FINANCIAL REVIEW

THE PNC FINANCIAL SERVICES GROUP, INC.

This Financial Review, including the Consolidated Financial Highlights, should be read together with our unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and unaudited Statistical Information included elsewhere in this Report and with Items 6, 7, 8 and 9A of our 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K (2016 Form 10-K). We have reclassified certain prior period amounts to conform with the current period presentation, which we believe is more meaningful to readers of our consolidated financial statements. For information regarding certain business, regulatory and legal risks, see the following: the Risk Management section of this Financial Review and of Item 7 in our 2016 Form 10-K; Item 1A Risk Factors included in our 2016 Form 10-K; and the Legal Proceedings and Commitments Notes of the Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1 of this Report and Item 8 of our 2016 Form 10-K. Also, see the Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information section in this Financial Review and the Critical Accounting Estimates And Judgments section in this Financial Review and in our 2016 Form 10-K for certain other factors that could cause actual results or future events to differ, perhaps materially, from historical performance and from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements included in this Report. See Note 14 Segment Reporting in the Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Report for a reconciliation of total business segment earnings to total PNC consolidated net income as reported on a generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) basis. In this Report, “PNC”, “we” or “us” refers to The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis. References to The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. or to any of its subsidiaries are specifically made where applicable.

(a) The Executive Summary and Consolidated Income Statement Review portions of this Financial Review section provide information regarding items impacting the comparability of the periods presented.
(b) The effective income tax rates are generally lower than the statutory rate due to the relationship of pretax income to tax credits and earnings that are not subject to tax.
(c) Calculated as annualized taxable-equivalent net interest income divided by average earning assets. To provide more meaningful comparisons of net interest margins, we use net interest income on a taxable-equivalent basis in calculating net interest margin by increasing the interest income earned on tax-exempt assets to make it fully equivalent to interest income earned on taxable investments. This adjustment is not permitted under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the Consolidated Income Statement. The taxable-equivalent adjustments to net interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016 were $54 million and $48 million, respectively. The taxable-equivalent adjustments to net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016 were $106 million and $96 million, respectively. For additional information, see Statistical Information (Unaudited) section in Item 1 of this Report.

Capital Highlights

We maintained a strong capital position and continued to return capital to shareholders.

   

The Transitional Basel III common equity Tier 1 capital ratio was 10.3% at June 30, 2017 compared to 10.6% at December 31, 2016.

   

Pro forma fully phased-in Basel III common equity Tier 1 capital ratio, a non-GAAP financial measure, was an estimated 9.8% at June 30, 2017 compared to 10.0% at December 31, 2016 based on the standardized approach rules.

   

In the second quarter of 2017, we returned $1.0 billion of capital to shareholders through repurchases of 5.7 million common shares for $.7 billion and dividends on common shares of $.3 billion, completing our common stock repurchase program for the four quarter period ending in the second quarter of 2017.

   

In June 2017, we announced share repurchase programs of up to $2.7 billion for the four-quarter period beginning in the third quarter of 2017, including repurchases of up to $.3 billion related to employee benefit plans.

   

In July 2017, our board of directors raised the quarterly cash dividend on common stock to 75 cents per share, an increase of 20 cents per share, or 36%, effective with the August 2017 dividend.

See the Liquidity and Capital Management portion of the Risk Management section of this Financial Review for more detail on our 2017 capital and liquidity actions as well as our capital ratios.

Our ability to take certain capital actions, including plans to pay or increase common stock dividends or to repurchase shares under current or future programs, is subject to the results of the supervisory assessment of capital adequacy undertaken by the Federal Reserve as part of the CCAR

process. For additional information, see the Supervision and Regulation section in Item 1 Business of our 2016 Form 10-K.

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 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 current view that the U.S. economy and the labor market will grow moderately in 2017, boosted by stable oil/energy prices, improving consumer spending and housing activity, and some federal fiscal policy stimulus as a result of the 2016 elections. Short-term interest rates and bond yields are expected to continue rising in 2017; inflation has slowed in the first half of 2017, but should gradually accelerate into 2018. Specifically, our business outlook reflects our expectation of continued steady growth in GDP, one 25 basis point increase in short-term interest rates by the Federal Reserve in December of 2017, and an announcement from the Federal Reserve that it will begin to reduce the size of its balance sheet in the fall of 2017. We are also assuming that long-term rates rise at a slower pace than short-term rates. See the Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information section in this Financial Review and Item 1A Risk Factors in our 2016 Form 10-K for other factors that could cause future events to differ, perhaps materially, from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements.

For the full year 2017 compared to full year 2016, we continue to expect:

   

Loans to increase by mid-single digits, on a percentage basis;

   

Revenue growth in the upper end of the mid-single digit range, on a percentage basis;

   

Noninterest expense to increase by low single digits, on a percentage basis; and

   

The effective tax rate to be between 25% and 26% absent the impact of any tax reform.

