The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc.
Keefe, Bruyette & Woods
Large Cap Bank Conference

Exhibit 99.1


This presentation contains forward-looking statements regarding our outlook or expectations relating to PNC’s future business, operations, financial
condition, financial performance and asset quality.  Forward-looking statements are necessarily subject to numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties,
which change over time.
The forward-looking statements in this presentation are qualified by the factors affecting forward-looking statements identified in the more detailed
Cautionary
Statement
included
in
the
Appendix,
which
is
included
in
the
presentation
handouts
and
in
the
version
of
the
presentation
materials
posted on
our
corporate
website
at
www.pnc.com/investor events.
We
provide
greater
detail
regarding
these
factors
in
our
2006
Form
10-K,
including
in
the
Risk
Factors and Risk Management sections, and in our first and second quarter 2007 Form 10-Qs and other SEC reports (accessible on the SEC’s website at
www.sec.gov and on or through our corporate website).
Future events or circumstances may change our outlook or expectations and may also affect the nature of the assumptions, risks and uncertainties to
which our forward-looking statements are subject.  The forward-looking statements in this presentation speak only as of the date of this presentation.  We
do not assume any duty and do not undertake to update those statements.
In
this
presentation,
we
will
sometimes
refer
to
adjusted
results
to
help
illustrate
(1)
the
impact
of
BlackRock
deconsolidation
near
the
end
of
third
quarter
2006
and
the
application
of
the
equity
method
of
accounting
for
our
equity
investment
in
BlackRock
and
(2)
the
impact
of
certain
specified
items,
including
2006
BlackRock/MLIM
transaction
gain,
2006
cost
of
securities
and
mortgage
portfolio
repositionings,
2006
and
2007
BlackRock/MLIM
transaction
and
Mercantile
Bankshares
acquisition
integration
costs,
and
2006
and
2007
gains/losses
related
to
our
BlackRock
LTIP
shares
obligation.
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, in addition to providing a basis of comparability for the impact of the BlackRock deconsolidation given
the magnitude of the impact of deconsolidation on various components of our income statement.  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.
While
we
have
not
provided
other
adjustments
for
the
periods
discussed,
this
is
not
intended
to
imply
that
there
could
not
have
been
other
similar
types
of
adjustments,
but
any
such
adjustments
would
not
have
been
similar
in
magnitude to those shown.  In certain
discussions, we also provide revenue information 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.  We believe this adjustment may be useful when comparing yields and margins for all
earning assets.
This presentation may also include a discussion of other non-GAAP financial measures, which, to the extent not so qualified therein or in the
Appendix,
is
qualified
by
GAAP
reconciliation
information
available
on
our
corporate
website
at

Relations.”

We make
statements
in
this
presentation,
and
we
may
from
time
to
time
make
other
statements,
regarding
our
outlook
or
expectations
for
earnings,
revenues,
expenses and/or other matters regarding or affecting PNC 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,”
“expect,”
“anticipate,”
“intend,”
“outlook,”
“estimate,”
“forecast,”
“project”
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 they are made.  We
do
not
assume
any
duty
and
do
not
undertake
to
update
our
forward-looking
statements.
Because
forward-looking
statements
are
subject
to
assumptions
and
uncertainties,
actual results or future events could differ, possibly materially, from those that we anticipated in our forward-looking
statements, and future results could differ materially from our historical performance.
Our forward-looking statements are subject to the following principal risks and uncertainties.  We provide greater detail regarding some of these factors in our Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, including in the Risk Factors and Risk Management sections of that report, and in our first quarter 2007 Form 10-Q and
other SEC reports.  Our forward-looking statements may also be subject to other risks and uncertainties, including those that we may discuss elsewhere in this
presentation or
in
our
filings
with
the
SEC,
accessible
on
the
SEC’s
website
at
www.sec.gov
and
on
or
through
our
corporate
website
at
www.pnc.com
under
“About
PNC
Investor
Relations
Financial
Information.”
Our business and operating results are affected by business and economic conditions generally or specifically in the principal markets in which we do
business.
We
are
affected
by
changes
in
our
customers’
and
counterparties’
financial
performance,
as
well
as
changes
in
customer
preferences
and
behavior,
including
as
a
result
of
changing business and economic conditions.
The value of our assets and liabilities, as well as our overall financial performance, is also affected by changes in interest rates or in valuations in the debt and
equity markets.  Actions by the Federal Reserve and other government agencies, including those that impact money supply and market interest rates, can
affect our activities and financial results.
Our operating results are affected by our liability to provide shares of BlackRock common stock to help fund BlackRock long-term incentive plan (“LTIP”)
programs, as our LTIP liability is adjusted quarterly (“marked-to-market”) based on changes in BlackRock’s common stock price and the number of remaining
committed shares, and we recognize gain or loss on such shares at such times as shares are transferred for payouts under the LTIP programs.
Competition can have an impact on customer acquisition, growth and retention, as well as on our credit spreads and product pricing, which can affect market
share, deposits and revenues.
Our
ability
to
implement
our
business
initiatives
and
strategies
could
affect
our
financial
performance
over
the
next
several
years.
Legal and regulatory developments could have an impact on our ability to operate our businesses or our financial condition or results of operations or our
competitive position or reputation.  Reputational 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,
education
lending,
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.
Cautionary Statement Regarding
Forward-Looking Information


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
website and on or through BlackRock’s website at www.blackrock.com.
We
grow
our
business
from
time
to
time
by
acquiring
other
financial
services
companies,
including
the
pending
Sterling
Financial
Corporation
(“Sterling”)
and
Yardville
National
Bancorp
(“Yardville”) acquisitions.  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 Bankshares Corporation as we complete the integration.
Any annualized, proforma, estimated, third party or consensus numbers in this presentation are used for illustrative or comparative purposes only and may not reflect actual results.  Any
consensus
earnings
estimates
are
calculated
based
on
the

made

The
