•For the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2026:
•Total revenue of $6.9 billion increased $710 million, or 12%.
2 The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. – Form 10-Q

•Noninterest income of $2.8 billion increased $564 million, or 26%, reflecting higher capital markets and advisory revenue as well as $6 million of integration costs related to the FirstBank acquisition and second quarter significant items including:
•A $448 million gain resulting from PNC’s participation in the Visa exchange program;
•A securities loss of $139 million related to the repositioning of the available-for-sale investment securities portfolio; and

For additional detail, see the Consolidated Income Statement Review section of this Financial Review.
Balance Sheet Highlights
Our balance sheet was well positioned at June 30, 2026. In comparison to December 31, 2025:
•Total assets of $616.0 billion increased $42.5 billion, or 7%, reflecting higher loans and securities balances, including the impact of the FirstBank acquisition, partially offset by lower balances held with the FRB.
•Total loans of $368.0 billion increased $36.5 billion, or 11%.
•Total commercial loans increased $31.4 billion, or 14%, to $263.9 billion, reflecting new production and higher utilization of loan commitments as well as the addition of FirstBank loans.
•Total consumer loans increased $5.1 billion, or 5%, to $104.1 billion, primarily driven by the benefit of acquired FirstBank residential mortgage loans, partially offset by declines in the automobile portfolio as paydowns outpaced originations.
•Investment securities increased $11.3 billion, or 8%, to $149.5 billion, including net purchase activity of agency residential mortgage-backed securities and the acquisition of FirstBank investment securities in both the available-for-sale and held-to-maturity portfolios.
•Total deposits increased $8.9 billion, or 2%, primarily driven by higher noninterest-bearing deposits, and included the addition of FirstBank deposits.
•Borrowed funds increased $28.6 billion, or 50%, to $85.7 billion, primarily due to higher FHLB advances.

Credit Quality Highlights
In the second quarter of 2026, PNC maintained strong credit quality performance.
•At June 30, 2026 compared to December 31, 2025:
•Nonperforming assets of $2.2 billion decreased $211 million, or 9%, driven by lower commercial nonperforming loans.
•Overall loan delinquencies of $1.4 billion were stable.
•The ACL related to loans, which consists of the ALLL and the allowance for unfunded lending related commitments, totaled $5.5 billion at June 30, 2026, compared to $5.2 billion at December 31, 2025. The increase was primarily driven by portfolio activity, including the addition of FirstBank loans. ACL to total loans was 1.48% at June 30, 2026, compared to 1.58% at December 31, 2025.
•Net loan charge-offs of $226 million, or 0.25% of average loans, decreased $27 million compared to the first quarter of 2026, primarily due to FirstBank acquired net loan charge-offs of $45 million recognized in the first quarter.
For additional detail see the Credit Risk Management portion of the Risk Management section of this Financial Review.
Capital and Liquidity Highlights
We maintained our strong capital and liquidity positions.
•Common shareholders’ equity of $58.1 billion at June 30, 2026, increased $3.3 billion, or 6%, compared to December 31, 2025, primarily due to the benefit of net income and common stock issuances related to the FirstBank acquisition, partially offset by common dividends paid, common share repurchases and a decline in AOCI.
•In the second quarter of 2026, PNC returned $1.3 billion of capital to shareholders, reflecting $0.7 billion of dividends on common shares and $0.6 billion of common share repurchases.
•On July 6, 2026, the PNC Board of Directors raised the quarterly cash dividend on common stock to $2.00 per share, an increase of 30 cents, or 18%. The dividend is payable on August 5, 2026 to shareholders of record at the close of business July 20, 2026.
•Our CET1 ratio was 9.9% at June 30, 2026 and 10.6% at December 31, 2025.

Business Outlook
Statements regarding our business outlook are forward-looking within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. 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:
•PNC’s baseline forecast remains for continued expansion in 2026, with economic growth expected to remain resilient despite oil prices that are up from early 2026, supported by strong AI-related capex, tax refunds, and an improving labor market. We expect real GDP growth of 2.1% in 2026, with continued modest job gains and the unemployment rate holding roughly steady, ending the year at around 4.3%. Inflation risks have eased somewhat but we still expect inflation to remain elevated, with CPI inflation staying above 3% through year-end. Risks to our growth and inflation outlook include a sudden reversal in AI-related sentiment, which would have knock-on effects on both capex and wealth-driven consumer spending, as well as any further sharp rise in oil prices.
•Our baseline forecast is for the Federal Reserve to keep the federal funds rate unchanged throughout 2026 and into 2027, in a range between 3.50% and 3.75%. However, risks remain skewed toward tighter monetary policy given persistent above-target inflation and inflationary pressures from higher energy prices and continued strength in capital spending.
Consistent with the forward guidance we provided on July 15, 2026, for the third quarter of 2026, compared to the second quarter of 2026, we expect:
•Average loans to be up 1% to 2%,
•Net interest income to be up 3% to 3.5%,
•Fee income to be down 5% to 5.5%,
•Other noninterest income to be $150 million to $200 million,
•Noninterest expense to be down 7% to 8 %,
◦Noninterest expense, excluding integration costs and significant items, to be down 2% to 3%, and
•Net loan charge-offs to be approximately $225 million.
4 The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. – Form 10-Q
Consistent with the forward guidance we provided on July 15, 2026, for the full year of 2026, compared to the full year of 2025, we expect:
•Average loans to be up approximately 12.5%,
•Net interest income to be up 15% to 15.5%,
•Noninterest income to be up approximately 11%
◦Noninterest income, excluding integration costs and significant items, to be up approximately 9%,
•Total revenue to be up approximately 14%,
◦Total revenue, excluding integration costs and significant items, to be up approximately 13%,
•Noninterest expense to be up approximately 11.5%,
◦Noninterest expense, excluding integration costs and significant items, to be up approximately 8.5%, and
•Effective tax rate to be approximately 19.5%.
The guidance for noninterest expense, excluding integration costs and significant items, excludes our expectation for non-recurring merger and integration expenses of approximately $325 million, $218 million of which was recognized in the first half of 2026 and approximately $50 million of which we expect to incur in the third quarter of 2026. It also excludes the pre-tax impacts of the $140 million expense in the second quarter of 2026 related to a contribution to the PNC Foundation.
The 2026 guidance for noninterest income and total revenue excludes integration costs, $7 million of which was recognized in the first half of 2026, as well as $224 million of second quarter significant items ($448 million gain on Visa exchange, $(85) million Visa Class B-3 derivative adjustment, and $139 million of securities losses). See the Reconciliation of Noninterest income guidance, excluding integration costs and significant items (non-GAAP) and the Reconciliation of Revenue guidance, excluding integration costs and significant items (non-GAAP) sections of this Report. Other noninterest income, noninterest income and revenue guidance does not forecast net securities gains or losses and other Visa activity.
We are unable to provide a meaningful or accurate reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP measures, without unreasonable effort, to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, except for full year Noninterest income and Revenue guidance, excluding integration costs and significant items, and full year Noninterest expense guidance, excluding integration costs and significant items. This is due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting the timing and amounts necessary for the reconciliation, when such amounts are subject to events that cannot be reasonably predicted, as noted in our Cautionary Statement. Accordingly, we cannot address the probable significance of unavailable information.
See the Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information section in this Financial Review and Item 1A Risk Factors included in our 2025 Form 10-K for other factors that could cause future events to differ, perhaps materially, from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements.
CONSOLIDATED INCOME STATEMENT REVIEW
Net income of $2.1 billion, or $4.81 per diluted common share, for the second quarter of 2026 increased $283 million, or 16%, compared to $1.8 billion, or $4.13 per diluted common share, for the first quarter of 2026, primarily due to higher noninterest income and net interest income, partially offset by higher noninterest expense. Net income of $3.8 billion, or $8.94 per diluted common share, for the first six months of 2026 increased $685 million, or 22%, compared to $3.1 billion, or $7.37 per diluted common share, for the same period in 2025, reflecting higher net interest income and noninterest income, partially offset by increased noninterest expense.

