PNC Reports Second Quarter Net Income of $423 Million and EPS of $1.22

Net income for first six months up 20 percent compared with first half of 2006

PITTSBURGH, July 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. (NYSE: PNC) today reported net income of $423 million, or $1.22 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2007 compared with net income of $381 million, or $1.28 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2006 and net income of $459 million, or $1.46 per diluted share, in the prior quarter.

For the first six months of 2007, the company earned net income of $882 million, or $2.67 per diluted share, compared with net income of $735 million, or $2.47 per diluted share, for the first six months of 2006, an increase of 20 percent and 8 percent, respectively.

"Our businesses delivered solid results in the second quarter, while private equity and trading revenues were weaker," said PNC Chairman and Chief Executive Officer James E. Rohr. "We generated quality revenue growth and effectively managed our expenses while maintaining excellent credit quality. PNC's diversified business mix, combined with strong risk management and capital flexibility, positions us well for what will continue to be a challenging environment."

PNC earned adjusted net income of $434 million, or $1.25 per diluted share, for the quarter. Adjusted net income for the second quarter of 2007 excludes integration costs of $11 million after tax, or $.03 per diluted share. Adjusted net income was $386 million, or $1.30 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2006 and $434 million, or $1.38 per diluted share, for the prior quarter. Second quarter 2007 net income was impacted by a higher provision for credit losses and lower equity management gains and trading revenue. Second quarter 2007 results also were reduced by $13 million after tax, or $.04 per diluted share, related to tax exposure on cross-border lease transactions.

PNC earned adjusted net income of $868 million, or $2.63 per diluted share, for the first six months of 2007 compared with adjusted net income of $743 million, or $2.50 per diluted share, for the first six months of 2006. Adjusted net income for the 2007 period excludes the net effects of our BlackRock long-term incentive plan (LTIP) shares obligation and integration costs, and adjusted net income for the 2006 period excludes integration costs.

Some of the comparisons between 2006 and 2007 on a reported basis are affected by the change in accounting methodology for BlackRock, which did not impact net income, and by certain other items. To help to better understand trends at PNC, we show these comparisons on an adjusted basis. References to adjusted amounts in this news release include, as applicable, adjustments for the following types of items: BlackRock deconsolidation by adjusting as if we had recorded our BlackRock investment on the equity method for all periods in the comparison; BlackRock LTIP shares obligation; and integration costs. Details of all adjustments, including reconciliations to reported results, are included in the Consolidated Financial Highlights section of this news release. This section also includes a reconciliation of taxable-equivalent net interest income to net interest income as reported under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).

    HIGHLIGHTS

    *  All of PNC's primary businesses met or exceeded plan in the first half
       of 2007. PNC created positive operating leverage in the first half of
       2007 compared with the first half of 2006 as adjusted revenue growth of
       15 percent exceeded adjusted noninterest expense growth of 12 percent.
       Growth from fee-based banking sources continues to differentiate PNC.
    *  Equity management (private equity) gains and trading revenue met
       expectations for the first half of 2007, but for the current quarter
       declined by $78 million compared with the second quarter of 2006 and
       $53 million compared with the first quarter of 2007. Despite these
       decreases, second quarter 2007 adjusted noninterest income increased 6
       percent compared with the second quarter of 2006 and 4 percent compared
       with the first quarter of 2007.
    *  Second quarter taxable-equivalent net interest income grew 33 percent
       compared with the second quarter of 2006 and 19 percent compared with
       the first quarter of 2007. Net interest margin improved to 3.03 percent
       in the current quarter compared with 2.90 percent and 2.95 percent in
       the second quarter of 2006 and the linked quarter, respectively.
    *  Asset quality remained very strong. Nonperforming assets to total
       assets were .20 percent at June 30, 2007 compared with .24 percent at
       June 30, 2006. Provision for credit losses was $54 million in the
       second quarter of 2007, reflecting growth in total credit exposure. Net
       charge-offs were $32 million in the quarter.
    *  PNC successfully completed execution of its One PNC initiative,
       achieving its goal of $400 million total annual pretax earnings
       benefit. An ongoing continuous improvement program now focuses on
       delivering positive operating leverage.
    *  Average loans grew 27 percent compared with the second quarter of 2006
       and 18 percent compared with the first quarter of 2007. Average
       deposits increased 25 percent compared with the second quarter of 2006
       and 12 percent compared with the linked quarter.
    *  PNC continued to invest in its businesses. The company announced a
       definitive agreement to acquire Yardville National Bancorp, which is
       expected to result in leading deposit share in several wealthy counties
       in central New Jersey, and closed on the acquisition of ARCS Commercial
       Mortgage on July 2, which broadens our real estate product set. The
       acquisitions are expected to be accretive in 2008.
    *  PNC returned capital to shareholders through a 15 percent increase in
       the common dividend to 63 cents per share and purchasing 4.0 million
       common shares at a cost of $294 million under its repurchase program in
       the second quarter.
    *  The integration of Mercantile Bankshares Corporation, which PNC
       acquired on March 2, is on track with ongoing customer communications
       and employee training, and technology systems conversions are scheduled
       for September 15.

