| We compete every day and we have good customer service and great products, we'll be a net beneficiary |
| Importantly, as lower rate securities and swaps roll off, we expect our securities yield to continue to increase, resulting in a meaningful improvement to tangible book value from AOCI accretion |
| First, in a challenging operating environment, we generated 3 points of positive operating leverage through disciplined expense management |
| Our credit quality remained strong during the quarter, reflecting our thoughtful approach to managing risk, customer selection, and long-term relationship development, all of which have historically served us well in challenging economic cycles |
| Next, we strengthened our capital and liquidity positions even further during the quarter |
| As a result, we generated 3% positive operating leverage, and PPNR grew 9% |
| As you can see on the slide, we delivered strong results in the third quarter, generating $1.6 billion in net income, or $3.60 in diluted earnings per share |
| In summary, PNC reported a solid third quarter 2023 |
| That being said, we're well positioned to comply with the proposals as drafted |
| We believe these actions will position PNC for stronger efficiency going forward |
| And we generated 3% positive operating leverage on both the year-to-date and the linked-quarter basis |
| De minimis expense is involved with it, and we're excited about it |
| This acquisition is financially attractive given the purchase price of 99% of par and the high credit quality of the portfolio |
| And we remain well capitalized with an estimated CET1 ratio of 9.8% as of September 30, 2023, which increased 30 basis points linked quarter |
| And we leveraged our strong balance sheet to take advantage of opportunities such as the Signature Bank loans that we recently acquired |
| While decisions involving personnel are never easy, we believe they will help us more effectively and efficiently deliver for our customers and our stakeholders, and we'll continue to be diligent in our expense management going forward |
| From a capital perspective, we're well positioned with a CET1 ratio of 9.8% as of September 30 |
| For the first nine months of 2023, revenue grew 5% compared to the same period a year ago, reflecting higher interest rates and business growth |
| While we continue to monitor discussions regarding regulatory changes in these areas, based on our current estimates, we are well positioned to meet the proposed requirements without meaningful changes to how we operate |
| We believe the acquisition will enhance our broader efforts in the private equity sponsor industry |
| Our CIP efforts over the years have allowed us to substantially invest in our company while still delivering low single digit annual expense growth |
| So, it's actually a good thought |
| We increased our Continuous Improvement goal last quarter from $400 million to $450 million, and we are on track to achieve that goal in 2023 |
| My guess was that the trading line item was better than peer fees |
| One of your larger peers reported stronger capital markets this morning |
| Noninterest expense grew 2% and was well controlled despite a higher FDIC assessment rate and inflationary pressures |
| Our Continuous Improvement Program has been in place for over a decade, and through this program we've utilized expense savings to fund our ongoing business growth and technology investments |
| However, tangible book value increased to $78.16 per common share as retained earnings growth exceeded the negative impact of AOCI |
| And as of September 30, our cumulative deposit beta was 41%, which was slightly better than our July expectation |
| Rob Reilly And that's a program that we've had in place, as I mentioned, for several years, and allows us to -- and has allowed us to grow annual expenses in the low single-digit range, even with all those investments |

| In fact, in the third quarter, the actuals came in lower than what we expected for the first time since rates have been increasing rapidly |
| And our net interest margin was 2.71%, a decline of 8 basis points |
| Third quarter revenue was down $60 million, or 1%, compared with the second quarter |
| So, they came in weaker than expected this quarter |
| Net interest income of $3.4 billion decreased $92 million or 3%, as higher yields on interest earning assets were more than offset by increased funding costs |
| M&A advisory activity continued to remain softer in the third quarter despite robust pipelines |
| Other noninterest income of $94 million declined $35 million linked quarter, driven by lower private equity revenue and included negative Visa fair value adjustments totaling $51 million |
| In regard to our view of the overall economy, we're expecting a mild recession starting in the first half of 2024, with a contraction in real GDP of less than 1% |
| We had a soft second quarter |
| Commercial loans averaged $218 billion, a decline of $5.5 billion, driven by lower utilization as well as paydowns outpacing new production |
| Total revenue of $5.2 billion decreased $60 million, or 1%, compared to the second quarter of 2023 |
| Partially offsetting this, capital markets and advisory revenue decreased $45 million, or 21%, driven by lower trading revenue |
| Net interest income to be down 1% to 2% |
| We've seen some drop in utilization |
| Recall, in the third quarter, we had expected 3% to 5% decline |
| At quarter-end, AOCI was a negative $10.3 billion compared to a negative $9.5 billion at June 30, reflecting higher interest rates |
| I guess just in the last few weeks, there's been a couple commercial hiccups in the industry in the shared national credit space |
| What's new is basically dropping the run rate related to personnel and just tightening the ship and what is it a tougher revenue environment |
| However, the current environment poses meaningful pressures necessitating expense control measures beyond our annual CIP program |
| And everybody's been wrong so far |