Net interest income (GAAP) $ 8,068 $ 7,031
(a)Interest income calculated as taxable-equivalent interest income. To provide more meaningful comparisons of interest income and yields for all interest-earning assets, as well as net interest margins, we use interest income on a taxable-equivalent basis in calculating average yields and net interest margins 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 on the Consolidated Income Statement. For more information, see Table 35 Reconciliation of Taxable-Equivalent Net Interest Income (non-GAAP).
(b)Interest income from Interest-earning deposits with banks primarily includes interest earned on our balances held with the FRB and is reported as Other interest income on our Consolidated Income Statement.
Changes in net interest income and net interest margin result from the interaction of the volume and composition of interest-earning assets and related yields, interest-bearing liabilities and related rates paid and noninterest-bearing sources of funding. See Table 34 Average Consolidated Balance Sheet and Net Interest Analysis for additional information.
Net interest income increased $146 million, or 4%, compared to the first quarter of 2026, and included the benefit of commercial loan growth and higher noninterest-bearing deposit balances. Net interest income increased $1.0 billion, or 15%, for the first six months of 2026 compared to the same period in 2025 and reflected the benefit of FirstBank, loan growth and lower funding costs.

margin increased 1 basis point compared to the first quarter of 2026. Compared to the first six months of 2025, net interest margin increased 17 basis points and included the continued benefit of fixed rate asset repricing.
Average investment securities increased $2.6 billion, or 2%, compared to the first quarter of 2026, and $3.8 billion, or 3%, compared to the first six months of 2025, reflecting higher residential mortgage-backed securities. The increase compared to the first six months of 2025 was partially offset by a decline in U.S. Treasury securities. Average investment securities represented 27% of average interest-earning assets for both the second and first quarters of 2026, and 27% for the first six months of 2026 compared to 28% for the same period of 2025.
Average loans increased $12.3 billion, or 4%, compared to the first quarter of 2026, and $37.4 billion, or 12%, compared to the first six months of 2025. In both comparisons, the increase was primarily due to growth in commercial loans, driven by strong new production. Compared to the first six months of 2025, the increase also reflected the addition of FirstBank loans. Average loans represented 65% of average interest-earning assets for both the second and first quarters of 2026 and 65% for the first six months of 2026 compared to 63% for the same period of 2025.
Average interest-bearing deposits decreased $5.7 billion, or 2%, compared to the first quarter of 2026, driven by lower commercial deposits and a decline in brokered time deposits. Average interest-bearing deposits increased $27.3 billion, or 8%, compared to the first six months of 2025, reflecting growth in consumer and commercial balances, including the addition of FirstBank deposits, partially offset by lower brokered time deposits. In total, average interest-bearing deposits represented 82% of average interest-bearing liabilities for the second quarter of 2026 compared to 85% for the first quarter of 2026, and 83% for the first six months of 2026 compared to 84% for the first six months of 2025.
Average borrowed funds increased $16.1 billion, or 26%, and $6.0 billion, or 9%, compared to the first quarter of 2026 and the first six months of 2025, respectively. In both comparisons, the increase was primarily due to higher FHLB advances. Compared to the first six months of 2025, the increase also included higher senior debt outstanding.

Noninterest income as a percentage of total revenue was 40% for the second quarter of 2026 compared to 36% for the first quarter of 2026 and 38% for the first six months of 2026 compared to 37% for the same period in 2025.
Asset management and brokerage fees increased compared to the first quarter of 2026 and the first six months of 2025. In both comparisons, the increase was a result of higher average equity markets and increased client activity. PNC’s discretionary client assets under management of $247 billion at June 30, 2026 increased from $230 billion at March 31, 2026, and $217 billion at June 30, 2025. In both comparisons, the increase included the impact from higher spot equity markets and positive net flows.
Capital markets and advisory fees increased compared to the first quarter of 2026 and the first six months of 2025, driven by growth across capital markets businesses, including strong merger and acquisition advisory activity.
Card and cash management revenue increased compared to the first quarter of 2026, as a result of seasonally higher consumer

transaction volumes and growth in treasury management product revenue. The increase compared to the first six months of 2025 included increased consumer transaction volumes as well as higher treasury management product revenue.
Lending and deposit services increased compared to the first quarter of 2026 primarily due to increased customer activity. Compared to the first six months of 2025, the increase reflected the addition of FirstBank customer activity.
Residential and commercial mortgage increased compared to the first quarter of 2026 primarily driven by negative residential mortgage valuations, net of economic hedge, recognized in the first quarter of 2026. Residential and commercial mortgage revenue was stable compared to the first six months of 2025.
Other noninterest income increased in both the quarterly and year-to-date comparisons. The second quarter of 2026 included the impact of a $448 million gain resulting from PNC’s participation in the Visa exchange program, partially offset by a securities loss of $139 million related to the repositioning of the available-for-sale investment securities portfolio and $6 million of integration costs related to the FirstBank acquisition. The second quarter of 2026 also included Visa derivative adjustments, primarily related to the extension of anticipated litigation resolution timing of negative $85 million, compared to negative $32 million of Visa derivative adjustments in the first quarter of 2026. The first six months of 2026 included negative $117 million of Visa derivative adjustments, compared to negative $38 million for the same period in 2025.

Our balance sheet was well positioned at June 30, 2026. In comparison to December 31, 2025:
•Total assets increased reflecting higher loans and securities balances, including the impact of the FirstBank acquisition, partially offset by lower balances held with the FRB.
•Total liabilities increased primarily due to higher borrowed funds as well as higher deposits, including the impact of the acquisition of FirstBank.
•Total equity increased primarily due to the benefit of net income and stock issuances related to the FirstBank acquisition, partially offset by dividends paid, common share repurchases and lower AOCI.

Loans
Effective January 1, 2026, PNC updated its defined loan classes (classes of financing receivables) as follows: (i) equipment lease financing loans were reclassified to the commercial and industrial loan class based on similarities in the manner in which credit risk is monitored and assessed within these portfolios, as well as materiality considerations, and (ii) education loans were reclassified to the other consumer loan class based on materiality considerations. All impacted disclosures have been updated accordingly, and prior periods have been adjusted to conform with the current presentation.

Investment Securities
Investment securities of $149.5 billion at June 30, 2026 increased $11.3 billion, or 8%, compared to December 31, 2025, including the acquisition of FirstBank investment securities and net purchase activity of agency residential mortgage-backed securities in both the available-for-sale and held-to-maturity portfolios.
In the second quarter of 2026, we repositioned the investment securities portfolio and sold available-for-sale securities with a market value of approximately $4.1 billion and a weighted average yield of approximately 3.2%, resulting in a loss of $139 million. We redeployed the proceeds from the sale, purchasing approximately $4.3 billion of investment securities with a weighted average yield of approximately 4.4%.
The level and composition of the investment securities portfolio fluctuates over time based on many factors, including market conditions, loan and deposit growth and balance sheet management activities. We manage our investment securities portfolio to optimize returns, while providing a reliable source of liquidity for our banking and other activities, considering the LCR, NSFR and other internal and external guidelines and constraints.

(b)Amortized cost is presented net of the allowance for investment securities, which totaled $65 million at June 30, 2026 and primarily related to non-agency commercial mortgage-backed securities. The comparable amount at December 31, 2025 was $66 million.

