We provide a reconciliation of net interest income as reported under GAAP to net interest income presented on a taxable-equivalent basis in the Consolidated Financial Highlights section on page 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. See Statistical Information-Average Consolidated Balance Sheet And Net Interest Analysis included on pages 61 and 62 of this Report for additional information.

The increase in taxable-equivalent net interest income in both comparisons above reflected the impact of higher average interest-earning assets in 2005 driven by organic growth and the Riggs acquisition, partially offset by higher costs of deposits.

The following factors contributed to the decline in net interest margin for the first nine months of 2005 compared with the first nine months of 2004:

The following factors contributed to the decline in net interest margin for the third quarter of 2005 compared with the prior year third quarter:

In both the first nine months and third quarter comparisons, the factors outlined above more than offset the effect of the increased benefit of noninterest-bearing sources of funds in 2005.

While we expect our net interest margin to remain relatively stable in 2006, we also expect an increase in taxable-equivalent net interest income in 2006 compared with 2005.

P ROVISION F OR C REDIT L OSSES

The provision for credit losses decreased $36 million, to a negative provision of $3 million, for the first nine months of 2005 compared with the first nine months of 2004. The decline in the provision for credit losses was primarily due to the benefit of a $53 million loan recovery in the second quarter of 2005 resulting from a litigation settlement, in addition to continued improvement in asset quality. The improved credit quality reflected a decline in nonperforming loans. The favorable impact of these factors on the provision was partially offset by the impact of total average loan growth in the first nine months of 2005 compared with the prior year period.

For the third quarter of 2005, the provision for credit losses increased $3 million, to $16 million, compared with the prior year quarter. This increase reflected the impact of total average loan growth in 2005 that more than offset improved asset quality.

We expect loan growth to continue to impact the provision during the remainder of 2005 and into 2006. In addition, we do not expect to sustain asset quality at its current level. However, based on the assets we currently hold and current business trends and activities, we believe that overall asset quality will remain strong for at least the near term. See the Credit Risk Management portion of the Risk Management section of this Financial Review for additional information regarding factors impacting the provision for credit losses.

N ONINTEREST I NCOME

Summary

Noninterest income was $3.011 billion for the first nine months of 2005, an increase of $352 million compared with the first nine months of 2004. For the third quarter of 2005, noninterest income totaled $1.113 billion compared with $838 million for the third quarter of 2004. In both comparisons with 2004, higher asset management fees was the largest factor in the increases, driven largely by BlackRock’s acquisition of SSRM in January 2005. In addition, noninterest income in both 2005 periods reflected increases in all other major categories other than net securities losses in the 2005 periods compared with gains in the 2004 periods and slightly lower corporate services revenue in the nine-month comparison.

2004. For the third quarter of 2005, combined asset management and fund servicing fees were $582 million compared with $443 million in the prior year third quarter. The increases in both comparisons reflected the impact of the first quarter 2005 SSRM acquisition and other growth in assets managed and serviced.

Assets under management at September 30, 2005 totaled $469 billion compared with $362 billion at September 30, 2004. The acquisition of SSRM added $50 billion of assets under management during the first quarter of 2005. PFPC provided fund accounting/administration services for $793 billion of net fund investment assets and provided custody services for $475 billion of fund investment assets at September 30, 2005, compared with $667 billion and $418 billion, respectively, at September 30, 2004. These increases were driven by new business and asset inflows from existing customers, as well as comparatively favorable market conditions.

Service charges on deposits increased $12 million for the first nine months of 2005 and $8 million for the third quarter of 2005 compared with the corresponding prior year periods. Although growth in service charges has been limited due to our offering of free checking in both the consumer and small business channels, free checking has positively impacted customer and demand deposit growth as well as other deposit-related fees.

Brokerage fees increased $2 million, to $168 million, for the first nine months of 2005 compared with the prior year period. For the third quarter of 2005, brokerage fees increased $4 million, to $56 million, compared with the third quarter of 2004. The increase in both comparisons was primarily due to higher mutual fund-related revenues during 2005.

Consumer services fees increased $19 million, to $215 million, in the first nine months of 2005 compared with the first nine months of 2004. For the third quarter of 2005, consumer services fees increased $9 million compared with the prior year quarter. Higher fees in both comparisons reflected additional fees from debit card transactions primarily due to higher volumes and the Riggs acquisition, partially offset by lower ATM surcharge revenue from changing customer behavior and a strategic decision to reduce the out-of-footprint ATM network.

