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 Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the Report or Form 10-Q) and with Items 6, 7, 8 and 9A of our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K (2018 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 2018 Form 10-K; Item 1A Risk Factors included in our 2018 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 2018 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 2018 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 (except when referring to PNC as a public company, its common stock or other securities issued by PNC, which just refer to The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc.).

(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)
Net interest margin is the total yield on interest-earning assets minus the total rate on interest-bearing liabilities and includes the benefit from use of noninterest-bearing sources. To provide more meaningful comparisons of net interest margins, we use net interest income on a taxable-equivalent basis in calculating average yields used in the calculation of 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 GAAP in the Consolidated Income Statement. For additional information, see Reconciliation of Taxable-Equivalent Net Interest Income (Non-GAAP) in the Statistical Information (Unaudited) section in Item 1 of this Report.

For additional information, see the Supervision and Regulation section in Item 1 Business of our 2018 Form 10-K.
Business Outlook
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 view that:
•
U.S. economic growth, after accelerating a few years ago, has slowed since mid-2018 and is expected to slow further through the rest of this year and into 2020.
•
Job growth will continue into 2020, but at a slower pace due to both difficulty in finding workers and slower economic growth. The unemployment rate is expected to increase slightly in the near term, but the labor market will remain tight, pushing wages higher and supporting continued gains in consumer spending.
•
Slower global economic growth, trade restrictions and geopolitical concerns are downside risks to the forecast, which have increased in 2019, and risks are weighted to the downside.
•
Inflation has slowed in 2019, to below the Federal Open Market Committee's (FOMC's) 2% objective, but is expected to gradually increase over the next two years.
•
Our baseline forecast includes the 0.25% federal funds rate cut on October 30, 2019. We expect the funds rate to remain in a range of 1.50% to 1.75% through the rest of 2019.
For the fourth quarter of 2019 compared to the third quarter of 2019, we expect:
•
Average loans to be up approximately 1%;
•
Net interest income to be down approximately 1%;
•
Fee income to be stable to up 1%. Fee income consists of asset management, consumer services, corporate services, residential mortgage and service charges on deposits;
•
Other noninterest income to be in the range of $300 million to $350 million, excluding net securities gains (losses) and activity related to Visa Class B common shares;
•
Provision for credit losses to be between $175 million and $225 million; and
•
Noninterest expense to be up approximately 1%.
For the full year 2019, we expect the effective tax rate to be approximately 17%.

See the Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information section in this Financial Review and Item 1A Risk Factors in our 2018 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
Our Consolidated Income Statement is presented in Part I, Item 1 of this Report.
Net income for the third quarter of 2019 was $1.4 billion, or $2.94 per diluted common share, a decrease of $8 million, or 1%, compared to $1.4 billion, or $2.82 per diluted common share, for the third quarter of 2018.For the first nine months of 2019, net income was $4.0 billion, or $8.42 per diluted common share, an increase of $42 million, or 1%, compared to $4.0 billion, or $7.96 per diluted common share, for the first nine months of 2018.
Net income decreased slightly compared to the third quarter of 2018 as a result of higher provision for credit losses and noninterest expense, partially offset by increases in noninterest income and net interest income. Net income increased compared to the first nine months of 2018 driven by higher net interest income and noninterest income, partially offset by increases in provision for credit losses and 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
The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. – Form 10-Q5
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 Reconciliation of Taxable-Equivalent Net Interest Income (Non-GAAP) in the Statistical Information (Unaudited) section in Item 1 of this Report.
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$38 million, or 2%, and $237 million, or 3%, for the third quarter and first nine months of 2019, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2018. The increase in both comparisons reflected higher loan and securities balances and higher loan yields, partially offset by higher deposit and borrowing costs and balances. Net interest margin in both comparisons decreased as higher loan yields were more than offset by higher deposit costs.
Average investment securities increased$4.4 billion, or 5%, in the quarterly comparison and $6.1 billion, or 8% in the year-to-date comparison. Both increases were due to net purchase activity of agency residential mortgage-backed securities, U.S. Treasury and government agency securities and commercial mortgage-backed securities, partially offset by lower non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities and other securities.
Average investment securities represented 24% of average interest-earning assets for all periods presented.
Average loans grew $14.3 billion, or 6%, and $11.3 billion, or 5%, in the quarterly and year-to-date comparisons, respectively. Loan growth was driven by increases in commercial lending of $11.5 billion, or 8%, and $9.5 billion, or 6%, in the respective comparisons, reflecting broad-based growth primarily in the Corporate Banking and Business Credit businesses in our Corporate & Institutional Banking segment.
Average consumer lending increased $2.8 billion, or 4%, and $1.8 billion, or 2%, in the quarterly and year-to-date comparisons, respectively. Growth in residential mortgage, auto, credit card and unsecured installment loans was partially offset by declines in home equity and education loans. Lower home equity loans reflected paydowns and payoffs exceeding new originated volume. In addition, runoff of brokered home equity and government guaranteed education loans contributed to the declines. Average loans represented 67% of average interest-earning assets for the third quarter of 2019 compared to 68% for the third quarter of 2018 and both year-to-date periods.
Average interest-earning deposits with banks decreased $3.5 billion and $7.2 billion in the respective quarterly and year-to-date comparisons, reflecting lower average balances held with the Federal Reserve Bank as investment of liquidity continued.
Average interest-bearing deposits grew $20.6 billion, or 11%, and $16.7 billion, or 9%, in the respective quarterly and year-to-date comparisons, reflecting overall deposit and customer growth. Additionally, the increases reflected a shift of deposits to interest-bearing from noninterest-bearing deposits, which declined $4.0 billion and $4.9 billion in the respective comparisons. Consumer deposit growth from the retail national expansion strategy also contributed to the deposit increases.
Average borrowed funds increased $4.1 billion, or 7%, compared with the third quarter of 2018 primarily due to higher Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) borrowings. Average borrowed funds increased $2.6 billion, or 4%, compared with the first nine months of 2018 primarily due to higher FHLB borrowings and federal funds purchased partially offset by lower bank notes and senior debt.
Further details regarding average loans and deposits are included in the Business Segments Review section of this Financial Review.

Noninterest income to total revenue was 44% for the third quarter of 2019 and 43% for the third quarter of 2018 and first nine months of both 2019 and 2018.
Asset management revenue declined in both periods due to lower earnings from our equity investment in BlackRock and lower yielding assets under management for both periods. PNC's discretionary client assets under management increased to $163 billion at September 30, 2019 compared to $159 billion at September 30, 2018 as a result of increases in equity markets.
Growth in consumer services revenue in both comparisons resulted from higher debit and credit card fees, net of rewards, and higher brokerage fees, reflecting continued momentum in both transaction activity and customer growth.
Corporate services revenue increased in both comparisons due to higher treasury management product revenue, partially offset by lower merger and acquisition advisory fees. The year-to-date comparison also reflected a decrease in loan syndication fees.
Residential mortgage revenue increased in both comparisons due to a higher benefit from residential mortgage servicing rights, net of economic hedge, and higher loan sales revenue from increased origination volumes.
Other noninterest income for the third quarter of 2019 increased over the third quarter of 2018 primarily attributable to higher capital markets-related revenue, the benefit of lower negative Visa Class B derivative fair value adjustments and higher net gains on commercial mortgage loans held for sale partially offset by lower revenue from private equity investments. Other noninterest income increased in the first nine months of 2019 compared to 2018 primarily due to higher gains on asset sales, including the sale of the retirement recordkeeping business in second quarter 2019 and higher net securities gains, partially offset by larger negative derivative fair value adjustments related to Visa Class B common shares and lower revenue from private equity investments.
Provision For Credit Losses
The provision for credit losses increased $95 million to $183 million in the third quarter of 2019 compared to $88 million in the third quarter of 2018 and increased $292 million to $552 million for the first nine months of 2019 compared to the same period in 2018. The increases reflected growth in both the commercial and consumer lending portfolios and included higher reserves for auto and credit card loans.
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.

Noninterest expense increased in both comparisons as investments in support of business growth were reflected in higher equipment and occupancy expense as well as higher marketing expense, which included costs for the retail national expansion strategy. In the third quarter of 2019, personnel expense declined due to lower variable compensation and in both comparisons other expense decreased as a result of lower Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) deposit insurance cost from the elimination of the surcharge assessment.
PNC continued to focus on disciplined expense management, and for full-year 2019 we are on track to achieve our goal of $300 million in cost savings through our continuous improvement program, which will contribute to funding a portion of our technology and business investments.
Effective Income Tax Rate
The effective income tax rate was 17.5% in the third quarter of 2019 compared to 15.7% in the third quarter of 2018 and 16.8% in the first nine months of 2019 compared to 17.0% in the same period of 2018.

The summarized balance sheet data in Table 5 is based upon our Consolidated Balance Sheet in Part I, Item 1 of this Report.
Our balance sheet was strong and well positioned at both September 30,2019 and December 31, 2018.
•
Total assets increased as a result of loan growth, higher interest-earning deposits with banks and higher investment securities;
•
Total liabilities increased due to deposit growth and higher borrowed funds;
•
Total equity increased due to higher retained earnings driven by net income partially offset by share repurchases and common and preferred dividends and as a result of higher accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI).
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 Managementportion of the Risk Management section in this Financial Review and in Note 18 Regulatory Matters in the Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements included in our 2018 Form 10-K.

Commercial loans increased reflecting broad-based growth across our Corporate Banking and Business Credit businesses within our Corporate & Institutional Banking segment. In Corporate Banking, commercial loan growth was primarily driven by asset-backed finance securitizations as well as increased lending to large and mid-size corporate clients. In Business Credit, commercial loans increased as a result of new originations and higher utilization. Commercial real estate loans increased due to higher commercial mortgage balances, partially offset by project loan payoffs.
For commercial loans by industry and commercial real estate loans by geography and property type, see Loan Portfolio Characteristics and Analysis in the Credit Risk Management portion of the Risk Management section in this Financial Review.
Consumer lending balances increased as growth in residential real estate, auto, credit card and other consumer loans was partially offset by lower home equity and education loans.
Residential real estate loans increased primarily from originations of nonconforming loans, which are loans that do not meet government agency standards as a result of exceeding agency conforming loan limits. The growth in auto loans reflected higher indirect auto loans from continued new loan originations and expansion into franchised dealers in new markets as well as growth in direct auto loans. Credit card balances increased as we continued to focus on our long-term objective of deepening penetration within our existing customer base as well as new client acquisition. The growth in other consumer balances due to unsecured installment loans was driven by product enhancements, including a new mobile-optimized digital application.
Home equity loans declined as paydowns and payoffs exceeded new originated volume and brokered home equity loans continued to run off. Education loans declined primarily due to continued runoff of the government guaranteed education loan portfolio.
For information on our home equity and residential real estate portfolios, including loans by geography, and our auto loan portfolio, see Loan Portfolio Characteristics and Analysis in the Credit Risk Management portion of the Risk Management section in this Financial Review.
For additional information regarding our loan portfolio see the Note 3Asset Quality and Note 4Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses in our Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Report, and Note 1Accounting Policies in our 2018 Form 10-K.
Investment Securities
Investment securities of $87.9 billion at September 30, 2019increased$5.2 billion, or 6%, compared to December 31, 2018, driven by net purchases and changes in unrealized gains and losses of agency residential mortgage backed securities of $5.4 billion.
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 Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) and other internal and external guidelines and constraints.

Table 7 presents the distribution of our total investment securities portfolio by amortized cost and fair value, as well as 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
10 The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. – Form 10-Q
current 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.
The duration of investment securities was 2.4 years at September 30, 2019. We estimate that at September 30, 2019 the effective duration of investment securities was 2.5 years for an immediate 50 basis points parallel increase in interest rates and 2.2 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 was 3.8 years at September 30, 2019 compared to 5.3 years at December 31, 2018.

Total deposits increased with growth primarily in interest-bearing deposits, including a shift from noninterest-bearing deposits driven by a higher rate environment in the comparison. The increase in deposits reflected both commercial and consumer deposit growth, including from the retail national expansion strategy which contributed to the increase in savings. Interest-bearing demand deposits at September 30, 2019 included $3.9 billion of balances for a new sweep deposit product for asset management clients previously held off-balance sheet primarily in PNC proprietary money market mutual funds.
Borrowed funds increased due to higher bank notes and senior debt as a result of net issuances in the first nine months of 2019. The increase in other borrowed funds included higher federal funds purchased. The level and composition of borrowed funds fluctuates over time based on many factors including market conditions, loan, investment securities and deposit growth, and capital considerations. We manage our borrowed funds to provide a reliable source of liquidity for our banking and other activities, considering our LCR requirements and other internal and external guidelines and constraints.
See the Liquidity and Capital Management portion of the Risk Management section of this Financial Review for additional information regarding our 2019 liquidity and capital activities.

