**ITEM 1 – BUSINESS**

**<u>Business Overview</u>**

The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. is a financial services holding company headquartered in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and one of the largest diversified financial institutions in the U.S. PNC has businesses engaged in retail banking, corporate and institutional banking and asset management, providing many of our products and services nationally. We are organized around our customers and communities for strong relationships and local delivery of retail and business banking including a full range of lending products; specialized services for corporations and government entities, including corporate banking, real estate finance and asset-based lending; wealth management and asset management. Our retail branch network is located coast-to-coast, and we also have strategic international offices in four countries outside the U.S. At December 31, 2025, our consolidated total assets, total deposits and total shareholders' equity were $573.6 billion, $440.9 billion and $60.6 billion, respectively.

We were incorporated under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in 1983 with the consolidation of Pittsburgh National Corporation and Provident National Corporation. Since 1983, we have diversified our geographical presence, business mix and product capabilities through organic growth, strategic bank and non-bank acquisitions and equity investments, and the formation of various non-banking subsidiaries. We primarily conduct our business through our primary domestic bank subsidiary, PNC Bank, a national banking association chartered and located in Wilmington, Delaware. We offer a broad range of deposit, credit and fee-based products and services to serve our customers. Our non-banking subsidiaries engage in activities that are financial in nature, including market-making, securities underwriting, and advisory services and other permissible investment and merchant banking related activities. See Note 22 Segment Reporting for additional details regarding our business segments, products and services.

**<u>Acquisition of FirstBank Holding Company</u>**

On January 5, 2026, PNC completed its acquisition of FirstBank Holding Company, including its banking subsidiary, FirstBank. As of close, FirstBank had $26.4 billion of assets, $16.0 billion of loans and $23.1 billion of deposits. Effective January 5, 2026, FirstBank's financial results are included in PNC's consolidated operations and will be reported in PNC's first quarter 2026 results. Conversion of FirstBank customers to PNC Bank is expected to occur this summer. Until conversion, FirstBank will remain a separate bank subsidiary of PNC. See Note 24 Subsequent Events for additional details on the acquisition of FirstBank.

**<u>Subsidiaries</u>**

Our corporate legal structure at December 31, 2025 consisted of one domestic bank subsidiary, including its subsidiaries, and 52 active non-bank subsidiaries, in addition to various affordable housing investments and historic rehabilitation investments. For additional information on certain of our subsidiaries, see Exhibit 21 to this Report.

**<u>Supervision and Regulation</u>**

The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc., is a BHC under the BHC Act that has elected to be an FHC under the GLB Act. We are subject to numerous governmental regulations, some of which are highlighted below. See Note 19 Regulatory Matters for additional information regarding our regulatory matters.

The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. – *2025 Form 10-K* **1**

------

As a BHC, PNC is subject to regulation under the BHC Act and to comprehensive consolidated supervision, regulation and examination by its primary regulator, the Federal Reserve. PNC primarily conducts its business through its domestic bank subsidiary, PNC Bank, which is a national banking association chartered under the laws of the U.S. PNC Bank is supervised and regulated primarily by the OCC, and with respect to some matters, by the FDIC and the CFPB.

On January 5, 2026, PNC acquired FirstBank Holding Company and its bank subsidiary, FirstBank, a Colorado state-chartered bank. FirstBank is primarily regulated by the Federal Reserve and the Colorado Division of Banking. We expect to merge FirstBank into PNC Bank this summer. Until the merger, FirstBank will remain a separate bank subsidiary of PNC.

Comprehensive examinations by our many regulators consider not only compliance with applicable laws, regulations and supervisory policies of the agencies, but also capital levels, asset quality, risk management effectiveness, the ability and performance of management and the Board of Directors, the effectiveness of internal controls and internal audit function, earnings, liquidity and various other factors.

The federal bank regulators have broad supervisory and enforcement authority with regard to BHCs and banks, including the power to conduct examinations and investigations, which potentially can result in the imposition of significant limitations on our activities and growth. The federal bank regulators generally have broad discretion to impose restrictions and limitations on the operations of a regulated entity and take enforcement action against a regulated entity where the relevant agency determines, among other things, that the operations of the regulated entity or any of its subsidiaries fail to comply with applicable law or regulations, are conducted in an unsafe or unsound manner, or represent an unfair or deceptive act or practice. This supervisory framework, including the examination reports and supervisory ratings (which are not publicly available) of the agencies, could materially impact our operations.

The CFPB is responsible for examining us for compliance with most federal consumer financial protection laws, and the results of the CFPB's examinations (which are not publicly available) also can result in restrictions or limitations on our operations.

We also are subject to regulation by the SEC by virtue of our status as a public company and by the SEC and the CFTC due to the nature of some of our businesses. Our businesses with operations outside the U.S. also are subject to the laws and regulations of the foreign jurisdictions in which they do business.

The scope of the laws and regulations and the intensity of supervision to which we are subject are continually under review. New legislation, administration changes, changes in rules promulgated by federal bank regulators, other federal and state regulatory authorities and self-regulatory organizations, or rescissions, withdrawals, or changes in the interpretation, application, or enforcement of existing laws and rules may directly affect the operations and profitability of our businesses. The more detailed description of the significant regulations to which we are subject included in this Report is based on current laws and regulations and is subject to potential material change. For additional information on the impact of the regulatory environment on us and the financial services industry, see Item 1A Risk Factors in this Report.

There are numerous rules governing the regulation of financial services institutions and their holding companies. Accordingly, the following discussion is general in nature and does not purport to be complete or to describe all of the laws, regulations and policies that apply to us. The regulatory framework applicable to financial services institutions and their holding companies is not intended primarily to protect our shareholders and our non-customer creditors, but rather to protect our customers (including depositors), the DIF, the financial markets, and the U.S. banking and financial system in general.

**Banking Regulation and Supervision**

*<u>Regulatory Capital Requirements</u>*. PNC and PNC Bank are subject to the regulatory capital requirements under the U.S. Basel III capital rules adopted by the Federal Reserve, for PNC, and by the OCC, for the Bank. The regulatory capital rules establish minimum requirements for the ratios of a banking organization's regulatory capital to its risk-weighted assets, referred to as risk-based capital requirements, as well as for the ratios of its regulatory capital to measures of assets and other exposures, referred to as leverage capital requirements.

The federal banking agencies currently tailor the capital, liquidity and enhanced prudential requirements for banking organizations based on the asset size and risk profile (as measured by certain regulatory metrics) of the banking organization. The classification of any bank subsidiary of a BHC generally follows that of its parent BHC. PNC and PNC Bank currently are Category III banking organizations because PNC (i) has more than $250 billion, but less than $700 billion, in consolidated total assets, (ii) is not designated as a GSIB, and (iii) has less than $75 billion in cross-jurisdictional activity. Under the current rules, if PNC exceeds any of these thresholds or becomes a GSIB, PNC and PNC Bank would become a Category I or II institution and be subject to more stringent capital and liquidity standards. PNC's acquisition of FirstBank did not affect PNC's classification as a Category III banking organization.

The regulatory capital rules generally divide regulatory capital into three components: CET1 capital, additional tier 1 capital (which, together with CET1 capital, comprises tier 1 capital) and tier 2 capital. CET1 capital is generally common stock, retained earnings, and

**2**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. – *2025 Form 10-K*

------

qualifying minority interests less required deductions. As permitted, PNC and PNC Bank have elected to exclude AOCI related to both available-for-sale securities and pension and other post-retirement plans from CET1 capital. Additional tier 1 capital generally includes, among other things, perpetual preferred stock and qualifying minority interests, less required deductions. Tier 2 capital generally comprises qualifying subordinated debt and, subject to certain quantitative limits, ACL, less any required deductions from tier 2 capital. The regulatory capital rules limit the extent to which minority interests in consolidated subsidiaries may be included in regulatory capital. Total capital is the sum of tier 1 capital and tier 2 capital.

In calculating regulatory capital, PNC and PNC Bank must deduct a number of components. For example, under the current regulatory capital rules, PNC and PNC Bank must deduct investments in unconsolidated financial institutions, MSRs and deferred tax assets (in each case, net of associated deferred tax liabilities) from CET1 capital to the extent such categories individually exceed 25% of the institution's adjusted CET1 capital. PNC and PNC Bank are required to use the standardized approach for determining risk-weighted assets for purposes of calculating the risk-based capital ratios.

Under the Basel III capital rules, PNC and PNC Bank must maintain a minimum CET1 ratio of 4.5%, a tier 1 capital ratio of 6.0%, and a total capital ratio of 8.0% to be considered "adequately capitalized." As described below, PNC is also subject to the Federal Reserve's CCAR process and must hold a SCB, which must be satisfied solely with CET1. PNC's SCB for the four-quarter period beginning October 1, 2025 is 2.5%. While PNC Bank is not subject to a SCB, PNC Bank is required to maintain a capital conservation buffer in the form of CET1 equal to a fixed 2.5% of risk-weighted assets.

PNC and PNC Bank must maintain risk-based capital above the minimum risk-based capital ratio requirements plus its SCB (in the case of PNC) or capital conservation buffer (in the case of PNC Bank) in order to avoid limitations on capital distributions. As a result, to avoid limitations on capital distributions and certain discretionary incentive compensation payments, PNC and PNC Bank must maintain a CET1 capital ratio of at least 7.0%, a tier 1 capital ratio of at least 8.5%, and a total capital ratio of at least 10.5%.

The Federal Reserve and OCC can also supplement the SCB or capital conservation buffer levels by a countercyclical capital buffer of up to an additional 2.5% of risk-weighted assets. This buffer, which must be held in the form of CET1 capital, is currently set at zero in the U.S.

The regulatory capital rules also require that banking organizations maintain a minimum amount of tier 1 capital as compared to average consolidated assets, referred to as the leverage ratio, of 4.0%. Category III banking organizations also must maintain a minimum amount of tier 1 capital as compared to total leverage exposure, referred to as the supplementary leverage ratio, of 3.0%. As of December 31, 2025, the leverage and supplementary leverage ratios of PNC and PNC Bank were above the required minimum level.

PNC and PNC Bank are not currently subject to the additional CET1 capital surcharge, minimum long-term debt requirement, minimum total loss-absorbing capacity or enhanced supplementary leverage ratio requirements that apply to U.S. GSIBs. In August 2023, the federal banking agencies proposed rules that would require Category II, III, and IV bank holding companies and banks to issue and maintain minimum amounts of long-term debt that satisfy certain requirements. Additionally, Category II, III, and IV bank holding companies would be subject to "clean holding company" requirements, which would prohibit such companies from entering into certain financial arrangements and cap certain liabilities. PNC, as a Category III holding company, and PNC Bank would be subject to the proposed rules. If the long-term debt rules were finalized in their current form, we would expect to achieve compliance through normal course funding. These proposed rules have not been finalized, and their future state is unclear.

Failure to meet applicable capital requirements could subject a banking organization to a variety of enforcement remedies available to the federal banking agencies, including limitations on capital distributions, the issuance of a capital directive to increase capital and, in severe cases, the termination of deposit insurance by the FDIC and the appointment of a conservator or receiver. In some cases, the extent of these powers depends upon whether the institution in question is considered "well capitalized," "adequately capitalized," "undercapitalized," "significantly undercapitalized" or "critically undercapitalized." The thresholds at which an insured depository institution is considered "well capitalized," "adequately capitalized," "undercapitalized," "significantly undercapitalized" or "critically undercapitalized" are based on (i) the institution's CET1, tier 1 and total risk-based capital ratios; (ii) the institution's leverage ratio; and (iii) for the definitions of "adequately capitalized" and "undercapitalized," the institution's supplementary leverage ratio (if applicable). Business activities may also be affected by an institution's capital classification. For example, PNC and PNC Bank must remain "well capitalized" for PNC to continue to take advantage of FHC status as described below.

At December 31, 2025, PNC and PNC Bank exceeded the required ratios for classification as "well capitalized." For additional discussion of capital adequacy requirements, including the levels of capital required to be considered "well capitalized," see the Liquidity and Capital Management portion of the Risk Management section in Item 7 of this Report and Note 19 Regulatory Matters.

The federal banking agencies proposed a rule in July 2023 to implement the final components of the Basel III framework that would significantly revise the capital requirements for large banking organizations, including PNC and PNC Bank. The rule generally would align the regulatory capital elements and required deductions for Category III banking organizations, such as PNC and PNC Bank, with those currently applicable to Category I and II banking organizations and apply a new expanded risk-based approach for

The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. – *2025 Form 10-K* **3**

------

calculating risk-weighted assets. Among other impacts, PNC and PNC Bank would be required to recognize most elements of AOCI in regulatory capital and would be subject to more punitive deductions from CET1 for MSRs, deferred tax assets and investments in certain unconsolidated financial institutions. The agencies are expected to repropose the rule in 2026.

*<u>Stress Testing and Capital Planning</u>*. PNC is subject to the Federal Reserve's capital plan rule, capital stress testing requirements and CCAR process, as well as the DFAST requirements of the Federal Reserve and the OCC.

As part of the CCAR process, the Federal Reserve undertakes a supervisory assessment of the capital planning process of BHCs, including PNC, that have $100 billion or more in total consolidated assets. This capital planning assessment is based on a review of a comprehensive capital plan submitted to the Federal Reserve that describes the Company's planned capital actions, such as plans to pay or increase common stock dividends, engage in common stock repurchase programs, or issue or redeem preferred stock or other regulatory capital instruments during a nine quarter review period, as well as the results of stress tests conducted by both the company and the Federal Reserve under different hypothetical macroeconomic scenarios, including a supervisory severely adverse scenario provided by the Federal Reserve. Based on PNC's performance under the Federal Reserve's supervisory stress tests as part of CCAR 2025, PNC's SCB for the four-quarter period beginning October 1, 2025, is the regulatory minimum of 2.5%.

As a Category III institution, PNC must also conduct a company-run DFAST stress test in even numbered years and release PNC's projections of certain revenue, loss and capital results from the exercise under the agencies' hypothetical supervisory severely adverse macroeconomic scenario and applying the agencies' DFAST capital action assumptions. As part of the DFAST and annual CCAR processes, the Federal Reserve discloses certain revenue, loss and capital results from its supervisory stress testing exercises for each participating firm.

In April 2025, the Federal Reserve proposed to average stress test results over two consecutive years to reduce volatility in the SCB requirement. The proposal would also shift the applicable period of the SCB requirement from October 1 through September 30 of the following year, to January 1 through December 31 in the year following the CCAR exercise. The proposal was intended to be effective for the 2026 supervisory stress test but it has not been finalized.

In addition, in October 2025, the Federal Reserve issued proposals to seek comments on the scenarios for the 2026 supervisory stress test and on the enhanced transparency to its stress testing process. Under the proposals, the Federal Reserve would publish annual stress test scenarios and comprehensive model documentation for public comment. In February 2026, the Federal Reserve published the final scenarios for the 2026 supervisory stress test. The Federal Reserve also stated that the new models will not be finalized in time for the CCAR 2026 process and that the current SCB requirements will continue to apply for all firms, including PNC, until 2027, when new SCB can be calculated based on models that take public feedback into consideration.

*<u>Regulatory Liquidity Standards and Liquidity Risk Management Requirements</u>*. The Basel Committee's Basel III framework also includes short-term liquidity standards and long-term funding standards, the LCR and NSFR, respectively, as implemented by the Federal Reserve and OCC.

The U.S. banking agencies' LCR rules are designed to ensure that covered banking organizations maintain an adequate level of cash and high-quality liquid assets to meet estimated net liquidity needs in a short-term stress scenario lasting 30 days. The NSFR is designed to measure the stability of the maturity structure of assets and liabilities of banking organizations over a one-year time horizon.

As Category III institutions with less than $75 billion in weighted short-term wholesale funding, PNC and PNC Bank are subject to reduced LCR and NSFR requirements, with each company's LCR net cash outflows and NSFR required stable funding (as calculated under the rules) reduced by 15%, thereby reducing the amount of high-quality liquid assets or available stable funding each institution must hold to meet the LCR and NSFR minimum requirements, respectively.

The Federal Reserve also requires PNC to publicly disclose certain quantitative and qualitative measures of its LCR- and NSFR-related liquidity profile, including major components used to calculate the LCR and NSFR and a qualitative discussion of PNC's LCR and NSFR drivers and results.

Additionally, as a Category III institution, PNC must, among other things, conduct internal liquidity stress tests over a range of time horizons, maintain a 30-day buffer of high-quality liquid assets, and maintain a contingency funding plan that meets certain requirements.

For additional discussion of regulatory liquidity requirements, refer to the Liquidity and Capital Management portion of the Risk Management section in Item 7 of this Report.

*<u>Dividend Restrictions</u>.* The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. is a legal entity separate and distinct from its subsidiaries. The principal source of our liquidity at the parent company level is dividends and other capital distributions from PNC Bank. PNC Bank is

**4**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. – *2025 Form 10-K*

------

subject to various restrictions on its ability to pay dividends to PNC Bancorp, Inc., its direct parent, which is a wholly-owned direct subsidiary of The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. PNC Bank also is subject to federal laws limiting extensions of credit to its parent holding company and non-bank affiliates as discussed in Note 19 Regulatory Matters. Further information on bank level liquidity and parent company liquidity is also available in the Liquidity and Capital Management portion of the Risk Management section in Item 7 of this Report.

*<u>Source of Strength</u>.* Federal Reserve rules provide that a BHC is expected to serve as a source of financial strength to its subsidiary banks and to commit resources to support such banks if necessary, including when directed to do so by the Federal Reserve. In addition, Dodd-Frank requires that the Federal Reserve jointly adopt new rules with the OCC and the FDIC to implement this source of strength requirement. The agencies have yet to propose these rules, but they may do so in the future.

*<u>Enhanced Prudential Standards</u>.* Under Federal Reserve rules, PNC and other BHCs with total consolidated assets of $100 billion or more are subject to various enhanced prudential standards related to liquidity risk management and overall risk management. For PNC, these rules, among other things, establish liquidity stress testing requirements (discussed above), limitations on PNC's aggregate net credit exposures to any single, unaffiliated company, and certain oversight and governance responsibilities for PNC's Chief Risk Officer, the Board of Directors and the Risk Committee of the Board of Directors.

The Federal Reserve may continue to develop the set of enhanced prudential standards that apply to large BHCs in order to further promote the resiliency of such firms and the U.S. financial system. For additional information, see Item 1A Risk Factors of this Report.

*<u>Additional Powers Under the GLB Act</u>*. The GLB Act permits a qualifying BHC, such as PNC, to become a FHC and thereby engage in, or affiliate with companies engaging in, a broader range of financial activities than would otherwise be permitted for a BHC. Among other activities, we currently rely on our status as an FHC to conduct merchant banking activities and securities underwriting and market-making activities. PNC's status as an FHC is conditioned upon maintaining certain eligibility requirements for both PNC and its subsidiary depository institutions, including minimum capital ratios, supervisory ratings, and, in the case of its subsidiary depository institutions, maintaining at least a "Satisfactory" rating under the CRA.

In addition, the GLB Act permits PNC Bank to engage in expanded activities through a "financial subsidiary." PNC Bank may also generally engage through a financial subsidiary in any activity that is determined to be financial in nature or incidental to a financial activity by the Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the Federal Reserve (other than insurance underwriting activities, insurance company investment activities and merchant banking). In order to establish a financial subsidiary, a national bank and each of its depository institution affiliates must be "well capitalized" and "well managed" and the national bank and each of its depository institution affiliates must have a CRA rating of "Satisfactory" or better.

If an FHC or a national bank with a financial subsidiary fails to continue to meet the applicable "well capitalized" or "well managed" criteria, the FHC or national bank must enter into an agreement with the Federal Reserve or the OCC, respectively, that, among other things, identifies how the capital or management deficiencies will be corrected. Until such deficiencies are corrected, the relevant agency may impose limits or conditions on the activities of the company or bank, and the company or bank may not engage in, or acquire a company engaged in, the types of expanded activities only permissible for an FHC or financial subsidiary without prior approval of the relevant agency.

In addition, an FHC generally may not engage in a new financial activity authorized by the GLB Act, or acquire a company engaged in such a new activity, if any of its insured depository institutions receives a CRA rating of less than "Satisfactory." A national bank's financial subsidiary generally may not engage in a new financial activity authorized by the GLB Act, or acquire a company engaged in such a new financial activity, if the national bank or any of its insured depository institution affiliates received a CRA rating of less than "Satisfactory."

*<u>Privacy and Data Protection</u>*. PNC is subject to extensive federal and state laws related to consumer privacy and data protection. Federal banking regulators, pursuant to the GLB Act, have adopted rules that limit the ability of banks and other financial institutions to disclose nonpublic consumer information to nonaffiliated third parties. These rules require institutions to provide privacy policy disclosures and, in certain circumstances, allow consumers to prevent disclosure of certain personal information to nonaffiliated third parties. The GLB Act's privacy provisions govern how consumer information is shared within diversified financial services companies and with external vendors. In addition, the Fair Credit Reporting Act regulates the sharing of certain consumer information among affiliated companies and, depending on the type and purpose of the information, provides consumers with the right to opt out of such sharing. The GLB Act and other laws also require PNC to implement a comprehensive information security program. Security and privacy policies and procedures for the protection of personal and confidential information are in effect across all of the organization's businesses and geographic locations. The sharing, use, collection, disclosure, and other processing of these types of information are governed by increasingly stringent and evolving legislation and regulations, the intent of which is to protect the privacy of personal information, including personal financial information. We may become subject to new legislation or regulations concerning cybersecurity and data privacy.

The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. – *2025 Form 10-K* **5**

*<u>Volcker Rule</u>.* The Volcker Rule and its implementing regulations prohibit banking entities from engaging in short-term trading as principal and having certain ownership interests in and relationships with hedge funds, private equity funds, and certain other private funds (together, "covered funds"), unless an exemption or exception applies. For example, the exemptions under the Volcker Rule allow banking entities to trade as principal for securities underwriting, market-making and risk-mitigating hedging purposes, subject to a variety of conditions. PNC maintains compliance programs to comply with the restrictions of the Volcker Rule.

*<u>Federal Reserve and OCC Supervision and Enforcement</u>*. The federal banking agencies possess broad powers to take corrective action as deemed appropriate based on the actions, operations or risk management programs of a BHC, an insured depository institution or their subsidiaries. The Federal Reserve and the OCC have the ability to take enforcement action against PNC and PNC Bank, respectively, to prevent and remedy acts and practices that the agencies determine to be unfair or deceptive. A finding that we have engaged in a deceptive act or practice may have collateral consequences on our ability to rely on certain exemptions in, or take advantage of certain provisions of, the securities laws absent a government waiver of such restrictions.

Moreover, less than satisfactory examination ratings, lower capital or liquidity ratios than peer group institutions, or regulatory concerns regarding management, controls, assets, operations or other factors can all potentially result in practical limitations on the ability of a bank or BHC to engage in new activities, grow, acquire new businesses, make capital distributions or continue to conduct existing activities.

*<u>OCC Heightened Standards</u>.* The OCC has established guidelines setting forth certain heightened risk management and governance standards for large national banks, including PNC Bank. The guidelines, among other things, establish minimum standards for the design and implementation of a risk governance framework, describe the appropriate risk management roles and responsibilities of front line units, independent risk management, internal audit, and the board of directors, and provide that a covered bank should have a comprehensive written statement that articulates its risk appetite and serves as a basis for the framework. In December 2025, the OCC issued a notice of proposed rulemaking that would increase the threshold at which the heightened standards apply from $50 billion to $700 billion in average total consolidated assets.

*<u>Transactions with Affiliates</u>.* Sections 23A and 23B of the Federal Reserve Act and the Federal Reserve's implementing regulation, Regulation W, place quantitative and qualitative restrictions on covered transactions between a bank and its affiliates. Covered transactions include, among other things, extensions of credit, guarantees, and purchases of assets. Transactions with affiliates are also generally required to be on arm's length, market-prevailing terms.

*<u>Extensions of Credit to Executive Officers, Directors, or Principal Shareholders</u>.* The Federal Reserve Act and Federal Reserve regulations also place quantitative limitations and conditions on extensions of credit by a bank to its executive officers, directors, or principal shareholders and their related interests (including any company controlled by such persons). Generally, extensions of credit by a bank to such individuals, companies and related interests must comply with certain individual and aggregate lending limits, as well as procedural and qualitative requirements.

*<u>Debit Card Interchange Fees and Transaction Processing</u>.* The Federal Reserve is required to establish standards for assessing whether the amount of any interchange fee received by a debit card issuer such as PNC Bank is reasonable and proportional to the cost incurred by the issuer, subject to certain adjustments. The Federal Reserve implemented these standards through Regulation II, which limits the interchange fee an issuer may charge based on three components, and remains subject to ongoing litigation. In 2023, the Federal Reserve proposed revisions to the three components of the interchange fee cap. We expect the 2023 proposed rule, if finalized in its current form, will reduce PNC Bank's interchange fee revenue. Additionally, we may become subject to new legislation or regulations concerning our card business that could affect our operations and profitability, such as laws capping credit card interest rates or requiring the use of an additional card network.

*<u>The Bank Secrecy Act and Economic Sanctions</u>.* The BSA requires all financial institutions, including banks and securities broker-dealers, to establish a risk-based system of internal controls reasonably designed to prevent money laundering and the financing of terrorism. As implemented by federal banking and securities regulators and the U.S. Department of the Treasury, the BSA, as amended, requires that certain financial institutions create and maintain a risk-based AML compliance program that is reasonably designed to prevent money laundering and to combat the financing of terrorism, including through suspicious activity reporting, currency transaction reporting, and other similar reporting requirements (e.g., a Financial Crimes Enforcement Network geographic targeting order requiring reporting under certain circumstances); the implementation of appropriate policies, procedures, and internal controls; independent testing; subject matter training; the designation of one or more individuals responsible for coordinating and monitoring ongoing compliance; and appropriate risk-based procedures for conducting initial and ongoing customer due diligence.

PNC is also subject to sanctions laws and regulations administered and imposed by the United States government, including the U.S. Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control ("OFAC") and the Department of State, as well as comparable sanctions programs imposed by foreign governments and multilateral bodies with jurisdiction over PNC's products, services, or activities. Sanctions can be either comprehensive or focused on specific individuals, entities, industry sectors, ownership interests, etc. to accomplish foreign policy and national security goals.

*<u>Executive and Incentive Compensation</u>.* The Federal Reserve and the OCC have provided guidance regarding incentive and other elements of compensation provided to executives and other employees at banking organizations they regulate, both as general industry-wide guidance and guidance specific to select larger companies, including PNC. This guidance is intended to ensure that the incentive compensation practices of covered banking organizations do not encourage excessive risk-taking. Dodd-Frank requires the Federal Reserve, the OCC, the FDIC, the SEC and two other regulatory agencies to adopt regulations governing incentive compensation provided by regulated financial services companies to their executives and other employees. These agencies jointly proposed regulations in 2011 and again in 2016 to implement these requirements. Final regulations have not been adopted.

*<u>Fiduciary Services</u>.* The trust, investment advisory, and other fiduciary activities conducted by PNC Bank also are subject to the OCC's regulations governing the fiduciary activities of national banks, as well as applicable state fiduciary laws. The OCC's regulations, among other things, set standards for the administration of fiduciary accounts, prohibit or govern potential conflicts of interests and establish recordkeeping requirements for fiduciary accounts.

*<u>Acquisitions</u>.* The Federal Reserve's prior approval is required whenever we propose to acquire all or substantially all of the assets of any bank, to acquire direct or indirect ownership or control, subject to certain thresholds, of any bank or BHC, or to merge or consolidate with any other BHC. The Federal Reserve's prior approval is also required for a BHC to acquire direct or indirect ownership or control, subject to certain thresholds, of a savings association or savings and loan holding company, or to merge or consolidate with a savings and loan holding company.

OCC prior approval is required for PNC Bank to acquire another insured bank or savings association by merger or to acquire deposits or substantially all of the assets of such institutions. Approval of the OCC and the FDIC is required to merge a non-bank entity into PNC Bank.

*<u>FDIC Insurance</u>.* The DIF provides insurance coverage for deposits held by PNC Bank, subject to certain requirements and limits. To maintain a statutory minimum ratio of the DIF to insured deposits in the U.S., member institutions, including PNC Bank, are required to pay deposit insurance assessments. Deposit insurance assessment rates are subject to change by the FDIC and may be affected by the overall economy and stability of the banking industry. The FDIC also has the authority to charge special assessments from time to time, including in response to systemic events. For example, in November 2023, the FDIC released a final rule to impose a special assessment to recover losses to the DIF resulting from the systemic risk determination made in March 2023. In December 2025, the FDIC adopted an interim final rule reducing the special assessment rate for the upcoming collection quarter in March 2026. The rule also allows for potential offsets to quarterly deposit assessments if the special assessment amount uncollected ultimately exceeds losses to the DIF. For additional information about the impact of the special assessment, see the FDIC Special Assessment portion of the Executive Summary section in Item 7 of this Report.

*<u>Resolution and Recovery Planning</u>.* PNC is required by section 165(d) of the Dodd-Frank Act and its implementing regulations to periodically submit to the Federal Reserve and the FDIC a resolution plan (including a public summary) that includes, among other things, an analysis of how the company could be resolved in a rapid and orderly fashion if the company were to fail or experience material financial distress. Following review of the plan, the Federal Reserve and the FDIC may jointly impose restrictions on a covered BHC, including additional capital requirements or limitations on growth, if the agencies jointly determine that the company's plan is not credible or would not facilitate a rapid and orderly resolution under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (or other applicable resolution framework). If the covered BHC were to fail to address deficiencies jointly identified by the Federal Reserve and FDIC in a timely manner, it may be subject to more stringent capital, leverage, or liquidity requirements, or restrictions on growth, activities, or operations.

PNC generally must file a resolution plan with the Federal Reserve and FDIC at least once each three-year period, with submissions alternating between a full plan and a plan targeted on certain areas or subjects identified by the agencies. In 2024, the Federal Reserve and FDIC finalized guidance for holding company resolution plans submitted by domestic triennial full filers, such as PNC, under the Dodd-Frank Act. The guidance addresses the Federal Reserve's and FDIC's expectations regarding key areas of resolution based on a firm's resolution strategy. Firms like PNC with a multiple point of entry resolution strategy are required to incorporate more severe plan assumptions and include new required plan content, operational capabilities, and legal entity rationalization, among other requirements. PNC submitted its full resolution plan timely by October 1, 2025. The next targeted plan is due July 1, 2028.

The FDIC also requires large insured depository institutions, including PNC Bank, to periodically submit a resolution plan (including a public summary) to the FDIC that includes, among other things, an analysis of how the institution could be resolved under the FDI Act in a manner that protects depositors and limits losses or costs to creditors of the bank in accordance with the FDI Act. Under a final rule issued by the FDIC in June 2024, most banks with $100 billion or more in assets, including PNC Bank, are required to submit full resolution plans on a three-year cycle, with interim informational supplements due in off years. PNC Bank submitted its insured depository institution interim supplement prior to the submission deadline of July 1, 2025. PNC Bank will submit its next resolution plan to the FDIC by July 1, 2026.

The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. – *2025 Form 10-K* **7**

------

The OCC also has guidelines that establish standards for recovery planning. These guidelines require a covered bank to develop and maintain a recovery plan that is evaluated and updated annually that, among other things, identifies a range of options that could be undertaken by the covered bank to restore its financial strength and viability should identified triggering events occur. In October 2025, the OCC issued a notice of proposed rulemaking to rescind its recovery planning guidelines. Under the proposal, covered banks would no longer be obligated to engage in prescriptive recovery planning activities.

*<u>CFPB Regulation and Supervision</u>*. We are subject to supervision and regulation by the CFPB with respect to a broad range of federal consumer financial laws and regulations, including the laws and regulations that relate to deposit products, credit card, mortgage, automobile, student and other consumer loans, and other consumer financial products and services that we offer. The CFPB has recently issued rulemakings that affect, among other things, fair lending requirements, data collection and reporting requirements for small business lenders such as PNC Bank, and personal financial data rights.

**Securities and Derivatives Regulation**

PNC, as a public company, is subject to the Exchange Act's reporting requirements and related regulations and must file certain reports with the SEC on an ongoing basis. Our registered broker-dealers and investment adviser subsidiaries are subject to the Exchange Act, and the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, respectively, and related rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC. These rules, for example, require that broker-dealers and investment advisers act in a customer's best interest when making investment recommendations to retail customers, which includes managing conflicts of interest, providing required disclosures and exercising a duty of care in making investment recommendations. FINRA is the primary self-regulatory organization for our registered broker-dealer subsidiaries. Our broker-dealer and investment adviser subsidiaries also are subject to additional regulation by states or local jurisdictions.

The SEC and FINRA have active enforcement functions that oversee broker-dealers and investment advisers and can bring actions that result in fines, restitution, a limitation on permitted activities, disqualification to continue to conduct certain activities and an inability to rely on certain favorable exemptions. Certain types of infractions and violations also can affect our ability to expeditiously issue new securities into the capital markets. In addition, certain changes in the activities of a broker-dealer require approval from FINRA, and FINRA takes into account a variety of considerations in acting upon applications for such approval, including internal controls, capital levels, management experience and quality, prior enforcement and disciplinary history and supervisory concerns.

The CFTC regulates swap dealers, other than security-based swap dealers, which are regulated by the SEC. PNC Bank is registered as a swap dealer with the CFTC. Because of the limited volume of our security-based swap dealing activities, PNC Bank has not registered (and currently does not intend, and is not required, to register) with the SEC as a security-based swap dealer.

PNC Bank's derivatives and foreign exchange businesses are subject to the regulations and requirements imposed on CFTC-registered swap dealers, and the CFTC (and for certain delegated responsibilities, the National Futures Association) has a meaningful supervisory role with respect to PNC Bank's derivatives and foreign exchange businesses. Among other things, the CFTC's regulations include rules regarding business conduct standards, documentation, risk management, recordkeeping, reporting and segregation requirements. CFTC rules also require that most standardized swaps be centrally cleared through a regulated clearing house and be traded on a centralized exchange or swap execution facility. Because PNC Bank is a prudentially regulated swap dealer, PNC Bank is also subject to the OCC's capital requirements and margin requirements on certain swaps that are not centrally cleared through a regulated clearing house.

**Regulations of Other Agencies**

In addition to regulations issued by the federal banking, securities and derivatives regulators, we also are subject to regulations issued by other federal agencies with respect to certain financial products and services we offer. For example, certain of our fiduciary, brokerage and investment management activities are subject to regulations issued by the Department of Labor under ERISA and related provisions of the Internal Revenue Code.

**<u>Competition</u>**

We are subject to intense competition from other regulated banking organizations, as well as various other types of financial institutions and non-bank entities that can offer a number of similar products and services without being subject to bank regulatory supervision and restrictions.

Our businesses compete to attract and retain deposits and/or to originate loans with:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Other commercial banks,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Savings banks,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Credit unions,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Consumer finance companies,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Leasing companies,

**8**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. – *2025 Form 10-K*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Investment management firms,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Other non-bank lenders,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Financial technology companies,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Treasury management service companies,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Insurance companies, and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Issuers of commercial paper and other securities, including mutual funds.

In providing asset management services, our businesses compete with:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Investment management firms,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Large banks and other financial institutions,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Brokerage firms,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Financial technology companies,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Mutual fund complexes, and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Insurance companies.

Our various non-bank businesses engaged in investment banking and alternative investment activities compete with:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Commercial banks,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Investment banking firms,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Collateralized loan obligation managers,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Hedge funds,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Mutual fund complexes,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Merchant banks,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Insurance companies,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Private equity firms, and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Other investment vehicles.

Competition is based on a number of factors including pricing, product structure, the range of products and services offered and the quality of customer service. Loan pricing, structure and credit standards are extremely important as we seek to achieve appropriate risk-adjusted returns. Deposit-taking activities are also subject to pricing pressures and to customer migration as a result of intense competition for deposits and investments. Competitors may seek to compete with us through traditional channels such as physical locations or through digital channels such as the internet or mobile applications. We include here by reference the additional information regarding competition and factors affecting our competitive position included in Item 1A Risk Factors of this Report.

**<u>Human Capital</u>**

We place great importance on having the right people in the right roles, with the right skills, and doing their best work. By focusing on the growth and development of our talented team members, we believe we are best positioned to deliver results for our customers. We believe when our employees deliver for our customers, they deliver for our communities and shareholders as well.

PNC devotes substantial resources to managing and developing human capital. Our Board of Directors provides oversight of our human capital management strategies, programs and policies developed by our Chief Human Resources Officer and senior management team and is assisted by our Board's Nominating and Governance and Human Resources Committees. In addition, our Board's Corporate Responsibility Committee monitors management's progress regarding its commitments to inclusive talent practices for employees. Our Management Executive Committee assists and makes recommendations to our Chief Executive Officer and Board of Directors on human capital matters.

Additionally, our Talent & Inclusion Council is co-chaired by our Chief Executive Officer and Culture & Engagement Executive and includes senior leaders from across the organization. The council is responsible for overseeing strategic corporate initiatives that create and sustain an inclusive corporate culture and a talented workforce that is best positioned to serve our diverse customer base.

Employees totaled 55,333 at December 31, 2025. This total included 53,859 full-time and 1,474 part-time employees, of which 26,168 full-time and 1,427 part-time employees were employed in our Retail Banking business.

Part of PNC's ability to compete effectively depends on our ability to attract new employees and retain and develop our existing employees. In support of our employees, our human capital strategies include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Advancing PNC's talent-focused culture by developing strong leaders who exemplify our Leadership Standards, a set of standards designed to hold managers accountable for living our corporate values, enabling change, achieving results, fostering inclusion and developing the best talent and providing them with the tools and insights to effectively manage our people.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Focusing on the development and retention of high performing talent with the relevant experiences, skills and perspectives to best support the diverse group of individuals, families and businesses that we serve across the country.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Supporting all employees with opportunities for professional growth, career mobility and health and financial wellness.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Fostering an accessible and inclusive workplace where all employees and customers can feel welcome, valued and respected.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Supporting a strong ethical culture anchored in our corporate values and doing the right thing for our employees, customers, communities and shareholders.

In managing our employees, we focus on these key factors:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Recruiting, developing and retaining talent*. We believe recruiting, developing and retaining talent starts with our leaders, and we measure our managers against our Leadership Standards. Our talent priority is to invest in the development of our internal talent and to provide career advancement opportunities to our employees. We measure how many open requisitions we fill with internal candidates, participation in early career development programs and turnover. At our first-level and above career bands, we fill approximately 54% of our open requisitions with internal candidates, which has a direct impact on our ability to retain and develop our people. In addition, we hire approximately 400 interns and 375 full-time development program associates each year from our 11 early career development programs that support each of our lines of business and support areas.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Culture and engagement*. We focus on the development and implementation of inclusive strategies that attract, develop and retain talent, while strengthening a workplace culture grounded in living daily our core values (which include customer focus, diversity and inclusion, integrity, performance, quality of life, respect and teamwork). We cultivate a high-performing workforce where everyone can contribute to the success of PNC and that meets the needs of our diverse customer base. We measure employee engagement by regularly conducting employee surveys because we believe that engaged employees have lower attrition rates and improve customer outcomes. In compliance with government requirements and, in some cases, based on employee self-disclosure, we gather information related to the composition of our workforce. Information about our workforce is reflected in our EEO-1 reports, which are posted on our website.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Total rewards*. We are committed to providing competitive compensation and benefits programs as part of our overall strategy to retain and recruit talent. We design our compensation and benefits programs to focus on three key aspects of employee well-being: health, money and quality of life. These programs include competitive base salaries and, depending on eligibility, cash incentive and/or stock-based award opportunities, an Employee Stock Purchase Plan, a 401(k) Plan with employer match, a pension plan, healthcare, life insurance and disability benefits, health savings and dependent care flexible spending accounts, paid time off, paid maternity and parental leave, family care resources, flexible work schedules, a robust wellness program with incentives, family building benefits, employee assistance programs and educational assistance, among others. Additionally, we conduct pay equity analyses to determine if employees are being compensated fairly and consistently across roles.

**ITEM 1A – RISK FACTORS**

We are subject to a number of risks potentially impacting our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. As a financial services company, certain elements of risk are inherent in what we do and the business decisions we make. Thus, we encounter risk as part of the normal course of our business, and we design risk management processes to help manage these risks. For more information about how we manage risks, see the Risk Management section in Item 7 of this Report.

The following are the material risk factors that affect us of which we are currently aware. Any one or more of these risk factors could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. In addition, these risks present other possible adverse consequences, including those described below. These risk factors and other risks we face are also discussed further in other sections of this Report. Thus, the risk factors below should not be considered a complete list of potential risks that we may face.

**Risks Related to the Economy and Other External Factors, Including Regulation**

***Our business and financial performance are vulnerable to the impact of adverse economic conditions.***

Our business and overall financial performance are affected to a significant extent by economic conditions, primarily in the U.S. Declining or adverse economic conditions and adverse changes in investor, consumer and business sentiment generally result in reduced business activity, which may decrease the demand for our products and services or reduce the number of creditworthy borrowers. The ability of borrowers to repay loans is often weakened as a result of economic downturns, higher inflation and unemployment. In addition, adverse economic conditions may limit the availability of, or increase the costs of, capital and labor, erode customer purchasing power, confidence and spending and may also reduce our tolerance for extending credit. Increases in costs or expenses impacting our customers' operations and financial performance, such as the interest rates payable on their debt obligations, could increase our credit risk or decrease the demand for our products and services.

We operate in an uncertain economic environment due to sustained inflationary pressures, including higher prices and lower housing affordability, and fluctuating trade policies (including tariffs), combined with geopolitical tensions. These conditions have led and may continue to lead to turmoil and volatility in financial markets, often with at least some financial asset categories losing value. Financial market volatility could also result from uncertainty about the timing and extent of rate cuts by the Federal Reserve. Any of these effects would likely have an adverse impact on our operations and financial performance, with the significance of the impact generally

The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. – *2025 Form 10-K* **11**

------

depending on the nature and severity of the adverse economic conditions. Even when economic conditions are relatively good or stable, specific economic factors can negatively affect our business and performance. This can be especially true when the factors relate to particular segments of the economy and impact our customers whose operations or financial conditions directly or indirectly depend on good or stable conditions in those segments. For example, underutilization of commercial real estate space, combined with higher interest rates, has harmed some customers' creditworthiness and ability to refinance maturing loans, and decreased the demand for financial services in that sector.

Our foreign business activities and operations continue to be a relatively small part of our overall business. As a result, the direct impact on our business and financial performance from economic conditions outside the U.S. is not likely to be significant, although the impact would increase if we expanded our foreign business and operations more than nominally. We are, however, susceptible to the risk that foreign economic conditions, trade policies (including tariffs) and geopolitical tensions could negatively affect our business and financial performance. Primarily, this risk results from the possibility that poor economic conditions or financial market disruptions affecting other major economies would also affect the U.S.

***The impact of government legislation, regulation and policy and other political factors on the economy could have an adverse effect on our business and financial performance.***

Changes in law or governmental policy affecting the economy, business activity, or personal spending, investing or saving activities may cause consumers and businesses to alter their behavior in ways that impact demand for our products and services. Such changes may also alter the profitability of the transactions in which we engage or result in increased regulatory burden and associated costs. PNC may alter the types or terms of the products and services we offer to reflect such changes. Uncertainty regarding future law or policy may have similar impacts.

Congress and the current presidential administration have introduced and may continue to introduce changes in the laws or policies applicable to us and the agencies that regulate us, including their interpretations of rules and guidelines. These changes may subject financial institutions like us to changes in regulation, supervision and enforcement that are difficult to predict and uncertain for a period of time and may create the possibility of significant impacts on business activity in the U.S. and globally. In addition, the application of some laws may require significant judgment and be subject to differing interpretations. Further, some of the regulations finalized in the prior administration that are applicable to financial institutions were modified, rescinded or withdrawn or are subject to reevaluation, creating further uncertainty.

The impact that these changes may have on our operations or financial condition are discussed in more detail in the Risk Factor headed "As a regulated financial services firm, we are subject to numerous governmental regulations and comprehensive oversight by a variety of regulatory agencies and enforcement authorities. These regulations and their implementation can have a significant impact on our businesses and operations and our ability to grow and expand."

Concern regarding high and rising federal debt levels and federal budgetary matters (including the debt ceiling), or prolonged stalemates leading to total or partial government shutdowns, also can create the risk of economic instability or market volatility, with potential adverse consequences to our business and financial performance.

***The policies of the Federal Reserve and other governmental agencies have a significant impact on interest rates and overall financial market performance, which are important to our business and financial performance.***

The monetary policies of the Federal Reserve, including changes in the federal funds rate, open market operations and balance sheet management, have a significant impact on interest rates, the value of financial instruments and other assets and liabilities, and overall financial market performance and volatility. These policies, including any resulting changes in economic conditions or in investor sentiment, can thus affect the activities and results of operations of financial services companies such as PNC.

An important function of the Federal Reserve is to monitor the national supply of bank credit and set certain interest rates. The actions of the Federal Reserve influence the rates of interest that we charge on loans and pay on borrowings and interest-bearing deposits. Rates of interest can also affect the value of our on-balance sheet and off-balance sheet financial instruments. We cannot control and may not accurately predict the nature or timing of future changes in monetary policies or the precise effects that they may have on our activities and financial outlook or results. In addition, actions by governmental authorities in other countries, including with respect to monetary policy, could impact financial markets and global interest rates, which could affect rates in the U.S. as well as rates on instruments denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, any of which could have potential effects on us as described above. Some of the potential impacts on our business and results of governmental monetary policy are described in Risk Factors under the heading "Risks Related to the Business of Banking."

***As a regulated financial services firm, we are subject to numerous governmental regulations and comprehensive oversight by a variety of regulatory agencies and enforcement authorities. These regulations and their implementation can have a significant impact on our businesses and operations and our ability to grow and expand.***

The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. is a BHC and an FHC, with the Federal Reserve as its primary regulator. PNC Bank is a federally chartered bank, with the OCC as its primary regulator. In addition, our businesses are subject to regulation by multiple other banking, consumer protection, securities and derivatives regulatory bodies. We are also subject to the jurisdiction of criminal and civil

**12**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. – *2025 Form 10-K*

------

enforcement authorities. As a result, we are subject to numerous laws and regulations intended to promote the safety and soundness of financial institutions, the stability of the U.S. banking and financial system (including protection of the DIF)), the transparency and liquidity of financial markets, and consumer protection that are not primarily intended to protect PNC security holders. We are also subject to foreign regulation to a limited extent as a result of our business activities outside the U.S.

Applicable laws and regulations restrict our permissible activities and require compliance with provisions designed to protect loan, deposit, brokerage, fiduciary, and other customers, and for the protection of customer information, among other things. We also are subject to laws and regulations designed to combat money laundering and terrorist financing, and restrict transactions with persons, companies or foreign governments designated by U.S. authorities. Over time, the scope of the laws and regulations affecting our businesses, as well as the number of requirements or limitations imposed by legislative or regulatory actions, has increased, and we expect to continue to face substantial regulatory oversight and new or revised regulatory requirements or initiatives. As we expand our product and service offerings into additional markets, domestic or foreign, either through organic growth or acquisition, we have faced and will continue to face increases in state or foreign regulation affecting our operations. Different approaches to regulation by different jurisdictions, including potentially conflicting federal and state regulations or state level regulations where we operate, could materially increase our compliance costs or risks of non-compliance. Legislative or regulatory actions can result in increased compliance costs, reduced business opportunities, or requirements and limitations on how we conduct our business. In particular, the financial services industry continues to face heightened scrutiny, including with respect to BSA/AML, know-your-customer and export and sanctions compliance requirements, consumer compliance and protection matters, and capital, liquidity and resolution planning. Although the presidential administration has indicated an intent to pursue the regulation of the financial services industry differently than was the case under the previous administration, there is uncertainty regarding the direction this administration will continue to take and its ability to implement its policies and objectives, as well as the ultimate impact on potential new regulatory initiatives and the enforcement of existing laws and regulations. It is possible the expected changes in regulation do not occur or are reversed by a subsequent administration, or the regulatory measures that are ultimately enacted deliver significant competitive advantages to financial services that are structured differently or serve different markets than PNC.

Federal banking regulators possess substantial supervisory and enforcement powers and have assumed an active oversight, examination and enforcement role across the financial services industry. The results of supervisory or examination activities by our regulators, including actual or perceived compliance failures, could result in limitations on our ability to enter into certain transactions, engage in new activities, expand geographically, make acquisitions or obtain necessary regulatory approvals in connection therewith, or otherwise require us to modify our businesses practices in a manner that materially impacts our financial condition or results of operations. These activities also could result in significant fines, penalties or required corrective actions, some of which could be expensive, difficult to implement or materially impact our business or financial condition. In addition, another financial institution's violation of law or regulation may give rise to an investigation of the same or similar activities of PNC. Further, the Federal Reserve requires a BHC to act as a source of financial and managerial strength for its subsidiary banks. The Federal Reserve could require PNC to commit resources to PNC Bank when doing so is not otherwise in the interests of PNC or its shareholders or creditors.

We also rely on third parties who may expose us to compliance risk. A failure to comply with regulatory requirements or deficiencies in risk management practices could be incorporated in our confidential supervisory ratings, which could limit PNC's ability to expand or require additional approvals before engaging in certain business activities. See the immediately following Risk Factor for a discussion of risks associated with capital and liquidity regulation and the Supervision and Regulation section in Item 1 of this Report and Note 19 Regulatory Matters for more information concerning the regulation of PNC.

***We are subject to regulatory capital and liquidity standards that affect our business, operations and ability to pay dividends or otherwise return capital to shareholders.***

PNC and PNC Bank are subject to regulatory capital and liquidity requirements established by the Federal Reserve and the OCC, respectively. Requirements to maintain specified levels of capital and liquidity, and regulatory expectations as to the quality of our capital and liquidity, impact our business activities and may prevent us from taking advantage of opportunities in the best interest of shareholders or force us to take actions contrary to their interests. For example, PNC's ability to pay or increase dividends or otherwise return capital to shareholders is subject to PNC's compliance with its SCB, which is determined through the Federal Reserve's CCAR process. The Federal Reserve can also impose additional limitations on capital distributions, such as limitations on distributions during times of economic stress. In addition, dividends or other capital distributions from PNC Bank and, to a lesser extent, non-bank subsidiaries are PNC's principal source of funds to, among other things, pay dividends on and make repurchases of its capital stock. Many of our subsidiaries are subject to laws that restrict dividend payments or authorize regulatory bodies to prohibit or limit dividends to PNC. Limitations on PNC's ability to receive dividends from its subsidiaries, including PNC Bank, could have a material adverse effect on its liquidity and ability to pay dividends on and make repurchases of its capital stock, especially to the extent that PNC must first service any outstanding debt obligations. Capital and liquidity requirements may also impact the amount and type of loans we make. We may be constrained in our ability to expand, either organically or through acquisitions. We may be forced to sell or refrain from acquiring assets where the capital requirements appear inconsistent with the assets' underlying risks. In addition, liquidity standards require us to maintain holdings of highly liquid short-term investments, thereby reducing our ability to invest in longer-term or less liquid assets, even if more desirable from an earnings, balance sheet or interest rate risk management perspective.

The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. – *2025 Form 10-K* **13**

------

Regulatory capital and liquidity requirements are subject to review and revision by the Basel Committee and the U.S. banking agencies. Although the federal banking agencies issued a proposed rule in July 2023 to implement the final components of the Basel III framework, the status of this rule, and potential revisions to the rule, remain uncertain. More information is discussed in the Supervision and Regulation section in Item 1 of this Report and the Liquidity and Capital Management portion of the Risk Management section in Item 7 of this Report.

***Our ability to operate our business could be impaired if our liquidity is unexpectedly constrained.***

Our liquidity could be impaired as a result of unanticipated outflows of cash or collateral, unexpected loss of consumer deposits or higher than anticipated draws on lending-related commitments, an inability to sell assets (or to sell assets at favorable times or prices), a default by a counterparty, our inability to access other sources of liquidity, including from sources that have historically been available or through the capital markets due to unforeseen market dislocations or interruptions, or a lack of market or customer confidence in PNC or financial institutions in general. Many of the above conditions and factors may be caused by events for which we have little or no control. In addition, if access to stable and lower-cost sources of funding is reduced, alternative sources of funding could be more expensive and limited in availability. The increased speed with which information is disseminated, through traditional or social media, could increase the speed or severity of liquidity pressures caused by, for example, negative news about PNC's or other financial institutions' actual or alleged financial prospects or safety and soundness. A negative impact on our liquidity would likely limit our ability to support our operations and fund outstanding liabilities as well as meet regulatory expectations, which would adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. For information on our liquidity management, see the Liquidity and Capital Management portion of the Risk Management section in Item 7 of this Report.

***A downgrade in our credit ratings could significantly impact our liquidity, funding costs and access to the capital markets.***

Our credit ratings are based on a number of factors, including the financial strength of PNC and PNC Bank, and factors outside of our control, such as conditions affecting the financial services industry generally. Reductions in one or more of our credit ratings could adversely affect our ability to borrow funds, increase our cost of capital and limit the number of investors or counterparties willing to do business with us. For example, downgrades could negatively impact our right to continue to service mortgages and hold related escrows and reserves. Downgrades could also adversely affect our ability to attract or retain customers, including deposits. In addition, a downgrade in our credit ratings could trigger obligations to make cash or collateral payments under derivative contracts with certain counterparties. There can be no assurance that we will maintain our current ratings and outlooks. For information on our credit ratings and outlooks, see the Liquidity and Capital Management portion of the Risk Management section in Item 7 of this Report.

***Privacy and personal data rights initiatives have imposed and will continue to impose additional operational burdens on PNC, and they may limit our ability to pursue desirable business initiatives and increase the risks associated with any future gathering, maintenance, use, transmission and other processing of personal information.***

Legislative and regulatory efforts to protect the privacy and enhance the portability of personal data have evolved over time. Individuals whose personal information may be protected by law may include our customers, prospective customers, job applicants, employees and third parties. These initiatives, among other things, limit how companies can gather, maintain, use, transmit and otherwise process personal data and impose obligations on companies in their management of such data, including requiring companies like PNC to make available to consumers and authorized third parties certain data relating to transactions and accounts and establishing obligations for accessing such data. Financial services companies such as PNC necessarily gather, maintain, use, transmit and otherwise process a significant amount of personal data. These types of initiatives increase compliance complexity and related costs, may result in significant financial penalties for compliance failures, and may limit our ability to develop new products or respond to technological changes. This is particularly true as we expand our business and operations into new markets. Also, we are, or may become, subject to evolving and developing data privacy and security laws and regulations in other jurisdictions, including foreign jurisdictions even where our presence in such jurisdictions is minimal. Such legal and regulatory requirements also could heighten the reputational impact of actual or perceived misuses of personal data by us, our vendors or others who gain unauthorized access to our personal data. Other jurisdictions may adopt similar requirements that impose different and potentially inconsistent compliance burdens. The impacts will be greater to the extent requirements vary across jurisdictions.

***Climate-related risks could adversely affect our business and performance, including indirectly through impacts on our customers.***

There continues to be concern, including on the part of certain stakeholders and in certain jurisdictions where we do business or have operations, regarding climate-related risks and impacts (including physical risk and transition risk). These concerns have led and may continue to lead to efforts to mitigate those impacts. We and our customers may face cost increases, asset value reductions, the reduced availability of insurance or sufficient insurance to cover losses, operations disruptions and changes and other impacts because of climate change (including because of the increased frequency or severity of acute weather events and long-term shifts in the climate) and related governmental actions or societal responses to climate change. The impact on our customers will likely vary depending on their specific attributes, including their reliance on or role in carbon intensive activities and their transition plans, as well as their exposure to the effects of climate change. Consumers and businesses may also change their behaviors because of these concerns which creates transition risk for PNC arising from adjusting to these concerns. PNC and its customers will need to respond to any new laws and regulations as well as any changes in consumer and business preferences related to climate change. Among the impacts to PNC could be a drop in demand for our products and services, particularly in certain sectors if our products or services do

**14**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. – *2025 Form 10-K*

------

not support the environmental goals of our customers, or increased losses due to the impact of climate change on the collateral that secures customer borrowings. Our risk management needs to continue to evolve, or it may not be effective in identifying, measuring, monitoring and controlling climate risk exposure, particularly given that the timing, nature and severity of the impacts of climate change may not be predictable.

