In billions

From Bill Demchak, PNC Chairman and Chief Executive Officer:
"Our strong second quarter performance reflects the disciplined execution of our growth strategy and positions us well for the second half of the year. We remain focused on delivering results that support our customers, shareholders and communities. Our successful FirstBank conversion, strong capital position and announced dividend increase provide further evidence of the strength and resilience of our franchise."

Acquisition of FirstBank

As of June 22, 2026, PNC has converted approximately 780,000 customers, more than 1,620 employees and 95 branches across Colorado and Arizona, merging FirstBank into PNC Bank. Second quarter of 2026 results include the full quarter benefit of FirstBank. First quarter of 2026 results include FirstBank operations since acquisition close on January 5, 2026.

Integration Costs and 2Q26 Significant Items

In the second quarter of 2026, PNC incurred integration costs related to the FirstBank acquisition of $127 million. Results for the quarter also reflected the impact of several significant items. PNC participated in the Visa exchange program monetizing 50% of its Visa Class B-2 shares resulting in a gain of $448 million and converting its remaining holdings into 0.9 million of Visa Class B-3 shares. This gain was substantially offset by a $140 million PNC Foundation contribution expense, a $139 million securities loss related to the repositioning of approximately $4 billion of available-for-sale investment securities into higher yielding instruments, and negative $85 million of Visa Class B-3 derivative fair value adjustments, driven by the extension of anticipated litigation resolution timing. The combined impact of both integration costs and 2Q26 significant items resulted in a $15 million decline in net income, or a 4 cent reduction to EPS.

The Consolidated Financial Highlights accompanying this news release include additional information regarding reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to reported (GAAP) amounts. This information supplements results as reported in accordance with GAAP and should not be viewed in isolation from, or as a substitute for, GAAP results. Information in this news release, including the financial tables, is unaudited.

Net interest income of $4.1 billion increased $146 million from the first quarter of 2026 and $552 million from the second quarter of 2025. In each comparison, the increase included the benefit of commercial loan growth and higher noninterest-bearing deposit balances. In comparison to the second quarter of 2025, the increase also reflected the benefit of FirstBank and lower funding costs.

Net interest margin was 2.96% in the second quarter of 2026, increasing 1 basis point from the first quarter of 2026. Compared to the second quarter of 2025, net interest margin expanded 16 basis points.

Noninterest Income

In comparison to the first quarter of 2026, fee income increased $200 million, or 10%, driven by growth across all fee categories. Asset management and brokerage fees increased $20 million as a result of higher average equity markets and increased client activity. Capital markets and advisory revenue increased $114 million driven by record merger and acquisition advisory fees as well as strong activity across other capital markets businesses. Card and cash management revenue increased $34 million due to seasonally higher consumer transaction volumes and growth in treasury management product revenue. Lending and deposit related revenue increased $6 million primarily due to increased customer activity. Residential and commercial mortgage revenue increased $26 million primarily driven by a first quarter of 2026 negative valuation of residential mortgage servicing rights, net of economic hedge, which did not recur.

Compared to the second quarter of 2025, fee income increased $385 million, or 20%, driven by an increase in capital markets and advisory revenue of $256 million as well as broad-based growth across the other fee income categories.

Other noninterest income of $489 million in the second quarter of 2026 included both integration costs and 2Q26 significant items totaling $218 million as well as positive valuation adjustments of private equity investments.

CONSOLIDATED EXPENSE REVIEW

Noninterest expense excluding both integration costs and 2Q26 significant items was $3.8 billion, increasing $166 million from the first quarter of 2026 and $454 million compared to the second quarter of 2025. In each comparison the increase reflected the impact of increased business activity, higher marketing spend and continued investments to support business growth. Compared with the second quarter of 2025, the increase also included the impact of FirstBank operating expenses.

The effective tax rate was 20.5% for the second quarter of 2026, 19.0% for the first quarter of 2026 and 18.8% for the second quarter of 2025.

CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET REVIEW

Average commercial loans increased $13.0 billion and $35.4 billion compared to the first quarter of 2026 and the second quarter of 2025, respectively. In comparison to the first quarter of 2026, growth was driven by strong new production and increased utilization. Compared to the second quarter of 2025, the increase was attributable to strong new production as well as acquired FirstBank loans.

Average consumer loans decreased $0.7 billion compared to the first quarter of 2026, primarily due to declines in both residential mortgage and auto loans, partially offset by growth in credit card loans. Compared to the second quarter of 2025, average consumer loans increased $5.0 billion driven by the benefit of FirstBank loans.

Loans at June 30, 2026 increased $7.0 billion and $41.6 billion from March 31, 2026 and June 30, 2025, respectively. In each comparison, the increase included growth in commercial loans, reflecting strong new production. Compared to the second quarter of 2025, the increase was also attributable to acquired FirstBank commercial and consumer loans.

Average Investment Securities

During the second quarter of 2026, PNC completed a repositioning of the investment securities portfolio, selling approximately $4 billion of available-for-sale securities with a weighted average yield of approximately 3.2%. The proceeds from the sale were then redeployed into an equivalent amount of investment securities with a weighted average yield of approximately 4.4%.

The duration of the investment securities portfolio was 3.6 years as of June 30, 2026 and March 31, 2026 and 3.4 years as of June 30, 2025. Net unrealized losses on available-for-sale securities were $2.1 billion at both June 30, 2026 and March 31, 2026 and $2.6 billion at June 30, 2025. 

Average Deposits

NIB - Noninterest-bearing

Average noninterest-bearing deposits as a percentage of total average deposits increased to 23% in the second quarter of 2026 from 22% in both the first quarter of 2026 and second quarter of 2025.

Average Borrowed Funds

Capital

In billions

PNC maintained a strong capital position. Common shareholders' equity at June 30, 2026 increased $0.3 billion from March 31, 2026 primarily due to net income, partially offset by dividends paid and share repurchases as well as a decline in accumulated other comprehensive income.

As a Category III institution, PNC has elected to exclude accumulated other comprehensive income related to both available-for-sale securities and pension and other post-retirement plans from CET1 capital. Accumulated other comprehensive income was negative $4.1 billion at June 30, 2026 compared to negative $3.8 billion at March 31, 2026 and negative $4.7 billion at June 30, 2025. The change in each comparison reflected the impact of interest rate movements on securities and swaps and the continued accretion of unrealized losses.

In the second quarter of 2026, PNC returned $1.3 billion of capital to shareholders, reflecting $0.7 billion of dividends on common shares and $0.6 billion of common share repurchases. The Stress Capital Buffer (SCB) framework permits capital return in amounts in excess of SCB minimum levels. Consistent with this framework, PNC had approximately 29% of the 100 million common shares still available for repurchase at June 30, 2026 under the repurchase program previously approved by our board of directors.

Share repurchase activity in the third quarter of 2026 is expected to approximate second quarter of 2026 share repurchase levels. PNC may adjust share repurchase activity depending on market and economic conditions, as well as other factors. PNC's SCB will be maintained at the regulatory minimum of 2.5% through September 30, 2027.

On July 6, 2026, the PNC board of directors raised the quarterly cash dividend on common stock to $2.00 per share, an increase of 30 cents, or 18%. The dividend is payable on August 5, 2026 to shareholders of record at the close of business July 20, 2026.

At June 30, 2026, PNC was considered "well capitalized" based on applicable U.S. regulatory capital ratio requirements. For additional information regarding PNC's Basel III capital ratios, see Capital Ratios in the Consolidated Financial Highlights.

(b) Excludes allowances for investment securities and other financial assets

(c) Total delinquencies represent accruing loans 30 days or more past due

Provision for credit losses was $191 million in the second quarter of 2026 and reflected portfolio activity as well as updates to macroeconomic factors. Provision for credit losses was $210 million in the first quarter of 2026 and $254 million in the second quarter of 2025.