Corporate services revenue declined $2 million for the first nine months of 2005 compared with the first nine months of 2004 and increased $27 million in the third quarter of 2005 compared with the third quarter of 2004. Lower net gains in excess of valuation adjustments related to our liquidation of institutional loans held for sale impacted the nine-month comparison with a $44 million decline and the third quarter comparison with a $3 million decline. Our liquidation of institutional loans held for sale is essentially complete. The first nine months and third quarter of 2005 each benefited by the impact of higher net gains on commercial mortgage loan sales, higher fees related to commercial mortgage servicing activities, increased loan syndication fees and higher capital markets revenues compared with the respective prior year periods.

Equity management (private equity) net gains on portfolio investments totaled $80 million for the first nine months of 2005 and $58 million for the first nine months of 2004. Such gains totaled $36 million for the third quarter of 2005 compared with $16 million for the third quarter of 2004.

Net securities losses amounted to $37 million for the first nine months of 2005 compared with net securities gains of $45 million in the first nine months of 2004. For the third quarter of 2005, net securities losses totaled $2 million, compared with net securities gains of $16 million in the prior year quarter. Our discussion under the Consolidated Balance Sheet Review section of this Financial Review of actions taken during the second quarter of 2005 regarding our securities portfolio provides additional information on the 2005 net securities losses.

Noninterest revenue from trading activities totaled $108 million for the first nine months of 2005 and $69 million for the first nine months of 2004. For the third quarter of 2005, noninterest revenue from trading activities was $47 million, compared with $16 million in the prior year third quarter. We provide additional information on our trading activities under Market Risk Management – Trading Risk in the Risk Management section of this Financial Review.

Other noninterest income increased $25 million, to $258 million, in the first nine months of 2005 compared with the first nine months of 2004. Other noninterest income typically fluctuates from period to period depending on the nature and magnitude of transactions completed. Other noninterest income for the first nine months of 2005 included a $16 million gain related to a contribution of BlackRock stock to the PNC Foundation, a transaction that also impacted noninterest expense; a $10 million settlement received in connection with a PFPC contractual matter during the first quarter of 2005; income related to the 2005 SSRM acquisition; and higher dividends and other income related to equity investments. These factors more than offset the impact of the following pretax gains in 2004, as described in more detail in our 2004 Form 10-K:

Other noninterest income increased $55 million in the third quarter of 2005 compared with the third quarter of 2004. Additional income in 2005 related to the SSRM acquisition was the primary reason for the increase, along with the $16 million gain related to the PNC Foundation contribution referred to above.

Treasury management revenue, which includes fees as well as revenue from customer deposit balances, totaled $305 million for the first nine months of 2005 and $274 million for the first nine months of 2004. For the third quarter of 2005, consolidated revenue totaled $105 million compared with $95 million in the third quarter of 2004. The increased revenue in both 2005 periods reflected the longer-term nature of treasury management deposits along with the rising interest rate environment, strong deposit growth, continued expansion and client utilization of commercial card services and a steady increase in business-to-business processing volumes. The acquisition of Riggs also contributed to the revenue growth in 2005, particularly in the third quarter.

Consolidated revenue from capital markets was $113 million for the first nine months of 2005, compared with $96 million in the first nine months of 2004. Consolidated revenue from capital markets totaled $42 million for the third quarter of 2005 and $27 million for the prior year third quarter. Increases in loan syndication fees and client-related trading revenue drove the increase in capital markets revenue in both comparisons.

Midland Loan Services offers servicing, real estate advisory and technology solutions for the commercial real estate finance industry. Midland’s revenue, which includes fees as well as revenue from servicing portfolio deposit balances, totaled $94 million for the first nine months of 2005 and $81 million for the first nine months of 2004. Midland’s revenue totaled $35 million for the third quarter of 2005 compared with $30 million for the third quarter of 2004. The revenue growth was primarily driven by growth in the commercial mortgage servicing portfolio and related services.

Consolidated revenue from equipment leasing products was $52 million for the first nine months of 2005 and $63 million for the first nine months of 2004. For the third quarter of 2005, consolidated revenue from equipment leasing products was $16 million compared with $21 million in the prior year quarter. The declines in both comparisons were primarily due to the interest cost of funding the potential tax exposure on the cross-border leasing portfolio. See Cross-Border Leases and Related Tax and Accounting Matters in the Consolidated Balance Sheet Review section of this Financial Review for further information.