Return on average common shareholders' equity for the second quarter of 2007 was 11.61 percent, or 11.91 percent as adjusted. Return on average common shareholders' equity for the second quarter of 2006 was 17.49 percent, or 17.72 percent as adjusted. For the first quarter of 2007, return on average common shareholders' equity was 15.59 percent, or 14.74 percent as adjusted. Return on average common shareholders' equity for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was 13.39 percent compared with 17.08 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2006. Adjusted returns on average common shareholders' equity for these six-month periods were 13.18 percent and 17.28 percent, respectively.


    BUSINESS SEGMENT RESULTS

Retail Banking

Retail Banking earned $227 million for the quarter, compared with $185 million for the year-ago quarter and $201 million for the first quarter of 2007. The 23 percent increase over the second quarter of 2006 and 13 percent increase over the prior quarter were driven by the Mercantile acquisition, increased fee income, and continued customer and balance sheet growth, partially offset by an increase in the provision for credit losses.

    Retail Banking highlights:

    *  Customer growth was reflected in a net increase of 5,000 checking
       relationships since March 31, 2007, excluding Mercantile. In order to
       continue to acquire and retain customers, PNC continues to focus on
       delivering differentiated customer service and improving the customer
       experience through its branch network and call center. PNC's redesigned
       web site has resulted in improved customer satisfaction and an improved
       consumer online experience that has driven increased traffic and sales.
    *  Average loan balances increased $10.3 billion, or 42 percent, over the
       year-ago quarter and $6.8 billion, or 24 percent, over the first
       quarter of 2007 primarily driven by the Mercantile acquisition and
       continued growth in small business lending. Average small business
       loans grew 10 percent over the prior year quarter and 3 percent over
       the linked quarter, excluding the impact of Mercantile.
    *  Average deposit balances increased 25 percent over the previous year
       quarter and 14 percent over the prior quarter, both largely the result
       of the Mercantile acquisition.
    *  Net interest income for the second quarter of 2007 grew $111 million,
       or 26 percent, compared with the second quarter of 2006 and $83
       million, or 18 percent, compared with the first quarter of 2007
       primarily as a result of the Mercantile acquisition.
    *  Noninterest income to total revenue was 45 percent for the second
       quarter of 2007. Noninterest income for the quarter increased $85
       million, or 24 percent, compared with the prior year second quarter and
       $56 million, or 14 percent, compared with the first quarter of 2007.
       The Mercantile acquisition represented a substantial portion of the
       increases. Noninterest income also grew in the quarters of comparison
       as a result of higher brokerage and asset management fees and increased
       revenue from third party loan servicing activities.
    *  Noninterest expense for the second quarter of 2007 increased $119
       million, or 26 percent, compared with the prior year second quarter and
       $83 million, or 17 percent, compared with the first quarter of 2007.
       The increase in expense for both comparisons was a result of the
       Mercantile acquisition, expenses directly associated with fee income
       related businesses and a number of growth initiatives including new
       branches, credit card, and the private client group.
    *  Asset quality remained strong. The provision for credit losses was $37
       million and net charge-offs were $25 million for the quarter. The
       incremental increase in provision over net charge-offs in the current
       quarter was primarily due to continued growth in the commercial loan
       portfolio.
    *  Assets under management were $77 billion at June 30, 2007, an increase
       of $27 billion, or 54 percent, compared with June 30, 2006 and an
       increase of $1 billion compared with March 31, 2007. The Mercantile
       acquisition added $22 billion in assets under management in the first
       quarter. Strong market conditions and sales efforts contributed to
       portfolio growth in both comparisons.
    *  PNC had 1,084 branches and an ATM network of 3,917 machines at June 30,
       2007. Seven new branches were opened in the quarter.