For each remaining quarter of 2017, we expect other noninterest income to be between $250 million and $300 million.

For the third quarter of 2017 compared to the second quarter of 2017, we expect:

   

Modest loan growth;

   

Net interest income to increase by low single digits, on a percentage basis;

   

Fee income to be stable. Fee income consists of asset management, consumer services, corporate services, residential mortgage and service charges on deposits;

   

Provision for credit losses to be between $75 million and $125 million; and

   

Noninterest expense to be stable.

CONSOLIDATED INCOME STATEMENT REVIEW

Our Consolidated Income Statement is presented in Part I, Item 1 of this Report.

Net income for the second quarter of 2017 was $1.1 billion, or $2.10 per diluted common share, an increase of 11% compared to $1.0 billion, or $1.82 per diluted common share, for the second quarter of 2016. For the first six months of 2017, net income was $2.2 billion, or $4.05 per diluted common share, an increase of 12% compared to $1.9 billion, or $3.49 per diluted common share, for the first six months of 2016.

Net income increased in both comparisons driven by a 7% increase in revenue from higher net interest income and noninterest income and a lower provision for credit losses, partially offset by a 5% increase in noninterest expense.

(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.

 

The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. – Form 10-Q    5


Changes in net interest income and 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 the Statistical Information (Unaudited) – Average Consolidated Balance Sheet And Net Interest Analysis section of this Report for additional information.

Net interest income increased by $190 million, or 9%, and $252 million, or 6%, for the second quarter and first six months of 2017, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2016. The increase in both comparisons was attributable to higher loan yields and loan growth, as well as increased securities balances, partially offset by an increase in borrowing and deposit costs. Net interest margin increased in both comparisons largely reflecting the benefit from higher interest rates in the 2017 periods.

Average investment securities increased $5.2 billion, or 7%, and $5.6 billion, or 8%, in the quarterly and year-to-date comparisons, respectively. The increase in both comparisons reflected net purchases of agency residential mortgage-backed securities and U.S Treasury securities, partially offset by declines in average commercial mortgage-backed securities and non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities. Total investment securities increased to 23% of average interest-earning assets compared to 22% in the quarterly comparison and was 23% in both of the year-to-date periods.

Average loans grew $8.0 billion, or 4%, and $6.6 billion, or 3%, in the quarterly and year-to-date comparisons, respectively. The increase in average loans in both comparisons was driven by broad growth across our businesses within our Corporate & Institutional Banking segment, as well as higher residential mortgage loans within our Retail Banking segment. Both comparisons also reflected the impact of our acquisition of a commercial and vendor finance business with $1.0 billion of loans and leases. These increases were partially offset by decreases in consumer loans driven by runoff in the non-strategic consumer loan portfolios of brokered home equity and government guaranteed education loans. Loans remained stable at 67% of average interest-earning assets in the quarterly comparison and 66% for the first six months of 2017 compared to 67% for the same period in 2016.

Average total deposits of $256.4 billion for the second quarter of 2017 grew $8.8 billion, or 4%, over the second quarter of 2016, and average year-to-date deposits grew $8.8 billion, or 4%, over the same period of 2016, largely due to growth in average interest-bearing deposits, which increased $7.2 billion and $7.6 billion in both comparisons. This growth was driven by higher average savings deposits, which reflected a shift from money market deposits to relationship-based savings products, as well as higher average interest-bearing demand deposits. Average interest-bearing deposits represented 76% of average interest-bearing liabilities in both the quarterly and year-to-date comparison.

Noninterest income as a percentage of total revenue was 44% for the second quarter of 2017 compared to 45% for the same period in 2016. The comparable amounts for the year-to-date periods were both 44%.

Asset management revenue increased in both comparisons driven by higher earnings from BlackRock and the impact of higher average equity markets in our asset management business. Discretionary client assets under management increased to $141 billion at June 30, 2017 compared with $135 billion at June 30, 2016.

Corporate services revenue increased in both comparisons largely reflecting higher merger and acquisition advisory fees and other capital markets-related revenue, including both higher loan syndication fees and treasury management fees.

Residential mortgage revenue decreased in both the quarterly and year-to-date comparisons as a result of lower loan sales revenue and a lower benefit from residential mortgage servicing rights valuation, net of economic hedge.

 

 

6    The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. – Form 10-Q


Other noninterest income increased in both comparisons largely driven by higher revenue from private equity investments reflecting positive impacts from valuation adjustments on equity investments subject to the Volcker Rule provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act and higher revenue from credit valuations on customer-related derivative activities. These increases were partially offset by the impact of 2016 net gains on the sale of Visa Class B common shares. The quarterly comparison also reflected higher revenue from commercial mortgage loans held for sale activities and higher operating lease income.

Provision For Credit Losses

The provision for credit losses decreased $29 million to $98 million in the second quarter of 2017 compared to the second quarter of 2016 and decreased $93 million to $186 million for the first six months of 2017 compared to the same period in 2016. The decrease in both periods was due to lower provisions for certain energy related loans in the oil, gas and coal sectors partially offset by an initial provision for a loan and lease portfolio obtained through the acquisition of a commercial and vendor finance business in the second quarter of 2017.