As a component of our advisory services to clients, we provide a select set of insurance products to fulfill specific customer financial needs. Primary insurance offerings include:

We recognized revenue from these products of $46 million in the first nine months of 2005 and $50 million in the first nine months of 2004. Revenue for the third quarter of 2005 totaled $15 million compared with $17 million for the third quarter of 2004. The decrease in both comparisons reflected a decline in annuity fee revenue.

Through our subsidiary company, PNC Insurance Corp., we act as a reinsurer for consumer credit insurance provided to customers of our subsidiaries. Additionally, through PNC Insurance Corp. and Alpine Indemnity Limited, we write, assume and cede insurance for property, workers’ compensation, commercial general liability and automobile liability of PNC and its affiliates.

N ONINTEREST E XPENSE

Year-to-date September 30, 2005 and 2004

Total noninterest expense was $3.191 billion for the first nine months of 2005, an increase of $405 million compared with the first nine months of 2004. The efficiency ratio was 69% for the first nine months of 2005 compared with 68% for the first nine months of 2004.

Noninterest expense for the first nine months of 2005 included the following:

The impact of the Riggs and One PNC initiative costs was reflected in several noninterest expense items in the Consolidated Income Statement.

Noninterest expense for the first nine months of 2004 included a $96 million charge associated with the BlackRock LTIP and conversion-related and other nonrecurring costs totaling approximately $11 million related to our acquisition of United National Bancorp, Inc.

Apart from the impact of these items, noninterest expense increased $106 million, or 4%, in the first nine months of 2005 compared with the same period in 2004. The higher expenses were driven by increased sales incentives and the increased impact of expensing stock options. See Note 1 Accounting Policies in our Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements under Part I, Item 1 of this Report for additional information on our accounting for employee and director stock options.

Third quarter 2005 and 2004

Total noninterest expense was $1.156 billion for the third quarter of 2005 and $981 million for the third quarter of 2004. The efficiency ratio was 69% for the third quarter of 2005 compared with 74% for the prior year quarter.

Noninterest expense for the third quarter of 2005 included the following:

Expenses for the third quarter of 2004 included the $96 million BlackRock LTIP charge referred to previously. Apart from the impact of these items, noninterest expense for the third quarter of 2005 increased $43 million, or 5%, over the prior year quarter.

Excluding costs associated with acquisitions next year, such as the costs added as a result of the Harris Williams acquisition, we expect that total noninterest expense for full-year 2006 will be comparable to our anticipated total noninterest expense for full-year 2005.

Period-end employees totaled 25,369 at September 30, 2005 (comprised of 23,811 full-time and 1,558 part-time) compared with 25,874 at June 30, 2005 (comprised of 24,397 full-time and 1,477 part-time) and 24,218 at December 31, 2004 (comprised of 22,742 full-time and 1,476 part-time). The majority of our part-time employees are in Consumer Banking. The declines compared with June 30, 2005 were primarily due to the impact of the One PNC initiative. The increase compared with year-end 2004 was primarily attributable to increases related to our Riggs acquisition and BlackRock’s acquisition of SSRM, partially offset by a decline in other areas.

E FFECTIVE TAX RATE

Our effective tax rate for the first nine months of 2005 was 29.7% compared with 31.5% for the first nine months of 2004. The decrease in the effective rate for the first nine months of 2005 was primarily attributable to the impact of the reversal of deferred tax liabilities in connection with the transfer of our ownership in BlackRock to our intermediate bank holding company. This transaction reduced our first quarter 2005 tax provision by $45 million, or $.16 per diluted share. See Note 2 Acquisitions included in the Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Report for additional information. This reduction in the effective tax rate for the first nine months of 2005 was partially offset by a $6 million increase in deferred state income taxes, net of the federal income tax benefit, related to the Riggs acquisition recorded during the second quarter.

The effective tax rate for the first nine months of 2004 was favorably impacted by the $9 million tax benefit recorded in the first quarter of 2004 as a result of resolving a BlackRock New York State audit and a $14 million third quarter 2004 reduction in income tax expense following our determination that we no longer required an income tax reserve related to bank-owned life insurance.

For the third quarter of 2005, our effective tax rate was 30.4% compared with 26.9% for the third quarter of 2004. The effective tax rate for each quarter was lower than would otherwise be expected for the following reasons:

Our Consolidated Balance Sheet is presented in Part I, Item 1 on page 40 of this Report.