Corporate & Institutional Banking

Corporate & Institutional Banking earned $122 million in the second quarter compared with $115 million in the second quarter of 2006 and $132 million in the previous quarter. The decrease compared with the first quarter of 2007 was due to higher provision for credit losses. In the year-over-year quarterly comparison, earnings increased due to net interest income growth partially offset by lower noninterest income.

    Corporate & Institutional Banking highlights:

    *  Noninterest income to total revenue was 49 percent for the second
       quarter of 2007. Noninterest income decreased $22 million, or 11
       percent, compared with the prior year quarter as a result of reduced
       trading revenue and lower net gains on commercial mortgage loan sales
       and related hedges somewhat offset by higher corporate service fees
       from treasury management and commercial mortgage servicing. On a linked
       quarter basis, noninterest income was unchanged at $187 million as
       higher corporate service fees from affordable housing distribution
       income, syndication revenue and treasury management fees were offset by
       lower net gains on commercial mortgage loan sales.
    *  Noninterest expense was essentially flat compared with both prior
       quarters as investments in growth initiatives were offset by effective
       cost management.
    *  PNC continued to manage the risk-adjusted return of credit products.
       Net interest income for the second quarter of 2007 grew $25 million, or
       15 percent, compared with the second quarter of 2006 and $11 million,
       or 6 percent, compared with the first quarter of 2007 as a result of
       the Mercantile acquisition and deposit growth. Average loan balances
       increased $2.7 billion from the prior year second quarter and $1.7
       billion compared with the first quarter of 2007 resulting from the
       Mercantile acquisition and growth in corporate loans.
    *  Average deposit balances for the quarter increased $3.3 billion, or 35
       percent, compared with the second quarter of 2006. The increase was
       mainly the result of higher corporate deposits in money market accounts
       and noninterest-bearing deposits from the servicing portfolio at
       Midland Loan Services. On a linked quarter basis, average deposits
       increased $180 million in part due to higher corporate deposits in
       money market and other interest-bearing accounts.
    *  Asset quality remained strong. Provision for credit losses was $17
       million in the second quarter compared with $17 million in the second
       quarter of 2006 and a credit of $16 million in the linked quarter,
       which related to a first quarter reduction in default factors based on
       improvement in company and industry experience used to determine
       required reserves.
    *  The commercial mortgage servicing portfolio was $222 billion at June
       30, 2007, an increase of 47 percent from June 30, 2006. On a linked
       quarter basis, the commercial mortgage servicing portfolio increased by
       8 percent. On July 2, PNC completed its acquisition of ARCS Commercial
       Mortgage, a leading provider of agency financing for multifamily real
       estate.

PFPC

PFPC earned $32 million for the second quarter of 2007 compared with $26 million in the year-earlier period and $31 million in the linked quarter. The earnings increase compared with the second quarter of 2006 and the linked quarter reflects the successful conversion of two new client services during the quarter, growth from existing clients, market appreciation and an improved operating margin. A $20 million, or 10 percent, increase in servicing revenue from the second quarter of 2006 was fueled by strong fee income growth in transfer agency, managed accounts, alternative investments, and offshore operations.

PFPC provided accounting/administration services for $868 billion of net fund assets and provided custody services for $467 billion of fund assets as of June 30, 2007, compared with $743 billion and $389 billion, respectively, on June 30, 2006 and $822 billion and $435 billion, respectively, at March 31, 2007. Total fund assets serviced by PFPC were $2.4 trillion at June 30, 2007, compared with asset servicing levels of $1.9 trillion at June 30, 2006 and $2.2 trillion at March 31, 2007.

Other, Including BlackRock

The "Other, Including BlackRock" category, for the purposes of this release, includes the earnings and gains or losses related to our equity interest in BlackRock, Mercantile acquisition and BlackRock/Merrill Lynch Investment Managers (MLIM) transaction integration costs, asset and liability management activities, related net securities gains or losses, certain trading activities, equity management activities, differences between business segment performance reporting and financial statement reporting under GAAP, corporate overhead, and intercompany eliminations.