Additionally, the federal government has altered and may continue to alter climate policies or requirements in a way that conflicts with certain state-level policies or investor expectations. Such changes may present risk to PNC due to inconsistent expectations, requirements or costs. Environmental regulations or changes in the supply, demand or available sources of energy or other resources may affect the availability or cost of goods and services necessary to run our business and our customers' businesses.

We have been and may continue to be subject to conflicting pressure from stakeholders and activists regarding how or when we take climate-related risks and impacts into account in our business practices or risk management. Further, there is ongoing scrutiny of climate-related policies, goals, including our use of and ability to achieve them, and disclosures, as well as conflicting pressure regarding the way in which climate may or should be considered by the financial sector, which could result in additional costs, reputational harm as a result of public sentiment, litigation and regulatory scrutiny (including from U.S. federal and state governments, policymakers and regulators), litigation and reduced investor and stakeholder confidence. The Risk Factor headed "We are at risk of an adverse impact on our business due to damage to our reputation" further discusses risks associated with our management of these matters.

**Risks Related to the Use of Technology**

***The use of technology is critical to our ability to maintain or enhance the competitiveness of our businesses.***

As a large financial services company, we handle a substantial volume of customer and other financial transactions. As a result, we rely heavily on information systems to conduct our business and to process, record, monitor and report on our transactions and those of our customers. Over time, we have seen more customer usage of technological solutions for financial needs as well as higher expectations of customers and regulatory requirements regarding effective and safe systems. As a result of these factors, the financial services industry continues to undergo rapid technological change with frequent introductions of new technology-driven products and services. Examples include expanded use of cloud computing, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning, biometric authentication, voice and natural language, data privacy and security enhancements and increased online and mobile device interaction with customers, including innovative ways that customers can manage their accounts.

In response to actual and anticipated customer behavior and expectations, as well as competitive pressures, we continue to invest in technology. We seek to automate functions previously performed manually, facilitate the ability of customers to engage in financial transactions and otherwise enhance the customer experience with respect to our products and services. This effort has involved and is likely to continue to involve the expenditure of considerable amounts of funds and other resources, which could be constrained to the extent that sustained adverse economic conditions and other factors described elsewhere in these Risk Factors negatively impact our business or financial performance. A failure to maintain or enhance our competitive position with respect to technology, whether because we fail to anticipate customer expectations, because our technological developments fail to perform as desired or are not rolled out in a timely manner, or because we fail to keep pace with our competitors, would likely cause us to lose market share or incur additional expense. Our ability to maintain or enhance our technological position is in part dependent on our ability to attract and retain talented employees.

***Our use of technology is dependent on having the right to use its underlying intellectual property.***

In some cases, we develop internally the intellectual property embedded in the technology we use. In others, we or our vendors license the use of intellectual property from others. Where we rely on access to third-party intellectual property, whether now or in the future, it may not be available to us on commercially reasonable terms or at all. If we fail to comply with any applicable obligations under our license agreements, or another person or entity were deemed to own intellectual property rights infringed, misappropriated or otherwise violated by our activities, we could be responsible for significant damages covering past activities and substantial fees to continue to engage in these types of activities. Our third-party licensors may also have the right to terminate the license, which may cause us to lose valuable rights, and could disrupt our operations. It also is possible that we could be prevented from using technology important to our business for at least some period of time. In such circumstances, there may be no alternative technology for us to use or it might be expensive to obtain. We could also suffer significant reputational damage in these circumstances. Protections offered by those from whom we license technology against these risks may be inadequate to cover any losses in full, and the measures we take to obtain, enforce and defend our intellectual property rights may not be successful in every jurisdiction or prevent infringement, misappropriation or other violation of our intellectual property rights. Over time, there have been and continue to be instances where technology used by PNC has been alleged to have infringed, misappropriated or otherwise violated intellectual property rights held by others, and, in some cases, we have suffered related losses. In certain situations, we may be compelled to engage in intellectual property-related litigation to enforce or defend our intellectual property rights, which may incur significant expenses and may be perceived negatively by customers or industry peers.

The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. – *2025 Form 10-K* **15**

***We could suffer a material adverse impact from failures and interruptions in the effective operation of our technology.***

The need to ensure proper functioning and resiliency of our information and communications systems and other technology has become more important and challenging, and the costs involved in that effort continue to be high. Our ability to create, obtain, maintain and report on information in an accurate, timely and secure manner is a foundational component of our business. Effective management of our expanded digital products and services, geographic footprint and dispersed workforce heightens our need for secure, reliable and adequate information and communication systems and other technology. The risks of failures and interruptions result from a variety of factors. We are vulnerable to the impact of failures and interruptions of our technology to operate as needed or intended. Failures and interruptions leading to materially adverse impacts could include those resulting from human error, unexpected transaction volumes, or overall security, design or performance issues. In addition, our ability to use our technology effectively could be impacted due to design flaws, software bugs, errors, hardware failures, outages, bad weather, disasters, bad actors, terrorism, civil unrest, military conflict and the like. Such events could affect our technology directly or limit our use due to effects on key underlying infrastructure. Although we regularly update and replace technology that we depend on as our needs evolve and technology improves, we continue to utilize some older technology that may not be as reliable as newer ones. In addition, the implementation of and transition to new or updated technology creates risks related to associated timing and costs, disruptions in functionality for us or for customers, including the ability to perform functions critical to our business and operations, and longer-term failures to achieve desired improvements. Our ability to maintain, timely update and replace technology can become more challenging as the speed, frequency, volume, interconnectivity and complexity of information on technology increases. In some cases, the risk results from the potential for bad acts on the part of others, discussed in more detail in the Risk Factor headed "We are vulnerable to the risk of cyber attacks and breaches affecting the functioning of technology or the confidentiality of information that could adversely affect our customers and our business."

We rely on technology maintained by other companies. We use other companies both to provide products and services directly to us and to assist us in providing products and services to our customers. Others provide the infrastructure that supports, for example, communications, payment, clearing and settlement systems, or information processing and storage. These companies range from those providing highly sophisticated information processing to those that provide fundamental services, such as electric power and telecommunications. In some cases, these other companies themselves utilize third parties to support their delivery of products and services to us and our customers. Technology maintained by or for these other companies is generally subject to many of the same risks we face with respect to our technology and thus their issues could have a negative impact on PNC. We have less ability to provide oversight over other companies' technology. Any delays in receiving timely information from impacted companies upon whom we rely can affect our ability to detect, mitigate and remediate any failures or interruptions, including our ability to fully meet applicable disclosure requirements for a given incident. We may also be held responsible for failures and interruptions, including our ability to fully meet applicable disclosure requirements for a given incident. We may also be held responsible for failures and interruptions attributed to such other companies upon whom we rely as they relate to the information we share with them. We also face a risk that such other companies may be unable or unwilling to continue to provide products or services to meet our current or future needs, including in an efficient, cost-effective or favorable manner. Any transition to alternative products or services may be difficult to implement, may cause us to incur significant time and expense and may disrupt or degrade our ability to deliver our products and services.

The occurrence of any failure or interruption of any of our information or communications systems or other system, or those of other companies on which we rely, including those where there is not a reasonably available alternative, could result in a wide variety of adverse consequences to us. This risk is greater if the issue is widespread, extends for a significant period of time, or results in financial losses to our customers. The consequences include our ability to use our accounting, deposit, loan, payment and other systems, errors in transactions or impaired system functionality with customers, vendors or other parties, damage to our reputation or a loss of customer business (which could occur even if the negative impact on customers was de minimis) and litigation or additional regulatory scrutiny relating to such events (which in turn could lead to liability or other sanctions, including fines and penalties or reimbursement of adversely affected customers). In order to address ongoing and future risks, we may need to expend significant resources to support protective security measures and investigate, mitigate and remediate any vulnerabilities of our technology. Even if we do not suffer any material adverse consequences as a result of events affecting us directly, failures or interruptions at financial institutions, whether at PNC or others, could lead to a general loss of customer confidence in financial institutions, including us, and broadly increase legislative, regulatory and customer concerns regarding the functioning, safety and security of such technology. In that case, we would expect to incur even higher levels of costs with respect to prevention, mitigation and remediation of these risks.

***We are vulnerable to the risk of cyber attacks and breaches affecting the functioning of technology or the confidentiality of information that could adversely affect our customers and our business.***

Most corporate and commercial financial transactions are now handled electronically, and our customers increasingly use online access as well as mobile and cloud technologies to access our products and services. The ability to conduct business with us in this manner depends on the gathering, maintenance, use, transmission and other processing of vast amounts of digital information in electronic form. As a result, in the ordinary course of business, we gather, maintain, use, transmit and otherwise process vast amounts of digital information about us, our customers and our employees. This information tends to be confidential or proprietary and much of it is highly sensitive and personal. Such confidential, proprietary, sensitive and personal information includes information sufficient

**16**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. – *2025 Form 10-K*

to support identity theft and includes personal health information, as well as information regarding business plans and financial performance that has not been made public. As a result, efforts by bad actors to engage in various types of cyber attacks and breaches, including by way of computer viruses, hacking, ransomware and other malware, denial of service attacks, credential staffing, phishing, social engineering, account takeovers, insider threats and supply chain attacks pose serious risks to our business and reputation.

We are faced with ongoing, nearly continual, efforts by others to breach data security at financial institutions or with respect to financial transactions. The effectiveness of these efforts may be enhanced using AI. These efforts may be to obtain access to confidential information, often with the intent of stealing from or defrauding us or our customers, or to disrupt our ability to conduct our business, including by destroying or impairing access to information gathered, maintained, used, transmitted or otherwise processed by us. Some of these involve efforts to enter our technology directly by going through or around our security protections. Others involve the use of social engineering schemes to gain access to confidential information from our employees, customers or vendors. The modernization of the payment systems, including near real-time movement solutions, increases the complexity of preventing and detecting these attacks and recovering fraudulent transactions. Our risk and exposure to cyber attacks and breaches is heightened because of our expanded digital products and services, geographic footprint and dispersed workforce, which results in more access points to our network. The same risks are presented by attacks potentially affecting information held by third parties on our behalf or accessed by third parties, including those offering financial applications, on behalf of our customers. These risks also arise when third parties with whom we do business, or their vendors or other entities with whom they do business, are themselves subject to cyber attacks and breaches, which has impacted our business and may do so in the future. Our ability to protect confidential information is even more limited with respect to such information gathered, maintained, used, transmitted or otherwise processed by these parties. For example, we are likely to be limited in our ability to identify and quickly resolve cyber attacks and breaches that may impact our business the further removed an entity is from our business, such as when a cyber attack or other data security breach occurs at vendors of our vendors. We may suffer reputational damage or legal liability for unauthorized access to customer information gathered, maintained, used, transmitted or otherwise processed by other parties, even if we were not responsible for preventing such access and had no reasonable way of preventing it.

Our customers often use their own devices, such as computers, smartphones and tablets, to do business with us and may provide their customer information (including passwords and other confidential information) to a third party in connection with obtaining services from that third party, including those offering financial applications. Although we take steps to provide safety and security for our customers' transactions with us and their customer information, to the extent they utilize their own devices or provide third parties access to their accounts, our ability to assure such safety and security is necessarily limited. These risks are heightened as we and others continue to expand mobile applications, cloud solutions and other internet-based financial product offerings. For example, a number of our customers use financial applications to help manage their finances and investments, including through the aggregation of banking or other financial information that may require our customer to provide their secure banking credentials or account-identifying information to the financial application to aggregate this financial data. In some instances, third-party data aggregators are used by the financial application to access customers' accounts and obtain the customers' data and may be obtaining secure banking credentials or account-identifying information from our customers which has the potential to facilitate fraud if it is not properly protected. This has resulted in incidences of fraud, including automated clearing house fraud, credit card fraud and wire fraud, enabled through the use of synthetic identities and through account takeovers via these platforms. In addition, transactions by customers on financial applications that facilitate payments and fund transfers have also been fraudulently induced. These transactions occur when a customer authorizes payment to a recipient that fraudulently induced the customer into transferring a payment to such recipient. PNC has and may continue to face increased financial exposure due to activity associated with the increased use of these applications and data aggregators. Even where PNC does not have financial exposure for losses, PNC and the third parties with whom we do business could suffer increased reputational harm or regulatory scrutiny when such losses occur.

As our customers regularly use PNC-issued credit and debit cards to pay for transactions with retailers and other businesses, there is also the risk of cyber attacks and other data security breaches at those other businesses covering PNC account information. When our customers use PNC-issued cards to make purchases from those businesses, card account information often is provided to such businesses. If a business's systems that gather, maintain, use, transmit and otherwise process card account information are subject to a cyber attack or other data security breach, holders of our cards who have made purchases from that business may experience fraud on their card accounts. We can be responsible for reimbursing our customers for such fraudulent transactions on customers' card accounts, as well as for other costs related to cyber attacks and breaches, such as replacing cards associated with compromised card accounts. In addition, we provide card transaction processing services to some merchant customers under agreements we have with payment networks such as Visa and Mastercard. Under these agreements, we may be responsible for certain losses and penalties if one of our merchant customers suffers a cyber attack or other data security breach. Moreover, to the extent more confidential information becomes available to bad actors through the cumulative effect of cyber attacks breaches at companies generally, bad actors may find it easier to use such information to gain access to our customer accounts.

Other cyber attacks and data security breaches are not focused on gaining access to credit card or user credential information, but instead seek access to a range of other types of confidential information, such as internal emails and other forms of customer financial information, and this information may be used to support a ransomware attack. Ransomware attacks have sought to deny access to data and possibly shut down systems and devices maintained by target companies. In a ransomware attack, system data is encrypted, stolen or extorted, or access is otherwise denied, accompanied by a demand for ransom to restore access to the data or to prevent

------

public disclosure of confidential information. Cyber attacks and data security breaches have also been conducted through business email compromise scams that involve using social engineering to cause employees to wire funds to the perpetrators in the mistaken belief that the requests were made by a company executive or established vendor. These types of phishing attacks have increased over time, and they have evolved to include other types of attacks like vishing (through voice messages) and smishing (through SMS text). Other cyber attacks and data security breaches have included distributed denial of service attacks, in which individuals or organizations flood commercial websites with extraordinarily high volumes of traffic with the goal of disrupting the ability of commercial enterprises to process transactions and possibly making their websites unavailable to customers for extended periods of time. Similarly, cyber attacks and breaches have been conducted through application program interfaces where bad actors seek to exploit the interfaces between mobile or web applications. We (as well as other financial services companies) have been subject to such cyber attacks and breaches. Recent cyber attacks and breaches have also included the insertion of malware into software updates and the infection of software while it is under assembly, known as a "supply chain attack." Cyber attacks and breaches affecting our customers may put these relationships at risk, particularly if customers' ability to continue operations is impaired due to the losses suffered. The techniques used in cyber attacks and breaches change rapidly and are increasingly sophisticated, including through the use of generative AI and deepfakes, and we expect in the future through the use of quantum computing, and we may not be able to anticipate cyber attacks or other data security breaches. Additionally, cyber attacks and breaches in some cases appear to be supported by foreign governments or other well-financed entities and often originate from less regulated and remote areas of the world. We have seen a higher volume and complexity of attacks during times of increased geopolitical tensions.

In addition to threats from external sources, insider threats represent a significant risk to us. Insiders, including those having legitimate access to our information, communications systems and other technology and the information contained therein, have the easiest opportunity to make inappropriate use of their access. Addressing that risk requires understanding not only how to protect us from unauthorized use and disclosure of data, but also how to engage behavioral analytics and other tools to identify potential internal threats before any damage is done. As more work is conducted outside of PNC's facilities, the risk of improper access to PNC's network or confidential information has increased, including for reasons such as a failure by an employee or contractor to secure a device with PNC access.

Cyber attacks and breaches often are not recognized until launched against a target and may go undetected for a period of time (or remain undetected), with the adverse consequences likely greater the longer it takes to discover the problem. As a result, we may be unable to implement adequate preventative measures to address these methods in advance of such cyber attacks and breaches. We have been and expect to continue to be the target of some of these types of cyber attacks and breaches. To date, none of these types of cyber attacks or other data security breaches has had a material impact on us. Nonetheless, we cannot entirely block efforts by bad actors to harm us, and there can be no assurance that future cyber attacks or other data security breaches will not be material. Attacks on others, some of which have led to serious adverse consequences, demonstrate the risks posed by new and evolving types of cyber attacks and breaches.

***We need effective programs to limit the risk of failures, interruptions and security breaches occurring in our technology and to mitigate and remediate the impact when they do.***

We have policies, procedures, systems and programs (including cybersecurity and business continuity programs) designed to prevent, mitigate and remediate the effect of failures, interruptions and security breaches in our technology. We continue to devote appropriate resources toward improving the reliability of our policies, procedures, systems and programs and their security against external and internal threats and expect to continue to do so in the future. We design our business continuity and other information and technology risk management programs to allow us to provide services in the case of an event resulting in material disruptions of business activities affecting our employees, facilities, technology or suppliers. We cannot guarantee the effectiveness of our policies, procedures, systems and programs to protect us in any future situation, nor can we guarantee the effectiveness of our oversight of risk arising from third parties upon whom we rely. Although we have policies, procedures, systems and programs designed to mitigate third-party risk, our ability to implement policies, procedures, systems and programs designed to prevent or limit the effect of possible failures, interruptions or security breaches impacting third-party technology, including the financial services industry infrastructure generally, is necessarily limited. Should such an adverse event occur, we may not have financial protection from the other third-party sufficient to compensate us or otherwise protect us from the consequences. While we maintain insurance coverage that may cover certain aspects of cyber risks, such insurance coverage may be insufficient to cover all losses or any losses at all, and there can be no guarantee that our insurer will not deny coverage to any particular claim in the future or that such insurance will continue to be available on commercially reasonable terms or at all. As a result, we could suffer material financial and reputational losses in the future from any failures, interruptions or security breaches or the perceptions thereof, whether or not this perception is correct.

We may be unable to implement adequate preventive or mitigating measures to address failures, interruptions and security breaches in advance. Even with our proactive and defensive measures in place, such adverse events are likely to occur, and there remains the risk that one or more such events would be material to PNC. Our ability to mitigate and remediate the adverse consequences of such events is in part dependent on the quality of our business continuity planning, our ability to identify and understand threats to us from a holistic perspective, our ability to anticipate the timing and nature of any such event that occurs, with novel or unusual events posing a greater risk, and our ability to identify and quickly resolve vulnerabilities in our technology and those of third parties upon which we rely. Cyber attacks and breaches often are not recognized until launched against a target and may go undetected for a period of time,

**18**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. – *2025 Form 10-K*

with the adverse consequences likely greater the longer it takes to discover the problem. In many cases, it also depends on the preparedness and responses of national or regional governments, including emergency responders, or on the part of other organizations and businesses with which we deal. Additionally, our failure to communicate failures, interruptions and security breaches appropriately to relevant parties could result in regulatory, legal, operational and reputational risk. See Item 1C Cybersecurity of this Report for more information on our cybersecurity risk management program.

**Risks Related to the Business of Banking**

***Our business and financial results are subject to risks associated with the creditworthiness of our customers and counterparties.***

Credit risk is inherent in the financial services business. It results from, among other things, extending credit to customers, purchasing securities, and entering into financial derivative transactions and certain guarantee contracts. Credit risk is one of our most significant risks, particularly given the high percentage of our assets represented directly or indirectly by loans and securities and the importance of lending activity to our overall business. We manage credit risk by assessing and monitoring the creditworthiness of our customers and counterparties, by diversifying our loan portfolio, by obtaining and monitoring collateral for certain exposures and by investing primarily in high quality securities.

A borrower's ability to repay a loan can be adversely affected by many factors. Individual borrowers can be affected, for example, by declines in income, job losses, health issues or family issues. Commercial borrowers can be affected, for example, by poor business performance, changes in customer behavior or catastrophic losses. Weakness in the economy or in financial markets typically adversely impacts the ability of our borrowers to repay outstanding loans. We are exposed to increased credit risk if we fail to evaluate properly at origination the likely ability of a borrower to repay a loan. Properly estimating the current and potential value of any collateral pledged to support the loan also is critical to effectively managing credit risk. A failure to identify declining creditworthiness of a borrower or declining collateral value at a time when remedial actions could reduce our exposure increases credit risk. Any decrease in our borrowers' ability to repay loans likely would result in higher levels of nonperforming loans, net charge-offs, provision for credit losses and valuation adjustments on loans held for sale. Managing credit risk effectively also relies on forecasts of future overall economic conditions, which are inherently imperfect. We also have credit risk arising from many other types of business relationships. Routine transactions give us credit exposure to brokers and dealers, commercial banks, investment banks, mutual and hedge funds, other institutional clients, as well as vendors and other non-financial entities.

Our credit risk may be exacerbated when the value of collateral held by us to secure obligations to us cannot be realized, including because of legal or regulatory changes, or is liquidated at prices that are not sufficient to recover the full amount of the loan or derivatives exposure due to us. In addition, credit risk may be exacerbated when counterparties are unable to post collateral, whether for operational or other reasons.

We reserve for credit losses on our loan and lease portfolio through our ACL estimated under CECL. Under CECL, the ACL reflects expected lifetime losses, which has led and could continue to lead to volatility in the allowance and the provision for credit losses as economic forecasts, actual credit performance and other factors used in the loss estimating process change. We also have reserves for unfunded loan commitments and letters of credit. Changes to expected losses are reflected in net income through provision for credit losses. A worsening of economic conditions or our economic outlook or an increase in credit risk, particularly following a period of good economic conditions, would likely lead to an increase in provision for credit losses with a resulting reduction in our net income and an increase to our allowance. Conversely, an improvement of economic conditions or our economic outlook, particularly following a period of poor economic conditions, could result in a recapture of provision for credit losses for a period of time with a resulting increase in our net income and decrease in our allowance. Either set of conditions is not likely to be sustained and may obscure actual current operations and financial performance. The section headed "Risks Related to Estimates and Assumptions" further discusses risks associated with estimating expected losses under CECL.

***The concentration and mix of our assets could increase the potential for significant credit losses.***

In the ordinary course of business, we often have heightened credit exposure to a particular industry, geography, asset class or financial market. As an example, loans secured by real estate typically represent a significant percentage of our overall credit portfolio. It also represents a portion of the assets underlying our investment securities. While there are limitations on the extent of total exposure to an individual consumer or business borrower, events adversely affecting some of our clients or counterparties, based on individual factors or the nature or location of their business, or asset classes or financial markets in which we are involved, could materially and adversely affect us. Declining economic conditions also may impact commercial borrowers more than consumer borrowers, or vice versa. In addition, we execute transactions with counterparties in the financial services industry. Financial services institutions are interconnected because of trading, funding, clearing or other relationships. As a result, uncertainty about the stability of other financial services institutions could lead to market-wide losses and defaults. Thus, the concentration and mix of our assets may affect the severity of the impact of recessions or other economic downturns on us.

***Our business and financial performance are impacted significantly by market interest rates and movements in those rates.***

As a result of the high percentage of our assets and liabilities that are in the form of interest-bearing or interest-related instruments, changes in interest rates, in the shape of the yield curve or in spreads between different market interest rates can have a material effect on our business, our profitability and the value of our financial assets and liabilities. For example:

The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. – *2025 Form 10-K* **19**

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Changes in interest rates or interest rate spreads affect the difference between the interest that we earn on assets such as loans and investment securities and the interest that we pay on liabilities such as deposits and borrowings, which impacts our overall net interest income and margin as well as our profitability.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Such changes can affect the ability of borrowers to meet obligations under variable or adjustable rate loans and other debt instruments and can, in turn, increase our credit losses on those assets.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Such changes can decrease the demand for interest rate-based products and services, including loans and deposit accounts.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Such changes affect our hedging of various forms of market and interest rate risk and may decrease the effectiveness of those hedges in helping to manage such risks.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Movements in interest rates also affect loan prepayment speeds and could result in impairments of mortgage servicing assets or otherwise affect the profitability of such assets.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Increases in interest rates likely lower the price we would receive on fixed-rate customer obligations if we were to sell them.

The rates on some interest-bearing instruments adjust promptly in accordance with changes in market rates, while others adjust only periodically or are fixed throughout a defined term. As a result, the impact of changes in interest rates can be either increased or diluted due to differences in the relative variability of the rates paid on our liabilities in relation to the rates received on our assets. The extent to which we have elected to hedge interest rate risk through interest rate swaps also affects the impact of rate changes. We attempt to manage the balance sheet to increase our benefit or reduce negative impacts from future movements in interest rates, but failures to anticipate actual movements may have the opposite result. In addition, we do not generally hedge all of our risk and our attempt to hedge risk does not mean we will be successful.

While higher interest rates generally enhance our ability to grow our net interest income, there are risks associated with a rising interest rate environment. As a general matter, increasing rates tend to decrease the value of fixed-rate financial instruments held on our balance sheet, as discussed in the Risk Factor headed "Our business and financial performance are vulnerable to the impact of changes in the values of financial assets." Also, customers have and may continue to be less willing or able to borrow at higher rates. Higher interest rates also have hindered and may continue to hinder the ability of borrowers to support interest payments on variable rate loans. Higher interest rates have and may continue to indirectly affect the value of asset classes such as real estate typically financed through secured loans, with a resulting negative effect on collateral securing such loans. The benefits of higher interest rates are best achieved if we can increase the rates on loans and other assets faster than the rates on deposits and other liabilities increase. We may not be able to achieve this result in a rising rate environment, especially if central banks introduce rate increases more quickly than anticipated. On the other hand, lower interest rates tend to have a negative impact on our net interest margin, and, unless offset by higher earning assets, on our net interest income. We discuss the impact of governmental monetary policy on interest rates in the Risk Factor headed "The policies of the Federal Reserve and other governmental agencies have a significant impact on interest rates and overall financial market performance, which are important to our business and financial performance."

***Our business and financial performance are vulnerable to the impact of changes in the values of financial assets.***

As a financial institution, a substantial majority of our assets and liabilities are financial in nature. Examples include loans, securities, servicing rights, deposits and borrowings. Such assets and liabilities will fluctuate in value, often significantly, due to movements in the financial markets or market volatility as well as developments specific to the asset or liability in question. The underlying value of assets under lease or securing an obligation generally decreases due to increases in supply or decreases in demand for the asset or deterioration in the condition of the asset. This could negatively impact the ability to collect fully on the secured obligation. Credit-based assets and liabilities will fluctuate in value due to changes in the perceived creditworthiness of borrowers or other counterparties and due to changes in market interest rates.

In many cases, we mark our assets and liabilities to market and recognize such changes either through net income or OCI. Thus, gains or losses on these assets and liabilities can have a direct impact on our results of operations and financial performance, unless we have effectively hedged our exposures. We may need to record losses in the value of financial assets even where our expectation of realizing the face value of the underlying instrument has not changed. Our remaining assets and liabilities are not marked to market. As a result, our balance sheet does not precisely represent the fair market value of our financial assets and liabilities. In addition, asset management revenue is earned primarily based on a percentage of the value of the assets being managed and thus is impacted by general changes in market valuations. Thus, although we are not directly impacted by changes in the value of such assets, decreases in the value of those assets would affect related noninterest income.

**Risks Related to Estimates and Assumptions**

***Our asset and liability valuations and the determination of the amount of loss allowances and impairments taken on our assets are highly subjective. Our estimates could materially impact our results of operations or financial position.***

Our accounting policies are key to how we report our financial condition and results of operations. We must exercise judgment in selecting and applying many of these policies and methods to comply with GAAP and reflect management's judgment regarding the most appropriate manner to report PNC's financial condition and results of operations. Management's selection of a particular accounting policy to apply, while reasonable and appropriate, could result in PNC reporting different results than would have been reported under a different alternative. In addition, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, SEC and other regulatory agencies may issue new or amend existing accounting and reporting standards or change existing interpretations of those standards that could

**20**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. – *2025 Form 10-K*

------

materially affect our financial statements. In some cases, PNC may be required to retrospectively apply a new or amended standard resulting in changes to previously reported financial results.

Certain accounting policies require that we use estimates, assumptions and judgments in preparing our financial statements, including in determining credit loss reserves, reserves related to legal proceedings and the fair value of certain assets and liabilities, among other items. These policies require management to make difficult, subjective and complex judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain, and different amounts could be reported under different conditions or using different assumptions. For example, CECL requires us to make difficult, subjective and complex judgments about future economic and market conditions in determining the ACL.

Some of our financial instruments, including certain derivatives, debt securities, loans, MSRs and private equity investments, among other items, require a determination of their fair value for our financial statements. Assets and liabilities carried at fair value inherently result in a higher degree of financial statement volatility. Changes in underlying factors or assumptions in any of the areas underlying our estimates could materially impact our future financial condition and results of operations. During periods of market disruption, it would be difficult to value certain assets if trading becomes less frequent and/or market data becomes less observable. There may be certain asset classes that were historically traded in active markets with significant observable data that rapidly become illiquid due to market volatility, a loss in market confidence or other factors. In addition, we have assets and liabilities carried at fair value that are estimated using unobservable inputs that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. The valuation of any asset or liability substantially based on unobservable inputs is necessarily less reliable than those based on active trading markets. Further, rapidly changing and unprecedented market conditions could materially impact the valuation of assets as reported within our consolidated financial statements. Our ability to hedge exposure is in part dependent on our ability to value the related assets or liabilities.

The determination of the amount of loss allowances and asset impairments varies by asset type and is based upon our periodic evaluation and assessment of known and inherent risks associated with the respective asset class. Management updates its evaluations regularly and reflects changes in allowances and impairments in operations as such evaluations are revised. Although we have policies and procedures in place to determine loss allowances and asset impairments, due to the subjective nature of this area, the level of impairments taken, and allowances reflected in our financial statements may not accurately reflect the actual level of risk and the amount of future losses.

***There are risks resulting from the extensive use of models, some of which use AI, in our business.***

We use financial and statistical models throughout many areas of our business, relying on them to inform decision making, automate processes, and estimate many financial values. Although it currently impacts a minority of the overall number of models that we use, we increasingly use models related to how we do business with customers and for internal process automation that leverage AI/machine learning algorithms. These models can be more predictive, but because of the complex way in which the many variables in AI/machine learning models interact, the results of these models are often less interpretable than traditional statistical models. Examples of model use include determining the pricing of various products, identifying potentially fraudulent or suspicious transactions, marketing to potential customers, grading loans and extending credit, measuring interest rate and other market risks, predicting or estimating losses, and assessing capital adequacy. We depend significantly on models for credit loss accounting under CECL, capital stress testing and estimating the value of items in our financial statements.

Models generally predict or infer certain financial outcomes, leveraging historical data and assumptions as to the future, often with respect to macroeconomic conditions. Development and implementation of some of these models, such as the models for credit loss accounting under CECL, require us to make difficult, subjective and complex judgments. Other models are used to support decisions made regarding how we do business with customers. Poorly designed or implemented models present the risk that our business decisions based on information incorporating model output will be adversely affected due to the inadequacy of that information. For example, our models may not be effective if historical data does not accurately represent future events or environments or if our models rely on erroneous, incomplete, biased, or otherwise flawed data, formulas, algorithms or assumptions and our internal model review processes fail to detect and address these flaws. Models, if flawed, could cause information we provide to the public or to our regulators to be inaccurate, incomplete or misleading. Some of the decisions that our regulators make, including those related to capital distribution to our shareholders, would likely be affected adversely if they perceive that the quality of the relevant models we use is insufficient. Finally, flaws in our models that negatively impact our customers or our ability to comply with applicable laws and regulations could negatively affect our reputation or result in fines and penalties from our regulators. Moreover, our use of AI/machine learning algorithms is subject to a variety of existing laws and regulations, including intellectual property, privacy (including with respect to automated decision making), consumer protection and federal equal opportunity laws and regulations, and additional new laws and regulations, and new applications or interpretations of existing laws and regulations, related to AI/machine learning algorithms may impact our ability to develop, use and commercialize AI/machine learning algorithms.

**Risks Related to Our Need for Customers**

***Our success depends on our ability to attract and retain customers for our products and services.***

Our performance is subject to risks associated with declines in customer demand for our products and services. As a result of the nature of those products and services, we are particularly at risk of losses of economic confidence or customer trust in us or, more broadly, in financial services institutions like us. Economic and market developments may affect consumer and business confidence levels. If customers lose confidence due to concerns regarding the economy, the demand for our products and services could suffer. If we fail to attract and retain customers, demand for our loans and other financial products and services could decrease, and we could experience adverse changes in payment patterns. We could lose interest income from a decline in credit usage and noninterest income from a decline in product sales, investments and other transactions. Demand for our products and services could also suffer as many of the risks to PNC related to the economy and other external factors, including regulation, such as changes to tax laws and tax rates, could negatively impact consumers and businesses and their interest in or ability to use our products and services.

Our ability to attract and retain customer deposits is impacted by the levels of interest rates, as customers balance the benefits of bank accounts with deposit insurance and some of the convenience associated with more traditional banking products against the possibility of higher yields from other investments. In general, if the spread between the rates we offer and those offered by alternatives to bank accounts widens, customers are often willing to forego the benefits of bank accounts (such as FDIC insurance) for higher returns elsewhere. Our customers have removed and could continue to remove money from deposit accounts with us in favor of other banks or other types of products, such as emerging financial technologies, including digital wallets, non-fungible tokens and digital currencies and cryptocurrencies (including stablecoins). In such circumstances, we need to increase rates to levels that are seen as competitive or lose customers, in either case with a negative impact to net interest income. In addition, deposits are a low-cost source of funds for us. Therefore, losing deposits could increase our funding costs and reduce our net interest income. Loss of customers could also harm noninterest income by decreasing fee-bearing transaction volume. In addition, when rates are higher, customers tend to shift deposits from noninterest-bearing accounts to interest-bearing ones, thereby negatively impacting net interest income.

Our customers increasingly use third-party financial applications that are expected to interface with their PNC accounts. This use leads to the risk that issues with respect to the effective functioning of that interface, regardless of cause, could result in a loss of customers as they seek banking relationships that work better with these other applications.

News or other publicity that harms our reputation, or harms the reputation of our industry generally, could cause a loss of customers or a reduction in the extent to which customers do business with us. This is described further in the Risk Factor headed "We are at risk of an adverse impact on our business due to damage to our reputation."

In our asset management business, investment performance is an important factor influencing the level of assets that we manage. Poor investment advice or performance could hurt revenue and growth as existing clients might withdraw funds in favor of better performing products. Additionally, the ability to attract funds from existing and new clients might diminish. Overall economic conditions may limit the amount that customers are able or willing to invest as well as the value of the assets they do invest. The failure or negative performance of products of other financial institutions could lead to a loss of confidence in similar products offered by us without regard to the performance of our products. Such a negative contagion could lead to withdrawals, redemptions and liquidity issues in such products and have an adverse impact on our assets under management and asset management earnings.

***We are at risk of an adverse impact on our business due to damage to our reputation.***

Our ability to compete effectively, to attract and retain customers and employees, and to grow our business is dependent on maintaining our reputation and having the trust of our customers, employees, the communities that we serve and other stakeholders. Many types of developments, if publicized, can negatively impact a company's reputation with adverse consequences to its business.

Financial services companies are highly vulnerable to reputational damage when they are found to have harmed customers, particularly retail customers, through conduct that is seen as illegal, unfair, deceptive, abusive, manipulative or otherwise wrongful. There also may be reputational damage from human error or systems failures viewed as having harmed customers without involving misconduct, including service disruptions or negative perceptions regarding our ability to maintain the security of our technology systems and protect client data. For example, we may suffer reputational harm to the extent that we are unable to successfully detect, prevent and remedy fraud that harms our clients. Our reputation may also be harmed by failing to deliver products and services of the quality expected by our customers and support the communities that we serve. Significant acquisitions by large banks also often attract public scrutiny, which may result in negative publicity that adversely affects our reputation if we engage in such transactions. We are also subject to the risk of reputational harm resulting from conduct of persons identified as our employees but acting outside of the scope of their employment, including through their misconduct, unethical behavior, or activities on personal social media. The reputational impact is likely greater to the extent that the bad conduct, errors or failures are pervasive, long-standing or affect a significant number of customers, particularly retail consumers. The negative impact of such reputational damage on our business may be disproportionate to the actual harm caused to customers. It may be severe even if we fully remediate any harm suffered by our customers. Furthermore, because we conduct most of our businesses under the "PNC" brand, negative public opinion about one business could also affect our other businesses. In addition, we could suffer reputational harm and a loss of customer trust as a result of the conduct of others in our industry even if we have not engaged in such conduct. We use third parties to help in many aspects of

**22**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. – *2025 Form 10-K*

------

our business, with the risk that their conduct can affect our reputation regardless of the degree to which we are responsible for it. The speed with which information spreads through social media and other news sources on the internet means that negative information about PNC can rapidly have a broadly adverse impact on our reputation. This applies regardless of whether or not the information is accurate. False information can also be spread from unaffiliated or parody social media accounts pretending to be official company communications channels. Once information has gone viral, it can be difficult to counter it effectively, either by correcting inaccuracies or communicating remedial steps taken for actual issues. The potential impact of negative information going viral means that material reputational harm can result from a single discrete or isolated incident.

To an increasing extent, financial services companies, including PNC, are facing criticism with accompanying reputational risk from activists, investors and stakeholders who believe companies should be focusing more or less on environmental, social and governance matters. Companies in our industry are targeted for engaging in business with specific customers or with customers in particular industries, where the customers' activities, even if legal, are perceived as having harmful impacts on matters such as the environment, consumer health and safety, or society at large. At the same time, financial services firms are also facing criticism and reputational harm if they are perceived as declining to provide, ceasing to provide, or otherwise restricting, banking and other services to businesses engaged in lawful activities or individuals due to their political or social viewpoints. These matters can incur legal and regulatory risk, which is discussed further in the Risk Factor headed "We are at risk for the impact of adverse results in legal proceedings." In addition, some stakeholders are seeking increased transparency and action from financial services companies with respect to environmental, social and governance activities, political activities and activities that are or may be perceived to be politically partisan in nature. Criticism has come in many forms, including protests at PNC facilities and social media campaigns. In some circumstances, our stakeholders have held and continue to hold conflicting views on the role PNC and other financial services companies should play in continuing to or refraining from financing certain sectors. In some cases, we are subject to potentially conflicting proposed and enacted state and local laws affecting our industry that regulate the manner in which or whether we may finance or service certain clients, industries or sectors. The potential for conflict may increase in instances where federal law is silent or is found not to preempt state law. Many of these issues are divisive without broad agreement as to the appropriate steps a company such as PNC should take. As a result, however we respond to such criticism, we expose ourselves to the risks that current or potential customers decline to do business with us (or encourage others to do so) or current or potential employees refuse to work for us. This can be true regardless of whether we are perceived by some as not having done enough to address these concerns or by others as having inappropriately yielded to these pressures. These pressures can also be a factor in decisions as to which business opportunities and customers we pursue, potentially resulting in foregone profit opportunities.

***We operate in a highly competitive environment in terms of the products and services we offer and the geographic markets in which we conduct business.***

We are subject to intense competition both from other financial institutions and from non-bank entities, including financial technology companies (often referred to as "fintech"). In many cases, non-bank entities can engage in many activities similar to ours or offer products and services desirable to our customers without being subject to the same types of regulation, supervision and restrictions that are applicable to banks, which could place us at a competitive disadvantage. Developments in the regulatory landscape relating to emerging financial technologies, including with respect to payment services and systems, lending, digital wallets, non-fungible tokens and digital currencies and cryptocurrencies (including stablecoins), may affect our customers' needs and expectations for products and services. New technologies have required and could require us to spend more to modify or adapt our products and services to attract and retain customers or to match products and services offered by competitors, including fintech companies. The failure of PNC to develop and market products and services that meet evolving customer needs or demands, or deliver them effectively and securely to our customers, or a decision not to offer a particular product or service because we deem it to be speculative or risky, could affect PNC's ability to attract or retain customers. Any such impact could, in turn, reduce PNC's revenues. The competition we face is described in Item 1 of this Report under "Competition."

Consolidation in our industry, including among smaller banks combining to form more competitive larger ones and between banks and non-bank entities, could result in PNC facing more intense competition, particularly in impacted regions or with respect to particular products. As we expand into new markets, we may face competitors with more experience and established relationships in these markets, which could adversely affect our ability to compete. A failure to adequately address the competitive pressures we face could make it harder for us to attract and retain customers across our businesses. On the other hand, meeting these competitive pressures could require us to incur significant additional expense or to accept risk beyond what we would otherwise view as desirable under the circumstances. In addition, in our interest rate sensitive businesses, competitive pressures to increase rates on deposits or decrease rates on loans could reduce our net interest margin, negatively impacting our net interest income.

***We depend on skilled labor, and employee attrition, competition for talented employees and labor shortages may have a material adverse effect on our business and operations.***

Our performance and competitive position depend on our ability to attract, develop and retain high-performing employees. We face significant competition for these employees across many of our businesses and support areas. This presents greater risk as we expand into new markets, develop new product lines, or enhance staffing in certain areas, particularly technology. Competition for qualified personnel leads to increased expenses in affected business areas. Differences in demands, expectations and priorities of the workforce may require us to modify our recruiting and retention strategies to attract and retain employees. Limitations on the way regulated

The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. – *2025 Form 10-K* **23**

------

financial institutions can compensate their officers and employees may make it more difficult for regulated financial institutions, including PNC, to compete with other companies for talent.

**Risks Related to Other Operational Issues**

***We depend on the effectiveness and integrity of employees, and the systems and controls for which they are responsible, to manage operational risks.***

We are a large company that offers a wide variety of products and services to a broad and diverse group of customers. We rely on our employees to design, manage and operate our systems and controls to ensure that we properly enter into, record and manage processes, transactions and other relationships with customers, suppliers and other parties with whom we do business. In some cases, we rely on employees of third parties to perform these tasks. We also depend on employees and the systems and controls for which they are responsible to ensure that we identify and mitigate the risks that are inherent in our relationships and activities. These concerns are increased when we change processes or procedures, introduce new products or services, acquire or invest in a business or implement new technologies, as we may fail to adequately identify or manage operational risks resulting from such changes. These concerns may be further exacerbated by employee turnover and labor shortages.

As a large financial services firm, we are faced with ongoing attempts by individuals or organizations to defraud us or our customers for financial gain. We depend on systems, processes and personnel, either at PNC or from third parties, to identify and prevent potentially fraudulent transactions, but those systems may not be adequate and fraudulent actors regularly change tactics to improve their chance of success. Even if PNC is not financially responsible for reimbursing a customer for its fraud losses, such losses may damage PNC's reputation or ability to attract and retain customers.

As a result of our necessary reliance on employees, whether ours or those of third parties, to perform these tasks and manage resulting risks, we are thus subject to human vulnerabilities. These range from innocent human error to misconduct or malfeasance, potentially leading to operational breakdowns or other failures. Our controls may not be adequate to prevent problems resulting from human involvement in our business, including risks associated with the design, operation and monitoring of automated systems. We may also fail to adequately maintain a culture of risk management among our employees. Errors by our employees or others responsible for systems and controls on which we depend and any resulting failures of those systems and controls to prevent unethical, fraudulent, improper or illegal conduct could result in significant harm to PNC. This harm could include customer remediation costs, regulatory fines or penalties, litigation or enforcement actions or limitations on our business activities. We could also suffer damage to our reputation, as described under "We are at risk of an adverse impact on our business due to damage to our reputation."

We use automation, machine learning, AI and robotic process automation tools to help reduce some risks of human error. Nonetheless, we continue to rely on many manual processes to conduct our business and manage our risks. In addition, use of automation tools does not eliminate the need for effective design and monitoring of their operation to make sure they operate as intended. Enhanced use of automation may present its own risks. Automated systems may themselves experience outages or problems. Some tools are dependent on the quality of the data used by the tool to learn and enhance the process for which it is responsible. Bad, missing or anomalous data can adversely affect the functioning of such tools. It is possible that humans in some cases are better able than highly automated tools to identify that anomalous data is being used or that results are themselves anomalous.

***We rely on third-party vendors, service providers and other counterparties to help support many aspects of our business. When we do so, our direct control of activities related to our business is reduced, which introduces risk.***

Our use of third parties to support our business needs typically means that we do not directly control the activities we are having them perform. Any disruption in services provided by these third parties could adversely affect our ability to conduct our business. Replacing third parties could also entail significant delay and expense. Risks can arise through inadequate performance by a third party (including by its downstream service providers), specifically where that performance could affect us or our customers, and even when the result of factors or events are beyond such third party's control. Many of the kinds of risks presented by activities performed by third parties are described elsewhere in these Risk Factors. Enhanced regulatory and other standards for the oversight of our use of third-party vendors and other service providers can result in higher costs and other potential exposures. We are also vulnerable, including to regulatory penalties, if an outside company fails to comply with legal requirements relevant to its work on our behalf. We may in any such circumstance suffer financial losses, legal consequences and injury to our reputation. Even if the other company makes us whole for financial losses, which is not necessarily the case, it is unlikely that it would be able to restore any injury to our reputation. As a result, the use of third parties to assist in our business activities heightens the risks to us inherent in those activities.

**Other Key Risks**

***We are at risk for the impact of adverse results in legal proceedings.***

Many aspects of our business involve substantial risk of legal liability. We have been named or threatened to be named as defendants in various lawsuits arising from our business activities. In addition, we are regularly the subject of governmental investigations and other forms of regulatory inquiry. We also are at risk when we have agreed to indemnify others for losses related to legal proceedings they face, such as in connection with the sale of a business or assets by us. The results of these legal proceedings could lead to significant monetary damages or penalties, restrictions on the way in which we conduct our business or reputational harm. Although

**24**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. – *2025 Form 10-K*

------

we establish accruals for legal proceedings 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, we do not have accruals for all legal proceedings where we face a risk of loss. In addition, due to the inherent subjectivity of the assessments and unpredictability of the outcome of legal proceedings, amounts accrued often do not represent the ultimate loss to us from the legal proceedings in question. Thus, our ultimate future losses may be higher, and possibly significantly so, than the amounts accrued for legal loss contingencies. We discuss further the unpredictability of legal proceedings and describe certain of our pending legal proceedings in Note 20 Legal Proceedings.

***We grow our business in part by acquiring other financial services businesses and businesses with technologies or other assets valuable to us from time to time. Acquisitions present several risks and uncertainties related both to the acquisition transactions themselves and to the integration of the acquired businesses into PNC after closing.***

Acquisitions of other companies or of financial assets and deposits and other liabilities present risks and uncertainties to us in addition to those presented by the nature of the business acquired, which may materially and adversely affect our results of operations. Many of the same risks arise when we engage in strategic partnerships. Our ability to analyze the risks presented by prospective acquisitions, as well as our ability to prepare in advance of closing for integration, may be limited to the extent that we cannot gather necessary or desirable information with respect to the business we are acquiring. We may also make certain assumptions related to an acquisition that may prove to be inaccurate that limit the anticipated benefits (such as cost savings from synergies or strategic gains from being able to offer enhanced product sets) or make the acquisition more expensive or take longer to complete and integrate than anticipated. Prior to closing an acquisition, prospective acquisition targets are also subject to their own risks that we cannot manage or control. Our ability to complete an acquisition may be dependent on regulatory agencies with responsibilities for reviewing or approving the transaction, which could delay, restrictively condition or result in denial of an acquisition, or otherwise limit the benefits of the acquisition. Changes in regulatory rules or standards or the application of those rules or standards, or future regulatory initiatives designed to promote competition or limit systemic risk and the potential for a financial institution to become "too big to fail," may also limit our ability to complete an acquisition.

Acquisition targets have their own risks specific to their businesses that could impact the success of an acquisition and its integration into PNC, such as:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• If a significant aspect of the value of a transaction is intellectual property, the extent to which the intellectual property may be utilized or protected and commercialized by PNC.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• If the acquisition includes loan portfolios, the extent of actual credit losses and the required allowance for credit losses following completion of the acquisition.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• If the acquisition involves entering into new businesses or geographic or other markets, potential limitations on our ability to take advantage of these opportunities because of our inexperience with respect to them.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The results of litigation and governmental investigations that may be pending at the time of the acquisition or that may be filed or commenced thereafter, because of an acquisition or otherwise, are often hard to predict.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Operational or compliance issues at the acquisition target may not be fully identified or remediated until after the acquisition closes, potentially resulting in increased costs or penalties.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Models used by an acquisition target, such as for capital planning and credit loss accounting, may be designed or implemented in a manner different than at PNC, and our necessary reliance on these for a period of time, could materially impact our financial condition or results of operations to the extent that our estimates based on these models are inaccurate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Enterprise risk management systems, policies and procedures may be different and less mature than those of PNC, and our necessary reliance on these for a period of time, could limit PNC's ability to identify, monitor, manage and report risks or subject us to heightened regulatory, legal, operational or reputational risk.

After closing, the success of an acquisition is likely partially dependent on our ability to retain and expand upon the acquired company's customer base. It is also frequently subject to risks related to human capital, including risks related to integrating the corporate culture of the acquired company and, to the extent being retained, the quality of leadership of the acquired company.

***Our business and financial performance could be adversely affected, directly or indirectly, by disasters, natural or otherwise, by terrorist activities, by international hostilities or by domestic civil unrest.***

Neither the occurrence nor the potential impact of natural and other disasters (including severe weather events), health emergencies, dislocations, geopolitical instabilities, terrorist activities, international hostilities or other extraordinary events beyond PNC's control can be predicted. However, these occurrences could adversely impact us, for example, by causing significant damage to our facilities or preventing us from conducting our business in the ordinary course. Also, their impact on our borrowers, depositors, other customers, suppliers or other counterparties could result in indirect adverse effects on us. Other indirect adverse consequences from these occurrences could result from impacts to the financial markets, the economy in general or in any region, or key parts of the infrastructure (such as the power grid) on which we and our customers rely. These types of indirect effects, whether specific to our counterparties or more generally applicable, could lead, for example, to an increase in delinquencies, bankruptcies or defaults that could result in PNC experiencing higher levels of nonperforming assets, net charge-offs and provisions for credit losses. They could also cause a reduction in demand for lending or other services that we provide.

The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. – *2025 Form 10-K* **25**

------

Our ability to mitigate the adverse consequences of such occurrences is in part dependent on the quality of our resiliency planning. This includes our ability to anticipate the nature of any such event that might occur. There can be no assurance that PNC's resiliency planning will fully mitigate all potential resiliency risks to PNC, its customers, and third parties with which it does business, or that its resiliency planning will be adequate to address the effects of simultaneous occurrences of multiple or extended events. The adverse impact of these occurrences also could be increased to the extent that there is a lack of preparedness on the part of national or regional emergency responders or on the part of other organizations and businesses that we deal with, many of which we depend on but have limited or no control over.

**ITEM 1B – UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS**

There are no SEC staff comments regarding PNC's periodic or current reports under the Exchange Act that are pending resolution.

**ITEM 1C – CYBERSECURITY**

We manage our cybersecurity risk as an integral part of our enterprise risk management programs. Accordingly, the disclosures in this Item 1C should be reviewed in conjunction with the disclosure in the Risk Management section in Item 7 of this Report.

**Information Security Program**

PNC's approach to cyber risk management, oversight and reporting is based on a well-structured information security program which has been approved by PNC's Board of Directors. The program incorporates cyber risk considerations into day-to-day business activities and is responsible for protecting information assets to achieve business objectives in a secure manner and designed to keep customers' information and their funds safe and available. Program capabilities are built against industry guidance and a security framework to identify risks to sensitive information, protect that information and maintain an appropriate response and recovery capability to help ensure resilience against information security incidents.

PNC's information security program is designed to account for cybersecurity threats specifically targeting us and to ensure that PNC follows industry guidance and security frameworks for data protection, system development security, identity and access management, incident management, threat and vulnerability management, security operations management and third- and fourth-party security. Our program is continuously enhanced by threat intelligence, new regulations, industry guidance and disruptive new technologies. The program includes, among other things, annual security and privacy training for all PNC employees, phishing exercises, and informative articles and communications to raise employee awareness.

PNC's information security program consists of policies and procedures for identifying new cyber risks and assessing their severity. PNC actively monitors and responds to the identified risks and overall cybersecurity threat landscape via active capabilities to share information and leverage intelligence, monitoring, and response capabilities across the security industry, which include cybersecurity threats, physical threats and fraud. PNC's intelligence and analysis capabilities collaborate to analyze events and trends for possible response. PNC also maintains an incident response plan designed to handle potential or actual cybersecurity events that could impact us and our personnel, data, systems and customers, which is reviewed and refined periodically.

We have not experienced any material cybersecurity incidents that have impacted PNC's business strategy, results of operations or financial condition to date. Notwithstanding our approach regarding cybersecurity, we may not be successful in preventing or mitigating the impact of a cybersecurity incident that could have a material impact on our business, results of operations or financial condition. See Item 1A Risk Factors of this Report for a discussion of cybersecurity risks.

**Board Governance and Risk Oversight**

PNC's Board of Directors maintains governance and oversight of the risks posed by cybersecurity threats through the Board-level Technology and Risk Committees.

The Technology Committee meets no less than quarterly, and its purpose is to (i) assist the Board with the oversight of technology strategy and significant technology initiatives and programs, including those that can position the use of technology to drive strategic advantages and (ii) fulfill oversight responsibilities with respect to technology risk, information management and security risks (including cyber security, cyber fraud and physical security risks), and the adequacy of PNC's business recovery, resiliency and contingency plans and test results.

The Technology Committee is informed of cyber threats and risks through multiple mechanisms. PNC's Chief Information Security Officer presents quarterly to the Technology Committee on such topics as threat intelligence and assessment reports, incident and event reporting from other institutions, governance and regulatory exam statuses, and the status of other key program deliverables, among other content.

The Risk Committee meets no less than quarterly and provides oversight of PNC's ERM framework. Cybersecurity risk is integrated into PNC's overall ERM framework, and is represented as the Information Security domain, alongside seven other operational risk domains. See the Risk Management section in Item 7 of this Report for more details on our ERM framework.

**26**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. – *2025 Form 10-K*

------

PNC's inherent information security risks, the maturity and completeness of the control environment and measurements against our risk appetite are presented quarterly to the Technology Committee by the firm's Chief Technology Risk Officer. Overall risks across the Enterprise Risk Framework are then reported quarterly to the Risk Committee by the Chief Risk Officer.

Communication to the Board occurs more frequently than quarterly when dictated by incident and event management policies and procedures based on the criticality and urgency of the communication.

**Role of Management** 

Management is directly involved in assessing and managing PNC's risks from cybersecurity threats. PNC uses a three-lines-of-defense model where cybersecurity risk is managed and assessed by the first line of defense, led by the Chief Information Security Officer and the Head of Technology Risk Governance, and the second line of defense which is led by the Chief Technology Risk Officer under the leadership of the Chief Risk Officer. The first and second lines of defense are examined internally by our third line of defense, Internal Audit. The lines of defense model is designed to ensure appropriate oversight within the management structure. See the Risk Governance and Oversight section of Risk Management for more details on each of our lines of defense. In addition to the three lines of internal defense, PNC engages external consultants to assess and inform the program, as needed, and external assessors, consultants and auditors to review PNC's program against those of industry peers.

The Chief Information Security Officer's organization includes managers who have led cybersecurity programs in other industries such as robotics and AI, consulting, telecommunications, healthcare and manufacturing, which brings together a multi-faceted approach to managing cybersecurity threats and risks. The Information Security department leadership and personnel hold degrees in Information Security, Management Information Systems, Computer Science, Engineering Management and other professional majors. They also hold multiple professional certifications inclusive of vendor-issued security credentials from CISCO, Microsoft and F5, and industry certifications including but not limited to: Certified Information Systems Security Professional issued by the International Information System Security Certification Consortium; the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency and Certified Information Security Manager issued by the Information Systems Audit and Control Association; and the Certificate of Cloud Security Knowledge issued by the Cloud Security Association.

**Cyber Risks Related to Third Parties**

Risks from cybersecurity threats associated with its use of third-party service providers are addressed as part of the information security risk and third-party risk domains, and their management is integrated into the ERM Framework. To help control cyber risks at third parties and protect customer data and systems, PNC assesses suppliers and third parties through a third-party security program that includes periodic security assessment. The third-party security program also includes regular monitoring of certain third parties using an independent security rating service that is designed to ensure insight and alerting is available at scale. In the event of an incident at a third party, there are specific incident response processes and protocols in place that are designed to protect PNC from potential adverse impacts.

