This presentation contains forward-looking statements regarding our outlook or expectations relating to PNC’s future business, operations, financial condition, financial performance and asset quality. Forward-looking statements are necessarily subject to numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties, which change over time. The forward-looking statements in this presentation are qualified by the factors affecting forward-looking statements identified in the more detailed Cautionary Statement included in the Appendix, which is in the version of the presentation materials posted on our corporate website at www.pnc.com under “About PNC – Investor Relations.” We provide greater detail regarding those factors in our 2005 Form 10-K, including in the Risk Factors and Risk Management sections, and in our 2006 Form 10-Qs and other SEC reports (accessible on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov and on or through our corporate website). Future events or circumstances may change our outlook or expectations and may also affect the nature of the assumptions, risks and uncertainties to which our forward-looking statements are subject. The forward- looking statements in this presentation speak only as of the date of this presentation. We do not assume any duty and do not undertake to update those statements. In this presentation, we will sometimes refer to adjusted results to help illustrate (1) the impact of BlackRock deconsolidation near the end of third quarter 2006 and the application of the equity method accounting for our investment in BlackRock and (2) the impact of certain significant 2006 items due to the magnitude of the aggregate of these items. These items include the BlackRock/MLIM transaction gain and integration costs and the costs of balance sheet repositionings that we have disclosed earlier. We provide details of the adjustments in the Appendix. While we have not provided other adjustments for the periods discussed, this is not intended to imply that there could not have been other similar types of adjustments, but any such adjustments would not have been similar in magnitude to the amount of the adjustments shown. This presentation may also include a discussion of non-GAAP financial measures, which, to the extent not so qualified therein or in the Appendix, is qualified by GAAP reconciliation information available on our corporate website at www.pnc.com under “About PNC - Investor Relations.” Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information |
