Noninterest income for the second quarter of 2019 increased $130 million compared with the first quarter due to increases in all categories of fee income and higher other noninterest income. Asset management revenue, including earnings from PNC's equity investment in BlackRock, increased $8 million reflecting higher average equity markets. Consumer services increased $21 million primarily due to seasonally higher debit card and merchant services revenue. Corporate services increased $22 million driven by higher treasury management product revenue and loan syndication fees. Residential mortgage revenue increased $17 million as positive adjustments for residential mortgage servicing rights valuation, net of economic hedge, and higher loan sales revenue were partially offset by lower servicing fee income. Other noninterest income increased $59 million primarily as a result of higher capital markets-related revenue and asset gains, which included a gain on the sale of the retirement recordkeeping business and the impact of negative derivative fair value adjustments related to Visa Class B common shares of $16 million in the second quarter compared with $31 million in the first quarter.

Noninterest income for the second quarter of 2019 increased $30 million compared with the second quarter of 2018. Asset management revenue, including earnings from PNC's equity investment in BlackRock, declined $11 million. Consumer services increased $11 million driven by higher debit and credit card revenue. Corporate services decreased $3 million as higher treasury management product revenue was more than offset by lower loan syndication fees and a lower benefit from commercial mortgage servicing rights valuation, net of economic hedge. Other noninterest income increased $33 million reflecting the gain on the sale of the retirement recordkeeping business and higher net securities gains partially offset by the impact of negative Visa Class B derivative fair value adjustments in the second quarter of 2019 compared with positive adjustments in the second quarter of 2018.

Noninterest expense for the second quarter of 2019 increased $33 million compared with the first quarter. Equipment expense increased due to asset write-offs associated with the sale of the retirement recordkeeping business. Higher marketing and other expense reflected costs for business initiatives including PNC's national retail digital strategy. These increases were partially offset by lower personnel expense related to incentive compensation.

Noninterest expense for the second quarter of 2019 increased $27 million compared with the second quarter of 2018 as a result of the asset write-offs and ongoing business investments reflected in higher personnel, occupancy and marketing expense. These increases were offset in part by a decrease in FDIC insurance due to the elimination of the surcharge.

The effective tax rate was 16.6 percent for the second quarter of 2019, 16.3 percent for the first quarter of 2019 and 18.3 percent for the second quarter of 2018.

CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET REVIEW

Average total assets of $397.0 billion in the second quarter of 2019 increased 3 percent compared with $385.9 billion in the first quarter of 2019 driven by loan growth, an increase in other assets reflecting higher unsettled securities sales, and higher investment securities. Average total assets increased 6 percent compared with $375.6 billion in the second quarter of 2018 primarily due to higher loans and investment securities. Total assets were $405.8 billion at June 30, 2019, $392.8 billion at March 31, 2019 and $380.7 billion at June 30, 2018.

Average deposits for the second quarter of 2019 increased $5.7 billion compared with the first quarter due to growth in both commercial and consumer deposits. Deposits at June 30, 2019 increased $2.1 billion over March 31, 2019 as growth in commercial deposits was partially offset by seasonally lower consumer demand deposits. Second quarter 2019 average and period-end deposits increased $11.9 billion and $8.4 billion, respectively, compared with second quarter 2018. Growth in interest-bearing deposits in the comparisons was attributable to higher commercial deposits, in part reflecting a shift from noninterest-bearing, and higher consumer deposits, including from the national retail digital strategy.

Average borrowed funds for the second quarter of 2019 increased $2.5 billion compared with the first quarter due to higher bank notes and senior debt and Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings. Borrowed funds at June 30, 2019 increased $9.2 billion compared with March 31, 2019 as a result of an increase in primarily short-term Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings near the end of the second quarter. Average and period-end borrowed funds for the second quarter of 2019 increased $3.4 billion and $9.8 billion, respectively, compared with the second quarter of 2018 due to increases in Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings and federal funds purchased, which were partially offset by lower bank notes and senior debt in the average balance comparison.

