Capital Management

Detailed information on our capital management processes and activities is included in the Supervision and Regulation section of Item 1 of our 2024 Form 10-K.

We manage our funding and capital positions by making adjustments to our balance sheet size and composition, issuing or redeeming debt, issuing equity or other capital instruments, executing treasury stock transactions and capital redemptions or repurchases, and managing dividend policies and retaining earnings.

In the first quarter of 2025, PNC returned $0.8 billion of capital to shareholders, including $0.6 billion of dividends on common shares and $0.2 billion of common share repurchases. Consistent with the SCB framework, which allows for capital return in amounts in excess of the SCB minimum levels, our Board of Directors has authorized a repurchase framework under the previously approved repurchase program of up to 100 million common shares, of which approximately 41% were still available for repurchase at March 31, 2025. Second quarter 2025 share repurchase activity is expected to increase as compared to recent quarterly average share repurchase levels. 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, 2024 is the regulatory minimum of 2.5%.

On April 3, 2025 the PNC Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend on common stock of $1.60 per share to be paid on May 5, 2025 to shareholders of record at the close of business April 16, 2025.