PNC recorded earnings of $42 million in Other for the quarter compared with earnings of $55 million in the second quarter of 2006 and $95 million in the first quarter of 2007. Other for the current quarter included lower equity management gains compared with the prior quarter and last year's second quarter. Other for the first quarter of 2007 included a net after-tax gain of $33 million related to our BlackRock LTIP shares obligation compared to a charge of under $1 million in the second quarter of 2007 that did not impact adjusted net income.

CONSOLIDATED REVENUE REVIEW

Taxable-equivalent net interest income totaled $746 million for the quarter, an increase of 33 percent compared with $562 million for the year- earlier period and an increase of 19 percent compared with $629 million for the first quarter of 2007. The net interest margin in the second quarter of 2007 was 3.03 percent compared with 2.90 percent in the year-earlier period and 2.95 percent in the first quarter of 2007. The increase in net interest income and net interest margin over the quarters of comparison was the result of the Mercantile acquisition partially offset by the impact of the aforementioned cross-border lease item that lowered interest income on loans.

Noninterest income totaled $975 million for the second quarter of 2007 compared with $1.230 billion for the same quarter in the prior year, and $991 million for the first quarter of 2007. Noninterest income for the second quarter was $977 million as adjusted compared with $918 million as adjusted for the second quarter of 2006 and $941 million as adjusted for the first quarter of 2007.

The increase in adjusted noninterest income compared with the second quarter of 2006 adjusted results was due to the Mercantile acquisition and growth in asset management revenue, corporate service fees and brokerage revenue partially offset by declines in equity management gains and trading revenue. Compared with the adjusted link quarter, the second quarter of 2007 as adjusted reflected growth in fee-related revenue including asset management, fund servicing, service charges on deposits, brokerage, and consumer and corporate services, as well as the full quarter impact of Mercantile. Equity management gains and trading revenue declined in the link quarter by $53 million.

CONSOLIDATED EXPENSE REVIEW

Noninterest expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 was $1.040 billion compared with $1.145 billion in the prior year quarter and $944 million for the first quarter of 2007. Second quarter noninterest expense was $1.025 billion as adjusted compared with $881 million as adjusted for the second quarter of 2006 and $933 million as adjusted for the linked quarter.

The increase in adjusted noninterest expense in the comparisons was largely a result of the acquisition of Mercantile and increased marketing expenses for PNC's branding initiative. Adjusted noninterest expense compared with the second quarter of 2006 also increased due to investments in growth initiatives that were partially offset by disciplined expense management. Adjusted noninterest expense compared with the first quarter of 2007 also included higher compensation expense related to the growth of customer revenue and a $15 million charge for trust preferred securities called during the second quarter, offset in part by litigation-related insurance recoveries of approximately $21 million.

CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET REVIEW

Total assets were $125.7 billion at June 30, 2007, compared with $94.9 billion at June 30, 2006, and $122.6 billion at March 31, 2007. The increase compared with June 30, 2006 was due to the addition of approximately $21 billion of assets from the Mercantile acquisition, higher equity investments primarily due to the impact of the BlackRock/MLIM transaction, and growth in loans and securities.

Average loans of $63.6 billion for the quarter increased $13.6 billion, or 27 percent, compared with the year-earlier period and increased $9.5 billion, or 18 percent, compared with the first quarter of 2007. The increase in average loans compared with both quarters was primarily a result of the Mercantile acquisition. The increase in average loans was also due to growth in commercial, commercial real estate and consumer loans in comparison with the second quarter of 2006. The increase compared with the linked quarter was due to growth in commercial loans and the addition of high quality residential mortgage loans as part of our asset and liability management activities.

Average securities available for sale for the second quarter of 2007 were $26.4 billion, an increase of $5.0 billion, or 23 percent, compared with the second quarter of 2006, and an increase of $3.0 billion, or 13 percent, compared with the first quarter of 2007. The increase in securities in the comparisons was primarily the result of the Mercantile transaction.