The Credit Risk Management portion of the Risk Management section of this Financial Review includes additional information regarding factors impacting the provision for credit losses.

Higher noninterest expense in both the quarterly and year-to-date comparisons reflected overall higher levels of business activity and ongoing investments in technology and business infrastructure as PNC continued to focus on disciplined expense management.

As of June 30, 2017, we were on track to achieve our full-year 2017 goal of $350 million in cost savings through our continuous improvement program, which we expect will fund a significant portion of our 2017 business and technology investments, including our Retail branch strategy, enhanced digital capabilities and our home lending transformation.

Effective Income Tax Rate

The effective income tax rate was 26.0% in the second quarter of 2017 compared to 24.3% in the second quarter of 2016 and 24.5% in the first six months of 2017 compared to 23.9% in the same period of 2016. The increases in both comparisons were primarily related to higher pretax earnings, and in the year-to-date comparison, partially offset by the impact of higher tax deductions related to stock-based compensation in the first quarter of 2017.

The summarized balance sheet data in Table 5 is based upon our Consolidated Balance Sheet in Part 1, Item 1 of this Report.

Our balance sheet was strong and well positioned at both June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

   

Total assets increased as loan growth was partially offset by lower deposits held with the Federal Reserve Bank;

   

Total liabilities increased due to higher borrowed funds and deposit growth;

   

Total equity decreased due to a decline in noncontrolling interests related to the redemption of Perpetual Trust Securities in the first quarter of 2017.

The following discussion provides additional information about the major components of our balance sheet. Information regarding our capital and regulatory compliance is included in the Liquidity and Capital Management portion of the Risk Management section of this Financial Review and in Note 18 Regulatory Matters in the Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements included in our 2016 Form 10-K.

Growth in commercial lending was broad based across our lending businesses and included the acquisition of a commercial and vendor finance business with $1.0 billion of loans and leases. Lower consumer lending was driven by declines in home equity and education loans, partially offset by higher residential real estate loans. The decreases in home equity and education reflected runoff in the non-strategic brokered home equity and government guaranteed education loan portfolios.

Investment securities increased $.5 billion at June 30, 2017 compared to December 31, 2016. Growth in investment securities was driven by net purchases of agency residential mortgage-backed securities, largely offset by declines in commercial mortgage-backed securities.

Table 7 presents the distribution of our investment securities portfolio by credit rating. We have included credit ratings information because we believe that the information is an indicator of the degree of credit risk to which we are exposed, which could affect our risk-weighted assets and, therefore, our risk-based regulatory capital ratios under the regulatory capital rules. Changes in credit ratings classifications could indicate increased or decreased credit risk and could be accompanied by a reduction or increase in the fair value of our investment securities portfolio.

At least quarterly, we conduct a comprehensive security-level impairment assessment on all securities. If economic conditions, including home prices, were to deteriorate from current levels, and if market volatility and liquidity were to deteriorate from current levels, or if market interest rates were to increase or credit spreads were to widen appreciably, the valuation of our investment securities portfolio would likely be adversely affected and we could incur additional OTTI credit losses that would impact our Consolidated Income Statement.

 

The duration of investment securities was 3.3 years at June 30, 2017. We estimate that at June 30, 2017 the effective duration of investment securities was 3.5 years for an immediate 50 basis points parallel increase in interest rates and 3.1 years for an immediate 50 basis points parallel decrease in interest rates.

Based on expected prepayment speeds, the weighted-average expected maturity of the investment securities portfolio (excluding corporate stock and other) was 5.0 years at both June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

Growth in total deposits was driven by higher consumer savings deposits, partially offset by lower money market deposits and a seasonal decline in commercial demand deposits. The overall increase in savings deposits reflected in part a shift from money market deposits to relationship-based savings products.

The increase in total borrowed funds reflected net increases in bank notes and senior debt and FHLB borrowings, as new issuances outpaced maturities and calls. These increases were partially offset by subordinated debt maturities.

Shareholders’ Equity

Total shareholders’ equity as of June 30, 2017 increased $.4 billion compared to December 31, 2016. Increased retained earnings, driven by net income of $2.2 billion partially offset by $.7 billion of common and preferred dividends, was largely offset by common share repurchases of $1.3 billion.

Common shares outstanding were 480 million at June 30, 2017 and 485 million at December 31, 2016, as repurchases of 10.7 million shares during the period were partially offset by share issuances from treasury stock related to warrants exercised and stock-based compensation activity.