(e)Includes state and municipal securities and corporate bonds.
(f)Includes available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities, which are recorded on our balance sheet at fair value and amortized cost, respectively.
Table 9 presents our investment securities portfolio by amortized cost and fair value. The difference between fair value and amortized cost at June 30, 2026 primarily reflected the impact of interest rate changes on the valuation of fixed-rate securities. We continually monitor the credit risk in our portfolio and maintain the allowance for investment securities at an appropriate level to absorb expected credit losses on our investment securities portfolio for the remaining contractual term of the securities adjusted for expected prepayments. See Note 3 Investment Securities for additional details regarding the allowance for investment securities.
The duration of investment securities was 3.6 years and 3.5 years at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. We estimate that at June 30, 2026 the effective duration of investment securities was 3.6 years for an immediate 50 basis points parallel increase in interest rates and 3.5 years for an immediate 50 basis points parallel decrease in interest rates. Comparable amounts at December 31, 2025 for the effective duration of investment securities were 3.5 years and 3.4 years, respectively.
Based on expected prepayment speeds, the weighted-average expected maturity of the investment securities portfolio was 5.3 years and 5.2 years at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

Deposits are considered an attractive source of funding due to their stability and relatively low cost to fund. Compared to December 31, 2025, our funding source composition included higher borrowed funds outstanding and higher deposit balances. Funding costs decreased compared to the fourth quarter of 2025 as growth in funding sources was more than offset by the impact of lower funding rates.
Total deposits increased compared to December 31, 2025, primarily driven by higher noninterest-bearing deposits, and included the addition of FirstBank deposits. Interest-bearing deposits were stable and reflected higher consumer balances, offset by a seasonal decline in commercial balances and lower brokered time deposits. Our total brokered deposit balance was $2.1 billion at June 30, 2026 compared to $5.1 billion at December 31, 2025, and was significantly below both our internal and regulatory guidelines and limits.
Borrowed funds increased primarily due to higher FHLB advances.
The level and composition of borrowed funds fluctuates over time based on many factors, including market conditions, capital considerations, and funding needs, which are primarily driven by changes in loan, deposit and investment securities balances. While our largest source of liquidity on a consolidated basis is the customer deposit base generated by our banking businesses, we also manage our borrowed funds to provide a reliable source of liquidity for our banking and other activities, considering our LCR and NSFR requirements and other internal and external guidelines and constraints. See the Liquidity and Capital Management portion of the Risk Management section and the Recent Regulatory Developments section in this Financial Review and the first quarter 2026 Form 10-Q, as well as the Supervision and Regulation section and Note 19 Regulatory Matters of our 2025 Form 10-K for additional information regarding our liquidity and capital activities.

Shareholders’ Equity
Total shareholders’ equity of $64.0 billion at June 30, 2026 increased $3.4 billion, or 6%, compared to December 31, 2025, primarily due to the benefit of net income of $3.8 billion and stock issuances related to the FirstBank acquisition of $3.0 billion, partially offset by dividends paid of $1.5 billion, common share repurchases of $1.3 billion and a decline in AOCI of $0.7 billion.

BUSINESS SEGMENTS REVIEW
We have three reportable business segments: Retail Banking, Corporate & Institutional Banking and the Asset Management Group. Our reportable business segments are defined by the nature of products and services, types of customers, methods used to distribute products or provide services and similar financial performance.
Total business segment financial results differ from our consolidated reporting due to the remaining corporate operations, or other activities, that do not meet the criteria for disclosure as a separate reportable business segment. These other activities include residual activities such as asset and liability management activities, including net securities gains or losses, ACL for investment securities, certain trading activities, certain runoff consumer loan portfolios, private equity investments, intercompany eliminations, corporate overhead net of allocations, tax adjustments that are not allocated to business segments, exited businesses and the residual impact from FTP operations. See Table 87 in Note 15 Segment Reporting for additional information.
Certain amounts included in this Business Segments Review differ from those amounts shown in Note 15, primarily due to the presentation in this Financial Review of business net interest income on a taxable-equivalent basis.
See Note 15 Segment Reporting for additional information on our business segments, including a description of each business.

Retail Banking earnings for the first six months of 2026 increased $562 million compared to the same period in 2025 driven by higher revenue, partially offset by higher noninterest expense.
Net interest income increased in the comparison due to the benefit of FirstBank.
Noninterest income increased in the comparison, reflecting a gain resulting from PNC’s participation in the Visa exchange program, the addition of FirstBank customers and growth in client activity.
Provision for credit losses reflected portfolio activity and updates to macroeconomic factors.
Noninterest expense increased in the comparison primarily due to FirstBank operating expenses and technology investments.
Retail Banking average total loans increased in the first six months of 2026 compared to the same period in 2025. Average consumer loans increased reflecting the addition of residential real estate and home equity loans acquired from FirstBank, as well as growth in the auto and credit card loan portfolios. The increase in average commercial loans was attributable to acquired FirstBank loans.
Our focus on growing primary customer relationships is at the core of our deposit strategy in Retail, which is based on attracting and retaining stable, low-cost deposits as a key funding source for PNC. We have taken a disciplined approach to pricing, focused on retaining relationship-based balances and executing on targeted deposit growth and retention strategies aimed at more rate-sensitive customers. Our goal with regard to deposits is to optimize balances, economics and long-term customer growth. In the first six months of 2026, average total deposits increased compared to the same period in 2025, due to acquired FirstBank deposits and growth in client relationships.
Retail Banking continues to enhance the customer experience with refinements to product and service offerings that drive value for consumers and small businesses. As part of our strategic focus on growing customers and meeting their financial needs, we operate and continue to optimize a coast-to-coast network of retail branches and ATMs, which are complemented by PNC’s suite of digital capabilities. In 2025, PNC announced that it would increase its total branch investment to approximately $2.0 billion by 2030, opening more than 300 new branches and reaffirmed plans to complete the renovation of the entire branch network by 2029. The additional branch investments will be focused in Nashville, Chicago, Sarasota, and Winston-Salem. This was an increase from the previously announced 2024 investment of $1.5 billion to open more than 200 new branches in the strategic growth markets of Atlanta, Austin,

Corporate & Institutional Banking earnings in the first six months of 2026 increased $417 million compared to the same period in 2025 driven by higher revenue and a lower provision for credit losses, partially offset by higher noninterest expense.
Net interest income increased in the comparison primarily due to higher average loan and deposit balances as well as wider interest rate spreads on the value of deposits, partially offset by narrower interest rate spreads on the value of loans.
Noninterest income increased in the comparison primarily due to broad-based growth across the capital markets and advisory businesses and higher treasury management product revenue.
Provision for credit losses for the first six months of 2026 reflected portfolio activity, including loan growth, and updates to macroeconomic factors.
Noninterest expense increased in the comparison reflecting higher variable compensation associated with increased business activity.
Average loans increased compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025:
•Corporate Banking provides lending, treasury management and capital markets products and services to
mid-sized and large corporations, and government and not-for-profit entities. Average loans for this business increased, reflecting new production and higher average utilization of loan commitments.
•Real Estate provides banking, financing, servicing and technology solutions for commercial real estate clients. Average loans for this business declined primarily due to lower average utilization of loan commitments.
•Business Credit provides asset-based lending and equipment financing solutions. The loan and lease portfolio is mainly secured by business assets. Average loans for this business increased reflecting new production and a higher average utilization of loan commitments.
The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. – Form 10-Q 17
•Equipment Finance provides equipment financing solutions for clients. Average loans for this business increased driven by new production.
•Commercial Banking provides lending, treasury management and capital markets products and services to smaller corporations and businesses. Average loans for this business declined primarily driven by lower average utilization of loan commitments.
The deposit strategy of Corporate & Institutional Banking is to remain disciplined on pricing and focused on growing and retaining relationship-based balances over time, executing on customer and segment-specific deposit growth strategies and continuing to provide funding and liquidity to PNC. Average total deposits increased compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025, largely due to growth in interest-bearing deposits. We continue to actively monitor the interest rate environment and make adjustments to our deposit strategy in response to evolving market conditions, bank funding needs and client relationship dynamics.
Product Revenue
In addition to credit and deposit products for commercial customers, Corporate & Institutional Banking offers treasury management capabilities, capital markets and advisory products and services, and commercial mortgage banking activities, for customers of all business segments. On a consolidated basis, the revenue from these other services is included in net interest income and noninterest income, as appropriate. From a business perspective, the majority of the revenue and expense related to these services is reflected in the Corporate & Institutional Banking segment results, with the remainder reflected in the results of other businesses where the customer relationships exist. The Other Information section in Table 13 includes the consolidated revenue to PNC for treasury management and commercial mortgage banking services. A discussion of the consolidated revenue from these services follows.
The Treasury Management business provides corporations with cash and investment management services, receivables and disbursement management services, funds transfer services, and access to online/mobile information management and reporting services. Treasury management revenue is reported in noninterest income and net interest income. Noninterest income includes treasury management product revenue less earnings credits provided to customers on compensating deposit balances used to pay for products and services. Net interest income includes funding credit from all treasury management customer deposit balances. Compared to the first six months of 2025, treasury management revenue increased due to growth in average deposit balances, higher product revenue and wider interest rate spreads on the value of deposits.
Commercial mortgage banking activities include revenue derived from commercial mortgage servicing (both net interest income and
noninterest income), revenue derived from commercial mortgage loans held for sale and hedges related to those activities. Total
revenue from commercial mortgage banking activities decreased in the comparison primarily due to a lower benefit from commercial mortgage servicing rights valuation, net of hedge and lower revenue from commercial mortgage loans held for sale, partially offset by higher commercial mortgage loan servicing income.
Capital markets and advisory includes services and activities primarily related to merger and acquisition advisory, equity capital markets advisory, asset-backed financing, loan syndication, securities underwriting and customer-related trading. The increase in capital markets and advisory fees in the comparison was broad-based across products and services.

