Total revenue | $ 6,071 | $ 5,915 | $ 5,567 | 3 % | 9 % | ||
Total revenue for the fourth quarter of 2025 increased $156 million compared to the third quarter of 2025 and $504 million compared to the fourth quarter of 2024, driven by growth in both net interest income and noninterest income in each period.
Net interest income of $3.7 billion increased $83 million from the third quarter of 2025 and $208 million from the fourth quarter of 2024. In both comparisons, the increase included the impact of lower funding costs, loan growth and the continued benefit of fixed rate asset repricing.
Net interest margin was 2.84% in the fourth quarter of 2025, increasing 5 basis points and 9 basis points from the third quarter of 2025 and fourth quarter of 2024, respectively, reflecting the benefit of fixed rate asset repricing.

Noninterest income for the fourth quarter of 2025 increased $73 million, or 3%, compared with the third quarter of 2025. Asset management and brokerage fees increased $7 million driven by higher average equity markets and increased client activity. Capital markets and advisory revenue increased $57 million primarily due to an increase in merger and acquisition advisory activity. Lending and deposit services increased $7 million and included higher loan commitment fees. Residential and commercial mortgage revenue decreased $13 million driven by lower residential mortgage servicing rights valuation, net of economic hedge. Other noninterest income increased $19 million reflecting higher private equity revenue, partially offset by negative $41 million of Visa derivative adjustments primarily due to litigation escrow funding. Visa derivative adjustments were negative $35 million in the third quarter of 2025.
Noninterest income for the fourth quarter of 2025 increased $296 million, or 14%, from the fourth quarter of 2024. Fee income increased $254 million, or 14%, reflecting strong momentum across all business lines and fee income categories.

In both comparisons, the increase was driven by increased business activity. Compared to the third quarter of 2025, the increase also reflected the impact of seasonality.

Average consumer loans were stable compared to the third quarter of 2025 as growth in both the auto and credit card loan portfolios was offset by declines in residential real estate loans. In comparison to the fourth quarter of 2024, average consumer loans decreased due to declines in residential real estate loans, partially offset by growth in the auto loan portfolio.

PNC maintained a strong capital position. Common shareholders' equity at December 31, 2025 increased $1.6 billion from September 30, 2025 due to net income and an improvement in accumulated other comprehensive income, partially offset by dividends paid and share repurchases.
As a Category III institution, PNC has elected to exclude accumulated other comprehensive income related to both available-for-sale securities and pension and other post-retirement plans from CET1 capital. Accumulated other comprehensive income of negative $3.4 billion at December 31, 2025 improved from negative $4.1 billion at September 30, 2025 and negative $6.6 billion at December 31, 2024. The change in each comparison reflected the favorable impact of interest rate movements on securities and swaps and the continued accretion of unrealized losses.
In the fourth quarter of 2025, PNC returned $1.1 billion of capital to shareholders, reflecting $0.7 billion of dividends on common shares and $0.4 billion of common share repurchases. The Stress Capital Buffer (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.
Share repurchase activity in the first quarter of 2026 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 to be paid on February 5, 2026 to shareholders of record at the close of business January 20, 2026.
At December 31, 2025, PNC was considered "well capitalized" based on applicable U.S. regulatory capital ratio requirements. For additional information regarding PNC's Basel III capital ratios, see Capital Ratios in the Consolidated Financial Highlights.

Provision for credit losses was $139 million in the fourth quarter of 2025, $167 million in the third quarter of 2025 and $156 million in the fourth quarter of 2024.
Net loan charge-offs were $162 million in the fourth quarter of 2025, decreasing $17 million compared to the third quarter of 2025 due to lower consumer and commercial net loan charge-offs. Compared to the fourth quarter of 2024, net loan charge-offs decreased $88 million driven by lower commercial real estate net loan charge-offs.
The allowance for credit losses was $5.2 billion at December 31, 2025 as well as at December 31, 2024, and $5.3 billion at September 30, 2025. The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of total loans was 1.58% at December 31, 2025, 1.61% at September 30, 2025 and 1.64% at December 31, 2024.
Delinquencies at December 31, 2025 were $1.4 billion, increasing $210 million from September 30, 2025, due to higher commercial and consumer loan delinquencies. Compared to December 31, 2024, delinquencies increased $61 million as a result of higher commercial loan delinquencies, partially offset by lower consumer loan delinquencies.
Nonperforming loans were $2.2 billion at December 31, 2025 increasing $81 million compared to September 30, 2025 as higher commercial and industrial nonperforming loans more than offset declines in commercial real estate nonperforming loans. Compared to December 31, 2024, nonperforming loans decreased $108 million driven by lower commercial real estate nonperforming loans.

(b) | The effective income tax rates are generally lower than the statutory rate due to the relationship of pretax income to tax credits and earnings that are not subject to tax. |
(c) | Net interest margin is the total yield on interest-earning assets minus the total rate on interest-bearing liabilities and includes the benefit from use of noninterest-bearing sources. To provide more meaningful comparisons of net interest margins, we use net interest income on a taxable-equivalent basis in calculating average yields used in the calculation of net interest margin 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 generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the Consolidated Income Statement. The taxable-equivalent adjustments to net interest income for the three months ended December 31, 2025, September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 were $31 million, $30 million and $30 million, respectively.

CAPITAL RATIOS
PNC's regulatory risk-based capital ratios in 2025 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, past due exposures and equity exposures are generally subject to higher risk weights than other types of exposures.
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. See the table below for the September 30, 2025, December 31, 2024 and estimated December 31, 2025 ratios.
Our Basel III capital ratios may be impacted by changes to the regulatory capital rules and additional regulatory guidance or analysis.

Total noninterest income | $ 2,340 | $ 2,267 | $ 8,689 | $ 8,056 | |||
Fee income is a non-GAAP measure and is comprised of noninterest income in the following categories: asset management and brokerage, capital markets and advisory, card and cash management, lending and deposit services, and residential and commercial mortgage. We believe this non-GAAP measure serves as a useful tool for comparison of noninterest income related to fees.

Pretax pre-provision earnings (non-GAAP) | $ 2,468 | $ 2,454 | $ 9,265 | $ 8,031 | |||
Pretax pre-provision earnings is a non-GAAP measure and is based on adjusting income before income taxes and noncontrolling interests to exclude provision for credit losses. We believe that pretax, pre-provision earnings is a useful tool to help evaluate the ability to provide for credit costs through operations and provides an additional basis to compare results between periods by isolating the impact of provision for credit losses, which can vary significantly between periods.

Tangible book value per common share (non-GAAP) | $ 112.51 | $ 107.84 | $ 95.33 |
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.

Net interest income (Fully Taxable-Equivalent - FTE) (non-GAAP) | $ 3,762 | $ 3,678 | $ 14,527 | $ 13,630 | |||
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. Taxable-equivalent net interest income is only used for calculating net interest margin. Net interest income shown elsewhere in this presentation is GAAP net interest income.