Shareholders’ Equity
Total shareholders’ equity was $49.4 billion at September 30, 2019, an increase of $1.7 billion compared to December 31, 2018. The increase resulted from net income of $4.0 billion and higher AOCI of $1.6 billion primarily related to net unrealized securities gains, partially offset by common share repurchases of $2.5 billion and common and preferred dividends of $1.6 billion.
Common shares outstanding declined to 439 million at September 30,2019 from 457 million at December 31, 2018 as repurchases of 19.4 million shares during the period were partially offset by stock-based compensation activity.
BUSINESS SEGMENTS REVIEW
We have four reportable business segments:
•
Retail Banking
•
Corporate & Institutional Banking
•
Asset Management Group
•
BlackRock
Business segment results and a description of each business are included in Note 14Segment Reporting 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 income on a taxable-equivalent basis.
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.
Total business segment financial results differ from total consolidated net income. These differences are reflected in the “Other” category as shown in Table 71 in Note 14 Segment Reporting in Item 1 of this Report. “Other” includes residual activities that do not meet the criteria for disclosure as a separate reportable business, such as asset and liability management activities including net securities gains or losses, other-than-temporary impairment of investment securities, certain trading activities, certain runoff consumer loan portfolios, private equity investments, intercompany eliminations, certain corporate overhead, tax adjustments that are not allocated to business segments, gains or losses related to BlackRock transactions, exited businesses, 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.

Retail Banking
Retail Banking's core strategy is to acquire and retain customers who maintain their primary checking and transaction relationships with us. We seek to deepen relationships by meeting the broad range of our customers’ financial needs with savings, liquidity, lending, investment and retirement solutions. A strategic priority for us is to differentiate the customer experience and drive transformation and automation. A key element of our strategy is to expand the use of lower-cost alternative distribution channels, with an emphasis on digital capabilities, while continuing to optimize the traditional branch network. In addition, we have a disciplined process to continually improve the engagement of both our employees and customers, which is a strong driver of customer growth, retention and relationship expansion. In 2018, we launched our national expansion strategy designed to grow customers with digitally-led banking and an ultra-thin branch network in markets outside of our existing retail branch network, and began offering our digital high yield savings deposit product and opened our first solution center.

Retail Banking earned $936 million in the first nine months of 2019 compared with $751 million for the same period in 2018. The increase in earnings was attributable to higher net interest income and noninterest income partially offset by an increase in provision for credit losses and higher noninterest expense.
Net interest income increased primarily due to wider interest rate spreads on the value of deposits as well as growth in deposit and loan balances.
Noninterest income increased largely due to growth in consumer services, including debit and credit card, brokerage, and merchant service fees, and higher residential mortgage revenue attributable to a higher benefit from residential mortgage servicing rights valuation, net of economic hedge, and increased loan sales revenue from higher origination volumes. These increases were partially offset by negative derivative fair value adjustments related to Visa Class B common shares of $55 million compared with negative adjustments of $7 million in the same period of 2018.
14 The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. – Form 10-Q
Provision for credit losses increased in the first nine months of 2019 compared to the same period of 2018 primarily as a result of higher auto loan, unsecured installment loan and credit card portfolio reserves attributed in part to loan growth.
Higher noninterest expense primarily resulted from an increase in ATM expense driven by enhanced checking product benefits, higher equipment expense, and increased marketing activity, including expenses related to our national expansion initiative.
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 nine months of 2019, average total deposits increased compared to the same period in 2018, as both interest-bearing and noninterest-bearing demand deposits increased. Savings deposits increased due, in part, to a shift from money market deposits to relationship-based savings products as well as growth in consumer deposits, including from our national expansion initiative. Certificates of deposit increased reflecting shifts in consumer preferences to time deposits.
Retail Banking average total loans increased in the first nine months of 2019 compared with the same period in 2018.
•
Average residential mortgages increased primarily as a result of growth in nonconforming residential mortgage loans.
•
Average auto loans increased primarily due to strong new indirect auto loan volumes, including in our Southeast and expansion markets, as well as growth in direct auto loans.
•
Average credit card balances increased as we continued to focus on our long-term objective of deepening penetration within our existing customer base as well as new client acquisition.
•
Average home equity loans decreased as paydowns and payoffs on loans exceeded new originated volume.
•
Average education loans decreased driven by a decline in the runoff portfolio of government guaranteed education loans.
Our national expansion initiative launched in 2018. Deposit products are led by a digital high yield savings account. Following the first solution center opening in Kansas City in 2018, three additional solution centers have opened in 2019 with a second in Kansas City and two in the Dallas/Fort Worth market. We also offer digital unsecured installment and small business loans in the expansion markets.
Retail Banking continues to enhance the customer experience with refinements to product and service offerings that drive 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. Retail Banking continued to execute on its strategy of transforming the customer experience through transaction migration, branch network and home lending transformations and multi-channel engagement and service strategies.
•
Approximately 69% of consumer customers used non-teller channels for the majority of their transactions in the first nine months of 2019 compared with 65% for the same period in 2018.
•
Deposit transactions via ATM and mobile channels increased to 57% of total deposit transactions in the first nine months of 2019 from 54% for the same period in 2018.
Retail Banking continues to make progress on its multi-year initiative to redesign the home lending process. Technology enhancements supported increased residential mortgage origination volumes in 2019. The home equity origination cycle is the focus in 2019 as we enhance current capabilities in order to improve speed of delivery and convenience for customers.

(h)
Primarily nonperforming loans of $.5 billion and $.3 billion at September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018, respectively.
Corporate & Institutional Banking earned $1.8 billion in the first nine months of 2019, down $58 million compared to the same period in 2018. Higher revenue was more than offset by an increase in the provision for credit losses and higher noninterest expense.
Net interest income increased in the comparison, primarily due to higher average loan and deposit balances, partially offset by narrower interest rate spreads on the value of loans.
Growth in noninterest income in the comparison was primarily driven by higher treasury management product revenue, capital markets-related revenue and gains on asset sales.
Overall credit quality remained stable. The increase in provision for credit losses was primarily driven by loan growth. Nonperforming assets and net charge-offs in the first nine months of 2019 reflect increases from recent historic lows.
Noninterest expense increased in the comparison largely due to investments in strategic initiatives and variable costs associated with increased business activity.
Average loans increased compared to the first nine months of 2018 mostly due to strong growth in Corporate Banking and Business Credit:
•
Corporate Banking provides lending, treasury management and capital markets-related products and services to mid-sized and large corporations, and government and not-for-profit entities. Average loans for this business grew reflecting strong production in asset-backed financing as well as increased lending to large and mid-sized corporate clients.
•
PNC Real Estate provides banking, financing and servicing solutions for commercial real estate clients nationwide. Average loans for this business decreased primarily driven by project loan payoffs, partially offset by higher commercial mortgage balances.
•
PNC Business Credit provides asset-based lending. The loan portfolio is relatively high yielding, with acceptable risk as the loans are mainly secured by short-term assets. Average loans for this business increased as new originations and higher utilization were partially offset by payoffs.
•
Commercial Banking provides lending, treasury management and capital markets-related products and services to smaller corporations and businesses. Average loans for this business were relatively unchanged.
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 in the comparison driven by growth in interest-bearing deposits including a shift from noninterest-bearing deposits. We continue to monitor and balance the relationship between rates paid and the overall profitability of our deposit balances.
Corporate & Institutional Banking expanded its Corporate Banking business, focused on the middle market and larger sectors, into the Boston and Phoenix markets in 2019. This followed offices opened in Dallas, Kansas City and Minneapolis in 2017, and offices opened in Denver, Houston and Nashville in 2018. These locations complement Corporate & Institutional Banking national businesses with a significant presence in these cities, and build on past successes in the markets where PNC’s retail banking presence was limited, such as in the Southeast. Our full suite of commercial products and services is offered in these locations. We have also formalized plans to expand into the Portland and Seattle markets in 2020.
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.
The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. – Form 10-Q17
The Treasury Management business provides payables, receivables, deposit and account services, liquidity and investments, and online and mobile banking products and services to our clients. 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 primarily includes revenue from all treasury management customer deposit balances. Compared with the first nine months of 2018, treasury management revenue increased primarily due to higher product revenue and higher deposit balances.
Capital markets-related products and services include foreign exchange, derivatives, securities underwriting, loan syndications, mergers and acquisitions advisory and equity capital markets advisory related services. Capital markets-related revenue increased in the comparison primarily due to higher asset-backed finance structuring fees, corporate securities underwriting and customer-related derivatives fees, partially offset by lower loan syndication fees.
Commercial mortgage banking activities include revenue derived from commercial mortgage servicing (both 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 decreased in the comparison due to a lower benefit from commercial mortgage servicing rights valuation, net of economic hedge and lower revenue from commercial mortgage loans held for sale and related hedges, mostly offset by higher commercial mortgage loan servicing income.

The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. – Form 10-Q19
Asset Management Group earned $171 million in the first nine months of 2019 compared to $160 million for the same period in 2018. Earnings increased due to higher revenue partially offset by higher noninterest expense.
Higher revenue in the comparison was driven by a gain on the sale of the retirement recordkeeping business in the second quarter partially offset by lower net interest income due to lower average loan balances and narrower interest rate spreads on loans, as well as lower asset management fees as a result of the retirement recordkeeping sale and lower yielding assets under management.
Noninterest expense increased in the comparison and was primarily attributable to higher personnel expenses and costs associated with the sale transaction, including asset write-offs.
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 September 30, 2019.
The Asset Management Group entered into a definitive agreement in May 2019 to divest components of its PNC Capital Advisor's investment management business, including its PNC family of proprietary mutual funds of approximately $16 billion in assets under management as of September, 30 2019. The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2019.

Loan Portfolio Characteristics and Analysis
Table 14: Details of Loans
In billions
We use several asset quality indicators, as further detailed in Note 3Asset Quality, to monitor and measure our exposure to credit risk within our loan portfolio. The following provides additional information about our significant loan classes.
Commercial
Commercial loans comprised 52% of our total loan portfolio at both September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The majority of our commercial loans are secured by collateral that provides a secondary source of repayment for the loan should the 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, real estate and other business assets.
We actively manage our commercial 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 probability of default (PD) and loss given default (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 also monitor concentrations of credit risk pertaining to both specific industries and geography that may exist in our portfolio. Our portfolio is well-diversified as shown in the following table which provides a breakout of our commercial loans by industry classification (classified based on the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS)).

Commercial Real Estate
Commercial real estate loans comprised $6.0 billion of real estate project loans, $6.2 billion of intermediate term financing loans and $16.7 billion related to commercial mortgages as of September 30, 2019. Comparable amounts were $6.6 billion, $7.1 billion and $14.4 billion, respectively, as of December 31, 2018.
We monitor credit risk associated with our commercial real estate loans similar to commercial loans by analyzing PD and LGD. Additionally, risks associated with these types of credit activities tend to be correlated to the loan structure, collateral location, 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. The following table presents our commercial real estate loans by geographic market and property type.

Home Equity
Home equity loans comprised $14.3 billion of primarily variable-rate home equity lines of credit and $10.7 billion of closed-end home equity installment loans at September 30, 2019. Comparable amounts were $15.5 billion and $10.6 billion, respectively, as of December 31, 2018.
We track borrower performance monthly, including obtaining original loan-to-value ratios (LTV), 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 related 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 also segment the portfolio based upon the loan delinquency, nonperforming status, modification and bankruptcy status, FICO scores, LTV, lien position and geographic concentration.
The home equity portfolio is primarily originated within markets located in the Mid-Atlantic, Midwest, and Southeast, with less than 5% of the portfolio in states outside of those markets at September 30, 2019. The credit quality of newly originated loans over the last twelve months was strong overall with a weighted-average LTV on originations of 68% and a weighted-average FICO score of 769.
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 based upon
22 The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. – Form 10-Q
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.

Residential Real Estate
Residential real estate loans primarily consisted of residential mortgage loans at both September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.
We track borrower performance of this portfolio monthly similarly to home equity loans. This information is used for internal reporting and risk management. For internal reporting and risk management we also segment the mortgage portfolio into pools based on product type (e.g., nonconforming, conforming). 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. Loan performance is evaluated by source originators and loan servicers.
The credit quality of newly originated loans that we retained on our balance sheet over the last twelve months was strong overall as evidenced by a weighted-average LTV on originations of 70% and a weighted-average FICO score of 768.

