categories increased, partially offset by a decline in certificates of deposit, due to the net runoff of maturing accounts.

Retail Banking continued to focus on a relationship-based lending strategy that targets specific products and markets for growth. The decline in average total loans in the comparison was due to a decline in home equity and commercial loans and runoff of non-strategic portions of the portfolios, as more fully described below.

   

Average home equity loans decreased as pay-downs and payoffs on loans exceeded new originated volume, consistent with lower mortgage refinance demand. Retail Banking’s home equity loan portfolio is relationship based, with over 97% of the portfolio attributable to borrowers in our primary geographic footprint. The weighted-average updated FICO scores for this portfolio was 752 at both June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

   

Average commercial and commercial real estate loans declined as pay-downs and payoffs on loans exceeded new volume.

   

Average automobile loans, comprised of both direct and indirect auto loans, increased primarily due to portfolio growth in previously underpenetrated markets.

   

Average credit card balances increased as a result of efforts to increase credit card share of wallet through organic growth.

   

In the first six months of 2016, average loan balances for the remainder of the portfolio declined $996 million, or 11%, compared to the same period in 2015, driven by declines in the discontinued government guaranteed education, indirect other, and residential mortgage portfolios, which are primarily runoff portfolios.

Nonperforming assets decreased compared to June 30, 2015 driven by declines in both consumer and commercial nonperforming loans.

See the additional revenue discussion regarding treasury management, capital markets-related products and services, and commercial mortgage banking activities in the Product Revenue section of the Corporate & Institutional Banking portion of this Business Segments Review section.
(d) Includes amounts reported in net interest income, corporate service fees and other noninterest income.
(e) Includes other noninterest income for valuations on commercial mortgage loans held for sale and related commitments, derivative valuations, origination fees, gains on sale of loans held for sale and net interest income on loans held for sale.

(g) Amounts reported in corporate services revenue.
(h) Includes nonperforming loans of $.7 billion at June 30, 2016 and $.4 billion at June 30, 2015.

 

Corporate & Institutional Banking earned $921 million in the first six months of 2016 compared with earnings of $990 million for the first six months of 2015. The decrease in earnings was primarily due to an increase in the provision for credit losses, partially offset by higher noninterest income. We continue to focus on building client relationships where the risk-return profile is attractive, including in the Southeast.

Net interest income decreased slightly in the comparison, as continued interest rate spread compression on loans and lower purchase accounting accretion were essentially offset by the impact of higher average loans and deposits as well as interest rate spread expansion on deposits.

Higher noninterest income in the comparison was primarily due to an equity investment gain and higher merger and acquisition advisory fees, structuring fees on asset securitizations and loan syndication fees. These increases were partially offset by lower multifamily loans originated for sale to agencies and lower revenue associated with credit valuations for customer-related derivative activities.

Overall credit quality for the first six months of 2016 remained relatively stable, except for deterioration related to certain energy related loans, which was the primary driver for the increases in provision for credit losses, net charge-offs and nonperforming assets in the year over year comparisons. Increased provision for credit losses also reflected the impact of continued loan growth.

Noninterest expense increased nominally in the comparison reflecting disciplined expense management.

Average loans increased in the comparison due to strong growth in Real Estate, partially offset by a decline in Corporate Banking:

   

PNC Real Estate provides banking, financing and servicing solutions for commercial real estate clients across the country. Higher average loans for this business was primarily due to growth in commercial lending driven by higher term and REIT lending.

   

Corporate Banking provides lending, treasury management and capital markets-related products and services to midsized and large corporations, government and not-for-profit entities. Average loans for this business declined in the comparison, reflecting the impact of ongoing capital and liquidity management activities, partially offset by increased lending to large corporate clients.

   

PNC Business Credit provides asset-based lending. The loan portfolio is relatively high yielding, with acceptable risk as the loans are mainly secured by short-term assets. Average loans for this business increased in the comparison due to new originations.

   

PNC Equipment Finance provides equipment financing solutions for clients throughout the U.S.

   

and Canada. Average loans, including commercial loans and finance leases, and operating leases were $11.8 billion in the first six months of 2016, stable with the first six months of 2015.

Average deposits increased slightly compared to the prior year period, as a result of interest-bearing demand deposit growth, mostly offset by decreases in noninterest-bearing demand deposits and money market deposits.

Growth in the commercial loan servicing portfolio was driven by servicing additions from new and existing customers exceeding portfolio run-off.

Product Revenue

In addition to credit and deposit products for commercial customers, Corporate & Institutional Banking offers other services, including treasury management, capital markets-related products and services, and commercial mortgage banking activities, for customers of all business segments. On a consolidated basis, the revenue from these other services is included in net interest income, corporate service fees and other noninterest income. From a segment perspective, the majority of the revenue and expense related to these services is reflected in the Corporate & Institutional Banking segment results and the remainder is reflected in the results of other businesses. The Other Information section in Table 19 in the Corporate & Institutional Banking portion of this Business Segments Review section includes the consolidated revenue to PNC for these services. A discussion of the consolidated revenue from these services follows.

Treasury management revenue, comprised of fees and net interest income from customer deposit balances, increased in the comparison to the prior year period, driven by liquidity-related revenue.

Capital markets-related products and services include foreign exchange, derivatives, securities, loan syndications, mergers and acquisitions advisory and equity capital markets advisory related services. Revenue from capital markets-related products and services increased slightly in the comparison, as higher merger and acquisition advisory fees, structuring fees on asset securitizations and loan syndication fees were mostly offset by lower revenue associated with credit valuations for customer-related derivative activities and lower equity capital markets advisory fees.

Commercial mortgage banking activities include revenue derived from commercial mortgage servicing (including net interest income and noninterest income) and revenue derived from commercial mortgage loans held for sale and related hedges. Total commercial mortgage banking activities decreased in the comparison due to lower multifamily loans originated for sale to agencies, partially offset by higher mortgage servicing revenue.

22    The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. – Form 10-Q


Asset Management Group earned $97 million through the first six months of 2016 compared with earnings of $99 million for the first six months of 2015. Earnings for the first six months of 2016 decreased compared with the first six months of 2015 due to lower revenue, partially offset by lower noninterest expense and provision for credit losses.

Total revenue declined in the comparison due to lower noninterest income reflecting a $30 million trust settlement in the second quarter of 2015 and lower average equity markets, partially offset by higher net interest income.

Noninterest expense declined primarily attributable to lower personnel expense. Asset Management Group remains focused on disciplined expense management as it invests in strategic growth opportunities.

The core growth strategies of the business include increasing sales sourced from other PNC lines of business, maximizing front line productivity and optimizing market presence in high opportunity markets. Wealth Management and Hawthorn have nearly 100 offices operating in 7 of the 10 most affluent states in the U.S. with a majority co-located with retail banking branches. The strategies primarily focus on growing client assets under management through expanding relationships directly and through cross-selling from PNC’s other lines of business.

Institutional Asset Management provides advisory, custody, and retirement administration services to institutional clients primarily within our banking footprint. The business also offers PNC proprietary mutual funds. Institutional Asset Management is strengthening its partnership with Corporate & Institutional Banking to drive growth and is focused on building retirement capabilities and expanding product solutions for all customers.

Discretionary client assets under management increased in the comparison to the prior year, primarily attributable to equity market increases as of June 30, 2016 compared to the prior year and new business activities.