PNC maintained a strong capital position. Common shareholders' equity at June 30, 2019 increased $.8 billion compared with March 31, 2019 due to second quarter net income partially offset by share repurchases and dividends, and to higher accumulated other comprehensive income related to net unrealized securities gains.

 

PNC returned $1.2 billion of capital to shareholders in the second quarter of 2019 through repurchases of 6.0 million common shares for $802 million and dividends on common shares of $431 million. PNC completed common stock repurchase programs of $2.6 billion and repurchased $.2 billion related to employee benefit plans for the four quarter period ending in the second quarter of 2019. Capital returned to shareholders totaled $4.5 billion over this period through repurchases of 21.4 million common shares for $2.8 billion and dividends on common shares of $1.7 billion.

In June 2019 PNC announced share repurchase programs of up to $4.3 billion for the four quarter period beginning in the third quarter of 2019. Repurchases will be made under a new 100 million share repurchase authorization effective July 1, 2019.

On July 9, 2019, the PNC board of directors raised the quarterly cash dividend on common stock to $1.15 per share, an increase of 20 cents per share, or 21 percent, effective with the August 5, 2019 dividend payment date.

Overall credit quality for the second quarter of 2019 remained strong. Provision for credit losses for the second quarter decreased $9 million compared with the first quarter. A lower provision for the consumer loan portfolio driven by auto loans was partially offset by a higher provision for the commercial lending portfolio reflecting loan growth and reserve increases attributable to certain commercial credits.

 

Nonperforming assets at June 30, 2019 increased $65 million compared with March 31, 2019 primarily due to higher nonperforming commercial and commercial real estate loans partially offset by lower nonperforming home equity loans. Nonperforming assets were relatively stable with June 30, 2018 as higher nonperforming loans in the commercial lending portfolio were offset by lower nonperforming consumer loans. Nonperforming assets to total assets were .46 percent at June 30, 2019, .45 percent at March 31, 2019 and .49 percent at June 30, 2018.

Overall delinquencies at June 30, 2019 declined $127 million, or 9 percent, compared with March 31, 2019. Accruing loans 30 to 59 days past due decreased $84 million reflecting lower commercial lending portfolio delinquencies as well as lower past due residential mortgage loans offset by higher past due auto loans. Accruing loans past due 60 to 89 days increased $23 million primarily due to consumer loans. Accruing loans past due 90 days or more decreased $66 million across consumer loan categories and in commercial loans.

Net charge-offs for the second quarter of 2019 increased $6 million compared with the first quarter due to higher commercial loan net charge-offs partially offset by lower consumer loan net charge-offs. Compared with second quarter 2018, net charge-offs increased $33 million driven by higher commercial loan net charge-offs. Net charge-offs were .24 percent of average loans on an annualized basis for both the second and first quarters of 2019 and .20 percent for the second quarter of 2018.

The allowance for loan and lease losses to total loans was 1.15 percent at June 30, 2019 compared with 1.16 percent at both March 31, 2019 and June 30, 2018. The allowance to nonperforming loans of 158 percent at June 30, 2019 decreased compared with 163 percent at March 31, 2019 and increased compared with 150 percent at June 30, 2018.

Retail Banking earnings for the second quarter of 2019 increased in both comparisons. Noninterest income increased compared with the first quarter due to growth in consumer services, including seasonally higher debit card and merchant services fees, higher residential mortgage revenue attributable to favorable residential mortgage servicing rights valuation adjustments, net of economic hedge, and to increased loan sales, and lower negative derivative fair value adjustments related to Visa Class B common shares. Noninterest income decreased compared with the second quarter of 2018 due to the negative impact of Visa derivative fair value adjustments partially offset by growth in consumer services, including higher debit and credit card fees. Provision for credit losses decreased compared with the first quarter as a result of lower auto loan portfolio reserves. Noninterest expense increased in both comparisons due to higher marketing, including expenses related to the national retail digital strategy, an increase in customer-related transaction costs, and increased ATM expense driven by checking product simplification.

