EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW
Summary of 2010 Second Quarter Results
Continuing to build upon the momentum from the prior quarter, we reported net income of $48.8 million, or $0.03 per common share, compared with $39.7 million, or $0.01 per common share, in the prior quarter ( see Table 1 ). Pretax, pre-provision income was $270.5 million, up $18.6 million, or 7%, from the prior quarter, and primarily resulted from a $34.8 million, or 5% increase in fully-taxable equivalent revenue. Pretax, pre-provision income increased for the sixth consecutive quarter ( see Table 4 ).
Credit quality performance in the current quarter continued to show improvement. This improvement reflected the benefits of our focused actions taken in 2009 to address credit-related issues. Compared with the prior quarter, nonperforming assets (NPAs) declined 17%, new NPAs declined 28%, and our nonaccrual loan coverage ratio improved to 120% from 87%. We also saw a decline in the level of criticized commercial loans reflecting a decrease in the level of inflows. Although net charge-offs (NCOs) increased $40.7 million, the current quarter was impacted by $80.0 million of NCOs related to our relationship with Franklin Credit Management Corporation (Franklin). Non-Franklin-related NCOs declined $27.8 million.
At the end of the current quarter, we transferred all of our Franklin-related loans to loans held-for-sale at a lower of cost or fair value of $323.4 million. This had a significant impact on the current quarter’s performance as this action resulted in $75.5 million of charge-offs, with a commensurate increase in the provision for credit losses. As the current quarter progressed, we saw renewed buyer interest in distressed debt that, among other factors, provided us a business opportunity to move the portfolio to loans held for sale. (See “Significant Items” for additional discussion).
On July 20, 2010, $274.2 million of the Franklin-related residential mortgages were sold, leaving the remaining Franklin-related portfolio balance of only $49.2 million. Going forward, we anticipate this sale will improve our overall future financial performance as we have essentially brought this relationship to a close. We have reinvested the sale proceeds in higher yielding investments and will no longer have expenses related to portfolio servicing and other support costs.
Our period-end capital position remained solid with increases in all of our capital ratios. At June 30, 2010, our regulatory Tier 1 and Total risk-based capital were $2.8 billion and $2.0 billion, respectively, above the “well-capitalized” regulatory thresholds. Our tangible common equity ratio improved 16 basis points to 6.12%. Also, our Tier 1 common risk-based capital ratio improved 53 basis points to 7.06%.
Business Overview
General
Our 2010 objectives remain the same: (a) grow revenue and profitability, (b) improve cross sell and share-of-wallet profitability across all business segments, (c) grow key fee businesses (existing and new), (d) lower NCOs and NPAs, (e) reduce commercial real estate “noncore” exposure, and (f) continue to explore opportunities to further reduce our overall risk profile.
Our main challenge to accomplishing our primary objectives results from an economy that continues to remain weak and uncertain. This impairs our ability to grow loans as customers continue to reduce their debt and/or remain cautious about increasing debt until they have a higher degree of confidence of sustainable economic recovery. One area of loan growth success, however, has been in automobile loans, a business we have been in for over 50 years. We have been able to take advantage of the fact that many competitors have decreased their automobile lending activities or exited the business entirely. We anticipate this will be an area where we will be able to continue to see good loan growth.
We face strong competition from other banks and financial service firms in our markets. As such, we have placed strong strategic emphasis on, and are continuing to develop and expand resources devoted to, improving cross-sell performance to take advantage of a loyal core customer base. To date, we have been successful as measured by our ability to expand our customer bases and successfully grow core deposits.
Legislative and Regulatory
Legislative and regulatory actions continue to be adopted that will impose additional restrictions on current business practices. Recent actions affecting us included an amendment to Regulation E and the passage of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act).