The Asset Management Group consists of two primary businesses: PNC Private Bank and Institutional Asset Management.
The PNC Private Bank is focused on being a premier private bank in each of the markets it serves, seeking to deliver high quality banking, trust and investment management services to our emerging affluent, high net worth and ultra-high net worth clients through a broad array of products and services.
Institutional Asset Management provides outsourced chief investment officer, custody, cash and fixed income client solutions, and retirement plan fiduciary investment services to institutional clients, including corporations, healthcare systems, insurance companies, municipalities and non-profits.
Asset Management Group earnings in the first six months of 2026 increased $16 million compared to the same period in 2025, driven by higher revenue, partially offset by higher noninterest expense and a higher provision for credit losses.
Net interest income increased in the comparison primarily due to wider interest rate spreads on the value of deposits.
Noninterest income increased in the comparison reflecting higher average equity markets and positive net flows.
Noninterest expense increased in the comparison due to continued investments to support business growth and higher variable compensation associated with increased business activity.
Average total loans increased in the comparison and included growth in securities-based lending and higher commercial loan balances.
Average deposits were stable in the comparison.
Discretionary and nondiscretionary client assets under management increased in the comparison driven by higher spot equity markets and positive net flows.
RISK MANAGEMENT
The Risk Management section included in Item 7 of our 2025 Form 10-K describes our enterprise risk management framework, including risk culture, enterprise strategy, risk governance and oversight framework, risk identification, risk assessments, risk controls and monitoring, and risk aggregation and reporting. Additionally, our 2025 Form 10-K provides an analysis of the firm’s Capital Management and our key areas of risk, which include, but are not limited to, Credit, Market, Liquidity and Operational (including Compliance and Information Security).

Credit Risk Management
Credit risk, including our credit risk management processes, is described in further detail in the Credit Risk Management section of our 2025 Form 10-K. The following provides additional information around our loan portfolio, which represents our most significant concentration of credit risk.
Loan Portfolio Characteristics and Analysis
Table 15: Details of Loans
In billions
We use several credit quality indicators, as further detailed in Note 4 Loans and Related Allowance for Credit Losses, to monitor and measure our exposure to credit risk within our loan portfolio. The following provides additional information about the significant loan classes that comprise our Commercial and Consumer portfolio segments.
Commercial
Commercial and Industrial
Commercial and industrial loans comprised 62% and 61% of our total loan portfolio at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The majority of our commercial and industrial loans are secured by collateral that provides a secondary source of repayment should a borrower experience cash generation difficulties. Examples of this collateral include short-term assets, such as accounts receivable, inventory and securities, and long-lived assets, such as equipment, owner-occupied real estate and other business assets.
We actively manage our commercial and industrial loans to assess any changes (both positive and negative) in the level of credit risk at both the borrower and portfolio level. To evaluate the level of credit risk, we assign internal risk ratings reflecting our estimates of the borrower’s PD and LGD for each related credit facility. This two-dimensional credit risk rating methodology provides granularity in the risk monitoring process and is updated on an ongoing basis through our credit risk management processes. In addition to monitoring the level of credit risk, we monitor different sources of concentration risk, including industry concentrations that may exist in our portfolio. Our commercial and industrial portfolio is well-diversified across industries as shown in the following table (based on the North American Industry Classification System).

(a) Represents loans to customers in the real estate and construction industries.
Owner-occupied commercial real estate loans totaled $10.4 billion and $9.0 billion at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. These loans are categorized as commercial and industrial loans as the credit decisioning for servicing these loans is based on the financial conditions of the owner, not the ability of the collateral to generate income. Owner-occupied commercial real estate loans are well-diversified across industries.
Commercial Real Estate
Commercial real estate loans of $36.0 billion as of June 30, 2026 comprised $23.5 billion related to commercial mortgages on income-producing properties, $7.2 billion of intermediate-term financing loans and $5.3 billion of real estate construction project loans. At December 31, 2025, comparable amounts were $29.6 billion, $17.4 billion, $8.2 billion and $4.0 billion, respectively. Commercial real estate primarily consists of an investment in land and/or buildings held to generate income, which serves as the primary source for the repayment of the loan. However, the disposition of the assigned collateral serves as a secondary source of repayment for the loan should the borrower experience cash generation difficulties.
We monitor credit risk associated with our commercial real estate loans similar to commercial and industrial loans by analyzing PD and LGD. Additionally, risks associated with commercial real estate loans tend to be correlated to the loan structure, collateral location and quality, project progress and business environment. These attributes are also monitored and utilized in assessing credit risk. The portfolio is geographically diverse due to the nature of our business involving clients throughout the U.S.

Commercial Real Estate: Office Portfolio
Real estate performance related to the office sector continues to be an area of focus. At June 30, 2026, our outstanding loan balances in the office portfolio totaled $5.1 billion, or 1.4% of total loans, while additional unfunded loan commitments totaled $0.4 billion. Within this population, criticized loans totaled 29.4% and nonperforming loans totaled 8.1%. We have established reserves of 8.8% against office loans, which we believe reflect the expected credit losses in this portfolio. Our office portfolio remains geographically diversified.
Consumer
Residential Real Estate
Residential real estate loans primarily consist of residential mortgage loans.
We obtain loan attributes at origination, including FICO scores and LTVs, and we update these and other credit metrics at least quarterly. We track borrower performance monthly. We also segment the mortgage portfolio into pools based on product type (e.g., nonconforming or conforming). This information is used for internal reporting and risk management. As part of our overall risk analysis and monitoring, we also segment the portfolio based upon loan delinquency, nonperforming status, modification and bankruptcy status, FICO scores, LTV and geographic concentrations.