**ITEM 2 – PROPERTIES**

Our executive and primary administrative offices are currently located at The Tower at PNC Plaza, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The 33-story structure is owned by PNC Bank, National Association.

We own or lease numerous other premises for use in conducting business activities, including operations centers, offices, and branches and other facilities. We consider the facilities owned or occupied under lease by our subsidiaries to be adequate for the purposes of our business operations. We include here by reference the additional information regarding our properties in Note 6 Leases and Note 7 Premises, Equipment and Leasehold Improvements.

**ITEM 3 – LEGAL PROCEEDINGS**

See the information set forth in Note 20 Legal Proceedings, which is incorporated here by reference.

**ITEM 5 – MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES** 

Our common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange and is traded under the symbol "PNC." At the close of business on February 10, 2026, there were 39,467 common shareholders of record.

Holders of PNC common stock are entitled to receive dividends when declared by our Board of Directors out of funds legally available for this purpose. Our Board of Directors may not pay or set apart dividends on the common stock until dividends for all past dividend periods on any series of outstanding preferred stock and certain outstanding capital securities issued by the parent company have been paid or declared and set apart for payment. The Board of Directors 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). PNC's ability to pay or increase dividends or otherwise return capital to shareholders is subject to PNC's compliance with its SCB, which is determined through the Federal Reserve's CCAR process as described in the Supervision and Regulation section in Item 1 of this Report. PNC's SCB for the four-quarter period beginning October 1, 2025 is the regulatory minimum of 2.5%. See the Liquidity and Capital Management portion of the Risk Management section of Item 7 for more detail on our common shares still available for repurchase.

For further information concerning dividend restrictions and other factors that could limit our ability to pay dividends, as well as restrictions on loans, dividends or advances from bank subsidiaries to the parent company, see the Supervision and Regulation section in Item 1, Item 1A Risk Factors and the Liquidity and Capital Management portion of the Risk Management section in Item 7, and Note 9 Borrowed Funds, Note 11 Equity and Note 19 Regulatory Matters, which we include here by reference.

We include here by reference the information regarding our compensation plans under which PNC equity securities are authorized for issuance as of December 31, 2025 in the table (with introductory paragraph and notes) in Item 12 of this Report.

**ITEM 7 – MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (MD&A)**

**EXECUTIVE SUMMARY**

**<u>Key Strategic Goals</u>**

At PNC we manage our company for the long term. We are focused on the fundamentals of growing customers, loans, deposits and revenue and improving profitability, while investing for the future and managing risk, expenses and capital. We continue to invest in our products, markets and brand, and embrace our commitments to our customers, shareholders, employees and the communities where we do business.

We strive to serve our customers and expand and deepen relationships by offering a broad range of deposit, credit and fee-based products and services. We are focused on delivering those products and services to our customers with the goal of addressing their financial objectives and needs. Our business model is built on customer loyalty and engagement, understanding our customers' financial goals and offering our diverse products and services to help them achieve financial well-being. Our approach is concentrated on organically growing and deepening client relationships across our businesses that meet our risk/return measures.

We are focused on our strategic priorities, which are designed to enhance value over the long term, and consist of:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Expanding our leading banking franchise to new markets and digital platforms,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Deepening customer relationships by delivering a superior banking experience and financial solutions, and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Leveraging technology to create efficiencies that help us better serve customers.

Our capital and liquidity priorities are to support customers, fund business investments and return excess capital to shareholders, while maintaining appropriate capital and liquidity in light of economic conditions, the Basel III framework and other regulatory expectations. For more detail, see the Supervision and Regulation section in Item 1 Business, the Capital Highlights portion of this Executive Summary and the Liquidity and Capital Management portion of the Risk Management section in this Item 7.

**<u>Key Factors Affecting Financial Performance</u>**

We face a variety of risks that may impact various aspects of our risk profile from time to time. The extent of such impacts may vary depending on factors such as the current business and economic conditions, political and regulatory environment and operational challenges. Many of these risks and our risk management strategies are described in more detail elsewhere in this Report.

Our success will depend upon, among other things, the following factors that we manage or control:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Effectively managing capital and liquidity including:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Continuing to maintain and, over time, grow our deposit base as a low-cost stable funding source,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Prudent liquidity and capital management to meet evolving regulatory capital, capital planning, stress testing and liquidity standards, and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Actions we take within the capital and other financial markets,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Execution of our strategic priorities,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Management of credit risk in our portfolio,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Our ability to manage and implement strategic business objectives within the changing regulatory environment,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The impact of legal and regulatory-related contingencies,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The appropriateness of critical accounting estimates and related contingencies, and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Our ability to manage operational risks related to new products and services, changes in processes and procedures or the implementation of new technology.

Our financial performance is also substantially affected by a number of external factors outside of our control, including the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Global and domestic economic conditions,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The actions by the Federal Reserve, U.S. Treasury and other government agencies, including those that impact money supply and market interest rates and inflation,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The level of, and direction, timing and magnitude of movement in, interest rates and the shape of the interest rate yield curve,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The functioning and other performance of, and availability of liquidity in, U.S. and global financial markets,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The impact of tariffs and other trade policies of the U.S. and its global trading partners,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Changes in the competitive landscape,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Impacts of changes in federal, state and local governmental policy, including on the regulatory landscape, capital markets, taxes, infrastructure spending and social programs,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The impact of market credit spreads on asset valuations,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The ability of customers, counterparties and issuers to perform in accordance with contractual terms,

**32**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. – *2025 Form 10-K*

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Loan demand, utilization of credit commitments and standby letters of credit, and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The impact on customers and changes in customer behavior due to changing business and economic conditions or regulatory or legislative initiatives.

For additional information on the risks we face, see Item 1A Risk Factors and the Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information section in this Item 7.

**<u>FDIC Special Assessment</u>**

In November 2023, the FDIC approved a final rule to implement a special assessment to recover the loss to the DIF associated with protecting uninsured depositors following the closures of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank, subject to periodic adjustments based on the estimated total loss amount. In December 2025, the FDIC adopted an interim final rule allowing for potential offsets to assessments if the amount collected exceeds losses to the DIF. Based on these rules, PNC incurred pre-tax expenses of $515 million in 2023 and $112 million in 2024. Additionally, in 2025, PNC benefited from changes in the FDIC's expected losses which led to an accrual release of $60 million in the fourth quarter and $48 million in the third quarter, resulting in a $108 million accrual release for the full year. For additional information about the impact of the FDIC's special assessment, see the Supervision and Regulation section in Item 1 Business.

**<u>Second Quarter 2024 Significant Items</u>**

In the second quarter of 2024, PNC participated in the Visa exchange program, allowing PNC to convert its Visa Class B-1 common

shares into approximately equal amounts of Visa Class B-2 common shares and Visa Class C common shares. This conversion event

resulted in a gain of $754 million related to the Visa Class C common shares received. PNC retained the Visa Class B-2 common

shares. The second quarter of 2024 also included Visa Class B-2 derivative fair value adjustments of negative $116 million and a $120

million expense related to a PNC Foundation contribution. During the second quarter, PNC also repositioned the investment securities

portfolio, selling low-yielding investment securities for net proceeds of $3.8 billion, resulting in a loss of $497 million. PNC

redeployed the full proceeds from the sale into higher-yielding investment securities. The combined impact of all of these significant items on pre-tax noninterest income and pre-tax noninterest expense in the second quarter of 2024 was $141 million and $120 million, respectively.

**<u>Acquisition of FirstBank Holding Company</u>**

On January 5, 2026, PNC completed its acquisition of FirstBank Holding Company, including its banking subsidiary, FirstBank. As of close, FirstBank had $26.4 billion of assets, $16.0 billion of loans and $23.1 billion of deposits. Effective January 5, 2026, FirstBank's financial results are included in PNC's consolidated operations and will be reported in PNC's first quarter 2026 results. Conversion of FirstBank customers to PNC Bank is expected to occur this summer. Until conversion, FirstBank will remain a separate bank subsidiary of PNC. See Note 24 Subsequent Events for additional details on the acquisition of FirstBank.

**<u>Income Statement Highlights</u>**

Net income for 2025 was $7.0 billion or $16.59 per diluted common share, an increase of $1.0 billion, or 18%, compared to net income of $6.0 billion, or $13.74 per diluted common share, for 2024. The increase was primarily due to higher net interest income and noninterest income, partially offset by higher noninterest expense.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Total revenue increased $1.5 billion, or 7%, to $23.1 billion.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Net interest income increased $0.9 billion, or 7%, to $14.4 billion and reflected lower funding costs, the continued benefit of fixed rate asset repricing and loan growth.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Net interest margin increased to 2.83% for 2025 compared to 2.66% for 2024.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Noninterest income increased $0.6 billion, or 8%, to $8.7 billion, primarily driven by growth in capital markets and advisory fees, card and cash management revenue and asset management and brokerage income.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Provision for credit losses of $779 million for 2025 was driven by a net increase in the ACL, primarily due to commercial and industrial portfolio activity and changes to macroeconomic scenarios, partially offset by commercial real estate portfolio activity. Provision for credit losses was $789 million in 2024.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Noninterest expense increased $310 million, or 2%, to $13.8 billion compared to 2024 driven by higher personnel costs, including higher variable compensation associated with increased business activity. These increases were partially offset by a decrease to other noninterest expense, primarily due to lower FDIC assessment expenses.

For additional detail, see the Consolidated Income Statement Review section of this Item 7.

**<u>Balance Sheet Highlights</u>**

Our balance sheet was well positioned at December 31, 2025. In comparison to December 31, 2024:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Total assets increased primarily due to higher loan balances, partially offset by lower balances held with the FRB.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Total loans increased $15.0 billion, or 5%, to $331.5 billion.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Total commercial loans increased $16.3 billion, or 8%, to $232.5 billion, driven by growth in the commercial and industrial portfolio, reflecting new production, partially offset by lower commercial real estate loans.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Total consumer loans decreased $1.3 billion, or 1%, to $99.0 billion, primarily due to lower residential real estate loans as paydowns outpaced originations, partially offset by growth in the auto loan portfolio.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Investment securities decreased $1.5 billion, or 1%, to $138.2 billion, primarily due to net paydowns and maturities in the held-to-maturity portfolio, partially offset by net purchase activity in the available-for-sale portfolio.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Interest-earning deposits with banks, primarily with the FRB, decreased $6.4 billion, or 16%, to $32.9 billion, primarily due to higher loan balances and lower borrowed funds, partially offset by higher deposits.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Total deposits increased $14.1 billion, or 3%, to $440.9 billion, as higher interest-bearing deposits were partially offset by lower noninterest-bearing deposits. The increase in interest-bearing deposits was due to higher commercial and consumer deposits, partially offset by lower brokered time deposits. The decrease in noninterest-bearing deposits reflected lower commercial balances, partially offset by higher consumer balances.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Borrowed funds of $57.1 billion decreased $4.6 billion, or 7%, primarily due to lower FHLB advances, partially offset by higher senior debt outstanding.

For additional detail, see the Consolidated Balance Sheet Review section of this Item 7.

**<u>Credit Quality Highlights</u>**

2025 reflected strong credit quality performance.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• At December 31, 2025 compared to December 31, 2024:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The ACL related to loans, which consists of the ALLL and the allowance for unfunded lending related commitments, totaled $5.2 billion at both December 31, 2025 and 2024. ACL to total loans was 1.58% and 1.64% at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Overall loan delinquencies increased $61 million, or 4%, to $1.4 billion, as a result of higher commercial loan delinquencies, partially offset by lower consumer loan delinquencies.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Nonperforming assets of $2.4 billion were stable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Net charge-offs of $0.7 billion or 0.23% of average loans in 2025 decreased $297 million compared to net charge-offs of $1.0 billion or 0.33% of average loans for 2024, reflecting lower commercial and consumer net loan charge-offs.

For additional detail, see the Credit Risk Management portion of the Risk Management section of this Item 7.

**<u>Capital and Liquidity Highlights</u>**

We maintained strong capital and liquidity positions during 2025.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Common shareholders' equity increased $6.2 billion to $54.8 billion at December 31, 2025, due to the benefit of net income and an improvement in AOCI, partially offset by common dividends paid and common share repurchases.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• In 2025, we returned $3.9 billion of capital to shareholders through dividends on common shares of more than $2.6 billion and repurchases of 6.8 million common shares for $1.2 billion.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• On January 5, 2026, the PNC Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend on common stock of $1.70 per share paid on February 5, 2026 to shareholders of record at the close of business January 20, 2026.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Our CET1 capital ratio increased to 10.6% at December 31, 2025 from 10.5% at December 31, 2024.

PNC's ability to take certain capital actions, including returning capital to shareholders, is subject to PNC meeting or exceeding an SCB established by the Federal Reserve Board in connection with the Federal Reserve Board's CCAR process. PNC's SCB for the four-quarter period beginning October 1, 2025 is the regulatory minimum of 2.5%. See additional discussion of the CCAR process in the Supervision and Regulation section of Item 1 Business and Item 1A Risk Factors of this Report and the Liquidity and Capital Management portion of the Risk Management section of this Item 7 for more detail on our 2025 capital and liquidity actions as well as our capital ratios.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• PNC's baseline forecast remains for continued expansion, but slower economic growth in 2026 than in 2024 and 2025. Tariffs remain a drag on consumer spending and business investment, while AI-related capex and wealth effects have been key supports to growth. Consumer spending growth is slowing to a pace more consistent with household income growth. The One Big Beautiful Bill will be a net positive for economic growth in 2026.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The baseline forecast anticipates real GDP growth slowing to around 2% in 2026, with continued modest job gains and the unemployment rate at around 4.5%. Tariffs remain a risk to the outlook, and a reversal in sentiment around AI or a large decline in equity prices would be drags. Weaker labor force growth could lead to weaker long-run growth.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Our baseline forecast is for the Federal Reserve to keep the federal funds rate unchanged in the first half of this year, in a range between 3.50% and 3.75%. We expect modest additional easing in the second half of the year with 25 basis points cuts at the FOMC meetings in July and September 2026, resulting in a federal funds rate in the range of 3.00% to 3.25% by the fall. However, there are two-sided risks to this outlook: (1) if inflation re-accelerates or proves more persistent than expected, the Federal Reserve may cut less or (2) if growth falters or recession emerges, easing could be deeper and more prolonged.

See Item 1A Risk Factors and the Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information section in this Item 7 for other factors that could cause future events to differ, perhaps materially, from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements.

For the full year 2026, compared to full year 2025, we expect:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Average loans to be up approximately 8%,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Net interest income to be up approximately 14%,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Noninterest income to be up approximately 6%,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Revenue to be up approximately 11%,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Noninterest expense, excluding one-time integration costs, to be up approximately 7%, and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The effective tax rate to be approximately 19.5%.

For the first quarter of 2026, compared to the fourth quarter of 2025, we expect:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Average loans to be up approximately 5%,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Net interest income to be up approximately 6%,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Fee income to be down 1% to 2%,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Other noninterest income to be between $150 million and $200 million,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Revenue to be up 2% to 3%,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Noninterest expense, excluding one-time integrations costs, to be up approximately 4%,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Net loan charge-offs to be approximately $200 million, and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Average diluted shares to be approximately 406 million.

We expect to incur non-recurring merger and integration costs of approximately $325 million, the majority of which we expect to be recognized in the first half of 2026.

------

Noninterest income, revenue and other noninterest income guidance does not forecast net securities gains or losses or Visa activity. We are unable to provide a meaningful or accurate reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP measures, without unreasonable effort, to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. This is due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting the timing and amounts necessary for the reconciliation when such amounts are subject to events that cannot be reasonably predicted, as noted in our Cautionary Statement. Accordingly, we cannot address the probable significance of unavailable information.

**CONSOLIDATED INCOME STATEMENT REVIEW**

Our Consolidated Income Statement is presented in Item 8 of this Report. For the comparison of 2024 over 2023, see the Consolidated Income Statement Review section in our 2024 Form 10-K.

Net income for 2025 was $7.0 billion, or $16.59 per diluted common share, an increase of $1.0 billion, or 18%, compared to net income of $6.0 billion, or $13.74 per diluted common share, for 2024. The increase was primarily due to higher net interest income and noninterest income, partially offset by higher 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 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 Table 38 Reconciliation of Taxable-Equivalent Net Interest Income (non-GAAP) of this Item 7.

(b)Interest income from Interest-earning deposits with banks primarily includes interest earned on our balances held with the FRB and is reported as Other interest income on our Consolidated Income Statement.

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 Average Consolidated Balance Sheet and Net Interest Analysis section of this Item 7 for additional information.

Net interest income increased $0.9 billion, or 7%, and net interest margin increased 17 basis points in 2025 compared with 2024 and reflected lower funding costs, the continued benefit of fixed rate asset repricing and loan growth.

Average investment securities increased $2.0 billion, or 1%, driven by net purchase activity of residential mortgage-backed securities and U.S. Treasury and government agency securities. Average investment securities represented 28% of average interest-earning assets in 2025 compared to 27% in 2024.

Average loans increased $3.6 billion, or 1%, primarily due to growth in commercial and industrial loans, partially offset by a decline in commercial and residential real estate loans. Average loans represented 63% of average interest-earning assets in 2025 compared to 62% in 2024.

The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. – *2025 Form 10-K* **37**

------

Average interest-earning deposits with banks decreased $9.8 billion, or 23%, primarily due to lower borrowed funds outstanding and increased loan balances, partially offset by higher deposit balances.

Average interest-bearing deposits increased $11.1 billion, or 3%, reflecting growth in commercial and consumer deposits, partially offset by lower brokered time deposits. In total, average interest-bearing deposits represented 84% of average interest-bearing liabilities in 2025 compared to 81% in 2024.

Average borrowed funds decreased $10.0 billion, or 13%, primarily due to lower FHLB advances, partially offset by higher senior debt outstanding.

Further details regarding average loans and deposits are included in the Business Segments Review section of this Item 7.

\*- Not Meaningful

Noninterest income as a percentage of total revenue was 38% for 2025 and 37% for 2024.

Asset management and brokerage fees increased reflecting the impact of higher average equity markets, higher annuity sales and net inflows. PNC's discretionary client assets under management increased to $234 billion at December 31, 2025 compared to $211 billion at December 31, 2024, primarily due to higher spot equity markets and net inflows. Capital markets and advisory fees increased primarily due to higher merger and acquisition advisory activity and increased trading revenue. Card and cash management revenue growth was driven by higher treasury management fees and increased credit card and debit card revenue. Lending and deposit services grew as a result of increased customer activity and growth in consumer checking accounts. Residential and commercial mortgage decreased due to lower residential mortgage revenue, partially offset by higher commercial mortgage revenue.

Other noninterest income increased reflecting lower negative Visa derivative adjustments and higher private equity revenue. Visa derivative adjustments were negative $114 million in 2025, primarily related to litigation escrow funding, compared to negative $274 million in 2024. Other noninterest income in 2024 included a $754 million gain resulting from PNC's participation in the Visa exchange program and a $497 million loss related to the repositioning of our investment securities portfolio.

| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Total noninterest expense | $13834 | $13524 | 2% |

---

Noninterest expense increased compared to 2024, driven by higher personnel costs, including higher variable compensation associated with increased business activity. These increases were partially offset by a decrease to other noninterest expense, primarily due to lower FDIC assessment expenses. Other noninterest expense in 2025 included a $108 million accrual release related to the FDIC's special assessment. Other noninterest expense in 2024 included a $120 million PNC Foundation contribution expense in the second quarter and $112 million in costs related to the FDIC's special assessment. Noninterest expense in 2024 also included $97 million of impairments in the fourth quarter, primarily related to technology investments.

We exceeded our 2025 continuous improvement program savings goal of $350 million. Our goal for 2026 is $350 million.

**<u>Effective Income Tax Rate</u>**

The effective income tax rate was 17.5% for 2025 compared with 17.8% for 2024. Both periods included the favorable resolution of certain tax matters.

The effective tax rate is generally lower than the statutory rate primarily due to tax credits we receive from our investments in low- income housing and new markets investments, as well as earnings on other tax exempt investments. Additional information regarding our effective tax rate is included in the Reconciliation of Statutory and Effective Tax Rates table in Note 18 Income Taxes.

Provision for credit losses of $779 million for 2025 was driven by a net increase in the ACL, primarily due to commercial and industrial portfolio activity and changes to macroeconomic scenarios, partially offset by commercial real estate portfolio activity.

Our balance sheet was well positioned at December 31, 2025. In comparison to December 31, 2024:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Total assets increased primarily due to higher loan balances, partially offset by lower balances held with the FRB.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Total liabilities increased driven by higher deposit balances, partially offset by lower borrowed funds.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Total equity increased due to the benefit of net income and an improvement in AOCI, partially offset by dividends paid and common shares repurchased.

The following discussion provides additional information about the major components of our balance sheet. Information regarding our ACL related to total loans is included in the Credit Risk Management section and Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments section of this Item 7, Note 1 Accounting Policies and Note 3 Loans and Related Allowance for Credit Losses.

---

Commercial loans increased driven by growth in the commercial and industrial portfolio, reflecting new production, partially offset by lower commercial real estate loans.

Consumer loans decreased primarily due to lower residential real estate loans as paydowns outpaced originations, partially offset by growth in the auto loan portfolio.

For additional information regarding our loan portfolio, see the Credit Risk Management portion of the Risk Management section, Note 1 Accounting Policies and Note 3 Loans and Related Allowance for Credit Losses.

**<u>Investment Securities</u>**

Investment securities of $138.2 billion at December 31, 2025 decreased $1.5 billion, or 1%, compared to December 31, 2024 primarily due to net paydowns and maturities in the held-to-maturity portfolio, partially offset by net purchase activity in the available-for-sale portfolio.

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 LCR, NSFR and other internal and external guidelines and constraints.

(a)Of our total securities portfolio, 97% were rated AAA/AA at both December 31, 2025 and 2024.

(b)Amortized cost is presented net of the allowance for investment securities, which totaled $66 million at December 31, 2025 and primarily related to non-agency commercial mortgage-backed securities. The comparable amount at December 31, 2024 was $91 million.

(c)Collateralized primarily by multifamily housing, office buildings, retail properties, lodging properties and industrial properties.

(d)Collateralized primarily by consumer credit products, corporate debt and government guaranteed education loans.

(e)Includes state and municipal securities and corporate bonds.

(f)Includes available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities, which are recorded on our balance sheet at fair value and amortized cost, respectively.

Table 9 presents our investment securities portfolio by amortized cost and fair value. The difference between fair value and amortized cost at December 31, 2025 primarily reflected the impact of interest rate changes on the valuation of fixed-rate securities. We

continually monitor the credit risk in our portfolio and maintain the allowance for investment securities at an appropriate level to absorb expected credit losses on our investment securities portfolio for the remaining contractual term of the securities adjusted for expected prepayments. See Note 2 Investment Securities for additional details regarding the allowance for investment securities.

The duration of investment securities was 3.5 years at both December 31, 2025 and 2024. We estimate that at December 31, 2025 the effective duration of investment securities was 3.5 years for an immediate 50 basis points parallel increase in interest rates and 3.4 years for an immediate 50 basis points parallel decrease in interest rates. Comparable amounts at December 31, 2024 for the effective duration of investment securities were 3.4 years and 3.5 years, respectively.

Based on expected prepayment speeds, the weighted-average expected maturity of the investment securities portfolio was 5.2 years and 5.3 years at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

(a) Includes $3.6 billion of certain brokered time deposits accounted for under the fair value option at December 31, 2025.

Deposits are considered an attractive source of funding due to their stability and relatively low cost to fund. Compared to December 31, 2024, our funding source composition included higher deposit balances partially offset by lower borrowed funds, primarily related to decreased FHLB advances. This shift in composition contributed to the decrease in funding costs for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024.

Total deposits increased compared to December 31, 2024 as higher interest-bearing deposits were partially offset by lower noninterest-bearing deposits. The increase in interest-bearing deposits was due to higher commercial and consumer deposits, partially offset by lower brokered time deposits. The decrease in noninterest-bearing deposits reflected lower commercial balances, partially offset by higher consumer balances. Our total brokered deposit balances of $5.1 billion at December 31, 2025 and $7.3 billion at December 31, 2024, were significantly below both our internal and regulatory guidelines and limits.

Borrowed funds decreased primarily due to lower FHLB advances, partially offset by higher senior debt outstanding.

------

The level and composition of borrowed funds fluctuates over time based on many factors, including market conditions, capital considerations, and funding needs, which are primarily driven by changes in loan, deposit and investment securities balances. While our largest source of liquidity on a consolidated basis is the customer deposit base generated by our banking businesses, we also manage our borrowed funds to provide a reliable source of liquidity for our banking and other activities, considering our LCR and NSFR requirements and other internal and external guidelines and constraints. See the Supervision and Regulation section of Item 1 Business, the Liquidity and Capital Management portion of the Risk Management section of this Item 7 and Note 19 Regulatory Matters for additional information regarding our 2025 liquidity and capital activities. See Note 9 Borrowed Funds for additional information related to our borrowings. See the Average Consolidated Balance Sheet and Net Interest Analysis and Analysis of Year-to-Year Changes in Net Interest Income sections of this Item 7 for additional information on year-over-year volume and related funding cost changes.

**<u>Shareholders' Equity</u>**

Total shareholders' equity of $60.6 billion at December 31, 2025 increased $6.2 billion compared to December 31, 2024, primarily due to the benefit of net income of $7.0 billion and an improvement in AOCI of $3.2 billion, partially offset by dividends paid of $3.0 billion and common share repurchases of $1.2 billion.

**BUSINESS SEGMENTS REVIEW**

We have three reportable business segments: Retail Banking, Corporate & Institutional Banking and the Asset Management Group. Our reportable business segments are defined by the nature of products and services, types of customers, methods used to distribute products or provide services and similar financial performance.

Total business segment financial results differ from our consolidated reporting due to the remaining corporate operations, or other activities, that do not meet the criteria for disclosure as a separate reportable business. These other activities include residual activities such as asset and liability management activities including net securities gains or losses, ACL for investment securities, certain trading activities, certain runoff consumer loan portfolios, private equity investments, intercompany eliminations, corporate overhead net of allocations, tax adjustments that are not allocated to business segments, exited businesses and the residual impact from FTP operations. See Table 119 in Note 22 Segment Reporting for additional information.

Certain amounts included in this Business Segments Review differ from those amounts shown in Note 22, primarily due to the presentation in this Financial Review of business net interest income on a taxable-equivalent basis.

See Note 22 Segment Reporting for additional information on our business segments, including a description of each business.

(j)Includes cash and money market balances.

Retail Banking earnings were stable in 2025 compared with 2024 as lower noninterest income, higher noninterest expense and higher provision for credit losses, was offset by an increase in net interest income.

Net interest income increased in the comparison due to wider interest rate spreads on the value of deposits.

Noninterest income decreased in the comparison driven by a gain of $754 million from the Visa exchange program that occurred in the second quarter of 2024 and lower residential mortgage fees, partially offset by lower negative Visa derivative adjustments and increased business activity.

Provision for credit losses primarily reflected portfolio activity.

Noninterest expense increased in the comparison primarily due to technology investments and higher marketing spend.

Retail Banking average total loans decreased in 2025 compared to 2024. Average consumer loans decreased as growth in the automobile portfolio was more than offset by lower residential real estate, as a result of paydowns outpacing new volume, lower credit card loan balances, and continued declines in education loans. Average commercial loans, primarily consisting of business banking loans, were stable in the comparison.

Our focus on growing primary customer relationships is at the core of our deposit strategy in Retail, which is based on attracting and retaining stable, low-cost deposits as a key funding source for PNC. We have taken a disciplined approach to pricing, focused on retaining relationship-based balances and executing on targeted deposit growth and retention strategies aimed at more rate-sensitive customers.

Corporate & Institutional Banking earnings increased $717 million in 2025 compared with 2024 driven by higher revenue and a lower provision for credit losses, partially offset by higher noninterest expense.

Net interest income increased in the comparison primarily due to wider interest rate spreads on the value of deposits and higher average deposit and loan balances, partially offset by narrower interest rate spreads on the value of loans.

Noninterest income increased in the comparison and reflected growth across all categories.

Provision for credit losses was driven by a net increase in the ACL, primarily due to commercial and industrial portfolio activity and changes to macroeconomic scenarios, partially offset by commercial real estate portfolio activity.

Noninterest expense increased in the comparison primarily due to continued investments to support business growth and higher variable compensation associated with increased business activity.

Average loans increased compared with 2024:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Corporate Banking provides lending, equipment finance, treasury management and capital markets products and services to

mid-sized and large corporations, and government and not-for-profit entities. Average loans for this business increased reflecting new production, partially offset by lower average utilization of loan commitments.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Real Estate provides banking, financing, servicing and technology solutions for commercial real estate clients across the country. Average loans for this business declined largely due to paydowns outpacing new production and lower average utilization of loan commitments.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Business Credit provides asset-based lending and equipment financing solutions. The loan and lease portfolio is mainly secured by business assets. Average loans for this business increased reflecting a higher average utilization of loan commitments and new production.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Commercial Banking provides lending, treasury management and capital markets products and services to smaller corporations and businesses. Average loans for this business declined driven by paydowns outpacing new production and lower average utilization of loan commitments.

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 2025 compared to 2024, due to growth in interest-bearing deposits, partially offset by lower noninterest-bearing deposits. We continue to actively monitor the interest rate environment and make adjustments to our deposit strategy in response to evolving market conditions, bank funding needs and client relationship dynamics.

**Product Revenue**

In addition to credit and deposit products for commercial customers, Corporate & Institutional Banking offers treasury management capabilities, capital markets and advisory 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 and noninterest income, as appropriate. From a business perspective, the majority of the revenue and expense related to these services is reflected in the Corporate & Institutional Banking segment results, with the remainder reflected in the results of other businesses where the customer relationships exist. The Other Information section in Table 13 includes the consolidated revenue to PNC for treasury management and commercial mortgage banking services. A discussion of the consolidated revenue from these services follows.

The Treasury Management business provides corporations with cash and investment management services, receivables and disbursement management services, funds transfer services and access to online/mobile information management and reporting services. 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 includes funding credit from all treasury management customer deposit balances. Compared with 2024, treasury management revenue increased due to wider interest rate spreads on the value of deposits, growth in average deposit balances and higher product revenue.

Commercial mortgage banking activities include revenue derived from commercial mortgage servicing (both net interest income and

noninterest income), revenue derived from commercial mortgage loans held for sale and hedges related to those activities. Total

revenue from commercial mortgage banking activities increased in the comparison primarily due to higher commercial mortgage loan servicing income and revenue from commercial mortgage loans held for sale.

Capital markets and advisory includes services and activities primarily related to merger and acquisition advisory, equity capital markets advisory, asset-backed financing, loan syndication, securities underwriting and customer-related trading. The increase in capital markets and advisory fees in the comparison was largely driven by higher merger and acquisition advisory fees, asset-backed financing fees and underwriting fees.

The Asset Management Group consists of two primary businesses: PNC Private Bank and Institutional Asset Management.

The PNC Private Bank is focused on being a premier private bank in each of the markets it serves, seeking to deliver high quality banking, trust and investment management services to our emerging affluent, high net worth and ultra-high net worth clients through a

broad array of products and services.

Institutional Asset Management provides outsourced chief investment officer, custody, cash and fixed income client solutions, and retirement plan fiduciary investment services to institutional clients, including corporations, healthcare systems, insurance companies, municipalities and non-profits.

Asset Management Group earnings increased $96 million in 2025 compared with 2024 driven by increased revenue and a higher provision recapture, partially offset by higher noninterest expense.

Net interest income increased in the comparison primarily due to wider interest rate spreads on the value of deposits.

Noninterest income increased in the comparison driven by higher average equity markets and positive net flows.

Noninterest expense increased in the comparison due to continued investments to support business growth.

Average total loans and deposits were stable in the comparison.

Discretionary client assets under management increased in the comparison and included the impact from higher spot equity markets and positive net flows.

**RISK MANAGEMENT**

**<u>Enterprise Risk Management</u>**

We encounter risk as part of the normal course of operating our business. Accordingly, we design our risk governance framework, referred to as the ERM Framework, and risk management processes to help manage this risk. We manage risk in light of our risk appetite to optimize long-term shareholder value while supporting our employees, customers and communities.

Our ERM Framework is structurally aligned with regulatory enhanced prudential standards and heightened standards promulgated by the Federal Reserve and OCC, respectively, which establish minimum requirements for the design and implementation of a risk governance framework. This Risk Management section describes our ERM Framework, which consists of seven core components that provide executive management and the Board of Directors with an aggregate view of significant risks impacting the organization. The seven core components are risk culture, enterprise strategy (including risk appetite, strategic planning, capital and liquidity planning and stress testing), risk governance and oversight framework, risk identification, risk assessments, risk controls and monitoring, and risk aggregation and reporting (see the figure below). The overall Risk Management section of this Item 7 also provides an analysis of the firm's Capital Management and our key areas of risk, which include, but are not limited to Credit, Market, Liquidity and Operational (including Compliance and Information Security). Our use of financial derivatives as part of our overall asset and liability risk management process is also addressed within this Risk Management section.

We operate within a rapidly evolving regulatory and financial services environment. Accordingly, we are actively focused on the timely incorporation of applicable regulatory pronouncements and emerging risks into our ERM Framework.

![rm.jpg](pnc-20251231_g2.jpg)

**Risk Culture**

A strong risk culture helps us make well informed decisions, helps ensure individuals conform to the established culture, reduces an individual's ability to do something for personal gain, and rewards employees for working toward a common goal rather than individual interests. Our risk culture reinforces the appropriate protocols for responsible and ethical behavior. These protocols are especially critical in terms of our risk awareness, risk-taking behavior and risk management practices.

Managing risk is every employee's responsibility. All of our employees, individually and collectively, are responsible for ensuring the organization is performing with the utmost integrity, is applying sound risk management practices and is striving to achieve our stated objectives. All employees are also responsible for understanding our Enterprise Risk Appetite Statement, the ERM Framework and how risk management applies to their respective roles and responsibilities. Employees are encouraged to collaborate across groups to identify and mitigate risks and elevate issues as required. We reinforce risk management responsibilities through a performance management system where employee performance goals include risk management objectives and incentives for employees to reinforce balanced measures of risk-adjusted performance.

Proactive and open communication, between groups and up to the Board of Directors, facilitates timely identification and resolution of risk issues. Our multi-level risk committee structure provides formal channels to identify and report risk.

**Enterprise Strategy**

We seek to ensure that our overall enterprise strategy is within acceptable risk parameters through our risk appetite, strategic planning, capital and liquidity planning and stress testing processes. These components are reviewed and approved at least annually by the Board of Directors or one of its committees.

*Risk Appetite*: Our risk appetite represents the organization's desired enterprise risk position, set within our capital-based risk and liquidity capacity to achieve our strategic objectives and business plans. The Enterprise Risk Appetite Statement qualitatively describes the aggregate level of risk we are willing to accept in order to execute our business strategies. Qualitative guiding principles further define each of the risks within our taxonomy to support the risk appetite statement. Risk appetite metrics and limits, including forward-looking metrics, quantitatively measure whether we are operating within our stated risk appetite. Our risk appetite metrics reflect material risks, align with our established Risk Appetite Framework, balance risk and reward, leverage analytics, and are adjusted periodically based on changes in the external and internal risk environments.

*Strategic Planning*: Our enterprise and line of business strategic plans outline major objectives, strategies and goals which are expected to be achieved over the next five years while seeking to ensure we remain compliant with all capital, risk appetite and liquidity targets and guidelines. Our chief executive officer and chief financial officer lead the development of the corporate strategic plan.

*Capital and Liquidity Planning and Stress Testing*: Capital and liquidity planning helps to ensure we are maintaining safe and sound operations and viability. The planning processes and the resulting plans evolve as our overall risks, activities and risk management practices change. Additionally, both plans must align with our strategic planning process. Stress testing is an essential element of the capital planning and liquidity risk management processes. Effective stress testing enables us to consider the estimated effect on the firm's capital and liquidity positions across various hypothetical macroeconomic scenarios.

**Risk Governance and Oversight**

We employ a comprehensive risk management governance framework to help ensure that risks are identified, balanced decisions are made that consider risk and return, and risks are adequately monitored and managed. Risk committees established within this risk governance and oversight framework provide oversight for risk management activities at the Board of Directors, executive, corporate

The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. – *2025 Form 10-K* **51**

------

and business levels. Committee composition is designed to provide effective oversight balanced across the three lines of defense in accordance with the OCC's heightened standards and the Federal Reserve Board's enhanced prudential standards. See the Supervision and Regulation section in Item 1 of this Report for more information.

To help ensure appropriate risks are being taken and effectively managed and controlled, risk is managed across three lines of defense. A summary of the Board of Directors' and each line of defense's responsibilities is provided below:

*Board of Directors –* The Board of Directors oversees our risk-taking activities, holds management accountable for adhering to the ERM Framework and is responsible for exercising sound, independent judgment when assessing risk.

*First line of defense* – The front line units are accountable for identifying, owning and managing risks to within acceptable levels while adhering to the ERM Framework. Our businesses strive to enhance risk management and internal control processes within their areas. Integrated and comprehensive processes are designed to adequately manage the business' risk profile and risk appetite through identifying, assessing, monitoring and reporting risks that may significantly impact each business.

*Second line of defense –* The second line of defense is independent from the first line of defense and is responsible for establishing the risk governance framework and the standards within each independent risk area for identifying, measuring, monitoring, controlling and reporting aggregate risks. As the second line of defense, the independent risk areas monitor the risks generated by the first line of defense, review and challenge the implementation of effective risk management practices, perform independent assessment of risk, and report on issues or exceptions. The risk areas help to ensure processes and controls owned by the businesses are designed and operating as intended*.*

*Third line of defense* – As the third line of defense, Internal Audit is independent from the first and second lines of defense. Internal Audit provides the Board of Directors and executive management comprehensive assurance on the effectiveness of the ERM Framework and the risk management practices across the organization.

Within the three lines of defense, the independent risk organization has sufficient authority to influence material decisions. Our business oversight and decision-making is supported through a governance structure at the Board of Directors and management level. Specific responsibilities include:

*Board of Directors –* Our Board of Directors oversees our business and affairs as managed by our officers and employees. The Board of Directors may receive assistance in carrying out its duties and may delegate authority through standing or special committees. The following provides a summary of some of the key responsibilities of the Board's standing committees:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Audit Committee*: monitors the integrity of our consolidated financial statements; monitors the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting; monitors compliance with our code of ethics; oversees conduct risk management; evaluates a periodic, independent assessment of subsidiary banks' overall risk governance and risk management practices; monitors compliance with certain legal and regulatory requirements; evaluates and monitors the qualifications and independence of our independent auditors; and evaluates and monitors the performance of our Internal Audit function and our independent auditors.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Nominating and Governance Committee*: oversees the implementation of sound corporate governance principles and practices while promoting the best interests of our shareholders.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Human Resources Committee*: oversees the compensation of our executive officers and other specified responsibilities related to human resources matters affecting us, including succession planning; responsible for evaluating the relationship between risk-taking activities and incentive compensation plans.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Risk Committee*: oversees the establishment and implementation of our enterprise-wide risk governance framework, including related policies, procedures, activities and processes to identify, assess, monitor, manage and report the organization's material risks; evaluates and approves our overall risk governance framework (including risk appetite), approves significant changes to the framework and monitors compliance with the framework; reviews capital stress testing and capital management activities and makes related recommendations to the Board as appropriate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Corporate Responsibility Committee*: oversees management's corporate responsibility efforts, internally and externally, to the extent such corporate responsibility efforts are not specifically within the purview of another Board committee (e.g., climate-related risks and climate-related financial disclosures), including oversight of management's continued development and evaluation of the appropriate components of such efforts.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Technology Committee*: oversees technology strategy and significant technology initiatives and programs, including those that can position the use of technology to drive strategic advantages, and fulfills the oversight responsibilities delegated from the Risk Committee with respect to technology risk, information management and security risks (including data risk, cybersecurity, cyber fraud and physical security risks), and the adequacy of PNC's business recovery, continuity and contingency plans and test results.

**52**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. – *2025 Form 10-K*

------

*Management Executive Committee* – The Management Executive Committee is responsible for guiding the creation and execution of our business strategy across PNC. With this responsibility, the Management Executive Committee executes various strategic approval and review activities, with a focus on capital deployment, business performance and risk management.

*Corporate Committees* – The Corporate Committees generally operate based on the delegated approval authority from a Board-level Committee, the Management Executive Committee or other Corporate Committees. These Committees operate at the senior management level and are designed to facilitate the review, evaluation, oversight and approval of key business and risk activities.

*Working Committees* – Working Committees generally operate on delegated approval authority from a Corporate Committee or other Working Committees. Working Committees are intended to provide oversight of regulatory/legal matters, assist in the implementation of key enterprise-level activities within a business or function and support the oversight of key risk activities.

*Transactional Committees* – Transactional Committees generally operate based on delegated approval authority from a Corporate or Working Committee to approve individual transactions, transactional related activities or movements on the organization's balance sheet.

*Policies and Procedures* – We have established risk management Policies and Procedures to support our ERM Framework, articulate our risk culture, define the parameters and processes within which employees are to manage risk and conduct our business activities and to provide direction, guidance and clarity on roles and responsibilities to management and the Board of Directors. These Policies and Procedures are organized in a multi-tiered framework and require periodic review and approval by relevant Committees, including where appropriate Committees of the Board of Directors, or management.

**Risk Identification**

Risk identification takes place across a variety of risk types throughout the organization. These risk types include, but are not limited to, credit, liquidity, market and operational (which includes, among other types of risk, compliance and information security). Risks are identified based on a balanced use of analytical tools and management judgment for both on- and off-balance sheet exposures. Our governance structure supports risk identification by facilitating assessment of key risk issues, emerging risks and idiosyncratic risks and implementation of mitigation strategies as appropriate. These risks are prioritized based on quantitative and qualitative analysis and assessed against our risk appetite. Multiple tools and approaches are used to help identify and prioritize risks, including Risk Appetite Metrics, Key Risk Indicators, Key Performance Indicators, Risk and Control Self-Assessments, scenario analysis, stress testing and special assessments.

Risks are aggregated and assessed within and across risk functions and businesses. The aggregated risk information is reviewed and reported at an enterprise level to the Board of Directors or appropriate committees. This enterprise aggregation and reporting approach promotes the identification and appropriate escalation of material risks across the organization and supports an understanding of the cumulative impact of risk in relation to our risk appetite.

**Risk Assessments**

Once risks are identified, they are evaluated based on quantitative and qualitative analysis to determine whether they are material. Risk assessments support the overall management of an effective ERM Framework and help us to control and monitor our actual risk level and risk management effectiveness. Comprehensive, accurate and timely assessments of risk are essential to an effective ERM Framework. Risk assessments also support the implementation of mitigation strategies, or under certain circumstances, the decision to accept the risk (if there are no feasible alternatives to the business need, or the exposure may be significantly reduced or eliminated within a reasonable time frame through the course of business-as-usual activities). As part of the risk assessment processes, effective risk measurement practices are designed to uncover recurring risks that have been experienced in the past; facilitate the monitoring, understanding, analysis and reporting of known risks, including emerging risks; and reveal unanticipated risks that may not be easy to understand or predict.

**Risk Controls and Monitoring**

Our ERM Framework consists of policies, procedures, processes, personnel and control systems. Risk controls and limits provide the linkage from our Risk Appetite Statement and associated guiding principles to the risk-taking activities of our businesses. In addition to risk appetite limits, a system of more detailed internal controls exists which oversees and monitors our various processes and functions. These control systems measure performance, help employees make correct decisions, help ensure information is accurate and reliable and facilitate compliance with laws and regulations.

We design our monitoring and evaluation of risks and controls to provide assurance that policies, procedures and controls are effective and also to identify potential control improvements. Risk monitoring is a daily, ongoing process used by both the first and second line of defense to help ensure compliance with our ERM Framework. Risk monitoring is accomplished in many ways, including performing risk assessments at the business and risk assessment unit level, monitoring an area's key controls, the timely reporting of issues and establishing a quality control and/or quality assurance function, as applicable.

The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. – *2025 Form 10-K* **53**

**Risk Aggregation and Reporting**

Risk reporting is a comprehensive way to: (i) identify and communicate aggregate risks, including identified concentrations and themes; (ii) escalate instances where we are outside of our risk appetite; (iii) monitor our risk profile in relation to our risk appetite; and (iv) communicate risks and views on the effectiveness of our risk management activities through the governance structure up to the Board of Directors and executive management.

Risk reports are produced at the line of business, functional risk and enterprise levels. Each individual risk report includes an assessment of inherent risk, quality of risk management, residual risk, risk appetite and risk outlook. The enterprise level risk report aggregates material risks identified in the risk area reports and in the business reports to define the enterprise risk profile. The enterprise risk profile is a point-in-time assessment of enterprise risk and represents our overall risk position in relation to the desired enterprise risk appetite. The determination of the enterprise risk profile is based on analysis of quantitative reporting of risk limits and other measures along with qualitative assessments. Quarterly aggregation of risk reports from the risk areas and lines of business is designed to provide a clear view of our risk level relative to our risk appetite. The enterprise level report is provided through the governance structure to the Risk Committee of the Board of Directors.

**<u>Credit Risk Management</u>**

Credit risk represents the possibility that a customer, counterparty or issuer may not perform in accordance with the contractual terms of their loan, extension of credit or other financial obligation with PNC. Credit risk is inherent in the financial services business and results from extending credit to customers, purchasing securities and entering into financial derivative transactions and certain guarantee contracts. Credit risk is one of our most significant risks. Our processes for managing credit risk are designed to be embedded in our risk culture and in our decision-making processes using a systematic approach whereby credit risks and related exposures are identified and assessed, managed through specific policies and processes, measured and evaluated against our risk appetite and credit concentration limits, and reported, along with specific mitigation activities, to management and the Board of Directors through our governance structure. Our most significant concentration of credit risk is in our loan portfolio.

**Loan Portfolio Characteristics and Analysis**

***Table 15: Details of Loans***

In billions

![76](pnc-20251231_g3.jpg)

We use several credit quality indicators, as further detailed in Note 3 Loans and Related Allowance for Credit Losses, to monitor and measure our exposure to credit risk within our loan portfolio. The following provides additional information about the significant loan classes that comprise our Commercial and Consumer portfolio segments.

<u>Commercial</u>

<u>C</u>*<u>ommercial and Industrial</u>*

Commercial and industrial loans comprised 59% and 56% of our total loan portfolio at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The majority of our commercial and industrial loans are secured by collateral that provides a secondary source of repayment should a 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, owner-occupied real estate and other business assets.

**54**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. – *2025 Form 10-K*

------

We actively manage our commercial and industrial 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 PD and 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 monitor different sources of concentration risk, including industry concentrations that may exist in our portfolio. Our commercial and industrial portfolio is well-diversified across industries as shown in the following table (based on the North American Industry Classification System).

(a)Represents loans to customers in the real estate and construction industries.

Owner occupied commercial real estate loans totaled $9.0 billion and $9.2 billion at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. These loans are categorized as commercial and industrial loans as the credit decisioning for servicing these loans is based on the financial conditions of the owner, not the ability of the collateral to generate income. Owner occupied commercial real estate loans are well-diversified across industries.

*<u>Commercial Real Estate</u>*

Commercial real estate loans of $29.6 billion as of December 31, 2025 comprised $17.4 billion related to commercial mortgages on income-producing properties, $8.2 billion of intermediate-term financing loans and $4.0 billion of real estate construction project loans. At December 31, 2024, comparable amounts were $33.6 billion, $19.3 billion, $8.6 billion and $5.7 billion, respectively. Commercial real estate primarily consists of an investment in land and/or buildings held to generate income which serves as the primary source for the repayment of the loan. However, the disposition of the assigned collateral serves as a secondary source of repayment for the loan should the borrower experience cash generation difficulties.

We monitor credit risk associated with our commercial real estate loans similar to commercial and industrial loans by analyzing PD and LGD. Additionally, risks associated with commercial real estate loans tend to be correlated to the loan structure, collateral location and quality, 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.

(a)Presented in descending order based on loan balances at December 31, 2025.

*<u>Commercial Real Estate: Office Portfolio</u>*

Given the fundamental change in office demand, real estate performance related to the office sector continues to be an area of focus. Our office portfolio remains geographically diversified. At December 31, 2025, our outstanding loan balances in the office portfolio totaled $5.1 billion, or 1.5% of total loans, while additional unfunded loan commitments totaled $0.1 billion. Within this population, criticized loans totaled 34.0% and nonperforming loans totaled 11.1%. We have established reserves of 11.0% against office loans, which we believe reflect the expected credit losses in this portfolio.

Continuing in response to structural shifts in office demand, the office portfolio remains a heightened focus with quarterly internal risk ratings, accelerated reappraisal requirements, and elevated credit approval standards. Additionally, active management efforts include ongoing performance assessments as well as the review of available market pricing information, including property valuations. Portfolio updates are distributed to senior management weekly. For information on commercial real estate appraisal procedures, refer to Note 1 Accounting Policies.

Given the ongoing uncertainty in this area, we expect continued stress in the office sector, and a portion of this stress will bear itself out as we work through maturities that will approximate 46.0% through the twelve months ended December 31, 2026. Upon maturity, and where the balance is not paid in full, an extension may be granted because contractual extension terms are met; alternatively, an extension may be granted based on negotiated terms, and a portion of these extensions may involve the curtailment or charge off of principal.

<u>Consumer</u>

*<u>Residential Real Estate</u>* 

Residential real estate loans primarily consist of residential mortgage loans.

We obtain loan attributes at origination, including FICO scores and LTVs, and we update these and other credit metrics at least quarterly. We track borrower performance monthly. We also segment the mortgage portfolio into pools based on product type (*e.g.*, nonconforming or conforming). This information is used for internal reporting and risk management. 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.

(b)Weighted-averages calculated for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

We originate residential mortgage loans nationwide through our national mortgage business as well as within our branch network. Residential mortgage loans underwritten to 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 agency standards, which we retain on our balance sheet. Our portfolio of originated nonconforming residential mortgage loans totaled $39.5 billion at December 31, 2025 with 46% located in California. Comparable amounts at December 31, 2024 were $41.7 billion and 46%, respectively.

*<u>Home Equity</u>*

Home equity loans of $25.9 billion as of December 31, 2025 were comprised of $22.1 billion of home equity lines of credit and $3.8 billion of closed-end home equity installment loans. At December 31, 2024, comparable amounts were $26.0 billion, $21.3 billion and $4.7 billion, respectively. Home equity lines of credit are a variable interest rate product with fixed rate conversion options available to certain borrowers.

Similar to residential real estate loans, we obtain loan attributes at origination, including FICO scores and LTVs, and we update these and other credit metrics at least quarterly. Borrower performance of this portfolio is tracked on a monthly basis. We also segment the population into pools based on product type (*e.g.*, first lien product and second lien product) and track the historical performance of any related mortgage loans regardless of whether we hold such liens. This information is used for internal reporting and risk management. 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, lien position and geographic concentration.

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 determined at the time of origination and monitored on an ongoing basis for risk management purposes. We use a third-party service provider to obtain updated loan information, including lien and collateral data that is aggregated from public and private sources.

*<u>Automobile</u>*

As of December 31, 2025 total auto loans of $16.6 billion were comprised of $15.6 billion in the indirect auto portfolio and $1.0 billion in the direct auto portfolio. At December 31, 2024, comparable amounts were $15.4 billion, $14.4 billion and $1.0 billion, respectively. The indirect auto portfolio consists of loans originated primarily through independent franchised dealers. This business is strategically aligned with our core retail banking business. For the total auto loan portfolio, the weighted-average loan origination FICO score, calculated using the auto enhanced FICO scale, was 799 and the weighted-average term of loan originations was 71 months for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025. Comparable amounts for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 were 793 and 71 months, respectively.

We offer both new and used auto financing to customers through our various channels. The portfolio balance was composed of 43% new vehicle loans and 57% used vehicle loans at both December 31, 2025 and 2024.

The auto loan portfolio's performance is measured monthly, including both updated collateral values and 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 geography, channel, collateral attributes and credit metrics which include FICO score, LTV and term.

**Nonperforming Assets and Loan Delinquencies**

<u>Nonperforming Assets</u>

Nonperforming assets include nonperforming loans and leases, OREO, foreclosed and other assets. Nonperforming loans are those loans accounted for at amortized cost whose credit quality has deteriorated to the extent full collection of contractual principal and interest is not probable. Loans held for sale, certain government insured or guaranteed loans and loans accounted for under the fair value option are excluded from nonperforming loans. See Note 1 Accounting Policies for details on our nonaccrual policies.

As of December 31, 2025, approximately 96% of total nonperforming loans were secured by collateral.

<u>Loan Delinquencies</u>

We regularly monitor the level of loan delinquencies and believe these levels are a key indicator of credit quality in our loan portfolio. Measurement of delinquency status is based on the contractual terms of each loan. Loans that are 30 days or more past due are considered delinquent. Loan delinquencies include government insured or guaranteed loans, loans accounted for under the fair value option and PCD loans. Amounts exclude loans held for sale.

We manage credit risk based on the risk profile of the borrower, repayment sources, underlying collateral, and other support given current events, economic conditions and expectations. We refine our practices to address operating environment changes such as inflation levels, industry specific risks, interest rate levels, the level of consumer savings and deposit balances, and structural and secular changes such as those that arose from the pandemic. We offer loan modifications and collection programs to assist our customers and mitigate losses.

---

(a)Past due loan amounts include government insured or guaranteed loans of $0.4 billion at both December 31, 2025 and 2024.

Accruing loans past due 90 days or more continue to accrue interest because they are (i) well secured by collateral and are in the process of collection, (ii) managed in homogeneous portfolios with specified charge-off timeframes adhering to regulatory guidelines, or (iii) certain government insured or guaranteed loans. As such, they are excluded from nonperforming loans.

**Loan Modifications**

We may provide relief to our customers experiencing financial hardships through a variety of solutions. Commercial loan and lease modifications are based on each individual borrower's situation, while consumer loan modifications are evaluated under our hardship relief programs. For additional information on our commercial real estate, office-related modification offerings, see the Commercial Real Estate portion of the Credit Risk Management section of this Financial Review.

See Note 3 Loans and Related Allowance for Credit Losses for additional information on loan modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty.

**Allowance for Credit Losses** 

Our determination of the ACL is based on historical loss and performance experience, current economic conditions, the reasonable and

supportable forecasts of future economic conditions and other relevant factors, including current borrower and/or transaction characteristics and assessments of the remaining estimated contractual term as of the balance sheet date. We maintain the ACL at an appropriate level for expected losses on our existing investment securities, loans, equipment finance leases, other financial assets and unfunded lending related commitments.

Expected losses are estimated primarily using a combination of (i) the expected losses over a reasonable and supportable forecast

**60**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. – *2025 Form 10-K*

------

period, (ii) a period of reversion to long run average expected losses, where applicable and (iii) long run average expected losses for the remaining estimated contractual term.

We use forward-looking information in estimating expected credit losses for our reasonable and supportable forecast period. For this purpose, we have established a framework which includes a three-year forecast period and the use of four economic scenarios and associated probability weights, which in combination create a forecast of expected economic outcomes. Forward-looking information, such as forecasted relevant macroeconomic variables, is incorporated into the expected credit loss estimates using quantitative macroeconomic models, as well as through analysis from PNC's economists and management's judgment.

The reversion period is used to bridge our three-year reasonable and supportable forecast period and the long-run average expected credit losses. We consider a number of factors in determining the duration of the reversion period, such as contractual maturity of the asset, observed historical patterns and the estimated credit loss rates at the end of the forecast period relative to the beginning of the long run average period. The reversion period is typically 1-3 years, if not immediate.

The long-run average expected credit losses are derived from available historical credit information. We use long-run average expected losses for the portfolio over the estimated remaining contractual term beyond our reasonable and supportable forecast period and the reversion period.

