From Bill Demchak, PNC Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer:


















  "PNC had a successful second quarter. We closed on our acquisition of BBVA USA earlier than anticipated, organically grew fee income, deployed excess liquidity through securities purchases and maintained solid credit quality metrics. Underscoring our strong financial position and commitment to capital return, our board recently approved a 10 cent per share, or 9%, increase to our common stock dividend and announced $2.9 billion in share repurchase programs. Looking ahead, we are working towards a successful conversion of BBVA USA and are excited about the substantial opportunities for growth and efficiency improvements as we move forward as a combined company.




















Closed acquisition of BBVA USA Bancshares, Inc.

  • On June 1, 2021, PNC completed the acquisition of BBVA USA Bancshares, Inc., including its U.S. banking subsidiary BBVA USA, from the Spanish financial group BBVA S.A. PNC second quarter financial results include the impact of BBVA USA operations for the month of June 2021.
    • Purchase price of $11.5 billion in cash.
    • Net fair value premium of $322 million will be amortized through net interest income over time.
    • On track to realize $900 million in cost saves in 2022.
    • Expect to incur a total of $980 million in merger and integration related costs; the majority of which will be incurred in 2021.
    • Conversion of customers, branches and systems is expected to occur in October 2021.

Income Statement Highlights

Second quarter 2021 compared with first quarter 2021

  • Net income of $1.1 billion decreased $723 million, or 40%, primarily due to the initial provision for credit losses related to the acquisition of BBVA USA.
  • Total revenue of $4.7 billion increased $447 million, or 11%, reflecting the BBVA USA acquisition and an increase in PNC legacy noninterest income.
  • Net interest income of $2.6 billion increased $233 million, or 10%, driven by the acquired interest earning assets of BBVA USA and higher securities balances, partially offset by lower yields on PNC legacy interest earning assets.
    • Net interest margin of 2.29% increased 2 basis points and included the interest earning assets acquired from BBVA USA.
  • Noninterest income of $2.1 billion increased $214 million, or 11%, including $80 million from BBVA USA.
    • Fee income of $1.6 billion, including $62 million from BBVA USA, increased $229 million, or 16%, driven by growth in PNC legacy corporate and consumer services, primarily resulting from increased business activity.

Noninterest expense also increased due to growth in business and marketing activity during the second quarter.
  • Provision for credit losses was $302 million, as a provision recapture of $704 million, primarily driven by improvements in credit quality and macroeconomic factors as well as balance reductions, was more than offset by an initial provision for credit losses related to the BBVA USA acquisition of $1.0 billion.

Total revenue for the second quarter of 2021 increased $447 million compared with the first quarter of 2021 and $591 million compared with the second quarter of 2020. In both comparisons the increase was largely due to the June 1, 2021 acquisition of BBVA USA, which contributed $316 million to total revenue, including $236 million of net interest income, $62 million of fee income and $18 million of other noninterest income. Both comparisons also benefited from higher PNC legacy noninterest income as a result of increased business activity. 

Net interest income of $2.6 billion for the second quarter of 2021 increased $233 million compared to the first quarter driven by the acquired interest earning assets of BBVA USA and higher securities balances, partially offset by lower yields on PNC legacy interest earning assets. In comparison with the second quarter of 2020, net interest income increased $54 million as a result of acquired interest earning assets and lower rates on deposits, partially offset by lower PNC legacy loans outstanding and securities yields.

The net interest margin was 2.29% in the second quarter of 2021, 2.27% in the first quarter and 2.52% in the second quarter of 2020. The increase compared to the first quarter of 2021 was largely due to the addition of BBVA USA's interest earning assets, partially offset by lower yields on securities. Compared with the second quarter of 2020, the decrease primarily reflected higher average balances held with the Federal Reserve Bank.

Other noninterest income decreased $15 million and included a negative Visa Class B derivative fair value adjustment, lower net securities gains and higher private equity revenue.

Noninterest income for the second quarter of 2021 increased $537 million compared with the second quarter of 2020.

The second quarter of 2021 included integration expenses of $101 million, BBVA USA related operating expenses of $179 million and additions to second quarter legal reserves of $80 million related to various matters. In both comparisons the increase was also driven by growth in business and marketing activity during the second quarter of 2021.

The effective tax rate from continuing operations was 16.1% for the second quarter of 2021, 16.9% for the first quarter of 2021 and 17.5% for the second quarter of 2020.


CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET REVIEW

Total assets were $554.2 billion at June 30, 2021, $474.4 billion at March 31, 2021 and $459.0 billion at June 30, 2020. Second quarter 2021 balance sheet growth in both comparisons reflected the addition of assets from the BBVA USA acquisition. In comparison with the second quarter of 2020, the increase is also attributable to higher balances maintained with the Federal Reserve Bank reflecting deposit growth.

PNC maintained a strong capital position. Common shareholders' equity at June 30, 2021 increased $0.8 billion from March 31, 2021 as second quarter net income and an increase in accumulated other comprehensive income more than offset dividends paid during the second quarter. 

In the second quarter of 2021, PNC returned capital to shareholders through dividends on common shares of $0.5 billion and refrained from repurchasing shares due to the BBVA USA transaction.

In June 2021, PNC announced the reinstatement of share repurchase programs with repurchases of up to $2.9 billion for the four-quarter period beginning in the third quarter of 2021.

On July 1, 2021, the PNC board of directors raised the quarterly cash dividend on common stock to $1.25 cents per share, an increase of 10 cents per share, or 9%, effective with the August 5, 2021 dividend payment.

For information regarding PNC's Basel III capital ratios, see Capital Ratios in the Consolidated Financial Highlights. The 2019 Tailoring Rules became effective for PNC as of January 1, 2020. PNC elected a five-year transition provision effective March 31, 2020 to delay for two years the full impact of the Current Expected Credit Losses (CECL) standard on regulatory capital, followed by a three-year transition period. The fully implemented ratios reflect the full impact of CECL and exclude the benefits of this transition provision.

The second quarter of 2021 credit quality performance included the June 1, 2021 acquisition of BBVA USA and the associated purchase accounting impacts. PNC legacy credit quality improved across all metrics.

Provision for credit losses was $302 million in the second quarter of 2021, as a provision recapture of $704 million, primarily driven by improvements in credit quality and macroeconomic factors as well as balance reductions, was more than offset by an initial provision for credit losses of $1.0 billion related to the BBVA USA acquisition. The first quarter included a provision recapture of $551 million.

Net loan charge-offs were $306 million and included BBVA USA net loan charge-offs of $248 million, primarily representing the purchase accounting treatment for certain loans that were previously charged-off by BBVA USA, and PNC legacy net loan charge-offs of $58 million. Total net loan charge-offs increased $160 million and $70 million compared with March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2020, respectively. In both comparisons the increase was driven by the impact of the BBVA USA acquisition, partially offset by lower PNC legacy commercial and consumer net loan charge-offs.

PNC legacy commercial net loan charge-offs were $8 million for the second quarter of 2021, decreasing $43 million from the first quarter of 2021 primarily due to lower commercial and industrial net loan charge-offs. PNC legacy consumer loan net charge-offs were $50 million in the second quarter of 2021, declining $45 million from the first quarter of 2021 largely due to lower gross charge-offs related to auto and credit card loans.

The allowance for credit losses was $6.4 billion at June 30, 2021, $5.2 billion at March 31, 2021 and $6.6 billion at June 30, 2020. The allowance for credit losses at June 30, 2021 included the impact of BBVA USA's initial provision for credit losses of $1.0 billion and fair value purchase accounting credit marks of $1.2 billion, partially offset by a provision recapture of $704 million and net loan charge-offs of $306 million. The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of total loans was 2.16% at June 30, 2021 and included the allowance for credit losses to total BBVA USA loans of 3.07%. The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of total loans was 2.20% at March 31, 2021 and 2.55% at June 30, 2020.

Nonperforming assets at June 30, 2021 of $2.8 billion included $880 million of nonperforming assets acquired from BBVA USA, increasing $639 million and $863 million compared with March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2020, respectively. In both comparisons the increase was primarily due to nonperforming assets acquired from BBVA USA. Compared with March 31, 2021, PNC legacy nonperforming assets decreased $241 million reflecting improved credit performance.

Overall delinquencies at June 30, 2021 of $1.3 billion included $291 million acquired from BBVA USA, increasing $144 million compared to March 31, 2021 driven by delinquencies acquired from BBVA USA, partially offset by lower PNC legacy commercial and consumer delinquencies. Compared to June 30, 2020 delinquencies decreased $20 million. Under the CARES Act credit reporting rules and guidance from regulatory agencies, certain loans modified due to pandemic-related hardships were considered current during their modification period and not reported as past due.

(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 net interest income on a taxable-equivalent basis in calculating average 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, 2021, March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2020 were $15 million, $15 million and $19 million, respectively. The taxable equivalent adjustments to net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020 were $30 million and $41 million, respectively.

(b) 

Calculated as noninterest expense divided by total revenue.

CAPITAL RATIOS

As of January 1, 2020, the 2019 Tailoring Rules became effective for PNC. The most significant changes involve PNC's election to exclude specific accumulated other comprehensive income items from common equity Tier 1 capital and higher thresholds used to calculate common equity Tier 1 capital deductions. Effective January 1, 2020, PNC must deduct from common equity Tier 1 capital investments in unconsolidated financial institutions, mortgage servicing rights and deferred tax assets (in each case, net of associated deferred tax liabilities) to the extent such items individually exceed 25% of the institution's adjusted common equity Tier 1 capital.

PNC's regulatory risk-based capital ratios in 2021 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.

During 2020, regulators adopted a final rule permitting banks that have adopted the CECL standard to delay for two years CECL's full impact on regulatory capital, relative to the incurred loss methodology's impact on regulatory capital, followed by a three year transition period.  PNC elected to adopt this optional five-year transition provision effective as of March 31, 2020.  See the table below for the March 31, 2021 ratio and estimated June 30, 2021 ratio. For the full impact of PNC's adoption of CECL, which excludes the benefits of the five-year transition provision, see the June 30, 2021 and March 31, 2021 (Fully Implemented) estimates presented in the table below.

Our Basel III capital ratios may be impacted by changes to the regulatory capital rules and additional regulatory guidance or analysis.

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.

Pretax pre-provision earnings is a non-GAAP measure and is based on adjusting income from continuing operations before income taxes and noncontrolling interests to add back provision for (recapture of) 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 (recapture of) credit losses, which can vary significantly between periods.

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 and net interest income shown elsewhere in this presentation is GAAP net interest income.

The adjusted diluted earnings per common share is a non-GAAP measure and includes the impact of the BBVA USA acquisition. It is calculated based on adjusting net income attributable to diluted common shareholders by adding back the initial provision for credit losses recorded on June 1, 2021 and integration costs in the second quarter of 2021. We believe this non-GAAP measure serves as a useful tool in understanding PNC's results by providing greater comparability with prior periods, as well as demonstrating the effect of significant items.

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 us and our 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 necessarily subject to numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties, which change over time.  Future events or circumstances may change our outlook and may also affect the nature of the assumptions, risks and uncertainties to which our forward-looking statements are subject.  Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date made.  We do not assume any duty and do not undertake 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.  As a result, we caution against placing undue reliance on any forward-looking statements.

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:
    • 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, market interest rates and inflation,
    • Changes in customer behavior due to 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,
    • The length and extent of the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic,
    • The impact of the results of the recent U.S. elections on the regulatory landscape, capital markets, and the response to and management of the COVID-19 pandemic, including the effectiveness of already-enacted fiscal stimulus from the federal government, a potential infrastructure bill and changes in tax laws, and
    • 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 view that:
    • The U.S. economy is in an economic recovery, following a very severe but very short economic contraction in the first half of 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic and public health measures to contain it.
    • With passage of the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 and continued vaccine distribution, economic growth has picked up in 2021 and will remain very strong through the rest of this year and into 2022. Real GDP is expected to return to its pre-pandemic level in the second quarter of 2021. Employment in June 2021 was still down by 6.8 million from before the pandemic; PNC expects employment to return to its pre-pandemic level in the spring of 2022.
    • Inflation has accelerated in mid-2021 on a year-ago basis due to comparisons with spring 2020 (when prices were falling), strong demand in specific segments, and supply chain disruptions. Inflation will slow in the second half of 2021.
    • PNC expects the Federal Open Market Committee to keep the fed funds rate in its current range of 0.00 to 0.25 percent until mid-2023.
  • PNC's ability to take certain capital actions, including returning capital to shareholders, is subject to PNC meeting or exceeding a stress capital buffer established by the Federal Reserve Board in connection with the Federal Reserve Board's Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review (CCAR) process.
  • 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.
  • Our acquisition of BBVA USA Bancshares, Inc. presents us with risks and uncertainties related to the integration of the acquired business into PNC including:
    • The business of BBVA USA Bancshares, Inc., including its U.S. banking subsidiary, BBVA USA, going forward may not perform as we currently project or in a manner consistent with historical performance. As a result, the anticipated benefits, including estimated cost savings, of the transaction may be significantly harder or take longer to achieve than expected or may not be achieved in their entirety as a result of unexpected factors or events, including those that are outside of our control.
    • The integration of BBVA USA Bancshares, Inc., including its U.S. banking subsidiary, BBVA USA, with that of PNC and PNC Bank may be more difficult to achieve than anticipated or have unanticipated adverse results relating to BBVA USA Bancshares, Inc., including its U.S. banking subsidiary, BBVA USA, or our existing businesses. Our ability to integrate BBVA USA Bancshares, Inc., including its U.S. banking subsidiary, BBVA USA, successfully may be adversely affected by the fact that this transaction results in us entering several geographic markets where we did not previously have any meaningful presence.
  • In addition to the BBVA USA Bancshares, Inc. transaction, 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 2020 Form 10-K and in our first quarter 2021 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.