BUSINESS SEGMENTS REVIEW

Effective for the first quarter of 2017, as a result of changes to how we manage our businesses, we realigned our segments and, accordingly, have changed the basis of presentation of our segments, resulting in four reportable business segments:

   

Retail Banking

   

Corporate & Institutional Banking

   

Asset Management Group

   

BlackRock

Our changes in business segment presentation resulting from the realignment included the following:

   

The Residential Mortgage Banking segment was combined into Retail Banking as a result of our strategic initiative to transform the home lending process by integrating mortgage and home equity lending to enhance product capability and speed of delivery for a better customer experience and to improve efficiency. In conjunction with this shift, residential mortgages previously reported within the “Other” category were also moved to Retail Banking.

   

The Non-Strategic Assets Portfolio segment was eliminated. The segment’s remaining consumer assets were moved to the “Other” category as they are unrelated to the ongoing strategy of any segment, while its commercial assets were transferred to Corporate & Institutional Banking in order to continue the relationships we have with those customers.

   

A portion of business banking clients was moved from Retail Banking to Corporate & Institutional Banking to facilitate enhanced product offerings to meet the financial needs of our business banking clients.

Net interest income in business segment results reflects our internal funds transfer pricing methodology. Assets receive a funding charge and liabilities and capital receive a funding credit based on a transfer pricing methodology that incorporates product repricing characteristics, tenor and other factors. Effective for the first quarter of 2017, we made certain adjustments to our internal funds transfer pricing methodology primarily relating to weighted average lives of certain non-maturity deposits based on our recent historical experience. These changes in methodology affected business segment results, primarily adversely impacting net interest income for Corporate & Institutional Banking and Retail Banking, offset by increased net interest income in the “Other” category.

The prior period presented was revised to conform to the new segment alignment and to our change in internal funds transfer pricing methodology.

Business segment results and a description of each business are included in Note 14 Segment Reporting included in the Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements in this Report. Certain amounts included in this Business Segments Review differ from those amounts shown in Note 14, primarily due to the presentation in this Financial Review of business net interest revenue on a taxable-equivalent basis.

Total business segment financial results differ from total consolidated net income. The impact of these differences is reflected in the “Other” category in the business segment tables. “Other” includes residual activities that do not meet the criteria for disclosure as a separate reportable business, such as gains or losses related to BlackRock transactions, integration costs, asset and liability management activities including net securities gains or losses, other-than-temporary impairment of investment securities and certain trading activities, exited businesses, certain non-strategic runoff consumer loan portfolios, private equity investments, intercompany eliminations, most corporate overhead, tax adjustments that are not allocated to business segments and differences between business segment performance reporting and financial statement reporting (GAAP), including the presentation of net income attributable to noncontrolling interests as the segments’ results exclude their portion of net income attributable to noncontrolling interests.

14    The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. – Form 10-Q


Retail Banking earned $443 million in the first six months of 2017 compared with $571 million for the same period in 2016. The decrease in earnings was driven by lower noninterest income and increased noninterest expense.

Noninterest income declined in the comparison due to the impact of 2016 net gains on sales of Visa Class B common shares and lower residential mortgage loan sales revenue, partially offset by higher service charges on deposits and debit card revenue.

The increase in noninterest expense in the comparison primarily resulted from investments in technology, higher personnel expense, and the impact of lower 2016 residential mortgage foreclosure-related expenses which included reserve releases.

Retail Banking continues to enhance the customer experience with refinements to product offerings that drive product value for consumers and small businesses. We are focused on meeting the financial needs of our customers by providing a broad range of liquidity, banking and investment products.

The deposit strategy of Retail Banking is to remain disciplined on pricing and focused on growing and retaining relationship-based balances, executing on market-specific deposit growth strategies and providing a source of low-cost funding and liquidity to PNC. In the first six months of 2017, average total deposits increased compared to the same period a year ago, driven by growth in savings deposits reflecting in part a shift from money market deposits to relationship-based savings products. Additionally, demand deposits increased, partially offset by a decline in certificates of deposit due to the net runoff of maturing accounts.

Retail Banking continued to focus on a relationship-based lending strategy. Average total loans increased in the comparison due to increases in residential mortgage and automobile loans partially offset by declines in home equity and commercial loans, as well as runoff of certain portfolios, as more fully described below.

   

Average residential mortgages increased as a result of new volumes exceeding portfolio liquidations.

   

Average automobile loans increased primarily due to portfolio growth in previously underpenetrated markets.

   

Average credit card balances increased as a result of organic growth as we continue to focus on delivering on our long-term objective of deepening penetration within our existing customer base.

   

Average home equity loans decreased as pay-downs and payoffs on loans exceeded new originated volume. Retail Banking’s home equity loan portfolio is relationship based, with 98% of the portfolio attributable to borrowers in our primary geographic footprint. The weighted-average updated FICO scores for this portfolio were 748 at June 30, 2017 and 746 at December 31, 2016.

   

Average commercial and commercial real estate loans declined as pay-downs and payoffs on loans exceeded new volume.

   

In the first six months of 2017, average loan balances for the education and other loan portfolios decreased $783 million, or 10%, compared to same period in 2016, driven by declines in the government guaranteed education and indirect other portfolios, which are primarily runoff portfolios.