We originate residential mortgage loans nationwide through our national mortgage business as well as within our branch network. Residential mortgage loans underwritten to agency standards, including conforming loan amount limits, are typically sold with servicing retained by us. We also originate nonconforming residential mortgage loans that do not meet agency standards, which we generally retain on our balance sheet. Our portfolio of originated nonconforming residential mortgage loans totaled $45.7 billion at June 30, 2026, with 39% located in California. Comparable amounts at December 31, 2025 were $39.5 billion and 46%, respectively.
Home Equity
Home equity loans of $26.3 billion as of June 30, 2026 were comprised of $22.7 billion of home equity lines of credit and $3.6 billion of closed-end home equity installment loans. At December 31, 2025, comparable amounts were $25.9 billion, $22.1 billion and $3.8 billion, respectively. Home equity lines of credit are a variable interest rate product with fixed rate conversion options available to certain borrowers.
Similar to residential real estate loans, we obtain loan attributes at origination, including FICO scores and LTVs, and we update these and other credit metrics at least quarterly. Borrower performance of this portfolio is tracked on a monthly basis. We also segment the population into pools based on product type (e.g., first lien product and second lien product) and track the historical performance of any related mortgage loans regardless of whether we hold such liens. This information is used for internal reporting and risk management. As part of our overall risk analysis and monitoring, we also segment the portfolio based upon loan delinquency, nonperforming status, modification and bankruptcy status, FICO scores, LTV, lien position and geographic concentration.
The credit performance of the majority of the home equity portfolio where we hold the first lien position is superior to the portion of the portfolio where we hold the second lien position but do not hold the first lien. Lien position information is generally determined at the time of origination and monitored on an ongoing basis for risk management purposes. We use a third-party service provider to obtain updated loan information, including lien and collateral data that is aggregated from public and private sources.

Automobile
At June 30, 2026, total auto loans of $15.9 billion were comprised of $15.0 billion in the indirect auto portfolio and $0.9 billion in the direct auto portfolio. At December 31, 2025, comparable amounts were $16.6 billion, $15.6 billion and $1.0 billion, respectively. The indirect auto portfolio consists of loans originated primarily through independent franchised dealers. This business is strategically aligned with our core retail banking business. For the total auto loan portfolio, weighted-average loan origination FICO score, calculated using the auto enhanced FICO scale, was 800 and the weighted-average term of loan originations was 72 months for the twelve months ended June 30, 2026. Comparable amounts for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 were 799 and 71 months, respectively.
We offer both new and used auto financing to customers through our various channels. The portfolio balance was composed of 42% new vehicle loans and 58% used vehicle loans as of June 30, 2026. Comparable amounts at December 31, 2025 were 43% and 57%, respectively.
The auto loan portfolio’s performance is measured monthly, including both updated collateral values and FICO scores that are obtained at least quarterly. For internal reporting and risk management, we analyze the portfolio by product channel and product type and regularly evaluate default and delinquency experience. As part of our overall risk analysis and monitoring, we segment the portfolio by geography, channel, collateral attributes and credit metrics which include FICO score, LTV and term.
Nonperforming Assets and Loan Delinquencies
Nonperforming Assets
Nonperforming assets include nonperforming loans and leases, OREO, foreclosed and other assets. Nonperforming loans are those loans accounted for at amortized cost whose credit quality has deteriorated to the extent full collection of contractual principal and interest is not probable. Loans held for sale, certain government insured or guaranteed loans and loans accounted for under the fair value option are excluded from nonperforming loans. See Note 1 Accounting Policies in our 2025 Form 10-K for details on our nonaccrual policies.

Loan Delinquencies
We regularly monitor the level of loan delinquencies and believe these levels are a key indicator of credit quality in our loan portfolio. Measurement of delinquency status is based on the contractual terms of each loan. Loans that are 30 days or more past due are considered delinquent. Loan delinquencies include government insured or guaranteed loans, and loans accounted for under the fair value option. Amounts exclude loans held for sale.
We manage credit risk based on the risk profile of the borrower, repayment sources, underlying collateral, and other support given current events, economic conditions and expectations. We refine our practices to address operating environment changes such as inflation levels, industry specific risks, interest rate levels, the level of consumer savings and deposit balances, and structural and secular changes such as those that arose from the pandemic. We offer loan modifications and collection programs to assist our customers and mitigate losses.

As such, they are excluded from nonperforming loans.
Loan Modifications
We may provide relief to our customers experiencing financial hardships through a variety of solutions. Commercial loan and lease modifications are based on each individual borrower’s situation, while consumer loan modifications are evaluated under our hardship relief programs. For additional information on our commercial real estate, office-related modification offerings, see the Commercial Real Estate portion of the Credit Risk Management section of this Financial Review.
See Note 4 Loans and Related Allowance for Credit Losses for additional information on loan modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty.
Allowance for Credit Losses
Our determination of the ACL is based on historical loss and performance experience, current economic conditions, the reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions and other relevant factors, including current borrower and/or transaction characteristics and assessments of the remaining estimated contractual term as of the balance sheet date. We maintain the ACL at an appropriate level for expected losses on our existing investment securities, loans, equipment finance leases, other financial assets and unfunded lending related commitments.
See Note 1 Accounting Policies and the Credit Risk Management section in our 2025 Form 10-K for additional discussion of our ACL, including details of our methodologies. See also the Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments section of this Report for further discussion of the assumptions used in the determination of the ACL as of June 30, 2026.

Liquidity and Capital Management
Our liquidity risk framework and related monitoring measures and tools, including internal liquidity stress testing as well as compliance with internal and regulatory limits and guidelines, are described in further detail in the Liquidity and Capital Management section of our 2025 Form 10-K.
One of the ways we monitor our liquidity is by reference to the LCR, a regulatory minimum liquidity requirement designed to ensure that covered banking organizations maintain an adequate level of liquidity to meet net liquidity needs over the course of a hypothetical 30-day stress scenario. PNC and PNC Bank calculate the LCR daily and are required to maintain a regulatory minimum of 100%. The LCR for PNC and PNC Bank exceeded the regulatory minimum requirement throughout the second quarter of 2026. Fluctuations in our LCR result from changes to the components of the calculation, including high-quality liquid assets and net cash outflows, as a result of ongoing business activity.
The NSFR is designed to measure the stability of the maturity structure of assets and liabilities of banking organizations over a one-year time horizon. PNC and PNC Bank calculate the NSFR daily and are required to maintain a regulatory minimum of 100%. The NSFR for PNC and PNC Bank exceeded the regulatory minimum requirement throughout the second quarter of 2026.
The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. – Form 10-Q 29
We provide additional information regarding regulatory liquidity requirements and their potential impact on us in the Supervision and Regulation section of Item 1 Business and Item 1A Risk Factors of our 2025 Form 10-K.
Sources of Liquidity
Our largest source of liquidity on a consolidated basis is the customer deposit base generated by our banking businesses. These deposits provide relatively stable and low-cost funding. Total deposits increased to $449.8 billion at June 30, 2026 from $440.9 billion at December 31, 2025, primarily driven by higher noninterest-bearing deposits, and included the addition of FirstBank deposits. Interest-bearing deposits were stable and reflected higher consumer balances, offset by a seasonal decline in commercial balances and lower brokered time deposits. As of June 30, 2026, uninsured deposits represented approximately 45% of our total deposit base, which is estimated based on the regulatory instructions in the Consolidated Reports of Condition and Income - FFIEC 031. The majority of our uninsured deposits are related to commercial operating and relationship accounts, which we define as commercial deposit customers who utilize two or more PNC products. See the Funding Sources section in the Consolidated Balance Sheet Review and the Business Segments Review of this Financial Review for additional information on our deposits and related strategies.
We may also obtain liquidity through various forms of funding, such as senior debt, subordinated debt, FHLB advances, securities sold under repurchase agreements, commercial paper and other short-term borrowings. See the Funding Sources section in the Consolidated Balance Sheet Review of this Financial Review and Note 8 Borrowed Funds included in this Report for additional information related to our borrowings.
Total senior and subordinated debt, on a consolidated basis, increased due to the following activity:

In billions 2026
January 1 $ 41.7
Issuances 5.7
Calls and maturities (4.3)
Other (0.6)
June 30 $ 42.5
Additionally, PNC maintains access to contingent funding sources that include unused borrowing capacity and certain liquid assets. PNC has a contingency funding plan designed to ensure that liquidity sources are sufficient to meet ongoing obligations and commitments, particularly in the event of liquidity stress. This plan is designed to examine and quantify the organization’s liquidity under various internal liquidity stress scenarios and is periodically tested to assess the plan’s reliability. Additionally, the plan provides the strategies for addressing liquidity needs and responsive actions we would consider during liquidity stress events, which could include the issuance of incremental debt, preferred stock, or additional deposit actions, including the issuance of brokered time deposits. The plan also addresses the governance, frequency of reporting and the responsibilities of key departments in the event of liquidity stress.
PNC defines our primary contingent liquidity sources as cash held at the FRB, investment securities and unused borrowing capacity at the FHLB and FRB. The following table summarizes our primary contingent liquidity sources at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

(c)Total borrowing capacity with the FRB was $86.7 billion at June 30, 2026 and $81.5 billion at December 31, 2025. PNC had no outstanding borrowings with the FRB at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
30 The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. – Form 10-Q
Bank Liquidity
In addition to our primary contingent liquidity sources, under PNC Bank’s 2014 bank note program, as amended, PNC Bank may from time to time offer up to $40.0 billion aggregate principal amount outstanding at any one time of its unsecured senior and subordinated notes with maturity dates more than nine months (in the case of senior notes) and five years or more (in the case of subordinated notes) from their date of issue. At June 30, 2026, PNC Bank’s remaining capacity to issue under the program was $35.0 billion.
The following table details PNC Bank note redemptions during the second quarter of 2026.
Table 27: PNC Bank Notes Redeemed
Redemption Date Amount Description of Redemption
May 13, 2026 $1.25 billion All outstanding 4.543% senior fixed-to-floating rate notes with an original scheduled maturity date of May 13, 2027. The redemption price was equal to 100% of the principal amount, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date of May 13, 2026.
Under PNC Bank’s 2013 commercial paper program, PNC Bank has the ability to offer up to $10.0 billion of its commercial paper to provide additional liquidity. At June 30, 2026, there were no issuances outstanding under this program.
Additionally, PNC Bank may also access funding from the parent company through deposits placed at the bank or issuing intercompany unsecured notes.
Parent Company Liquidity
In addition to managing liquidity risk at the bank level, we manage the parent company’s liquidity. The parent company’s contractual obligations consist primarily of debt service related to parent company borrowings and funding non-bank affiliates. Additionally, the parent company maintains liquidity to fund discretionary activities such as paying dividends to our shareholders, share repurchases and acquisitions.
At June 30, 2026, available parent company liquidity totaled $31.4 billion. Parent company liquidity is held in intercompany cash and investments. For investments with longer durations, the related maturities are aligned with scheduled cash needs, such as the maturity of parent company debt obligations.
The principal source of parent company liquidity is the dividends or other capital distributions it receives from PNC Bank, which may be impacted by the following:
•Bank-level capital needs,
•Laws, regulations and the results of supervisory activities,
•Corporate policies,
•Contractual restrictions, and
•Other factors.
There are statutory and regulatory limitations on the ability of a national bank to pay dividends or make other capital distributions or to extend credit to the parent company or its non-bank subsidiaries. The amount available for dividend payments by PNC Bank to the parent company without prior regulatory approval was $5.0 billion at June 30, 2026. See Note 19 Regulatory Matters in our 2025 Form 10-K for further discussion of these limitations.
In addition to dividends from PNC Bank, other sources of parent company liquidity include cash and investments, as well as dividends and loan repayments from other subsidiaries and dividends or distributions from equity investments. We can also generate liquidity for the parent company and PNC’s non-bank subsidiaries through the issuance of debt and equity securities, including certain capital instruments, in public or private markets and commercial paper, and through other borrowings. Under the parent company’s 2014 commercial paper program, the parent company has the ability to offer up to $5.0 billion of commercial paper to provide additional liquidity. At June 30, 2026, there were no issuances outstanding under this program.

See Note 17 Subsequent Events for details on the following parent company activity:
•issuance of $1.0 billion of 5.463% senior fixed-to-floating rate notes that mature on July 21, 2037;
•issuance of $1.0 billion of 4.831% senior fixed-to-floating rate notes that mature on July 19, 2030; and
•redemption of all outstanding 5.102% senior fixed-to-floating rate notes due July 23, 2027.
Parent company senior and subordinated debt carrying value totaled $37.6 billion and $33.7 billion at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
Contractual Obligations and Commitments
We enter into various contractual arrangements in the normal course of business, certain of which require future payments that could impact our liquidity and capital resources. See the Liquidity and Capital Management portion of the Risk Management section of our 2025 Form 10-K for more information on these future cash outflows. Additionally, in the normal course of business, we have various commitments outstanding, certain of which are not included on our Consolidated Balance Sheet. We provide information on our commitments in Note 9 Commitments.
Credit Ratings
PNC’s credit ratings affect the cost and availability of short and long-term funding, collateral requirements for certain derivative instruments and the ability to offer certain products.
In general, rating agencies base their ratings on many quantitative and qualitative factors, including capital adequacy, liquidity, asset quality, business mix, level and quality of earnings, and the current legislative and regulatory environment, including implied government support. A decrease, or potential decrease, in credit ratings could impact access to the capital markets and/or increase the cost of debt, and thereby adversely affect liquidity and financial condition. For additional information on the potential impacts from a downgrade to our credit ratings, see Item 1A Risk Factors in our 2025 Form 10-K.

Capital Management
Detailed information on our capital management processes and activities is included in the Supervision and Regulation section of Item 1 of our 2025 Form 10-K.
We manage our funding and capital positions by making adjustments to our balance sheet size and composition, issuing or redeeming debt, issuing equity or other capital instruments, executing treasury stock transactions and capital redemptions or repurchases, and managing dividend policies and retaining earnings.
In the second quarter of 2026, PNC returned $1.3 billion of capital to shareholders, reflecting $0.7 billion of dividends on common shares and $0.6 billion of common share repurchases. The SCB framework permits capital return in amounts in excess of SCB minimum levels. Consistent with this framework, PNC had approximately 29% of the 100 million common shares still available for repurchase at June 30, 2026 under the repurchase program previously approved by our Board of Directors. Share repurchase activity in the third quarter of 2026 is expected to approximate second quarter of 2026 share repurchase levels. PNC may adjust share repurchase activity depending on market and economic conditions, as well as other factors. PNC’s SCB will be maintained at the regulatory minimum of 2.5% through September 30, 2027.
On July 6, 2026, the PNC Board of Directors raised the quarterly cash dividend on common stock to $2.00 per share, an increase of 30 cents, or 18%. The dividend is payable on August 5, 2026 to shareholders of record at the close of business July 20, 2026.

(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)The supplementary leverage ratio is calculated based on tier 1 capital divided by supplementary leverage exposure, which takes into account the quarterly average of both on balance sheet assets as well as certain off-balance sheet items, including loan commitments and potential future exposure under derivative contracts.
(d)The leverage ratio is calculated based on tier 1 capital divided by average quarterly adjusted total assets.
PNC’s regulatory risk-based capital ratios 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, nonaccruals, FDMs, past due exposures and equity exposures are generally subject to higher risk weights than other types of exposures.
At June 30, 2026, PNC and PNC Bank were considered “well capitalized” based on applicable U.S. regulatory capital ratio requirements. To qualify as “well capitalized,” PNC must have Basel III capital ratios of at least 6% for tier 1 risk-based capital and 10% for total risk-based capital, and PNC Bank must have Basel III capital ratios of at least 6.5% for common equity tier 1 risk-based capital, 8% for tier 1 risk-based capital, 10% for total risk-based capital and a leverage ratio of at least 5%.
Federal banking regulators have stated that they expect the largest U.S. BHCs, including PNC, to have a level of regulatory capital well in excess of the regulatory minimum and have required the largest U.S. BHCs, including PNC, to have a capital buffer sufficient to withstand losses and allow them to meet the credit needs of their customers through estimated stress scenarios. We seek to manage our capital consistent with these regulatory principles, and we believe that our June 30, 2026 capital levels were aligned with them.
We provide additional information regarding regulatory capital requirements and some of their potential impacts, including the proposed rules to adjust the Basel III framework, in the Supervision and Regulation section of Item 1 Business, Item 1A Risk Factors and Note 19 Regulatory Matters in our 2025 Form 10-K.