Average deposits of $78.2 billion increased $15.6 billion, or 25 percent, compared with the second quarter of 2006, and increased $8.6 billion, or 12 percent, compared with the linked quarter. Average deposits increased from the prior year quarter as a result of the Mercantile acquisition and growth primarily in money market and noninterest-bearing demand deposits. Average deposits compared with the linked quarter increased mainly as a result of the full quarter impact of the Mercantile acquisition. Average demand and other noninterest-bearing deposits increased $3.9 billion, or 28 percent, compared with the prior year quarter largely as a result of the impact of the Mercantile acquisition and deposits from the servicing portfolio at Midland Loan Services. These deposits increased $2.0 billion, or 13 percent, versus the linked quarter as a result of Mercantile.

Average borrowed funds for the second quarter of 2007 were $21.3 billion, an increase of $6.3 billion compared with the second quarter of 2006, and an increase of $4.5 billion compared with the first quarter of 2007. The increase from both the prior year and linked quarters was due to the Mercantile acquisition and to fund earning asset growth.

PNC's Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio was an estimated 8.1 percent at June 30, 2007, compared with 8.8 percent at June 30, 2006 and 8.6 percent at March 31, 2007. The decline in the Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio compared with March 31, 2007 was primarily due to the call of trust preferred securities and balance sheet growth.

During the first half of 2007 the company repurchased 5.4 million common shares at a total cost of $395 million under its current common stock repurchase program. The board has authorized a repurchase of up to 20 million shares of common stock, of which approximately 9.1 million remained at the end of the second quarter.

ASSET QUALITY REVIEW

Overall asset quality at PNC continued to be strong in the challenging credit environment and the company remained focused on maintaining a moderate risk profile. The provision for credit losses for the second quarter of 2007 was $54 million compared with $44 million in the second quarter of 2006 and $8 million in the first quarter of 2007. The provision in the current quarter was primarily due to net charge-offs and growth in total credit exposure.

Net charge-offs for the second quarter of 2007 were $32 million, or .20 percent of average loans, compared with net charge-offs of $30 million, or .24 percent, for the second quarter of 2006 and net charge-offs of $36 million, or .27 percent, for the linked quarter.

Nonperforming assets at June 30, 2007 were $246 million, an increase of $15 million, or 6 percent, compared with the balance at June 30, 2006 and an increase of $42 million, or 21 percent, compared with March 31, 2007. Nonperforming assets increased over the quarters of comparison largely due to higher commercial real estate nonaccrual loans primarily related to Mercantile.

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

The Consolidated Financial Highlights section of this news release includes adjusted results for the first two quarters and first half of 2007 and for the second quarter and first half of 2006 illustrating the impact of certain items, including the gain recognized in connection with PNC's transfer of BlackRock shares to satisfy a portion of our 2002 BlackRock LTIP shares obligation, the net mark-to-market adjustments on our remaining BlackRock LTIP shares obligation, and integration costs related to the Mercantile acquisition and the BlackRock/MLIM transaction. In addition, adjusted results for the second quarter and first half of 2006 reflect the impact of the deconsolidation of BlackRock by adjusting as if we had applied the equity method of accounting for all periods presented. This section also includes a reconciliation of these adjusted amounts to net income, certain components of net income, diluted earnings per share and selected ratios as reported under GAAP, and to GAAP condensed, consolidated income statements. We have provided these adjusted amounts and reconciliations so that investors, analysts, regulators and others will be better able to evaluate the impact of certain significant items on our GAAP results for these periods. The absence of other adjusted amounts for periods discussed in this news release is not intended to imply that there could not have been other similar types of adjustments for these periods, but any such adjustments would not have been similar in magnitude to the amount of the adjustments shown.

       impacts, in turn, could affect matters such as business generation and
       retention, our ability to attract and retain management, liquidity and
       funding.  These legal and regulatory developments could include:  (a)
       the unfavorable resolution of legal proceedings or regulatory and other
       governmental inquiries;  (b) increased litigation risk from recent
       regulatory and other governmental developments;  (c) the results of the
       regulatory examination process, our failure to satisfy the requirements
       of agreements with governmental agencies, and regulators' future use of
       supervisory and enforcement tools;  (d) legislative and regulatory
       reforms, including changes to laws and regulations involving tax,
       pension, and the protection of confidential customer information;  and
       (e) changes in accounting policies and principles.

