From Bill Demchak, PNC Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer:
"PNC's first quarter results reflected the strength of our balance sheet and the power of our national franchise. During a quarter characterized by heightened market volatility, we grew deposits, increased our capital position and drove strong financial results. At the same time, we controlled expenses well, achieved positive operating leverage and our credit quality metrics remained solid. Looking ahead, PNC remains well positioned to deliver for all stakeholders through the current environment and beyond."

Total revenue for the first quarter of 2023 decreased $160 million from the fourth quarter of 2022 as a result of lower net interest income and noninterest income. Compared with the first quarter of 2022, total revenue increased $911 million primarily due to higher net interest income.
Net interest income of $3.6 billion for the first quarter of 2023 decreased $99 million from the fourth quarter of 2022 driven by two fewer days in the quarter and higher funding costs, partially offset by higher yields on interest-earning assets. Compared to the first quarter of 2022, net interest income increased $781 million as a result of higher interest-earning asset yields and balances, partially offset by higher funding costs.
The net interest margin was 2.84% in the first quarter of 2023, decreasing 8 basis points in comparison with the fourth quarter of 2022 as higher yields on interest-earning assets were more than offset by increased funding costs. Compared to the first quarter of 2022, net interest margin increased 56 basis points reflecting the benefit of higher yields on interest-earning assets.

Noninterest income for the first quarter of 2023 decreased $61 million compared with the fourth quarter of 2022. Asset management and brokerage fees increased $11 million, reflecting the impact of higher average equity markets and increased annuity sales. Capital markets and advisory revenue decreased $74 million driven by lower merger and acquisition advisory fees. Card and cash management fees decreased $12 million reflecting seasonally lower consumer transaction volumes. Lending and deposit services increased $10 million and included increased client activity. Residential and commercial mortgage revenue decreased $7 million largely due to lower results from residential mortgage servicing rights valuation, net of economic hedge. Other noninterest income increased $11 million.
Noninterest income for the first quarter of 2023 increased $130 million from the first quarter of 2022, as a result of business growth across the franchise as well as higher private equity revenue, partially offset by the impact of lower average equity markets.

Equipment expense declined $19 million, primarily due to lower technology expense. Marketing expense decreased $32 million, reflecting seasonality and the optimization of spend. Other noninterest expense increased $11 million and included $25 million from a higher FDIC assessment rate, which was partially offset by continued cost savings initiatives.
Noninterest expense increased $149 million from the first quarter of 2022, due to higher personnel costs, an increased FDIC assessment rate and continued investments in technology and marketing to support business growth.

CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET REVIEW
Average total assets were $562.3 billion in the first quarter of 2023 compared with $557.2 billion in the fourth quarter of 2022 and $550.1 billion in the first quarter of 2022. The increase from the fourth quarter of 2022 was driven by increased loans outstanding and higher Federal Reserve Bank balances. In comparison to the first quarter of 2022, the increase was primarily attributable to higher loan and securities balances, partially offset by lower Federal Reserve Bank balances.

Average deposits for the first quarter of 2023 were $436.2 billion, increasing $1.3 billion from the fourth quarter of 2022 due to higher consumer time deposits, partially offset by seasonally lower commercial deposits. Compared with the first quarter of 2022, average deposits decreased $17.1 billion primarily due to lower commercial deposits reflecting the impact of competitive pricing dynamics. In both comparisons, noninterest-bearing balances decreased, due to the continued shift into interest-bearing deposit products as interest rates have risen.

PNC maintained a strong capital position. Common shareholders' equity at March 31, 2023 increased $1.8 billion from December 31, 2022, driven by the benefit of first quarter net income and an increase in accumulated other comprehensive income, partially offset by dividends paid and share repurchases during the first quarter.
As a Category III institution, PNC has elected to exclude accumulated other comprehensive income related to both available for sale securities and pension and other post-retirement plans from CET1 capital. Accumulated other comprehensive income at March 31, 2023 improved $1.1 billion compared to December 31, 2022, reflecting the accretion of unrealized losses and the favorable impact of interest rate changes on securities and swaps valuations. Accumulated other comprehensive income decreased $3.4 billion from March 31, 2022, as a result of the negative impact of higher interest rates on securities and swaps valuations.
In the first quarter of 2023, PNC returned $1.0 billion of capital to shareholders, reflecting $0.6 billion of dividends on common shares and $0.4 billion of common share repurchases, representing 2.4 million shares. Consistent with the Stress Capital Buffer (SCB) framework, which allows for capital return in amounts in excess of the SCB minimum levels, our board of directors has authorized a repurchase framework under the previously approved repurchase program of up to 100 million common shares, of which approximately 47% were still available for repurchase at March 31, 2023. PNC's SCB for the four-quarter period beginning October 1, 2022 is 2.9%.
Due to recent market volatility and increased economic uncertainty, share repurchase activity is expected to be reduced in the second quarter of 2023 compared to recent prior quarters. PNC continues to evaluate and may adjust share repurchase activity, as actual amounts and timing are dependent on market and economic conditions as well as other factors.
On April 3, 2023, the PNC board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend on common stock of $1.50 per share payable on May 5, 2023.
At March 31, 2023, PNC was considered "well capitalized" based on applicable U.S. regulatory capital ratio requirements. For additional information regarding PNC's Basel III capital ratios, see Capital Ratios in the Consolidated Financial Highlights. PNC elected a five-year transition provision effective March 31, 2020 to delay until December 31, 2021 the full impact of the Current Expected Credit Losses (CECL) standard on regulatory capital, followed by a three-year transition period. Effective for the first quarter of 2022, PNC is now in the three-year transition period, and the full impact of the CECL standard is being phased-in to regulatory capital through December 31, 2024. The fully implemented ratios reflect the full impact of CECL and exclude the benefits of this transition provision.