Market Risk Management
See the Market Risk Management portion of the Risk Management section in our 2025 Form 10-K for additional discussion regarding market risk.
Market Risk Management – Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk results primarily from our traditional banking activities of gathering deposits and extending loans. Many factors, including economic and financial conditions, movements in interest rates and consumer preferences, affect the difference between the interest that we earn on assets, the interest that we pay on liabilities and the level of our noninterest-bearing funding sources. Due to the repricing term mismatches and embedded options inherent in certain of these products, changes in market interest rates not only affect expected near-term earnings, but also the economic values of these assets and liabilities.
Our Asset and Liability Management group centrally manages interest rate risk as prescribed in our market risk-related risk management policies, which are approved by management’s ALCO and the Risk Committee of the Board of Directors.
PNC utilizes sensitivities of NII and EVE to a set of interest rate scenarios to identify and measure its short-term and long-term structural interest rate risks.
The following table includes NII sensitivity results as of June 30, 2026 and 2025.

200 basis point instantaneous decrease (1.6) % (2.0) %
(a)The effect on NII in the first year from a 100 basis point increase is approximately equal to the disclosed results for the 200 basis point scenario. The impact of a 100 basis point decrease is approximately one third of the disclosed results for the 200 basis point scenario.
When forecasting NII, we make certain key assumptions that can materially impact the resulting sensitivities, including the following:
Future Balance Sheet Composition: Our balance sheet composition is dynamic and based on our forecasted expectations. The projected balance sheet composition by the end of year one is generally consistent with the spot composition at June 30, 2026.
Balance Sheet Forecast: Our balance sheet forecast is based on various assumptions that include key interest rate risk aspects such as loan and deposit growth, as well as mix, and is consistent with our guidance.
Deposit Betas: Deposit pricing changes are primarily driven by changes in the Federal Funds rate. PNC’s cumulative deposit beta was 47% through June 2026. We define the cumulative deposit beta as the change in deposit rate paid on total interest-bearing deposits divided by the change in the upper level of the average stated Federal Funds rate range since August 2024, the start of the current easing rate cycle. For rate sensitivity purposes, PNC assumes the cumulative deposit beta will decrease slightly from the current level. For interest rate risk modeling, PNC uses dynamic beta models to adjust assumed repricing sensitivity depending on market rate levels as well as other factors. The dynamic beta assumptions reflect historical experience as well as future expectations, and are periodically updated to reflect the current view of future expectations. Actual deposit rates paid may differ from modeled projections due to variables such as competition for deposits and customer behavior.
Asset Prepayments: PNC includes prepayment assumptions for both loan and investment portfolios. Mortgage and home equity portfolios utilize an industry standard model to drive estimated prepayments that increase in lower rate environments. Commercial and other consumer loan portfolios assume static constant prepayment rates that are consistent across rate scenarios, as those portfolios historically do not exhibit significantly different prepayment behaviors based upon the level of market rates.
Impact of Derivatives: As part of our risk management strategy, PNC uses interest rate derivatives, some of which are forward starting, to hedge floating rate commercial loans. PNC had $78.3 billion in active and forward starting receive fix / pay float swaps used to hedge floating rate commercial loans as of June 30, 2026, with a weighted average duration of 2.5 years and an average fixed rate of 3.75%. Additionally, PNC utilizes receive fix / pay float swaps to hedge fixed rate debt, as well as pay fix / receive float swaps to hedge the investment securities portfolio. See Note 13 Financial Derivatives for additional information on how we use derivatives to hedge these financial instruments.

EVE measures the present value of all projected future cash flows associated with a point-in-time balance sheet and does not include projected new volume. EVE sensitivity to interest rate changes is a complementary metric to NII sensitivity analysis and represents an estimation of long-term interest rate risk. PNC calculates its EVE sensitivity by measuring the changes in the economic value of assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet instruments in response to an instantaneous +/-200 bps parallel shift in interest rates. Similar to the NII sensitivity analysis, we incorporate dynamic deposit repricing and loan prepayment assumptions. Directionally, higher deposit beta assumptions result in increasing liability sensitivity whereas lower deposit betas increase asset sensitivity. Conceptually similar, higher loan prepayment assumptions cause an increase in asset sensitivity and lower prepayments result in an increase in liability sensitivity. These behavioral modeling assumptions are largely consistent between the EVE and NII sensitivity analyses, and also share the same starting balance sheet position as of June 30, 2026. Deposit attrition is also a significant contributor to EVE sensitivity. Deposit attrition is projected based on a dynamic model developed using long-term historical deposit behavior in addition to management assumptions. PNC performs various sensitivity analyses to understand the impact of faster and slower deposit attrition, loan prepayments and deposit betas on our risk metrics, with the results reported to ALCO.
Compared to the second quarter of 2025, there have been no material changes to our NII sensitivity and EVE sensitivity assumptions, including data sources that drive assumptions setting.
Market Risk Management – Customer-Related Trading Risk
We engage in fixed income securities, derivatives and foreign exchange transactions to support our customers’ investing and hedging activities. These transactions, related hedges and the credit and funding valuation adjustment related to our customer derivatives portfolio are marked-to-market daily and reported as customer-related trading activities. We do not engage in proprietary trading of these products.
We use VaR as the primary means to measure and monitor market risk in customer-related trading activities. VaR is used to estimate the probability of portfolio losses based on the statistical analysis of historical market risk factors. A diversified VaR reflects empirical
correlations across different asset classes. VaR is computed with positions and market risk factors updated daily to ensure each portfolio is operating within its acceptable limits. See the Market Risk Management – Customer-Related Trading Risk section of our 2025 Form 10-K for more information on our models used to calculate VaR and our backtesting process.
Customer-related trading revenue was $176 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $91 million for the same period in 2025, and is recorded in Capital markets and advisory noninterest income and Other interest income on our Consolidated Income Statement. The increase was primarily due to higher derivative customer-related trading revenue.
Market Risk Management – Equity And Other Investment Risk
Equity investment risk is the risk of potential losses associated with investing in both private and public equity markets. In addition to extending credit, taking deposits, underwriting securities and trading financial instruments, we make and manage direct investments in a variety of transactions, including management buyouts, recapitalizations and growth financings in a variety of industries. We also have investments in affiliated and non-affiliated funds that make similar investments in private equity, consistent with regulatory limitations. The economic and/or book value of these investments and other assets are directly affected by changes in market factors.
Various PNC business units manage our equity and other investment activities. Our businesses are responsible for making investment decisions within the approved policy limits and associated guidelines.
A summary of our equity investments follows:

Tax Credit Investments
Included in our equity investments are direct tax credit investments and equity investments held by consolidated entities. These tax credit investment balances included unfunded commitments totaling $3.2 billion and $3.4 billion at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. These unfunded commitments are included in Other liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Note 4 Loan Sale and Servicing Activities and Variable Interest Entities in our 2025 Form 10-K has further information on tax credit investments.
Private Equity and Other
The largest component of our other equity investments is our private equity portfolio. The private equity portfolio is an illiquid portfolio consisting of mezzanine and equity investments that vary by industry, stage and type of investment. Private equity investments carried at estimated fair value totaled $2.7 billion and $2.8 billion at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. As of June 30, 2026, $2.4 billion was invested directly in a variety of companies, and $0.3 billion was invested indirectly through various private equity funds. Changes in fair value of private equity investments are recognized in Other noninterest income.
Our other equity investments at June 30, 2026, also included Visa Class B-3 common shares, which are recorded at cost, and Visa Class C and Class A common shares recorded at fair value. During the second quarter of 2026, PNC participated in the Visa exchange program, allowing PNC to convert its Visa Class B-2 common shares into 0.9 million of Visa Class B-3 common shares and 0.3 million of Visa Class C common shares. The Visa Class B-3 common shares remain subject to the same restrictions that were imposed on the Visa Class B-2 common shares. Participation in the exchange required PNC to agree to a make-whole agreement that subjects PNC to the same indemnity obligations to Visa as prior to participation in the exchange program. In the second quarter of 2026, we recorded a $448 million gain related to the Visa Class C common shares received. At June 30, 2026, PNC held its remaining Class C common shares and Class A common shares representing a portion of PNC’s converted Class C common shares related to the donation to the PNC Foundation collectively totaling approximately $0.3 billion in fair value.
Visa Class B-3 common shares that we own are transferable only under limited circumstances until the resolution of the pending interchange litigation or Visa launches another exchange program allowing PNC to convert a portion of its Visa Class B-3 common shares into freely transferable Visa Class C common shares. The estimated value of our total investment in the Visa Class B-3 common shares was approximately $0.5 billion, while our cost basis was insignificant. The estimated value does not represent fair value of the Visa Class B-3 common shares given the shares’ limited transferability and the lack of observable transactions in the marketplace. See Note 14 Fair Value and Note 20 Legal Proceedings in our 2025 Form 10-K for additional information regarding our Visa agreements.
We also have certain other equity investments, the majority of which represent investments in affiliated and non-affiliated funds with both traditional and alternative investment strategies. Net gains related to these investments were $16 million and $5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and June 30, 2025, respectively.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION
PNC reports certain financial measures that are not in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures are provided as supplemental information to the financial measures in this Report that are calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. While we believe that these non-GAAP measures are useful tools for the purpose of evaluating certain financial results, they should not be considered superior to and are not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related GAAP financial measures presented in this Report.

(a)The interest income earned on certain interest-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.

RECENT REGULATORY DEVELOPMENTS
FDIC Insurance; Resolution Planning
On June 30, 2026, the FDIC issued proposals to amend its assessments and resolution plan submission rules. The assessments proposal would reduce assessments by 2 basis points for smaller banks and by 1 basis point for large and highly complex banks like PNC Bank. The proposal would also allow large and highly complex banks to obtain an additional reduction through a “resolution readiness adjustment” by opting in to (i) virtual data room testing, where banks would receive an additional 0.5 basis point reduction for successfully demonstrating the capability to upload specified information to the FDIC’s virtual data room within 48 hours of a request, and (ii) data access requirements, where banks would receive an additional 0.5 basis point reduction by enabling FDIC access to internal data systems needed to receive and process data in the event of an institution’s failure. Based on our initial review, the proposal would result in immaterial cost savings for PNC Bank if finalized as proposed.
The resolution plan proposal significantly scales back content requirements, moving away from descriptions of resolution-related hypothetical strategies and descriptions of a bank’s resolution capabilities. In addition, the proposal would eliminate the FDIC’s credibility assessment of submissions, as well as expectations for capabilities testing. The proposal would also adjust submission timing to require submissions every three years for all institutions, with no interim supplement submission required in off years. Comments on both proposals are due August 31, 2026.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS
Our consolidated financial statements are prepared by applying certain accounting policies. Note 1 Accounting Policies in our 2025 Form 10-K describes the most significant accounting policies that we use. Certain of these policies require us to make estimates or economic assumptions that may vary under different assumptions or conditions, and such variations may significantly affect our reported results and financial position for the period or in future periods. See the Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments section of our 2025 Form 10-K for additional information on these policies, which include the ACL, MSRs and fair value measurements. The following provides further detail on the estimates and judgments used in determining the ACL as of June 30, 2026.
Allowance for Credit Losses
The economic scenarios used for the period ended June 30, 2026 consider, among other factors, ongoing geopolitical conflicts, higher energy prices and the impacts of trade and fiscal policy, including tariffs, on the U.S. economic outlook. Given these factors, growth is expected to remain steady with current levels in the coming quarters. While recession risks remain elevated, our most likely expectation is that the U.S. economy avoids a recession. We believe the economic scenarios effectively reflect the distribution of potential economic outcomes.
We used a number of economic variables in our scenarios, with two of the most significant drivers being real GDP and the U.S. unemployment rate. The following table presents a comparison of these two economic variables based on the weighted-average scenario forecasts used in determining our ACL at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

Qualitative Component
Qualitative factors may include, but are not limited to, inherent forecasting limitations, model imprecision, timing of available information, and/or emerging and ongoing credit risks. At June 30, 2026, the qualitative framework considers PNC’s view of the current state of the economy, which primarily reflects downside risks related to the macroeconomic and geopolitical environment, stress on consumers and the continued uncertainty due to the fundamental change in office demand.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
We make statements in this Report, and we may from time to time make other statements, regarding our outlook for financial performance, such as 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, including our sustainability strategy, 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 any obligation 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,
The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. – Form 10-Q 43
–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 sanctions, tariffs and other trade policies of the U.S. and its global trading partners,
–Impacts of changes in federal, state and local governmental policy, including on the regulatory landscape, capital markets, taxes, infrastructure spending and social programs,
–Our ability to attract, recruit and retain skilled employees, 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. These statements are based on our views that:
–PNC’s baseline forecast remains for continued expansion in 2026, with economic growth expected to remain resilient despite oil prices that are up from early 2026, supported by strong AI-related capex, tax refunds, and an improving labor market. We expect real GDP growth of 2.1% in 2026, with continued modest job gains and the unemployment rate holding roughly steady, ending the year at around 4.3%. Inflation risks have eased somewhat but we still expect inflation to remain elevated, with CPI inflation staying above 3% through year-end. Risks to our growth and inflation outlook include a sudden reversal in AI-related sentiment, which would have knock-on effects on both capex and wealth-driven consumer spending, as well as any further sharp rise in oil prices.
–Our baseline forecast is for the Federal Reserve to keep the federal funds rate unchanged throughout 2026 and into 2027, in a range between 3.50% and 3.75%. However, risks remain skewed toward tighter monetary policy given persistent above-target inflation and inflationary pressures from higher energy prices and continued strength in capital spending.
•PNC’s ability to take certain capital actions, including returning capital to shareholders, is subject to PNC meeting or exceeding minimum capital levels, including a stress capital buffer established by the Federal Reserve Board in connection with the Federal Reserve Board’s CCAR process.
•PNC’s regulatory capital ratios in the future will depend on, among other things, PNC’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 and the reliability of and risks resulting from extensive use of such models.
•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 employees. These developments could include:
–Changes to laws and regulations, including changes affecting oversight of the financial services industry, changes in the enforcement and interpretation of such laws and regulations and changes in accounting and reporting standards.
–Unfavorable resolution of legal proceedings or other claims and regulatory and other governmental investigations or other inquiries resulting in monetary losses, costs, or alterations in our business practices and potentially causing reputational harm to PNC.
–Results of the regulatory examination and supervision process, including our failure to satisfy requirements of agreements with governmental agencies.
–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 reputation and business and operating results may be affected by our ability to appropriately meet or address environmental, social or governance targets, goals, commitments or concerns that may arise.
•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, the integration of the acquired businesses into PNC after closing or any failure to execute strategic or operational plans.
•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 manmade, natural and other disasters (including severe weather events), health emergencies, dislocations, geopolitical instabilities or events, terrorist activities, system failures or disruptions, security breaches, cyberattacks, international hostilities, or other extraordinary events beyond PNC’s control

through impacts on the economy and financial markets generally or on us or our counterparties, customers or third-party vendors and service providers specifically.
We provide greater detail regarding these as well as other factors in our 2025 Form 10-K and elsewhere in this Report, including in the Risk Factors and Risk Management sections and the Legal Proceedings and Commitments Notes in these reports. Our forward-looking statements may also be subject to other risks and uncertainties, including those discussed elsewhere in this Report or in our other filings with the SEC.
