(NYSE: PNC) today reported net income of $381 million, or $1.28 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2006, compared with net income of $282 million, or 98 cents per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2005 and net income of $354 million, or $1.19 per diluted share, in the prior quarter. For the first six months of 2006, the company earned net income of $735 million, or $2.47 per diluted share, compared with net income of $636 million, or $2.22 per diluted share, for the first six months of 2005, an increase of 16 percent and 11 percent respectively.