The following discussion provides additional information on our reserves for loans and leases as well as unfunded lending related commitments. See Note 1 Accounting Policies for further discussion on our ACL, including details of our methodologies and discussion of the allowances for investment securities and other financial assets. See also the Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments section of this Report for further discussion of the assumptions used in the determination of the ACL as of December 31, 2025.

<u>Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses</u>

Our pooled expected credit loss methodology is based upon the quantification of PD, LGD, EAD and the remaining estimated contractual term for a loan, loan segment or lease. We also consider the impact of prepayments and amortization on the estimated contractual term in our expected loss estimates. We use historical data, current borrower characteristics and forecasted economic variables in quantitative methods to estimate these risk parameters by loan, loan segment or lease. PD represents a quantification of risk of the likelihood that a borrower may not be able to pay their contractual obligation over a defined period of time. LGD describes the estimated magnitude of potential loss if a borrower were to default, and EAD (or utilization rates for certain revolving loans) is the estimated balance outstanding at the expected time of default. These parameters are calculated for each forecasted scenario and the long-run average period, and are combined to generate expected loss estimates by scenario in proportion to the scenario weights.

For loans and leases that do not share similar risk characteristics with a pool of loans, we establish individually assessed reserves using methods prescribed by GAAP. Reserves for individual commercial nonperforming loans exceeding a defined dollar threshold are based on an analysis of the present value of the loan's expected future cash flows or the fair value of the collateral, if appropriate under our policy for collateral dependent loans. Commercial nonperforming loans that are below the defined threshold are collectively reserved for, as we believe these loans continue to share similar risk characteristics. For consumer nonperforming loans classified as collateral dependent, charge-off and ALLL related to recovery of amounts previously charged-off are evaluated through an analysis of the fair value of the collateral less costs to sell.

While our reserve models and methodologies strive to reflect all relevant expected credit risk factors, there continues to be uncertainty associated with, but not limited to, potential imprecision in the estimation process due to the inherent time lag of obtaining information and normal variations between expected and actual outcomes. We may hold additional reserves that are designed to provide coverage for losses attributable to such risks. A portion of the allowance is related to qualitative measurement factors. These factors may include, but are not limited to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Industry concentrations and conditions,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Changes in market conditions, including regulatory and legal requirements,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Changes in the nature and volume of our portfolio,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Recent credit quality trends,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Recent loss experience in particular portfolios, including specific and unique events,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Recent macroeconomic factors that may not be reflected in the forecast information,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Limitations of available input data, including historical loss information and recent data such as collateral values,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Model imprecision and limitations,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Changes in lending policies and procedures, including changes in loss recognition and mitigation policies and procedures, and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Timing of available information.

<u>Allowance for Unfunded Lending Related Commitments</u>

We maintain the allowance for unfunded lending related commitments on off-balance sheet credit exposures that are not unconditionally cancelable, (*e.g.,* unfunded loan commitments, letters of credit and certain financial guarantees) at a level we believe is appropriate as of the balance sheet date to absorb expected credit losses on these exposures. Other than the estimation of the probability of funding, this reserve is estimated in a manner similar to the methodology used for determining reserves for pooled loans and leases. The allowance for unfunded lending related commitments is recorded as a liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Net adjustments to this reserve are included in the provision for credit losses on the Consolidated Income Statement.

Total net charge-offs decreased $297 million, or 29%, in 2025 compared to 2024. The decrease in the comparison was driven by lower net charge-offs in both our commercial and consumer portfolios, primarily attributable to decreases in commercial real estate and credit card loan classes.

See Note 1 Accounting Policies and Note 3 Loans and Related Allowance for Credit Losses for additional information.

**<u>Liquidity and Capital Management</u>** 

The two fundamental components of liquidity risk are a potential loss assuming we are unable to meet our funding requirements at a reasonable cost, and the potential inability to operate our businesses because adequate contingent liquidity is not available. We manage liquidity risk at the consolidated company level (bank, parent company and all subsidiaries combined) to help ensure that we can obtain cost-effective funding to meet current and future obligations under both normal "business as usual" and stressful circumstances. We also maintain a liquidity position and use liquidity risk management practices that we believe are appropriate considering PNC and PNC Bank's capital adequacy, risk profile, complexity, activities, and size, as well as applicable regulatory liquidity requirements and associated regulatory practices.

We perform ongoing monitoring of liquidity through a series of early warning indicators tailored to PNC's risk profile, complexity, activities, and size that may identify a potential market, or PNC-specific, liquidity stress event. In addition, management performs a set of internal liquidity stress tests over multiple time horizons with varying levels of severity and maintains a contingency funding plan to address a potential liquidity stress event. Liquidity-related risk limits and operating guidelines are established within our Enterprise Liquidity Management Policy covering regulatory metrics and various concentration limits. Management committees, including the ALCO, and the Board of Directors and its Risk Committee regularly review compliance with key established limits. PNC was in compliance with all relevant internal and regulatory liquidity limits and guidelines throughout the year for 2025 and 2024.

The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. – *2025 Form 10-K* **63**

------

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. PNC and PNC Bank calculate the LCR daily and are required to maintain a regulatory minimum of 100%. The LCR for both PNC and PNC Bank exceeded the regulatory minimum requirement throughout the year for 2025 and 2024.

Fluctuations in our LCR result from changes to the components of the calculation, including high-quality liquid assets and net cash outflows, as a result of ongoing business activity.

The NSFR is designed to measure the stability of the maturity structure of assets and liabilities of banking organizations over a one-year time horizon. PNC and PNC Bank calculate the NSFR daily and are required to maintain a regulatory minimum of 100%. The NSFR for PNC and PNC Bank exceeded the regulatory minimum requirement throughout the year for 2025 and 2024.

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 this Report.

**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 $440.9 billion at December 31, 2025 from $426.7 billion at December 31, 2024 as higher interest-bearing deposits were partially offset by lower noninterest-bearing deposits. The increase in interest-bearing deposits was due to higher commercial and consumer deposits, partially offset by lower brokered time deposits. The decrease in noninterest-bearing deposits reflected lower commercial balances, partially offset by higher consumer balances.

The aggregate amount of uninsured deposits, based on the regulatory instructions in the Consolidated Reports of Condition and Income - FFIEC 031, was estimated to be $209.3 billion and $194.9 billion at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The portion of U.S. time deposits in excess of the FDIC insurance limit or similar state deposit regime was $5.2 billion at December 31, 2025. The majority of our uninsured deposits are related to commercial operating and relationship accounts, which we define as commercial deposit customers who utilize two or more PNC products. See the Funding Sources in the Consolidated Balance Sheet Review and the Business Segments Review of this Item 7 for additional information on our deposits and related strategies.

We may also obtain liquidity through various forms of funding, such as senior notes, subordinated debt, FHLB advances, securities

sold under repurchase agreements, commercial paper and other short-term borrowings. See the Funding Sources in the Consolidated Balance Sheet Review of this Item 7 and Note 9 Borrowed Funds included in this Report for additional information related to our borrowings.

Total senior and subordinated debt, on a consolidated basis, increased due to the following activity:

***Table 26: Senior and Subordinated Debt***

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| In billions | 2025 |
| January 1 | $36.6 |
| Issuances | 8.0 |
| Calls and maturities | (4.0) |
| Other | 1.1 |
| December 31 | $41.7 |

---

Additionally, PNC maintains access to contingent funding sources that include unused borrowing capacity and certain liquid assets.

PNC has a contingency funding plan designed to ensure that liquidity sources are sufficient to meet ongoing obligations and

commitments, particularly in the event of liquidity stress. This plan is designed to examine and quantify the organization's liquidity under various internal liquidity stress scenarios and is periodically tested to assess the plan's reliability. Additionally, the plan provides the strategies for addressing liquidity needs and responsive actions we would consider during liquidity stress events, which could include the issuance of incremental debt, preferred stock, or additional deposit actions, including the issuance of brokered time deposits. The plan also addresses the governance, frequency of reporting and the responsibilities of key departments in the event of liquidity stress.

**64**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. – *2025 Form 10-K*

------

PNC defines our primary contingent liquidity sources as cash held at the FRB, investment securities and unused borrowing capacity at the FHLB and FRB. The following table summarizes our primary contingent liquidity sources at December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024:

***Table 27*: *Primary Contingent Liquidity Sources***

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| In billions | December 31, 2025 | December 31, 2024 |
| Cash balance with Federal Reserve Bank | $32.0 | $39.0 |
| Available investment securities (a) | 77.2 | 64.5 |
| Unused borrowing capacity from FHLB (b) | 50.7 | 51.0 |
| Unused borrowing capacity from Federal Reserve Bank (c) | 81.5 | 77.9 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Total available contingent liquidity | $241.4 | $232.4 |

---

(a)Represents the fair value of investment securities that can be used for pledging or to secure other sources of funding.

(b)At December 31, 2025, total FHLB borrowing capacity was $64.1 billion and total FHLB advances and letters of credit were $13.4 billion. Comparable amounts at December 31, 2024 were $73.3 billion and $22.3 billion, respectively.

(c)Total borrowing capacity with the FRB was $81.5 billion at December 31, 2025 and $77.9 billion at December 31, 2024. PNC had no outstanding borrowings with the FRB at December 31, 2025 and 2024.

**Bank Liquidity**

In addition to our primary contingent liquidity sources, 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 December 31, 2025, PNC Bank's remaining capacity to issue under the program was $32.0 billion.

The following table details PNC Bank note issuances during 2025:

***Table 28: PNC Bank Notes Issued***

See Note 24 Subsequent Events for details on PNC Bank's redemptions of all outstanding 4.775% senior fixed-to-floating rate notes with an original maturity date of January 15, 2027, and all outstanding senior floating rate bank notes with an original maturity date of January 15, 2027.

Under PNC Bank's 2013 commercial paper program, PNC Bank has the ability to offer up to $10.0 billion of its commercial paper to provide additional liquidity. As of December 31, 2025, there were no issuances outstanding under this program.

Additionally, PNC Bank may also access funding from the parent company through deposits placed at the bank or issuing intercompany unsecured notes.

**Parent Company Liquidity**

In addition to managing liquidity risk at the bank level, we manage 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 liquidity to fund discretionary activities such as paying dividends to our shareholders, share repurchases and acquisitions.

The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. – *2025 Form 10-K* **65**

------

As of December 31, 2025, available parent company liquidity totaled $29.7 billion. Parent company liquidity is held in intercompany cash and investments. For investments with longer durations, 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 or other capital distributions it receives from PNC Bank, which may be impacted by the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Bank-level capital needs,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Laws, regulations and the results of supervisory activities,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Corporate policies,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Contractual restrictions, and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 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 $8.4 billion at December 31, 2025. See Note 19 Regulatory Matters for 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. Under the parent company's 2014 commercial paper program, the parent company has the ability to offer up to $5.0 billion of commercial paper to provide additional liquidity. At December 31, 2025, there were no issuances outstanding under this program.

See Note 24 Subsequent Events for details on the parent company's redemption of all outstanding 4.758% senior fixed-to-floating rate notes with an original maturity date of January 26, 2027.

Parent company senior and subordinated debt carrying value totaled $33.7 billion and $28.4 billion at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

**Contractual Obligations and Commitments** 

We enter into various contractual arrangements in the normal course of business, certain of which require future payments that could

impact our liquidity and capital resources. These obligations include commitments to extend credit, outstanding letters of credit,

customer deposits, borrowed funds, operating lease payments and future pension and post-retirement benefits. For further discussion

related to these contractual obligations and other commitments, see Note 6 Leases, Note 8 Time Deposits, Note 9 Borrowed Funds,

Note 10 Commitments and Note 16 Employee Benefit Plans.

**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. For additional information on the potential impacts from a downgrade to our credit ratings, see Item 1A Risk Factors in this Report.

The following table presents credit ratings and outlook for PNC as of December 31, 2025:

(b)DBRS does not provide a short-term depositor rating. PNC Bank's short-term instrument rating is R-1 (high).

**Capital Management**

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.

The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. – *2025 Form 10-K* **67**

------

In 2025, we returned $3.9 billion of capital to shareholders through dividends on common shares of more than $2.6 billion and repurchases of 6.8 million common shares for $1.2 billion. The SCB framework permits capital return in amounts in excess of SCB minimum levels. Consistent with this framework, PNC had approximately 35% of the 100 million common shares still available for repurchase at December 31, 2025 under the repurchase program previously approved by our Board of Directors. First quarter 2026 share repurchase activity is expected to approximate $600 million to $700 million. PNC may adjust share repurchase activity depending on market and economic conditions, as well as other factors. PNC's SCB for the four-quarter period beginning October 1, 2025 is the regulatory minimum of 2.5%.

On January 5, 2026, the PNC Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend on common stock of $1.70 per share paid on February 5, 2026 to shareholders of record at the close of business January 20, 2026.

See the Supervision and Regulation section of Item 1 Business in this Report for further information concerning the CCAR and

DFAST process and the factors the Federal Reserve takes into consideration in its evaluation of capital plans.

---

(a)As permitted, PNC and PNC Bank have elected to exclude AOCI related to both available-for-sale securities and pension and other post-retirement plans from CET1 capital.

(b)Basel III standardized approach risk-weighted-assets are based on the Basel III standardized approach rules and include credit and market risk-weighted assets.

(c)The supplementary leverage ratio is calculated based on tier 1 capital divided by supplementary leverage exposure, which takes into account the quarterly average of both on balance sheet assets as well as certain off-balance sheet items, including loan commitments and potential future exposure under derivative contracts.

(d)All ratios are calculated using the regulatory capital methodology applicable to PNC and calculated based on the standardized approach.

(e)The leverage ratio is calculated based on tier 1 capital divided by average quarterly adjusted total assets.

PNC's regulatory risk-based capital ratios 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, nonaccruals, FDMs, past due exposures and equity exposures are generally subject to higher risk weights than other types of exposures.

At December 31, 2025, PNC and PNC Bank were 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%.

**68**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. – *2025 Form 10-K*

Federal banking regulators have stated that they expect the largest U.S. 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 we believe that our December 31, 2025 capital levels were aligned with them.

We provide additional information regarding regulatory capital requirements and some of their potential impacts, including the proposed rules to adjust the Basel III framework, in the Supervision and Regulation section of Item 1 Business, Item 1A Risk Factors and Note 19 Regulatory Matters.

**<u>Market Risk Management</u>**

Market risk is the risk of a loss in earnings or economic value due to adverse movements in market factors such as interest rates, credit spreads, foreign exchange rates, commodity prices and equity prices. We are exposed to market risk primarily by our involvement in the following activities, among others:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Traditional banking activities of gathering deposits and extending loans,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Fixed income securities, derivatives and foreign exchange activities, and securities underwriting as a result of customer activities and our investment portfolio, and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Other investments, including equity, and activities whose economic values are directly impacted by market factors.

We have established enterprise-wide policies and methodologies to identify, measure, monitor and report market risk. Market Risk Management provides independent oversight by monitoring compliance with established guidelines and reporting significant risks in the business to management committees and, where appropriate, the Risk Committee of the Board of Directors.

**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, 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 market risk-related risk management policies, which are approved by management's ALCO and the Risk Committee of the Board of Directors.

PNC utilizes sensitivities of NII and EVE to a set of interest rate scenarios to identify and measure its short-term and long-term structural interest rate risks.

The following table includes NII sensitivity results as of December 31, 2025 and 2024:

***Table 33: Net Interest Income Sensitivity Analysis***

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | December 31, 2025 | December 31, 2024 |
| **Net Interest Income Sensitivity Simulation (a)** |  |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Effect on NII in the first year from shocked interest rate: |  |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;200 basis point instantaneous increase | 2.0% | (0.6)% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;200 basis point instantaneous decrease | (2.9)% | (0.5)% |

---

(a)The effect on NII in the first year from a 100 basis point instantaneous increase or decrease is approximately half of the disclosed results for the 200 basis point scenarios.

When forecasting NII, we make certain key assumptions that can materially impact the resulting sensitivities, including the following:

*Future Balance Sheet Composition:* Our balance sheet composition is dynamic and based on our forecasted expectations. The projected balance sheet composition by the end of year one is generally consistent with the spot composition at December 31, 2025.

*Balance Sheet Forecast:* Our balance sheet forecast is based on various assumptions that include key interest rate risk aspects such as loan and deposit growth, as well as mix, and is consistent with our guidance.

*Deposit Betas:* Deposit pricing changes are primarily driven by changes in the Federal Funds rate. PNC's cumulative deposit beta was 41% through December 2025. We define the cumulative deposit beta as the change in deposit rate paid on total interest-bearing deposits divided by the change in the upper level of the average stated Federal Funds rate range since August 2024, the start of the current easing rate cycle. For rate sensitivity purposes, PNC assumes the cumulative deposit beta will increase modestly

from the current level. For interest rate risk modeling, PNC uses dynamic beta models to adjust assumed repricing sensitivity

depending on market rate levels as well as other factors. The dynamic beta assumptions reflect historical experience as well as future

The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. – *2025 Form 10-K* **69**

------

expectations, and are periodically updated to reflect the current view of future expectations. Actual deposit rates paid may differ from

modeled projections due to variables such as competition for deposits and customer behavior.

*Asset Prepayments:* PNC includes prepayment assumptions for both loan and investment portfolios. Mortgage and home equity portfolios utilize an industry standard model to drive estimated prepayments that increase in lower rate environments. Commercial and other consumer loan portfolios assume static constant prepayment rates that are consistent across rate scenarios, as those portfolios historically do not exhibit significantly different prepayment behaviors based upon the level of market rates.

*Impact of Derivatives*: As part of our risk management strategy, PNC uses interest rate derivatives, some of which are forward starting, to hedge floating rate commercial loans. PNC had $60.0 billion in active and forward starting receive fix / pay float swaps as of December 31, 2025, with a weighted average duration of 2.3 years and an average fixed rate of 3.66%. PNC utilizes receive fix / pay float swaps to hedge fixed rate debt, as well as pay fix / receive float swaps to hedge the investment securities portfolio. See Note 15 Financial Derivatives for additional information on how we use derivatives to hedge these financial instruments.

Compared to December 31, 2024, there have been no material changes to our NII sensitivity assumptions, including data sources

that drive assumptions setting.

The following table includes EVE sensitivity results as of December 31, 2025 and 2024:

EVE measures the present value of all projected future cash flows associated with a point-in-time balance sheet and does not include projected new volume. EVE sensitivity to interest rate changes is a complementary metric to NII sensitivity analysis and represents an estimation of long-term interest rate risk. PNC calculates its EVE sensitivity by measuring the changes in the economic value of assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet instruments in response to an instantaneous +/-200 bps parallel shift in interest rates. Similar to the NII sensitivity analysis, we incorporate dynamic deposit repricing and loan prepayment assumptions. Directionally, higher deposit beta assumptions result in increasing liability sensitivity whereas lower deposit betas increase asset sensitivity. Conceptually similar, higher loan prepayment assumptions cause an increase in asset sensitivity and lower prepayments result in an increase in liability sensitivity. These behavioral modeling assumptions are largely consistent between the EVE and NII sensitivity analyses, and also share the same starting balance sheet position as of December 31, 2025. Deposit attrition is also a significant contributor to EVE

sensitivity. Deposit attrition is projected based on a dynamic model developed using long-term historical deposit behavior in addition to management assumptions. PNC performs various sensitivity analyses to understand the impact of faster and slower deposit attrition, loan prepayments and deposit betas on our risk metrics, with the results reported to ALCO.

In the first quarter of 2025, PNC introduced a new deposit runoff model for EVE. Relative to the legacy model, the new deposit model

uses an improved functional form for capturing rate sensitivity and also takes into account more recent deposit behavioral data.

As a result of the introduction of the new deposit model, PNC's estimated balance sheet duration decreased, becoming more neutral.

The model change results in our estimated EVE having more symmetrical exposure to +200 bps and -200 bps shocks, as compared to

the prior model which resulted in our balance sheet facing greater exposure to a +200 bps rate shock and minimal exposure to a -200

bps rate shock.

**Market Risk Management – Customer-Related Trading Risk**

We engage in fixed income securities, derivatives and foreign exchange transactions to support our customers' investing and hedging activities. These transactions, related hedges and the credit and funding valuation adjustment related to our customer derivatives portfolio are marked-to-market daily and reported as customer-related trading activities. We do not engage in proprietary trading of these products.

We use VaR as the primary means to measure and monitor market risk in customer-related trading activities. VaR is used to estimate the probability of portfolio losses based on the statistical analysis of historical market risk factors. A diversified VaR reflects empirical correlations across different asset classes. We calculate a diversified VaR at a 95% confidence interval and the results for 2025 and 2024 were within our acceptable limits.

To help ensure the integrity of the models used to calculate VaR for each portfolio and enterprise-wide, we use a process known as backtesting. The backtesting process consists of comparing actual observations of gains or losses against the VaR levels that were calculated at the close of the prior day. Our VaR measure assumes that exposures remain constant and that recent market variability is a good predictor of future variability. Actual observations include customer-related revenue and intraday hedging, which helps to reduce losses and can reduce the number of instances actual losses exceed the prior day VaR measure. There were no instances during

**70**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. – *2025 Form 10-K*

------

2025 and 2024 under our diversified VaR measure where actual losses exceeded the prior-day VaR measure. Our portfolio and enterprise-wide VaR models utilize a historical approach with a 500-day look-back period.

Customer-related trading revenue was $236 million in 2025 compared to $122 million in 2024 and is recorded in Capital markets and advisory noninterest income and Other interest income on our Consolidated Income Statement. The increase was primarily due to higher derivative customer-related trading revenue.

**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, consistent with regulatory limitations. 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.

A summary of our equity investments follows:

<u>Tax Credit Investments</u>

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 $3.4 billion and $2.9 billion at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. These unfunded commitments are included in Other liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Note 4 Loan Sale and Servicing Activities and Variable Interest Entities has further information on tax credit investments.

<u>Private Equity and Other</u>

The largest component of our other equity investments is 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 $2.8 billion and $2.3 billion at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. As of December 31, 2025, $2.5 billion was invested directly in a variety of companies, and $0.3 billion was invested indirectly through various private equity funds. Changes in fair value of private equity investments are recognized in Other noninterest income. See the Supervision and Regulation section in Item 1 of this Report for discussion of the Volcker Rule limitations on our interests in and relationships with private funds.

PNC owns Visa Class B-2 common shares which were previously converted from Visa Class B-1 common shares as a result of the

Visa exchange program in 2024. The Visa Class B-2 common shares, which are included in our other equity investments at cost,

remain subject to the same restrictions that were imposed on the Visa Class B-1 common shares. Participation in the exchange

required PNC to agree to a make-whole agreement that subjects PNC to the same indemnity obligations to Visa as prior to

participation in the exchange program.

The Visa Class B-2 common shares that we own are transferable only under limited circumstances until either the resolution of the pending interchange litigation or Visa launches another exchange program allowing PNC to convert a portion of its Visa Class B-2 common shares into freely transferable Visa Class C common shares. At December 31, 2025, the estimated value of our total investment in the Visa Class B-2 common shares was approximately $0.9 billion while our cost basis was insignificant. The estimated value does not represent fair value of the Visa Class B-2 common shares given the shares' limited transferability and the lack of observable transactions in the marketplace. See Note 14 Fair Value and Note 20 Legal Proceedings for additional information regarding our Visa agreements.

On February 13, 2026, Visa announced that its Board of Directors authorized a successive exchange offer for its outstanding Class B common stock as promptly as practicable after certain conditions are met, subject to any unforeseen circumstances. The required conditions to conducting the exchange are (i) one year has passed since the initial exchange offer for Class B-1 common stock; and (ii) the estimated interchange reimbursement fees at issue in unresolved claims for damages in the U.S. covered litigation have been

The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. – *2025 Form 10-K* **71**

------

reduced by 50% or more since October 1, 2023, as determined by Visa. More than one year has passed since the launch of the initial exchange offer and the second condition is expected to occur within the next several weeks. The timing of the exchange offer will be subject to occurrence of these conditions, review by the SEC of the registration statement, Visa's outlook of market conditions and other relevant factors at the time.

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 $6 million in 2025 and $33 million in 2024.

**Impact of Inflation**

Our assets and liabilities are primarily financial in nature and typically have varying maturity dates. Accordingly, future changes in

prices do not affect the obligations to pay or receive fixed and determinable amounts of money. However, during periods of inflation,

there may be a subsequent impact affecting certain fixed costs or expenses, an erosion of customer purchasing power, and fluctuations in the need or demand for our products and services. When significant levels of inflation occur, our business could potentially be impacted by, among other things, reducing our tolerance for extending credit or causing us to incur additional credit losses resulting from possible increased default rates. While the inflation rate remains above the Federal Reserve's 2% target in 2025, it has declined compared to 2024, resulting in continued easing of the Federal Reserve's monetary policy. See Item 1A Risk Factors, our Executive Summary and Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information in this Item 7 for further discussion of inflation and its overall impact to the economy, our borrowers' ability to repay their obligations and certain costs and expenses to PNC.

**Financial Derivatives**

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.

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.

Further information on our financial derivatives is presented in Note 1 Accounting Policies, Note 14 Fair Value and Note 15 Financial Derivatives.

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.

**<u>Operational Risk Management</u>**

Operational risk is the risk to PNC's current or projected financial condition and resilience arising from inadequate or failed internal processes or systems, human errors or misconduct or adverse external events. Operational risk is inherent to the entire organization.

Operational risk management is embedded in our culture and decision-making processes through a systematic approach whereby operational risks and exposures are: (i) identified and assessed; (ii) managed through the design and implementation of controls; (iii) measured and evaluated against our risk tolerance limits; and (iv) reported to management and the Risk Committee of the Board of Directors. Strong operational risk management and well-informed risk-based decisions benefit us by improving the customer experience, enhancing compliance, reducing reputational risk, minimizing losses, and supporting robust stress testing and capital planning.

The Operational Risk Management Framework is designed to provide effective and consistent management of operational risk. The primary purpose of the framework is to enable us to understand our operational risks and manage them to the desired risk profile, in line with our Risk Appetite. Additionally, the guidance established within the framework assists management in making well-informed risk-based business decisions.

The framework provides a disciplined and structured process for us to manage operational risk across eight operational risk domains. These domains provide a comprehensive view of operational risk and allow us to discuss operational risk in a standard way, facilitating reporting and ongoing risk mitigation.

The operational risk domains are:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Operations: Risk resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, misconduct or errors of people or fraud.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Compliance: Risk arising from violations of laws, rules or regulations including nonconformance with prescribed practices and industry standards driven by self-regulatory organizations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Data Management: Risk associated with data accuracy, integrity or quality.

**72**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. – *2025 Form 10-K*

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Model: Risk associated with the design, implementation and ongoing use and management of models.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Technology and Systems: Risk associated with the use, operation and adoption of technology.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Information Security: Risk resulting from the failure to protect information and ensure appropriate access to, and use and handling of, information assets.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Business Continuity: Risk of potential disruptive events to business activities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Third Party: Risk arising from failure of third-party providers to conduct activity in a safe and sound manner and in compliance with contract provisions and applicable laws and regulations.

We utilize operational risk management programs within the framework, including Risk and Control Self-Assessments, scenario analysis, and internal and external loss event reviews and analysis, to assess existing risks, determine potential/emerging risks and evaluate the effectiveness of internal controls. Program tools and methodology assist our business managers in identifying potential risks and control gaps.

Lines of business are responsible for identifying, owning, managing and monitoring the operational risks and controls associated with their business activities and product or service offerings to within acceptable levels. Centralized functions, such as Business Continuity, Enterprise Third Party Management and Information Security, are responsible for the development, implementation and management of their individual programs and for the development and maintenance of the policies, procedures, methodologies, tools and technology utilized across the enterprise to identify, assess, monitor and report program risks. Additionally, independent risk management reviews and challenges line of business adherence to the framework to help ensure proper controls are in place and appropriate risk mitigation plans are established as necessary.

**Compliance Risk**

Enterprise Compliance is responsible for oversight of compliance risk for the organization. Compliance issues are identified and tracked through enterprise-wide monitoring and testing activities. Compliance risk issues are escalated through a comprehensive risk reporting process at both a business and enterprise level and incorporated, as appropriate, into the development and assessment of our operational risk profile. A management committee, chaired by the Chief Compliance Officer, is responsible for oversight of compliance and fiduciary risk management programs across PNC. Enterprise Compliance, through the Regulatory Change Program, helps PNC understand and proactively address emerging regulatory topics and risks as well as respond to changes in applicable laws and regulations. To understand emerging issues impacting the industry, Enterprise Compliance communicates regularly with various regulators having supervisory or regulatory responsibilities with respect to us, our subsidiaries, or businesses and participates in forums focused on regulatory and compliance matters in the financial services industry.

**Information Security Risk**

The Information Security component of our Operational Risk Management Framework is responsible for protecting information assets to achieve business objectives, which includes cybersecurity. PNC's cybersecurity program is designed to identify risks to sensitive information, protect that information, detect threats and events and maintain an appropriate response and recovery capability to help ensure resilience against information security incidents. The program includes, among other things, annual security and privacy training for all PNC employees and quarterly phishing exercises to raise employee awareness. Our security program is also regularly examined by federal regulators for compliance with financial regulations and standards. The program also establishes expectations for information asset management, system development security, identity and access management, incident management, threat and vulnerability management, security operations management and third- and fourth-party security. For additional information, see Item 1C Cybersecurity of this Report.

**Conduct, Reputational and Strategic Risk**

PNC's risk culture seeks to reinforce the appropriate protocols for responsible and ethical behavior through sound processes and controls. In order to promote a robust risk culture, the Board and executive management establish code of conduct and professional standards to which all employees must adhere. A strong risk culture discourages misconduct and supports conduct risk management at PNC. Conduct risk is defined as the risk that employees fail to comply with the ethical standards expected of them. Strong conduct risk management is important in supporting PNC's risk culture where risk management is every employee's responsibility. That responsibility enables the organization to operate within our risk appetite and emphasizes complying with laws and regulations. Reputational risk is another element of the ERM Framework and is defined as risk to PNC's franchise, brand, and/or value based on a negative perception of PNC by its stakeholders and/or the changing expectations of its stakeholders. This risk can produce quantifiable impact materializing through means such as PNC's brand value, corporate image, stock price, or other metric measuring the value of PNC or future earnings/ability to achieve business growth or meet strategic priorities. Another element of the ERM Framework that is also critical to optimizing shareholder returns is strategic risk. Strategic risk is the risk to earnings, capital, or liquidity that may arise from adverse business decisions, improper implementation of business decisions and/or inadequate response to changes in the business environment. Strategic risk is considered and assessed by our businesses in the annual strategic planning processes and monitored on an on-going basis as those plans are carried out.

(a)Changes attributable to rate/volume are prorated into rate and volume components.

(b)Interest income is calculated as taxable-equivalent interest income. To provide more meaningful comparisons of 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. See Reconciliation of Taxable-Equivalent Net Interest Income in the Non-GAAP Financial Information section for more information.

**NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION** 

PNC reports certain financial measures that are not in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures are provided as supplemental information to the financial measures in this Report that are calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. While we believe that these non-GAAP measures are useful tools for the purpose of evaluating certain financial results, they should not be considered superior to and are not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related GAAP financial measures presented in this Report.

(a)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.

(a)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.

**CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS**

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared by applying certain accounting policies. Note 1 Accounting Policies describes the most significant accounting policies that we use. Certain of these policies require us to make estimates or economic assumptions that may vary under different assumptions or conditions, and such variations may significantly affect our reported results and financial position for the period or in future periods. The following details the critical estimates and judgments around the ACL:

**<u>Allowance for Credit Losses</u>**

We maintain the ACL at levels that we believe to be appropriate as of the balance sheet date to absorb expected credit losses on our existing investment securities, loans, equipment finance leases, other financial assets and unfunded lending related commitments, for the remaining estimated contractual term of the assets or exposures, taking into consideration expected prepayments and estimated recoveries. Our determination of the ACL is based on historical loss and performance experience, as well as current borrower and transaction characteristics including collateral type and quality, current economic conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions and other relevant factors. We use methods sensitive to changes in economic conditions to interpret these factors and to estimate expected credit losses. We evaluate and, when appropriate, enhance the quality of our data and models and other methods used to estimate the ACL on an ongoing basis. The major drivers of ACL estimates include, but are not limited to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Current economic conditions: Our forecast of expected losses depends on economic conditions as of the estimation date. As &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; current economic conditions evolve, forecasted losses could be materially affected. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Scenario weights and design: Our loss estimates are sensitive to the shape, direction and rate of change of macroeconomic forecasts and thus vary significantly between upside and downside scenarios. Changes to the probability weights assigned to these scenarios and the timing of peak business cycles reflected by the scenarios could materially affect our loss estimates.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Current borrower quality: Our forecast of expected losses depends on current borrower and transaction characteristics, including credit metrics and collateral type/quality. As borrower quality evolves, forecasted losses could be materially affected.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Portfolio composition: Changes to portfolio volume and mix could materially affect our estimates, as CECL reserves

would be recognized upon origination or acquisition and derecognized upon paydown, maturity or sale.

We also incorporate qualitative factors in the ACL that reflect our best estimate of expected losses that may not be adequately represented in our quantitative methods or economic assumptions, as discussed below and in the Allowance for Credit Losses section of Note 1 Accounting Policies.

For all assets and unfunded lending related commitments within the scope of the CECL standard, the applicable ACL is composed of one or a combination of the following components: (i) collectively assessed or pooled reserves, (ii) individually assessed reserves, and

**76**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. – *2025 Form 10-K*

------

(iii) qualitative (judgmental) reserves. Through this approach, we believe the reserve levels appropriately reflect the expected credit losses in the portfolio as of the balance sheet date.

**Reasonable and Supportable Economic Forecast**

Pursuant to the CECL standard, we are required to consider reasonable and supportable forecasts in estimating expected credit losses. For this purpose, we have established a framework that includes a three-year forecast period and the use of four economic scenarios with associated probability weights, which in combination create a forecast of expected economic outcomes. Credit losses estimated in our reasonable and supportable forecast period are sensitive to the shape and severity of the scenarios used and weights assigned to them.

To forecast the distribution of economic outcomes over the reasonable and supportable forecast period, we generate four economic forecast scenarios using a combination of quantitative macroeconomic models, other measures of economic activity and forward-looking expert judgment. Each scenario is then given an associated probability (weight) to represent our current expectation within that distribution over the forecast period. This process is informed by current economic conditions, expected business cycle evolution and the expert judgment of PNC's RAC. This approach seeks to provide a reasonable representation of the forecast of expected economic outcomes and is used to estimate expected credit losses across a variety of loans, securities and other financial assets. Each quarter, the scenarios and their respective weights are presented to RAC for approval.

The scenarios used for the period ended December 31, 2025 consider, among other factors, ongoing impacts of trade and fiscal policy, including tariffs, on the U.S. economic outlook. Given these factors, growth is expected to slow from current levels in the coming quarters. While recession risks remain elevated, our most likely expectation at December 31, 2025 is that the U.S. economy avoids a recession. We believe the economic scenarios effectively reflect the distribution of potential economic outcomes.

We used a number of economic variables in our scenarios, with two of the most significant drivers being real GDP and the U.S. unemployment rate. The following table presents a comparison of these two economic variables based on the weighted-average scenario forecasts used in determining our ACL at December 31, 2025 and 2024.

***Table 40: Key Macroeconomic Variables in CECL Weighted-Average Scenarios***

| | 2026 | 2027 | 2028 |
| U.S. real GDP (a) | 0.5% | 2.0% | 2.0% |
| U.S. Unemployment Rate (b) | 5.1% | 4.9% | 4.4% |
|  | Assumptions as of December 31, 2024 | Assumptions as of December 31, 2024 | Assumptions as of December 31, 2024 |
|  | 2025 | 2026 | 2027 |
| U.S. real GDP (a) | 0.7% | 2.2% | 2.2% |
| U.S. Unemployment Rate (c) | 4.8% | 4.7% | 4.4% |

---

(a)Represents year-over-year growth rates.

(b)Represents quarterly average rate at December 31, 2026, 2027 and 2028, respectively.

(c)Represents quarterly average rate at December 31, 2025, 2026 and 2027, respectively.

Real GDP growth is expected to slow by the end of 2026 to 0.5% on a weighted average basis, down from the 2.2% assumed at December 31, 2024. Growth then rebounds to 2.0% where real GDP remains stable through 2027 and 2028. The weighted-average unemployment rate is expected to end 2026 at 5.1%, continuing to decrease to 4.9% in 2027, landing at 4.4% by the fourth quarter of 2028.

To provide additional context regarding the sensitivity of the ACL to a more pessimistic forecast of expected economic outcomes, we compared our modeled credit loss estimates under our most severe downside CECL scenario to our weighted average estimates. This severe downside scenario estimated that real GDP contracted in 2026 ending the year down 2.5% compared to 2025 levels, with growth picking up again by the end of 2027. The unemployment rate in this scenario increased to end 2026 at 6.6%, then peaks at 7.3% during 2027, before gradually improving to 6.1% by the end of 2028. This scenario does not reflect our current expectation at December 31, 2025, nor does it capture all the potential unknown variables that could arise in the forecast period, but it provides an approximation of a possible outcome under hypothetical severe conditions. This alternative scenario would result in a hypothetical increase in our modeled credit loss estimates of $2.0 billion at December 31, 2025. This sensitivity analysis considers only changes in the modeled credit loss estimates and does not consider potential increases or decreases in our qualitative component. The CECL methodology inherently requires a high degree of judgment, and as a result, it is possible that we may, at another point in time, reach different conclusions regarding our credit loss estimates.

**Qualitative Component** 

As discussed in the Allowance for Credit Losses section of Note 1 Accounting Policies, we incorporate qualitative reserves in the ACL that reflect our best estimate of expected losses that may not be adequately represented in our quantitative methods or economic

------

assumptions. Qualitative factors may include, but are not limited to, inherent forecasting limitations, model imprecision, timing of available information, and/or emerging and ongoing credit risks. At December 31, 2025, the qualitative framework considers PNC's view of the current state of the economy, which continues to reflect uncertainty due to the fundamental change in office demand, tariff and trade driven pressures, interest rate movements and housing affordability. Our most significant qualitative factor was related to the office portfolio of the commercial real estate loan class.

We believe the economic scenarios effectively reflect the distribution of potential economic outcomes. Additionally, through in-depth and granular analysis we have addressed reserve requirements for the specific populations most affected in the current environment. Through this approach, we believe the reserve levels appropriately reflect the expected credit losses in the portfolio as of the balance sheet date.

See the following for additional details on the components of our ACL:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Allowance for Credit Losses in the Credit Risk Management section of this Item 7, and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Note 1 Accounting Policies, Note 2 Investment Securities, and Note 3 Loans and Related Allowance for Credit Losses.

**<u>Residential and Commercial Mortgage Servicing Rights</u>**

We elect to measure our MSRs at fair value. This election was made to be consistent with our risk management strategy to hedge changes in the fair value of these assets. The fair value of our MSRs is estimated by using a discounted cash flow valuation model that calculates the present value of estimated future net servicing cash flows, taking into consideration actual and expected mortgage loan prepayment rates, discount rates, servicing costs, and other factors which are determined based on current market conditions.

We employ risk management strategies designed to protect the value of MSRs from changes in interest rates and related market factors. The values of the MSRs are economically hedged with securities and derivatives, including, but not limited to, interest-rate swaps, options, and forward mortgage-backed and futures contracts. As interest rates change, these financial instruments are expected to have changes in fair value inverse to the change in fair value of the hedged MSR portfolios. The hedge relationships are actively managed in response to changing market conditions over the life of the MSRs. Selecting appropriate financial instruments to economically hedge residential or commercial MSRs requires significant management judgment to assess how rates and prepayment speeds could affect the future values of MSRs. Hedging results can frequently be less predictable in the short term, but over longer periods of time, they are expected to protect the economic value of the MSRs.

For information on how each estimate has changed and a sensitivity analysis of the hypothetical effect of the fair value of MSRs to immediate adverse changes in key assumptions, see Note 5 Goodwill and Mortgage Servicing Rights. For additional information on our residential and commercial MSRs, see Note 1 Accounting Policies, Note 5 Goodwill and Mortgage Servicing Rights and Note 14 Fair Value.

**<u>Fair Value Measurements - Level 3</u>**

We must use estimates, assumptions and judgments when assets and liabilities are required to be recorded at, or adjusted to reflect, fair value. Assets and liabilities carried at fair value inherently result in a higher degree of financial statement volatility. When observable price and third-party information is not available, we estimate fair value primarily by using cash flow and other financial modeling techniques. Changes in underlying factors, assumptions, or estimates in any of these valuation techniques could materially impact our future financial condition and results of operations.

We apply ASC 820 – *Fair Value Measurements*. This guidance defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell a financial asset or paid to transfer a financial liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. This guidance requires a three-level hierarchy for disclosure of assets and liabilities recorded at fair value. The classification of assets and liabilities within the hierarchy is based on whether the inputs to the valuation methodology used in the measurement are observable or unobservable. Level 3 assets and liabilities are those where the fair value is estimated using significant unobservable inputs. An asset or liability's classification as Level 2 or Level 3 is based upon the specific facts and circumstances associated with each instrument, and management applies judgment regarding the significance of unobservable inputs to each asset or liability when determining its fair value level classification. In addition to MSRs, certain of our private equity investments and available-for-sale securities have a high level of estimation uncertainty and require significant management judgment to determine the fair value. While estimating potential sensitivities around fair value measurements is inherently challenging, we provide a summary of the key unobservable inputs as well as additional information on Level 3 fair value measurements in Note 14 Fair Value.

**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 financial performance, such as 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, including our sustainability strategy, 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 necessarily 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 any obligation 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 placing undue reliance on any forward-looking statements.

Our forward-looking statements are subject to the following principal risks and uncertainties.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Our businesses, financial results and balance sheet values are affected by business and economic conditions, including:

–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, market interest rates and inflation,

–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 sanctions, tariffs and other trade policies of the U.S. and its global trading partners,

–Impacts of changes in federal, state and local governmental policy, including on the regulatory landscape, capital markets, taxes, infrastructure spending and social programs,

–Our ability to attract, recruit and retain skilled employees, and

–Commodity price volatility.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 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. These statements are based on our views that:

–PNC's baseline forecast remains for continued expansion, but slower economic growth in 2026 than in 2024 and 2025. Tariffs remain a drag on consumer spending and business investment, while AI-related capex and wealth effects have been key supports to growth. Consumer spending growth is slowing to a pace more consistent with household income growth. The One Big Beautiful Bill will be a net positive for economic growth in 2026.

–The baseline forecast anticipates real GDP growth slowing to around 2% in 2026, with continued modest job gains and the unemployment rate at around 4.5%. Tariffs remain a risk to the outlook, and a reversal in sentiment around AI or a large decline in equity prices would be drags. Weaker labor force growth could lead to weaker long-run growth.

–Our baseline forecast is for the Federal Reserve to keep the federal funds rate unchanged in the first half of this year, in a range between 3.50% and 3.75%. We expect modest additional easing in the second half of the year with 25 basis points cuts at the FOMC meetings in July and September 2026, resulting in a federal funds rate in the range of 3.00% to 3.25% by the fall. However, there are two-sided risks to this outlook: (1) if inflation re-accelerates or proves more persistent than expected, the Federal Reserve may cut less or (2) if growth falters or recession emerges, easing could be deeper and more prolonged.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• PNC's ability to take certain capital actions, including returning capital to shareholders, is subject to PNC meeting or exceeding an SCB established by the Federal Reserve Board in connection with the Federal Reserve Board's CCAR process.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• PNC's regulatory capital ratios in the future will depend on, among other things, its financial performance, the scope and terms of final capital regulations then in effect and management actions affecting the composition of PNC's balance sheet. In addition, PNC's 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 and the reliability of and risks resulting from extensive use of such models.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 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 employees. These developments could include:

–Changes to laws and regulations, including changes affecting oversight of the financial services industry, changes in the enforcement and interpretation of such laws and regulations, and changes in accounting and reporting standards.

–Unfavorable resolution of legal proceedings or other claims and regulatory and other governmental investigations or other inquiries resulting in monetary losses, costs, or alterations in our business practices, and potentially causing reputational harm to PNC.

–Results of the regulatory examination and supervision process, including our failure to satisfy requirements of agreements with governmental agencies.

–Costs associated with obtaining rights in intellectual property claimed by others and of adequacy of our intellectual property protection in general.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Our reputation and business and operating results may be affected by our ability to appropriately meet or address environmental, social or governance targets, goals, commitments or concerns that may arise.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 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, the integration of the acquired businesses into PNC after closing or any failure to execute strategic or operational plans.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Business and operating results can also be affected by widespread manmade, natural and other disasters (including severe weather events), health emergencies, dislocations, geopolitical instabilities or events, terrorist activities, system failures or disruptions, security breaches, cyberattacks, international hostilities, or other extraordinary events beyond PNC's control through impacts on the economy and financial markets generally or on us or our counterparties, customers or third-party vendors and service providers specifically.

We provide greater detail regarding these as well as other factors in this Report, including in Item 1A Risk Factors, the Risk Management section of Item 7 and Note 20 Legal Proceedings. 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.

**REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM** 

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc.

***Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting***

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the related consolidated statements of income, of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and of cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, including the related notes (collectively referred to as the "consolidated financial statements"). We also have audited the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the COSO.

***Basis for Opinions***

The Company's management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A. Our responsibility is to express opinions on the Company's consolidated financial statements and on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.

Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

***Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting***

A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

***Critical Audit Matters***

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (i) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (ii) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

*Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses – Commercial Loans*

As described in Notes 1 and 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the allowance for loan and lease losses was $4,410 million as of December 31, 2025, of which $3,089 million relates to commercial loans. For commercial loans, the determination of the allowance is based on historical loss experience, current borrower risk characteristics, current economic conditions, reasonable and supportable economic forecasts of future conditions and other relevant factors. As disclosed by management, they consider reasonable and supportable forecasts in estimating expected credit losses and have established a framework that includes a three-year forecast period and the use of four economic scenarios with associated probability weights, which in combination create a forecast of expected economic outcomes. To forecast the distribution of economic outcomes over the reasonable and supportable forecast period, management generates four economic forecast scenarios using a combination of quantitative macroeconomic models, other measures of economic activity and forward-looking judgment. Management used a number of economic variables in their scenarios, with two of the most significant drivers being Real GDP and the U.S. unemployment rate. Management incorporates qualitative reserves in the allowance for credit losses that reflect their best estimate of expected losses that may not be adequately represented in the quantitative methods or the economic assumptions. Such qualitative factors may include, but are not limited to, industry concentration and conditions, changes in market conditions, changes in the nature and volume of the Company's portfolio, recent credit quality trends, recent loss experience in particular portfolios, recent macroeconomic factors, limitations of available input data, model imprecision, changes in lending policies, and timing of available information.

The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the allowance for loan and lease losses for commercial loans is a critical audit matter are (i) the significant judgment and estimation by management in developing economic forecast scenarios of Real GDP and the U.S. unemployment rate, in determining the weighting given to each economic forecast scenario, and in estimating qualitative reserves, (ii) a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity and effort in performing procedures and in evaluating audit evidence related to management's significant judgements and estimations, and (iii) the audit effort involved the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge.

Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to the allowance for loan and lease losses for commercial loans, including controls over the economic forecast scenarios of Real GDP and the U.S. unemployment rate, the weighting given to each economic forecast scenario, and the qualitative reserves. These procedures also included, among others, (i) testing management's process for determining the allowance for loan and lease losses for commercial loans, (ii) testing the completeness and accuracy of certain data used in the estimate, and (iii) the involvement of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge to assist in evaluating (a) the appropriateness of certain methodologies and commercial loss forecasting models used by management, (b) the reasonableness of certain borrower risk characteristics, (c) the reasonableness of certain economic forecast scenarios, including Real GDP and the U.S. unemployment rate, (d) the reasonableness of management's weighting given to each economic forecast scenario used in the loss forecasting models, and (e) certain qualitative reserves made to the model output results to determine the overall allowance for loan and lease losses for commercial loans.

**NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

THE PNC FINANCIAL SERVICES GROUP, INC.

*See the Glossary on page [180](#ie5f94e3309184c9e98b370638d811af4_667) for additional information on certain terms and acronyms used throughout the Financial Statements and related Notes.*

**BUSINESS**

PNC is one of the largest diversified financial services companies in the U.S. and is headquartered in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

We have businesses engaged in retail banking, corporate and institutional banking and asset management, providing many of our products and services nationally. Our retail branch network is located coast-to-coast. We also have strategic international offices in four countries outside the U.S.

**NOTE 1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

**<u>Basis of Financial Statement Presentation</u>**

Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the parent company and its subsidiaries, most of which are wholly-owned, certain partnership interests and VIEs.

We prepared these consolidated financial statements in accordance with 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.

We have also considered the impact of subsequent events on these consolidated financial statements through the date of issuance of the consolidated financials.

**<u>Use of Estimates</u>**

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 the ACL and our fair value measurements. Actual results may differ from the estimates and the differences may be material to the consolidated financial statements.

**<u>Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash</u>**

Cash and due from banks are considered cash and cash equivalents for financial reporting purposes because they represent a primary source of liquidity. Certain cash balances within Cash and due from banks on our Consolidated Balance Sheet are restricted as to withdrawal or usage by legally binding contractual agreements or regulatory requirements.

**<u>Investments</u>**

We hold interests in various types of investments. The accounting for these investments is dependent on a number of factors including, but not limited to, items such as:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Ownership interest,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Our plans for the investment, and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The nature of the investment.

**Debt Securities**

Debt securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. We classify debt securities as either trading, held-to-maturity or available-for-sale. Debt securities that we purchase for certain risk management activities or customer-related trading activities are classified as trading securities and reported in the Other assets line item on our Consolidated Balance Sheet at fair value. For debt securities classified as trading, realized and unrealized gains and losses within our capital markets business are included in Capital markets and advisory noninterest income; realized and unrealized gains and losses related to hedging MSRs are included in Residential and commercial mortgage noninterest income. We classify debt securities as held-to-maturity when we have the positive intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity, and carry them at amortized cost, less any allowance. Debt securities not classified as held-to-maturity or trading are classified as securities available-for-sale and are carried at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities are included in AOCI net of income taxes.

We include all interest on debt securities, including amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts on investment securities, in net interest income using the constant effective yield method generally calculated over the contractual lives of the securities. Effective

**90**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. – *2025 Form 10-K*

------

yields generally reflect the effective interest rate implicit in the security at the date of acquisition. We compute gains and losses realized on the sale of available-for-sale debt securities on a specific security basis. These securities gains and losses are included in Securities gains (losses) on the Consolidated Income Statement.

The CECL standard requires expected credit losses on both held-to-maturity and available-for-sale securities to be recognized through a valuation allowance, ACL, instead of as a direct write-down to the amortized cost basis of the security. An available-for-sale security is considered impaired if the fair value is less than its amortized cost basis. If any portion of the decline in fair value is related to credit, the amount of allowance is determined as the portion related to credit, limited to the difference between the amortized cost basis and the fair value of the security. If we have the intent to sell, or believe it is more likely than not we will be required to sell an impaired available-for-sale security before recovery of the amortized cost basis, the credit loss is recorded as a direct write-down of the amortized cost basis. Credit losses on investment securities are recognized through Provision for credit losses on our Consolidated Income Statement. Declines in the fair value of available-for-sale securities that are not considered credit related are recognized in AOCI on our Consolidated Balance Sheet.

We consider a security to be past due in terms of payment based on its contractual terms. A security may be placed on nonaccrual when collectability of principal or interest is doubtful, with interest no longer recognized until received. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, nonaccrual or past due held-to-maturity and available-for-sale securities were immaterial.

A security may be partially or fully charged-off against the allowance if it is determined to be uncollectible, including for an available-for-sale security, if we have the intent to sell or believe it is more likely than not we will be required to sell the security before recovery of the amortized cost basis. Recoveries of previously charged-off available-for-sale securities are recognized when received, while recoveries on held-to-maturity securities are recognized when expected.

See the Allowance for Credit Losses section of this Note 1 for further discussion regarding the methodologies used to determine the

allowance for investment securities. See Note 2 Investment Securities for additional information about the investment securities portfolio and the related ACL.

**Equity Securities and Partnership Interests**

We account for equity securities, equity investments, private equity investments, and investments in limited partnerships, limited liability companies and other investments that are not required to be consolidated under one of the following methods:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We use the equity method for general and limited partner ownership interests and limited liability companies in which we are considered to have significant influence over the operations of the investee. Under the equity method, we record our equity ownership share of net income or loss of the investee in Noninterest income and any dividends received on equity method investments are recorded as a reduction to the investment balance. When an equity method investment experiences an other-than-temporary decline in value, we record a loss on the investment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We measure equity securities that have a readily determinable fair value at fair value through Net income. We do not consider contractual restrictions on the sale of an equity security when measuring fair value. Both realized and unrealized gains and losses are included in Noninterest income. Dividend income on these equity securities is included in Other interest income on our Consolidated Income Statement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We generally use the practicability exception to fair value measurement for all other investments without a readily determinable fair value. When we elect this alternative measurement method, the investment is recorded at cost and the carrying value is adjusted for impairment, if any, plus or minus changes in value resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for identical or similar instruments of the same issuer. Adjustments to fair value based on changes in observable price are recorded in Other noninterest income. These investments are written down to fair value if a qualitative assessment indicates impairment and the fair value is less than the carrying value. The amount of the write-down is accounted for as a loss included in Other noninterest income. Distributions received on these investments are included in Other noninterest income.

Investments described above are included in Equity investments on our Consolidated Balance Sheet.

**Private Equity Investments**

We report private equity investments, which include direct investments in companies, affiliated partnership interests and indirect investments in private equity funds, at estimated fair value. These estimates are based on available information and may not necessarily represent amounts that we will ultimately realize through distribution, sale or liquidation of the investments. The valuation procedures applied to direct investments and indirect investments are detailed in Note 14 Fair Value. We include all private equity investments within Equity investments on our Consolidated Balance Sheet. Changes in fair value of private equity investments are recognized in Other noninterest income.

We consolidate affiliated partnerships when we have determined that we have control of the partnership or are the primary beneficiary if the entity is a VIE. The portion we do not own is reflected in Noncontrolling interests on our Consolidated Balance Sheet.

The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. – *2025 Form 10-K* **91**

------

**<u>Loans</u>**

Loans are classified as held for investment when management has both the intent and ability to hold the loan for the foreseeable future, or until maturity or payoff. Management's intent and view of the foreseeable future may change based on changes in business strategies, the economic environment, market conditions and the availability of government programs.

Measurement of delinquency status is based on the contractual terms of each loan. Loans that are 30 days or more past due are considered delinquent.

Loans held for investment, excluding PCD loans, are recorded at amortized cost basis unless we elect to measure these under the fair value option. Amortized cost basis represents principal amounts outstanding, net of unearned income, unamortized deferred fees and costs on originated loans, premiums or discounts on purchased loans and charge-offs. Amortized cost basis does not include accrued interest, as we include accrued interest in Other assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheet. Interest on performing loans is accrued based on the principal amount outstanding and recorded in Interest income as earned using the constant effective yield method over the contractual life. Loan origination fees, direct loan origination costs, and loan premiums and discounts are deferred and accreted or amortized into net interest income using the constant effective yield method, over the contractual life of the loan. Loans under the fair value option are reported at their fair value, with any changes to fair value reported as Noninterest income on the Consolidated Income Statement and are excluded from measurement of ALLL.

In addition to originating loans, we also acquire loans through the secondary loan market, portfolio purchases or acquisitions of other financial services companies. Certain acquired loans that have experienced a more-than-insignificant deterioration of credit quality since origination (*i.e.*, PCD) are recognized at an amortized cost basis equal to their purchase price plus an ALLL measured at the acquisition date. PNC considers a variety of factors in connection with the identification of more-than-insignificant deterioration in credit quality, including but not limited to nonperforming status, delinquency, risk ratings and other qualitative factors that indicate deterioration in credit quality since origination. Subsequent decreases in expected cash flows that are attributable, at least in part, to credit quality are recognized through a charge to the provision for credit losses resulting in an increase in the ALLL. Subsequent increases in expected cash flows are recognized as a provision recapture of previously recorded ALLL.

We consider a loan to be collateral dependent when we determine that substantially all of the expected cash flows will be generated

from the operation or sale of the collateral underlying the loan when the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and we have elected to measure the loan at the estimated fair value of collateral (less costs to sell if sale or foreclosure of the property is expected).