We originate residential mortgage loans nationwide through our national mortgage business as well as within our branch network. Residential mortgage loans underwritten to government 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 government agency standards, which we retain on our balance sheet. The nonconforming residential mortgage portfolio had strong credit quality at September 30, 2019 with an average original LTV of 70% and an average original FICO score of 772. Our portfolio of nonconforming residential mortgage loans totaled $15.1 billion at September 30, 2019 with 36% located in California.
Automobile
Within auto loans, $14.4 billion resided in the indirect auto portfolio while $1.6 billion were in the direct auto portfolio as of September 30, 2019. Comparable amounts as of December 31, 2018 were $12.9 billion and $1.5 billion, respectively. The indirect auto portfolio relates to loan applications originated through franchised dealers. This business is strategically aligned with our core retail banking business.
We continue to focus on borrowers with strong credit profiles as evidenced by a weighted-average loan origination FICO score over the last twelve months of 745 for indirect auto loans and 765 for direct auto loans. The weighted-average term of loan originations over the last twelve months was 74 months for indirect auto loans and 63 months for direct auto loans. We offer both new and used auto financing to customers through our various channels. At both September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the portfolio was composed of 53% new vehicle loans and 47% used vehicle loans.
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, LTV and term.
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) and foreclosed 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 2018 Form 10-K. A summary of the major categories of nonperforming assets are presented in Table 19. See Note 3Asset Quality in the Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements in this Report for further detail of nonperforming asset categories.

As of September 30, 2019, approximately 88% 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 September 30, 2019, commercial lending nonperforming loans were carried at approximately 78% of their unpaid principal balance, due to charge-offs recorded to date, before consideration of the ALLL.
Within consumer lending nonperforming loans, residential real estate TDRs comprised 78% and 81% of total residential real estate nonperforming loans at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. Home equity TDRs comprised 50% of home equity nonperforming loans at September 30, 2019, up from 47% at December 31, 2018. 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 September 30, 2019, our largest nonperforming asset was $33 million in the Information industry and the ten largest individual nonperforming assets represented 13% of total nonperforming assets.
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.

Troubled Debt Restructurings and Loan Modifications
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
The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. – Form 10-Q25
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).

Nonperforming TDRs represented approximately 53% and 51% of total nonperforming loans at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, and 52% and 47% of total TDRs at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. The remaining portion of TDRs represents TDRs that have been returned to accrual status after performing under the restructured terms for at least six consecutive months.
See Note 3Asset Quality in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this Report for additional information on TDRs. See the Credit Risk Management portion of the Risk Management section in our 2018 Form 10-K for information related to loan modifications.
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 $2.7 billion at September 30, 2019 consisted of $1.8 billion and $.9 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 and estimation processes are periodically updated.
Reserves are established for non-impaired commercial loan classes based primarily on PD and LGD.
Our commercial pool reserve methodology is sensitive to changes in key risk parameters such as PD and LGD. The results of these parameters are then applied to the loan balance and unfunded loan commitments and letters of credit to determine the amount of the respective reserves. The majority of the commercial portfolio is secured by collateral, including loans to asset-based lending customers, which generally demonstrate lower LGD compared to loans not secured by collateral. Our PDs and LGDs are primarily determined using internal commercial loan loss data. This internal data is supplemented with third-party data and management judgment, as deemed necessary. We continue to evaluate and enhance our use of internal commercial loss data and will periodically update our PDs and LGDs as well as consider third-party data, regulatory guidance and management judgment.
Allowances for non-impaired consumer loan classes are primarily based upon transition matrices, including using a roll-rate model. The roll-rate model uses statistical relationships, calculated from historical data that estimate the movement of loan outstandings through the various stages of delinquency and ultimately charge-off.
We establish specific allowances for loans considered impaired using methods prescribed by GAAP. All impaired loans are subject to individual analysis, except leases and large groups of smaller-balance homogeneous loans which may include, but are not limited to, credit card, residential real estate secured and consumer installment loans. Specific allowances for individual loans (including commercial and consumer TDRs) are determined based on an analysis of the present value of expected future cash flows from the loans discounted at their effective interest rate, observable market price or the fair value of the underlying collateral.

Our determination of the ALLL for non-impaired loans is sensitive to the risk grades assigned to commercial loans and loss rates for consumer loans. There are several other qualitative and quantitative factors considered in determining the ALLL. Periodically, reserve sensitivity analyses are performed. Such analyses provide insight into the impact of adverse changes to risk grades and loss rates. Given the current processes used, we believe the risk grades and loss rates currently assigned are appropriate.
Purchased impaired loans are initially recorded at fair value and applicable accounting guidance prohibits the carryover or creation of valuation allowances at acquisition. Because the initial fair values of these loans already reflect a credit component, additional reserves are established when performance is expected to be worse than our expectations as of the acquisition date. At September 30, 2019, we had established reserves of $.3 billion for purchased impaired loans. In addition, loans (purchased impaired and non-impaired) acquired after January 1, 2009 were recorded at fair value. No allowance for loan losses was carried over and no allowance was created at the date of acquisition.
In determining the appropriateness of the ALLL, we make specific allocations to impaired loans and allocations to portfolios of commercial and consumer loans. We also allocate reserves to provide coverage for probable losses incurred in the portfolio at the balance sheet date based upon current market conditions, which may not be reflected in historical loss data. Commercial lending is the largest category of credits and is sensitive to changes in assumptions and judgments underlying the determination of the ALLL.
In addition to the ALLL, we maintain an allowance for unfunded loan commitments and letters of credit. We report this allowance as a liability on our Consolidated Balance Sheet. We maintain the allowance for unfunded loan commitments and letters of credit at a level we believe is appropriate to absorb estimated probable losses on these unfunded credit facilities. We determine this amount using estimates of the probability of the ultimate funding and losses related to those credit exposures. Other than the estimation of the probability of funding, this methodology is very similar to the one we use for determining our ALLL.
See Note 1 Accounting Policies in our 2018 Form 10-K and Note 3Asset Quality in the Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements in this Report for further information on certain key asset quality indicators that we use to evaluate our portfolios and establish the allowances.

The ALLL balance increases or decreases across periods in relation to fluctuating risk factors, including asset quality trends, net charge-offs and changes in aggregate portfolio balances. During the first nine months of 2019, overall credit quality remained strong, which resulted in an essentially flat ratio of ALLL to total loans as of September 30, 2019 compared to December 31, 2018.

Total net charge-offs increased $120 million, or 38%, for the first nine months of 2019 compared to the same period in 2018. The increase in commercial net charge-offs reflected the impact of certain individual credits, while the increases in automobile, credit card and other consumer loan net charge-offs were due in part to loan portfolio growth. See Note 1 Accounting Policies in our 2018 Form 10-K and Note 4Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses in the Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements in this Report for additional information on the ALLL.
The Recently Issued Accounting Standards section within Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments of this Financial Review describes our upcoming implementation of Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-13 - Credit Losses, including our estimated impact upon adoption on its effective date of January 1, 2020.
Liquidity and Capital Management
Liquidity risk, including our liquidity monitoring measures and tools, is described in further detail in the Liquidity and Capital Management section of our 2018 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. The LCR is calculated by dividing the amount of an institution’s high quality, unencumbered liquid assets (HQLA), as defined and calculated in accordance with the LCR rules, by its estimated net cash outflows, with net cash outflows determined by applying the assumed outflow factors in the LCR rules. The resulting quotient is expressed as a percentage. The minimum LCR that PNC and PNC Bank are required to maintain is 100%. PNC and PNC Bank calculate the LCR daily, and as of September 30, 2019, the LCR for PNC and PNC Bank exceeded the requirement of 100%.
See the Recent Regulatory Developments section of this Report for information on the Final Tailoring Rules and the impact on LCR requirements.
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 2018 Form 10-K.
28 The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. – Form 10-Q
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 $285.6 billion at September 30, 2019 from $267.8 billion at December 31, 2018 driven by growth in both interest-bearing and non-interest bearing deposits. See the Funding Sources portion of the Consolidated Balance Sheet Review section of this Financial Review for additional information related to our deposits. Additionally, certain assets determined by us to be liquid as well as unused borrowing capacity from a number of sources are also available to manage our liquidity position.
At September 30, 2019, our liquid assets consisted of short-term investments (federal funds sold, resale agreements, trading securities and interest-earning deposits with banks) totaling $26.3 billion and securities available for sale totaling $69.1 billion. The level of liquid assets fluctuates over time based on many factors, including market conditions, loan and deposit growth and balance sheet management activities. Our liquid assets included $4.0 billion of securities available for sale and trading securities pledged as collateral to secure public and trust deposits, repurchase agreements and for other purposes. In addition, $8.7 billion of securities held to maturity were also pledged as collateral for these purposes.
We also obtain liquidity through various forms of funding, including long-term debt (senior notes, subordinated debt and FHLB borrowings) and short-term borrowings (securities sold under repurchase agreements, commercial paper and other short-term borrowings). See Note 10 Borrowed Funds in our 2018 Form 10-K and the Funding Sources section of the Consolidated Balance Sheet Review for additional information related to our borrowings.
Total senior and subordinated debt, on a consolidated basis, increased due to the following activity:

Bank Liquidity
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 September 30, 2019, PNC Bank had $22.9 billion of notes outstanding under this program of which $18.6 billion were senior bank notes and $4.3 billion were subordinated bank notes. The following table details issuances for the three months ended September 30, 2019.

Beginning on July 22, 2021, interest is payable quarterly, at the 3-month LIBOR rate, reset quarterly, plus 44 basis points, on January 22, April 22, July 22, and October 22, beginning on October 22, 2021.
See Note 17 Subsequent Events for information on the October 2019 issuance of $750 million of subordinated notes by PNC Bank.
PNC Bank maintains additional secured borrowing capacity with the FHLB-Pittsburgh and through the Federal Reserve Bank discount window. The Federal Reserve Bank, however, is not viewed as a primary means of funding our routine business activities, but rather as a potential source of liquidity in a stressed environment or during a market disruption. At September 30, 2019, our unused secured borrowing capacity at the FHLB-Pittsburgh and the Federal Reserve Bank totaled $44.3 billion.
PNC Bank has the ability to offer up to $10.0 billion of its commercial paper to provide additional liquidity. As of September 30, 2019, therewere no issuances outstanding under this program.
The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. – Form 10-Q29
Parent Company Liquidity
In addition to managing liquidity risk at the bank level, we monitor 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 adequate liquidity to fund discretionary activities such as paying dividends to our shareholders, share repurchases and acquisitions.
As of September 30, 2019, available parent company liquidity totaled $6.3 billion. Parent company liquidity is primarily held in intercompany short-term investments, the terms of which provide for the availability of cash in 31 days or less. Investments with longer durations may also be acquired, but if so, 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 it receives from PNC Bank, which may be impacted by the following:
•
Bank-level capital needs,
•
Laws and regulations,
•
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 approximately $3.0 billion at September 30, 2019. See Note 18 Regulatory Matters in the Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2018 Form 10-K for a 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. The parent company has the ability to offer up to $5.0 billion of commercial paper to provide additional liquidity. As of September 30, 2019, there were no commercial paper issuances outstanding.
The parent company has an effective shelf registration statement pursuant to which we can issue additional debt, equity and other capital instruments. Under this shelf registration statement, on July 23, 2019, the parent company issued $1.0 billion of senior notes with a maturity date of July 23, 2026. Interest is payable semi-annually at a fixed rate of 2.60% on July 23 and January 23 of each year, beginning on January 23, 2020. See Note 17 Subsequent Events in the Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements of this Report for information on the November 1, 2019 issuance of $650 million of senior fixed rate notes by the parent company utilizing this shelf registration.
Parent company senior and subordinated debt outstanding totaled $9.3 billion and $6.7 billion at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.
Contractual Obligations and Commitments
We have contractual obligations representing required future payments on borrowed funds, time deposits, leases, pension and postretirement benefits and purchase obligations. See the Liquidity and Capital Management portion of the Risk Management section in our 2018 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 13Commitments in the Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements of this Report.
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.

Capital Management
Detailed information on our capital management processes and activities, including additional information on our previous CCAR submissions and capital plans, is included in the Capital Management portion of the Risk Management section in our 2018 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 connection with the 2019 CCAR process, we submitted our capital plan, as approved by PNC's Board of Directors, to the Federal Reserve in April 2019. The Federal Reserve accepted the capital plan and did not object to our proposed capital actions. As provided in the 2019 capital plan, we announced new share repurchase programs of up to $4.3 billion for the four-quarter period beginning in the third quarter of 2019. In the third quarter of 2019, we repurchased 7.5 million common shares for $1.0 billion.
We paid dividends on common stock of $.5 billion, or $1.15 per common share, during the third quarter of 2019. On October 3, 2019, the PNC Board of Directors declared a quarterly common stock cash dividend of $1.15 per share, with a payment date of November 5, 2019.
We completed our common stock repurchase programs for the four quarter period that ended June 30, 2019, with total repurchases of 21.4 million common shares for $2.8 billion. These repurchases were included in our capital plan accepted by the Federal Reserve as part of our 2018 CCAR submission. Additionally, we paid $1.7 billion in common stock dividends for a total of $4.5 billion of capital returned to shareholders during this four quarter period.

