NET INTEREST MARGIN

The net interest margin was 3.00% for 2007 and 2.92% for 2006. The following factors impacted the comparison:

   

The Mercantile acquisition.

   

The yield on interest-earning assets increased 35 basis points. The yield on loans, the single largest component, increased 31 basis points.

   

These factors were partially offset by an increase in the rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities of 25 basis points. The rate paid on interest-bearing deposits, the single largest component, increased 22 basis points.

   

The impact of noninterest-bearing sources of funding decreased 2 basis points in 2007 compared with the prior year.

Comparing yields and rates paid to the broader market, the average federal funds rate was 5.03% during 2007 compared with 4.96% for 2006.

We believe that net interest margins for our industry will continue to be impacted by competition for high quality loans and deposits and customer migration from lower to higher rate deposit or other products. We expect our net interest margin to improve slightly in 2008 compared with 2007, assuming our current expectations for interest rates and economic conditions.

NET INTEREST MARGIN

The net interest margin was 2.92% in 2006 compared with 3.00% for 2005, an 8 basis point decline. The following factors contributed to the decline in net interest margin in 2006:

   

An increase in the average rate paid on interest-bearing deposits of 104 basis points for 2006 compared with the 2005 period. The average rate paid on money market accounts, the largest single component of interest-bearing deposits, increased 111 basis points.

   

An increase in the average rate paid on borrowed funds of 147 basis points for 2006 compared with 2005.

By comparison, the yield on interest-earning assets increased only 81 basis points. Loans, the single largest component, increased 83 basis points.

   

These factors were partially offset by the favorable impact on net interest margin in 2006 of an increase of 20 basis points related to noninterest-bearing sources of funding.

The average federal funds rate for 2006 was 4.97% compared with 3.21% for 2005.

We believe that net interest margins for our industry will continue to be challenged if the yield curve remains flat or inverted, as competition for loans and deposits remains intense, as customers continue to migrate from lower cost to higher cost deposits or other products and as the benefit of adding investment securities is diminished.

From PNC’s perspective, we believe that net interest income will increase and net interest margin will remain relatively stable in 2007 compared with 2006. However, due to seasonal factors in the first quarter of the year, we expect that our net interest margin will be pressured and that our net interest income will be relatively flat for the first quarter of 2007. These projections are based on assumptions underlying our most likely net interest income scenario, which may change over time.