Additionally, we consider a loan to be collateral dependent when foreclosure or liquidation of the underlying collateral is probable.

Loan modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty, or FDMs, occur as a result of our loss mitigation activities. Modified commercial loans that meet an established internal risk rating threshold at the time of modification are in-scope for FDM consideration. Consumer FDMs are provided in accordance with established hardship relief programs. FDMs include loan modifications that may result in interest rate reductions, term extensions, payment delays, repayment plans or combinations thereof:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Interest rate reductions include modifications where the interest rate is reduced and/or interest is deferred.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Term extensions extend the original contractual maturity date of the loan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Payment delays consist of modifications where we expect to collect contractual amounts due but that result in a delay in the receipt of payments specified under the original loan terms. We generally consider payment delays to be insignificant when the delay is three months or less.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Repayment plans are offered for some of our credit card, home equity, and unsecured line of credit products, which may provide for either a reduced payment and interest rate for a specific period of time, or a fixed payment plan informed by the borrower's financial situation and current market environment at the time of modification.

Additionally, modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty also result from borrowers that have been discharged from personal liability through Chapter 7 bankruptcy and have not formally reaffirmed their obligations to us, and those that enter into trial modifications.

FDMs exclude loans held for sale and loans accounted for under the fair value option. Our disclosed FDM population also excludes government insured or guaranteed education loans as loss mitigation activities for these loans are either required by law or they are considered separate from PNC's loss mitigation treatments. Commercial loans with an appraised value of collateral that exceeds the loan value, loans with guarantor support, and residential mortgage government insured or guaranteed loans are included in our disclosed population of FDMs when those loan modifications are granted to a borrower experiencing financial difficulty.

FDMs continue to be subject to our existing nonaccrual policies. Expected losses or recoveries on FDMs have been factored into the ALLL estimates for each loan class under the methodologies described in this Note 1. Refer to Note 3 Loans and Related Allowance for Credit Losses for more information on FDMs.

<u>Accounting for Nonperforming Assets and Leases and Other Nonaccrual Loans</u>

For nonaccrual loans, interest income accrual and deferred fee/cost recognition is discontinued. Additionally, depending on whether the accrued interest has been incorporated into the ACL estimates, as discussed in the Accrued Interest section of this Note 1, the accrued and uncollected interest is either reversed through net interest income (if a CECL reserve is not maintained for accrued interest) or charged-off against the allowance (if a CECL reserve is maintained for accrued interest), except for credit cards, where we reverse any accrued interest through net interest income at the time of a charge-off, as per industry standard practice. Nonaccrual loans that are also collateral dependent may be charged-off to reduce the basis to the fair value of collateral less costs to sell.

If payment is received on a nonaccrual loan, generally the payment is first applied to the remaining principal balance. Payments are then applied to recover any charged-off amounts related to the loan. Finally, if both the principal balance and any charge-offs have been recovered, then the payment will be recorded as interest income. For certain consumer loans, the receipt of interest payments is recognized as interest income on a cash basis. Cash basis income recognition is applied if a loan's amortized cost basis is deemed fully collectible and the loan has performed for at least six months.

The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. – *2025 Form 10-K* **93**

------

For FDMs, payments are applied based upon their contractual terms unless the related loan is deemed nonperforming. Consumer loans modified due to a borrower experiencing financial difficulty are generally included in nonperforming and nonaccrual loans if they are not government insured or guaranteed. Commercial loans modified due to a borrower experiencing financial difficulty may be included in nonperforming and nonaccrual loans, subject to the bank's policies for nonperforming loans and leases. FDMs may remain on accruing status if the bank expects to collect all contractual principal and interest due under the loan and the borrower remains current. Collateral coverage, guarantor and/or sponsor support and debt service coverage are factors that may be considered in the accruing status of an FDM loan. FDM loans classified as nonperforming and nonaccrual loans may return to accruing status after a reasonable period of time, generally six months, in which the loan performs under modified terms and meets other performance indicators. This return to accruing status demonstrates that the bank expects to collect all of the loan's remaining contractual principal and interest. Loan modifications granted to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty resulting from (i) borrowers that have been discharged from personal liability through Chapter 7 bankruptcy and have not formally reaffirmed their loan obligations to us, and (ii) borrowers that are not currently obligated to make both principal and interest payments under the modified terms are not returned to accrual status.

Other nonaccrual loans are generally not returned to accruing status until the borrower has performed in accordance with the loan's contractual terms and other performance indicators for at least six months, the period of time which was determined to demonstrate the expected collectability of the loan's remaining contractual principal and interest. Nonaccrual loans with partially charged-off principal may return to accruing status if the loan performs after a reasonable period of time, generally six months, and the loan meets other performance indicators. When a nonperforming loan is returned to accruing status, it is then considered a performing loan. Nonaccrual loans with fully charged-off principal are prohibited from returning to accruing status.

Foreclosed assets consist of any asset seized or property acquired through a foreclosure proceeding or acceptance of a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure. OREO comprises principally residential and commercial real estate properties obtained in partial or total satisfaction of loan obligations. After obtaining a foreclosure judgment, or in some jurisdictions the initiation of proceedings under a power of sale in the loan instruments, the property will be sold. When we are awarded title or completion of deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, we transfer the loan to foreclosed assets included in Other assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheet. Property obtained in satisfaction of a loan is initially recorded at estimated fair value less cost to sell. Based upon the estimated fair value less cost to sell, the amortized cost basis of the loan is adjusted and a charge-off/recovery is recognized to the ALLL. We estimate fair values primarily based on appraisals or sales agreements with third parties. Subsequently, foreclosed assets are valued at the lower of the amount recorded at the acquisition date or estimated fair value less cost to sell. Valuation adjustments on these assets and gains or losses realized from disposition of such property are reflected in Other noninterest expense.

For certain mortgage loans that have a government guarantee, we establish a separate other receivable upon foreclosure. The receivable is measured based on the loan balance (inclusive of principal and interest) that is expected to be recovered from the guarantor.

<u>Charge-offs</u> 

We generally charge-off commercial (commercial and industrial, commercial real estate and equipment lease financing) nonperforming loans when we determine that a specific loan, or portion thereof, is uncollectible. This determination is based on the specific facts and circumstances of the individual loans. However, we may use certain inputs as an aid in making this determination, including but not limited to assessments of the collateral pledged to the underlying loan and loss estimates that are informed by internal and third-party reports. Additionally, we consider the viability of the business or project as a going concern, the past due status when the asset is not well secured, the expected cash flows to repay the loan, the value of the collateral less costs to sell, and the ability and willingness of any guarantors to perform when making this determination. For most commercial loans above a defined dollar threshold, charge-offs are generally assessed on an individual loan basis and are informed by third party valuations (where available) and internal information, except for those loans secured by real estate. For loans secured by real estate, we charge-off the amortized cost of the loan to a defined LTV ratio when the loan is placed on nonaccrual designation. For commercial loans and leases less than a defined dollar threshold, balances are generally charged-off in full after 180 days for loans and 120 days for leases. Refer to the appraisal discussion that follows for additional information on third party examinations and appraisals.

We generally charge-off secured consumer (home equity, residential real estate and automobile) nonperforming loans to the fair

value of collateral less costs to sell if the fair value is lower than the amortized cost basis of the loan outstanding and the delinquency of the loan, combined with other risk factors such as bankruptcy or lien position, indicates that the loan (or a portion thereof) is uncollectible as per our historical experience. These nonperforming loans would also be charged-off when the collateral has been repossessed. We charge-off secured consumer loans no later than 180 days past due. Most consumer loans and lines of credit, not secured by automobiles or residential real estate, are charged-off once they have reached 120-180 days past due.

Depending on the class of financing receivable, we may use a combination of internal and external valuation sources in determining the value of collateral. Our use of these valuation techniques is dependent upon the collateral securing the loan, which varies by loan class, as explained below.

For commercial and industrial loans, common forms of collateral include short-term assets, such as accounts receivable, inventory and securities, and long-lived assets, such as equipment, owner-occupied real estate and other business assets. Depending on the size of the loan and composition of the collateral pool, we may require an appraisal or, depending on the type of collateral, a field examination at loan origination. For loans with an identified weakness and other characteristics as demonstrated by our internal classifications and policies, the frequency of appraisal updates is specific to collateral type and size of loan. These appraisal updates aid in determining the timing and amount of a charge-off, if deemed necessary. For loans secured by machinery and equipment, an orderly liquidation value appraisal is required bi-annually while the loan continues to demonstrate weakness. In the off year, we obtain desktop appraisal values which may be informed from internal analytics. For loans secured by inventory or accounts receivable, we require an appraisal or a field examination annually while the loan continues to demonstrate weakness. Refer to the discussion that follows for appraisal requirements related to loans secured by real estate.

For commercial real estate loans, collateral generally includes land and/or buildings that are used to generate income for the borrower, which we assign a value to through use of appraisals performed by qualified, independent third-party state certified real estate appraisers. New loans or loans being evaluated for extension or material modification are required to be appraised. The frequency of reappraisals outside of a credit action is based on regulatory and internal requirements. Generally, for loans with heightened risk, a cadence has been established to obtain updated appraisals at least annually to aid in determining the timing and amount of a charge-off, if deemed necessary. Loans that do not demonstrate a heightened risk are monitored through our ongoing management of the portfolio, including any need for a new appraisal. All appraisals are reviewed by independent qualified real estate valuation personnel. Depending on the specific circumstances of the property at the time of appraisal, we may use one, or a combination of as-is, as-completed or as-stabilized appraisals.

For residential real estate and certain home equity loans, where collateral typically includes the property securing the loan or line-of-credit, PNC obtains appraisals and evaluations through independent appraisal management companies at the time of loan application, in accordance with regulatory guidelines. We use internally derived property values based on vendor automated valuation models or HPI indices to monitor value trends since the time of loan origination, which we update monthly. We obtain broker price opinions when foreclosure proceedings are initiated and order independent appraisals for loans that we have foreclosed on to aid in determining the timing and amount of a charge-off. Residential real estate appraisals are subject to GSE and regulatory (e.g., Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice) appraisal standards. In addition to utilizing GSE appraisal standards, home equity loans may use third-party proprietary appraisal standards which also meet regulatory requirements, or may undergo an evaluation process as an alternative to an appraisal. Residential real estate and home equity loans generally use an as-is appraisal valuation.

For secured collateral dependent loans, collateral values are updated at least annually and subsequent declines in collateral values are charged-off, resulting in incremental provision for credit loss. Subsequent increases in collateral values may be reflected as an adjustment to the ALLL to reflect the expectation of recoveries in an amount greater than previously expected, limited to amounts previously charged-off.

See Note 3 Loans and Related Allowance for Credit Losses for additional information on FDMs, nonperforming assets and credit quality indicators related to our loan portfolio.

**<u>Allowance for Credit Losses</u>**

Our ACL is based on historical loss experience, current borrower risk characteristics, current economic conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts of future conditions and other relevant factors. We maintain the ACL at an appropriate level for expected losses on our existing investment securities, loans, equipment finance leases, other financial assets and unfunded lending related commitments, for the remaining estimated contractual term of the assets or exposures as of the balance sheet date. The remaining contractual term of assets in scope of CECL is estimated considering contractual maturity dates, prepayment expectations, utilization or draw expectations and any contractually embedded extension options that do not allow us to unilaterally cancel the extension options. For products without a fixed contractual maturity date (*e.g*., credit cards), we rely on historical payment behavior to determine the effective tenor of the exposure.

We estimate expected losses on a pooled basis using a combination of (i) the expected losses over a reasonable and supportable forecast period, (ii) a period of reversion to long-run average expected losses, where applicable and (iii) the long-run average expected losses for the remaining estimated contractual term. For all assets and unfunded lending related commitments in the scope of CECL, the ACL also includes individually assessed reserves and qualitative reserves, as applicable.

We use forward-looking information in estimating expected credit losses for our reasonable and supportable forecast period. For this purpose, we use forecasted scenarios produced by PNC's Economics Team, which are designed to reflect potential trajectories of the business cycles and their related estimated probabilities. The forecast length that we have currently determined to be reasonable and supportable is three years. As noted in the methodology discussions that follow, forward-looking information is incorporated into the

The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. – *2025 Form 10-K* **95**

------

expected credit loss estimates. Such forward-looking information includes forecasted relevant macroeconomic variables, which are estimated using quantitative macroeconomic models, analysis from PNC economists and management judgment.

The reversion period is used to bridge our three-year reasonable and supportable forecast period and the long-run average expected credit losses. We consider a number of factors in determining the duration of the reversion period, such as contractual maturity of the asset, observed historical patterns and the estimated credit loss rates at the end of the forecast period relative to the beginning of the long-run average period. The reversion period ranges from immediate to three years.

The long-run average expected credit losses are derived from long-run historical credit loss information adjusted for the credit quality of the current portfolio and, therefore, do not consider current and forecasted economic conditions.

**Allowance for Investment Securities**

A significant portion of our investment securities are issued or guaranteed by either the U.S. government (U.S. Treasury or a government entity) or a GSE (FNMA or FHLMC). Taking into consideration historical information and current and forecasted conditions, we do not expect to incur any credit losses on these securities.

Investment securities that are not issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or a GSE consist of both securitized products, such as non-agency mortgage and asset-backed securities, as well as non-securitized products, such as corporate and municipal debt securities. A discounted cash flow approach is primarily used to determine the amount of the allowance required. The estimates of expected cash flows are determined using macroeconomic sensitive models taking into consideration the reasonable and supportable forecast period and scenarios discussed above. Additional factors unique to a specific security may also be taken into consideration when estimating expected cash flows. The cash flows expected to be collected, after considering expected prepayments, are discounted at the effective interest rate. For an available-for-sale security, the amount of the allowance is limited to the difference between the amortized cost basis of the security and its estimated fair value.

See Note 2 Investment Securities for additional information about the investment securities portfolio.

**Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses**

Our pooled expected credit loss methodology is based upon the quantification of risk parameters, such as PD, LGD, EAD and the remaining estimated contractual term for a loan, loan segment or lease. We also consider the impact of prepayments and amortization on the estimated contractual term in our expected loss estimates. We use historical credit loss information, current borrower risk characteristics and forecasted economic variables for the reasonable and supportable forecast period, coupled with analytical methods, to estimate these risk parameters by loan, loan segment or lease. PD, LGD and EAD parameters are calculated for each forecasted scenario and the long-run average period, and are combined to generate expected loss estimates by scenario. Each scenario is then weighted to determine our total estimated loss. The following matrix provides credit risk characteristics that we use to estimate these risk parameters.

After the forecast period, we revert to the long-run average over the reversion period noted above, which is the period between the end of the forecast period and when losses are estimated to have completely reverted to the long-run average.

Once we have developed a combined estimate of credit losses (*i.e.*, for the forecast period, reversion period and long-run average) under each of the forecasted scenarios, we produce a probability-weighted credit loss estimate. In addition, we add or deduct any qualitative components and other adjustments, such as individually assessed loans, to produce the ALLL. See the Individually Assessed Component and Qualitative Component discussions that follow in this Note 1 for additional information about those adjustments.

<u>Individually Assessed Component</u>

Loans and leases that do not share similar risk characteristics with a pool of loans are individually assessed as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• For commercial nonperforming loans greater than or equal to a defined dollar threshold, reserves are based on an analysis of the present value of the loan's expected future cash flows or the fair value of the collateral, if appropriate under our policy for collateral dependent loans. Nonperforming commercial loans below the defined threshold are reserved for under a pooled basis, as we believe these loans continue to share similar risk characteristics.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• For consumer nonperforming loans classified as collateral dependent, charge-off and ALLL related to recovery of amounts previously charged-off are evaluated through an analysis of the fair value of the collateral less costs to sell.

<u>Qualitative Component</u>

While our reserve models and methodologies strive to reflect all relevant expected credit risk factors, the ACL also accounts for factors that may not be directly measured in the determination of individually assessed or pooled reserves. Such qualitative factors may include, but are not limited to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Industry concentrations and conditions,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Changes in market conditions, including regulatory and legal requirements,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Changes in the nature and volume of our portfolio,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Recent credit quality trends,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Recent loss experience in particular portfolios, including specific and unique events,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Recent macroeconomic factors that may not be reflected in the forecast information,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Limitations of available input data, including historical loss information and recent data such as collateral values,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Model imprecision and limitations,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Changes in lending policies and procedures, including changes in loss recognition and mitigation policies and procedures, and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Timing of available information.

See Note 3 Loans and Related Allowance for Credit Losses for additional information about our loan portfolio and the related allowance.

**Accrued Interest**

When accrued interest is reversed or charged-off in a timely manner, the CECL standard provides a practical expedient to exclude

accrued interest from ACL measurement. We consider our nonaccrual and charge-off policies to be timely for all of our investment

securities, loans and leases, with the exception of consumer credit cards, education loans and certain unsecured consumer lines of credit. We consider the length of time before nonaccrual/charge-off and the use of appropriate other triggering events for nonaccrual and charge-offs in making this determination. Pursuant to these policy elections, we calculate reserves for accrued interest on credit cards, education loans and certain unsecured consumer lines of credit, which are then included within the ALLL. See the Debt Securities and the Nonperforming Loans and Leases sections of this Note 1 for additional information on our nonaccrual and charge-off policies.

**Purchased Credit Deteriorated Loans or Securities**

The allowance for PCD loans or securities is determined at the time of acquisition, as the estimated expected credit loss of the outstanding balance or par value, based on the methodologies described previously for loans and securities. In accordance with CECL, the allowance recognized at acquisition is added to the acquisition date purchase price to determine the asset's amortized cost basis.

**Allowance for Unfunded Lending Related Commitments** 

We maintain the allowance for unfunded lending related commitments on off-balance sheet credit exposures that are not unconditionally cancelable (*e.g.*, unfunded loan commitments, letters of credit and certain financial guarantees), at a level we believe is appropriate as of the balance sheet date to absorb expected credit losses on these exposures. Other than the estimation of the probability of funding, this reserve is estimated in a manner similar to the methodology used for determining reserves for pooled loans and leases. See the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses section of this Note 1 for the key credit risk characteristics for unfunded lending related commitments. The allowance for unfunded lending related commitments is recorded as a liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Net adjustments to this reserve are included in Provision for credit losses on the Consolidated Income Statement.

See Note 3 Loans and Related Allowance for Credit Losses for additional information about this allowance.

**Allowance for Other Financial Assets**

We determine the allowance for other financial assets (*e.g.*, trade receivables, servicing advances on PNC-owned loans and balances with banks) considering historical loss information and other available indicators. In certain cases where there are no historical, current or forecast indicators of an expected credit loss, we may estimate the reserve to be close to zero. As of December 31, 2025, December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023 the allowance for other financial assets was immaterial.

**<u>Loans Held for Sale</u>**

We designate loans as held for sale when we have the intent and ability to sell them. At the time of designation to held for sale, any ACL is reversed, and a valuation allowance for the shortfall between the amortized cost basis and the net realizable value is recognized, excluding the amounts already charged-off. Similarly, when loans are no longer considered held for sale, the valuation allowance (net of writedowns) is reversed, and an allowance for credit losses is established, excluding the amounts already charged-off. Write-downs on loans held for sale (if required) are recorded as charge-offs through the valuation allowance. Adjustments to the valuation allowance on held for sale loans are recognized in Other noninterest income.

We have elected to account for certain commercial and residential mortgage loans held for sale at fair value. The changes in the fair value of commercial and residential mortgage loans are measured and recorded within Residential and commercial mortgage noninterest income each period. See Note 14 Fair Value for additional information.

Interest income with respect to loans held for sale is accrued based on the principal amount outstanding and the loan's contractual interest rate.

In certain circumstances, loans designated as held for sale may be transferred to held for investment based on a change in strategy. We transfer these loans at the lower of cost or estimated fair value; however, any loans originated or purchased for the held for sale portfolio and for which the fair value option has been elected remain at fair value for the life of the loan.

**<u>Loan Sales, Loan Securitizations and Retained Interests</u>**

We recognize the sale of loans or other financial assets when the transferred assets are legally isolated from our creditors and the appropriate accounting criteria are met. We have sold mortgage and other loans through securitization transactions. In a securitization, financial assets are transferred into trusts or to SPEs in transactions to effectively legally isolate the assets from us.

In a securitization, the trust or SPE issues beneficial interests in the form of senior and subordinated securities backed or collateralized by the assets sold to the trust. The senior classes of the asset-backed securities typically receive investment grade credit ratings at the

The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. – *2025 Form 10-K* **99**

------

time of issuance. These ratings are generally achieved through the creation of lower-rated subordinated classes of asset-backed securities, as well as subordinated or residual interests. In certain cases, we may retain a portion or all of the securities issued, interest-only strips, one or more subordinated tranches, servicing rights and, in some cases, cash reserve accounts. If sale accounting is achieved, securitized loans are removed from the balance sheet and a net gain or loss is recognized in Noninterest income at the time of initial sale. Gains or losses recognized on the sale of the loans depend on the fair value of the loans sold and the retained interests at the date of sale. We generally estimate the fair value of the retained interests based on the present value of future expected cash flows using assumptions as to discount rates, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit losses and servicing costs, if applicable.

With the exception of loan sales to certain GSEs, our loan sales and securitizations are generally structured without recourse to us except for representations and warranties and with no restrictions on the retained interests. We originate, sell and service commercial mortgage loans under the FNMA DUS program. Under the provisions of the DUS program, we participate in a loss-sharing arrangement with FNMA. When we are obligated for loss-sharing or recourse, our policy is to record such liabilities initially at fair value and subsequently reserve for estimated losses in accordance with guidance contained in applicable GAAP.

**<u>Variable Interest Entities</u>**

A VIE is a corporation, partnership, LLC, or any other legal structure used to conduct activities or hold assets generally that either:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Does not have equity investors with voting rights that can directly or indirectly make decisions about the entity's most significant economic activities through those voting rights or similar rights, or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Has equity investors that do not provide sufficient equity for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support.

A VIE often holds financial assets, including loans or receivables, real estate or other property.

VIEs are assessed for consolidation under ASC 810 – *Consolidation* when we hold a variable interest in these entities. We consolidate a VIE if we are its primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary of a VIE is determined to be the party that meets both of the following criteria: (i) has the power to make decisions that most significantly affect the economic performance of the VIE; and (ii) has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that in either case could potentially be significant to the VIE. Upon consolidation of a VIE, we recognize all of the VIE's assets, liabilities and noncontrolling interests on our Consolidated Balance Sheet. On a quarterly basis, we determine whether any changes occurred requiring a reassessment of whether we are the primary beneficiary of an entity.

See Note 4 Loan Sale and Servicing Activities and Variable Interest Entities for information about VIEs that we consolidate as well as those that we do not consolidate but in which we hold a significant variable interest.

**<u>Mortgage Servicing Rights</u>**

We provide servicing under various loan servicing contracts for commercial and residential loans. These contracts are either purchased in the open market or retained as part of a loan securitization or loan sale. All acquired or originated servicing rights are initially measured at fair value. Fair value is based on the present value of the expected future net cash flows, including assumptions as to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Deposit balances and interest rates for escrow and commercial reserve earnings,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Discount rates,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Estimated prepayment speeds, and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Estimated servicing costs.

We've elected to subsequently measure commercial and residential MSRs at fair value. We manage the risk of changes in fair value of MSRs by hedging the fair value with derivatives and securities which are expected to offset the change in fair value of the servicing rights. Changes in the fair value of MSRs are recognized as gains or losses. The fair value of these servicing rights is estimated by using a discounted cash flow valuation model which calculates the present value of estimated future net servicing cash flows, taking into consideration actual and expected mortgage loan prepayment rates, discount rates, servicing costs and other factors which are determined based on current market conditions.

See Note 5 Goodwill and Mortgage Servicing Rights and Note 14 Fair Value for additional information.

**<u>Goodwill</u>** 

Goodwill arising from business acquisitions represents the value attributable to unidentifiable intangible elements in the business acquired. Goodwill is assigned at the reporting unit level on the acquisition date. A reporting unit is a business segment or

one level below a business segment. At least annually, in the fourth quarter, management performs the goodwill impairment test at a reporting unit level. The goodwill impairment test may also be performed more frequently if events occur or circumstances have changed significantly from the annual test date, when such events or circumstances may indicate that it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of a reporting unit is below its carrying value. Examples of events or circumstances that are considered for more frequent

**100**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. – *2025 Form 10-K*

------

goodwill impairment testing include, but are not limited to, changes in macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, and other relevant PNC or reporting unit specific events.

When performing a goodwill impairment test, PNC may first perform a qualitative analysis to evaluate whether it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If, after considering all relevant events and circumstances, PNC determines it is not more-likely-than-not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then performing a quantitative impairment test is not necessary. If PNC elects to bypass the qualitative analysis, or concludes via qualitative analysis that it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, a quantitative goodwill impairment test is performed. Inputs are generated and used in calculating the fair value of the reporting unit, which is compared to its carrying amount. The fair value of our reporting units is determined by using discounted cash flows and/or market comparability methodologies. If the fair value is greater than the carrying amount, then the reporting unit's goodwill is deemed not to be impaired. If the fair value is less than the carrying amount, an entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds the reporting unit's fair value. The loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit and subsequent reversals of goodwill impairment are not permitted.

See Note 5 Goodwill and Mortgage Servicing Rights for additional information.

**<u>Leases</u>**

**Lessor Arrangements**

We provide financing for various types of equipment, including aircraft, energy and power systems and vehicles through a variety of lease arrangements. Finance leases are carried at the aggregate of lease payments plus estimated residual value of the leased equipment, less unearned income. Leveraged leases, a form of financing leases, are carried net of nonrecourse debt. We recognize income over the term of the lease using the constant effective yield method. Lease residual values are reviewed for impairment at least annually. Gains or losses on the sale of leased assets are included in Other noninterest income. Valuation adjustments on operating lease residuals are included in Other noninterest expense while valuation adjustments on the net investment of a direct financing or sales-type lease are included in Provision for credit losses.

**Lessee Arrangements**

We lease retail branches, datacenters, office space, land and equipment under operating and finance leases. Under ASC 842, we elected the practical expedient to account for the lease and nonlease components of real estate leases and leases of advertising assets, such as signage, as a single lease component. For other leased asset classes, lease and nonlease components of new lease agreements are accounted for separately. In addition, we elected the practical expedient to not apply the recognition requirements under the standard to short-term leases. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet, as we recognize lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. 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 right-of-use-asset and lease liability.

See Note 6 Leases for additional information on our leasing arrangements.

**<u>Depreciation and Amortization</u>**

For financial reporting purposes, we depreciate premises and equipment, net of salvage value, principally using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives.

We use estimated useful lives for furniture and equipment ranging from one to 10 years and depreciate buildings over an estimated useful life of up to 40 years. We amortize leasehold improvements over their estimated useful lives of up to 15 years or the respective lease terms, whichever is shorter.

We purchase, as well as internally develop and customize, certain software to enhance or perform internal business functions. Software development costs incurred in the planning and post-development project stages are charged to Noninterest expense. Costs associated with designing software configuration and interfaces, installation, coding programs and testing systems are capitalized and amortized using the straight-line method over periods generally ranging from one to 10 years. Implementation costs of software hosting arrangements are capitalized and amortized over the contractual term of the associated arrangement, including extension options we are reasonably certain to exercise, on a straight-line basis.

We review the remaining useful lives and carrying values of premises and equipment to determine whether an event has occurred that would indicate a change in useful life is warranted or if any impairment exists.

The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. – *2025 Form 10-K* **101**

------

**<u>Other Comprehensive Income</u>**

Other comprehensive income, on an after-tax basis, primarily consists of unrealized gains or losses on available-for-sale debt securities, unrealized gains or losses on derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, and changes in plan assets and benefit obligations of pension and other postretirement benefit plans. Details of each component are included in Note 12 Other Comprehensive Income.

**<u>Treasury Stock</u>**

We record common stock purchased for treasury at cost. At the date of subsequent reissue, the treasury stock account is reduced by the cost of such stock on the first-in, first-out basis.

**<u>Earnings Per Common Share</u>**

Basic earnings per common share is calculated using the two-class method to determine income attributable to common shareholders. Unvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents are considered participating securities under the two-class method. Distributed dividends and dividend equivalents related to participating securities and an allocation of undistributed net income to participating securities reduce the amount of income attributable to common shareholders. In a period with a loss, no allocation will be made to the participating securities, as they do not have a contractual obligation to absorb losses. Income attributable to common shareholders is then divided by the weighted-average common shares outstanding for the period.

Diluted earnings per common share is calculated under the more dilutive of either the treasury stock method or the two-class method. For the diluted calculation, we increase the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding by the assumed conversion of outstanding convertible preferred stock from the beginning of the year or date of issuance, if later, and the number of shares of common stock that would be issued assuming the exercise of stock options and warrants and the issuance of incentive shares using the treasury stock method. These adjustments to the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding are made only when such adjustments will dilute earnings per common share. For periods in which there is a loss from continuing operations, any potential dilutive shares will be anti-dilutive. In this scenario, no potential dilutive shares will be included in the continuing operations, discontinued operations or total earnings per common share calculations, even if overall net income is reported.

See Note 13 Earnings Per Share for additional information.

**<u>Fair Value of Financial Instruments</u>**

The fair value of financial instruments and the methods and assumptions used in estimating fair value amounts and financial assets and liabilities for which fair value was elected are detailed in Note 14 Fair Value.

**<u>Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities</u>**

We use a variety of financial derivatives to both mitigate exposure to market (primarily interest rate) and credit risks inherent in our business activities, as well as to facilitate customer risk management activities. We manage these risks as part of our asset and liability management process and through credit policies and procedures.

We recognize all derivative instruments at fair value as either Other assets or Other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet and the related cash flows in the Operating Activities section of the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. Adjustments for counterparty credit risk are included in the determination of fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative instrument depends on whether it has been designated and qualifies as part of a cash flow or net investment hedging relationship. For all other derivatives, changes in fair value are recognized in earnings.

We utilize a net presentation for derivative instruments on the Consolidated Balance Sheet taking into consideration the effects of legally enforceable master netting agreements. Cash collateral exchanged with counterparties is also netted against the applicable derivative exposures by offsetting obligations to return, or general rights to reclaim, cash collateral against the fair values of the net derivatives being collateralized.

For those derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as accounting hedges, we designate the hedging instrument, based on the exposure being hedged, as a fair value hedge, a cash flow hedge or a hedge of the net investment in a foreign operation.

We formally document the relationship between the hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as the risk management objective and strategy, before undertaking an accounting hedge. To qualify for hedge accounting, the derivatives and related hedged items must be designated as a hedge at inception of the hedge relationship. In addition, a derivative must be highly effective at reducing the risk associated with the exposure being hedged. For accounting hedge relationships, we formally assess, both at the inception of the hedge and on an ongoing basis, if the derivatives are highly effective in offsetting designated changes in the fair value or cash flows of the hedged item. If it is determined that the derivative instrument is not highly effective, hedge accounting is discontinued. We assess

**102**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. – *2025 Form 10-K*

------

effectiveness using statistical regression analysis. Where the critical terms of the derivative and hedged item match, effectiveness may be assessed qualitatively.

For derivatives that are designated as fair value hedges (*i.e*., hedging the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset or a liability attributable to a particular risk, such as changes in benchmark interest rates), changes in the fair value of the hedging instrument are recognized in earnings and offset by also recognizing in earnings the changes in the fair value of the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk. To the extent the change in fair value of the derivative does not offset the change in fair value of the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk, the difference is reflected in the Consolidated Income Statement in the same income statement line as the hedged item.

For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges (*i.e*., hedging the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows), the gain or loss on derivatives is reported as a component of AOCI and subsequently reclassified to income in the same period or periods during which the hedged cash flows affect earnings and recorded in the same income statement line item as the hedged cash flows. For derivatives designated as a hedge of net investment in a foreign operation, the gain or loss on the derivatives is reported as a component of AOCI.

We discontinue hedge accounting when it is determined that the derivative (i) no longer qualifies as an effective hedge; (ii) the derivative expires or is sold, terminated or exercised; or (iii) the derivative is de-designated as a fair value or cash flow hedge or, for a cash flow hedge, it is no longer probable that the forecasted transaction will occur by the end of the originally specified time period.

We purchase or originate financial instruments that contain an embedded derivative. For financial instruments not measured at fair value with changes in fair value reported in earnings, we assess, at inception of the transaction, if the economic characteristics of the embedded derivative are clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics of the host contract, and whether a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative would be a derivative. If the embedded derivative is not clearly and closely related to the host contract and meets the definition of a derivative, the embedded derivative is recorded separately from the host contract with changes in fair value recorded in earnings, unless we elect to account for the hybrid instrument at fair value.

We enter into commitments to originate residential and commercial mortgage loans for sale. We also enter into commitments to purchase or sell commercial and residential real estate loans. These commitments are accounted for as free-standing derivatives which are recorded at fair value in Other assets or Other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Any gain or loss from the change in fair value after the inception of the commitment is recognized in Noninterest income.

See Note 15 Financial Derivatives for additional information.

**<u>Income Taxes</u>**

Effective for our 2025 Form 10-K, we adopted ASU 2023-09 *Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures,* which expands presentation requirements for select items, including the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid (net of refunds) disclosures. The ASU was applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented. The ASU requires specific categories to be presented in a rate reconciliation between the U.S. statutory federal income tax expense (or benefit) and the effective income tax expense (or benefit), while providing additional information for any reconciling item that is equal to or greater than five percent of the amount computed by multiplying pretax income (or loss) by the statutory income tax rate. Additionally, the ASU requires the amount of income taxes paid to be disaggregated by federal, state and foreign source, and further requires disaggregation for jurisdictions that are equal to or greater than five percent of total income taxes paid (net of refunds received). Refer to Note 18 Income Taxes for additional information on our adoption of this ASU.

We account for income taxes under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that we expect will apply at the time when we believe the differences will reverse. Changes in tax rates and tax law are accounted for in the period of enactment. Thus, at the enactment date, deferred taxes are remeasured and the change is recognized in Income tax expense. The recognition of deferred tax assets requires an assessment to determine the realization of such assets. Realization refers to the incremental benefit achieved through the reduction in future taxes payable or refunds receivable from the deferred tax assets, assuming that the underlying deductible differences and carryforwards are the last items to enter into the determination of future taxable income. We establish a valuation allowance for tax assets when it is more likely than not that they will not be realized, based upon all available positive and negative evidence.

We have elected to apply PAM to our qualifying LIHTC and NMTC equity investments. Investment tax credits and investment impairment are recognized in tax expense for any individual LIHTC and NMTC equity investment for which we can demonstrate that the investment was made primarily for the purpose of receiving income tax credits and other income tax benefits. We use the deferral method of accounting for all investment tax credit equity investments. Under this method, the investment tax credits are recognized as a reduction to the related asset.

See Note 18 Income Taxes for additional information.

---

(a) At December 31, 2025, the accrued interest associated with our held-to-maturity and available-for-sale portfolios totaled $219 million and $348 million, respectively. The comparable amounts at December 31, 2024 were $242 million and $328 million, respectively. These amounts are included in Other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

(b) Credit ratings represent a primary credit quality indicator used to monitor and manage credit risk. Of our total securities portfolio, 97% were rated AAA/AA at both December 31, 2025 and 2024.

(c) Amortized cost is presented net of allowance of $61 million for securities available-for-sale, primarily related to non-agency commercial mortgage-backed securities, and $5 million for securities held-to-maturity at December 31, 2025. The comparable amounts at December 31, 2024 were $86 million and $5 million, respectively.

(d) Held-to-maturity securities transferred from available-for-sale are included in held-to-maturity at fair value at the time of the transfer. The amortized cost of held-to-maturity securities included net unrealized losses of $2.7 billion at December 31, 2025, related to securities transferred, which are offset in AOCI, net of tax. The comparable amount at December 31, 2024 was $3.4 billion.

The fair value of investment securities is impacted by interest rates, credit spreads, market volatility and liquidity conditions. Securities available-for-sale are carried at fair value with net unrealized gains and losses included in Total shareholders' equity as AOCI, unless credit-related. Net unrealized gains and losses are determined by taking the difference between the fair value of a security and its amortized cost, net of any allowance. Securities held-to-maturity are carried at amortized cost, net of any allowance. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, there were $0.6 billion of net unsettled sales and $1.2 billion of net unsettled purchases of investment securities, respectively. This activity represents non-cash investing activity and, accordingly, is not reflected on the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

We maintain the allowance for investment securities at levels that we believe to be appropriate as of the balance sheet date to absorb

expected credit losses on our portfolio. As of December 31, 2025, the allowance for investment securities was $66 million and

primarily related to non-agency commercial mortgage-backed securities in the available-for-sale portfolio. The comparable amount at December 31, 2024 was $91 million. See Note 1 Accounting Policies for a discussion of the methodologies used to determine the allowance for investment securities.

At December 31, 2025, AOCI included pre-tax losses of $229 million from derivatives that hedged the purchase of investment securities classified as held-to-maturity. The losses will be accreted to interest income as an adjustment of yield on the securities.

Table 42 presents the gross unrealized losses and fair value of securities available-for-sale that do not have an associated allowance for investment securities at December 31, 2025 and 2024. These securities are segregated between investments that had 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. All securities included in the table have been evaluated to determine if a credit loss exists. As part of that assessment, as of December 31, 2025, we concluded that we do not intend to sell and believe we will not be required to sell these securities prior to recovery of the amortized cost basis.

**NOTE 3 LOANS AND RELATED ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES**

**<u>Loan Portfolio</u>**

Our loan portfolio consists of two portfolio segments – Commercial and Consumer. Each of these segments comprises multiple loan classes. Classes are characterized by similarities in risk attributes and the manner in which we monitor and assess credit risk.

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Commercial | Consumer |
| Commercial | Consumer |
| • Commercial and industrial | • Residential real estate |
| • Commercial real estate | • Home equity |
| • Equipment lease financing | • Automobile |
| | • Credit card |
| | • Education |
| | • Other consumer |

---

See Note 1 Accounting Policies for additional information on our loan related policies.

**<u>Credit Quality</u>**

We closely monitor economic conditions and loan performance trends to manage and evaluate our exposure to credit risk within the loan portfolio based on our defined loan classes. In doing so, we use several credit quality indicators, including, but not limited to, trends in delinquency rates, nonperforming status, analyses of PD and LGD ratings, updated credit scores and originated and updated LTV ratios.

We manage credit risk based on the risk profile of the borrower, repayment sources, underlying collateral and other support given current events, economic conditions and expectations. We refine our practices to address operating environment changes such as inflation levels, industry specific risks, interest rate levels, the level of consumer savings and deposit balances, and structural and secular changes such as those that arose from the pandemic. We offer loan modifications and collection programs to assist our customers and mitigate losses.

Table 46 presents the composition and delinquency status of our loan portfolio at December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. Loan delinquencies include government insured or guaranteed loans and loans accounted for under the fair value option.

(a)Amounts in table represent loans held for investment and do not include any associated ALLL.

(b)The accrued interest associated with our loan portfolio totaled $1.3 billion at both December 31, 2025 and 2024. These amounts are included in Other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

(c)Past due loan amounts include government insured or guaranteed residential real estate loans and education loans totaling $0.3 billion and $0.1 billion at both December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

(d)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 policy criteria. Given that these loans are not accounted for at amortized cost, they have been excluded from the nonperforming loan population.

(e)Includes unearned income, unamortized deferred fees and costs on originated loans and premiums or discounts on purchased loans totaling $1.1 billion and $1.0 billion at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

(f)Collateral dependent loans totaled $1.5 billion and $1.6 billion at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

In the normal course of business, we originate or purchase loan products with contractual characteristics that, when concentrated, may

increase our exposure as a holder of those loan products. Possible product features that may create a concentration of credit risk would

include a high original or updated LTV ratio, term lengths that may expose the borrower to payment terms above market interest rates and interest-only loans, among others.

We originate interest-only loans to commercial borrowers. Such credit arrangements are usually designed to match borrower cash flow expectations (*e.g.*, working capital lines, revolvers). These products are standard in the financial services industry and product features are considered during the underwriting process to mitigate the increased risk that borrowers may not be able to make interest and principal payments when due as a result of the interest-only feature. We do not believe that these product features create a concentration of credit risk.

At December 31, 2025, we pledged unpaid principal balances in the amounts of $55.0 billion of commercial and consumer loans to the FRB and $80.6 billion of secured real estate and other loans to the FHLB as collateral for the ability to borrow, if necessary. The comparable amounts at December 31, 2024 were $43.4 billion and $89.0 billion, respectively.

**Nonperforming Assets**

Nonperforming assets include nonperforming loans and leases, OREO, foreclosed and other 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 generally not recognized on these loans. Loans accounted for under the fair value option are reported as performing loans; 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. See Note 1 Accounting Policies for additional information on our nonperforming loan and lease policies.

The following table presents our nonperforming assets as of December 31, 2025 and 2024:

(a)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.

(b)Nonperforming loans for which there is no related ALLL totaled $0.6 billion at both December 31, 2025 and 2024. This primarily includes loans with a fair value of collateral that exceeds the amortized cost basis.

(c)Amounts at December 31, 2025 include $105 million of nonaccrual servicing advances primarily to single asset/single borrower trusts with commercial real estate as collateral.

**Additional Credit Quality Indicators by Loan Class**

<u>Commercial and Industrial</u>

For commercial and industrial loans, we monitor the performance of the borrower in a disciplined and regular manner based upon the level of credit risk inherent in the loan. To evaluate the level of credit risk, we assign an internal risk rating reflecting the borrower's PD and LGD. This two-dimensional credit risk rating methodology provides granularity in the risk monitoring process. These ratings are generally reviewed and updated at least once per year. For small balance homogeneous pools of commercial and industrial loans and leases, we apply scoring techniques to assist in determining the PD. The combination of the PD and LGD ratings assigned to commercial and industrial loans, capturing both the combination of expectations of default and loss severity in the event of default, reflects credit quality characteristics as of the reporting date and are used as inputs into our loss forecasting process.

Based upon the amount of the lending arrangement and our risk rating assessment, we follow a formal schedule of written periodic reviews. Quarterly, we conduct formal reviews of a market's or business unit's loan portfolio, focusing on those loans which we perceive to be of higher risk, based upon PD and LGD, or loans for which credit quality is weakening. If circumstances warrant, it is our practice to review any customer obligation and its level of credit risk more frequently. We attempt to proactively manage our loans by using various procedures that are customized to the risk of a given loan, including ongoing outreach, contact, and assessment of obligor financial conditions, collateral inspection and appraisal.

<u>Commercial Real Estate</u>

We manage credit risk associated with our commercial real estate loans similar to commercial and industrial loans by evaluating PD and LGD. Risks associated with commercial real estate loans tend to be correlated to the loan structure and collateral location, project progress and business environment. As a result, these attributes are also monitored and utilized in assessing credit risk.

As with the commercial and industrial loan class, a formal schedule of periodic reviews is also performed to assess market/geographic risk and business unit/industry risk. Often as a result of these reviews, more in-depth reviews and increased scrutiny are placed on areas of higher risk, such as adverse changes in risk ratings, deteriorating operating trends, and/or areas that concern management. These reviews are designed to assess risk and facilitate actions to mitigate such risks.

The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. – *2025 Form 10-K* **111**

------

<u>Equipment Lease Financing</u>

We manage credit risk associated with our equipment lease financing loan class similar to commercial and industrial loans by analyzing PD and LGD.

Based upon the dollar amount of the lease and the level of credit risk, we follow a formal schedule of periodic reviews. Generally, this occurs quarterly, although we have established practices to review such credit risk more frequently if circumstances warrant. Our review process entails analysis of the following factors: equipment value/residual value, exposure levels, jurisdiction risk, industry risk, guarantor requirements and regulatory compliance as applicable.

(a)Loans in our commercial portfolio are classified as Pass Rated or Criticized based on the regulatory definitions, which are driven by the PD and LGD ratings that we assign. The Criticized classification includes loans that were rated special mention, substandard or doubtful as of December 31, 2025 and 2024.

(b)Gross charge-offs are presented on a year-to-date basis, as of the period end date.

(c)Includes charge-offs of deposit overdrafts.

<u>Residential Real Estate and Home Equity</u>

We use several credit quality indicators, including delinquency information, nonperforming loan information, updated credit scores and originated and updated LTV ratios, to monitor and manage credit risk within the residential real estate and home equity loan classes. A summary of credit quality indicators follows:

*<u>Delinquency/Delinquency Rates</u>*<u>:</u> We monitor delinquency/delinquency rate trends for residential real estate and home equity loans. See Table 46 for additional information.

The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. – *2025 Form 10-K* **113**

------

*<u>Nonperforming Loans</u>*<u>:</u> We monitor nonperforming loan trends for residential real estate and home equity loans. See Table 46 for additional information.

*<u>Credit Scores:</u>* We use a national third-party provider to update FICO credit scores for residential real estate and home equity loans at least quarterly. The updated scores are incorporated into a series of credit management reports, which are utilized to monitor the risk in the loan classes.

*<u>LTV (inclusive of CLTV for first and subordinate lien positions):</u>* At least quarterly, we update the property values of real estate collateral and calculate an updated LTV ratio. For open-end credit lines secured by real estate in regions experiencing significant declines in property values, more frequent valuations may occur. We examine LTV migration and stratify LTV into categories to monitor the risk in the loan classes.

We use a combination of original LTV and updated LTV for internal risk management and reporting purposes (*e.g.*, line management, loss mitigation strategies). In addition to the fact that estimated property values by their nature are estimates, given certain data limitations, it is important to note that updated LTVs may be based upon management's assumptions (*i.e.*, if an updated LTV is not provided by the third-party service provider, HPI changes will be incorporated in arriving at management's estimate of updated LTV).

Updated LTV is estimated using modeled property values. The related estimates and inputs are based upon an approach that uses a combination of third-party automated valuation models, broker price opinions, HPI indices, property location, internal and external balance information, origination data and management assumptions. We generally utilize origination lien balances provided by a third-party, where applicable, which do not include an amortization assumption when calculating updated LTV. Accordingly, the results of the calculations do not represent actual appraised loan level collateral or updated LTV based upon lien balances held by others, and as such, are necessarily imprecise and subject to change as we refine our methodology.

<u>Automobile, Credit Card, Education and Other Consumer</u>

We monitor a variety of credit quality information in the management of these consumer loan classes. For all loan types, we generally use a combination of internal loan parameters as well as an updated FICO score. We use FICO scores as a primary credit quality indicator for automobile and credit card loans, as well as non-government guaranteed or non-insured education loans and other secured and unsecured lines and loans. Internal credit metrics, such as delinquency status, are heavily relied upon as credit quality indicators for government guaranteed or insured education loans and consumer loans to high net worth individuals, as internal credit metrics are more relevant than FICO scores for these types of loans.

Along with the monitoring of delinquency trends and losses for each class, FICO credit score updates are obtained at least quarterly along with a variety of credit bureau attributes. Loans with high FICO scores tend to have a lower likelihood of loss. Conversely, loans with low FICO scores tend to have a higher likelihood of loss.

(a)Gross charge-offs are presented on a year-to-date basis, as of the period end date.

(b)Loans where FICO scores are not available or required generally refers to new accounts issued to borrowers with limited credit history, accounts for which we cannot obtain an updated FICO score (*e.g.*, recent profile changes), cards issued with a business name and/or cards secured by collateral. Management proactively assesses the risk and size of this loan category and, when necessary, takes actions to mitigate the credit risk.

(c)Includes charge-offs of deposit overdrafts.

**<u>Loan Modifications to Borrowers Experiencing Financial Difficulty</u>**

FDMs result from our loss mitigation activities and include loan modifications that may result in interest rate reductions, term extensions, payment delays, repayment plans or combinations thereof. See Note 1 Accounting Policies for additional information on FDMs.

(a)Represents amortized cost basis.

(b)Loans in our Payment Delay category are reported as past due in accordance with their contractual terms. Once contractually modified, these loans are reported as past due in accordance with their restructured terms.

We generally consider FDMs to have subsequently defaulted when they become 60 days past due after the most recent date the loan was modified. Commercial loans that were both (i) classified as FDMs, and (ii) subsequently defaulted during 2025, 2024, and 2023 were $153 million, $223 million and $272 million, respectively.

(c)Excludes the amortized cost basis and financial effect of modified loans that were paid off, charged-off or otherwise liquidated as of the period end date.

(d)Represents all other modifications and includes trial modifications and loans where we have received notification that a borrower has filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy relief, but specific instructions as to the terms of the relief have not been formally ruled upon by the court.

(e)Repayment plans are excluded from financial effects because of varying terms offered in these plans. Credit card and unsecured lines of credit programs both offer short-term and fully-amortized repayment plans, impacting terms and interest rates. Home equity programs offer a fixed payment plan, establishing a modified monthly payment based primarily on the borrower's financial situation and the current market environment.

(f)Loans in our Payment Delay category are reported as past due in accordance with their contractual terms. Once contractually modified, these loans are reported as past due in accordance with their restructured terms.

The ACL related to loans totaled $5.2 billion at both December 31, 2025 and 2024. The slight increase in reserves was primarily driven by commercial and industrial portfolio activity and changes to macroeconomic scenarios, partially offset by commercial real estate portfolio activity.

**NOTE 4 LOAN SALE AND SERVICING ACTIVITIES AND VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES**

**<u>Loan Sale and Servicing Activities</u>**

We have transferred residential and commercial mortgage loans in securitization or sales transactions in which we have continuing involvement. These transfers have occurred through agency securitization, non-agency securitization, and loan sale transactions. Agency securitizations consist of securitization transactions with FNMA, FHLMC and GNMA (collectively, the Agencies). FNMA and FHLMC generally securitize our transferred loans into mortgage-backed securities for sale into the secondary market through SPEs that they sponsor. As an authorized GNMA issuer/servicer, we pool FHA and Department of VA insured loans into mortgage-backed securities for sale into the secondary market. In non-agency securitizations, we have transferred loans into securitization SPEs. In other instances, third-party investors have also purchased our loans in loan sale transactions and in certain instances have subsequently sold these loans into securitization SPEs. Securitization SPEs utilized in the agency and non-agency securitization transactions are VIEs.

Our continuing involvement in the FNMA, FHLMC, and GNMA securitizations, non-agency securitizations, and loan sale transactions generally consists of servicing, repurchasing previously transferred loans or loss share arrangements under certain conditions, and, in limited circumstances, holding of mortgage-backed securities issued by the securitization SPEs.

Depending on the transaction, we may act as the master, primary and/or special servicer to the securitization SPEs or third-party investors. Servicing responsibilities typically consist of collecting and remitting monthly borrower principal and interest payments, maintaining escrow deposits, performing loss mitigation and foreclosure activities, and, in certain instances, funding of servicing

The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. – *2025 Form 10-K* **121**

------

advances. Servicing advances, which are generally reimbursable, are made for principal and interest and collateral protection and are carried in Other assets at cost.

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 5 Goodwill and Mortgage Servicing Rights and Note 14 Fair Value for further discussion of our servicing rights.

Certain loans transferred to the Agencies contain ROAPs. Under these ROAPs, we hold an option to repurchase at par individual delinquent loans that meet certain criteria. In other limited cases, GNMA has granted us the right to repurchase current loans when we intend to modify the borrower's interest rate under established guidelines. When we have the unilateral ability to repurchase a loan, effective control over the loan has been regained and we recognize an asset (in either Loans or Loans held for sale) and a corresponding liability (in Other borrowed funds) on the balance sheet regardless of our intent to repurchase the loan.

The agency and non-agency mortgage-backed securities issued by the securitization SPEs that are purchased and held on our balance sheet are typically purchased in the secondary market. We do not retain any credit risk on our agency mortgage-backed security positions as FNMA, FHLMC and the U.S. Government (for GNMA) guarantee losses of principal and interest.

We also have involvement with certain agency and non-agency commercial securitization SPEs where we have not transferred commercial mortgage loans. These SPEs were sponsored by independent third-parties and the loans held by these entities were purchased exclusively from other third-parties. Generally, our involvement with these SPEs is as servicer with servicing activities consistent with those described above.

We recognize a liability for our loss exposure associated with contractual obligations to repurchase previously transferred loans due to possible breaches of representations and warranties and also for loss sharing arrangements (recourse obligations) with the Agencies. Other than providing temporary liquidity under servicing advances and our loss exposure associated with our repurchase and recourse obligations, we have not provided nor are we required to provide any type of credit support, guarantees or commitments to the securitization SPEs or third-party investors in these transactions.

The following table provides our loan sale and servicing activities:

(c)Includes contractually specified servicing fees, late charges and ancillary fees.

(d)Represents cash flows on securities where we transferred to, and/or service loans for, a securitization SPE and we hold securities issued by that SPE. The carrying values of such securities held were $17.2 billion in residential mortgage-backed securities and $0.4 billion in commercial mortgage-backed securities at December 31, 2025. Comparable amounts at December 31, 2024 were $18.2 billion and $0.6 billion, respectively.

(a)Represents information at the securitization level in which we have sold loans and we are the servicer for the securitization.

(b)Serviced delinquent loans are 90 days or more past due or are in process of foreclosure.

(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.

**<u>Variable Interest Entities (VIEs)</u>**

We are involved with various entities in the normal course of business that are deemed to be VIEs. We assess VIEs for consolidation based upon the accounting policies described in Note 1 Accounting Policies. Our consolidated VIEs were insignificant at both December 31, 2025 and 2024. We have not provided additional financial support to these entities which we are not contractually required to provide.

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 58 where we have determined that our continuing involvement is insignificant. 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 58. These loans are included as part of the asset quality disclosures that we make in Note 3 Loans and Related Allowance for Credit Losses.

**<u>Mortgage-Backed Securitizations</u>**

In connection with each agency and non-agency residential and commercial mortgage-backed securitization discussed above, we evaluate each SPE utilized in these transactions for consolidation. In performing these assessments, we evaluate our level of continuing involvement in these transactions as the nature of our involvement ultimately determines whether or not we hold a variable interest and/or are the primary beneficiary of the SPE. Factors we consider in our consolidation assessment include the significance of (i) our role as servicer, (ii) our holdings of mortgage-backed securities issued by the securitization SPE and (iii) the rights of third-party variable interest holders.

The first step in our assessment is to determine whether we hold a variable interest in the securitization SPE. We hold variable interests in agency and non-agency securitization SPEs through our holding of residential and commercial mortgage-backed securities issued by the SPEs and/or our recourse obligations. Each SPE in which we hold a variable interest is evaluated to determine whether we are the primary beneficiary of the entity. For agency securitization transactions, our contractual role as servicer does not give us the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect the economic performance of the SPEs. Thus, we are not the primary beneficiary of these entities. For non-agency securitization transactions, we would be the primary beneficiary to the extent our servicing activities give us the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect the economic performance of the SPE and we hold a more-than-insignificant variable interest in the entity.

Details about the agency and non-agency securitization SPEs where we hold a variable interest and are not the primary beneficiary are included in Table 58. Our maximum exposure to loss as a result of our involvement with these SPEs is the carrying value of the mortgage-backed securities, servicing assets, servicing advances and our liabilities associated with our recourse obligations. Creditors of the securitization SPEs have no recourse to our assets or general credit.

**<u>Tax Credit Investments and Other</u>**

For tax credit investments in which we do not have the right to make decisions that will most significantly impact the economic performance of the entity, we are not the primary beneficiary and thus do not consolidate the entity. These investments are disclosed in Table 58. The table also reflects our maximum exposure to loss exclusive of any potential tax credit recapture. Our maximum exposure to loss is equal to our legally binding equity commitments adjusted for recorded impairment, partnership results or amortization for qualifying LIHTC investments when applicable. For all legally binding unfunded equity commitments, we increase our recognized investment and recognize a liability. As of December 31, 2025, we had a liability for unfunded commitments of $3.0 billion related to investments in qualified affordable housing projects which is reflected in Other liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Table 58 also includes our involvement in lease financing transactions with LLCs engaged in solar power generation that, to a large extent, provided returns in the form of tax credits. The outstanding financings and operating lease assets are reflected as Loans and Other assets, respectively, on our Consolidated Balance Sheet, whereas related liabilities are reported in Deposits and Other liabilities.