Net loan charge-offs were $226 million in the second quarter of 2026, decreasing $27 million compared to the first quarter of 2026. The decrease was primarily due to FirstBank acquired net loan charge-offs of $45 million recognized in the first quarter. Compared to the second quarter of 2025, net loan charge-offs increased $28 million primarily due to higher commercial loan net charge-offs.

The allowance for credit losses was $5.5 billion at both June 30, 2026 and March 31, 2026 and $5.3 billion at June 30, 2025. The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of total loans was 1.48% at June 30, 2026, 1.52% at March 31, 2026 and 1.62% at June 30, 2025.

 Delinquencies at June 30, 2026 were $1.4 billion, decreasing $122 million from March 31, 2026 due to lower commercial loan delinquencies. Compared to June 30, 2025, delinquencies increased $133 million due to higher consumer loan delinquencies.

Nonperforming loans of $2.0 billion at June 30, 2026 decreased $216 million compared to March 31, 2026 and $81 million compared to June 30, 2025. In both comparisons, the decrease was driven by lower commercial real estate nonperforming loans.

CAPITAL RATIOS

PNC's regulatory risk-based capital ratios in 2026 are calculated using the standardized approach for determining risk-weighted assets. 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 and equity exposures are generally subject to higher risk weights than other types of exposures.

Our Basel III capital ratios may be impacted by changes to the regulatory capital rules and additional regulatory guidance or analysis. The following table summarizes our March 31, 2026, June 30, 2025 and estimated June 30, 2026 capital balances and ratios.

Fee income is a non-GAAP measure and is comprised of noninterest income in the following categories: asset management and brokerage, capital markets and advisory, card and cash management, lending and deposit services, and residential and commercial mortgage. We believe this non-GAAP measure serves as a useful tool for comparison of noninterest income related to fees.

Pretax pre-provision earnings is a non-GAAP measure and is based on adjusting income before income taxes and noncontrolling interests to exclude provision for credit losses. We believe that pretax, pre-provision earnings is a useful tool to help evaluate the ability to provide for credit costs through operations and provides an additional basis to compare results between periods by isolating the impact of provision for credit losses, which can vary significantly between periods.

Noninterest Income Excluding Integration Costs and 2Q26 Significant Items (non-GAAP)

Noninterest expense excluding integration costs and 2Q26 significant items is a non-GAAP measure and is based on adjusting noninterest expense to exclude integration costs related to the FirstBank acquisition and 2Q26 significant items during the period. The 2Q26 significant items are described in the Integration Costs and 2Q26 Significant Items section on page 2. We believe this non-GAAP measure to be a useful tool for comparison of operating expenses incurred during the normal course of business. The exclusion of integration costs and 2Q26 significant items increases comparability across periods, demonstrates the impact of significant items and provides a useful measure for determining PNC's expenses that are core to our business operations and expected to recur over time.

Noninterest income excluding integration costs and 2Q26 significant items is a non-GAAP measure and is based on adjusting noninterest income to exclude integration costs related to the FirstBank acquisition and 2Q26 significant items during the period. The 2Q26 significant items are described in the Integration Costs and 2Q26 Significant Items section on page 2. We believe this non-GAAP measure to be a useful tool for comparison of noninterest income earned during the normal course of business. The exclusion of integration costs and 2Q26 significant items increases comparability across periods, demonstrates the impact of significant items and provides a useful measure for determining PNC's noninterest income generating activities that are core to our business operations and expected to recur over time.

Tangible Book Value per Common Share (non-GAAP)

Tangible book value per common share is a non-GAAP measure and is calculated based on tangible common shareholders' equity divided by period-end common shares outstanding. We believe this non-GAAP measure serves as a useful tool to help evaluate the strength and discipline of a company's capital management strategies and as an additional, conservative measure of total company value.

Return on average tangible common equity is a non-GAAP measure and is calculated based on annualized net income attributable to common shareholders divided by tangible common equity. We believe this non-GAAP measure serves as a useful tool to help measure and assess a company's use of common equity.

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 income, we use interest income on a taxable-equivalent basis 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 GAAP. Taxable-equivalent net interest income is only used for calculating net interest margin. Net interest income shown elsewhere in this presentation is GAAP net interest income.