Nonperforming assets decreased compared to June 30, 2016 due to declines in both consumer and commercial nonperforming loans.

Retail Banking also continued to focus on the strategic priority of transforming the customer experience through transaction migration, branch network transformation, lending transformation and multi-channel engagement and service strategies.

   

In the first six months of 2017, approximately 61% of consumer customers used non-teller channels for the majority of their transactions compared with 57% for the same period a year ago.

   

Deposit transactions via ATM and mobile channels increased to 52% of total deposit transactions in the first six months of 2017 compared with 48% for the same period in 2016.

   

We had a network of 2,481 branches and 8,972 ATMs at June 30, 2017. Approximately 21% of the branch network operates under the universal model.

   

Instant debit card issuance, which enables us to print a customer’s debit card in minutes, was available in 89% of the branch network as of June 30, 2017.

   

Mortgage loan originations for the first six months of 2017 were down 9% compared to the same period in 2016. Loans continue to be originated primarily through direct channels under Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA), Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC) and Federal Housing Administration (FHA)/Department of Veterans Affairs agency guidelines.

(a) As of June 30.
(b) Represents loans serviced for PNC and others.
(c) Represents consolidated amounts. See the additional revenue discussion regarding treasury management, capital markets-related products and services, and commercial mortgage banking activities in the Product Revenue section of the Corporate & Institutional Banking portion of this Business Segments Review section.
(d) Includes amounts reported in net interest income and noninterest income, predominantly in corporate service fees.
(e) Includes other noninterest income for valuations on commercial mortgage loans held for sale and related commitments, derivative valuations, origination fees, gains on sale of loans held for sale and net interest income on loans held for sale.
(f) Includes net interest income and noninterest income (primarily in corporate services fees) from loan servicing net of reduction in commercial mortgage servicing rights due to time decay and payoffs. Commercial mortgage servicing rights valuation, net of economic hedge is shown separately.
(g) Amounts reported in corporate service fees.
(h) Includes nonperforming loans of $.5 billion at June 30, 2017 and $.7 billion at June 30, 2016.

 

Corporate & Institutional Banking earned $1.0 billion in the first six months of 2017 compared to $855 million for the same period in 2016. The increase of $147 million, or 17%, was primarily due to higher revenue and a decrease in the provision for credit losses, partially offset by higher noninterest expense. We continue to focus on building client relationships where the risk-return profile is attractive.

Net interest income increased in the comparison, reflecting higher average loan balances as well as interest rate spread expansion on deposits.

Growth in noninterest income in the comparison was primarily driven by higher merger and acquisition advisory fees and other capital markets-related revenue, including higher revenue from credit valuations on customer-related derivative activities and increased loan syndication fees, and higher treasury management fees.

The decrease in provision for credit losses in the comparison reflected lower provision for certain energy related loans in the oil, gas and coal sectors, partially offset by an initial provision for a loan and lease portfolio obtained through the acquisition of a commercial and vendor finance business in the second quarter of 2017.

Noninterest expense increased in the comparison largely driven by higher variable compensation commensurate with increased business activity, operating expense related to the acquired business and investments in technology and infrastructure.

Average loans increased in the comparison due to broad growth across many of our businesses:

   

Corporate Banking provides lending, treasury management and capital markets-related products and services to midsized and large corporations, government and not-for-profit entities. Average loans for this business grew in the comparison reflecting increased lending to large corporate and middle market clients and strong production in specialty lending verticals.

   

PNC Real Estate provides banking, financing and servicing solutions for commercial real estate clients across the country. Higher average loans for this business were primarily due to growth in commercial real estate, both mortgage and project loans, as well as commercial loans.

   

PNC Business Credit provides asset-based lending. The loan portfolio is relatively high yielding, with acceptable risk as the loans are mainly secured by more liquid assets. Average loans for this business increased in the comparison as new originations and a slight increase in utilization were partially offset by payoffs.

   

PNC Equipment Finance provides equipment financing solutions for clients throughout the U.S. and Canada. Average loans, including commercial loans and finance leases, and operating leases were $13.8 billion in the first six months of 2017, an increase of $1.4 billion in the year-over-year comparison due to strong new production and the loan and lease portfolio obtained through our business acquisition.

   

Commercial Banking provides lending, treasury management and capital markets-related products and services to smaller corporations and businesses. Average loans for this business decreased in the comparison primarily due to the impact of capital management activities in 2016.

Growth in the commercial loan servicing portfolio was driven by servicing additions from new and existing customers exceeding portfolio runoff.

Product Revenue

In addition to credit and deposit products for commercial customers, Corporate & Institutional Banking offers other services, including treasury management, capital markets-related 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, corporate service fees and other noninterest income. From a segment perspective, the majority of the revenue and expense related to these services is reflected in the Corporate & Institutional Banking segment results and the remainder is reflected in the results of other businesses. The Other Information section in Table 11 includes the consolidated revenue to PNC for these services. A discussion of the consolidated revenue from these services follows.