We also make certain equity investments in various tax credit limited partnerships or LLCs. The purpose of these investments is to achieve a satisfactory return on capital and to assist us in achieving goals associated with the CRA. During 2025, we recognized $0.6 billion of amortization, $0.6 billion of tax credits and $0.1 billion of other tax benefits associated with qualified investments in LIHTCs and NMTCs within Income taxes. We recognized $0.5 billion of amortization, $0.5 billion of tax credits and $0.1 billion of other tax benefits associated with qualified investments in LIHTCs and NMTCs within Income taxes in 2024. Comparable amounts for 2023 were $0.4 billion, $0.4 billion and less than $0.1 billion, respectively.

We review goodwill in each of our reporting units for impairment at least annually, in the fourth quarter, or more frequently if events occur or circumstances have changed significantly from the annual test date. Based on the results of our analysis, there were no impairment charges related to goodwill in 2025, 2024 or 2023. See Note 1 Accounting Policies for additional information regarding the goodwill impairment test.

**<u>Mortgage Servicing Rights</u>**

We recognize the right to service mortgage loans for others as an intangible asset when the benefits of servicing are expected to be more than adequate compensation to a servicer for performing the servicing. MSRs are recognized either when purchased or when originated loans are sold with servicing retained. MSRs totaled $3.7 billion at both December 31, 2025 and 2024, and consisted of loan servicing contracts for commercial and residential mortgages measured at fair value.

**Commercial Mortgage Servicing Rights**

We recognize gains or losses on changes in the fair value of commercial MSRs. Commercial MSRs are subject to changes 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 commercial MSRs with securities, derivative instruments and resale agreements which are expected to increase (or decrease) in value when the value of commercial MSRs decreases (or increases).

The fair value of commercial MSRs is estimated by using a discounted cash flow model incorporating inputs for assumptions as to constant prepayment rates, discount rates and other factors determined based on current market conditions and expectations.

Changes in the commercial MSRs follow:

***Table 60: Commercial Mortgage Servicing Rights***

---

(a)Represents decrease in MSR value due to passage of time, which includes the impact from regularly scheduled loan principal payments, prepayments and loans that were paid off during the period.

(b)Includes MSR value changes resulting from changes in interest rates and other market-driven conditions.

**Residential Mortgage Servicing Rights**

We recognize gains or losses on changes in the fair value of residential MSRs. Residential MSRs are subject to changes 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 residential MSRs with securities and derivative instruments that are expected to increase (or decrease) in value when the value of residential MSRs decreases (or increases).

The fair value of residential MSRs is estimated by using a discounted cash flow valuation model that calculates the present value of estimated future net servicing cash flows, taking into consideration actual and expected mortgage loan prepayment rates, discount rates, servicing costs and other factors that are determined based on current market conditions.

(a)Represents decrease in MSR value due to passage of time, which includes the impact from regularly scheduled loan principal payments, prepayments and loans that were paid off during the period.

(b)Includes MSR value changes resulting from changes in interest rates and other market-driven conditions.

**Sensitivity Analysis**

The fair value of commercial and residential MSRs and significant inputs to the valuation models as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 are shown in Tables 62 and 63. 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 also presented in Tables 62 and 63. 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.

The following tables set forth the fair value of commercial and residential MSRs and the sensitivity analysis of the hypothetical effect on the fair value of MSRs to immediate adverse changes of 10% and 20% in those assumptions:

Fees from mortgage loan servicing, which include contractually specified servicing fees, late fees and ancillary fees, were $0.7 billion for 2025, 2024 and 2023. 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 Residential and commercial mortgage.

**<u>Junior Subordinated Debentures</u>**

PNC Capital Trust C, a wholly-owned finance subsidiary of The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc., owns junior subordinated debentures issued by PNC with a carrying value of $206 million. In June 1998, PNC Capital Trust C issued $200 million of trust preferred securities. The trust preferred securities are currently redeemable by PNC Capital Trust C at par. In accordance with GAAP, the financial statements of the Trust are not included in our consolidated financial statements.

The obligations of The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc., as the parent of the Trust, when taken collectively, are the equivalent of a full and unconditional guarantee of the obligations of the Trust under the terms of the trust preferred securities. Such guarantee is subordinate in right of payment in the same manner as other junior subordinated debt. There are certain restrictions on our overall ability to obtain funds from our subsidiaries. For additional disclosure on these funding restrictions, see Note 19 Regulatory Matters.

We are subject to certain restrictions, including restrictions on dividend payments, in connection with the outstanding junior subordinated debentures. Generally, if (i) there is an event of default under the debentures, (ii) we elect to defer interest on the debentures, (iii) we exercise our right to defer payments on the related trust preferred securities, or (iv) there is a default under our guarantee of such payment obligations, subject to certain limited exceptions, we would be unable during the period of such default or deferral to make payments on our debt securities that rank equal or junior to the debentures as well as to make payments on our equity securities, including dividend payments.

**<u>Commitments to Extend Credit</u>**

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.

**<u>Net Outstanding Standby Letters of Credit</u>**

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 at December 31, 2025, 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 December 31, 2025 had terms ranging from less than one year to 11 years.

As of December 31, 2025, assets of $1.1 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 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 $0.2 billion at December 31, 2025 and is included in Other liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheet.

**NOTE 14 FAIR VALUE**

**<u>Fair Value Measurement</u>**

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 and is 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. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Level 1:** Fair value is determined using a quoted price in an active market for identical assets or liabilities. Level 1 assets and liabilities may include debt securities, equity securities and listed derivative contracts that are traded in an active exchange market, and certain U.S. Treasury securities that are actively traded in over-the-counter markets.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Level 2:** Fair value is estimated using inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for assets or liabilities, either directly or indirectly. The majority of Level 2 assets and liabilities include debt securities and listed derivative contracts with quoted prices that are traded in markets that are not active, and certain debt and equity securities and over-the-counter derivative contracts whose fair value is determined using a pricing model without significant unobservable inputs.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Level 3:** Fair value is estimated using unobservable inputs that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models and discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques for which the significant valuation inputs are not observable and the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.

We characterize active markets as those where transaction volumes are sufficient to provide objective pricing information, with reasonably narrow bid/ask spreads, and where dealer quotes received do not vary widely and are based on current information. Inactive markets are typically characterized by low transaction volumes, price quotations that vary substantially among market participants or are not based on current information, wide bid/ask spreads, a significant increase in implied liquidity risk premiums, yields, or performance indicators for observed transactions or quoted prices compared to historical periods, a significant decline or absence of a market for new issuance, or any combination of the above factors. We also consider nonperformance risks, including credit risk, as part of our valuation methodology for all assets and liabilities measured at fair value.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value, by their nature, result in a higher degree of financial statement volatility. Assets and liabilities classified within Level 3 inherently require the use of various assumptions, estimates and judgments when measuring their fair value. As observable market activity is commonly not available to use when estimating the fair value of Level 3 assets and liabilities, we must estimate fair value using various modeling techniques. These techniques include the use of a variety of inputs/

The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. – *2025 Form 10-K* **135**

------

assumptions including credit quality, liquidity, interest rates or other relevant inputs across the entire population of our Level 3 assets and liabilities. Changes in the significant underlying factors or assumptions (either an increase or a decrease) in any of these areas underlying our estimates may have resulted in a significant increase/decrease in the Level 3 fair value measurement of a particular asset and/or liability from period to period.

Any models used to determine fair values or to validate dealer quotes are subject to review and independent testing as part of our model validation and internal control testing processes. Our Model Risk Management Group reviews significant models on at least an annual basis. In addition, the Valuation Committee approves valuation methodologies and reviews the results of independent valuation reviews and processes for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

**<u>Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis</u>**

**Residential Mortgage Loans Held for Sale**

We account for certain residential mortgage loans originated for sale at fair value on a recurring basis. The election of the fair value option aligns the accounting for the residential mortgages with the related hedges. Residential mortgage loans are valued based on quoted market prices, where available, prices for other traded mortgage loans with similar characteristics, and purchase commitments and bid information received from market participants. The prices are adjusted as necessary to include the embedded servicing value in the loans and to take into consideration the specific characteristics of certain loans that are priced based on the pricing of similar loans. These adjustments represent unobservable inputs to the valuation but are not considered significant given the relative insensitivity of the value to changes in these inputs to the fair value of the loans. Accordingly, the majority of residential mortgage loans held for sale are classified as Level 2.

**Commercial Mortgage Loans Held for Sale**

We account for certain commercial mortgage loans classified as held for sale in whole loan transactions at fair value. We determine the fair value of commercial mortgage loans held for sale based upon discounted cash flows. Fair value is determined using sale valuation assumptions that management believes a market participant would use in pricing the loans.

For loans to be sold to agencies with servicing retained, the fair value is adjusted for the estimated servicing cash flows, which is an unobservable input. This adjustment is not considered significant given the relative insensitivity of the value to changes in the input to the fair value of the loans. Accordingly, commercial mortgage loans held for sale to agencies are classified as Level 2.

Valuation assumptions may include observable inputs based on the benchmark interest rate swap curve, whole loan sales and agency sales transactions. The significant unobservable input for commercial mortgage loans held for sale, excluding those to be sold to agencies, is management's assumption of the spread applied to the benchmark rate. The spread over the benchmark curve includes management's assumptions of the impact of credit and liquidity risk. Significant increases (decreases) in the spread applied to the benchmark would have resulted in a significantly lower (higher) asset value. The wide range of the spread over the benchmark curve is due to the varying risk and underlying property characteristics within our portfolio. Based on the significance of the unobservable input, we classified this portfolio as Level 3.

**Securities Available-for-Sale and Trading Securities**

Securities accounted for at fair value include both the available-for-sale and trading portfolios. We primarily use prices obtained from pricing services, dealer quotes or recent trades to determine the fair value of securities. The majority of securities were priced by third-party vendors. The third-party vendors use a variety of methods when pricing securities that incorporate relevant market data to arrive at an estimate of what a buyer in the marketplace would pay for a security under current market conditions. We monitor and validate the reliability of vendor pricing on an ongoing basis through pricing methodology reviews, including detailed reviews of the assumptions and inputs used by the vendor to price individual securities, and through price validation testing. Securities not priced by one of our pricing vendors may be valued using a dealer quote, which are also subject to price validation testing. Price validation testing is performed independent of the risk-taking function and involves corroborating the prices received from third-party vendors and dealers with prices from another third party or through other sources, such as internal valuations or sales of similar securities. Security prices are also validated through actual cash settlement upon sale of a security.

Securities are classified within the fair value hierarchy after considering the activity level in the market for the security type and the observability of the inputs used to determine the fair value. When a quoted price in an active market exists for the identical security, this price is used to determine fair value and the security is classified within Level 1 of the hierarchy. Level 1 securities include U.S. Treasury securities.

When a quoted price in an active market for the identical security is not available, fair value is estimated using either an alternative market approach, such as a recent trade or matrix pricing, or an income approach, such as a discounted cash flow pricing model. If the inputs to the valuation are based primarily on market observable information, then the security is classified within Level 2 of the hierarchy. Level 2 securities include agency debt securities, agency residential mortgage-backed securities, agency and non-agency commercial mortgage-backed securities, certain non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities

**136**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. – *2025 Form 10-K*

------

collateralized by non-mortgage-related corporate and consumer loans, and other debt securities. Level 2 securities are predominantly priced by third parties, either by a pricing vendor or dealer.

In certain cases where there is limited activity or less transparency around the inputs to the valuation, securities are classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy. Securities classified as Level 3 consist primarily of non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities. Fair value for these securities is primarily estimated using pricing obtained from third-party vendors. In some cases, fair value is estimated using a dealer quote. Market activity for these securities is limited with little price transparency. As a result, they are generally valued by the third-party vendor using a discounted cash flow approach that incorporates significant unobservable inputs and observable market activity where available. Significant inputs to the valuation include prepayment projections and credit loss assumptions (default rate and loss severity) and discount rates that are deemed representative of current market conditions. Significant increases (decreases) in any of those assumptions in isolation would have resulted in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement.

Certain other debt securities available-for-sale are also classified as Level 3 and are included in the Insignificant Level 3 assets, net of liabilities line item in Table 85. These securities include certain non-agency commercial mortgage-backed, asset-backed, and other debt securities with higher levels of credit and/or liquidity risk and limited to no market trading activity. Fair value for these securities is primarily estimated using pricing obtained from third-party vendors, dealer quotes, or by using an internal valuation approach. The significant unobservable inputs used to estimate the fair value of these securities includes an estimate of expected credit losses and a discount for liquidity risk. Significant increases (decreases) in credit and/or liquidity risk could have resulted in a significantly lower (higher) fair value estimate.

**Loans**

Loans accounted for at fair value consist primarily of residential mortgage loans. These loans are generally valued similarly to residential mortgage loans held for sale and are classified as Level 2. However, similar to residential mortgage loans held for sale, if these loans are repurchased and unsalable, they are classified as Level 3. In addition, repurchased VA loans, where only a portion of the principal will be reimbursed, are classified as Level 3. The fair value is determined using a discounted cash flow calculation based on our historical loss rate. We have elected to account for certain home equity lines of credit at fair value. These loans are classified as Level 3. Significant inputs to the valuation of these loans include credit and liquidity discount, cumulative default rate, loss severity and gross discount rate and are deemed representative of current market conditions. Significant increases (decreases) in any of these assumptions would have resulted in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement.

**Equity Investments**

Equity investments includes money market mutual funds as well as direct and indirect private equity investments. Money market mutual funds are valued based on quoted prices in active markets for identical securities and classified within Level 1 of the hierarchy. The valuation of direct and indirect private equity investments requires significant management judgment due to the absence of quoted market prices, inherent lack of liquidity and the long-term nature of such investments. Various valuation techniques are used for direct investments, including multiples of adjusted earnings of the entity, independent appraisals, anticipated financing and sale transactions with third parties, or the pricing used to value the entity in a recent financing transaction. A multiple of adjusted earnings calculation is the valuation technique utilized most frequently and is the most significant unobservable input used in such calculation. Significant decreases (increases) in the multiple of earnings could have resulted in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. Generally, direct equity investments are classified as Level 3.

Indirect investments are not redeemable; however, we receive distributions over the life of the partnerships from liquidation of the underlying investments by the investee, which we expect to occur over the next 12 years. We value indirect investments in private equity funds using the NAV practical expedient as provided in the financial statements that we receive from fund managers. Due to the time lag in our receipt of the financial information and based on a review of investments and valuation techniques applied, adjustments to the manager-provided value are made when available recent portfolio company information or market information indicates a significant change in value from that provided by the manager of the fund. Indirect investments valued using NAV are not classified in the fair value hierarchy.

**Mortgage Servicing Rights (MSRs)**

MSRs are carried at fair value on a recurring basis. Assumptions incorporated into the MSRs valuation model reflect management's best estimate of factors that a market participant would use in valuing the MSRs. Although sales of MSRs do occur and can offer some market insight, MSRs do not trade in an active, open market with readily observable prices so the precise terms and conditions of sales are not available.

<u>Residential MSRs</u>

The fair value of residential MSRs is estimated by using a discounted cash flow model incorporating unobservable inputs for assumptions such as constant prepayment rates, spread over the benchmark curve, and other factors. Due to the nature of the unobservable valuation inputs, residential MSRs are classified as Level 3. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of residential MSRs are constant prepayment rates and spread over the benchmark curve. Significant increases

The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. – *2025 Form 10-K* **137**

------

(decreases) in prepayment rates and spread over the benchmark curve would have resulted in lower (higher) fair market value of residential MSRs.

As a benchmark for the reasonableness of our residential MSRs fair value, we obtained opinions of value from independent brokers. These brokers provided a range (+/-10 bps) based upon their own discounted cash flow calculations of our portfolio that reflect conditions in the secondary market and any recently executed servicing transactions. We compare our internally-developed residential MSRs value to the ranges of values received from the brokers. If our residential MSRs fair value falls outside of the brokers' ranges, management will assess whether a valuation adjustment is warranted. For the periods presented, our residential MSRs value did not fall outside of the brokers' ranges.

<u>Commercial MSRs</u>

The fair value of commercial MSRs is estimated by using a discounted cash flow model incorporating unobservable inputs for assumptions such as constant prepayment rates, discount rates and other factors. Due to the nature of the unobservable valuation inputs and the limited availability of market pricing, commercial MSRs are classified as Level 3. Significant increases (decreases) in constant prepayment rates and discount rates would have resulted in significantly lower (higher) commercial MSR value determined based on current market conditions and expectations.

**Financial Derivatives**

Exchange-traded derivatives are valued using quoted market prices and are classified as Level 1. The majority of derivatives that we enter into are executed over-the-counter and are valued using internal models. These derivatives are primarily classified as Level 2, as the readily observable market inputs to these models are validated to external sources, such as industry pricing services, or are corroborated through recent trades, dealer quotes, yield curves, implied volatility or other market-related data. Level 2 financial derivatives are primarily estimated using observable benchmark interest rate swaps to construct projected discounted cash flows.

Financial derivatives that are priced using significant management judgment or assumptions are classified as Level 3. Unobservable inputs related to interest rate contracts include probability of funding of residential mortgage loan commitments and estimated servicing cash flows of commercial and residential mortgage loan commitments. Probability of default and loss severity are the significant unobservable inputs used in the valuation of risk participation agreements. The fair values of Level 3 assets and liabilities related to these interest rate contract financial derivatives as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 are included in the Insignificant Level 3 assets, net of liabilities line item in Table 85 of this Note 14.

In connection with the sales of portions of our Visa Class B common shares, we entered into swap agreements with the purchasers of those shares to retain any future risk of decreases in the conversion rate of Class B common shares to Class A common shares resulting from increases in the escrow funded by Visa to pay for the costs of resolution of the pending interchange litigation (see Note 20 Legal Proceedings). These swaps also require PNC to make periodic payments based on the market price of the Class A common shares at a fixed rate of interest (in certain cases subject to step-up provisions) until the Visa litigation is resolved. An increase in the estimated length of litigation resolution date, a decrease in the estimated conversion rate or an increase in the estimated growth rate of the Class A share price would have had a negative impact on the fair value of the swaps and vice versa. In the second quarter of 2024, PNC participated in the Visa exchange program, allowing PNC to monetize approximately 50% of its Visa Class B-1 shares. Accordingly, our underlying swap exposure decreased in 2024 as a result of this transaction.

The fair values of our derivatives include a credit and funding valuation adjustment to reflect our own and our counterparties' nonperformance risk. Our credit valuation adjustment is computed using credit default swap spreads, in conjunction with internal historical recovery observations.

**Other Assets and Liabilities**

Other assets held at fair value on a recurring basis primarily include assets related to PNC's deferred compensation and supplemental incentive savings plans.

The assets related to PNC's deferred compensation and supplemental incentive savings plans primarily consist of a prepaid forward contract referencing an amount of shares of PNC stock, equity mutual funds and fixed income funds, and are valued based on the underlying investments. These assets are valued either by reference to the market price of PNC's stock or by using the quoted market prices for investments other than PNC's stock and are included in Levels 1 and 2.

All Level 3 other assets and liabilities are included in the Insignificant Level 3 assets, net of liabilities line item in Table 85 in this Note 14.

**Interest-bearing Deposits** 

In the first quarter of 2025, PNC elected to begin accounting for certain brokered time deposits, which are economically hedged with derivatives, under the fair value option. The election of the fair value option aligns the accounting for the brokered time deposits with the related hedges. Fair value is estimated by discounting contractual cash flows using current market rates for instruments with similar maturities. The portion of the change in fair value resulting from a change in the specified benchmark interest rate is

recognized in the Consolidated Income Statement within Deposits interest expense. The remaining change in fair value is attributable to instrument-specific credit risk and is recognized in OCI. Brokered time deposits are classified as Level 2, as the estimates of current market rates used to determine fair value are based on dealer indications and benchmark interest rates that are considered observable.

**Other Borrowed Funds**

Other borrowed funds primarily consist of U.S. Treasury securities sold short which are classified as Level 1. Other borrowed funds also includes the related liability for certain repurchased loans for which we have elected the fair value option and are classified as either Level 2 or Level 3, consistent with the level classification of the corresponding loans. All Level 3 amounts are included in the Insignificant Level 3 assets, net of liabilities line item in Table 85 in this Note 14.

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:

(b)The difference in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in Other comprehensive income and changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in Other comprehensive income for securities available-for-sale held at the end of the reporting period were insignificant.

(c)The amount of the total gains or losses for the period included in earnings that is attributable to the change in unrealized gains or losses related to those assets and liabilities held at the end of the reporting period.

(d)Residential mortgage loan transfers out of Level 3 are primarily driven by residential mortgage loans transferring to OREO as well as reclassification of mortgage loans held for sale to held for investment.

(e)Net gains (losses) realized and unrealized included in earnings related to Level 3 assets and liabilities included amortization and accretion. The amortization and accretion amounts were included in Interest income on the Consolidated Income Statement and the remaining net gains (losses) realized and unrealized were included in Noninterest income on the Consolidated Income Statement.

(f)Net unrealized gains (losses) related to assets and liabilities held at the end of the reporting period were included in Noninterest income on the Consolidated Income Statement.

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.

(a)Unobservable inputs were weighted by the relative fair value of the instruments.

(b)The assumed yield spread over the benchmark curve for each instrument is generally intended to incorporate non-interest rate risks, such as credit and liquidity risks.

(c)Consensus pricing refers to fair value estimates that are generally internally developed using information such as dealer quotes or other third-party provided valuations or comparable asset prices.

(d)Represents the aggregate amount of Level 3 assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis that are individually and in the aggregate insignificant. The amount includes certain financial derivative assets and liabilities, certain debt securities available-for-sale, government insured residential reals estate loans, home equity loans, commercial mortgage loans held for sale, other assets, other borrowed funds and other liabilities.

(e)Consisted of total Level 3 assets of $7.7 billion and total Level 3 liabilities of $0.2 billion as of December 31, 2025 and $7.4 billion and $0.3 billion as of December 31, 2024, respectively.

**<u>Financial Assets Accounted for at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis</u>**

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 86.

**Nonaccrual Loans**

The carrying value of nonaccrual loans represents the fair value of those loans which have been adjusted due to impairment. The impairment is primarily based on the appraised value of the collateral.

Refer to Note 1 Accounting Policies for information on how we obtain appraisal values.

**142**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. – *2025 Form 10-K*

------

**Equity Investments** 

The majority of the amounts for equity investments represent the carrying value of LIHTC investments held for sale calculated using a discounted cash flow model. The significant unobservable input is management's estimate of required market rate of return. The market rate of return is based on comparison to recent LIHTC sales in the market. Significant increases (decreases) in this input would result in a significantly lower (higher) carrying value of the investments.

**OREO and Foreclosed Assets**

The carrying value of OREO and foreclosed assets includes valuation adjustments recorded subsequent to the transfer to OREO and foreclosed assets. These valuation adjustments are based on the fair value less cost to sell of the property. Fair value is based on appraised value or sales price. Refer to Note 1 Accounting Policies for information on how we obtain appraisal values.

**Long-Lived Assets**

Long-lived assets consists of buildings for which valuation adjustments were recorded during the period. A facility classified as held for use is impaired to the extent its carrying value is not recoverable and exceeds fair value. Valuation adjustments on buildings held for sale are based on the fair value of the property less an estimated cost to sell and are recorded subsequent to the transfer of the asset to held for sale status. Fair value is determined either by a third-party appraisal, recent sales offer, changes in market or property conditions or, where we have agreed to sell the building to a third party, the contractual sales price. Impairment on these long-lived assets is recorded in Other noninterest expense on our Consolidated Income Statement.

Assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis are as follows:

**<u>Financial Instruments Accounted for under Fair Value Option</u>**

We elect the fair value option to account for certain financial instruments. For more information on these financial instruments for which the fair value option election has been made, refer to the Fair Value Measurement section of this Note 14. These financial instruments are initially measured at fair value. Gains and losses from initial measurement and any changes in fair value are subsequently recognized in earnings. For brokered time deposits, however, any changes in fair value attributable to instrument-specific credit risk are recognized in OCI.

Interest income related to changes in the fair values of these financial instruments is recorded on the Consolidated Income Statement in Other interest income, except for certain residential mortgage loans, for which income is also recorded in Loans interest income. Changes in the value on prepaid forward contracts included in Other assets is reported in Noninterest expense, and interest expense on the Other borrowed funds is reported in Borrowed funds interest expense. Fair value gains and losses recognized in earnings on brokered time deposits are reported in Deposits interest expense, consistent with the classification of contractual interest on these deposits.

We have excluded accrued interest from the fair value amounts reported in Table 87. We have excluded interest income and interest expense from the changes in fair value reported in Table 88.

**<u>Additional Fair Value Information Related to Financial Instruments Not Recorded at Fair Value</u>**

This section presents fair value information for all other financial instruments that are not carried at fair value on a recurring basis. We used the following methods and assumptions to estimate the fair value amounts for these financial instruments.

**Cash and Due from Banks and Interest-earning Deposits with Banks**

Due to their short-term nature, the carrying amounts for Cash and due from banks and Interest-earning deposits with banks reported on our Consolidated Balance Sheet approximate fair value.

**Securities Held-to-Maturity**

We primarily use prices obtained from pricing services, dealer quotes or recent trades to determine the fair value of securities. Refer to the Fair Value Measurement section of this Note 14 for additional information relating to our pricing processes and procedures.

**144**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. – *2025 Form 10-K*

------

**Net Loans**

Fair values are estimated based on the discounted value of expected net cash flows incorporating assumptions about prepayment rates, net credit losses and servicing fees. Nonaccrual loans are valued at their estimated recovery value. The carrying value of Net loans are presented net of the ALLL.

**Other Assets**

The carrying value of Other assets, which include accrued interest receivable, cash collateral, federal funds sold and resale agreements, certain loans held for sale, and FHLB and FRB stock, approximates fair value. The aggregate carrying value of our FHLB and FRB stock was $1.7 billion and $2.1 billion at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

**Deposits**

For time deposits, fair values are estimated by discounting contractual cash flows using current market rates for instruments with similar maturities.

**Borrowed Funds**

For short-term borrowed funds, including repurchase agreements and certain other short-term borrowings and payables, carrying value approximates fair value. For long-term borrowed funds, quoted market prices are used, when available, to estimate fair value. When quoted market prices are not available, a discounted cash flow valuation is used which incorporates current market rates and credit spreads for debt with similar terms and maturities.

**Unfunded Lending Related Commitments** 

The fair value of unfunded lending related commitments is determined by market participant assumptions and takes into consideration the impact of changes in interest rates and credit. We establish a liability on these facilities based on the creditworthiness of our counterparty.

**Other Liabilities**

Other liabilities includes interest-bearing cash collateral held related to derivatives and other accrued liabilities. Due to its short-term nature, the carrying value of Other liabilities reported on our Consolidated Balance Sheet approximates fair value.

**NOTE 15 FINANCIAL DERIVATIVES**

We use a variety of financial derivatives to both mitigate exposure to market (primarily interest rate) and credit risks inherent in our business activities, as well as to facilitate customer risk management activities. We manage these risks as part of our overall asset and liability management process and through our credit policies and procedures. 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.

Derivative transactions are often measured in terms of notional amount, but this amount is generally not exchanged and it is not recorded on the balance sheet. The notional amount is the basis to which the underlying is applied to determine required payments under the derivative contract. The underlying is a referenced interest rate, security price, credit spread or other index. Residential and commercial real estate loan commitments associated with loans to be sold also qualify as derivative instruments.

The following table presents the notional and gross fair value amounts of all derivative assets and liabilities held by us:

All derivatives are carried on our Consolidated Balance Sheet at fair value. Derivative balances are presented on the Consolidated Balance Sheet on a net basis taking into consideration the effects of legally enforceable master netting agreements and, when appropriate, any related cash collateral exchanged with counterparties. Further discussion regarding the offsetting rights associated with these legally enforceable master netting agreements is included in the Offsetting and Counterparty Credit Risk section of this Note 15. Any nonperformance risk, including credit risk, is included in the determination of the estimated net fair value of the derivatives. Further discussion on how derivatives are accounted for is included in Note 1 Accounting Policies.

**<u>Derivatives Designated as Hedging Instruments</u>**

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. 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 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 funding 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 and interest rate caps and floors 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 hedging instruments 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 December 31, 2025, we expect to reclassify net derivative gains of $36 million pre-tax, or $28 million after-tax, from AOCI to interest income for these 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 December 31, 2025. As of December 31, 2025, 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

Net gains (losses) on net investment hedge derivatives recognized in OCI were $(101) million, $24 million and $(53) million in 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

**<u>Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments</u>**

Residential mortgage loans that will be sold in the secondary market, and the related loan commitments, which are considered derivatives, are accounted for at fair value. Changes in the fair value of the loans and commitments due to interest rate risk are hedged with forward contracts to sell mortgage-backed securities, as well as U.S. Treasury and Eurodollar futures and options. Gains and losses on the loans and commitments held for sale and the derivatives used to economically hedge them are included in Residential and commercial mortgage noninterest income on the Consolidated Income Statement.

Residential mortgage servicing rights are accounted for at fair value with changes in fair value influenced primarily by changes in interest rates. Derivatives used to hedge the fair value of residential mortgage servicing rights include interest rate futures, swaps, options and forward contracts to purchase mortgage-backed securities. Gains and losses on residential mortgage servicing rights and the related derivatives used for hedging are included in Residential and commercial mortgage noninterest income.

Commercial mortgage loans held for sale and the related loan commitments, which are considered derivatives, are accounted for at fair value. Derivatives used to economically hedge these loans and commitments from changes in fair value due to interest rate risk include forward loan sale contracts and interest rate swaps. Gains and losses on the commitments, loans and derivatives are included in Residential and commercial mortgage noninterest income. Derivatives used to economically hedge the change in value of commercial mortgage servicing rights include interest rate futures, swaps and options. Gains or losses on these derivatives are included in Residential and commercial mortgage noninterest income.

The residential and commercial mortgage loan commitments associated with loans to be sold which are accounted for as derivatives are valued based on the estimated fair value of the underlying loan and the probability that the loan will fund within the terms of the commitment. The fair value also takes into account the fair value of the embedded servicing right.

We offer derivatives to our customers in connection with their risk management needs. These derivatives primarily consist of interest rate swaps, interest rate caps and floors, swaptions, foreign exchange contracts and commodity swaps. We primarily manage our market risk exposure from customer transactions by entering into a variety of hedging transactions with third-party dealers. Gains and losses on customer-related derivatives are included in Capital markets and advisory noninterest income.

Included in the customer, mortgage banking risk management, and other risk management portfolios are written interest-rate caps and floors entered into with customers and for risk management purposes. We receive an upfront premium from the counterparty and are obligated to make payments to the counterparty if the underlying market interest rate rises above or falls below a certain level designated in the contract. Our ultimate obligation under written options is based on future market conditions.

Additionally, the other risk management portfolio includes interest rate swaps that are used to economically hedge interest-rate risk associated with interest-bearing brokered time deposits accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis. Gains or losses on these derivatives are included in Deposits interest expense on our Consolidated Income Statement.

We have entered into risk participation agreements to share some of the credit exposure with other counterparties related to interest rate derivative contracts or to take on credit exposure to generate revenue. The following table presents the notional amount of risk participation agreements sold and maximum potential exposures at December 31, 2025 and 2024.

**<u>Offsetting and Counterparty Credit Risk</u>**

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. Collateral is typically exchanged daily on unsettled positions based on the net fair value of the positions with the counterparty as of the preceding day. Collateral representing initial margin, which is based on potential future exposure, may also be required to be exchanged. In certain cases, minimum thresholds must be exceeded before any collateral is exchanged. Any cash collateral exchanged with counterparties under these master netting agreements is also netted, when appropriate, against the applicable derivative fair values on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. However, the fair value of any securities held or pledged is not included in the net presentation on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. In order for derivative instruments under a master netting agreement to be eligible for closeout netting under GAAP, we must conduct sufficient legal review to conclude with a well-founded basis that the offsetting rights included in the master netting agreement would be legally enforceable upon an event of default, including upon an event of bankruptcy, insolvency, or a similar proceeding of the counterparty. Enforceability is evidenced by a legal opinion that supports, with sufficient confidence, the enforceability of the master netting agreement in such circumstances.

Table 95 shows the impact legally enforceable master netting agreements had on our derivative assets and derivative liabilities at December 31, 2025 and 2024. 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 95 includes OTC derivatives not settled through an exchange ("OTC derivatives") and OTC derivatives cleared through a central clearing house ("OTC cleared derivatives"). OTC derivatives represent contracts executed bilaterally with counterparties that are not settled through an organized exchange or directly cleared through a central clearing house. The majority of OTC derivatives are governed by the 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 that 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 December 31, 2025, cash and debt securities (primarily agency mortgage-backed securities) totaling $1.6 billion were pledged to us under master netting agreements and other collateral agreements to collateralize net derivative assets due from counterparties and to meet initial margin requirements, and we pledged cash and debt securities (primarily agency mortgage-backed securities) totaling $1.6 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 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 pledged to us by counterparties are not recognized on our balance sheet. Likewise, securities we have pledged to counterparties remain on our balance sheet.

**<u>Credit-Risk Contingent Features</u>**

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 following table presents the aggregate fair value of derivative

instruments with credit-risk-related contingent features, the associated collateral posted in the normal course of business and the maximum amount of collateral we would be required to post if the credit-risk-related contingent features underlying these agreements had been triggered on December 31, 2025 and 2024.

**<u>Pension and Postretirement Plans</u>**

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. Earnings credit percentages for those employees who were plan participants on December 31, 2009 are frozen at the level earned to that point. Earnings credits for all employees who became participants on or after January 1, 2010 are a flat 3% of eligible compensation. All participants as of December 31, 2009 earn a minimum rate on their cash balances; new participants on or after January 1, 2010 earn interest credits on their cash balances based on 30-year Treasury securities. New participants on or after January 1, 2010 are not subject to the minimum rate. The plan provides for a minimum annual earnings credit amount of $2,000, subject to eligibility criteria. Pension contributions to the plan are typically based on an actuarially determined amount necessary to fund total benefits payable to plan participants. Assets of the qualified pension plan are held in a separate Trust.

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. PNC reserves the right to terminate or make changes to these plans at any time. The nonqualified pension plan is unfunded. Contributions from PNC, and participant contributions in the case of the postretirement benefit plans, cover all benefits paid under the nonqualified pension plan and postretirement benefit plans. PNC has established a VEBA to partially fund future postretirement medical and life insurance benefit obligations.

We use a measurement date of December 31 for plan assets and benefit obligations.

**<u>PNC Pension Plan Assets</u>**

The long-term investment strategy for pension plan assets in our qualified pension plan (the Plan) is to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Meet present and future benefit obligations to all participants and beneficiaries,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Cover reasonable expenses incurred to provide such benefits, including expenses incurred in the administration of the Trust and the Plan,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Provide sufficient liquidity to meet benefit and expense payment requirements on a timely basis, and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Provide a total return that, over the long term, maximizes the ratio of trust assets to liabilities by maximizing investment return, at an appropriate level of risk.

The Plan's named investment fiduciary has the ability to make short- to intermediate-term asset allocation shifts under the dynamic asset allocation strategy based on factors such as the Plan's funded status, the named investment fiduciary's view of return on equities relative to long-term expectations, the named investment fiduciary's view on the direction of interest rates and credit spreads, and other relevant financial or economic factors which would be expected to impact the ability of the Trust to meet its obligation to participants and beneficiaries. Accordingly, the allowable asset allocation ranges have been updated to incorporate the flexibility required by the dynamic allocation policy.

The asset strategy allocations for the Plan at the end of 2025 and 2024, and the target allocation range at the end of 2025, by asset category, are as follows:

***Table 98: Asset Strategy Allocations***

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | Target Allocation Range | Percentage of Plan Assets by Strategy at December 31 | Percentage of Plan Assets by Strategy at December 31 |
| | | 2025 | 2024 |
| Asset category |  |  |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Domestic equity | 15 – 40% | 19% | 21% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;International equity | 10 – 25% | 20% | 17% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Private equity | 0 – 15% | 11% | 12% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Total equity | 30 – 70% | 50% | 50% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Domestic fixed income | 10 – 40 %  | 29% | 31% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;High-yield fixed income | 0 – 25 %  | 8% | 8% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Total fixed income | 10 – 65 %  | 37% | 39% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Real estate | 0 – 10 %  | 6% | 6% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Other | 0 – 20% | 7% | 5% |
| Total | 100% | 100% | 100% |

---

The asset category represents the allocation of Plan assets in accordance with the investment objective of each of the Plan's investment managers. Certain domestic equity investment managers utilize derivatives and fixed income securities as described in their Investment Management Agreements to achieve their investment objective under the Investment Policy Statement. Other investment managers may invest in eligible securities outside of their assigned asset category to meet their investment objectives. The actual percentage of the fair value of total Plan assets held as of December 31, 2025 for equity securities, fixed income securities, real estate and all other assets are 63%, 23%, 6% and 8%, respectively.

We believe that, over the long-term, asset allocation is the single greatest determinant of risk. Asset allocation will deviate from the target percentages due to market movement, cash flows, investment manager performance and implementation of shifts under the dynamic asset allocation policy. Material deviations from the asset allocation targets can alter the expected return and risk of the Trust. However, frequent rebalancing of the asset allocation targets may result in significant transaction costs, which can impair the Trust's ability to meet its investment objective. Accordingly, the Trust portfolio is periodically rebalanced to maintain asset allocation within the target ranges described above.

In addition to being diversified across asset classes, the Trust is diversified within each asset class. Secondary diversification provides a reasonable basis for the expectation that no single security or class of securities will have a disproportionate impact on the total risk and return of the Trust.

Where investment strategies permit the use of derivatives and/or currency management, language is incorporated in the managers' guidelines to define allowable and prohibited transactions and/or strategies. Derivatives are typically employed by investment managers to modify risk/return characteristics of their portfolio(s), implement asset allocation changes in a cost-effective manner, or reduce transaction costs. Under the managers' investment guidelines, derivatives may not be used solely for speculation or leverage. Derivatives are to be used only in circumstances where they offer the most efficient economic means of improving the risk/reward profile of the portfolio.

**<u>Fair Value Measurements</u>** 

As further described in Note 14 Fair Value, GAAP establishes the framework for measuring fair value, including a hierarchy used to classify the inputs used in measuring fair value.

A description of the valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value at both December 31, 2025 and 2024 follows:

***Table 99: Pension Plan Valuation Methodologies***

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **<u>Asset</u>** | **<u>Valuation Methodology</u>** |
| Money market funds | • Valued at the NAV of the shares held by the pension plan at year end. |
| U.S. government and agency securities<br>Corporate debt<br>Common stock | • U.S. government and agency securities - Valued at the closing price reported on the active market on which the individual securities are traded.<br>• Corporate debt - If quoted market prices are not available for the specific security, then fair values are estimated by using pricing models or quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics. Such securities are generally classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy but may be a Level 3 depending on the level of liquidity and activity in the market for the security.<br>• Common stock - Valued at the closing price reported on an active market on which the securities are traded. |
| Mutual funds | • Valued based on third-party pricing of the fund that is not actively traded. |
| Other investments<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Derivative financial instruments<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Group annuity contracts<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Preferred stock | • Derivative financial instruments - recorded at estimated fair value as determined by third-party appraisals and pricing models.<br>• Group annuity contracts - measured at fair value by discounting the related cash flows based on current yields of similar instruments with comparable durations considering the creditworthiness of the issuer.<br>• Preferred stock - valued at the closing price reported on an active market on which the securities are traded. |
| Investments measured at NAV<br>Collective trust fund investments<br>Limited partnerships | • Collective trust fund investments - valued based upon the units of such collective trust fund held by the Plan at year end multiplied by the respective unit value. The unit value of the collective trust fund is based upon significant observable inputs, although it is not based upon quoted prices in an active market. The underlying investments of the collective trust funds consist primarily of equity securities, debt obligations, short-term investments, and other marketable securities. Due to the nature of these securities, there are no unfunded commitments or redemption restrictions.<br>• Limited partnerships - valued by investment managers based on recent financial information used to estimate fair value. The unit value of limited partnerships is based upon significant observable inputs, although it is not based upon quoted marked prices in an active market. |

---

These methods may result in fair value calculations that may not be indicative of net realizable values or future fair values. Furthermore, while the pension plan believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date.

The following table sets forth by level, within the fair value hierarchy, the Plan's assets at fair value as of December 31, 2025 and 2024.

The qualified pension plan contributions are deposited into the Trust, and the qualified pension plan benefit payments are paid from the Trust. We do not expect to be required to make a contribution to the qualified plan for 2026 based on the funding calculations under the Pension Protection Act of 2006. For the nonqualified pension plan, total contributions and the benefit payments are the same and represent expected benefit amounts, which are paid from the Company's general assets. Employer contributions for postretirement benefits reflect that most of the payments will be made from the VEBA. Postretirement benefit payments are net of participant contributions.

The components of net periodic benefit cost and other amounts recognized in OCI were as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

(a)Rate disclosed is for the qualified pension plan.

(b)Rate is applicable only to the postretirement benefit plans.

The discount rates are determined independently for each plan by comparing the expected future benefits that will be paid under each plan with yields available on high quality corporate bonds of similar duration. For this analysis, 10% of bonds with the highest yields and 40% with the lowest yields were removed from the bond universe.

With all other assumptions held constant, a 0.50% decline in the discount rate would have resulted in an immaterial change in net periodic benefit cost in 2025 and to be recognized in 2026 for each of the qualified pension, nonqualified pension and postretirement benefit plans.

The expected return on plan assets is a long-term assumption established by considering historical and anticipated returns of the asset classes invested in by the pension plan and the allocation strategy currently in place among those classes. For purposes of setting and reviewing this assumption, "long-term" refers to the period over which the plan's projected benefit obligations will be disbursed. We review this assumption at each measurement date and adjust it if warranted. Our selection process references certain historical data and the current environment, but primarily utilizes qualitative judgment regarding future return expectations. We also examine the assumption used by other companies with similar pension investment strategies. Taking into account all of these factors, the expected long-term return on plan assets for determining net periodic pension cost for 2025 was 6.10%. We are decreasing our expected long-term return on assets to 5.75% for determining pension cost for 2026. This decision was made after considering the views of both

internal and external capital market advisors, particularly with regard to the effects of the recent economic environment on long-term prospective equity and fixed income returns.

**<u>Defined Contribution Plans</u>**

The ISP is a qualified defined contribution plan that covers all of our eligible employees. Newly-hired full time employees and part-time employees who are eligible to participate in the ISP are automatically enrolled in the ISP with a deferral rate equal to 6% of eligible compensation in the absence of an affirmative election otherwise. Employee benefits expense related to the ISP was $184 million in 2025, $182 million in 2024 and $188 million in 2023, representing cash contributed to the ISP by PNC.

The ISP is a 401(k) Plan and includes a frozen employee stock ownership feature. Employee contributions are invested in a number of investment options, including pre-mixed portfolios and individual core funds, available under the ISP at the direction of the employee.

**NOTE 17 STOCK BASED COMPENSATION PLANS**

We have long-term incentive award plans (Incentive Plans) that provide for the granting of incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, performance share units, restricted share units, other share-based awards and dollar-denominated awards to executives and, other than incentive stock options, to non-employee directors. Certain Incentive Plan awards may be paid in stock, cash or a combination of stock and cash. We typically grant a substantial portion of our stock-based compensation awards during the first quarter of each year.

**<u>Performance Share Unit Awards and Restricted Share Unit Awards</u>**

PNC grants share unit awards that are based on performance, service and certain metrics tied to market conditions. The fair value of nonvested performance share unit awards and restricted share unit awards is initially determined based on prices not less than the market value of our common stock on the date of grant with a reduction for estimated forfeitures. Fair value of some performance awards are based on a Monte Carlo model, with subsequent remeasurement based on the achievement of one or more performance goals. Additionally, certain performance share unit awards could require subsequent adjustment due to certain discretionary risk review triggers.

The weighted-average grant date fair value of performance share unit awards and restricted share unit awards granted in 2025, 2024 and 2023 was $190.93, $141.75 and $154.91 per share, respectively. The total intrinsic value of performance share unit awards and restricted share unit awards vested during 2025, 2024 and 2023 was approximately $256 million, $214 million and $219 million, respectively. We recognize compensation expense for such awards ratably over the corresponding vesting and/or performance periods for each type of program.

A rollforward of the nonvested performance share unit and restricted share unit awards follows:

The majority of tax credit carryforwards expire in 2030-2045 and were insignificant at both December 31, 2025 and 2024. We anticipate that we will be able to fully utilize our tax credit carryforwards. Some state net operating loss carryforwards are from acquired entities and utilization is subject to various statutory limitations.

Retained earnings included $0.1 billion at both December 31, 2025 and 2024 in allocations for bad debt deductions of former thrift subsidiaries for which no income tax has been provided. Under current law, if certain subsidiaries use these bad debt reserves for purposes other than to absorb bad debt losses, they will be subject to Federal income tax at the current corporate tax rate.

In addition, we are under continuous examinations by various state taxing authorities. With few exceptions, we are no longer subject to state and local and foreign income tax examinations by taxing authorities for periods before 2019. For all open audits, any potential adjustments have been considered in establishing our unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2025.

Our policy is to classify interest and penalties associated with income taxes as income tax expense. For 2025 and 2024, the amount of gross interest and penalties recorded on our Consolidated Income Statement was insignificant. The amount of accrued interest and penalties recorded on our Consolidated Balance Sheet was insignificant at December 31, 2025 and $0.1 billion at December 31, 2024.

**NOTE 19 REGULATORY MATTERS** 

We are subject to the regulations of certain federal, state and foreign agencies and undergo examinations by such regulatory authorities.

The ability to undertake new business initiatives (including acquisitions), the access to and cost of funding for new business initiatives, the ability to pay dividends, the ability to repurchase shares or other capital instruments, the level of deposit insurance costs, and the level and nature of regulatory oversight depend, in large part, on a financial institution's capital strength.

Under the 2019 Tailoring Rules, PNC excludes specific AOCI items from CET1 capital and higher thresholds are used to calculate CET1 capital deductions.

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 of 2022, PNC entered a three-year transition period, and the full impact of the CECL standard was phased-in to regulatory capital through December 31, 2024. Beginning in the first quarter of 2025, CECL is fully reflected in regulatory capital.

At December 31, 2025 and 2024, PNC and PNC Bank were both considered "well capitalized," based on applicable U.S. regulatory capital ratio requirements.

The following table sets forth the Basel III regulatory capital ratios at December 31, 2025 and 2024, for PNC and PNC Bank:

(b)"Well Capitalized" is not defined at the BHC level.

(c)The regulatory minimum required CET1 ratio of 4.5% plus SCB of 2.5% for PNC is 7.0%.

(d)The regulatory minimum required leverage ratio for PNC is 4.0%.

The principal source of parent company cash flow is the dividends or other capital distributions it receives from PNC Bank, which may be impacted by the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Bank-level capital needs,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Laws, regulations and the results of supervisory activities,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Corporate policies,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Contractual restrictions, and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Other factors.

Also, there are statutory and regulatory limitations on the ability of national banks to pay dividends or make other capital distributions. The amount available for dividend payments to the parent company by PNC Bank without prior regulatory approval was $8.4 billion at December 31, 2025.

Under federal law, a bank subsidiary generally may not extend credit to, or engage in other types of covered transactions (including the purchase of assets) with, the parent company or its non-bank subsidiaries on terms and under circumstances that are not substantially the same as comparable transactions with nonaffiliates. A bank subsidiary may not extend credit to, or engage in a covered transaction with, the parent company or a non-bank subsidiary if the aggregate amount of the bank's extensions of credit and other covered transactions with the parent company or non-bank subsidiary exceeds 10% of the capital stock and surplus of such bank subsidiary or the aggregate amount of the bank's extensions of credit and other covered transactions with the parent company and all

**164**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. – *2025 Form 10-K*

------

non-bank subsidiaries exceeds 20% of the capital stock and surplus of such bank subsidiary. Such extensions of credit, with limited exceptions, must be at least fully collateralized in accordance with specified collateralization thresholds, with the thresholds varying based on the type of assets serving as collateral. In certain circumstances, federal regulatory authorities may impose more restrictive limitations.

The Federal Reserve is authorized to establish reserve requirements for certain types of deposits and other liabilities of depository institutions. Effective March 26, 2020, the reserve requirement ratios were reduced to zero. At December 31, 2025, the balance outstanding at the FRB was $32.0 billion. This amount is included in Interest-earning deposits with banks on our Consolidated Balance Sheet.

**NOTE 20 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 reasonably possible losses or ranges of reasonably 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 this Note 20). For Disclosed Matters where we are able to estimate such possible losses or ranges of possible losses, as of December 31, 2025, we estimate that it is reasonably possible that we could incur losses in excess of related accrued liabilities, if any, in an aggregate amount less than $300 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.

In our experience, legal proceedings are inherently unpredictable. One or more of the following factors frequently contribute to this inherent unpredictability: the proceeding is in its early stages; the damages sought are unspecified, unsupported or uncertain; it is unclear whether a case brought as a class action will be allowed to proceed on that basis or, if permitted to proceed as a class action, how the class will be defined; the other party is seeking relief other than or in addition to compensatory damages (including, in the case of regulatory and governmental investigations and inquiries, the possibility of fines and penalties); the matter presents meaningful legal uncertainties, including novel issues of law; we have not engaged in meaningful settlement discussions; discovery has not started or is not complete; there are significant facts in dispute; the possible outcomes may not be amenable to the use of statistical or quantitative analytical tools; predicting possible outcomes depends on making assumptions about future decisions of courts or regulatory bodies or the behavior of other parties; and there are a large number of parties named as defendants (including where it is uncertain how damages or liability, if any, will be shared among multiple defendants). Generally, the less progress that has been made in the proceedings or the broader the range of potential results, the harder it is for us to estimate losses or ranges of losses that it is reasonably possible we could incur.

As a result of these types of factors, 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 Disclosed Matters, 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 would 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.

**<u>Interchange Litigation</u>**

Beginning in June 2005, a series of antitrust lawsuits were filed against Visa<sup>®</sup>, Mastercard<sup>®</sup>, and several major financial institutions, including cases naming National City (since merged into The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc.) and its subsidiary, National City

The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. – *2025 Form 10-K* **165**

------

Bank of Kentucky (since merged into National City Bank, which, in turn, was merged into PNC Bank). The plaintiffs in these cases are merchants operating commercial businesses throughout the U.S., as well as trade associations. Some of these cases (including those naming National City entities) were brought as class actions on behalf of all persons or business entities that have accepted Visa or Mastercard. The cases have been consolidated for pre-trial proceedings in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York under the caption *In re Payment Card Interchange Fee and Merchant-Discount Antitrust Litigation* (Master File No. 1:05-md-1720- MKB-JAM).

In November 2016, the district court appointed separate interim class counsel for a proposed class seeking damages and a proposed class seeking equitable (injunctive) relief. In February 2017, each of these counsel filed a proposed amended and supplemental complaint on behalf of its respective proposed class. These complaints made similar allegations, including that the defendants conspired to monopolize and to fix the prices for general purpose card network services, that the restructuring of Visa and Mastercard, each of which included an initial public offering, violated the antitrust laws, and that the defendants otherwise imposed unreasonable restraints on trade, resulting in the payment of inflated interchange fees and other fees, which also violated the antitrust laws. In their complaints, collectively the plaintiffs seek, among other things, injunctive relief, unspecified damages (trebled under the antitrust laws) and attorneys' fees. PNC is named as a defendant in the complaint seeking damages but is not named as a defendant in the complaint that seeks equitable relief.

In September 2018, the relevant parties entered an amended definitive agreement to resolve the claims of the class seeking damages. In this amended settlement agreement, the parties agreed, among other things, to the following terms:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• An additional settlement payment from all defendants of $900 million, with Visa's share of the additional settlement payment being $600 million. The additional settlement payment will be added to the approximately $5.3 billion previously paid by the defendants pursuant to the original 2012 settlement agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Up to $700 million may be returned to the defendants (with up to $467 million to Visa) if more than 15% of class members (by payment volume) opt out of the class. As more than 15% of class members opted out of the class, $700 million has been returned to the defendants ($467 million to Visa).

The district court granted final approval of the settlement in December 2019. Several objectors appealed the district court's order granting final approval to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. In March 2023, the court of appeals affirmed the district court's approval in all material respects. Some merchants that opted out from this settlement (and from an earlier settlement that was rejected by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit) have brought lawsuits against Visa and Mastercard and one or more of the issuing banks. Resolution by Visa of claims by merchants that opted out of the settlement, including those that file lawsuits, have been or will be paid from the Visa litigation escrow account.

In July 2024, the district court determined that it had completed multi-district litigation proceedings for the opt-out cases and transferred them back to the courts in which they originated. Some of those opt-out cases are before the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. *See Target Corporation et al., v. Visa Inc. et al.*, No. 13 Civ. 3477 (AKH) (filed May 2013) and *7-Eleven, Inc. et al.*, *v. Visa Inc. et al.*, No. 13 Civ. 4443 (AKH) (filed June 2013). These complaints make allegations similar to those made in the class action complaints described above. Plaintiffs seek, among other things, injunctive relief, unspecified damages (trebled under the antitrust laws) and attorneys' fees. As of January and February 2026, all of the plaintiffs in these two actions except one have entered into settlement agreements with defendants (with dismissals to be entered upon payment); trial for the sole remaining plaintiff, Alimentation Couche-Tard (Circle K in the United States), remains scheduled for April 2026. Certain other merchants' claims are pending in other actions. PNC is not a named defendant in the complaints.

In March 2024, the parties to the class action seeking equitable relief in the proceedings in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York under the caption *In re Payment Card Interchange Fee and Merchant-Discount Antitrust Litigation* (Master File No. 1:05-md-1720-MKB-JAM) entered into an agreement for certain rule and rate changes to resolve the matter. On June 25, 2024, the district court denied preliminary approval of the settlement. In November 2025, the parties entered into an agreement, superseding the one denied by the district court, for certain rule and rate changes. They moved for preliminary approval of the agreement; that motion is pending. If preliminarily approved, the agreement must subsequently obtain the district court's final approval.

National City and National City Bank entered into judgment and loss sharing agreements with Visa and certain other banks with respect to all of the above referenced litigation. We were not originally named as defendants in any of the Visa or Mastercard related antitrust litigation nor were we initially parties to the judgment or loss sharing agreements. However, we became responsible for National City's and National City Bank's position in the litigation and responsibilities under the agreements through our acquisition of National City. In addition, following Visa's reorganization in 2007 in contemplation of its initial public offering, U.S. Visa members received shares of Class B Visa common stock, convertible upon resolution of specified litigation, including the remaining litigation described above, into shares of Class A Visa common stock, with the conversion rate adjusted to reflect amounts paid or escrowed to resolve the specified litigation, and also remained responsible for indemnifying Visa against the specified litigation. Our Class B Visa common stock is all subject to this conversion adjustment provision, and we are now responsible for the indemnification obligations of our predecessors as well as ourselves. In January 2024, Visa's stockholders approved amendments to its Certificate of Incorporation to

**166**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. – *2025 Form 10-K*

------

institute a conversion and exchange offer program that resulted in the conversion of Visa's Class B common stock to Class B-1 common stock and permitted Visa to release transfer restrictions on a portion of the redenominated Class B common stock. During the second quarter of 2024, PNC participated in this exchange program, allowing PNC to convert its Visa Class B-1 common shares into approximately equal amounts of Visa Class B-2 common shares and Visa Class C common shares. PNC then sold the Visa Class C common shares and, as required, retained the Visa Class B-2 common shares. The Visa Class B-2 common shares remain subject to the same restrictions that were imposed on the Visa Class B-1 common shares. Participation in the exchange required PNC to agree to a make-whole agreement that subjects PNC to the same indemnity obligations to Visa as prior to participation in the exchange program.