The 2019 Basel III Total risk-based capital ratio includes nonqualifying trust preferred capital securities of $60 million that are subject to a phase-out period that runs through 2021. For comparative purposes only, as of September 30, 2019 the ratio was 12.7%, assuming nonqualifying trust preferred capital securities are phased out.
(f)
Leverage ratio is calculated based on Tier 1 capital divided by Average quarterly adjusted total assets.
(g)
Supplementary leverage ratio is calculated based on Tier 1 capital divided by Supplementary leverage exposure.
Because PNC remains in the parallel run qualification phase for the advanced approaches, our regulatory risk-based capital ratios in 2019 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, past due exposures and equity exposures are generally subject to higher risk weights than other types of exposures. Once we exit parallel run, our regulatory risk-based capital ratios will be the lower of the ratios calculated under the standardized approach and the advanced approaches.
Under the Basel III rules applicable to PNC, significant common stock investments in unconsolidated financial institutions (for PNC, primarily BlackRock), mortgage servicing rights and deferred tax assets must be deducted from capital (net of associated deferred tax liabilities) to the extent they individually exceed 10%, or in the aggregate exceed 15%, of the institution's adjusted common equity
32 The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. – Form 10-Q
Tier 1 capital. Also, Basel III regulatory capital includes AOCI related to securities currently, and those transferred from, available for sale, as well as pension and other postretirement plans.
Federal banking regulators have stated that they expect the largest U.S. bank holding companies (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 believe that our September 30, 2019 capital levels were aligned with them.
At September 30, 2019, PNC and PNC Bank, our sole bank subsidiary, were both 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%.
See the Recent Regulatory Developments section of this Report for information regarding the Final Tailoring Rules and the impact to Basel III capital rules. We provide additional information regarding regulatory capital requirements and some of their potential impacts on us in the Supervision and Regulation section of Item 1 Business, Item 1A Risk Factors and Note 18 Regulatory Matters in our 2018 Form 10-K.
Market Risk Management
See the Market Risk Management portion of the Risk Management Section in our 2018 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 and 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 risk management policies, which are approved by management’s Asset and Liability Committee and the Risk Committee of the Board of Directors.
Sensitivity results and market interest rate benchmarks for the third quarters of 2019 and 2018 follow.

Given the inherent limitations in certain of these measurement tools and techniques, results become less meaningful as interest rates approach zero.
In addition to measuring the effect on net interest income assuming parallel changes in current interest rates, we routinely simulate the effects of a number of nonparallel interest rate environments. Table 30 reflects the percentage change in net interest income over the next two 12-month periods assuming (i) the PNC Economist’s most likely rate forecast, (ii) implied market forward rates and
The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. – Form 10-Q33
(iii) yield curve slope flattening (a 100 basis point yield curve slope flattening between one-month and ten-year rates superimposed on current base rates) scenario.
All changes in forecasted net interest income are relative to results in a base rate scenario where current market rates are assumed to remain unchanged over the forecast horizon.

When forecasting net interest income, we make assumptions about interest rates and the shape of the yield curve, the volume and characteristics of new business and the behavior of existing on- and off-balance sheet positions. These assumptions determine the future level of simulated net interest income in the base interest rate scenario and the other interest rate scenarios presented in Tables 29 and 30. These simulations assume that as assets and liabilities mature, they are replaced or repriced at then current market rates.
The following graph presents the LIBOR/Swap yield curves for the base rate scenario and each of the alternate scenarios one year forward.
Table 31: Alternate Interest Rate Scenarios: One Year Forward
The third quarter 2019 interest sensitivity analyses indicate that our Consolidated Balance Sheet is positioned to benefit from an increase in interest rates and an upward sloping interest rate yield curve. We believe that we have the deposit funding base and balance sheet flexibility to adjust, where appropriate and permissible, to changing interest rates and market conditions.
The planned discontinuance of the requirement that banks submit rates for the calculation of LIBOR after 2021 presents risks to the financial instruments originated, held or serviced by PNC that use LIBOR as a reference rate. PNC holds instruments and services its instruments and instruments owned by others that may be impacted by the likely discontinuance of LIBOR, including loans, investments, hedging products, floating-rate obligations, and other financial instruments that use LIBOR as a benchmark rate. PNC is coordinating with regulators and industry groups to identify an appropriate replacement reference rate for contracts expiring after 2021, as well as preparing for this transition as it relates to both new and existing exposures. PNC has established a cross-functional governance structure to oversee the overall strategy for the transition from LIBOR. An initial LIBOR impact and risk assessment has been performed, which identified the associated risks across products, systems, models, and processes.
See the Risk Factors section in Part I, Item IA disclosed in PNC's 2018 Form 10-K for additional information regarding the planned discontinuance of LIBOR as a reference rate.

34 The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. – Form 10-Q
reflects empirical correlations across different asset classes. We calculate a diversified VaR at a 95% confidence interval and the results for the first nine months of 2019 and 2018 were within our acceptable limits.
See the Market Risk Management – Customer-Related Trading Risk section of our 2018 Form 10-K for more information on our models used to calculate VaR and our backtesting process.
Customer related trading revenue was $212 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to $196 million for the same period in 2018. The increase was primarily due to improved derivative clients sales revenue partially offset by a reduction in foreign exchange client revenue. For the quarterly period, customer related trading revenue was $77 million for the third quarter of 2019 compared to $53 million in 2018. The increase was driven by the improved derivative client sales revenue and, to a lesser extent, improved client related trading results and the impact of changes in credit valuations for customer-related derivatives.
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. 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.

BlackRock
We owned approximately 35 million common stock equivalent shares of BlackRock equity at September 30, 2019, accounted for under the equity method. The Business Segments Review section of this Financial Review includes additional information about BlackRock.
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 $.9 billion and $.8 billion at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. These unfunded commitments are included in Other liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Note 2 Loan Sale and Servicing Activities and Variable Interest Entities in the Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2018 Form 10-K has further information on Tax Credit Investments.
Private Equity and Other
The majority of our other equity investments consists of 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 $1.6 billion and $1.5 billion at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. As of September 30, 2019, $1.4 billionwas invested directly in a variety of companies and $.2 billion was invested indirectly through various private equity funds. See the Supervision and Regulation section in Item 1 of our 2018 Form 10-K for discussion of the potential impacts of the Volcker Rule provisions of Dodd-Frank on our interests in and other relationships with private funds covered by the Volcker Rule.
Included in our other equity investments are Visa Class B common shares, which are recorded at cost. Visa Class B common shares that we own are transferable only under limited circumstances until they can be converted into shares of the publicly-traded Class A common shares, which cannot happen until the resolution of the pending interchange litigation. Based upon the September 30, 2019 per share closing price of $172.01for a Visa Class A common share, the estimated value of our total investment in the Class B common shares was approximately $981 million at the current conversion rate of Visa B shares to Visa A shares, while our cost basis was not significant. See Note 6 Fair Value and Note 19 Legal Proceedings in the Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8
The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. – Form 10-Q35
of our 2018 10-K for additional information regarding our Visa agreements. The estimated value does not represent fair value of the Visa B common shares given the share’s limited transferability and the lack of observable transactions in the marketplace.
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 not significant at September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018.
Financial Derivatives
We use a variety of financial derivatives as part of the overall asset and liability risk management process to help manage exposure to market (primarily interest rate) and credit risk inherent in our business activities. We also enter into derivatives with customers to facilitate their risk management activities.
Financial derivatives involve, to varying degrees, market and credit risk. Derivatives represent contracts between parties that usually require little or no initial net investment and result in one party delivering cash or another type of asset to the other party based on a notional and an underlying as specified in the contract. Therefore, cash requirements and exposure to credit risk are significantly less than the notional amount on these instruments.
Further information on our financial derivatives is presented in Note 1 Accounting Policies and Note 6 Fair Value in our Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2018 Form 10-K and in Note 6Fair Value and Note 9Financial Derivatives in the Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements in this Report.
Not all elements of market and credit risk are addressed through the use of financial derivatives, and such instruments may be ineffective for their intended purposes due to unanticipated market changes, among other reasons.
RECENT REGULATORY DEVELOPMENTS
Agency Actions to Better Tailor Regulations to An Institution’s Risk Profile
In October 2019, the Federal Reserve, Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) and Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) adopted final rules to tailor the application of the agencies’ capital (including stress testing) and liquidity rules, and the Federal Reserve’s enhanced prudential standards adopted under Section 165 of Dodd-Frank, to banking organizations with $100 billion or more in consolidated total assets (the Final Tailoring Rules). The Final Tailoring Rules classify all bank holding companies (BHCs) with $100 billion or more in total assets into one of four categories (Category I, Category II, Category III and Category IV), with the most stringent capital, liquidity and enhanced prudential requirements applying to Category I firms and the least restrictive requirements applying to Category IV firms. The classification of any bank subsidiary of a BHC will generally follow that of its parent BHC. PNC and PNC Bank are considered Category III firms under the Final Tailoring Rules because PNC (i) has more than $250 billion in consolidated total assets, (ii) is not designated as a globally systemically important bank (GSIB), and (iii) has less than $75 billion in cross-jurisdictional activity (as defined in the final rules). The Final Tailoring Rules become effective on December 31, 2019 or allow organizations to begin complying with the new rules beginning December 31, 2019, although certain related changes (such as the changes to the Basel III threshold deductions applicable to PNC and PNC Bank described below) do not become effective until January 1, 2020. As such, we expect the changes to be fully effective for PNC and PNC Bank no later than the first quarter of 2020.
As described below, the Final Tailoring Rules make several important changes to the capital, liquidity and enhanced prudential standards requirements applicable to PNC and PNC Bank.
First, the Final Tailoring Rules significantly modify the threshold deductions for significant common stock investments in unconsolidated financial institutions, as well as mortgage servicing rights and deferred tax assets, from Common equity Tier 1 (CET1) capital (in each case, net of associated deferred tax liabilities) applicable to PNC and PNC Bank. Under the Final Tailoring Rules, PNC and PNC Bank will have to deduct its significant common stock investments in unconsolidated financial institutions, mortgage servicing rights and deferred tax assets from CET1 capital (in each case, net of associated deferred tax liabilities) only to the extent such items individually exceed 25% of the institution's adjusted CET1 capital. PNC's common stock investment in BlackRock is treated as a significant common stock investment in an unconsolidated financial institution for these purposes. As of September 30, 2019, a portion of PNC’s common stock investment in BlackRock was required to be deducted from CET1 capital. If the Final Tailoring Rules had been in effect as of September 30, 2019, no portion of PNC’s common stock investment in BlackRock would have been deducted from CET1 capital.
As a result, upon effectiveness of the Final Tailoring Rules, PNC may have the ability to return more capital to shareholders, through dividends or buybacks, while still maintaining capital in excess of regulatory and policy minimums. We are evaluating how best to deploy that excess capital in light of the impact of the Final Tailoring Rules and will continue to do so. The timing and amount of any dividends and buybacks will continue to be subject, among other things, to the CCAR process described in the Supervision and Regulation section of Item 1 Business in our 2018 Form 10-K.
36 The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. – Form 10-Q
Second, under the Final Tailoring Rules, PNC and PNC Bank will have the ability to opt-out of the inclusion of accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) related to both available for sale securities and pension and other post-retirement plans in CET1 capital. PNC and PNC Bank must make this election in the organization’s relevant regulatory reporting forms for the first period ending after the effective date of the Final Tailoring Rules. We expect to make this election.
Third, the Final Tailoring Rules reduce the LCR requirements for Category III banking organizations that, like PNC and PNC Bank, have less than $75 billion in weighted short-term wholesale funding (as defined by the rules). Under the Final Tailoring Rules, the net cash outflows of PNC and PNC Bank under the LCR rules are scaled by a factor of 85% (rather than the 100% standard under current rules), thereby reducing the amount of HQLA that the organization has to maintain to meet its LCR requirements.
In addition, under the Final Tailoring Rules:
•
PNC and PNC Bank will no longer be required to use the model-based advanced approaches to calculate risk-weighted assets for capital purposes;
•
PNC will no longer have to conduct a mid-cycle company-run stress test using balance sheet data as of June 30 and publicly disclose the results of such test; and
•
PNC and PNC Bank will have to conduct a company-run stress test under the Dodd-Frank Act stress testing regulations of the Federal Reserve and OCC (a “DFAST stress test”) biennially (rather than annually) using two scenarios (a baseline and severely adverse scenario), and publicly disclose the results of such tests.
Finally, the Federal Reserve and FDIC in October 2019 adopted modifications to their resolution plan regulations for covered BHCs, including PNC. Under the modifications, which we expect to go into effect in the first quarter of 2020, PNC will generally have to file a resolution plan on a 3-year cycle, with submissions alternating between a full plan and a targeted plan. Pursuant to these modifications and a filing extension received from the Federal Reserve and FDIC in July 2019, PNC’s next resolution plan is scheduled to be filed by July 1, 2021. The modifications, however, provide the agencies with the ability to alter the scheduled filing date for a covered company, request an interim update before a covered company’s next scheduled filing date, and require a covered company to submit a full resolution plan in lieu of a scheduled targeted plan.
Volcker Rule
In October, the U.S. banking agencies, SEC, and Commodity Futures Trading Commission approved changes to the regulations implementing the Volcker Rule that, among other things, simplify and tailor the compliance program requirements for banking entities, like PNC, that have trading assets and liabilities of more than $1 billion, but less than $20 billion. The final regulations also provide that for institutions subject to the market risk capital rule, like PNC, only certain market risk capital rules and dealer positions are subject to the Volcker Rule’s restrictions on proprietary trading. The final regulations also simplify the requirements for underwriting, market-making, and risk-mitigating hedging activities. Banking entities must comply with the final regulations by January 1, 2021, but may elect to comply with the modifications beginning January 1, 2020.
FDIC Recordkeeping Requirements
In July 2019, the FDIC approved amendments to its regulations regarding (i) enhanced deposit insurance recordkeeping requirements for insured depository institutions (IDIs) with at least 2 million deposit accounts, including PNC Bank, and (ii) deposit insurance recordkeeping requirements for joint deposit accounts applicable to all IDIs. Among other things, the amendments revise the attestation requirement under the deposit insurance recordkeeping regulations and allow covered IDIs to elect to extend the April 1, 2020 compliance date for the enhanced deposit insurance recordkeeping requirements by up to one year.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards
ASU
Description
Financial Statement Impact
Credit Losses - ASU 2016-13
Issued June 2016
Codification Improvements - ASU 2019-04
Various improvements related to Credit Losses (Topics 1, 2 and 5)
• Requires the use of an expected credit loss methodology; specifically, current expected credit losses (CECL) for the remaining life of the asset will be recognized at the time of origination or acquisition.
• Methodology will apply to loans, net investment in leases, debt securities and certain financial assets not accounted for at fair value through net income. It will also apply to off-balance sheet credit exposures except for unconditionally cancellable commitments.
• In-scope assets will be presented at the net amount expected to be collected after deducting the allowance for credit losses (ACL) from the amortized cost basis of the assets.
• Requires inclusion of expected recoveries of previously charged-off amounts for in-scope assets.
• Requires enhanced credit quality disclosures including disaggregation of credit quality indicators by vintage.
• Requires a modified retrospective approach through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the year of adoption.
• We plan to adopt the CECL standard on its effective date.
• We have a company-wide, cross-functional governance structure that we established in the third quarter of 2016 to oversee overall strategy for implementation of the CECL standard.
• We have prepared CECL accounting policies and continue to refine and test our models, estimation techniques, data, operational processes and financial controls which will be used to calculate our ACL under the CECL standard. We will continue to refine our interpretations, methodology, data and operational processes based upon our reviews and tests.
• The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) recently issued ASU's 2019-04 and 2019-05. ASU 2019-04 clarified treatment of several topics in the CECL standard, including recoveries and accrued interest, which we plan to implement. ASU 2019-05 provided an option to elect fair value option at transition for certain assets in scope for CECL, which we plan to utilize. The FASB is also expected to publish an ASU providing additional guidance on selected topics and we are awaiting final guidance to implement any necessary changes.
• The ACL will be developed using various models and estimation techniques utilizing our historical loss experience, current borrower characteristics, current conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts and other relevant factors. For expected losses in our reasonable and supportable forecast period of three years, we will use four macroeconomic scenarios and their estimated probabilities. These will be produced by our economics team using a combination of structural models and expert judgment and will be designed to reflect a range of plausible economic conditions and emerging business cycles over the next three years.
• We will also apply qualitative factors that could be related to idiosyncratic risk factors, changes in current economic conditions that may not be reflected in quantitatively derived results, or other relevant factors to ensure the ACL reflects our best estimate of current expected credit losses.
• Based on our analysis of results from the parallel run periods in 2019 thus far, our CECL estimate will be sensitive to various factors, including, but not limited to, the following major factors:
- Current economic conditions and borrower quality: Our forecast of expected losses depends on current conditions and portfolio quality. As current conditions evolve, forecasted losses could be materially affected.
- Scenario weights and design: Our loss estimates are sensitive to the shape and severity of macroeconomic forecasts and thus vary significantly between upside and downside scenarios. Change to probabilities and timing of peak business cycles could materially affect our loss estimates.
- Methodology changes: Enhancements to our CECL methodologies could materially affect our reserve estimates.
• Based on our forecasted economic conditions and portfolio balances at September 30, 2019, the adoption of the CECL standard could result in an overall ACL increase of approximately 20%, as compared to our current aggregate reserve levels. The overall change is primarily due to the difference between current loss reserve periods versus the estimated remaining contractual lives, as required by the CECL standard. We believe that given current conditions, our consumer loss reserves will increase significantly, while our commercial loan reserves will decrease slightly. Additionally, the CECL ACL could produce higher volatility in the quarterly provision for credit losses than our current reserve process.
• The estimated impact of the CECL standard implementation is based on the current state of our end-to-end CECL process and is inclusive of quantitative results and qualitative factors. This process is still under development, including refinement and development of certain models, estimation techniques and the build-out of the operational and control structure supporting the end-to-end process. The reserve amount to be recorded at the January 1, 2020 transition date may differ from our estimate due to the factors noted above, further process refinements and other assumptions.
Goodwill - ASU 2017-04
Issued January 2017
• Required effective date of January 1, 2020.
• Eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test to simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill under which a loss was recognized only if the estimated implied fair value of the goodwill is below its carrying value.
• Requires impairment to be recognized if the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value.
• We plan to adopt the standard on its effective date and we do not expect the adoption of this standard to impact our consolidated results of operations or our consolidated financial position.
38 The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. – Form 10-Q
Codification Improvements - ASU 2019-04
Topic 3: Codification Improvements to ASU 2017-12 and Other Hedging Items
Issued April 2019
• Required effective date of January 1, 2020 with early adoption permitted if ASU 2017-12 was previously adopted.
• Targeted improvements related to:
- Partial-term fair value hedges of interest rate risk
- Amortization of fair value hedge basis adjustments
- Disclosure of fair value hedge basis adjustments
- Consideration of the hedged contractually specified interest rate under the hypothetical derivative method
- Application of a first-payments-received cash flow hedging technique to overall cash flows on a group of variable interest payments
- Update to transition guidance for ASU 2017-12
• We are currently assessing the potential impact to PNC upon adoption of these codification improvements.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS AND VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES
We engage in a variety of activities that involve entities that are not consolidated or otherwise reflected in our Consolidated Balance Sheet that are generally referred to as off-balance sheet arrangements. Additional information on these types of activities is included in our 2018 Form 10-K and in Note 2Loan Sale and Servicing Activities and Variable Interest Entities and Note 13Commitments in the Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Report.
A summary and further description of variable interest entities (VIEs) is included in Note 1 Accounting Policies and Note 2Loan Sale and Servicing Activities and Variable Interest Entities in our 2018 Form 10-K.
Trust Preferred Securities
See Note 10 Borrowed Funds in the Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2018 Form 10-K for additional information on trust preferred securities issued by PNC Capital Trust C including information on contractual limitations potentially imposed on payments (including dividends) with respect to PNC's equity securities.
INTERNAL CONTROLS AND DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
As of September 30, 2019, we performed an evaluation under the supervision of and with the participation of our management, including the Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer and the Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures and of changes in our internal control over financial reporting.
Based on that evaluation, our Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer and our Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) were effective as of September 30, 2019, and that there has been no change in PNC’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the third quarter of 2019 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

