PNC BANK CORP. REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 1998 EARNINGS
PITTSBURGH, April 14, 1998 - PNC Bank Corp. (NYSE: PNC) today
reported first quarter 1998 earnings of $269 million or $0.87 per diluted share
compared with $266 million or $0.80 per diluted share in the first quarter of
1997.
Returns on average common shareholders' equity and average assets
were 21.10% and 1.51% for the first quarter of 1998 compared with 19.48% and
1.54% for the prior-year quarter.
"First quarter results reflect solid performance from our major
businesses including significant growth in asset management, mutual fund
servicing and mortgage banking," said Thomas H. O'Brien, chairman and chief
executive officer. "Our fee-based financial services businesses continue to have
a very positive impact on our revenue stream with noninterest income rising to
46% of total revenue during the quarter compared with 40% in 1997."
HIGHLIGHTS
* Revenue increased 11% in the quarter-to-quarter comparison driven
by 24% growth in noninterest income.
* Asset management, mutual fund servicing and mortgage banking
revenue grew 32%, 24% and 93%, respectively, from the first
quarter of 1997.
* PNC Bank's fixed-income, equity and liquidity capabilities were
consolidated under BlackRock, Inc. creating one of the largest
asset managers in the U.S.
* The acquisition of Midland Loan Services, L.P. was completed on
April 3, 1998 creating a fully-integrated commercial real estate
business with capabilities to originate, warehouse, securitize
and service commercial mortgages.

INCOME STATEMENT REVIEW
Total revenue increased to $1.2 billion in the quarter-to-quarter
comparison driven by growth in noninterest income.
Taxable-equivalent net interest income increased $7 million to $644
million in the first quarter of 1998. The net interest margin was 3.96% compared
with 3.98% in the first quarter of 1997.
The provision for credit losses was $30 million for the first
quarter of 1998 compared with $10 million last year.
Noninterest income was $539 million in the first quarter of 1998, a
$106 million or 24% increase from the prior-year quarter driven by growth in
asset management, mutual fund servicing and mortgage banking.
Asset management and mutual fund servicing grew 32% and 24%,
respectively, from the first quarter of 1997 reflecting significant new business
and strong financial markets. Managed assets increased to approximately $148
billion at March 31, 1998 compared with $115 billion a year ago.
Mortgage banking revenue grew primarily due to higher marketing
gains and origination volume reflecting significant mortgage refinance activity
in the first quarter of 1998. Mortgage originations totaled $2.3 billion
compared with $1.1 billion in the year-earlier period. At March 31, 1998, the
corporation serviced approximately $42.5 billion of mortgages including $33.6
billion serviced for others.
Net securities gains were $23 million in the first quarter of 1998
including $9 million from sales of securities that hedged mortgage servicing
rights ("MSR").
The increase in other income reflects the impact of the sale of
equity in the new BlackRock to management.
Noninterest expense increased $97 million to $741 million in the
first quarter of 1998 primarily due to MSR amortization, incentive compensation
commensurate with growth in fee-based revenue and higher marketing costs
associated with national consumer banking initiatives.

BALANCE SHEET REVIEW
Total assets were $72.4 billion at March 31, 1998. Average earning
assets increased $1.4 billion from the prior-year quarter to $65.2 billion as
higher loans and mortgages held for sale more than offset securities portfolio
reductions. Average loans grew 4.2% to $54.1 billion, a $2.2 billion increase
from the prior year. Loans represented 83.0% of average earning assets compared
with 81.4% a year ago. Growth in credit cards and middle market commercial loans
more than offset the downsizing of the indirect automobile lending portfolio and
the impact of loan securitizations. The increase in average mortgages held for
sale was $1.4 billion reflecting higher production volume. Average securities
decreased $2.3 billion to $7.8 billion or 11.9% of average earning assets.
Average deposits increased $497 million to $44.6 billion in the
first quarter of 1998 representing 61.9% of total sources of funds. The ratio of
wholesale funds to total sources of funds was 28.3% for the first quarter of
1998 compared with 27.9% a year ago.
Shareholders' equity totaled $5.5 billion at March 31, 1998. The
leverage ratio was 7.36% and Tier I and total risk-based capital ratios are
estimated to be 7.7% and 11.2%, respectively.
The ratio of nonperforming assets to total loans and foreclosed assets
was 0.61% at March 31, 1998 compared with 0.82% at March 31, 1997. Nonperforming
assets were $335 million at March 31, 1998 compared with $429 million a year
ago.
The allowance for credit losses was $912 million at March 31, 1998,
and represented 321% of nonperforming loans compared with 346% at March 31,
1997. Net charge-offs were $90 million or 0.67% of average loans in the first
quarter of 1998 compared with $60 million and 0.47%, respectively, in the
year-earlier period. The increases were primarily associated with higher credit
card outstandings.