We have also entered into a Mastercard Settlement and Judgment Sharing Agreement with Mastercard and other financial institution defendants and an Omnibus Agreement Regarding Interchange Litigation Sharing and Settlement Sharing with Visa, Mastercard and other financial institution defendants. The Omnibus Agreement, in substance, apportions resolution of the claims in this litigation into a Visa portion and a Mastercard portion, with the Visa portion being two-thirds and the Mastercard portion being one-third. This apportionment only applies in the case of either a global settlement involving all defendants or an adverse judgment against the defendants, to the extent that damages either are related to the merchants' inter-network conspiracy claims or are otherwise not attributed to specific Mastercard or Visa conduct or damages. The Mastercard portion (or any Mastercard-related liability not subject to the Omnibus Agreement) will then be apportioned under the Mastercard Settlement and Judgment Sharing Agreement among Mastercard and PNC and the other financial institution defendants that are parties to this agreement. The responsibility for the Visa portion (or any Visa-related liability not subject to the Omnibus Agreement) will be apportioned under the pre-existing indemnification responsibilities and judgment and loss sharing agreements.

**<u>USAA Patent Infringement Litigation</u>**

In September 2020, USAA filed a lawsuit (*United Services Automobile Association v. PNC Bank N.A.* (Case No. 2:20-cv-319)) in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas against PNC Bank for patent infringement (the "first Texas case"). USAA amended its complaint in December 2020. As amended, the complaint alleges that PNC's mobile remote deposit capture systems infringe four patents owned by USAA. USAA seeks, among other things, a judgment that PNC is infringing each of the patents, damages for willful infringement, and attorneys' fees. PNC, in its answer, alleged that USAA infringed four of PNC's patents and that PNC seeks, among other things, a judgment that USAA is infringing each of the patents, damages for willful infringement, and attorneys' fees. In March 2022, the court severed PNC's infringement allegations from the first Texas case and in June 2022 opened a new case (*United Services Automobile Association v. PNC Bank N.A.* (Case No. 2:22-cv-193) (the "fourth Texas case")).

In December 2020, we filed a lawsuit (*PNC Bank, NA v. United Services Automobile Association* (Case No. 2:20-cv-1886)) in the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania against USAA seeking declaratory judgment of non-infringement as to two of the patents at issue in the first Texas case and awarding PNC its fees and costs. In June 2021, the court stayed and administratively closed this case pending the court in the first Texas case ruling that the case should be transferred to the Western District of Pennsylvania. In September 2021, the court in the first Texas case denied PNC's motion to transfer the case to the Western District of Pennsylvania.

In March 2021, USAA filed a second lawsuit (*United Services Automobile Association v. PNC Bank N.A*. (Case No. 2:21-cv-110)) in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas against PNC Bank for patent infringement (the "second Texas case"). The complaint alleges that PNC's mobile remote deposit capture systems infringe an additional two patents owned by USAA. USAA seeks, among other things, a judgment that PNC is infringing each of the patents, damages for willful infringement, and attorneys' fees. The first Texas case and the second Texas case were consolidated (together, the "first consolidated cases"). At trial, in May 2022, only four of the original six USAA patents raised in its complaints were asserted against PNC, including U.S. Patent No. 8,977,571 ('571). Following the jury trial in the first consolidated cases, the jury found against PNC for willful infringement of at least one of USAA's asserted patent claims and awarded approximately $218 million. Subsequently, PNC filed post-trial motions for judgment as a matter of law and for a new trial, all of which the court denied. In April 2023, PNC noticed an appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (*United Services Automobile Association v. PNC Bank N.A.* (Case No. 23-1778)) regarding the final judgment entered against PNC. On June 12, 2025, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit reversed the District Court and set aside the approximately $218 million verdict against PNC. As discussed below, on February 3, 2025, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit affirmed the Patent Trial and Appeal Board's invalidity finding regarding the claims of the '571 patent. On August 13, 2025, USAA sought rehearing of the Federal Circuit's decision. On September 16, 2025, USAA's rehearing request was denied, and on September 23, 2025, the Federal Circuit's mandate issued to the District Court. On January 14, 2026, USAA filed a petition for a writ of certiorari to the United States Supreme Court.

In July 2021, USAA filed a third lawsuit (*United Services Automobile Association v. PNC Bank N.A.* (Case No. 2:21-cv-246)) in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas against PNC Bank for patent infringement (the "third Texas case"). The complaint alleges that PNC's mobile remote deposit capture systems, including its new versions, infringe three additional patents

------

owned by USAA. USAA seeks, among other things, a judgment that PNC is infringing each of the patents, damages for willful infringement, and attorneys' fees. In June 2022, the court consolidated the fourth Texas case into the third Texas case (together, "the second consolidated cases"). At trial in September 2022, only two of the original three USAA patents were asserted against PNC, including U.S. Patent No. 10,769,598 ('598), and only two of the original four PNC patents were asserted against USAA. Following the jury trial in the second consolidated cases, the jury found against PNC for infringement of at least one of the two asserted patents and awarded $4.3 million, and determined that PNC did not willfully infringe the patents. The jury further found that USAA did not infringe any of PNC's asserted patents. Subsequently, USAA filed a motion for a new trial on damages, and, in April 2023, the court denied USAA's motion. In March 2023, PNC noticed an appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit regarding the final judgment entered against PNC and in April 2023, USAA noticed a cross-appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit regarding the final judgment. These appeals were consolidated as *United Services Automobile Association v. PNC Bank N.A.* (Case No. 23-1639). On June 12, 2025, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit reversed the District Court and set aside the $4.3 million verdict against PNC. On August 13, 2025, USAA sought rehearing of the Federal Circuit's decision. On September 16, 2025, USAA's rehearing request was denied, and on September 23, 2025, the Federal Circuit's mandate issued to the District Court. On January 14, 2026, USAA filed a petition for a writ of certiorari to the United States Supreme Court.

In August 2021, USAA filed a lawsuit (*United Services Automobile Association v. BBVA USA* (Case No. 2:21-cv-311)) in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas against BBVA USA for patent infringement (the "BBVA USA Texas case"). The complaint alleges that BBVA USA's mobile remote deposit capture systems infringe the same six USAA patents at issue in the first consolidated cases. USAA seeks, among other things, a judgment that BBVA USA is infringing each of the patents, damages for willful infringement, and attorneys' fees. In October 2021, BBVA USA was merged into PNC Bank. In June 2022, the court entered a stipulation proposed by the parties, stayed all deadlines, and administratively closed the matter.

In January 2022, the Patent Trial and Appeal Board granted institution of inter partes review ("IPR") with respect to petitions filed by PNC for three of the six patents then at issue in the first consolidated cases and in the BBVA USA Texas case. Because of USAA's case narrowing in the first consolidated cases, only one of the three patents being reviewed (U.S. Patent No. '571) was presented to the jury in the first consolidated cases. In January 2023, with respect to the three patents in which an IPR was instituted, the Patent Trial and Appeal Board entered its Final Written Decisions and found all of the challenged claims were unpatentable. With respect to U.S. Patent No. '571, in June 2023, USAA noticed an appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit challenging the Patent Trial and Appeal Board's Final Written Decision, which became *United Services Automobile Association v. PNC Bank N.A.* (Case No. 23-2125). USAA, in May and June 2023, also appealed the Final Written Decisions invalidating the claims of the patents not presented to the jury which became *United Services Automobile Association v. PNC Bank N.A.* (Case No. 23-2124) and *United Services Automobile Association v. PNC Bank N.A.* (Case No. 23-1920). Two of these appeals (Case Nos. 23-2124 and 23-2125) were consolidated. With respect to Case No. 23-1920, on January 30, 2025, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit affirmed the Patent Trial and Appeal Board's invalidity finding. With respect to Case No. 23-1920, USAA did not seek rehearing, and the mandate issued on March 10, 2025. For Case Nos. 23-2124 and 23-2125, on February 3, 2025, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit affirmed the Patent Trial and Appeal Board invalidity findings. With respect to Case Nos. 23-2124 and 23-2125, on April 4, 2025, USAA sought rehearing of the Federal Circuit's decision, which was denied on May 7, 2025, and the mandate issued on May 14, 2025. On August 5, 2025, USAA petitioned for a writ of certiorari to the United States Supreme Court (No. 25-149). On August 27, 2025, PNC filed its brief in opposition to USAA's petition. On October 6, 2025, USAA's petition for a writ of certiorari to the United States Supreme Court was denied.

In May and June 2022, the Patent Trial and Appeal Board granted institution of IPR with respect to petitions filed by PNC for two of the three patents then at issue in the third Texas case. Because of USAA's case narrowing in the third Texas case, only one of these two patents being reviewed (U.S. Patent No. '598) was presented to the jury in the third Texas case. With respect to U.S. Patent No. '598, in May 2023, the Patent Trial and Appeal Board entered its Final Written Decision holding most of the claims of this patent unpatentable and other claims were patentable. Both parties, in July 2023, appealed the Final Written Decision, with USAA appealing first (*United Services Automobile Association v. PNC Bank N.A.* (Case No. 23-2171) and PNC being the cross-appellant (*PNC Bank N.A. v. United Services Automobile Association* (Case No. 23-2172)). These appeals were consolidated. With respect to the other patent (which was not presented to the jury), the Patent Trial and Appeal Board entered its Final Written Decision in June 2023 and held all of the claims unpatentable. USAA, in August 2023, appealed from this decision which became *United Services Automobile Association v. PNC Bank N.A.* (Case No. 23-2244). With respect to Case Nos. 23-2171 and 23-2172, on January 30, 2025, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit affirmed the Patent Trial and Appeal Board's invalidity finding and reversed its validity finding, which resulted in each of the challenged claims being invalidated. With respect to Case Nos. 23-2171 and 23-2172, USAA did not seek rehearing, and the mandate issued on March 10, 2025. For Case No. 23-2244, on March 5, 2025, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit affirmed the Patent Trial and Appeal Board invalidity findings. With respect to Case No. 23-2244, USAA did not seek rehearing, and the mandate issued on April 11, 2025.

**<u>Regulatory and Governmental Inquiries</u>**

We are the subject of investigations, audits, examinations 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. From time to time, these inquiries have involved and may in the future involve or lead to regulatory enforcement actions and other administrative proceedings. These inquiries have also led to and may in the future lead to civil or criminal judicial proceedings. Some of these inquiries result in remedies including fines, penalties, restitution, or alterations in our business practices, and in additional expenses and collateral costs and other consequences. Such remedies and other consequences typically have not been material to us from a financial standpoint, but could be in the future. Even if not financially material, they may result in significant reputational harm or other adverse consequences. Our practice is to cooperate fully with regulatory and governmental investigations, audits and other inquiries.

**<u>Other</u>**

In addition to the proceedings or other matters described above, 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 22 SEGMENT REPORTING**

We have three reportable business segments: Retail Banking, Corporate & Institutional Banking and the Asset Management Group. Our reportable business segments are defined by the nature of products and services, types of customers, methods used to distribute products or provide services and similar financial performance. Results of our reportable business segments are regularly reviewed by the CODM, our Chief Executive Officer. Specifically, the CODM reviews actual and forecasted quarterly financial reporting results, including net income, to assess performance and allocate resources accordingly. However, the CODM may use other metrics on an ad hoc basis as warranted.

The following describes the products and services of each business segment:

**Retail Banking** provides deposit, lending, brokerage, insurance services, investment management and cash management products and services to consumer and small business customers who are serviced through our coast-to-coast branch network, digital channels, ATMs, or through our phone-based customer contact centers. Deposit products include checking, savings and money market accounts and time deposits. Lending products include residential mortgages, home equity loans and lines of credit, auto loans, credit cards, education loans and personal and small business loans and lines of credit. The residential mortgage loans are directly originated within our branch network and nationwide, and are typically underwritten to agency and/or third-party standards, and either sold, servicing retained or held on our balance sheet. PNC Wealth Management offers brokerage, investment management and cash management products and services which include managed, education, retirement and trust accounts.

**Corporate & Institutional Banking** provides lending, treasury management, capital markets and advisory products and services to mid-sized and large corporations and government and not-for-profit entities. Lending products include secured and unsecured loans, letters of credit and equipment leases. The Treasury Management business provides corporations with cash and investment management services, receivables and disbursement management services, funds transfer services and access to online/mobile information management and reporting services. Capital markets and advisory includes services and activities primarily related to merger and acquisitions advisory, equity capital markets advisory, asset-backed financing, loan syndication, securities underwriting and customer-related trading. We also provide commercial loan servicing and technology solutions for the commercial real estate finance industry. Products and services are provided nationally.

The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. – *2025 Form 10-K* **171**

------

**Asset Management Group** provides private banking for high net worth and ultra high net worth clients and institutional asset management. The Asset Management Group is composed of two operating units:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• PNC Private Bank provides products and services to emerging affluent, high net worth and ultra high net worth individuals and their families, including investment and retirement planning, customized investment management, credit and cash management solutions, trust management and administration. In addition, multi-generational family planning services are also provided to ultra high net worth individuals and their families, which include estate, financial, tax, fiduciary and customized performance reporting.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Institutional Asset Management provides outsourced chief investment officer, custody, cash and fixed income client solutions and retirement plan fiduciary investment services to institutional clients including corporations, healthcare systems, insurance companies, unions, municipalities and non-profits.

**<u>Basis of Presentation</u>**

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 new methodologies is made to prior period reportable business segment results and disclosures to create comparability with the current period.

<u>Funds Transfer Pricing</u>

Net interest income in business segment results reflects our internal FTP methodology, which is designed to consider interest rate and liquidity risks. Under our methodology, assets receive a funding charge while liabilities and capital receive a funding credit based on market interest rates, product characteristics and other factors.

Our FTP framework considers the application of funding curves and methodologies consistently across the balance sheet. A residual gain or loss from FTP operations is not allocated to our reportable business segments. This residual gain or loss is reviewed by management quarterly, in accordance with the interagency guidance of the FDIC, Federal Reserve and OCC.

<u>Segment Allocations</u> 

Financial results are presented, to the extent practicable, as if each business operated on a standalone basis, and includes expense allocations for corporate overhead services used by the business segments.

Certain costs are not allocated to our reportable business segments because they (i) are transitory or highly irregular in nature, (ii) exist solely to support corporate activities unrelated to business segment operations, or (iii) reflect residual costs for an exited business.

We have allocated the ALLL and the allowance for unfunded lending related commitments based on the loan exposures within each business segment's portfolio.

**NOTE 23 FEE-BASED REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS**

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). The objective of the standard is to clarify the principles for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers across all industries and to develop a common revenue standard under GAAP. The standard requires the application of a five-step recognition model to contracts, allocating the amount of consideration we expect to be entitled to across distinct promises in the contract, called performance obligations, and recognizing revenue when or as those services are transferred to the customer.

Fee-based revenue within the scope of Topic 606 is recognized within our three reportable business segments: Retail Banking, Corporate & Institutional Banking and Asset Management Group. 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 are outside of the scope of Topic 606.

Table 120 presents the noninterest income recognized within the scope of Topic 606 for each of our three reportable business segments' principal products and services, along with the relationship to the noninterest income revenue streams reported on our Consolidated Income Statement. A description of the fee-based revenue and how it is recognized for each segment's principal products and services follows this Table 120.

**MANAGEMENT'S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING**

The management of The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. and subsidiaries (PNC) is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in the Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f).

Because of inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

**184**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. – *2025 Form 10-K*

------

We performed an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and the Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of PNC's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025. This assessment was based on criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting described in *Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013)* issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this assessment, management concluded that PNC maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025.

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, the independent registered public accounting firm that audited our consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025 included in this Report, has also audited the effectiveness of PNC's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025. The report of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP is included under Item 8 of this Report.

**DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES AND CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING**

As of December 31, 2025, we performed an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chairman 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 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 and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) were effective as of December 31, 2025, and that there has been no change in PNC's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fourth quarter of 2025 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

**ITEM 9B – OTHER INFORMATION**

On February 20, 2026, William S. Demchak, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of PNC, sold 50,000 shares of common stock of PNC for financial diversification purposes. The shares represent a small portion of the approximately 548,000 shares that Mr. Demchak now holds in PNC.

 • the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law (the "PBCL").

Holders of common stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters submitted to shareholders. Holders of common stock have neither cumulative voting rights nor any preemptive rights for the purchase of additional shares of any class of our stock, and are not subject to liability for further calls or assessments. The common stock does not have any sinking fund, conversion or redemption provisions.

In the event of dissolution or winding up of our affairs, holders of common stock will be entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining after payments to all creditors and payments required to be made in respect of outstanding preferred stock (including accrued and unpaid dividends thereon) have been made.

The Board may, except as otherwise required by applicable law or the rules of the NYSE, cause the issuance of authorized shares of common stock without shareholder approval to such persons and for such consideration as the Board may determine in connection with acquisitions by us or for other corporate purposes.

Computershare Trust Company, N.A., Canton, MA, is the transfer agent and registrar for our common stock. The shares of common stock are listed on the NYSE under the symbol "PNC." The outstanding shares of common stock are validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and the holders of the common stock are not and will not be subject to any liability as shareholders.

**Dividends and Other Payments**

Holders of our common stock are only entitled to receive such dividends as the Board or a duly authorized committee thereof may declare out of funds legally available for such payments. The payment of future dividends is subject to the discretion of the Board, which will consider, among other factors, 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 dividends is also currently subject to the results of the supervisory assessment of capital adequacy and capital planning processes undertaken by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the "Federal Reserve") and our primary bank regulator as part of the Federal Reserve's Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review process. The Federal Reserve has the power to prohibit us from paying dividends without its approval.

We are incorporated in Pennsylvania and governed by the PBCL. Under the PBCL, we cannot pay dividends if, after giving effect to the dividend payments, we would be unable to pay our debts as they become due in the usual course of our business or our total assets would be less than the sum of our total liabilities plus the amount that would be needed, if we were to be dissolved at the time as of which the dividend is measured, to satisfy the preferential rights upon dissolution of shareholders whose preferential rights are superior to those receiving the dividends.

Subject to certain important exceptions, the terms of certain of our outstanding series of preferred stock and capital securities prohibit us from declaring or paying dividends or distributions on or redeeming, purchasing, acquiring or making a liquidation payment with respect to our common stock unless all accrued and unpaid dividends for all completed dividend periods with respect to such preferred stock or capital security, as applicable, have been paid.

------

In addition, we have outstanding junior subordinated debentures associated with certain capital securities, the terms of which permit us to defer interest payments on the debentures for up to five years. At any time when we have deferred interest payments on these debentures or if we are aware of any event that would be an event of default under the indenture governing those securities, subject to certain important exceptions, we may not declare or pay any dividends or distributions on, redeem, purchase, acquire or a make a liquidation payment with respect to any of our common stock.

We are a holding company that conducts substantially all of our operations through subsidiaries. Dividends and other capital distributions from our bank subsidiaries and, to a lesser extent, non-bank subsidiaries are our principal source of funds to pay dividends to our shareholders. Many of our subsidiaries, including our bank subsidiaries, are subject to laws that restrict dividend payments or other capital distributions or authorize regulatory bodies to prohibit or limit dividends or other capital distributions to us. Limitations on our ability to receive dividends or other capital distributions from our subsidiaries, including our bank subsidiaries, could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity and ability to pay dividends to our shareholders, especially to the extent that we must first service any outstanding debt obligations.

Further information concerning dividend restrictions and other factors that could limit our ability to pay dividends, including restrictions on paying dividends, making other capital distributions or extending credit from bank subsidiaries to the parent company are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

**Other Provisions**

The Articles of Incorporation and our Amended and Restated Bylaws (the "Bylaws") contain various provisions that may discourage or delay attempts to gain control of PNC. The Bylaws include provisions:

 • authorizing the Board to fix the size of the Board between five and 25 directors,

 • authorizing directors to fill vacancies on the Board occurring between annual shareholder meetings, including vacancies resulting from an increase in the number of directors,

 • authorizing only the Board, the Chairman of the Board or the Chief Executive Officer to call a special meeting of shareholders,

 • providing advance notice requirements for director nominations and business to be properly brought before a shareholder meeting, and

 • authorizing a majority of the Board to alter, amend, add to or repeal the Bylaws.

The Articles of Incorporation vest the authority to make, amend and repeal the Bylaws in the Board, subject to the power of our shareholders to change any such action.

Provisions of Pennsylvania law also could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire control of PNC or have the effect of discouraging a third party from attempting to control PNC. The PBCL allows Pennsylvania corporations to elect to either be covered or not be covered by certain "anti-takeover" provisions. We have elected in the Bylaws not to be covered by Subchapter G of Chapter 25 of the PBCL, which would otherwise enable existing shareholders of PNC in certain circumstances to block the voting rights of an acquiring person who makes or proposes to make a control-share acquisition. We have also opted out of the protection of Subchapter H of Chapter 25 of the PBCL, which would otherwise enable us to recover certain payments made to shareholders who have evidenced an intent to acquire control of PNC. However, the following provisions of the PBCL do apply to us:

 • shareholders are not entitled to call a special meeting (Section 2521),

 • unless the Articles of Incorporation provide otherwise (which as of the date hereof they do not), action by shareholder consent must be unanimous (Section 2524),

 • shareholders are not entitled to propose an amendment to the Articles of Incorporation (Section 2535),

------

•  certain transactions with interested shareholders (such as mergers or sales of assets between PNC and a shareholder) where the interested shareholder is a party to the transaction or is treated differently from other shareholders require approval by a majority of the disinterested shareholders (Section 2538),

•  a five-year moratorium exists on certain business combinations with a 20% or more shareholder (Sections 2551-2556), and

•  shareholders have a right to "put" their shares to a 20% shareholder at a "fair value" for a reasonable period after the 20% stake is acquired (Sections 2541-2547).

In addition, in certain instances the ability of the Board to issue authorized but unissued shares of common stock and preferred stock may have an anti-takeover effect.

The existence of the above provisions could result in PNC being less attractive to a potential acquirer, or result in our shareholders receiving less for their shares of common stock than otherwise might be available if there is a takeover attempt.

The ability of a third party to acquire PNC is also limited under applicable banking regulations. The Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 (the "Bank Holding Company Act") requires any "bank holding company" (as defined in the Bank Holding Company Act) to obtain the approval of the Federal Reserve prior to acquiring more than 5% of our voting securities. Any person other than a bank holding company is required to obtain prior approval of the Federal Reserve to acquire 10% or more of our voting securities under the Change in Bank Control Act of 1978. Any person (other than an individual) that seeks to acquire 25% or more of our voting securities, control one third or more of PNC's total equity (as defined under the regulations implementing the Bank Holding Company Act), or that would own or control more than 5% of our voting securities and have other relationships that would, pursuant to Federal Reserve regulations or rulings, provide the holder a "controlling influence" over PNC, also must obtain the prior approval of the Federal Reserve under the Bank Holding Company Act and, if approved, is then subject to regulation as a bank holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act. Furthermore, while we do not have a shareholder rights plan currently in effect, under Pennsylvania law the Board can adopt a shareholder rights plan without stockholder approval. If adopted, a shareholder rights plan could result in substantial dilution to a person or group that attempts to acquire PNC on terms not approved by the Board.

(1) See discussion of particular terms for this series of preferred stock below.

Computershare Trust Company, N.A., Canton, MA, is the transfer agent and registrar for the outstanding preferred stock. The Series B, Series S, Series T, Series U, Series V and Series W Preferred Stock are currently traded in the over-the-counter market. The outstanding preferred stock is fully paid and nonassessable. Holders of the outstanding preferred stock have no preemptive rights to subscribe for any additional securities that may be issued by us.

Because we are a holding company, our rights and the rights of holders of our securities, including the holders of preferred stock, to participate in the assets of any PNC subsidiary upon its liquidation or recapitalization will be subject to the prior claims of such subsidiary's creditors and preferred shareholders, except to the extent we may be a creditor with recognized claims against such subsidiary or a holder of preferred shares of such subsidiary.

We have elected to offer depositary shares evidenced by depositary receipts for our Series S, Series T, Series U, Series V and Series W Preferred Stock. Each depositary share represents a fractional interest (as specified in the statement with respect to shares relating to the particular series of preferred stock) in a share of a particular series of preferred stock issued and deposited with a depositary (as defined below). For a further description of the depositary shares, you should read "*Description of Depositary Shares*" below.

***Dividends and Other Payments***

The holders of the outstanding preferred stock are entitled to receive dividends, if declared by the Board or a duly authorized committee thereof. We will pay dividends to the holders of record as they appear on our stock books on the record dates fixed by the Board or a duly authorized committee thereof.

All series of preferred stock, with respect to the priority of payment of dividends, rank senior to all classes of common stock and any class of preferred stock we issue that specifically provides that it will rank junior to such preferred stock in respect to dividends, whether or not the preferred stock is designated as cumulative or noncumulative.

Under the Articles of Incorporation, so long as any shares of any series of cumulative preferred stock (including our Series B Preferred Stock (as defined below)) remain outstanding, the Board will not declare and pay a dividend on our common stock or on any class or series of our stock ranking subordinate as to dividends to such series of preferred stock (other than dividends payable in our common stock or in any class or series of our stock

------

ranking subordinate as to dividends and assets to such series), until dividends (to the extent cumulative) for all past dividend periods on all outstanding shares of such series have been paid, or declared and set apart for payment, in full. In addition, under the provisions of our outstanding Series S, Series T, Series U, Series V, Series W and Series X Preferred Stock, the Board will not declare and pay a dividend (subject to certain exceptions) on our common stock or on any class or series of our stock ranking subordinate as to dividends to such series of preferred stock if we have not declared a current dividend on all such series of preferred stock, as described below under "*Series S, Series T, Series U, Series V, Series W and Series X Preferred Stock Dividends*." If we do not pay in full dividends for any dividend period on all shares of preferred stock ranking equally as to dividends, all such shares will participate ratably in the payment of dividends for that period in proportion to the full amounts of dividends to which they are entitled.

Subject to certain important exceptions, the terms of certain of our outstanding series of capital securities prohibit us from declaring or paying dividends or distributions on or redeeming, purchasing, acquiring or making a liquidation payment with respect to our preferred stock unless all accrued and unpaid dividends for all completed dividend periods with respect to such capital security have been paid.

In addition, we have outstanding junior subordinated debentures associated with certain capital securities, the terms of which permit us to defer interest payments on the debentures for up to five years. At any time when we have deferred interest payments on these debentures or if we are aware of any event that would be an event of default under the indenture governing those securities, subject to certain important exceptions, we may not declare or pay any dividends or distributions on, redeem, purchase, acquire or make a liquidation payment with respect to any of our preferred stock.

We are a holding company that conducts substantially all of our operations through subsidiaries. Dividends and other capital distributions from our bank subsidiaries and, to a lesser extent, non-bank subsidiaries are our principal source of funds for payment of dividends to holders of preferred stock. Many of our subsidiaries, including our bank subsidiaries, are subject to laws that restrict dividend payments or other capital distributions or authorize regulatory bodies to prohibit or limit dividends or other capital distributions to us. Limitations on our ability to receive dividends or other capital distributions from our subsidiaries, including our bank subsidiaries, could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity and ability to pay dividends on our preferred stock, especially to the extent that we must first service any outstanding debt obligations.

*Series B Preferred Stock Dividends*. Holders of outstanding Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to cumulative dividends at the annual rate set forth above in the table titled "Summary of Key Terms of Outstanding Preferred Stock," which are payable quarterly when and as declared by the Board.

*Series S, Series T, Series U, Series V, Series W and Series X Preferred Stock Dividends*. Dividends on shares of the Series S, Series T, Series U, Series V, Series W and Series X Preferred Stock are not mandatory. Holders of such series of preferred stock are entitled to receive, when, as, and if declared by the Board or a duly authorized committee thereof, out of assets legally available for the payment of dividends under Pennsylvania law, non-cumulative cash dividends based on the liquidation preference of such series of preferred stock at a rate equal to:

•  In the case of the Series S Preferred Stock, 5.000% per annum for each semi-annual dividend period from the issue date of the depositary shares to, but excluding, November 1, 2026, payable in arrears on May 1 and November 1 of each year, and adjusted three-month CME Term SOFR plus a spread of 3.30% per annum for each quarterly dividend period from November 1, 2026 through the redemption date of the Series S Preferred Stock, if any, payable in arrears on February 1, May 1, August 1 and November 1 of each year. Adjusted three-month CME Term SOFR is equal to three-month CME Term SOFR plus 0.26161%.

------

•  In the case of the Series T Preferred Stock, 3.400% per annum for each quarterly dividend period from the issue date of the depositary shares to, but excluding, September 15, 2026, and the five-year U.S. Treasury rate (determined for each five-year reset period as described in the statement with respect to shares for the Series T Preferred Stock) plus a spread of 2.595% per annum for each quarterly dividend period from September 15, 2026 through the redemption date of the Series T Preferred Stock, if any, payable in arrears on March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15 of each year.

•  In the case of the Series U Preferred Stock, 6.000% per annum for each quarterly dividend period from the issue date of the depositary shares to, but excluding, May 15, 2027, and the five-year U.S. Treasury rate (determined for each five-year reset period as described in the statement with respect to shares for the Series U Preferred Stock) plus a spread of 3.000% per annum for each quarterly dividend period from May 15, 2027 through the redemption date of the Series U Preferred Stock, if any, payable in arrears on February 15, May 15, August 15 and November 15 of each year.

•  In the case of the Series V Preferred Stock, 6.200% per annum for each quarterly dividend period from the issue date of the depositary shares to, but excluding, September 15, 2027, and the five-year U.S. Treasury rate (determined for each five-year reset period as described in the statement with respect to shares for the Series V Preferred Stock) plus a spread of 3.238% per annum for each quarterly dividend period from September 15, 2027 through the redemption date of the Series V Preferred Stock, if any, payable in arrears on March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15 of each year.

•  In the case of the Series W Preferred Stock, 6.250% per annum for each quarterly dividend period from the issue date of the depositary shares to, but excluding, March 15, 2030, and the seven-year U.S. Treasury rate (determined for each seven-year reset period as described in the statement with respect to shares for the Series W Preferred Stock) plus a spread of 2.808% per annum for each quarterly dividend period from March 15, 2030 through the redemption date of the Series W Preferred Stock, if any, payable in arrears on March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15 of each year.

•  In the case of the Series X Preferred Stock, 7.250% per annum for each quarterly dividend period from October 29, 2025 to, but excluding, July 29, 2027, and the five-year U.S. Treasury rate (determined for each five-year reset period as described in the statement with respect to shares for the Series X Preferred Stock) plus a spread of 4.000% per annum for each quarterly dividend period from July 29, 2027 through the redemption date of the Series X Preferred Stock, if any, payable in arrears on January 29, April 29, July 29 and October 29 of each year.

In the event we issue additional shares of any such series of preferred stock after the original issue date, dividends on such shares will accrue from the original issue date of such additional shares, or in the case of the Series T, Series U, Series V, Series W and Series X Preferred Stock, if such additional shares are issued after the first dividend payment date for such series of preferred stock, dividends on such additional shares will accrue from the date on which such shares are issued (if it is a dividend payment date) or the dividend payment date next preceding the date on which such shares are issued.

A dividend period for any such series of preferred stock is the period from and including a dividend payment date to, but excluding, the next dividend payment date; *provided, however*, that the initial dividend period for the Series X Preferred Stock commenced on and included October 29, 2025. Dividends payable on any such series of preferred stock for the period in which the interest rate is fixed, and in the case of the Series T, Series U, Series V, Series W and Series X Preferred Stock, also for the period in which the interest rate is based on the five-year U.S. Treasury rate in the case of the Series T, Series U, Series V and Series X Preferred Stock and the seven-year U.S. Treasury rate in the case of the Series W Preferred Stock, are computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. Dividends payable on any such series of preferred stock for any period in which the interest rate is based on adjusted three-month CME Term SOFR will be computed based on the actual number of days in a dividend period and a 360-day year. Dollar amounts resulting from that calculation will be rounded to the nearest cent, with one-half cent being rounded upward. Dividends on any such series of preferred stock will cease to accrue on the redemption date, if any, as described below under "*Redemption by PNC*," unless we default in the payment of the redemption price of the shares called for redemption.

Dividends on shares of Series S, Series T, Series U, Series V, Series W and Series X Preferred Stock are not cumulative. Accordingly, if the Board or a duly authorized committee thereof does not declare a dividend payable in respect of any dividend period before the related dividend payment date, such dividend will not accrue and we will

------

have no obligation to pay a dividend for that dividend period on the dividend payment date or at any future time, whether or not dividends on such series of preferred stock are declared for any future dividend period.

During a dividend period with respect to each of the Series S, Series T, Series U, Series V, Series W and Series X Preferred Stock, so long as any share of such series remains outstanding, unless in each case of clause (i) through (iii) below, to the extent applicable to such Series S, Series T, Series U, Series V, Series W or Series X Preferred Stock, the full dividends for the preceding dividend period on all outstanding shares of Series S, Series T, Series U, Series V, Series W or Series X Preferred Stock, as applicable, have been declared and paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof has been set aside, (i) no dividend will be declared or paid or set aside for payment and no distribution will be declared or made or set aside for payment on any junior stock (other than (a) a dividend payable solely in such junior stock or (b) any dividend in connection with the implementation of a shareholders' rights plan, or the redemption or repurchase of any rights under any such plan), (ii) no shares of junior stock will be repurchased, redeemed or otherwise acquired for consideration by us (other than (a) as a result of a reclassification of such junior stock for or into other junior stock, (b) the exchange or conversion of one share of such junior stock for or into another share of junior stock, (c) through the use of the proceeds of a substantially contemporaneous sale of other shares of junior stock, (d) purchases, redemptions or other acquisitions of shares of such junior stock in connection with any employment contract, benefit plan or other similar arrangement with or for the benefit of employees, officers, directors or consultants, (e) purchases of shares of such junior stock pursuant to a contractually binding requirement to buy such junior stock existing prior to the preceding dividend period, including under a contractually binding stock repurchase plan, or (f) the purchase of fractional interests in shares of such junior stock pursuant to the conversion or exchange provisions of such stock or the security being converted or exchanged), nor will any monies be paid to or made available for a sinking fund for the redemption of any such securities by us, and (iii) no shares of parity stock will be repurchased, redeemed or otherwise acquired for consideration by us other than pursuant to *pro rata* offers to purchase all, or a *pro rata* portion, of the applicable series of preferred stock and such parity stock, except by conversion into or exchange for junior stock.

As used in this description, (i) "junior stock" means our common stock and any other class or series of our stock hereafter authorized over which the Series S, Series T, Series U, Series V, Series W or Series X Preferred Stock, as applicable, has preference or priority in the payment of dividends or in the distribution of assets on any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of PNC, and (ii) "parity stock" means any other class or series of our stock that ranks on parity with the Series S, Series T, Series U, Series V, Series W or Series X Preferred Stock, as applicable, in the payment of dividends and in the distribution of assets on any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of PNC. The following series of preferred stock are considered parity stock: Series B, Series S, Series T, Series U, Series V, Series W and Series X Preferred Stock.

When dividends are not paid in full upon the shares of Series S, Series T, Series U, Series V, Series W or Series X Preferred Stock, as applicable, and any parity stock, all dividends declared upon shares of such series of preferred stock and any parity stock, if any, will be declared on a proportional basis so that the amount of dividends declared per share will bear to each other the same ratio that accrued dividends for such series of preferred stock, and accrued dividends, including any accumulations, on any parity stock, bear to each other for the then-current dividend period.

Dividends on the Series S, Series T, Series U, Series V, Series W and Series X Preferred Stock will not be declared, paid or set aside for payment to the extent such act would cause us to fail to comply with the laws and regulations applicable to us, including applicable regulatory capital rules.

Subject to the foregoing, and not otherwise, dividends (payable in cash, stock or otherwise), as may be determined by the Board or a duly authorized committee thereof, may be declared and paid on our common stock and any other stock ranking equally with or junior to any of the Series S, Series T, Series U, Series V, Series W or Series X Preferred Stock from time to time out of any assets legally available for such payment, and the holders of Series S, Series T, Series U, Series V, Series W and Series X Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to participate in any such dividend.

***Voting***

Under the Articles of Incorporation and Pennsylvania law, holders of our preferred stock have the voting rights described below. Except as described below or as may be fixed and determined by the Board with respect to a particular series of preferred stock and described in the applicable statement with respect to shares, or as may be otherwise required by applicable law, the holders of preferred stock are not entitled to vote. To the extent holders of preferred stock are granted voting rights, such holders and the holders of common stock vote together as one class, except as otherwise required by law or provided by the Board and described in the applicable statement with respect to shares. We are not required to obtain any consent of the holders of preferred stock of a given series in connection with the authorization, designation, increase or issuance of any shares of preferred stock that rank junior or equal to the preferred stock of such series with respect to dividends and liquidation rights.

*Voting Rights under Articles of Incorporation – Right to Elect Two Directors upon Nonpayment.* If we fail to pay, or declare and set apart for payment, dividends on outstanding shares of preferred stock of a series for six quarterly dividend periods, or their equivalent, whether or not consecutive, the number of directors on the Board will be increased by two at the first annual meeting of shareholders held thereafter, and at such meeting and each subsequent annual meeting until cumulative dividends payable for all past dividend periods and continuous noncumulative dividends for at least one year on all outstanding shares of preferred stock of such series entitled thereto shall have been paid, or declared and set apart for payment, in full, the holders of outstanding shares of preferred stock of all series will have the right, voting together as a class, to elect such two additional directors to the Board to hold office for a term of one year. Upon such payment, or such declaration and setting apart for payment, in full, the terms of the two additional directors so elected will terminate and the number of directors on the Board will be reduced by two, and such voting rights of the holders of shares of preferred stock will end, subject to an increase in the number of directors on the Board as described above and the revesting of such voting right in the event of each and every additional failure in the payment of dividends for six quarterly dividend periods, or their equivalent, whether or not consecutive, as described above.

Under regulations adopted by the Federal Reserve, if the holders of preferred stock of any series become entitled to vote for the election of directors because dividends on such series are in arrears as described above, that series may then be deemed a "class of voting securities" and a holder (other than an individual) of 25% or more of such series, a holder of control of one third or more of PNC's total equity (as defined under the regulations implementing the Bank Holding Company Act), or a holder of 5% or more if it otherwise exercises a "controlling influence" over PNC may then be subject to regulation as a bank holding company in accordance with the Bank Holding Company Act. In addition, when the series is deemed a class of voting securities, any other bank holding company may be required to obtain the prior approval of the Federal Reserve to acquire or retain more than 5% of that series, and any person other than a bank holding company may be required to obtain the prior approval of the Federal Reserve to acquire or retain 10% or more of that series.

*Voting Rights under Pennsylvania Law.* The PBCL attaches mandatory voting rights to preferred stock in connection with certain amendments to the Articles of Incorporation, under which the holders of preferred stock of a particular series would be entitled to vote as a class if the amendment would:

 • authorize the Board to fix and determine the relative rights and preferences, as between series, of any preferred or special class,

•  make any change in the preferences, limitations or special rights (other than preemptive rights or the right to vote cumulatively) of the shares of a class or series adverse to the class or series,

 • authorize a new class or series of shares having a preference as to dividends or assets which is senior to the shares of a class or series,

 • increase the number of authorized shares of any class or series having a preference as to dividends or assets which is senior in any respect to the shares of a class or series, or

 • make the outstanding shares of a class or series redeemable by a method that is not pro rata, by lot or otherwise equitable.

------

Holders of outstanding shares of preferred stock are also entitled under Pennsylvania law to vote as a class on a plan of merger that effects any change in the Articles of Incorporation if the holders would have been entitled to a class vote under the statutory provision relating to the adoption of articles amendments discussed above.

*Series B Preferred Stock Voting*. Holders of outstanding Series B Preferred Stock have the voting rights described above under "*Summary of Key Terms of Outstanding Preferred Stock—Voting*." In addition, holders of outstanding Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to a number of votes equal to the number of full shares of common stock into which their preferred stock is convertible.

*Series S, Series T, Series U, Series V, Series W and Series X Preferred Stock Voting.* Except as described above and below, or as otherwise required by applicable law, the holders of the Series S, Series T, Series U, Series V, Series W and Series X Preferred Stock have no voting rights.

So long as any shares of the Series S, Series T, Series U, Series V, Series W or Series X Preferred Stock, as applicable, remain outstanding, the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of at least two-thirds of all outstanding shares of the series, voting separately as a class, shall be required to:

•  authorize, increase the authorized amount of or issue shares of any class or series of stock ranking senior to such series of preferred stock with respect to dividends or the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolutions or winding up of PNC,

•  issue any obligation or security convertible into or evidencing the right to purchase any class or series of stock ranking senior to such series of preferred stock with respect to payment of dividends or the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of PNC,

•  amend the provisions of the Articles of Incorporation so as to adversely affect the powers, preferences, privileges or rights of such series of preferred stock, taken as a whole, provided, however, that any increase in the amount of the authorized or issued shares of such series of preferred stock or authorized common stock or preferred stock or the creation and issuance, or an increase in the authorized or issued amount, of other series of preferred stock ranking equally with or junior to such series of preferred stock with respect to the payment of dividends (whether such dividends are cumulative or non-cumulative) or the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of PNC will not be deemed to adversely affect the powers, preferences, privileges or rights of such series of preferred stock, or

•  consolidate with or merge into any other entity unless (i) the shares of such series of preferred stock outstanding at the time of such consolidation or merger are converted into or exchanged for preference securities having such rights, preferences, privileges and voting powers, taken as a whole, as are not materially less favorable to the holders thereof than the rights, preferences, privileges and voting powers of such series of preferred stock, taken as a whole, or (ii) in the case of the Series T, Series U, Series V, Series W and Series X Preferred Stock only, such shares remain outstanding.

The foregoing voting provisions will not apply if, at or prior to the time when the act with respect to which such vote would otherwise be required shall be effected, all outstanding shares of Series S, Series T, Series U, Series V, Series W or Series X Preferred Stock, as applicable, shall have been redeemed or called for redemption upon proper notice and sufficient funds shall have been set aside by us for the benefit of the holders of such series of preferred stock to effect such redemption.

***Liquidation of PNC***

In the event of the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of PNC, the holders of each outstanding series of preferred stock will be entitled to receive liquidating distributions before any distribution of assets is made to the holders of our common stock or any other class or series of shares ranking junior to that series, in the amount fixed by the Board for that series and described in the applicable statement with respect to shares, plus, if dividends on that series are cumulative, accrued and unpaid dividends (to the extent cumulative). Holders of shares of outstanding series of preferred stock will not be entitled to any other amounts from us after they have received their full liquidating distribution. In addition, our preferred stock may be fully subordinate to interests held by the U.S. government in the event of a receivership, insolvency, liquidation or similar proceeding, including a proceeding under the "orderly liquidation authority" provisions of the Dodd Frank Act.

------

In any such distribution, if the assets of PNC are not sufficient to pay the liquidation preferences plus declared and unpaid dividends in full to all holders of shares of each outstanding series of preferred stock and all holders of parity stock, the amounts paid to the holders of shares of each outstanding series of preferred stock and any parity stock will be paid pro rata in accordance with the respective aggregate liquidating distribution owed to those holders. If the liquidation preference plus declared and unpaid dividends has been paid in full to all holders of shares of each outstanding series of preferred stock and any parity stock, the holders of our junior stock shall be entitled to receive all remaining assets of PNC according to their respective rights and preferences.

Subject to certain important exceptions, the terms of certain of our outstanding capital securities prohibit us from making a liquidation payment with respect to our preferred stock unless all accrued and unpaid dividends for all completed dividend periods with respect to that capital security have been paid.

In addition, we have outstanding junior subordinated debentures associated with certain capital securities, the terms of which permit us to defer interest payments on the debentures for up to five years. At any time when we have deferred interest payments on these debentures or if we are aware of any event that would be an event of default under the indenture governing those securities, subject to certain important exceptions, we may not make a liquidation payment with respect to any of our preferred stock.

For purposes of this section, neither the merger or consolidation of PNC with any other entity, including a merger or consolidation in which the holders of outstanding series of our preferred stock receive cash, securities or property for their shares, nor the sale, lease or exchange of all or substantially all of the assets of PNC for cash, securities or other property, shall constitute a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of PNC.

Because we are a holding company, our rights and the rights of our creditors and our shareholders, including the holders of the preferred stock, to participate in the assets of any of our subsidiaries upon that subsidiary's liquidation or recapitalization may be subject to the prior claims of that subsidiary's creditors, except to the extent that we are a creditor with recognized claims against the subsidiary.

***Redemption by PNC***

Subject to certain important exceptions, the terms of certain of our outstanding capital securities prohibit us from redeeming our preferred stock unless all accrued and unpaid dividends for all completed dividend periods with respect to that capital security have been paid.

In addition, we have outstanding junior subordinated debentures associated with certain capital securities, the terms of which permit us to defer interest payments on the debentures for up to five years. At any time when we have deferred interest payments on these debentures or if we are aware of any event that would be an event of default under the indenture governing those securities, subject to certain important exceptions, we may not redeem any of our preferred stock.

Redemption of preferred stock is generally subject to compliance with applicable regulatory capital rules, including any applicable approvals.

*Series B Preferred Stock Redemption*. The Series B Preferred Stock is not redeemable nor entitled to the benefit of any retirement or sinking fund to be applied to the purchase or redemption of such shares.

*Series S, Series T, Series U, Series V, Series W and Series X Preferred Stock Redemption*. The Series S, Series T, Series U, Series V, Series W and Series X Preferred Stock are not subject to any mandatory redemption, sinking fund or other similar provisions, and the holders of such series of preferred stock have no right to require the redemption or repurchase of such series of preferred stock (or any depositary shares representing such series of preferred stock).

Subject to the limitations described under "*Redemption by PNC*," we may redeem the Series S, Series T, Series U, Series V, Series W and Series X Preferred Stock as described below.

------

The Series S Preferred Stock is redeemable at our option, in whole or in part, from time to time, on any dividend payment date on or after November 1, 2026, at a redemption price equal to $100,000 per share (equivalent to $1,000 per depositary share), plus any declared and unpaid dividends, without accumulation of any undeclared dividends.

The Series T Preferred Stock is redeemable at our option, in whole or in part, from time to time, on any dividend payment date on or after September 15, 2026, at a redemption price equal to $100,000 per share (equivalent to $1,000 per depositary share), plus any declared and unpaid dividends, without accumulation of any undeclared dividends.

The Series U Preferred Stock is redeemable at our option, in whole or in part, from time to time, on any dividend payment date on or after May 15, 2027, at a redemption price equal to $100,000 per share (equivalent to $1,000 per depositary share), plus any declared and unpaid dividends, without accumulation of any undeclared dividends.

The Series V Preferred Stock is redeemable at our option, in whole or in part, from time to time, on any dividend payment date on or after September 15, 2027, at a redemption price equal to $100,000 per share (equivalent to $1,000 per depositary share), plus any declared and unpaid dividends, without accumulation of any undeclared dividends.

The Series W Preferred Stock is redeemable at our option, in whole or in part, from time to time, on any dividend payment date on or after March 15, 2030, at a redemption price equal to $100,000 per share (equivalent to $1,000 per depositary share), plus any declared and unpaid dividends, without accumulation of any undeclared dividends.

The Series X Preferred Stock is redeemable at our option, in whole or in part, from time to time, on any dividend payment date on or after July 29, 2027, at a redemption price equal to $1,000 per share, plus any declared and unpaid dividends, without accumulation of any undeclared dividends.

We may redeem shares of the Series S, Series T, Series U, Series V, Series W or Series X Preferred Stock at any time within 90 days following the occurrence of a regulatory capital treatment event (as defined below), in whole but not part, at a redemption price equal to $100,000 per share of preferred stock (equivalent to $1,000 per depositary share in the case of the Series S, Series T, Series U, Series V and Series W Preferred Stock) and, in the case of the Series X Preferred Stock, at a redemption price equal to $1,000 per share of preferred stock, plus any declared and unpaid dividends, and in the case of the Series S Preferred Stock any accrued and unpaid dividends on the shares of preferred stock called for redemption up to the redemption date, or in the case of the Series T, Series U, Series V and Series W Preferred Stock, an amount equal to the partial dividend that would have accrued from the prior scheduled dividend payment date to the redemption date. A "regulatory capital treatment event" means the good faith determination by us that as a result of (i) any amendment to, or change in, the laws or regulations of the United States or any political subdivision of or in the United States that is enacted or becomes effective after the initial issuance of any share of the applicable series of preferred stock; (ii) any proposed change in those laws or regulations that is announced after the initial issuance of any share of the applicable series of preferred stock; or (iii) any official administrative decision or judicial decision or administrative action or other official pronouncement interpreting or applying those laws or regulations that is announced after the initial issuance of any share of the applicable series of preferred stock, there is more than an insubstantial risk that we will not be entitled to treat the full liquidation value of the shares of the applicable series of preferred stock then outstanding as "additional Tier 1 capital" (or its equivalent) for purposes of the regulatory capital rules of the Federal Reserve (or, as and if applicable, the regulatory capital regulations of any appropriate successor federal banking agency), as then in effect and applicable, for as long as any share of the applicable series of preferred stock is outstanding.

Redemption of the Series S, Series T, Series U, Series V, Series W or Series X Preferred Stock, as applicable, is subject to our receipt of any required prior approvals from the Federal Reserve and to the satisfaction of any conditions set forth in the capital guidelines or regulations of the Federal Reserve applicable to the redemption of such series of preferred stock.

------

***Conversion***

*Series B Preferred Stock*. Holders of outstanding Series B Preferred Stock currently are entitled to the conversion privileges set forth above in the table titled "Summary of Key Terms of Outstanding Preferred Stock." Series B Preferred Stock is convertible into our common stock (unless called for redemption and not converted within the time allowed therefor) at any time at the option of the holder. No adjustment will be made for dividends on preferred stock converted or on common stock issuable upon conversion. The conversion rate of Series B Preferred Stock will be adjusted in certain events, including payment of stock dividends on, or splits or combinations of, the common stock or issuance to holders of common stock of rights to purchase common stock at a price per share less than 90% of current market price as defined in the Articles of Incorporation. Appropriate adjustments in the conversion provisions also will be made in the event of certain reclassifications, consolidations or mergers or the sale of substantially all of the assets of PNC.

*Series S, Series T, Series U, Series V, Series W and Series X Preferred Stock Conversion*. The Series S, Series T, Series U, Series V, Series W and Series X Preferred Stock are not entitled to any conversion privileges.

**DESCRIPTION OF DEPOSITARY SHARES**

We have elected to offer fractional interests in the Series S, Series T, Series U, Series V and Series W Preferred Stock, rather than whole shares of preferred stock as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Depositary Shares, each representing a 1/100 interest in a share of Fixed-to-Floating Rate Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series S,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Depositary Shares, each representing a 1/100 interest in a share of 3.400% Fixed-Rate Reset Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series T,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Depositary Shares, each representing a 1/100 interest in a share of 6.000% Fixed-Rate Reset Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series U,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Depositary Shares, each representing a 1/100 interest in a share of 6.200% Fixed-Rate Reset Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series V, and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Depositary Shares, each representing a 1/100 interest in a share of 6.250% Fixed-Rate Reset Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series W.

We have provided for the issuance by a depositary to the public of receipts for depositary shares, and each of these depositary shares represents a fraction of a share of a particular series of preferred stock.

The shares of any series of preferred stock represented by the depositary shares are deposited pursuant to a deposit agreement between us and a depositary selected by us. The depositary is a bank or trust company and will have its principal office in the United States and a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000. The statement with respect to shares relating to a series of depositary shares will set forth the name and address of the depositary. Subject to the terms of the deposit agreement, each owner of a depositary share will be entitled, in proportion to the applicable fractional interest in a share of preferred stock represented by such depositary share, to all the rights and preferences of the preferred stock represented thereby, including any dividend, voting, redemption, conversion and liquidation rights.

The depositary shares are evidenced by depositary receipts issued under the deposit agreement.

Our affiliates may resell depositary shares after their initial issuance in market-making transactions.

**Dividends and Other Distributions**

The depositary will distribute any cash dividends or other cash distributions received in respect of the preferred stock to the record holders of depositary shares relating to the underlying preferred stock in proportion to the number of depositary shares held by the holders.

------

If we make a distribution other than in cash, the depositary will distribute any property received by it to the record holders of depositary shares entitled to those distributions, unless the depositary determines that the distribution cannot be made proportionally among those holders or that it is not feasible to make a distribution. In that event, the depositary may, with our approval, sell the property and distribute the net proceeds from the sale to the holders of the depositary shares in proportion to the number of depositary shares they hold.

**Redemption of Depositary Shares**

Whenever we redeem shares of preferred stock held by the depositary, the depositary will redeem, as of the same redemption date, the number of depositary shares representing the shares of preferred stock so redeemed. If fewer than all of the outstanding depositary shares are to be redeemed, the depositary will select the depositary shares to be redeemed *pro rata* or by lot as may be determined by the depositary. The redemption price per depositary share will be equal to the applicable fraction of the redemption price per share payable with respect to that series of preferred stock.

Depositary shares called for redemption will no longer be outstanding after the applicable redemption date, and all rights of the holders of such depositary shares will cease, except the right to receive any money or other property upon surrender to the depositary of the depositary receipts evidencing those depositary shares.

**Voting the Preferred Stock**

Upon receipt of notice of any meeting at which the holders of preferred stock are entitled to vote, the depositary will mail the information contained in the notice of meeting to the record holders of depositary shares representing shares of such preferred stock. Each record holder of such depositary shares on the record date, which will be the same date as the record date for the preferred stock, may instruct the depositary to vote the amount of the preferred stock represented by the holder's depositary shares. To the extent possible, the depositary will vote the amount of the preferred stock represented by such depositary shares in accordance with the instructions it receives. We will agree to take all reasonable actions that the depositary determines are necessary to enable the depositary to vote as instructed. If the depositary does not receive specific instructions from the holders of any depositary shares representing such preferred stock, it will not vote the amount of the preferred stock represented by such depositary shares.

**Conversion of Preferred Stock**

If a series of preferred stock represented by the depositary shares is convertible into shares of our common stock or any other class of our capital securities, we will accept the delivery of depositary receipts to convert such preferred stock using the same procedures as those for delivery of certificates for such preferred stock. If the depositary shares represented by a depositary receipt are to be converted in part only, the depositary will issue a new depositary receipt or depositary receipts for the depositary shares that are not converted.

**Amendment and Termination of the Deposit Agreement**

We and the depositary may amend the form of depositary receipt evidencing the depositary shares and any provision of the deposit agreement at any time. However, any amendment that materially and adversely alters the rights of the holders of depositary shares will not be effective unless the amendment has been approved by the holders of at least a majority of the depositary shares then outstanding. Except as may be otherwise provided in the applicable deposit agreement, we or the depositary may terminate the deposit agreement only if (i) all outstanding depositary shares have been redeemed or (ii) there has been a final distribution of the underlying preferred stock in connection with any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of PNC.

**Charges of Depositary**

We will pay all transfer and other taxes and governmental charges arising solely from the existence of the depositary arrangements. We will also pay charges of the depositary in connection with the initial deposit of the

------

preferred stock and the initial issuance of the depositary shares, all withdrawals of shares of preferred stock by holders of depositary shares, and any redemption or exchange of the preferred stock at our option. Holders of depositary shares will pay other transfer and other taxes and governmental charges and such other charges as are expressly provided in the deposit agreement to be for their accounts.

**Resignation and Removal of Depositary**

The depositary may resign at any time by delivering to us notice of its election to do so, and we may remove the depositary at any time by delivering to the depositary notice of such removal. Any such resignation or removal will take effect only upon the appointment of a successor depositary and such successor depositary's acceptance of its appointment. The successor depositary must be a bank or trust company having its principal office in the United States and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000.

**Miscellaneous**

The depositary will forward to the holders of depositary shares all reports and communications that we deliver to the depositary and that we are required to furnish to the holders of the preferred stock.

Neither we nor the depositary will be liable if we are prevented or delayed by law or any circumstance beyond our control in performing our obligations under the deposit agreement. Our obligations and the obligations of the depositary under the deposit agreement will be limited to performance in good faith of our respective duties under the deposit agreement. Neither we nor the depositary will be obligated to appear in, prosecute or defend any action, suit or other legal proceeding relating to any depositary shares or preferred stock unless satisfactory indemnity is furnished. Both we and the depositary may rely upon written advice of counsel or accountants, or upon information provided by holders of preferred stock or depositary shares or other persons believed by us in good faith to be competent, and on any written notice, request, direction or document believed by us to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties. The depositary may also rely on information provided by us.

Mr. Mark Wiedman

Dear Mark,

We are pleased to offer you the terms of employment for the position of President at PNC.