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 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 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 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 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 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 the following:
–
Changes in interest rates and valuations in debt, equity and other financial markets.
–
Disruptions in the U.S. and global financial markets.
–
Actions by the Federal Reserve Board, U.S. Treasury and other government agencies, including those that impact money supply and market interest rates.
–
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 tariffs and other trade policies of the U.S. and its global trading partners.
–
Slowing or reversal of the current U.S. economic expansion.
–
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 and do not take into account potential legal and regulatory contingencies. These statements are based on our views that:
–
U.S. economic growth, after accelerating a few years ago, has slowed since mid-2018 and is expected to slow further through the rest of this year and into 2020.
–
Job growth will continue into 2020, but at a slower pace due to both difficulty in finding workers and slower economic growth. The unemployment rate is expected to increase slightly in the near term, but the labor market will remain tight, pushing wages higher and supporting continued gains in consumer spending.
–
Slower global economic growth, trade restrictions and geopolitical concerns are downside risks to the forecast, which have increased in 2019, and risks are weighted to the downside.
–
Inflation has slowed in 2019, to below the FOMC’s 2% objective, but is expected to gradually increase over the next two years.
–
Our baseline forecast includes the 0.25% federal funds rate cut on October 30, 2019. We expect the funds rate to remain in a range of 1.50% to 1.75% through the rest of 2019.
•
Our ability to take certain capital actions, including returning capital to shareholders, is subject to review by the Federal Reserve Board as part of our comprehensive capital plan for the applicable period in connection with the Federal Reserve Board’s CCAR process and to the acceptance of such capital plan and non-objection to such capital actions by the Federal Reserve Board.
•
Our regulatory capital ratios in the future will depend on, among other things, the company’s financial performance, the scope and terms of final capital regulations then in effect and management actions affecting the composition of our balance sheet. In addition, our 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.
•
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 management. These developments could include:
–
Changes to laws and regulations, including changes affecting oversight of the financial services industry, consumer protection, bank capital and liquidity standards, pension, bankruptcy and other industry aspects, and changes in accounting policies and principles.
–
Unfavorable resolution of legal proceedings or other claims and regulatory and other governmental investigations or other inquiries. These matters may result in monetary judgments or settlements or other remedies, including fines, penalties,
40 The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. – Form 10-Q
restitution or alterations in our business practices, and in additional expenses and collateral costs, and may cause reputational harm to us.
–
Results of the regulatory examination and supervision process, including our failure to satisfy requirements of agreements with governmental agencies.
–
Impact on business and operating results of any 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.
•
Business and operating results also include impacts relating to our equity interest in BlackRock, Inc. and rely to a significant extent on information provided to us by BlackRock. Risks and uncertainties that could affect BlackRock are discussed in more detail by BlackRock in its SEC filings.
•
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, and the integration of the acquired businesses into PNC after closing.
•
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 natural and other disasters, pandemics, dislocations, terrorist activities, system failures, security breaches, cyberattacks or international hostilities through impacts on the economy and financial markets generally or on us or our counterparties specifically.
We provide greater detail regarding these as well as other factors in our 2018 Form 10-K and elsewhere in this Report, including in the Risk Factors and Risk Management sections and the Legal Proceedings and Commitments Notes of the Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements 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.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
THE PNC FINANCIAL SERVICES GROUP, INC.
Unaudited
BUSINESS
The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. (PNC) is one of the largest diversified financial services companies in the United States and is headquartered in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
We have businesses engaged in retail banking, including residential mortgage, corporate and institutional banking and asset management, providing many of our products and services nationally. Our retail branch network is located in markets across the Mid-Atlantic, Midwest and Southeast. We also have strategic international offices in four countries outside the U.S.
NOTE 1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Financial Statement Presentation
Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the parent company and its subsidiaries, most of which are wholly-owned, certain partnership interests and variable interest entities.
We prepared these consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). We have eliminated intercompany accounts and transactions. We have also reclassified certain prior year amounts to conform to the current period presentation, which did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
In our opinion, the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements reflect all normal, recurring adjustments needed to present fairly our results for the interim periods. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year or any other interim period.
We have also considered the impact of subsequent events on these consolidated financial statements.
When preparing these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements, we have assumed that you have read the audited consolidated financial statements included in our 2018 Form 10-K. Reference is made to Note 1 Accounting Policies in our 2018 Form 10-K for a detailed description of significant accounting policies. There have been no significant changes to our accounting policies as disclosed in our 2018 Form 10-K, except for the adoption of the new leasing standard included in this Note 1 in the first quarter of 2019. These interim consolidated financial statements serve to update our 2018 Form 10-K and may not include all information and Notes necessary to constitute a complete set of financial statements.
Use of Estimates
We prepared these consolidated financial statements using financial information available at the time of preparation, which requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. Our most significant estimates pertain to our fair value measurements and allowances for loan and lease losses and unfunded loan commitments and letters of credit. Actual results may differ from the estimates and the differences may be material to the consolidated financial statements.
Leases
We provide financing for various types of equipment, including aircraft, energy and power systems, and vehicles through a variety of lease arrangements. Direct financing leases are carried at the aggregate of lease payments plus estimated residual value of the leased equipment, less unearned income. We recognize income over the term of the lease using the constant effective yield method. Direct financing lease residual values are reviewed for impairment in accordance with the Allowance for Loan and Lease (ALLL) processes. Gains or losses on the sale of leased assets are included in Other noninterest income while impairment on the net investment of leases is included in Provision for credit losses.
We also enter into various lease arrangements, primarily involving real estate, and other equipment, as the lessee. For those classified as operating leases, we recognize a lease liability, representing the present value of the minimum lease payments, and a corresponding right of use (ROU) asset. On the consolidated balance sheet, the ROU asset and lease liability are included in Other assets and Other liabilities, respectively.
The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. – Form 10-Q47
When we adopted the Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-02 - Leases as of January 1, 2019, we recognized lease liabilities and right-of-use assets of $2.1 billion and $2.0 billion, respectively. In addition, we recognized a one-time pretax adjustment of $83 million to retained earnings, related primarily to deferred gains on previous sale-leaseback transactions. See Note 16 Leases for additional information related to leases within the scope of ASC 842.
As more fully described in Note 2 Loan Sale and Servicing Activities and Variable Interest Entities in our 2018 Form 10-K, we have transferred residential and commercial mortgage loans in securitization or sales transactions in which we have continuing involvement. Our continuing involvement generally consists of servicing, repurchasing previously transferred loans under certain conditions and loss share arrangements, and, in limited circumstances, holding of mortgage-backed securities issued by the securitization special purpose entities (SPEs).
We earn servicing and other ancillary fees for our role as servicer and, depending on the contractual terms of the servicing arrangement, we can be terminated as servicer with or without cause. At the consummation date of each type of loan transfer where we retain the servicing, we recognize a servicing right at fair value. See Note 6Fair Value and Note 7Goodwill and Mortgage Servicing Rights for information on our servicing rights, including the carrying value of servicing assets.
The following table provides cash flows associated with our loan sale and servicing activities:

Table 34 presents information about the principal balances of transferred loans that we service and are not recorded on our Consolidated Balance Sheet. We would only experience a loss on these transferred loans if we were required to repurchase a loan,
48 The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. – Form 10-Q
where the repurchase price exceeded the loan's fair value, due to a breach in representations and warranties or a loss sharing arrangement associated with our continuing involvement with these loans. The estimate of losses related to breaches in representations and warranties was insignificant at September 30, 2019.