Higher total assets at September 30, 2005 compared with the balance at December 31, 2004 were driven by the impact of the Riggs acquisition, loan growth resulting from continued improvements in market loan demand and higher securities balances that reflected normal portfolio activity.

An analysis of changes in certain balance sheet categories follows.

L OANS , N ET O F U NEARNED I NCOME

Loans increased $7.0 billion, to $50.5 billion at September 30, 2005, compared with the balance at December 31, 2004. The impact of our Riggs acquisition added $2.7 billion of loans as of September 30, 2005. Improvements in market loan demand, in addition to targeted sales efforts across our banking businesses, drove the remainder of the increase in total loans.

Table of Contents

Commercial loans are the largest category of credits and are the most sensitive to changes in assumptions and judgments underlying the determination of the allowance for loan and lease losses. We have allocated approximately $509 million, or 80%, of the total allowance for loan and lease losses at September 30, 2005 to the commercial loan category. This allocation also considers other relevant factors such as:

Commitments to extend credit represent arrangements to lend funds or provide liquidity subject to specified contractual conditions. Commercial commitments are reported net of participations, assignments and syndications, primarily to financial institutions, totaling $6.8 billion at September 30, 2005 and $6.7 billion at December 31, 2004.

The increase in consumer net unfunded commitments at September 30, 2005 compared with the balance at December 31, 2004 was primarily due to net unfunded commitments related to growth in home equity loans.

Unfunded credit commitments related to Market Street Funding Corporation totaled $1.0 billion at September 30, 2005 and $962 million at December 31, 2004 and are included in the preceding table primarily within the “Commercial” and “Consumer” categories. See the Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements And Variable Interest Entities section of this Financial Review and Note 6 Variable Interest Entities and Note 15 Subsequent Events in the Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Report for further information regarding Market Street.

In addition to credit commitments, our net outstanding standby letters of credit totaled $3.8 billion at September 30, 2005 and $3.7 billion at December 31, 2004. Standby letters of credit commit us to make payments on behalf of our customers if specified future events occur.

Cross-Border Leases and Related Tax and Accounting Matters

The equipment lease portfolio totaled $3.7 billion at September 30, 2005 and included approximately $1.7 billion of cross-border leases. Cross-border leases are primarily leveraged leases of equipment located in foreign countries, primarily in western Europe and Australia. We no longer enter into cross-border lease transactions.

Aggregate residual value at risk on the total commercial lease portfolio at September 30, 2005 was $1.1 billion. We have taken steps to mitigate $.6 billion of this residual risk, including residual value insurance coverage with third parties, third party guarantees, and other actions.

Upon completing examination of our 1998-2000 consolidated federal income tax returns, on June 20, 2005 the IRS provided us with an examination report which proposes increases in our tax liability, principally arising from adjustments to several of our cross-border lease transactions.

The proposed adjustments would reverse the tax treatment of these transactions as we reported them on our filed tax returns. We believe the method we used to report these transactions is supported by appropriate tax law and have filed a protest of the IRS examination findings with the IRS appeals office. While we cannot predict with certainty the result of filing the protest, any resolution would most likely involve a change in the timing of tax deductions which, in turn, depending on the exact resolution, could significantly impact the economics of these transactions. The IRS has begun an audit of our 2001-2003 consolidated federal income tax returns. We expect them to again make adjustments to the cross-border lease transactions referred to above as well as to new cross-border lease transactions entered into during those years. We believe our reserves for these exposures were adequate at September 30, 2005.

Further, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) has issued a proposed staff position to consider whether any change in the timing of tax benefits associated with these types of transactions should result in a recalculation under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. (“SFAS”) 13, “Accounting for Leases,” and whether a lessor should re-evaluate the classification of a leveraged lease when a recalculation of the lease is performed. If the FASB ultimately adopts the guidance as proposed, a cumulative adjustment in the period of change which could be material and future adjustments to earnings could be required. However, under the leveraged leasing accounting rules, any reductions in earnings from the change in timing of tax deductions should be recovered in future years.

In addition to the transactions referred to above, three lease-to-service contract transactions that we were party to were structured as partnerships for tax purposes. These partnerships are under audit by the IRS. However, we do not believe that our exposure from these transactions is material to our consolidated results of operations or financial position.

Securities represented 22% of total assets at September 30, 2005 and 21% of total assets at December 31, 2004. The increase in total securities compared with December 31, 2004 was primarily due to the acquisition of Riggs and normal portfolio activity.