Provision for credit losses of $235 million in the first quarter of 2023 included the impact of updated economic assumptions as well as changes in portfolio composition and quality. The fourth quarter of 2022 included a provision for credit losses of $408 million.
Net loan charge-offs were $195 million in the first quarter of 2023, decreasing $29 million from the fourth quarter of 2022, due to lower consumer and commercial net charge-offs. Compared to the first quarter of 2022, net charge-offs increased $58 million, driven by higher commercial net charge-offs, partially offset by a decline in consumer net charge-offs.
The allowance for credit losses was $5.4 billion at both March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 and $5.2 billion at March 31, 2022. The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of total loans was 1.66% at March 31, 2023, 1.67% at December 31, 2022 and 1.76% at March 31, 2022.
Nonperforming loans were $2.0 billion at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. Compared to March 31, 2022, nonperforming loans decreased $288 million, due to lower consumer and commercial nonperforming loans.
Delinquencies at March 31, 2023 of $1.3 billion decreased $164 million and $373 million compared to December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2022, respectively. In both comparisons, the decrease was a result of lower consumer and commercial loan delinquencies.

(a) | Dividends are payable quarterly other than Series R and Series S preferred stock, which are payable semiannually. |
(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 generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the Consolidated Income Statement. The taxable-equivalent adjustments to net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2023, December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2022 were $38 million, $36 million and $22 million, respectively. |

CAPITAL RATIOS
PNC's regulatory risk-based capital ratios in 2023 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.
PNC elected a five-year transition provision effective March 31, 2020 to delay until December 31, 2021 the full impact of the CECL standard on regulatory capital, followed by a three-year transition period. Effective for the first quarter 2022, PNC is now in the three-year transition period, and the full impact of the CECL standard is being phased-in to regulatory capital through December 31, 2024. See the table below for the December 31, 2022, March 31, 2022 and estimated March 31, 2023 ratios. For the full impact of PNC's adoption of CECL, which excludes the benefits of the five-year transition provision, see the March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 (Fully Implemented) estimates presented in the table below.
Our Basel III capital ratios may be impacted by changes to the regulatory capital rules and additional regulatory guidance or analysis.

NON-GAAP MEASURES
Pretax Pre-Provision Earnings (non-GAAP) | Three months ended | ||||
March 31 | December 31 | March 31 | |||
Dollars in millions | 2023 | 2022 | 2022 | ||
Income before income taxes and noncontrolling interests | $ 2,047 | $ 1,881 | $ 1,728 | ||
Provision for (recapture of) credit losses | 235 | 408 | (208) | ||
Pretax pre-provision earnings (non-GAAP) | $ 2,282 | $ 2,289 | $ 1,520 |
Pretax pre-provision earnings is a non-GAAP measure and is based on adjusting income before income taxes and noncontrolling interests to exclude provision for (recapture of) credit losses. We believe that pretax, pre-provision earnings is a useful tool to help evaluate the ability to provide for credit costs through operations and provides an additional basis to compare results between periods by isolating the impact of provision for (recapture of) credit losses, which can vary significantly between periods.

Tangible book value per common share (non-GAAP) | $ 76.90 | $ 72.12 | $ 79.68 |
Tangible book value per common share is a non-GAAP measure and is calculated based on tangible common shareholders' equity divided by period-end common shares outstanding. We believe this non-GAAP measure serves as a useful tool to help evaluate the strength and discipline of a company's capital management strategies and as an additional, conservative measure of total company value.
Taxable-Equivalent Net Interest Income (non-GAAP) | Three months ended | ||||
March 31 | December 31 | March 31 | |||
Dollars in millions | 2023 | 2022 | 2022 | ||

Net interest income (Fully Taxable-Equivalent - FTE) | $ 3,623 | $ 3,720 | $ 2,826 |
The interest income earned on certain earning assets is completely or partially exempt from federal income tax. As such, these tax-exempt instruments typically yield lower returns than taxable investments. To provide more meaningful comparisons of net interest income, we use interest income on a taxable-equivalent basis by increasing the interest income earned on tax-exempt assets to make it fully equivalent to interest income earned on taxable investments. This adjustment is not permitted under GAAP. Taxable-equivalent net interest income is only used for calculating net interest margin and net interest income shown elsewhere in this presentation is GAAP net interest income.