    *  Our business and operating results are affected by our ability to
       identify and effectively manage risks inherent in our businesses,
       including, where appropriate, through the effective use of third-party
       insurance and capital management techniques.

    *  Our ability to anticipate and respond to technological changes can have
       an impact on our ability to respond to customer needs and to meet
       competitive demands.

    *  The adequacy of our intellectual property protection, and the extent of
       any costs associated with obtaining rights in intellectual property
       claimed by others, can impact our business and operating results.

    *  Our business and operating results can also be affected by widespread
       natural disasters, terrorist activities or international hostilities,
       either as a result of the impact on the economy and financial and
       capital markets generally or on us or on our customers, suppliers or
       other counterparties specifically.

    *  Also, risks and uncertainties that could affect the results anticipated
       in forward-looking statements or from historical performance relating
       to our equity interest in BlackRock, Inc. are discussed in more detail
       in BlackRock's 2006 Form 10-K, including in the Risk Factors section,
       and in BlackRock's other filings with the SEC, accessible on the SEC's
       Web site and on or through BlackRock's Web site at www.blackrock.com.

We grow our business from time to time by acquiring other financial services companies, including the pending Yardville transaction. Acquisitions in general present us with risks other than those presented by the nature of the business acquired. In particular, acquisitions may be substantially more expensive to complete (including as a result of costs incurred in connection with the integration of the acquired company) and the anticipated benefits (including anticipated cost savings and strategic gains) may be significantly harder or take longer to achieve than expected. In some cases, acquisitions involve our entry into new businesses or new geographic or other markets, and these situations also present risks resulting from our inexperience in these new areas. As a regulated financial institution, our pursuit of attractive acquisition opportunities could be negatively impacted due to regulatory delays or other regulatory issues. Regulatory and/or legal issues related to the pre-acquisition operations of an acquired business may cause reputational harm to PNC following the acquisition and integration of the acquired business into ours and may result in additional future costs arising as a result of those issues. Post-closing acquisition risk continues to apply to Mercantile as we complete the integration.

Additional Information About The PNC/Yardville Transaction

PNC and Yardville have filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") a Registration Statement on Form S-4 that includes a preliminary version of a proxy statement of Yardville that also constitutes a preliminary prospectus of PNC. The S-4 has not yet become effective. The parties will file other relevant documents concerning the proposed transaction with the SEC. Following the S-4 being declared effective by the SEC, Yardville intends to mail the final proxy statement to its shareholders. Such final documents, however, are not currently available.

    Certain prior period amounts included in these Consolidated Financial
    Highlights have been reclassified to conform with the current period
    presentation.

    (a) Amounts adjusted to exclude the impact of the following items:  (1)
        the net mark-to-market adjustment on our remaining BlackRock LTIP
        shares obligation, and (2) Mercantile acquisition and BlackRock/MLIM
        transaction integration costs.  See pages 15, 16 and 17 for additional
        information.
    (b) Amounts adjusted to exclude the impact of the following items: (1) the
        gain recognized in connection with the transfer of BlackRock shares to
        satisfy a portion of our 2002 BlackRock LTIP shares obligation, (2)
        the net mark-to-market adjustment on our remaining BlackRock LTIP
        shares obligation, and (3) Mercantile acquisition and BlackRock/MLIM
        transaction integration costs.  See pages 15, 16, 17 and 18 for
        additional information.
    (c) Amounts adjusted as if we had recorded our investment in BlackRock on
        the equity method and to exclude the impact of PNC's portion of
        BlackRock/MLIM transaction integration costs.  See pages 15, 16, 17
        and 18 for additional information.
    (d) Reconciliations of net interest income on a GAAP basis to taxable-
        equivalent net interest income are provided on page 18.
    (e) Reconciliations of selected ratios from the "As Reported" (GAAP) basis
        to the "As Adjusted" basis are provided on page 17.
    (f) Calculated as noninterest income divided by the sum of net interest
        income (GAAP basis) and noninterest income.  Noninterest income for
        the second quarter and first six months of 2006 included the impact of
        BlackRock on a consolidated basis, primarily consisting of asset
        management fees.  First and second quarter 2007 and the first six
        months of 2007 noninterest income reflected income from our equity
        investment in BlackRock included in the "Asset management" line item.
    (g) Calculated as noninterest expense divided by the sum of net interest
        income (GAAP basis) and noninterest income.