Treasury management revenue comprises fees and net interest income from customer deposit balances. Compared with the first six months of 2016, treasury management revenue increased due to liquidity-related revenue associated with customer deposit balances, including interest rate spread expansion, and higher fee income.

Capital markets-related products and services include foreign exchange, derivatives, securities, loan syndications, mergers and acquisitions advisory and equity capital markets advisory related services. Revenue from capital markets-related products and services increased in the comparison primarily due to higher merger and acquisition advisory fees, higher revenue from credit valuations on customer-related derivative activities and increased loan syndication fees.

Commercial mortgage banking activities include revenue derived from commercial mortgage servicing (including net interest income and noninterest income) and revenue derived from commercial mortgage loans held for sale and related hedges. Total revenue from commercial mortgage banking activities increased slightly in the comparison as a higher benefit from commercial mortgage servicing rights valuation, net of economic hedge, was mostly offset by a decline in commercial mortgage loan servicing income.

(d) Effective for the first quarter of 2017, we have adjusted nondiscretionary client assets under administration for prior periods to remove assets which, as a result of certain investment advisory services performed by one of our registered investment advisors, were previously reported as both discretionary client assets under management and nondiscretionary client assets under administration. Effective for the first quarter of 2017, these amounts are only reported as discretionary assets under management. The prior period presented was adjusted to remove approximately $9 billion as of June 30, 2016 previously included in nondiscretionary assets under administration. In addition, effective for the first quarter of 2017, we have refined our methodologies for allocating discretionary client assets under management by asset type. As a result, we have updated the presentation of discretionary client assets under management by asset type for the prior period presented.

 

Asset Management Group earned $99 million through the first six months of 2017 compared with earnings of $97 million for the first six months of 2016. Earnings increased as higher revenue and lower provision for credit losses was mostly offset by higher noninterest expense.

The increase in revenue in the comparison was driven by higher noninterest income due to stronger average equity markets. This increase was partially offset by lower net interest income due to lower average loan balances and interest rate spread compression within the loan portfolio.

The decrease in provision for credit losses in the comparison reflected lower provision on the consumer loan portfolio due to improved credit quality.

Noninterest expense increased in the first six months of 2017 compared to the prior year primarily attributable to higher compensation and technology expenses. Asset Management Group remains focused on disciplined expense management as it invests in strategic growth opportunities.

Asset Management Group’s strategy is focused on growing investable assets by continually evolving the client experience and products and services. The business offers an open architecture platform with a full array of investment products and banking solutions.

Wealth Management and Hawthorn have nearly 100 offices operating in seven out of the ten most affluent states in the U.S. with a majority co-located with retail banking branches. The businesses provide customized investments, wealth planning, trust and estate administration and private banking solutions to affluent individuals and ultra-affluent families.

Institutional Asset Management provides advisory, custody and retirement administration services to institutional clients such as corporations, unions, municipalities, non-profits, foundations and endowments. The business also offers PNC proprietary mutual funds and investment strategies. Institutional Asset Management is strengthening its partnership with Corporate & Institutional Banking to drive growth and is focused on building retirement capabilities and expanding product solutions for all customers.

Asset Management Group’s discretionary client assets under management increased in the comparison to the prior year, primarily attributable to higher equity markets as of June 30, 2017 and net business growth.

Nonperforming Assets and Loan Delinquencies

Nonperforming Assets

Nonperforming assets include nonperforming loans and leases for which ultimate collectability of the full amount of contractual principal and interest is not probable and include nonperforming troubled debt restructurings (TDRs), other real estate owned (OREO), foreclosed and other assets. Loans held for sale, certain government insured or guaranteed loans, purchased impaired loans and loans accounted for under the fair value option are excluded from nonperforming loans. Additional information regarding our nonperforming loans and nonaccrual policies is included in Note 1 Accounting Policies in the Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2016 Form 10-K. A summary of the major categories of nonperforming assets are presented in Table 14. See Note 3 Asset Quality in the Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements in this Report for further detail of nonperforming asset categories.

As of June 30, 2017, approximately 85% of total nonperforming loans were secured by collateral which lessened reserve requirements and is expected to reduce credit losses in the event of default. As of June 30, 2017, commercial lending nonperforming loans were carried at approximately 53% of their unpaid principal balance, due to charge-offs recorded to date, before consideration of the ALLL.

Within consumer nonperforming loans, residential real estate TDRs comprise 75% of total residential real estate nonperforming loans at June 30, 2017, up from 70% at December 31, 2016. Home equity TDRs comprise 50% of home equity nonperforming loans at June 30, 2017 and 52% at December 31, 2016. TDRs generally remain in nonperforming status until a borrower has made at least six consecutive months of both principal and interest payments under the modified terms or ultimate resolution occurs. Loans where borrowers have been discharged from personal liability through Chapter 7 bankruptcy and have not formally reaffirmed their loan obligations to us and loans to borrowers not currently obligated to make both principal and interest payments under the restructured terms are not returned to accrual status.