Your start date will be April 7, 2025.

Your primary work location will be 300 Fifth Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA 15222.

Your officer appointment of President is effective at date of hire and will be submitted to the Board of Directors.

You will receive a signing bonus of $1,000,000.00, less appropriate withholding taxes, to be paid within your first month of employment. Should you voluntarily terminate employment with PNC within two years of active employment from your start date, you will be obligated to repay PNC the full amount of the signing bonus.

At the next general grant opportunity after you begin employment with PNC, you will be granted a one-time guaranteed award of special one-time stock-payable Group 1 covered executive restricted share units ("RSUs") with a grant date value of $2,080,000.00, and Group 1 covered executive performance share units ("PSUs") with a grant date value of $3,120,000.00 (in each case, rounded up to the nearest whole share.) The RSUs will generally vest over three years in substantially equal portions on each of the anniversaries of the date of grant, subject to your continued employment on such vesting dates and satisfaction of all underlying risk performance metrics. The PSUs should generally vest in February 2028, subject to your continued employment on the distribution date and satisfaction of all underlying risk and corporate performance metrics. All grants are subject to the terms and conditions of PNC's 2016 Incentive Award Plan as amended or a successor plan that may be adopted by PNC ("IAP") and the underlying award agreement, as applicable.

For the 2025 performance year, your target annual compensation will be $10,500,000.00, prorated for your partial year of employment. Your annualized base salary will be $700,000, payable in accordance with Company's standard payroll procedures. The components of this target compensation are as follows, in each case prorated for your partial year of employment.

Base salary:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$700,000.00 (on an annualized basis)

Total incentive (annual cash and long-term equity):&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>$9,800,000.00</u>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Total compensation:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$10,500,000.00&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Beginning in the 2025 plan year, you will be eligible to participate in an incentive plan applicable to your role. Eligibility to receive future awards under this plan is subject to the plan requirements, which includes your continued employment with PNC through the dates the awards are paid and your satisfactory performance.

You will also be eligible to participate in PNC's IAP. An award of annual stock-payable RSUs and PSUs for performance year 2025 will be granted in the first quarter of the following year, subject to the terms and conditions of the IAP and the underlying award agreement, as applicable. The RSUs generally vest over three years in substantially equal portions on each of the anniversaries of the date of grant, subject to the service and risk performance requirements, forfeiture provisions, and other conditions and terms of the applicable award agreement. The PSUs generally vest after three years, subject to the service, risk performance and corporate

------

Exhibit 10.27

performance requirements, forfeiture provisions, and other conditions and terms of the applicable award agreement. For the awards to become effective, you will be required to timely accept the awards by properly executing an unaltered copy of the award agreement. The award agreement will include, among other things, several provisions designed to help protect PNC's business, including your agreement that you will not solicit certain customers or employees of PNC for the benefit of any person other than PNC while you are employed and for a period of one year after your termination of employment with PNC for any reason, to maintain at all times the confidentiality of business and technical information, and to disclose and assign certain inventions, all as more specifically provided in the award agreement.

THE PNC FINANCIAL SERVICES GROUP, INC.

Ethics and Conduct Insider Trading Policy

<u>Applies To</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Ethics and Conduct Insider Trading Policy ("Policy") applies to the directors and employees of The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. ("PNC FSG") and its Subsidiaries (collectively, "PNC").

<u>Overview and Purpose</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• This Policy sets forth the standards of conduct required of PNC directors and employees regarding their personal securities transactions. It also sets forth the requirements for PNC personnel executing trades on behalf of PNC FSG and PNC Bank.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• PNC has adopted this Policy to prevent insider trading and to assist its directors and employees in understanding their obligations and responsibilities under applicable security laws and regulations. All persons covered by this Policy are responsible for understanding and complying with its requirements. They are also individually responsible for ensuring the compliance of any Immediate Family Members whose transactions are also subject to this Policy.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• U.S. federal and state laws (and this Policy) prohibit insider trading, which is generally defined as a person buying, selling, recommending or making other transfers of a Security of a Public Issuer if they are aware of Inside Information about the Public Issuer. In addition, these prohibitions extend, as set forth in the Transaction Rules for PNC as a Public Issuer Section of this Policy, to trades on behalf of PNC in the Securities of PNC FSG and PNC Bank.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Inside Information, sometimes referred to as material, nonpublic information (or "MNPI"), is information that:

oRelates to a Public Issuer, such as information about its business operations or Securities, that a reasonable investor would consider important in determining whether to buy, sell, or hold such Securities; and

oHas not been disclosed to the public (i.e., is not generally available to the public or investment community through widely disseminated means such as a press release, a public filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), a newspaper article or other publication in general circulation, or other public dissemination of information). Public dissemination of rumors or speculation does not by itself cause information that would otherwise be Inside Information to be treated as having been disclosed publicly, even if the rumors or speculation are accurate.

![image_0a.jpg](image_0a.jpg)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Exhibit 19.1

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Inside Information can include both positive and negative information. Examples may include but are not limited to: financial results; known but unannounced future earnings or losses; news of a pending or proposed merger; news of the disposition or acquisition of significant assets; news of potentially negative regulatory findings or fines; significant developments involving corporate relationships; changes in dividend policy; stock splits; new equity or debt offerings; or significant litigation exposure due to actual or threatened litigation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• As described in this Policy, PNC strictly prohibits insider trading and any misuse of Inside Information obtained in connection with service at PNC. Any person engaging in such misconduct will be subject to serious corrective action, up to and including termination, and could also be held liable for violating federal or state insider trading laws. Insider trading is a crime that could result in significant negative consequences, including but not limited to monetary penalties, criminal fines or imprisonment for the individual involved. PNC could also face penalties, including fines and other negative impacts.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The prohibition against insider trading in this Policy is not limited to trading in PNC Securities. It includes trading in the Securities of other firms, such as Customer or Third Party, and those with which PNC may be negotiating major transactions, such as an acquisition, investment, or sale. Information that is not material to PNC may nevertheless be material to one of those other firms. Regulators have also prosecuted insider trading violations where an employee or insider of a Public Issuer has traded in the stock of a related company, such as a competitor of or company with a market connection to such Public Issuer, where the employee or insider possesses Inside Information about the Public Issuer learned in connection with their employment or because of their role as an insider.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• In addition to prohibiting insider trading and the misuse of Inside Information, the Corporate Ethics Office and PNC Executive Management, designates certain employees as Restricted Employees. Restricted Employees and their Immediate Family Members are subject to special reporting requirements related to their Securities trading activities. In addition, some Restricted Employees and their Immediate Family Members will be subject to pre-clearance requirements prior to trading. Employees will be notified by the Corporate Ethics Office if they are designated as a Restricted Employee, and they will be provided with additional information on the restrictions to which they will be subject. Additional requirements also apply to the directors of PNC FSG ("PNC FSG Directors") as set forth in the Additional Restrictions on Personal Investment Transactions of PNC FSG Directors Section of this Policy.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• In addition, certain employees are considered Monitored Employees (employees identified as having access to material, non-public information about PNC or PNC's publicly traded clients, or by their business because of their status as a FINRA-licensed or fiduciary employee), as such Monitored

Employees and their Immediate Family Members are subject to additional obligations related to their Securities trading activities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• In certain situations, employees are also required to preclear directly with the Corporate Ethics Office any Personal Investment Transactions on behalf of themselves and their Immediate Family Members to avoid actual conflicts of interest or the appearance of conflicts of interest. These pre-clearance requirements are described in the Avoidance of Conflicts of Interest in Connection with Personal Investment Transactions Section of this Policy.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• This Policy aligns with and supports the Enterprise Conduct Risk Management Framework Policy and the Ethics and Conduct Policy ("ECP").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• This Policy governs and is further supported by the Ethics and Conduct Procedure.

<u>Personal Investment Transaction Rules and Requirements</u>

*General Prohibitions Against Insider Trading and Misuse of Inside Information*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• In your roles with PNC, you may become aware of Inside Information related to PNC, its Customers, Third Party, or other companies. While you are in possession of such information, it is vitally important that you guard this information and share it only as necessary to fulfill your official duties and responsibilities with PNC, and not for any personal benefit to yourself or any related person or entity. Any outside inquiries for such information by media or stock analysts should be reported and referred to the Corporate Communications Office.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Remember that you have an obligation to comply with applicable securities laws and the provisions of this Policy. You should avoid even the appearance of an improper transaction to preserve PNC's reputation for adhering to the highest ethical standards of conduct.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• In keeping with these obligations, PNC directors and employees and, in each case, their Immediate Family Members are **strictly prohibited** from, directly or indirectly (e.g., transactions in which you or an Immediate Family Member is a decision-maker, whether on your behalf or on behalf of others and whether or not others also participate as a decision-maker over investments, such as situations where you or an Immediate Family Member serve as a trustee), engaging in the following types of Personal Investment Transactions:

o**Trading while in possession of Inside Information**: Except for those transactions expressly permitted by this Policy, do not buy or sell (1) PNC Securities while in possession of Inside Information concerning PNC or (2) the Securities of a Public Issuer while in possession of Inside Information concerning that Public Issuer learned in connection with your role with PNC. REMEMBER: Insider trading

Last Updated: 01/10/2026

![image_0a.jpg](image_0a.jpg)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Exhibit 19.1

occurs when you are aware of Inside Information at the time of the trade, not whether you used the information in deciding to trade. Be cautious of trading when you become aware of emerging facts or circumstances where it is not yet clear whether the information or situation may be material to PNC (e.g., a cyber breach). Trades made by others on your behalf without any involvement from you whatsoever normally do not violate this prohibition (i.e., trades in Managed Accounts). Note: While that is generally the case, Restricted Employees are nonetheless prohibited from holding PNC Securities in a Managed Account.

o**Recommending the purchase or sale of securities while in possession of Inside Information**: In addition to not trading on Inside Information, do not recommend that any other person trade in the Securities of a Public Issuer while in possession of Inside Information concerning that Public Issuer learned in connection with your role with PNC. This restriction applies even if you do not disclose the Inside Information itself but merely recommend the securities transaction.

o**Disclosing or "tipping" Inside Information to those inside or outside of PNC**: Do not disclose Inside Information to any other person unless permitted to do so for legitimate business interests of PNC or the subject company (and pursuant to appropriate confidentiality restrictions). Unlawfully disclosing or "tipping" information about any company to others who then trade while in possession of the information may give rise to claims against the person tipping the information in addition to the person who traded while in possession of the information.

o**Adopting, modifying, or terminating a Trading Plan while in possession of Inside Information**: A Trading Plan cannot be adopted, modified or terminated while in possession of Inside Information. To help ensure that any Trading Plan in PNC Securities takes full advantage of the affirmative defense provided in the SEC's Rule 10b5-1, Trading Plans must also comply with the requirements of the Personal Trading Plans Under Rule 10b5-1 Section of this Policy.

o**Adopting, modifying, or terminating participation in a Dividend Reinvestment Plan while in possession of Inside Information**: The trading restrictions of this Policy do not apply to purchases of PNC Securities under a PNC dividend reinvestment plan that result from a reinvestment of dividends paid on PNC Securities held in such plan. The trading restrictions do apply, however, to voluntary purchases of PNC Securities that result from additional contributions made under such plan and to the election to participate, cease to participate, or otherwise alter the level of participation in the plan, in each case, while in possession of Inside Information. These trading restrictions also

Last Updated: 01/10/2026

![image_0a.jpg](image_0a.jpg)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Exhibit 19.1

apply to the sale of any PNC Securities purchased pursuant to such plan while in possession of Inside Information. With respect to such foregoing voluntary purchases, participation elections, or sales of PNC Securities, the Blackout Period (as described below) will continue to apply regardless of whether you possess Inside Information in those instances.

o**Engaging in Day Trading or Short Selling of PNC Securities**: Do not engage in Day Trading or Short Selling of PNC Securities, regardless of whether you are in possession of Inside Information. These types of transactions are forbidden because they represent a belief that PNC's stock price will decline and such speculation can harm PNC and send inappropriate and potentially misleading signals to the market.

o**Engaging in transactions in any derivative of PNC Securities, including buying and writing options**: Do not engage in transactions in any derivative of PNC Securities, regardless of whether you are in possession of Inside Information. However, this prohibition does not extend to permissible transactions in Securities issued under a PNC compensation plan.

o**Engaging in transactions in Exchange-Traded Funds ("ETFs") investing primarily in banks**: Do not engage in transactions in ETFs that invest primarily in banks that would be impermissible with respect to PNC Securities.

o**Assisting anyone engaged in the above activities**: Do not assist any person or entity in engaging in any of the activities prohibited by this Section.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Individuals subject to this Policy may be restricted from using PNC Securities to meet a margin call or satisfy a loan secured by PNC Securities if the Securities were to be liquidated while the individual is aware of Inside Information or otherwise subject to the corporate Blackout Period described below.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The prohibitions in this Policy continues to apply to trades in Securities if an individual is in possession of Inside Information when their service with PNC terminates. That individual may not trade in the relevant Security until that information is no longer Inside Information.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• From time to time, the Corporate Ethics Office may impose additional or different restrictions on the Personal Investment Transactions of certain individuals subject to this Policy. You will be notified of any such additional restrictions.

*Avoidance of Conflicts of Interest in Connection with Personal Investment Transactions*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• In addition to the strict prohibition against insider trading and the misuse of Inside Information, all employees must avoid Personal Investment Transaction that create a conflict of interest. Although not an exhaustive list, the following are examples of potential conflicts of interest:

oInvestments in privately held entities with any business relationship with PNC.

oInvestments initiated by or subject to the discretion of other members of an employee's household.

oInvestment in entities that are Customers or Third Parties of PNC.

oMaking, holding, or disposing of an investment that may influence an employee's decisions when acting on behalf of PNC.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• In the following situations, which involve a Personal Investment Transaction in an employee's own or Immediate Family Member's account, an employee must obtain pre-clearance directly from the Corporate Ethics Office by submitting a Notification/Approval Form so a determination can be made of whether an actual or perceived conflict could arise from the Personal Investment Transaction:

oA Personal Investment Transaction, other than in a Managed Account, involving the Securities of any entity that is a PNC Customer or Third Party with which the employee, or to the best of the employee's knowledge, any employee under their supervision, expects to have or have had in the past 90 days, a significant business relationship on behalf of PNC.

oA transaction made available to an employee because of their position with PNC.

oA Personal Investment Transaction in a non-publicly traded Entity in which PNC also holds an equity interest (other than in a fiduciary or custodial capacity).

oOther Personal Investment Transactions for which the Corporate Ethics Office determines pre-clearance is necessary or appropriate.

oA Personal Investment Transaction where an employee has identified an actual or potential conflict of interest not otherwise identified in this Section.

*Additional Restrictions on Personal Investment Transactions of Restricted Employees*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Certain employees, designated as Restricted Employees by the Corporate Ethics Office, are subject to additional requirements, including pre-clearance and reporting of Personal Investment Transactions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **AN EMPLOYEE WILL BE NOTIFIED OF THE RESTRICTIONS RESULTING FROM THEIR DESIGNATION AS A RESTRICTED EMPLOYEE AS SET FORTH BELOW.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Corporate Ethics Office, along with Executive Management and the Control Room, designates each Restricted Employee and the restrictions that apply to the Restricted Employee. Some Restricted Employees are subject to reporting requirements related to certain Personal Investment Transactions. Others are subject to pre-clearance requirements. The Control Room will notify each Restricted Employee of their status and the applicable restrictions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Restricted Employees consent to (and will ensure their respective Immediate Family Members consent to) the reporting of these Personal Investment Transactions in any and all relevant Reportable Account. Upon the request of the Corporate Ethics Office, a Restricted Employee and their respective Immediate Family Members will execute appropriate documentation that may be required to evidence such consent. Restricted Employees and their respective Immediate Family Members understand and agree this information may be supplied not only to the PNC Corporate Ethics Office, but also to PNC's Third Party contractors assisting with the processing of such information.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Disclosure Requirements for Investment Accounts**

oRestricted Employees and their Immediate Family Members are subject to reporting requirements and must comply with the following related to Accounts (and other Security holdings). If an employee is informed the reporting requirements apply only to holdings of PNC Securities, then they will only be subject to the reporting requirements set forth below with respect to Accounts holding PNC Securities. Otherwise, they will be subject to these reporting requirements for all Accounts and all Personal Investment Transactions, except as indicated below.

Newly designated Restricted Employees must disclose the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• All existing Reportable Accounts including those of Immediate Family Members to the Control Room upon designation. This disclosure requirement includes investment Accounts that are maintained at Fidelity Investments containing PNC Securities (either vested or

![image_0a.jpg](image_0a.jpg)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Exhibit 19.1

non-vested) received as part of a compensation plan or through an employee stock purchase plan.

oAll such Restricted Employees and their Immediate Family Members must maintain their Accounts with a financial institution listed in Appendix 1. Deviations from this Financial Institutions List require the prior approval of the Corporate Ethics Office and will be granted only in limited circumstances. All transaction information for Accounts maintained with any of these institutions will be sent to the Employee Compliance Manager ("ECM") automated system in electronic format. As a result, manual reports or statements will not be required for such Accounts.

oIf a Restricted Employee's or Immediate Family Member's Account is approved to be maintained at a financial institution not listed in Appendix 1, the individual may be required to promptly arrange to have duplicate hardcopy or electronic monthly statements sent directly from the financial institution to the Control Room starting within 30 days.

While designated as a Restricted Employee, be aware of the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Promptly notify the Control Room of the opening of any new Accounts and the closing of any Accounts previously reported, including those of Immediate Family Members. Because prior approval may be required, employees must contact the Control Room before opening any new Account. This reporting requirement does not apply to Accounts maintained directly with a mutual fund provider, the holdings of which are exclusively mutual fund issuances of that provider's fund family.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Restricted Employees may also be required to complete and submit certifications as requested confirming the accuracy of their Reportable Accounts.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Personal Investment Transactions not executed through an Account (including private Security transactions) must be precleared prior to transacting. **Note: Pre-clearance via ECM may be required for such transactions.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Pre-clearance of Personal Investment Transactions**

oRestricted Employees subject to pre-clearance requirements and their Immediate Family Members will be required to comply with the following related to all Personal Investment Transactions:

**Pre-Clearance Required**. Restricted Employees subject to pre-clearance requirements and their Immediate Family Members (or such Restricted Employees on behalf of their Immediate Family Members) must obtain pre-clearance in the manner set forth below for all Personal Investment Transactions for which they have been informed they are required to obtain pre-clearance.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• For Personal Investment Transactions, pre-clearance may be obtained by entering the request into the ECM system. Pre-clearance is effective only for the day on which it is granted during market hours, i.e., 9:30 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. As a result, employees should request pre-clearance as early as possible on the day of their proposed transaction. There may also be additional preclearance steps involving certain Fidelity accounts holding PNC Securities including restricted stock units.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Further, only "day orders" are permissible. All transactions that extend beyond the day of preclearance, including certain limit orders, stop orders, good-til-cancelled orders, and variants thereof, are prohibited. If a preclearance is entered but the trade does not execute, the preclearance must be re-submitted the next market day prior to transacting. For Restricted Employees, pre-clearance of PNC Securities may require them to contact the Corporate Ethics Office. Restricted Employees will be notified by the Control Room on behalf of the Corporate Ethics Office if they are subject to this requirement. If Restricted Employees come into possession of Inside Information before executing any Personal Investment Transaction for which pre-clearance has been received, they must contact the Corporate Ethics Office and refrain from executing the transaction.

**Pre-clearance is not required for the following transactions** (some of which are not relevant to Restricted Employees not required to pre-clear all transactions or their Immediate Family Members).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Transactions executed in a Managed Account. To qualify for this exemption from pre-clearance, employees must provide the Corporate Ethics Office or the Control Room

with documentation evidencing a Third Party's investment discretion for the Account. In addition, Restricted Employees are prohibited from holding PNC Securities in any such Account, unless such Securities were acquired prior to employment with PNC. Contact the Corporate Ethics Office or the Control Room for additional details and requirements.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Transactions effected pursuant to a Trading Plan in PNC Securities approved, entered into and maintained in accordance with the Trading Plan protocols outlined in the Personal Trading Plans Under Rule 10b5-1 Section of this Policy. As provided in this Policy section, adopting, modifying or terminating any such Trading Plan does require pre-clearance. Such a plan will set forth in writing the conditions for future purchases, sales, or other transactions in PNC Securities even if those transactions would occur at a time when an employee is aware of Inside Information or during a Blackout Period. Contact the Corporate Ethics Office for more information.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Transactions in open-end mutual funds, iShares, unit investment trusts, ETFs and federal, state or local government or agency bonds or obligations. However, as set forth in the General Prohibitions Against Insider Trading and Misuse of Inside Information Section of this Policy, insider trading laws and PNC Policies prohibit all employees from trading based on Inside Information.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Acquisitions or dispositions of Securities through a stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, merger, consolidation, spin-off, or other similar corporate distribution or reorganization. However, a Restricted Employee should pre-clear before voting on such a transaction if shares of a new entity result.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Other transactions for which the Corporate Ethics Office or the Control Room determines pre-clearance is not required.

oNote: Some Restricted Employees and their Immediate Family Members may be subject to pre-clearance requirements related only to some of their Personal Investment Transactions. Restricted Employees will be informed if the pre-clearance requirements do not apply to all Personal Investment Transactions and, if so, which Personal Investment Transactions are subject to pre-clearance requirements. For example, pre-clearance requirements may apply only to transactions involving PNC Securities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Blackout Period**

oRestricted Employees subject to a requirement that they pre-clear transactions in PNC Securities (whether or not they are required to pre-clear transactions in any other Securities) and their Immediate Family Members are prohibited from purchasing, selling or gifting PNC Securities beginning the 16th day of the last month of each calendar quarter until the second business day after PNC releases its earnings results for that quarter (the "Blackout Period") or as otherwise instructed. Restricted Employees may be granted approval to exercise options granted by PNC (but not sell the shares issued on exercise) during the Blackout Period. Contact the Corporate Ethics Office for additional information.

oThe Corporate Ethics Office or PNC Legal may impose other trading restrictions on some or all Restricted Employees.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Prohibited Transactions by Restricted Employees**

oRestricted Employees and their Immediate Family Members may not hedge (including, for example, through a prepaid variable forward contract, equity swap, collar, or exchange fund) (1) any PNC Securities owned by them, or (2) any ETFs owned by them that invest primarily in banks.

oRestricted Employees and their Immediate Family Members may not pledge any PNC Securities owned by them as security for loans or other obligations, on margin or otherwise.

oIf a Restricted Employee or an Immediate Family Member has pledged any PNC Securities without having violated this prohibition in connection with entering into the pledge (for example, where the pledge was entered into prior to the employee being designated as a Restricted Employee), the Restricted Employee or Immediate Family Member will be permitted to retain the pledge subject to the following conditions:

The Restricted Employee, upon becoming subject to this prohibition with respect to a pledge of PNC Securities, promptly informs the Corporate Ethics Office of the existence and terms of the pledge; and

The Restricted Employee or Immediate Family Member unwinds or otherwise terminates the pledge within 12 months of the pledge becoming subject to this prohibition. The termination of the pledge will require pre-clearance and will be subject to Blackout Periods.

Because prior approval may be required, employees must contact the Control Room before opening any new Account. This reporting requirement does not apply to Accounts maintained directly with a mutual fund provider, the holdings of which are exclusively mutual fund issuances of that provider's fund family.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Monitored Employees may also be required to complete and submit certifications as requested confirming the accuracy of their Reportable Accounts.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Personal Investment Transactions not executed through an Account (including private Security transactions) must be precleared prior to transacting. **Note: Pre-clearance via ECM may be required for such transactions.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Pre-clearance of Personal Investment Transactions**

*Additional Restrictions on Personal Investment Transactions of PNC FSG Directors*

**Reporting Requirements**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• For any transaction requiring pre-clearance as set forth in this Section, PNC FSG Directors must provide copies of trade confirmations or relevant transaction documents to the PNC Corporate Secretary by no later than the end of the trading day.

**Pre-clearance of Personal Investment Transactions**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Pre-clearance Required**. Each PNC FSG Director and Immediate Family Member must pre-clear any Personal Investment Transaction involving PNC Securities and any other Security designated by the General Counsel or Corporate Secretary (or designee) as a Security that is subject to this Section (collectively, "Covered Securities"). Covered Securities do not include shares of mutual funds (whether managed by PNC or a Third Party), nor do they include shares of other professionally managed pooled investment vehicles (if managed by a Third Party). In addition, each PNC FSG Director and Immediate Family Member must pre-clear before entering into, modifying or terminating a Trading Plan relating to Personal Investment Transactions involving Covered Securities, and any such Trading Plan must conform to the requirements set forth in the Personal Trading Plans Under Rule 10b5-1 Section of this Policy.

oTo request the pre-clearance described above, a PNC FSG Director must contact the PNC Corporate Secretary (or designee).

oA pre-clearance request may be written or oral. The request should contain sufficient information to identify the Security, the proposed timing of the transaction, and a brief description of the transaction.

oThe PNC Corporate Secretary (or designee) will communicate the pre-clearance decision to the PNC FSG Director as promptly as practicable on the date of the proposed Personal Investment Transaction or the date a Trading Plan is entered into, modified or terminated.

oIf a PNC FSG Director receives pre-clearance to effect a transaction, the grant of pre-clearance is effective only until the close of business on that trading day (although settlement may occur at a later date).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Pre-clearance is not required for the following transactions:**

oPersonal Investment Transactions executed in a Managed Account.

To qualify for this pre-clearance exemption, a PNC FSG Director must provide the Corporate Secretary (or designee) with documentation evidencing an investment adviser's role in professionally managing such Managed Account. The Corporate Secretary (or Designee) may request certain documentation, such as a letter signed by the investment adviser and the PNC FSG Director, stating that neither the PNC FSG Director nor any of his or her Immediate Family Members will exercise or influence or attempt to exercise or influence trading or transactions in the Managed Account.

Covered Securities may not be held in any Managed Account unless such Covered Securities were acquired before joining the PNC Board of Directors. This prohibition must be communicated to the investment adviser when the Managed Account is established.

oPersonal Investment Transactions effected pursuant to a Trading Plan that has been approved, entered into and maintained in accordance with the Personal Trading Plans Under Rule 10b5-1 Section of this Policy.

oAcquisitions or dispositions of Covered Securities through a stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, merger, consolidation, spin-off, or other similar corporate distribution or reorganization. However, a PNC FSG Director should pre-clear before voting on such transaction if shares of a new entity result.

**Blackout Period**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• PNC FSG Directors and Immediate Family Members are prohibited from purchasing, selling or gifting PNC Securities during the regular Blackout Periods applicable generally to PNC's Restricted Employees, currently defined as the period of time beginning the 16th day of the last month of each calendar quarter until the second business day after PNC releases its earnings results for that quarter.

oHedge (including, for example, through a prepaid variable forward contract, equity swap, collar, or exchange fund) any PNC Securities or any ETFs owned by them that invest primarily in banks;

oEngage in Day Trading or Short Selling of PNC Securities;

oEngage in transactions in ETFs that invest primarily in banks that would be impermissible with respect to PNC Securities; or

oEngage in transactions in any derivatives of PNC Securities, including buying and writing options. This prohibition does not extend to permissible transactions in Securities issued under a PNC compensation plan.

*Personal Trading Plans Under Rule 10b5-1*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") provides an affirmative defense against a claim of insider trading if an insider's trades are made pursuant to a written plan that was adopted in good faith at a time when the insider was not aware of material nonpublic information. All Trading Plans must be adopted in good faith and not as part of a plan or scheme to evade the provisions of Rule 10b-5, and no subsequent influence may be exercised over how, when, or whether to effect transactions under the Trading Plan.

**Employee and Director Requirements (other than Restricted Employees and PNC FSG Directors)**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Any employee or director wishing to adopt a Trading Plan under Rule 10b5-1 must also follow the protocols set forth below:

oNo trade under a Trading Plan may take place for 30 days following the date on which the plan is adopted or modified. This restriction does not apply in circumstances where the only modification to the Trading Plan is to substitute a broker-dealer or other agent executing trades under the Trading Plan.

oDo not have outstanding or enter into more than one Trading Plan for transactions in any class of PNC Securities during the same period. Limited exclusions apply to this requirement, including for a series of Trading Plans with different broker-dealers or agents operating as a single Trading Plan, related to the adoption of a new Trading Plan that will begin trading after expiration of a current Trading Plan, and for

oOnly adopt one Trading Plan designed to effect a single transaction for the total amount of PNC Securities contemplated to be traded in such Trading Plan in any 12-month period, except additional single transaction Trading Plans may be adopted for "sell-to-cover" transactions for tax withholding purposes.

oAct in good faith with respect to the Trading Plan, including not taking actions after the adoption of the Trading Plan to benefit from Inside Information.

**PNC FSG Director and Restricted Employee Requirements**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Any PNC FSG Director (or their Immediate Family Member) or Restricted Employee (or their Immediate Family Member) wishing to adopt a Trading Plan under Rule 10b5-1 must also follow the protocols set forth below:

oThe Trading Plan must include a certification that, at the time of adopting the Trading Plan, the individual was not aware of any Inside Information regarding PNC or its Securities and the Trading Plan is being adopted in good faith and not as part of a plan or scheme to evade the provisions of Rule 10b-5.

oPNC Legal will review all standard forms of Trading Plan agreements prior to their adoption and acceptance by PNC. In addition, PNC Legal will review any Trading Plan agreements not using a previously approved standard form and any Trading Plan based on a previously approved standard form but incorporating non-standard provisions. The Corporate Ethics Office will review the terms of each Trading Plan prior to acceptance by PNC.

oBefore any Trading Plan is adopted, the individual must pre-clear the plan. Restricted Employees may pre-clear the plan by calling the Control Room. PNC FSG Directors (and their Immediate Family Members) may pre-clear the plan by contacting the Corporate Secretary. Pre-clearance is effective only for the day on which it is granted, and the employee must adopt the Trading Plan on the same day pre-clearance is granted.

oNo trade under a Trading Plan may take place until the later of: (1) 90 days after the adoption of the Trading Plan or (2) the second business day after PNC files its Form 10-Q or Form 10-K for the fiscal quarter in which the Trading Plan was adopted, subject to a maximum period of 120 days after adoption of the Trading Plan.

oEach Trading Plan must have an expiration date not less than six months after the date on which the Trading Plan is adopted, except to the extent that the Trading Plan only covers options that will expire in accordance with their terms less than six months after adoption of the Trading Plan.

oPNC Legal will review any proposed amendment to the terms of an existing Trading Plan. Any amendment other than to substitute a broker-dealer or other agent executing trades under the Trading Plan will be subject to pre-clearance in accordance with the third bullet point above and a delay in the effectiveness of the amendment as to trades for the time period specified in the fourth bullet point above.

oAlthough termination of a Trading Plan prior to any scheduled expiration under the terms of the plan should be avoided, if possible, individuals may do so in compliance with the following:

Any individual seeking to terminate a plan early must receive pre-clearance for the termination. This pre-clearance must follow the same process as was applicable for the adoption of the plan. The pre-clearance must be received on the effective date of the termination.

If an individual terminates a Trading Plan early, the individual may not:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Adopt a new Trading Plan covering the same shares or other units of PNC Securities for six months following termination.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Trade in PNC Securities for 20 trading days following termination.

oDo not have outstanding or enter into more than one Trading Plan for transactions in any class of PNC Securities during the same period.

You must contact the Corporate Ethics Office before relying on any of these exclusions.

oOnly adopt one Trading Plan designed to effect a single transaction for the total amount of PNC Securities contemplated to be traded in such Trading Plan in any 12-month period, except additional single transaction Trading Plans may be adopted for "sell-to-cover" transaction for tax withholding purposes.

oDo not trade in PNC Securities outside of a Trading Plan that would make it impossible to execute the trades provided for in an existing Trading Plan.

oAct in good faith with respect to the Trading Plan, including not taking actions after the adoption of the Trading Plan to benefit from Inside Information.

oIf the individual is required to report transactions in PNC Securities under Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the form filed to disclose a trade under the Trading Plan will identify the trade as having been made under a Trading Plan. PNC may make additional disclosure relating to such Trading Plans as it deems appropriate, including as required by regulatory authorities.

oFuture modifications to these protocols will be applicable to any then outstanding Trading Plans.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Any trades by PNC in PNC Securities, or the entry into any binding contract, specific instruction or written plan to trade in PNC Securities, will be pre-cleared in advance with Senior Management in a manner designed to prevent trading by PNC while in possession of Inside Information regarding PNC.

![image_0.jpg](image_0.jpg)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Exhibit 19.2

THE PNC FINANCIAL SERVICES GROUP, INC.

Information Barrier and Handling of Inside Information Policy

<u>Applies To</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Information Barrier and Handling of Inside Information Policy ("Policy") applies to PNC Corporate and Institutional Banking ("CIB"), a Lines of Business ("LOBs") ("Lines of Business ("LOBs")") within The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. ("PNC"), the Commercial Asset Team of PNC ("CAT"), and the Asset and Liability Management ("ALM") function of PNC.

<u>Overview and Purpose</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The federal securities laws, including Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, prohibit trading in Security on the basis of Inside Information and in violation of a duty to the owner of the information. There is a legal presumption that, when one part of an institution is in possession of Inside Information about an issuer of Securities, any purchase or sale of such Securities by any of the institutions' Employees (whether on behalf of the institution or for their own account) is "on the basis of" such Inside Information. This presumption can be overcome by demonstrating that the institution has in place reasonable Policies, Procedures, processes, and controls that serve as information barriers designed to prevent trading on the basis of Inside Information.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Additionally, PNC may not engage in any activity subject to an exemption from the prohibitions of the Volcker Rule (section 13 of the Bank Holding Company Act and the implementing regulations thereunder) if such activity will involve or result in a material conflict of interest between PNC and its Affiliates, customer, or counterparty. As a result, PNC must establish policies, procedures, processes, and controls that serve as Information Barriers designed to avoid material conflicts of interest. In order to strongly rebut even an inference that any trading by the business segments or Employees subject to this Policy is on the basis of Inside Information and to mitigate material conflicts of interest that might impact the availability of exemptions from the prohibitions of the Volcker Rule, this Policy establishes:

oA general need to know policy to limit the distribution of Inside Information

oThe PNC information barrier (defined below), which helps to prevent the transmission of Inside Information between Public Side and Private-Side businesses

oReporting and monitoring mechanisms to ensure that the PNC information barrier is performing effectively

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• This Policy supports, aligns with and is governed by the Enterprise Compliance Risk Policy and the Ethics and Conduct Insider Trading Policy.

![image_0.jpg](image_0.jpg)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Exhibit 19.2

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• This Policy governs and is further supported by the following documents:

oCorporate and Institutional Banking ('CIB') Handling of Inside Information Procedure

oRealty Review Desktop Procedures

<u>Misuse of Inside Information</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The PNC Code of Business Conduct & Ethics (the "Code") and the Ethics and Conduct Insider Trading Policy strictly prohibit insider trading and any misuse of Inside Information obtained in connection with service at PNC. Employees are also prohibited from disclosing Inside Information to those who trade in Securities on behalf of PNC (sometimes referred to as "tipping") or using Inside Information as a basis for recommending the purchase or sale of a Security. Even among Private-Side Employees, Inside Information received by PNC Employees during their employment must only be shared with other PNC Employees or authorized Third Parties (e.g., attorneys, auditors) who have a need to know the information to advance PNC's legitimate business interests. Business segments subject to this Policy must implement Policies and Procedures related to topics such as: physical segregation of Public- and Private-Side business segments; limiting access to electronic systems where Inside Information is stored; and limiting distribution of committee materials that include Inside Information.

<u>Information Barrier</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• This Policy establishes an information barrier (the "PNC Information Barrier") designed to ensure that Inside Information in the possession of Private-Side business segments is not intentionally or inadvertently communicated to any Public-Side Employee(s) unless the Public-Side Employee(s) have been brought "over the wall." The PNC Information Barrier separates all Private-Side business segments from all Public-Side business segments and PNC Employees are prohibited from communicating any Inside Information across the PNC Information Barrier unless pursuant to a "Wall Crossing" procedure. In addition, certain Private-Side business segments may be subject to additional Policies and/or Procedures that further segregate them from other Private-Side businesses and Public-Side businesses may be walled off from one another. To support the PNC Information Barrier, Private-Side business segments that regularly receive Inside Information in the ordinary course of business and all Public-Side business segments must work with the Control Room (part of Enterprise Compliance), Legal and their respective First Line of Defense ("1LOD") Compliance and/or risk officer(s) to develop Policies, Procedures, and practices addressing the following:

oPhysical segregation of the Public and Private Sides

oSegregation of electronic documents containing Inside Information

Last Updated: 01/17/2026

![image_0.jpg](image_0.jpg)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Exhibit 19.2

oCommunications between Private-Side and Public-Side Employees when the Private-Side is not in possession of any Inside Information relevant to the communications

oCommunications between Private-Side and Public-Side Employees when the Private-Side is in possession of Inside Information relevant to the communications but does not wish to share the Inside Information with the Public Side

oCommunications between Private-Side and Public-Side Employees when the Private Side intends to share Inside Information with the Public Side (i.e., "Wall Crossings")

<u>Reporting to the Control Room</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• In order to monitor the effectiveness of the PNC Information Barrier, Employees subject to this Policy must alert the Control Room any time they receive, or expect to receive, Inside Information. Business segments that receive Inside Information on a regular basis in the ordinary course of business must develop Procedures for Control Room reporting.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• To comply with regulatory obligations applicable to registered broker-dealers and registered investment advisers and to further monitor for potential breaches of the PNC Information Barrier, certain Employees subject to this Policy are required to identify any and all Employee and Employee-related securities accounts they own, control or have a beneficial interest in. The Control Room maintains a list of the business segments whose Employees are subject to personal trade monitoring and each such business segment must implement Policies and/or Procedures defining the kinds of Employee and Employee-related accounts that must be monitored and the manner in which information regarding such accounts will be communicated to the Control Room.

Information Barrier and Handling of Inside Information Policy

Defined Terms

**<u>Affiliate</u>:** "Affiliate" means any company that is included in the PNC Affiliate List maintained by Regulatory Reporting. *Employees may refer to additional details in the Policy and Governance Application ("PGA") Glossary.*

**<u>First Line of Defense ("1LOD")</u>:** Any organizational unit or function that that creates and owns risk through its activities and meets one the following criteria: (i) engages in activities designed to generate revenue or reduce expense; (ii) provides operational support or services to any organizational unit or function within PNC in the delivery of products or services; or (iii) provides technology services to any organizational unit or function. Lines of Business (LOBs) and Support Areas are considered to be within the first line of defense. The terms First Line of Defense and Front Line Unit may be used interchangeably.

**<u>Inside Information</u>:** Information that (a) relates to a Public Issuer, such as information about its business operations or Securities, that a reasonable investor would consider important in determining whether to buy, sell, or hold such Securities; and (b) has not been disclosed to the public. To show that information has been disclosed to the public, there must be evidence that it is widely disseminated. Information generally would be considered widely disseminated if it has been disclosed, for example, on the Dow Jones broad tape, news wire services such as AP or Reuters, in newspapers or magazines of general circulation, in public disclosure documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, such as prospectuses, proxy statements, and periodic reports, or on the Public Issuer's website (if under circumstances reasonably designed to provide a broad, non-exclusionary distribution of the information to the public). Public dissemination of rumors or speculation does not by itself cause information that would otherwise be Inside Information to be treated as having been disclosed publicly, even if the rumors or speculation are accurate. It is impossible to provide a complete list of Inside Information, but Inside Information may include, in each case prior to its public disclosure:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Financial reports or projections, including for municipal issuers, tax revenue projections, or other information about a Public Issuer's financial condition;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Information about current, proposed, or contemplated transactions, business plans, financial restructuring, or acquisition targets;

THE PNC FINANCIAL SERVICES GROUP, INC.

Control Room Procedure for Detecting and Preventing the Misuse of Material Nonpublic Information by Employees Trading PNC Securities

**Applies To:**

This procedure applies to the PNC Control Room ("CR"), part of the Corporate Ethics Office ("Ethics"), which supports The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. ("PNC") by:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Managing the information barrier program;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Performing personal trade monitoring of designated individuals; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Administering the corporate preclearance processes and preparing the associated Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") form filings for PNC insiders (i.e., Executive Officers and Board of Directors).

**Purpose:**

This procedure outlines CR processes in place to detect and prevent employee trading in PNC Securities based upon material nonpublic information ("MNPI") related to PNC, which is prohibited by Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and SEC Rule 10b5-1 thereunder, and Section 204A of the Investment Advisors Act of 1940.

**Procedure:**

CR processes described in this procedure are specific to preventative measures related to employee trading in PNC Securities. The primary system used for performing these functions is the Employee Compliance Manager ("ECM"), a Third-Party, vendor-hosted trade surveillance system.

**A.Preclearance Processes for PNC Trades**

**1.*Executive Approval for Corporate Restricted Employees to Trade PNC Securities Each Market Day PNC is Not in Blackout***

*Identifying Corporate Restricted Employees*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.1.Employees are designated in ECM by "class," i.e., a mechanism for categorizing and imposing personal trading rules to different types of employees, by CR, in partnership with Ethics, depending on the scope of MNPI to which their roles may give them access.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.1.1.Class 1 – Have access to MNPI about PNC and PNC's publicly traded clients. Must preclear all Securities (with certain exceptions noted in the Ethics and Conduct Insider Trading Policy (the "Insider Trading Policy")) and disclose all accounts. All Class 1 employees are subject to the blackout period ("Blackout"). Section 16 executives are included among the Class 1 employees.

Last Updated: 02/12/2026

![image_0.jpg](image_0.jpg)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Exhibit 19.3

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.1.2.Class 2 – Have access to MNPI about PNC. Must preclear only PNC Securities (note exceptions in the Insider Trading Policy) and disclose all accounts holding PNC Securities. All Class 2 employees are subject to Blackout.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.1.3.Specific Class 3 Employees – Certain PNC Capital Markets LLC ("PNCCM") licensed employees are also held to corporate restricted standards, i.e., disclosing all accounts and preclearing all trades and prohibited from trading PNC Securities during Blackout because PNCCM often underwrites PNC Securities. When PNCCM is serving as underwriter for PNC, CR adds PNC to the PNCCM Restricted List (i.e., prohibiting PNCCM employee personal trading in PNC Securities) as is done for any other PNCCM client in this circumstance. In addition, employees reporting to Section 16 executives within certain segments are also considered Class 3 employees and subject to the same Blackout restrictions.

Collectively, these employees are considered "Corporate Restricted Employees."

*Confirming Permissibility for Corporate Restricted Employees to Trade*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.2.Each market day when PNC is not in Blackout and prior to market opening, CR sends an email to the Chief Risk Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and Deputy General Counsel (the "Approving Executives") requesting approval for Corporate Restricted Employees to trade PNC Securities. The Chief Ethics Officer may serve as an alternate approver in lieu of an Approving Executive, if needed.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.3.This approval serves as "blanket" approval. CR must wait for all approvals to be received. Each member will respond affirmatively or inform CR that approval cannot be given at this time. Corporate Restricted Employees cannot trade PNC Securities until CR receives all three responses. CR will follow up as needed to obtain replies.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.4.Once blanket approval has been received, CR will send a confirmation email to certain contacts in the PNC Legal Department ("PNC Legal"), notifying them that trading in PNC Securities is permitted. During Blackout, Corporate Restricted Employees may not trade PNC Securities. Thus, CR does not send the approval request at such times.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.5. *Special Circumstances*: Periodically, Approving Executives may request to review PNC Securities preclearance submissions individually, as opposed to granting a daily blanket approval. They may not provide a specific reason for doing so in order to protect sensitive company information.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.5.1.In past cases of this nature, Approving Executives have requested that all Corporate Restricted Employees' previous six months of PNC Securities activity be provided for individual review or have compiled and distributed a list of individuals whose preclearance

Last Updated: 02/12/2026

------

![image_0.jpg](image_0.jpg)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Exhibit 19.3

requests for PNC Securities will require individual review (all other Corporate Restricted Employees that are not on the list can be approved provided the other conditions are met).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.5.2.If Approving Executives review and deny an individual from trading PNC Securities, adhere to the following guidelines:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.5.2.1.All denials are to be explained as follows, unless Approving Executives request otherwise:

"Unfortunately, you are currently precluded from trading in PNC Securities due to information that you may know or may be deemed to know. I apologize for the inconvenience. Please contact the Control Room with any questions or concerns."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.5.2.2.Corporate Restricted Employees should not be told ANY specifics of why they are not able to trade. This includes whether there is MNPI related to PNC or the nature of such information (e.g., regulatory news).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.5.2.3.Corporate Restricted Employees should not be made aware that any other individual has, or has not, been precleared to trade.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.5.2.4.Should questions persist, CR should direct the individual to contact the Chief Risk Officer and either the General Counsel or the Deputy General Counsel of Corporate and Securities with any questions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.5.2.5.Once an employee is denied preclearance:

oCR may not advise any individual that is denied preclearance when they will be able to trade until the trading restriction is lifted.

oDuring such periods, CR will track all denied preclearances and may also be asked to provide reporting on these employees to Approving Executives.

oOnce CR is informed the restriction is lifted, CR will then notify the tracked individuals and advise that the preclearance may be re-entered for consideration.

**2.*Corporate Restricted Employee Preclearance***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.1.Employees are to manually enter their own preclearance requests in ECM. CR staff can enter a preclearance on behalf of an employee in extenuating

Last Updated: 02/12/2026

![image_0.jpg](image_0.jpg)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Exhibit 19.3

circumstances (i.e., system is down at their location, employee is traveling and without system access, etc.). Manual Preclearance Routing: All preclearance requests involving PNC Securities route for manual review and approval by CR:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.1.1.Employee enters the trade details for the intended PNC Securities transaction on the preclearance screen and then answers a series of questions to affirm they are not acting upon PNC MNPI. (See Appendix for extract of questions.)

The system is set up to flag any PNC Securities trading for manual review by CR. This is designed to help ensure that there is no Short Selling or options trading in PNC Securities during the preclearance process, which would result in a denial.

System notifies CR via email when a preclearance is available for review so that responses are timely.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.1.2.Employee will see the following message displayed on the Preclearance Entry screen – "PreClearance submitted. Your Pre-Clearance request has been submitted and requires further review by the Compliance Department. You will be notified of the approval or denial via email. For validation results please check Transaction id – xxxxxx."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.1.3.CR staff must access pending preclearance requests via the "Preclearances Needing Approval (Today)" link on the ECM Dashboard:

**\*\*\*Monitor the Dashboard continuously throughout the day, since employees need to be approved prior to trading\*\*\***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.2.Review the requestor's responses to the questions and ensure they are satisfactory, i.e., no "Yes" answers.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.2.1.If any of the answers are unsatisfactory, contact the employee to make sure they did not mistakenly answer the question incorrectly. If they made a mistake, cancel the request and ask them to re-enter a new request with the correct response. If they did mean to answer "Yes," request that the employee send an email to CR detailing their reason for their answer. CR takes the employee's response to the Chief Ethics Officer and Chief General Counsel, if needed, for a final review and decision.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.2.2.Once the employee's responses to the questions are determined to be satisfactory and the previous review steps are completed, the preclearance may be approved. To do so, click "Update" next to the preclearance. Detail the steps taken in the review of the preclearance and how the request passed each step of the review. Once the explanation is completed, click "Approve."

![image_0.jpg](image_0.jpg)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Exhibit 19.3

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.3.An approval email will generate to the Corporate Restricted Employee, who can now work with their financial advisor to execute the trade.

**3.*Preclearance for Section 16 Executives Officers Transacting PNC Securities***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.1.Email preclearance questions to the Section 16 individual requesting responses, unless they have already answered through the ECM system or over the phone.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.2.Review and compile the executive's transaction history of trades involving PNC Securities and recent filings within the past 6 months. CR will work with PNC Legal for instructions if there are any opposite way transactions that would be subject to the short-swing profit liability rule, Rule 16(b).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.3.Once the executive's responses are received, send an email to the Approving Executives requesting preclearance approval for the executive. (Note: Use an alternate if one of the Approving Executives is trading.)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.3.1.Include: 1) the details of the proposed trade, 2) the executive's 6-month transaction history of trades involving PNC Securities, and 3) the executive's responses to the preclearance questions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.3.2.CR must receive approval from the Approving Executives to proceed. If one of the Approving Executives is not available to approve, or if the preclearance is for one of them, contact the Chief Ethics Officer to serve as an alternate approver.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.3.3.Email the Executive Compensation Manager and Associate to ensure the Section 16 individual seeking preclearance will remain within their stock ownership threshold after placing their trade. If the trade will put the Section 16 individual outside their required threshold, that message must be delivered by Executive Compensation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.3.4.Once all internal approvals are received, notify the executive (and/or their advisor, if CR has been contacted) of the approval to permit the executive to transact.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.3.5.If the transaction will occur in a Fidelity account, create a new Fidelity preclearance template evidencing preclearance approval, and send this to the Fidelity Executive Services team.

**4.*Preclearance for Board of Directors Transacting PNC Securities***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.1.CR does not communicate directly with directors, as they are non-employees. If a director wants to trade PNC Securities, he/she will contact the Corporate Secretary's Office ("CSO"). CSO will then notify CR regarding the director's request to trade.

Last Updated: 02/12/2026

![image_0.jpg](image_0.jpg)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Exhibit 19.3

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.2.CSO will interact with the director to complete the preclearance process, including posing the preclearance questions. CSO will inform CR of the director's preclearance answers.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.3.CR will then follow the steps outlined in Sections 3.2 and 3.3 to obtain the appropriate approvals and trade history.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.4.CR will inform CSO of approval, and CSO will contact the director to communicate that the trade may proceed.

**5.*Complete Associated SEC Form Filings***

CR drafts SEC forms, submits the forms to CSO for review, and files SEC forms after an insider transacts.

**B.Blackout Period – Notifying and Imposing PNC Trading Blackout Restrictions**

**1.*Notifying Corporate Restricted Employees of Quarterly Blackout Timing***

Blackout occurs as of the 16th day of the last month of each calendar quarter until the second business day after PNC releases its earnings results for the previous quarter. During this time, employees are prohibited from purchasing, selling, gifting, transferring, and pledging PNC Securities.

CR delivers a notification related to the beginning and end of Blackout (blind carbon copying all Corporate Restricted Employees) approximately one week prior to Blackout commencement and conclusion.

**2.*Imposing and Lifting Blackout Rules in ECM System***

CR updates ECM after 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time the day before Blackout begins so that PNC Securities are restricted from trading. This ensures that should a Corporate Restricted Employee attempt to submit a preclearance for PNC Securities, it would be automatically denied at entry. Further, the transaction would flag next day as a restricted list violation should the Corporate Restricted Employee trade PNC Securities during Blackout without preclearing.

CR then lifts the restriction after 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time the day before the Blackout period ends to allow trading the following market day.

**C.Review PNC Securities Trading in ECM**

The CR staff regularly reviews PNC Securities transactions that have flagged in the ECM system. Potential instances of policy violations are escalated to the appropriate group (Ethics and Employee Relations) for further investigation and decisioning. This is done to identify trading activity that may violate Securities law obligations, PNC's Code of Business Conduct and Ethics and/or other requirements. Evidence of the review is maintained in the CR Shared Drive.

![image_0.jpg](image_0.jpg)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Exhibit 19.3

**1.*Escalation Process***

If any transactions are identified in which there is potential evidence that the individual received confidential information or MNPI about PNC prior to effecting the trade will be reported to the CR Manager, or designee for further consideration and decision whether:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.1.The trade can be dismissed based on staff findings, with no additional action required, as appropriate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.2.The applicable compliance First Line of Defense ("1LOD") representative of the entity, Corporate Ethics Office, and PNC Legal, as necessary, to determine if the trade can be dismissed, or if further due diligence is needed.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.2.1.If, after such discussions, any trade is deemed to be indicative of potential insider trading, the matter shall be escalated to the Chief Ethics Officer to open a formal investigation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.2.2.In addition, any other appropriate regulatory notification, such as FINRA reporting, will be pursued in coordination with CR, PNC Legal, Ethics and 1LOD.

**D.Information Barrier - Floor Plan Review to Ensure Separation Between Public and Private Employees**

**1.*Background***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.1Definitions

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.1.1"Public" employees face public Securities markets but do not come into contact with MNPI in the execution of their normal job functions. PNC Public-Side employees include, but are not limited to, Asset Management Group, PNC Investments, PNC Capital Markets Sales and Trading, etc.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.1.2"Private" employees come into contact with MNPI due to interacting with publicly traded companies in their daily routines. PNC Private-Side employees include, but are not limited to, Debt Capital Markets, Business Credit, etc.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.1.3"Other" employees neither come into contact with MNPI nor interact with a public Securities market in their roles. PNC "other" employees include, but are not limited to, Retail bank personnel.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.2Realty Services Role: Corporate Workplace Planning ("CWP" or "Realty Services") staff is required to submit their projects to CR for review and approval. CWP typically submits project materials to CR in phases,

Last Updated: 02/12/2026

------

![image_0.jpg](image_0.jpg)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Exhibit 19.3

beginning with a roster of impacted employees, followed by a floor plan indicating the placement of businesses and segments at the location, and a final "Names-to-Seats" diagram with employee names.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.3CR Role: CR staff prepare and escalate, as needed, realty project plan evaluations by reviewing location rosters and floor plans to determine employees' public/private designation, obligations, and appropriateness of seat assignment, including consulting with other disciplines as necessary, when site changes are proposed by Realty Services, to maintain effective physical information barriers between Public- and Private-Side employees, as well as fiduciary records separation. Realty project plan lists, materials analyzed, and review grids are stored on the CR Shared Drive.

**2.*Process***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.1CR Roster Review:

CR identifies and notes on the roster each employee's designation as public, private, or other using the data in the roster, in conjunction with PNC's Public and Private Designations chart (Reference: *Realty Project Review Job Aid*). CR searches for each employee ECM to determine if the employee is monitored.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.1.1If monitored, note in the roster the employee's ECM Corporate Entity, Class, and any access groups or other coding, all of which can indicate the personal trading obligations that apply to that employee or the regulator with jurisdiction, such as whether the employee is a fiduciary or licensed.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.1.2If the employee is not found in ECM, notate the employee as "Not Monitored."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.1.3If there are questions, consult with the CR Manager or designee and 1LOD or Second Line of Defense personnel, as needed. Also, consult the PNC intraweb to see the employee's supervisory hierarchy and other information about the employee's role.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.2Floor Plan Review

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.2.1CR reviews floor plan to ensure physical separation between employees on opposite sides of the information barrier, preferably with Private-Side employees behind walls when possible.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.2.2When physical separation is not possible due to office size or other constraints, recommend alternative methods including effective management of employee pathways and shared resources (common areas and printers) and placing Private-Side employees in offices, rather than cubicles. As necessary, CR may recommend other remediation measures, e.g., moving employees or constructing walls, although the latter requires additional

![image_0.jpg](image_0.jpg)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Exhibit 19.3

consultation with the CR Manager and CWP for consideration of costs and timing.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.3Special Circumstances

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.3.1 *Legacy Conditions*: A legacy condition exists at a location when Public- and Private-Side employees are already co-located, independent of the current CWP project. Nevertheless, CR may approve a project without correcting the entirety of the legacy condition, *if* the changes do not introduce any *additional* information barrier risk to the site and the project is tracked on the "Legacy List" so that it can be addressed by CWP at a later date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.3.2 *Expansion Projects*: The purpose is to analyze estimated employee counts and/or growth projections for markets beyond the current PNC footprint in a manner similar to a roster review, but without actual employee data. Most, if not all, figures provided for an expansion project are hypothetical; actual hiring practices may change the profile of the site. Include in the analysis a request for the project to be re-submitted at a later date and coordinate with CWP.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.4Summary of CR Analysis

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.4.1CR summarizes its findings in a review grid that is distributed via email to CWP, and others such as the 1LOD or PNC Legal, if circumstances warrant. Generally, the review grid includes impacted businesses and employees; CR comments, findings, and recommendations; and the project status, including whether it is approved or if more information is needed in order to make a determination.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.4.2All materials, correspondence and tracking spreadsheets are maintained in the realty project folder on the CR Shared Drive. Certain documentation is also maintained on CWP's SharePoint site.