    (a) Our business segment information is presented based on our management
        accounting practices and management structure.  We refine our
        methodologies from time to time as our management accounting practices
        are enhanced and our businesses and management structure change.
        Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with
        the current period presentation.
    (b) Amounts for 2007 include Mercantile, beginning with the acquisition
        closing on March 2, 2007.
    (c) We consider BlackRock to be a separate reportable business segment but
        have combined its results with Other for this presentation.  Our
        Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the second quarter of 2007 will
        provide additional business segment disclosures for BlackRock.

    (a) Includes the impact of the gain recognized in connection with PNC's
        transfer of BlackRock shares to satisfy a portion of our 2002 LTIP
        shares obligation and the net mark-to-market adjustment on our
        remaining BlackRock LTIP shares obligation, as applicable.
    (b) Amounts for 2007 include both Mercantile acquisition and
        BlackRock/MLIM transaction integration costs. BlackRock/MLIM
        transaction integration costs recognized by PNC in 2007 were included
        in noninterest income as a negative component of the "Asset
        management" line item, which includes the impact of our equity
        earnings from our investment in BlackRock. The second quarter and
        first six months of 2006 BlackRock/MLIM transaction integration costs
        were included in noninterest expense.

The tables on pages 15-17 and the first table on page 18 represent reconciliations of certain "As Reported" (GAAP) amounts to "As Adjusted" amounts for certain specified items.

We have provided these adjusted amounts and reconciliations so that investors, analysts, regulators and others will be better able to evaluate the impact of these items on our results for the periods presented. We believe that information as adjusted for the impact of the specified items may be useful due to the extent to which these items are not indicative of our ongoing operations as the result of our management activities on those operations.

Adjusted information supplements our results as reported in accordance with GAAP and should not be viewed in isolation from, or as a substitute for, our GAAP results. Our 2006 Form 10-K includes additional information regarding our accounting for the BlackRock/MLIM transaction and the BlackRock LTIP shares obligation, and our first quarter 2007 Form 10-Q provides additional information regarding Mercantile acquisition and BlackRock/MLIM transaction integration costs.

    (a) Amounts adjusted to exclude the impact of the following pretax
        items:(1) the net mark-to-market adjustment of $1 million on
        our remaining BlackRock LTIP shares obligation and (2) Mercantile
        acquisition and BlackRock/MLIM transaction integration costs totaling
        $16 million.

        We believe that information as adjusted for the impact of these items
        may be useful due to the extent to which these items are not
        indicative of our ongoing operations as the result of our management
        activities.  Acquisition integration costs can vary significantly from
        period to period depending on whether or not we have any such
        transaction pending or in process and depending on the size and nature
        of the transaction.  Our BlackRock LTIP shares obligation results from
        an agreement entered into in 2002 and predominantly reflects the
        market price of BlackRock stock at specified times.

    (b) Amounts adjusted to exclude the impact of the following pretax items:
        (1) the gain of $82 million recognized in connection with PNC's
        transfer of BlackRock shares to satisfy a portion of our 2002 LTIP
        shares obligation, (2) the net mark-to-market adjustment totaling $30
        million on our remaining BlackRock LTIP shares obligation, and (3)
        Mercantile acquisition and BlackRock/MLIM transaction integration
        costs totaling $13 million.

    (c) Amounts adjusted for the sum of the items described in notes (a) and
        (b) above.

    (d) Amounts adjusted as if we had recorded our investment in BlackRock on
        the equity method and to exclude PNC's portion of BlackRock/MLIM
        transaction integration costs of $13 million and $19 million before

        We believe that providing amounts adjusted as if we had recorded our
        investment in BlackRock on the equity method for all periods presented
        provides a basis of comparability for the impact of the BlackRock
        deconsolidation given the magnitude of the impact on various
        components of our consolidated income statement.

TAXABLE-EQUIVALENT NET INTEREST INCOME

The interest income earned on certain 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 yields and margins for all earning assets, we also provide revenue 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 in the Consolidated Income Statement.

    The following is a reconciliation of net interest income as reported in
the Consolidated Income Statement to net interest income on a taxable-
equivalent basis:
