The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc.
Merrill Lynch
Banking & Financial Services Investor Conference
New York
November 13, 2007
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
version
of
the
presentation
materials
posted on our corporate website at www.pnc.com/investorevents.  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 current quarter 2007 Form 10-Q 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 the impact of the deconsolidation of BlackRock
near the end of third quarter 2006 and the impact of certain types of items.  Adjusted results reflect, as applicable, the following
types
of
adjustments:
(1)
2006
periods
reflect
the
impact
of
the
deconsolidation
of
BlackRock
by
adjusting
as
if
we
had
recorded
our BlackRock investment on the equity method prior to its deconsolidation; (2) adjusting the 2006 periods to exclude the impact
of the
third
quarter
2006
gain
on
the
BlackRock/MLIM
transaction
and
losses
on
the
repositioning
of
PNC’s
securities
and
mortgage
loan portfolios; (3) adjusting fourth quarter 2006 and the 2007 periods to exclude the net mark-to-market adjustments on PNC’s
remaining BlackRock LTIP shares obligation and, as applicable, the gain PNC recognized in first quarter 2007 in connection with the
company’s transfer of BlackRock shares to satisfy a portion of its BlackRock LTIP shares obligation;  (4) adjusting all 2007 and
2006 periods to exclude, as applicable, integration costs related to acquisitions and to the BlackRock/MLIM transaction; and (5)
adjusting, as appropriate, for the tax impact of these adjustments.  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
and
balance
sheet.
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 the amount of the adjustments shown.  In
certain discussions, we may 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 www.pnc.com under
“About PNC –
Investor Relations.”

Cautionary Statement Regarding
Forward-Looking Information
Appendix
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,”
“will”,
“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 current 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 businesses and financial results are affected by business and economic conditions, both generally and specifically in the principal markets in which we
operate.  In particular, our businesses and financial results may be impacted by —
•Changes
in
interest
rates
and
valuations
in
the
debt,
equity
and
other
financial
markets.
•Disruptions in the liquidity and other functioning of financial markets, including such disruptions in the markets for real estate and other assets
commonly securing financial products.
•Actions by the Federal Reserve and other government agencies, including those that impact money supply and market interest rates.
•Changes
in
our
customers’,
suppliers’
and
other
counterparties’
performance
in
general
and
their
creditworthiness
in
particular.
•Changes in customer preferences and behavior, whether as a result of changing business and economic conditions or other factors.
•A continuation of recent turbulence in significant portions of the global financial markets could impact our performance, both directly by affecting our revenues
and the value of our assets and liabilities and indirectly by affecting the economy generally.
•Our operating results are affected by our liability to provide shares of BlackRock common stock to help fund certain 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, derivatives, 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 capital and other financial 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
our
pending
Sterling
Financial
Corporation
(“Sterling”)
acquisition.  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.
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 earnings projections made by analysts who cover that company.  The
analysts’
opinions,
estimates
or
forecasts
(and
therefore
the
consensus
earnings
estimates)
are
theirs
alone,
are
not
those
of
PNC
or
its
management,
and
may
not reflect PNC’s, Sterling’s or other company’s actual or anticipated results.

(a) Amounts adjusted to exclude the impact of the following pretax items: (1) the gain of $83 million recognized in connection with PNC's transfer of BlackRock
shares
to
satisfy
a
portion
of
our
BlackRock
LTIP
shares
obligation,
(2)
the
net
mark-to-market
adjustment
totaling
$82
million
on
our
remaining
BlackRock
LTIP
shares obligation, and (3) acquisition and BlackRock/MLIM transaction integration costs totaling $72 million. The net tax impact of these items is reflected in the
adjustment to income taxes.
(b) Amounts adjusted to exclude the impact of the following pretax items: (1) the gain of $2.078 billion on the BlackRock/MLIM transaction, (2) the loss of $196
million on
the
securities
portfolio
rebalancing,
(3)
BlackRock/MLIM
transaction
integration
costs
of
$91
million
for
the
first
nine
months
of
2006,
and
(4)
the
mortgage loan
portfolio
repositioning
loss
of
$48
million.
The
net
tax
impact
of
these
items
is
reflected
in
the
adjustment
to
income
taxes.
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.
Additionally,
the
amounts
are
also
adjusted
as
if
we
had
recorded
our
investment
in
BlackRock
on
the
equity
method.
We
believe that
providing
amounts
adjusted
as
if
we
had
recorded
our
investment
in
BlackRock
on
the
equity
method
for
all
periods
presented
helps
provide
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.