  • Average loans increased 1 percent compared with first quarter 2019 and 4 percent compared with second quarter 2018 due to growth in residential mortgage, auto, credit card and unsecured installment loans partially offset by lower home equity and education loans.
  • Average deposits grew 2 percent compared with first quarter 2019 and 4 percent compared with second quarter 2018 as a result of increases in savings, demand and certificates of deposit partially offset by lower money market deposits reflecting a shift to relationship-based savings products.
  • Net charge-offs were $120 million for the second quarter of 2019 compared with $132 million in the first quarter and $112 million in the second quarter of 2018.
  • Residential mortgage loan origination volume increased to $2.9 billion for the second quarter of 2019 compared with $1.7 billion for the first quarter and $2.0 billion for the second quarter of 2018. Approximately 54 percent of second quarter 2019 volume was for home purchase transactions compared with 56 percent and 71 percent for the first quarter of 2019 and second quarter of 2018, respectively.
  • The third party residential mortgage servicing portfolio was $124 billion at June 30, 2019 compared with $123 billion at March 31, 2019 and $124 billion at June 30, 2018. Residential mortgage loan servicing acquisitions were $5 billion for second quarter 2019 compared with $1 billion for the first quarter and $3 billion for the second quarter of 2018.
  • Approximately 69 percent of consumer customers used non-teller channels for the majority of their transactions during the second quarter of 2019 compared with 68 percent in the first quarter and 65 percent in the second quarter of 2018.
  • Deposit transactions via ATM and mobile channels were 56 percent of total deposit transactions in the second quarter of 2019 compared with 57 percent in the first quarter and 54 percent in the second quarter of 2018.

Corporate & Institutional Banking earnings for the second quarter of 2019 increased compared with the first quarter of 2019 and decreased compared with the second quarter of 2018. Noninterest income increased in both comparisons primarily due to broad-based growth in capital markets-related revenue and treasury management product revenue. The comparison to the first quarter also benefited from higher revenue from commercial mortgage banking activities. Provision for credit losses in the second quarter of 2019 increased compared with the first quarter reflecting portfolio growth and reserve increases attributable to certain commercial credits. Noninterest expense increased in both comparisons largely due to investments in strategic initiatives and variable costs associated with increased business activity.

  • Average loans increased 4 percent compared with the first quarter and 7 percent compared with the second quarter of 2018 primarily driven by commercial loan growth in PNC's corporate banking and business credit businesses. Multifamily agency warehouse lending activity and commercial real estate lending also contributed to the loan growth over the first quarter.
  • Average deposits increased 2 percent compared with the first quarter and 6 percent compared with the second quarter of 2018 due to growth in interest-bearing deposits including a shift from noninterest-bearing demand deposits.
  • Net charge-offs were $23 million in the second quarter of 2019 compared with $5 million in the first quarter of 2019 and a net recovery position of $2 million in the second quarter of 2018.
  • PNC has formalized plans to expand its middle market business into the Portland and Seattle markets in 2020, following expansion into the Boston and Phoenix markets in 2019.

Asset Management Group earnings for the second quarter of 2019 increased in both comparisons. Noninterest income increased as a result of the gain on sale of the retirement recordkeeping business and due to increases in the average equity markets. Noninterest expense increased due to costs associated with the sale transaction, including asset write-offs.

Client assets under administration at June 30, 2019 included discretionary client assets under management of $162 billion and nondiscretionary client assets under administration of $132 billion. Discretionary client assets under management increased $4 billion compared with March 31, 2019 and $13 billion compared with June 30, 2018 primarily attributable to equity market increases and, in the second quarter 2018 comparison, net business activities.

The Asset Management Group entered into a definitive agreement on May 7, 2019 to divest components of its PNC Capital Advisors investment management business, including its PNC family of proprietary mutual funds of approximately $19 billion in assets under management as of June 30, 2019. The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2019.