(c)
Net charge-offs for Residential mortgages represent credit losses less recoveries distributed and as reported to investors during the period. Net charge-offs for Commercial mortgages represent credit losses less recoveries distributed and as reported by the trustee for commercial mortgage-backed securitizations. Realized losses for Agency securitizations are not reflected as we do not manage the underlying real estate upon foreclosure and, as such, do not have access to loss information.
Variable Interest Entities (VIEs)
As discussed in Note 2 Loan Sale and Servicing Activities and Variable Interest Entities in our 2018 Form 10-K, we are involved with various entities in the normal course of business that are deemed to be VIEs.
The following table provides a summary of non-consolidated VIEs with which we have significant continuing involvement but are not the primary beneficiary. We have excluded certain transactions with non-consolidated VIEs from the balances presented in Table 35 where we have determined that our continuing involvement is not significant. We do not consider our continuing involvement to be significant when it relates to a VIE where we only invest in securities issued by the VIE and were not involved in the design of the VIE or where no transfers have occurred between us and the VIE. In addition, where we only have lending arrangements in the normal course of business with entities that could be VIEs, we have excluded these transactions with non-consolidated entities from the balances presented in Table 35. These loans are included as part of the asset quality disclosures that we make in Note 3Asset Quality.

The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. – Form 10-Q49
We make certain equity investments in various tax credit limited partnerships or limited liability companies (LLCs). The purpose of these investments is to achieve a satisfactory return on capital and to assist us in achieving goals associated with the Community Reinvestment Act. During the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2019, we recognized $152 million of amortization, $165 million of tax credits and $35 million of other tax benefits associated with qualified investments in low income housing tax credits within Income taxes. The amounts for the third quarter of 2019 were $52 million, $54 million and $11 million, respectively.
NOTE 3 ASSET QUALITY
We closely monitor economic conditions and loan performance trends to manage and evaluate our exposure to credit risk. Trends in delinquency rates may be a key indicator, among other considerations, of credit risk within the loan portfolios. The 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.
Nonperforming assets include nonperforming loans and leases, other real estate owned (OREO) and foreclosed assets. Nonperforming loans are those loans accounted for at amortized cost whose credit quality has deteriorated to the extent that full collection of contractual principal and interest is not probable. Interest income is not recognized on these loans. Loans accounted for under the fair value option are reported as performing loans as these loans are accounted for at fair value. However, when nonaccrual criteria is met, interest income is not recognized on these loans. Additionally, certain government insured or guaranteed loans for which we expect to collect substantially all principal and interest are not reported as nonperforming loans and continue to accrue interest. Purchased impaired loans are excluded from nonperforming loans as we are currently accreting interest income over the expected life of the loans.
See Note 1 Accounting Policies in our 2018 Form 10-K for additional information on our loan related policies.

Amounts in table represent recorded investment and exclude loans held for sale. Recorded investment does not include any associated valuation allowance.
(b)
Past due loan amounts exclude purchased impaired loans, even if contractually past due (or if we do not expect to receive payment in full based on the original contractual terms), as we are currently accreting interest income over the expected life of the loans. Past due loan amounts include government insured or guaranteed Residential real estate mortgages totaling $.4 billion and $.5 billion at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, and Education loans totaling $.2 billion at both September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.
(c)
Consumer loans accounted for under the fair value option for which we do not expect to collect substantially all principal and interest are subject to nonaccrual accounting and classification upon meeting any of our nonaccrual policies. Given that these loans are not accounted for at amortized cost, these loans have been excluded from the nonperforming loan population.
(d)
Net of unearned income, net deferred loan fees, unamortized discounts and premiums, and purchase discounts and premiums totaling $1.2 billion at both September 30, 2019December 31, 2018.
At September 30, 2019, we pledged $16.2 billion of commercial loans to the Federal Reserve Bank and $66.7 billion of residential real estate and other loans to the Federal Home Loan Bank as collateral for the ability to borrow, if necessary. The comparable amounts at December 31, 2018 were $17.3 billion and $63.2 billion, respectively. Amounts pledged reflect the unpaid principal balances.

Excludes most unsecured consumer loans and lines of credit, which are charged off after 120 to 180 days past due and are not placed on nonperforming status.
Nonperforming loans also include certain loans whose terms have been restructured in a manner that grants a concession to a borrower experiencing financial difficulties. In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, these loans are considered troubled debt restructurings (TDRs). See Note 1 Accounting Policies in our 2018 Form 10-K and the TDR section of this Note 3 for additional information on TDRs.
Total nonperforming loans in Table 37 include TDRs of $.9 billion at both September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. TDRs that are performing, including consumer credit card TDR loans, totaled $.9 billion and $1.0 billion at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, and are excluded from nonperforming loans.
Additional Asset Quality Indicators
We have two portfolio segments – Commercial Lending and Consumer Lending. Each of these segments comprises multiple loan classes. Classes are characterized by similarities in initial measurement, risk attributes and the manner in which we monitor and assess credit risk. The Commercial Lending segment is composed of the commercial, commercial real estate and equipment lease financing loan classes. The Consumer Lending segment is composed of the home equity, residential real estate, automobile, credit card, education and other consumer loan classes.
Commercial Lending Loan Classes
The following table presents asset quality indicators for the Commercial Lending loan classes. See Note 3 Asset Quality in our 2018 Form 10-K for additional information related to our Commercial Lending loan classes, including discussion around the asset quality indicators that we use to monitor and manage the credit risk associated with each loan class.
Loans are classified as Pass Rated and Criticized based on the Regulatory classification definitions. The Criticized classification includes loans that were rated special mention, substandard or doubtful as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. We use probability of default and loss given default to rate loans in the commercial lending portfolio.
Consumer Lending Loan Classes
See Note 3Asset Quality in our 2018 Form 10-K for additional information related to our Consumer Lending loan classes, including discussion around the asset quality indicators that we use to monitor and manage the credit risk associated with each loan class.

Management proactively assesses the risk and size of this loan category and, when necessary, takes actions to mitigate the credit risk.
(b)
Weighted-average updated FICO score excludes accounts with no FICO score available or required.

Troubled Debt Restructurings (TDRs)
Table 41 quantifies the number of loans that were classified as TDRs, as well as the change in the loans’ recorded investment as a result of becoming a TDR during the three and nine months endedSeptember 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018. Additionally, the table provides information about the types of TDR concessions. See Note 3 Asset Quality in our 2018 Form 10-K for additional discussion of TDRs.

(c) Represents the recorded investment of the TDRs as of the end of the quarter in which the TDR occurs, and excludes immaterial amounts of accrued interest receivable.
After a loan is determined to be a TDR, we continue to track its performance under its most recent restructured terms. We consider a TDR to have subsequently defaulted when it becomes 60 days past due after the most recent date the loan was restructured. The recorded investment of loans that were both (i) classified as TDRs or were subsequently modified during each 12-month period preceding January 1, 2019 and January 1, 2018, respectively, and (ii) subsequently defaulted during three and nine months endedSeptember 30, 2019 totaled $42 million and $68 million, respectively. The comparable amounts for the three and nine months endedSeptember 30, 2018 totaled $19 million and $44 million, respectively.
Impaired Loans
Impaired loans include commercial and consumer nonperforming loans and TDRs, regardless of nonperforming status. TDRs that were previously recorded at amortized cost and are now classified and accounted for as held for sale are also included. Excluded from impaired loans are nonperforming leases, loans accounted for as held for sale other than the TDRs described in the preceding sentence, loans accounted for under the fair value option, smaller balance homogeneous type loans and purchased impaired loans. We did not recognize any interest income on impaired loans that have not returned to performing status, while they were impaired during the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018. Table 42 provides further detail on impaired loans individually evaluated for impairment and the associated ALLL. Certain commercial and consumer impaired loans do not have a related ALLL as the valuation of these impaired loans exceeded the recorded investment.

NOTE 4 ALLOWANCEFOR LOANAND LEASE LOSSES
We maintain the ALLL at levels that we believe to be appropriate to absorb estimated probable credit losses incurred in the portfolios as of the balance sheet date. We have two portfolio segments – Commercial Lending and Consumer Lending, and develop and document the ALLL under separate methodologies for each of these portfolio segments. See Note 1 Accounting Policies in our 2018 Form 10-K for a description of the accounting policies for the ALLL. A rollforward of the ALLL and associated loan data follows:

The fair value of investment securities is impacted by interest rates, credit spreads, market volatility and liquidity conditions. Net unrealized gains and losses in the securities available for sale portfolio are included in Shareholders’ equity as accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI), unless credit-related. Securities held to maturity are carried at amortized cost. Investment securities at September 30, 2019 included $280 million of net unsettled purchases which represent non-cash investing activity, and accordingly, are not reflected on the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.
At September 30, 2019, AOCI included pretax gains of $28 million from derivatives that hedged the purchase of investment securities classified as held to maturity. The gains will be accreted into interest income as an adjustment of yield on the securities.
Table 45 presents gross unrealized losses and fair value of debt securities at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The securities are segregated between investments that have been in a continuous unrealized loss position for less than twelve months and twelve months or more based on the point in time that the fair value declined below the amortized cost basis. The table includes debt securities where a portion of other than temporary impairment (OTTI) has been recognized in AOCI.

Evaluating Investment Securities for OTTI
For the securities in Table 45, as of September 30, 2019 we do not intend to sell and believe we will not be required to sell the securities prior to recovery of the amortized cost basis.
On at least a quarterly basis, we review all debt securities that are in an unrealized loss position for OTTI, as discussed in Note 1 Accounting Policies of our 2018 Form 10-K. For those securities on our Consolidated Balance Sheet at September 30, 2019, where during our quarterly security-level impairment assessments we determined losses represented OTTI, we have recorded cumulative credit losses of $1.1 billion in earnings and accordingly have reduced the amortized cost of our securities.
The majority of these cumulative impairment charges related to non-agency residential mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities rated BB or lower. During the first nine months of 2019 and 2018, the OTTI credit losses recognized in noninterest income and the OTTI noncredit losses recognized in AOCI on securities were not significant.
Information relating to gross realized securities gains and losses from the sales of securities is set forth in the following table.

Weighted-average yields are based on amortized cost with effective yields weighted for the contractual maturity of each security. At September 30, 2019, there were no securities of a single issuer, other than the Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA) and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corp (FHLMC), that exceeded 10% of Total shareholders’ equity. The FNMA and FHLMC investments had a total amortized cost of $40.4 billion and $6.4 billion and fair value of $41.0 billion and $6.5 billion, respectively.
The following table presents the fair value of securities that have been either pledged to or accepted from others to collateralize outstanding borrowings.

NOTE6FAIR VALUE
Fair Value Measurement
We measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or the price that would be paid to transfer a liability on the measurement date, determined using an exit price in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. The fair value hierarchy established by GAAP requires us to maximize the use of observable inputs when measuring fair value. For more information regarding the fair value hierarchy, see Note 6 Fair Value in our 2018 Form 10-K.
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
For more information on the valuation methodologies used to measure assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis, see Note 6 Fair Value in our 2018 Form 10-K. The following table summarizes our assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, including instruments for which we have elected the fair value option.

An instrument’s categorization within the hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Changes from one quarter to the next related to the observability of inputs to a fair value measurement may result in a reclassification (transfer) of assets or liabilities between hierarchy levels. Our policy is to recognize transfers in and transfers out as of the end of the reporting period.

