2 DRAFT Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information and Adjusted Information This presentation includes “snapshot” information about PNC used by way of illustration. It is not intended as a full business or financial review and should be viewed in the context of all of the information made available by PNC in its SEC filings. The presentation also contains forward-looking statements regarding our outlook for earnings, revenues, expenses, capital levels and ratios, liquidity levels, asset levels, asset quality, financial position, and other matters regarding or affecting PNC and its future business and operations. Forward-looking statements are necessarily subject to numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties, which change over time. The forward-looking statements in this presentation are qualified by the factors affecting forward-looking statements identified in the more detailed Cautionary Statement included in the Appendix, which is included in the version of the presentation materials posted on our corporate website at www.pnc.com/investorevents, and in our SEC filings. We provide greater detail regarding these as well as other factors in our 2011 Form 10-K, as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto, and 2012 Form 10-Qs, including in the Risk Factors and Risk Management sections and in the Legal Proceedings and Commitments and Guarantees Notes of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in those reports, and in our subsequent SEC filings. Our forward-looking statements may also be subject to other risks and uncertainties, including those we may discuss in this presentation or in SEC filings, accessible on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov and on PNC’s corporate website at www.pnc.com/secfilings. We have included web addresses in this presentation as inactive textual references only. Information on these websites is not part of this presentation. 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 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. Actual results or future events could differ, possibly materially, from those anticipated in forward-looking statements, as well as from historical performance. In this presentation, we may sometimes refer to adjusted results to help illustrate the impact of certain types of items, such as provisions for residential mortgage repurchase obligations, non-cash charges related to redemptions of trust preferred securities, expenses for residential mortgage foreclosure-related matters, integration costs, and legal, mortgage foreclosure-related and OREO costs. This information supplements our results as reported in accordance with GAAP and should not be viewed in isolation from, or as a substitute for, our GAAP results. We believe that this additional information and the reconciliations we provide may be useful to investors, analysts, regulators and others as they evaluate the impact of these respective items on our results for the periods presented due to the extent to which the items may not be indicative of our ongoing operations. We may also provide information on the components of net interest income (purchase accounting accretion and the core remainder) and the impact of purchase accounting accretion on net interest margin, and information on return on average tangible common equity. We believe that core net interest margin (net interest margin less (annualized purchase accounting accretion divided by average interest-earning assets)), a non-GAAP measure, is useful as a tool to help evaluate the impact of purchase accounting accretion on net interest margin. And we believe that return on average tangible common equity (calculated as annualized net income attributable to common shareholders divided by (average common shareholders’ equity less total intangible assets, other than servicing rights)), a non-GAAP measure, is useful as a tool to help measure and assess a company’s use of common equity. And we believe that tangible book value per share, a non-GAAP measure, is useful as a tool to help to better evaluate growth of the company’s business apart from the amount, on a per share basis, of intangible assets other than servicing rights included in book value. Where applicable, we provide GAAP reconciliations for such additional information, including in the slides, the Appendix and/or other slides and materials on our corporate website at www.pnc.com/investorevents and in our SEC filings. In certain discussions, we may also provide information on yields and margins for all interest-earning assets calculated using net 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. We believe this adjustment may be useful when comparing yields and margins for all earning assets. We may also use annualized, proforma, estimated or third party numbers for illustrative or comparative purposes only. These may not reflect actual results. This presentation may also include discussion of other non-GAAP financial measures, which, to the extent not so qualified therein or in the Appendix, is qualified by GAAP reconciliation information available on our corporate website at www.pnc.com under “About PNC–Investor Relations.” |