(a)

Net interest margin is the total yield on interest-earning assets minus the total rate on interest-bearing liabilities and includes the benefit from use of noninterest-bearing sources. To provide more meaningful comparisons of net interest margins, we use interest income on a taxable-equivalent basis in calculating net interest yields used in the calculation of 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, 2019, March 31, 2019 and June 30, 2018 were $27 million, $27 million and $29 million, respectively. The taxable equivalent adjustments to net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018 were $54 million and $58 million, respectively.

(b)

Calculated as noninterest expense divided by total revenue. 

(c)

Our business information is presented based on our internal management reporting practices. Net interest income in business segment results reflect 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. 

(d)

Includes earnings and gains or losses related to PNC's equity interest in BlackRock and residual activities that do not meet the criteria for disclosure as a separate reportable business. We provide additional information on these activities in our Form 10-K and Form 10-Q filings with the SEC.

CAPITAL RATIOS

 

Because PNC remains in the parallel run qualification phase for the advanced approaches, PNC's regulatory risk-based capital ratios in 2019 and 2018 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.

 

We provide information below regarding PNC's Basel III Common equity Tier 1 capital ratios. Under the Basel III rules applicable to PNC, significant common stock investments in unconsolidated financial institutions (for PNC, primarily BlackRock), mortgage servicing rights and deferred tax assets must be deducted from capital (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 accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) related to securities currently, and those transferred from, available for sale, as well as pension and other postretirement plans.

All ratios are calculated using the regulatory capital methodology applicable to PNC during each period presented.

(b)

Basel III standardized approach risk-weighted assets are based on the Basel III standardized approach rules and include credit and market risk-weighted assets.

(c)

Basel III advanced approaches risk-weighted assets are 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.

Our Basel III capital ratios may be impacted by changes to the regulatory capital rules, additional regulatory guidance or analysis, and, in the case of those ratios calculated using the advanced approaches, may be subject to variability based on the ongoing evolution, validation and regulatory approval of PNC's models that are integral to the calculation of advanced approaches risk-weighted assets as PNC moves through the parallel run approval process.

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.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information

We make statements in this news release and related conference call, and we may from time to time make other statements, regarding our outlook for earnings, revenues, expenses, tax rates, capital and liquidity levels and ratios, asset levels, asset quality, financial position, and other matters regarding or affecting PNC and its future business and operations that are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act.  Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words such as "believe," "plan," "expect," "anticipate," "see," "look," "intend," "outlook," "project," "forecast," "estimate," "goal," "will," "should" and other similar words and expressions.

Forward-looking statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties, which change over time.  Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date made.  We do not assume any duty to update forward-looking statements.  Actual results or future events could differ, possibly materially, from those anticipated in forward-looking statements, as well as from historical performance.

Our forward-looking statements are subject to the following principal risks and uncertainties.

  • Our businesses, financial results and balance sheet values are affected by business and economic conditions, including the following:
    • Changes in interest rates and valuations in debt, equity and other financial markets.
    • Disruptions in the U.S. and global financial markets.
    • Actions by the Federal Reserve Board, U.S. Treasury and other government agencies, including those that impact money supply and market interest rates.
    • Changes in customer behavior due to recently enacted tax legislation, changing business and economic conditions or legislative or regulatory initiatives.
    • Changes in customers', suppliers' and other counterparties' performance and creditworthiness.
    • Impacts of tariffs and other trade policies of the U.S. and its global trading partners.
    • Slowing or reversal of the current U.S. economic expansion.
    • Commodity price volatility.
           
  • Our forward-looking financial statements are subject to the risk that economic and financial market conditions will be substantially different than those we are currently expecting and do not take into account potential legal and regulatory contingencies. These statements are based on our views that:
    • U.S. economic growth has accelerated over the past two years to above its long-run trend. However, growth is expected to slow over the course of 2019 and into 2020.
    • We expect that further gradual improvement in the labor market this year, including job gains and rising wages, will be another positive for consumer spending.
    • Slower global economic growth, trade restrictions and geopolitical concerns are downside risks to the forecast.
    • Inflation has slowed in early 2019, to below the FOMC's 2 percent objective, but is expected to gradually increase over the next two years.
    • Our baseline forecast is for two 0.25 percentage point cuts to the federal funds rate in July and October 2019, taking the rate to a range of 1.75 to 2.00 percent by the end of 2019.
          