Financial Assets Accounted for at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
We may be required to measure certain financial assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These adjustments to fair value usually result from the application of lower of amortized cost or fair value accounting or write-downs of individual assets due to impairment and are included in Table 52. For more information regarding the valuation methodologies of our financial assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, see Note 6 Fair Value in our 2018 Form 10-K.

NOTE 7 GOODWILLAND MORTGAGE SERVICING RIGHTS
Goodwill
See Note 7 Goodwill and Mortgage Servicing Rights in our 2018 Form 10-K for more information regarding our goodwill.
Mortgage Servicing Rights
We recognize the right to service mortgage loans for others when we recognize it as an intangible asset and the servicing income we receive is more than adequate compensation. MSRs totaled $1.5 billion and $2.0 billion at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, and consisted of loan servicing contracts for commercial and residential mortgages measured at fair value.
MSRs are subject to declines in value from actual or expected prepayment of the underlying loans and defaults as well as market driven changes in interest rates. We manage this risk by economically hedging the fair value of MSRs with securities and derivative instruments which are expected to increase (or decrease) in value when the value of MSRs decreases (or increases).
See the Sensitivity Analysis section of this Note 7, as well as Note 6 Fair Value in our 2018 Form 10-K for more detail on our fair value measurement of MSRs. Refer to Note 7 Goodwill and Mortgage Servicing Rights in our 2018 Form 10-K for more information on our accounting and measurement of MSRs.

Sensitivity Analysis
The fair value of commercial and residential MSRs and significant inputs to the valuation models as of September 30, 2019 are shown in Tables 57 and 58. The expected and actual rates of mortgage loan prepayments are significant factors driving the fair value. Management uses both internal proprietary models and a third-party model to estimate future commercial mortgage loan prepayments and a third-party model to estimate future residential mortgage loan prepayments. These models have been refined based on current market conditions and management judgment. Future interest rates are another important factor in the valuation of MSRs. Management utilizes market implied forward interest rates to estimate the future direction of mortgage and discount rates. The forward rates utilized are derived from the current yield curve for U.S. dollar interest rate swaps and are consistent with pricing of capital markets instruments. Changes in the shape and slope of the forward curve in future periods may result in volatility in the fair value estimate.
A sensitivity analysis of the hypothetical effect on the fair value of MSRs to adverse changes in key assumptions is presented in Tables 57 and 58. These sensitivities do not include the impact of the related hedging activities. Changes in fair value generally cannot be extrapolated because the relationship of the change in the assumption to the change in fair value may not be linear. Also, the effect of a variation in a particular assumption on the fair value of the MSRs is calculated independently without changing any other assumption. In reality, changes in one factor may result in changes in another (e.g., changes in mortgage interest rates, which drive changes in prepayment rate estimates, could result in changes in the interest rate spread), which could either magnify or counteract the sensitivities.

Fees from mortgage loan servicing, which includes contractually specified servicing fees, late fees and ancillary fees were $.2 billion for both three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 and $.4 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018. We also generate servicing fees from fee-based activities provided to others for which we do not have an associated servicing asset. Fees from commercial and residential MSRs are reported within Noninterest income on our Consolidated Income Statement in Corporate services and Residential mortgage, respectively.
NOTE 8 EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
Pension and Postretirement Plans
As described in Note 11 Employee Benefit Plans in our 2018 Form 10-K, we have a noncontributory, qualified defined benefit pension plan covering eligible employees. Benefits are determined using a cash balance formula where earnings credits are a percentage of eligible compensation and are subject to a minimum annual amount. Any pension contributions to the plan are based on an actuarially determined amount necessary to fund total benefits payable to plan participants.
We also maintain nonqualified supplemental retirement plans for certain employees and provide certain health care and life insurance benefits for qualifying retired employees (postretirement benefits) through various plans. We reserve the right to terminate or make changes to these plans at any time.

NOTE9FINANCIAL DERIVATIVES
We use a variety of financial derivatives as part of our overall asset and liability risk management process to help manage exposure to market (primarily interest rate) and credit risk inherent in our business activities. We also enter into derivatives with customers to facilitate their risk management activities. Derivatives represent contracts between parties that usually require little or no initial net investment and result in one party delivering cash or another type of asset to the other party based on a notional amount and an underlying as specified in the contract.
For more information regarding derivatives see Note 1 Accounting Policies and Note 13 Financial Derivatives in our 2018 Form 10-K.

Further discussion regarding the offsetting rights associated with these legally enforceable master netting agreements is included in the Offsetting, Counterparty Credit Risk and Contingent Features section of this Note 9. Any nonperformance risk, including credit risk, is included in the determination of the estimated net fair value of the derivatives.
Derivatives Designated As Hedging Instruments under GAAP
Certain derivatives used to manage interest rate and foreign exchange risk as part of our asset and liability risk management activities are designated as accounting hedges under GAAP. Derivatives hedging the risks associated with changes in the fair value of assets or liabilities are considered fair value hedges, derivatives hedging the variability of expected future cash flows are considered cash flow
The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. – Form 10-Q71
hedges, and derivatives hedging a net investment in a foreign subsidiary are considered net investment hedges. Designating derivatives as accounting hedges allows for gains and losses on those derivatives to be recognized in the same period and in the same income statement line item as the earnings impact of the hedged items.
Fair Value Hedges
We enter into receive-fixed, pay-variable interest rate swaps to hedge changes in the fair value of outstanding fixed-rate debt caused by fluctuations in market interest rates. We also enter into pay-fixed, receive-variable interest rate swaps and zero-coupon swaps to hedge changes in the fair value of fixed rate and zero-coupon investment securities caused by fluctuations in market interest rates. Gains and losses on the interest rate swaps designated in these hedge relationships, along with the offsetting gains and losses on the hedged items attributable to the hedged risk, are recognized in current earnings within the same income statement line item.
Cash Flow Hedges
We enter into receive-fixed, pay-variable interest rate swaps to modify the interest rate characteristics of designated commercial loans from variable to fixed in order to reduce the impact of changes in future cash flows due to market interest rate changes. We also periodically enter into forward purchase and sale contracts to hedge the variability of the consideration that will be paid or received related to the purchase or sale of investment securities. The forecasted purchase or sale is consummated upon gross settlement of the forward contract itself. For these cash flow hedges, gains and losses on the interest rate swaps and forward contracts are recorded in AOCI and are then reclassified into earnings in the same period the hedged cash flows affect earnings and within the same income statement line as the hedged cash flows.
In the 12 months that follow September 30, 2019, we expect to reclassify net derivative gains of $165 million pretax, or $130 million after-tax, from AOCI to interest income for both cash flow hedge strategies. This reclassified amount could differ from amounts actually recognized due to changes in interest rates, hedge de-designations and the addition of other hedges subsequent to September 30, 2019. As of September 30, 2019, the maximum length of time over which forecasted transactions are hedged is ten years.

Net Investment Hedges
We enter into foreign currency forward contracts to hedge non-U.S. dollar net investments in foreign subsidiaries against adverse changes in foreign exchange rates. We assess whether the hedging relationship is highly effective in achieving offsetting changes in the value of the hedge and hedged item by qualitatively verifying that the critical terms of the hedge and hedged item match at the inception of the hedging relationship and on an ongoing basis. Net investment hedge derivatives are classified as foreign exchange contracts. There were no components of derivative gains or losses excluded from the assessment of the hedge effectiveness for all periods presented. Gains on net investment hedge derivatives recognized in OCI were $36 million and $50 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, compared with $17 million and $47 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively.
Derivatives Not Designated As Hedging Instruments under GAAP

Offsetting, Counterparty Credit Risk and Contingent Features
We generally utilize a net presentation on the Consolidated Balance Sheet for those derivative financial instruments entered into with counterparties under legally enforceable master netting agreements. The master netting agreements reduce credit risk by permitting the closeout netting of all outstanding derivative instruments under the master netting agreement with the same counterparty upon the occurrence of an event of default. The master netting agreement also may require the exchange of cash or marketable securities to collateralize either party’s net position. For additional information on derivative offsetting, counterparty credit risk and contingent features, see Note 13 Financial Derivatives in our 2018 Form 10-K.
Table 64 shows the impact legally enforceable master netting agreements had on our derivative assets and derivative liabilities as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The table includes cash collateral held or pledged under legally enforceable master netting agreements. The table also includes the fair value of any securities collateral held or pledged under legally enforceable master netting agreements. Cash and securities collateral amounts are included in the table only to the extent of the related net derivative fair values.
Table 64 includes over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives and OTC derivatives cleared through a central clearing house. OTC derivatives represent contracts executed bilaterally with counterparties that are not settled through an organized exchange or cleared through a central clearing house. The majority of OTC derivatives are governed by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) documentation or other legally enforceable master netting agreements. OTC cleared derivatives represent contracts executed bilaterally with counterparties in the OTC market that are novated to a central clearing house who then becomes our counterparty. OTC cleared derivative instruments are typically settled in cash each day based on the prior day value.

In addition to using master netting agreements and other collateral agreements to reduce credit risk associated with derivative instruments, we also seek to manage credit risk by evaluating credit ratings of counterparties and by using internal credit analysis, limits and monitoring procedures.
At September 30, 2019, we held cash, U.S. government securities and mortgage-backed securities totaling $1.4 billion under master netting agreements and other collateral agreements to collateralize net derivative assets due from counterparties, and we pledged cash totaling $1.4 billion under these agreements to collateralize net derivative liabilities owed to counterparties and to meet initial margin requirements. These totals may differ from the amounts presented in the preceding offsetting table because these totals may include collateral exchanged under an agreement that does not qualify as a master netting agreement or because the total amount of collateral held or pledged exceeds the net derivative fair values with the counterparty as of the balance sheet date due to timing or other factors, such as initial margin. To the extent not netted against the derivative fair values under a master netting agreement, the receivable for cash pledged is included in Other assets and the obligation for cash held is included in Other liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheet. Securities held from counterparties are not recognized on our balance sheet. Likewise securities we have pledged to counterparties remain on our balance sheet.
The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. – Form 10-Q75
Certain derivative agreements contain various credit-risk related contingent provisions, such as those that require our debt to maintain a specified credit rating from one or more of the major credit rating agencies. If our debt ratings were to fall below such specified ratings, the counterparties to the derivative instruments could request immediate payment or demand immediate and ongoing full collateralization on derivative instruments in net liability positions. The aggregate fair value of all derivative instruments with credit-risk-related contingent features that were in a net liability position on September 30, 2019 was $2.0 billion for which we had posted collateral of $1.4 billion in the normal course of business. The maximum additional amount of collateral we would have been required to post if the credit-risk-related contingent features underlying these agreements had been triggered on September 30, 2019 would be $.6 billion.

NOTE 12 LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We establish accruals for legal proceedings, including litigation and regulatory and governmental investigations and inquiries, when information related to the loss contingencies represented by those matters indicates both that a loss is probable and that the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. Any such accruals are adjusted thereafter as appropriate to reflect changed circumstances. When we are able to do so, we also determine estimates of possible losses or ranges of possible losses, whether in excess of any related accrued liability or where there is no accrued liability, for disclosed legal proceedings (“Disclosed Matters,” which are those matters disclosed in Note 19 Legal Proceedings in Part II, Item 8 of our 2018 Form 10-K and in Note 12 Legal Proceedings in Part I, Item 1 of our first and second quarter 2019 Form 10-Q (such prior disclosure referred to as “Prior Disclosure”)). For Disclosed Matters where we are able to estimate such possible losses or ranges of possible losses, as of September 30, 2019, we estimate that it is reasonably possible that we could incur losses in excess of related accrual liabilities, if any, in an aggregate amount less than $100 million. The estimates included in this amount are based on our analysis of currently available information and are subject to significant judgment and a variety of assumptions and uncertainties. As new information is obtained we may change our estimates. Due to the inherent subjectivity of the assessments and unpredictability of outcomes of legal proceedings, any amounts accrued or included in this aggregate amount may not represent the ultimate loss to us from the legal proceedings in question. Thus, our exposure and ultimate losses may be higher, and possibly significantly so, than the amounts accrued or this aggregate amount.
The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. – Form 10-Q79
As a result of the types of factors described in Note 19 in our 2018 Form 10-K, we are unable, at this time, to estimate the losses that are reasonably possible to be incurred or ranges of such losses with respect to some of the matters disclosed, and the aggregate estimated amount provided above does not include an estimate for every Disclosed Matter. Therefore, as the estimated aggregate amount disclosed above does not include all of the Disclosed Matters, the amount disclosed above does not represent our maximum reasonably possible loss exposure for all of the Disclosed Matters. The estimated aggregate amount also does not reflect any of our exposure to matters not so disclosed, as discussed below under “Other.”
We include in some of the descriptions of individual Disclosed Matters certain quantitative information related to the plaintiff’s claim against us as alleged in the plaintiff’s pleadings or other public filings or otherwise publicly available information. While information of this type may provide insight into the potential magnitude of a matter, it does not necessarily represent our estimate of reasonably possible loss or our judgment as to any currently appropriate accrual.
Some of our exposure in Disclosed Matters may be offset by applicable insurance coverage. We do not consider the possible availability of insurance coverage in determining the amounts of any accruals (although we record the amount of related insurance recoveries that are deemed probable up to the amount of the accrual) or in determining any estimates of possible losses or ranges of possible losses.
Other Regulatory and Governmental Inquiries
We are the subject of investigations, audits and other forms of regulatory and governmental inquiry covering a broad range of issues in our consumer, mortgage, brokerage, securities and other financial services businesses, as well as other aspects of our operations. In some cases, these inquiries are part of reviews of specified activities at multiple industry participants; in others, they are directed at PNC individually. These inquiries, including those described in Prior Disclosure, may lead to administrative, civil or criminal proceedings, and possibly result in remedies including fines, penalties, restitution, or alterations in our business practices, and in additional expenses and collateral costs and other consequences. These inquiries may result in significant reputational harm or other adverse collateral consequences even if direct resulting remedies are not material to us.
Our practice is to cooperate fully with regulatory and governmental investigations, audits and other inquiries, including those described in Prior Disclosure.
Other
In addition to the proceedings or other matters described in Prior Disclosure, PNC and persons to whom we may have indemnification obligations, in the normal course of business, are subject to various other pending and threatened legal proceedings in which claims for monetary damages and other relief are asserted. We do not anticipate, at the present time, that the ultimate aggregate liability, if any, arising out of such other legal proceedings will have a material adverse effect on our financial position. However, we cannot now determine whether or not any claims asserted against us or others to whom we may have indemnification obligations, whether in the proceedings or other matters described above or otherwise, will have a material adverse effect on our results of operations in any future reporting period, which will depend on, among other things, the amount of the loss resulting from the claim and the amount of income otherwise reported for the reporting period.
NOTE 13 COMMITMENTS
In the normal course of business, we have various commitments outstanding, certain of which are not included on our Consolidated Balance Sheet. The following table presents our outstanding commitments to extend credit along with significant other commitments as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