At September 30, 2005, the securities available for sale balance included a net unrealized loss of $277 million, which represented the difference between fair value and amortized cost. The comparable amount at December 31, 2004 was a net unrealized loss of $102 million. The increase in the net unrealized loss at September 30, 2005 reflected the impact of increases in interest rates during the first nine months of 2005, partially offset by the sales of securities during the second quarter of 2005 as discussed below.

We evaluate our portfolio of securities available for sale in light of changing market conditions and other factors and, where appropriate, take steps intended to improve our overall positioning.

As described in more detail in our second quarter 2005 Form 10-Q, in late April and early May 2005 we sold $2.1 billion of securities available for sale and terminated $1.0 billion of resale agreements that were most sensitive to extension risk due to rising short-term interest rates. We also purchased $2.1 billion of securities with higher yields and lower extension risk. These transactions resulted in realized net securities and other losses of approximately $31 million, which are included in our results of operations for the first nine months of 2005.

The fair value of securities available for sale decreases when interest rates increase and vice versa. Further increases in interest rates after September 30, 2005, if sustained, will adversely impact the fair value of securities available for sale going forward compared with the balance at September 30, 2005. Net unrealized gains and losses in the securities available for sale portfolio are included in shareholders’ equity as accumulated other comprehensive income or loss, net of tax.

The expected weighted-average life of securities available for sale was 3 years and 11 months at September 30, 2005 and 2 years and 8 months at December 31, 2004.

We estimate that at September 30, 2005 the effective duration of securities available for sale is 2.6 years for an immediate 50 basis points parallel increase in interest rates and 2.3 years for an immediate 50 basis points parallel decrease in interest rates. Comparable amounts at December 31, 2004 were 2.7 years and 2.3 years, respectively.

L OANS H ELD F OR S ALE

Education loans held for sale totaled $1.7 billion at September 30, 2005 and $1.1 billion at December 31, 2004 and represented the majority of our loans held for sale at each date. We classify substantially all of our education loans as loans held for sale. Generally, we sell education loans when the loans are placed into repayment status. Gains on sales of education loans are reflected in the Other noninterest income line item in our Consolidated Income Statement and in the results for the Consumer Banking business segment.

See “Institutional Banking” in the Business Segments Review section of this Financial Review regarding net gains in excess of valuation adjustments related to our remaining institutional loans held for sale.

O THER A SSETS

The increase of $1.9 billion in “Assets-Other” in the preceding “Balance Sheet Data” table includes the impact of an increase in goodwill and other intangible assets. Goodwill and other intangible assets recognized in connection with the Riggs acquisition totaled $507 million. Goodwill and other intangible assets recorded in connection with the SSRM acquisition totaled $311 million. See Note 5 Goodwill And Other Intangible Assets in the Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Report for further information.

Various seasonal and other factors impact our period-end deposit balances whereas average balances (discussed under the Balance Sheet Highlights section of this Financial Review above) are more indicative of underlying business trends. The increase in deposits as of September 30, 2005 reflected the impact of the Riggs acquisition as well as sales and retention efforts related to core deposits.

Higher borrowed funds at September 30, 2005 were driven in part by the following:

These factors were partially offset by maturities of $750 million of senior bank notes and $350 million of subordinated debt during the first nine months of 2005.

Capital

We manage our capital position by making adjustments to our balance sheet size and composition, issuing debt and equity instruments, making treasury stock transactions, maintaining dividend policies and retaining earnings.

The increase of $.8 billion in total shareholders’ equity at September 30, 2005 compared with December 31, 2004 reflected the impact of earnings and the issuance of shares from treasury in connection with the Riggs acquisition.

Common shares outstanding at September 30, 2005 were 291.1 million, an increase of 8.5 million over December 31, 2004. We issued approximately 6.6 million shares of common stock during the second quarter of 2005 in connection with the Riggs acquisition.

We purchased .5 million common shares at a total cost of $26 million under both our prior and current common stock repurchase programs during the first nine months of 2005, all of which occurred during the first quarter. Our current program will remain in effect until fully utilized or until modified, superseded or terminated. The extent and timing of additional share repurchases under this program will depend on a number of factors including, among others, market and general economic conditions, economic and regulatory capital considerations, alternative uses of capital, and the potential impact on our credit rating. The impact on our capital of the Riggs and SSRM acquisitions, when combined with the capital requirements to expand our business, has restricted and will continue to restrict share repurchases over the next several quarters.