  • PNC's ability to take certain capital actions, including returning capital to shareholders, is subject to review by the Federal Reserve Board as part of PNC's comprehensive capital plan for the applicable period in connection with the Federal Reserve Board's Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review (CCAR) process and to the acceptance of such capital plan and non-objection to such capital actions by the Federal Reserve Board.
        
  • PNC's regulatory capital ratios in the future will depend on, among other things, the company's financial performance, the scope and terms of final capital regulations then in effect and management actions affecting the composition of PNC's balance sheet. In addition, PNC's ability to determine, evaluate and forecast regulatory capital ratios, and to take actions (such as capital distributions) based on actual or forecasted capital ratios, will be dependent at least in part on the development, validation and regulatory review of related models.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information (Continued)

  • Legal and regulatory developments could have an impact on our ability to operate our businesses, financial condition, results of operations, competitive position, reputation, or pursuit of attractive acquisition opportunities. Reputational impacts could affect matters such as business generation and retention, liquidity, funding, and ability to attract and retain management. These developments could include:
    • Changes to laws and regulations, including changes affecting oversight of the financial services industry, consumer protection, bank capital and liquidity standards, pension, bankruptcy and other industry aspects, and changes in accounting policies and principles.
    • Unfavorable resolution of legal proceedings or other claims and regulatory and other governmental investigations or other inquiries. These matters may result in monetary judgments or settlements or other remedies, including fines, penalties, restitution or alterations in our business practices, and in additional expenses and collateral costs, and may cause reputational harm to PNC.
    • Results of the regulatory examination and supervision process, including our failure to satisfy requirements of agreements with governmental agencies.
    • Impact on business and operating results of any costs associated with obtaining rights in intellectual property claimed by others and of adequacy of our intellectual property protection in general.
           
  • Business and operating results are affected by our ability to identify and effectively manage risks inherent in our businesses, including, where appropriate, through effective use of systems and controls, third-party insurance, derivatives, and capital management techniques, and to meet evolving regulatory capital and liquidity standards.
       
  • Business and operating results also include impacts relating to our equity interest in BlackRock, Inc. and rely to a significant extent on information provided to us by BlackRock. Risks and uncertainties that could affect BlackRock are discussed in more detail by BlackRock in its SEC filings.
       
  • We grow our business in part through acquisitions and new strategic initiatives. Risks and uncertainties include those presented by the nature of the business acquired and strategic initiative, including in some cases those associated with our entry into new businesses or new geographic or other markets and risks resulting from our inexperience in those new areas, as well as risks and uncertainties related to the acquisition transactions themselves, regulatory issues, and the integration of the acquired businesses into PNC after closing.
       
  • Competition can have an impact on customer acquisition, growth and retention and on credit spreads and product pricing, which can affect market share, deposits and revenues. Our ability to anticipate and respond to technological changes can also impact our ability to respond to customer needs and meet competitive demands.
         
  • Business and operating results can also be affected by widespread natural and other disasters, pandemics, dislocations, terrorist activities, system failures, security breaches, cyberattacks or international hostilities through impacts on the economy and financial markets generally or on us or our counterparties specifically.

We provide greater detail regarding these as well as other factors in our 2018 Form 10-K and first quarter 2019 Form 10-Q, including in the Risk Factors and Risk Management sections and the Legal Proceedings and Commitments Notes of the Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements in those reports, and in our subsequent SEC filings.  Our forward-looking statements may also be subject to other risks and uncertainties, including those we may discuss elsewhere in this news release or in our SEC filings, accessible on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov and on our corporate website at www.pnc.com/secfilings.  We have included these web addresses as inactive textual references only.  Information on these websites is not part of this document.