(b)
Represents aggregate maximum exposure up to the specified limits of the reinsurance contracts provided by our wholly-owned captive insurance subsidiary. These amounts reflect estimates based on availability of financial information from insurance carriers. As of September 30, 2019, the aggregate maximum exposure amount comprised $1.3 billion for accidental death and dismemberment contracts, and $.1 billion for credit life, accident and health contracts. Comparable amounts at December 31, 2018 were $1.3 billion and $.2 billion, respectively.
(c)
We enter into standby bond purchase agreements to support municipal bond obligations.
(d)
Includes $.5 billion related to investments in qualified affordable housing projects at both September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.
Commitments to Extend Credit
Commitments to extend credit, or net unfunded loan commitments, represent arrangements to lend funds or provide liquidity subject to specified contractual conditions. These commitments generally have fixed expiration dates, may require payment of a fee, and generally contain termination clauses in the event the customer’s credit quality deteriorates.
Net Outstanding Standby Letters of Credit
We issue standby letters of credit and share in the risk of standby letters of credit issued by other financial institutions, in each case to support obligations of our customers to third parties, such as insurance requirements and the facilitation of transactions involving capital markets product execution. Approximately 98% of our net outstanding standby letters of credit were rated as Pass as of September 30, 2019, with the remainder rated as Criticized. An internal credit rating of Pass indicates the expected risk of loss is currently low, while a rating of Criticized indicates a higher degree of risk.
If the customer fails to meet its financial or performance obligation to the third party under the terms of the contract or there is a need to support a remarketing program, then upon a draw by a beneficiary, subject to the terms of the letter of credit, we would be obligated to make payment to them. The standby letters of credit outstanding on September 30, 2019 had terms ranging from less than one year to six years.
As of September 30, 2019, assets of $1.0 billion secured certain specifically identified standby letters of credit. In addition, a portion of the remaining standby letters of credit issued on behalf of specific customers is also secured by collateral or guarantees that secure the customers’ other obligations to us. The carrying amount of the liability for our obligations related to standby letters of credit and participations in standby letters of credit was $.2 billion at September 30, 2019 and is included in Other liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheet.
NOTE14SEGMENT REPORTING
We have four reportable business segments:
•
Retail Banking
•
Corporate & Institutional Banking
•
Asset Management Group
•
BlackRock
Results of individual businesses are presented based on our internal management reporting practices. There is no comprehensive, authoritative body of guidance for management accounting equivalent to GAAP; therefore, the financial results of our individual businesses are not necessarily comparable with similar information for any other company. We periodically refine our internal methodologies as management reporting practices are enhanced. To the extent significant and practicable, retrospective application of
The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. – Form 10-Q81
new methodologies is made to prior period reportable business segment results and disclosures to create comparability with the current period.
Total business segment financial results differ from total consolidated net income. These differences are 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 asset and liability management activities including net securities gains or losses, other-than-temporary impairment of investment securities, certain trading activities, certain runoff consumer loan portfolios, private equity investments, intercompany eliminations, certain corporate overhead, tax adjustments that are not allocated to business segments, gains or losses related to BlackRock transactions, exited businesses 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.
Financial results are presented, to the extent practicable, as if each business operated on a stand-alone basis. Additionally, we have aggregated the results for corporate support functions within “Other” for financial reporting purposes.
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.
A portion of capital is intended to cover unexpected losses and is assigned to our business segments using our risk-based economic capital model, including consideration of the goodwill at those business segments, as well as the diversification of risk among the business segments, ultimately reflecting our portfolio risk adjusted capital allocation.
We have allocated the allowances for loan and lease losses and for unfunded loan commitments and letters of credit based on the loan exposures within each business segment’s portfolio. Key reserve assumptions and estimation processes react to and are influenced by observed changes in loan portfolio performance experience, the financial strength of the borrower and economic conditions. Key reserve assumptions are periodically updated.

Business Segment Products and Services
Retail Banking provides deposit, lending, brokerage, insurance services, investment management and cash management products and services to consumer and small business customers. Our customers are serviced through our branch network, ATMs, call centers, online banking and mobile channels. The branch network is located in markets across the Mid-Atlantic, Midwest and Southeast.

Our equity investment in BlackRock provides us with an additional source of noninterest income and increases our overall revenue diversification. At September 30, 2019, our economic interest in BlackRock was 22%. We received cash dividends from BlackRock of $344 million and $310 million during the first nine months of 2019 and 2018, respectively. BlackRock is a publicly-traded company, and additional information regarding its business is available in its filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
As more fully described in Note 23 Fee-based Revenue from Contracts with Customers in our 2018 Form 10-K, a subset of our noninterest income relates to certain fee-based revenue within the scope of ASC Topic 606 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).
Fee-based revenue within the scope of Topic 606 is recognized within three of our reportable business segments, Retail Banking, Corporate & Institutional Banking and Asset Management Group. Income recognized from our investment in BlackRock, also a reportable segment, is outside of the scope of the standard. Topic 606 also excludes interest income, income from lease contracts, fair value gains from financial instruments (including derivatives), income from mortgage servicing rights and guarantee products, letter of credit fees, non-refundable fees associated with acquiring or originating a loan and gains from the sale of financial assets.
The following tables present noninterest income within the scope of Topic 606 disaggregated by segment. A description of the fee-based revenue and how it is recognized for each segment’s principal services and products follows each table.

NOTE16LEASES
We lease retail branches, datacenters, office space, land and equipment under operating and finance leases. Our leases have remaining lease terms of one year to sixty-two years, some of which may include options to renew the leases for up to ninety-nine years, and some of which may include options to terminate the leases prior to the end date. Certain leases also include options to purchase the leased asset. The exercise of lease renewal, termination and purchase options is at our sole discretion.
At adoption of ASU 2016-02 on January 1, 2019, we elected to account for the lease and nonlease components of existing real estate leases and leases of advertising assets, such as signage, as a single lease component. Effective January 1, 2019, lease and nonlease components of new lease agreements are accounted for separately. Lease components include fixed payments including rent, real estate taxes and insurance costs and nonlease components include common-area maintenance costs. Generally, we have elected to use the Overnight Indexed Swap rate corresponding to the term of the lease at the lease measurement date as our incremental borrowing rate to measure the ROU asset and lease liability. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet; we recognize lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Certain of our lease agreements include rental payments based on a percentage of revenue and others include rental payments if certain bank deposit levels are met. Our lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. Subleases to third parties were not material at September 30, 2019.
Operating lease assets and liabilities totaled $2.0 billion and $2.2 billion at September 30, 2019, respectively. Finance lease assets and liabilities at September 30, 2019 were not material.
Future undiscounted cash flows on our operating leases are as follows:

(a)
Nonaccrual loans are included in loans, net of unearned income. The impact of financial derivatives used in interest rate risk management is included in the interest income/expense and average yields/rates of the related assets and liabilities. Basis adjustments related to hedged items are included in noninterest-earning assets and noninterest-bearing liabilities. Average balances of securities are based on amortized historical cost (excluding adjustments to fair value, which are included in other assets). Average balances for certain loans and borrowed funds accounted for at fair value are included in noninterest-earning assets and noninterest-bearing liabilities, with changes in fair value recorded in Noninterest income.
(b)
Loan fees for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018 were $49 million and $34 million, respectively. Loan fees for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018 were $120 million and $99 million, respectfully.
(c)
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 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 GAAP. See Reconciliation of Taxable-Equivalent Net Interest Income in this Statistical Information section for more information.

(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.

(b)
On April 4, 2019, our Board of Directors approved the establishment of a new stock repurchase program authorization in the amount of 100 million shares of PNC common stock, effective July 1, 2019. The previous 2015 authorization was terminated as of end of day on June 30, 2019. Repurchases are made in open market or privately negotiated transactions and the timing and exact amount of common stock repurchases will depend on a number of factors including, among others, market and general economic conditions, regulatory capital considerations, alternative uses of capital, the potential impact on our credit ratings, and contractual and regulatory limitations, including the results of the supervisory assessment of capital adequacy and capital planning processes undertaken by the Federal Reserve as part of the CCAR process. In June 2019, we announced share repurchase programs of up to $4.3 billion for the four quarter period beginning with the third quarter of 2019, in accordance with PNC's 2019 capital plan. In the third quarter of 2019, we repurchased 7.5 million shares of common stock on the open market, with an average price of $134.09 per share and an aggregate repurchase price of $1.0 billion.

Internet Information
Our financial reports and information about our products and services are available on the internet at www.pnc.com. We provide information for investors on our corporate website under “About Us – Investor Relations.” We use our Twitter account, @pncnews, as an additional way of disseminating to the public information that may be relevant to investors.
We generally post the following under “About Us – Investor Relations” shortly before or promptly following its first use or release: financially-related press releases, including earnings releases and supplemental financial information, various SEC filings, including annual, quarterly and current reports and proxy statements, presentation materials associated with earnings and other investor conference calls or events, and access to live and recorded audio from earnings and other investor conference calls or events. In some cases, we may post the presentation materials for other investor conference calls or events several days prior to the call or event. For earnings and other conference calls or events, we generally include in our posted materials a cautionary statement regarding forward-looking and non-GAAP financial information, and we provide GAAP reconciliations when we include non-GAAP financial information. Such GAAP reconciliations may be in materials for the applicable presentation, in materials for prior presentations or in our annual, quarterly or current reports.
We may on occasion use our corporate website to expedite public access to time-critical information regarding PNC instead of using a press release or a filing with the SEC for first disclosure of the information. In some circumstances, the information may be relevant to investors but directed at customers, in which case it may be accessed directly through the home page rather than “About Us – Investor Relations.”
The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. – Form 10-Q91

Under these regulations, we may satisfy these requirements through postings on our website, and we have done so and expect to continue to do so without also providing disclosure of this information through filings with the SEC.
Other information posted on our corporate website that may not be available in our filings with the SEC includes information relating to our corporate governance and annual communications from our chairman to shareholders, as well as our corporate social responsibility activities under “About Us – Corporate Responsibility.”
Where we have included web addresses in this Report, such as our web address and the web address of the SEC, we have included those web addresses as inactive textual references only. Except as specifically incorporated by reference into this Report, information on those websites is not part hereof.

Dividend Policy
Holders of PNC common stock are entitled to receive dividends when declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available for this purpose.

The Board presently intends to continue the policy of paying quarterly cash dividends. The amount of any future dividends will depend on economic and market conditions, our financial condition and operating results, and other factors, including contractual restrictions and applicable government regulations and policies (such as those relating to the ability of bank and non-bank subsidiaries to pay dividends to the parent company and regulatory capital limitations). The amount of our dividend is also currently subject to the results of the supervisory assessment of capital adequacy and capital planning processes undertaken by the Federal Reserve as part of the CCAR process as described in the Capital Management portion of the Risk Management section of the Financial Review of this Report and in the Supervision and Regulation section in Item 1 of our 2018 Form 10-K.