At June 30, 2017, our largest nonperforming asset was $45 million in the Mining, Quarrying and Oil and Gas Extraction Industry and our average nonperforming loan associated with commercial lending was less than $1 million. The ten largest individual nonperforming assets were from the commercial lending portfolio and represented 42% and 12% of total commercial lending nonperforming loans and total nonperforming assets, respectively, as of June 30, 2017.

Loan Delinquencies

We regularly monitor the level of loan delinquencies and believe these levels may be a key indicator of loan portfolio asset quality. Measurement of delinquency status is based on the contractual terms of each loan. Loans that are 30 days or more past due in terms of payment are considered delinquent. Loan delinquencies exclude loans held for sale and purchased impaired loans, but include government insured or guaranteed loans and loans accounted for under the fair value option.

(a) Past due loan amounts include government insured or guaranteed loans of $.8 billion at June 30, 2017 and $.9 billion at December 31, 2016.

 

Accruing loans past due 90 days or more decreased at June 30, 2017 compared to December 31, 2016 primarily driven by declines in government insured residential real estate, and government insured education loans within other consumer. Accruing loans past due 90 days or more are not included in nonperforming loans and continue to accrue interest because they are well secured by collateral and are in the process of collection, or are managed in homogeneous portfolios with specified charge-off timeframes adhering to regulatory guidelines, or are certain government insured or guaranteed loans.

Home Equity and Auto Loan Portfolios

Home Equity Loan Portfolio

Our home equity loan portfolio totaled $29.2 billion as of June 30, 2017, or 13% of the total loan portfolio. Of that total, $17.2 billion, or 59%, were outstanding under primarily variable-rate home equity lines of credit and $12.0 billion, or 41%, consisted of closed-end home equity installment loans. Approximately 3% of the home equity portfolio was purchased impaired and 3% of the home equity portfolio was on nonperforming status as of June 30, 2017.

As of June 30, 2017, we were in an originated first lien position for approximately 58% of the total outstanding portfolio and, where originated as a second lien, we held and serviced the first lien position for an additional 1% of the portfolio. The remaining 41% of the portfolio was secured by second liens where we do not hold the first lien position. The credit performance of the majority of the home equity portfolio where we are in, hold or service 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 based upon original LTV at the time of origination. We use an industry-leading third-party service provider to obtain updated loan, lien and collateral data that is aggregated from public and private sources.

We track borrower performance monthly, including obtaining original LTVs and updated FICO scores at least quarterly, updated LTVs at least semi-annually, and other credit metrics

at least quarterly, including the historical performance of any mortgage loans regardless of lien position that we do or do not hold. This information is used for internal reporting and risk management. For internal reporting and risk management we also segment the population into pools based on product type (e.g., home equity loans, brokered home equity loans, home equity lines of credit, brokered home equity lines of credit). As part of our overall risk analysis and monitoring, we segment the home equity portfolio based upon the loan delinquency, modification status and bankruptcy status, as well as the delinquency, modification status and bankruptcy status of any mortgage loan with the same borrower (regardless of whether it is a first lien senior to our second lien).

In establishing our ALLL for non-impaired loans, we utilize a delinquency roll-rate methodology for pools of loans. The roll-rate methodology estimates transition/roll of loan balances from one delinquency state to the next delinquency state and ultimately to charge-off. The roll through to charge-off is based on our actual loss experience for each type of pool. Each of our home equity pools contains both first and second liens. Our experience has been that the ratio of first to second lien loans has been consistent over time and the charge-off amounts for the pools, used to establish our allowance, include losses on both first and second lien loans.

Generally, our variable-rate home equity lines of credit have either a seven or ten year draw period, followed by a 20-year amortization term. During the draw period, we have home equity lines of credit where borrowers pay either interest only or principal and interest. We view home equity lines of credit where borrowers are paying principal and interest under the draw period as less risky than those where the borrowers are paying interest only, as these borrowers have a demonstrated ability to make some level of principal and interest payments. The risk associated with the borrower’s ability to satisfy the loan terms upon the draw period ending is considered in establishing our ALLL. Based upon outstanding balances at June 30, 2017, the following table presents the periods when home equity lines of credit draw periods are scheduled to end.

(b) Includes home equity lines of credit with balloon payments, including those where we have terminated borrowing privileges, of $15 million, $22 million, $17 million, $67 million, $61 million and $329 million with draw periods scheduled to end in the remainder of 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022 and thereafter, respectively.

Based upon outstanding balances, and excluding purchased impaired loans, at June 30, 2017, for home equity lines of credit for which the borrower can no longer draw (e.g., draw period has ended or borrowing privileges have been terminated), approximately 3% were 30-89 days past due and approximately 6% were 90 days or more past due, which are accounted for as nonperforming. Generally, when a borrower becomes 60 days past due, we terminate borrowing privileges and those privileges are not subsequently reinstated. At that point, we continue our collection/recovery processes, which may include loan modification resulting in a loan that is classified as a TDR.

Auto Loan Portfolio

The auto loan portfolio totaled $12.5 billion as of June 30, 2017, or 6% of our total loan portfolio. Of that total, $11.0 billion resides in the indirect auto portfolio, $1.3 billion in the direct auto portfolio and $.2 billion in securitized portfolios. Indirect auto loan applications are generated from franchised automobile dealers. This business is strategically aligned with our core retail business.

We have elected not to pursue non-prime auto lending. Our average new loan origination FICO score over the last twelve months was 754 for indirect auto loans and 770 for direct auto loans. As of June 30, 2017, .5% of our auto loan portfolio was nonperforming and .5% of the portfolio was accruing past due. We offer both new and used automobile financing to customers through our various channels. The portfolio was composed of 55% new vehicle loans and 45% used vehicle loans at June 30, 2017.

The auto loan portfolio’s performance is measured monthly, including updated collateral values that are obtained monthly and updated 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 loan structure, collateral attributes and credit metrics which include FICO score, loan-to-value and term.

Loan Modifications and Troubled Debt Restructurings

Consumer Loan Modifications

We modify loans under government and PNC-developed programs based upon our commitment to help eligible homeowners and borrowers avoid foreclosure, where appropriate. Initially, a borrower is evaluated for a modification under a government program. If a borrower does not qualify under a government program, the borrower is then evaluated under a PNC program. Our programs utilize both temporary and permanent modifications and typically reduce the interest rate, extend the term and/or defer principal. Loans that are either temporarily or permanently modified under programs involving a change to loan terms are generally classified as TDRs. Further, loans that have certain types of payment plans and trial payment arrangements which do not include a contractual change to loan terms may be classified as TDRs.

A temporary modification, with a term between three and 24 months, involves a change in original loan terms for a period of time and reverts to a calculated exit rate for the remaining term of the loan as of a specific date. A permanent modification, with a term greater than 24 months, is a modification in which the terms of the original loan are changed. Permanent modification programs generally result in principal forgiveness, interest rate reduction, term extension, capitalization of past due amounts, interest-only period or deferral of principal.

We also monitor the success rates and delinquency status of our loan modification programs to assess their effectiveness in serving our borrowers’ and servicing customers’ needs while mitigating credit losses. Table 18 provides the number of accounts and unpaid principal balance of modified consumer real estate related loans at the end of each year presented.

Commercial Loan Modifications

Modifications of terms for commercial loans are based on individual facts and circumstances. Commercial loan modifications may involve reduction of the interest rate, extension of the loan term and/or forgiveness of principal. Modified commercial loans are usually already nonperforming prior to modification. We evaluate these modifications for TDR classification based upon whether we granted a concession to a borrower experiencing financial difficulties.

Troubled Debt Restructurings

A TDR is a loan whose terms have been restructured in a manner that grants a concession to a borrower experiencing financial difficulties. TDRs result from our loss mitigation activities and include rate reductions, principal forgiveness, postponement/reduction of scheduled amortization and extensions, which are intended to minimize economic loss and to avoid foreclosure or repossession of collateral. Additionally, TDRs also result from court imposed concessions (e.g., a Chapter 7 bankruptcy where the debtor is discharged from personal liability to us and a court approved Chapter 13 bankruptcy repayment plan).

(b) Accruing loans include consumer credit card loans and loans that have demonstrated a period of at least six months of performance under the restructured terms and are excluded from nonperforming loans.

Excluded from TDRs are $1.2 billion of consumer loans held for sale, loans accounted for under the fair value option and pooled purchased impaired loans, as well as certain government insured or guaranteed loans at both June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. Nonperforming TDRs represented approximately 54% and 52% of total nonperforming loans and 48% and 50% of total TDRs at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. The remaining portion of TDRs represents TDRs that have been returned to accrual accounting after performing under the restructured terms for at least six consecutive months.

Allowances for Loan and Lease Losses and Unfunded Loan Commitments and Letters of Credit

We maintain an ALLL to absorb losses from the loan and lease portfolio and determine this allowance based on quarterly assessments of the estimated probable credit losses incurred in the loan and lease portfolio. Our total ALLL of $2.6 billion at June 30, 2017 consisted of $1.6 billion and $1.0 billion established for the commercial lending and consumer lending categories, respectively. We maintain the ALLL at a level that we believe to be appropriate to absorb estimated probable credit losses incurred in the loan and lease portfolio as of the balance sheet date. The reserve calculation and determination process is dependent on the use of key assumptions. Key reserve assumptions and estimation processes react to and are influenced by observed changes in

loan and lease portfolio performance experience, the financial strength of the borrower and economic conditions. Key reserve assumptions are periodically updated.

We establish specific allowances for loans considered