Table of Contents

The Federal Reserve Board recently amended Regulation E to prohibit charging overdraft fees for ATM or point-of-sale debit card transactions unless the customer opts-in to the overdraft service. For us, such fees are approximately $90 million per year. Our basic strategy is to mitigate the potential impact by alerting our customers that we can no longer cover such overdrafts unless they opt-in to our overdraft service. To date, our results have surpassed our expectations, however, until we have completed opt-in campaign, the ultimate impact to related revenue cannot be estimated.
While the recently passed Dodd-Frank Act is complex and we continue to assess how this legislation and subsequent rule-making will impact us, we currently believe there are two primary areas of focus for us: interchange fees and the eventual inability to include trust preferred capital as a component of our regulatory capital.
Currently, our annual interchange fees are approximately $90 million per year. In the future, the Dodd-Frank Act gives the Federal Reserve, and no longer the banks or system owners, the ability to set the interchange rate charged to merchants for the use of debit cards. The ultimate impact to us cannot be estimated at this time, and there will likely be months of proposals and debate before any specific rules are written.
At June 30, 2010, we had $569.9 million of outstanding trust-preferred-securities that, if disallowed, would reduce our regulatory Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio by approximately 134 basis points. However, there is a 3-year phase-in period beginning on January 1, 2013, that we believe would provide sufficient time to evaluate and address the impacts to our capital structure around this new legislation. Accordingly, we do not anticipate that this potential change would have a significant impact to our business.
Prior legislative and regulatory actions that have affected us included the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation’s (FDIC) Transaction Account Guarantee Program (TAGP) and the U.S. Department of Treasury’s Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP). We elected to discontinue our participation in the TAGP, effective July 1, 2010. We intend to repay our TARP capital as soon as it is prudent to do so. Additional discussion regarding TAGP and TARP is located within the “Liquidity Risk” and “Capital” sections, respectively.
2010 Outlook
Our current expectation is that the economy will remain relatively unchanged for the rest of the year. We are not expecting a double-dip recession, but we do believe it will take longer for the economy to recover than we did 90 days ago, especially if home prices continue to decline.
Pretax, pre-provision income levels for the second half of 2010 are anticipated to be consistent with second quarter reported performance. Our net interest margin for the second half of the year is expected to approximate first half performance. We anticipate modest growth in commercial and industrial (C&I) loans and continued strong automobile lending. However, commercial real estate (CRE) loans are expected to continue to contract while home equity and residential mortgages remain relatively flat. We are targeting continued strong growth in demand deposit and savings account balances. Fee income performance for the second half of the year is expected to be mixed with certain fee income activities increasing from the continued rollout of strategic initiatives, offset by lower mortgage banking income, as well as service charges due to Regulation E implementation. Expenses should also be relatively stable with increases related to growth initiatives, mostly offset by the elimination of Franklin-related loan portfolio servicing and other related costs, as well as lower overall loan portfolio monitoring expenses.
Nonperforming loans are expected to continue to decline, with NCOs and provision expense expected to be generally consistent with the current quarter’s performance, excluding any Franklin-related impacts.

DISCUSSION OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
This section provides a review of financial performance from a consolidated perspective. It also includes a “Significant Items” section that summarizes key issues important for a complete understanding of performance trends. Key condensed consolidated balance sheet and income statement trends are discussed. All earnings per share data are reported on a diluted basis. For additional insight on financial performance, please read this section in conjunction with the “Business Segment Discussion”.
Percent changes of 100% or more are typically shown as “N.M.” or “Not Meaningful”. Such large percent changes typically reflect the impact of unusual or particularly volatile items within the measured periods. Since the primary purpose of showing a percent change is to discern underlying performance trends, such large percent changes are typically “not meaningful” for such trend analysis purposes.

(2)   The 2009 fourth quarter gain related to the purchase of certain subordinated bank notes. The 2009 second quarter gain included $67.4 million related to the purchase of certain trust preferred securities.
 
(3)   For all the quarterly periods presented above, the impact of the convertible preferred stock issued in 2008 was excluded from the diluted share calculation. It was excluded because the result would have been higher than basic earnings per common share (anti-dilutive) for the periods.
 
(4)   Net income (loss) excluding expense for amortization of intangibles for the period divided by average tangible shareholders’ equity. Average tangible shareholders’ equity equals average total shareholders’ equity less average intangible assets and goodwill. Expense for amortization of intangibles and average intangible assets are net of deferred tax liability, and calculated assuming a 35% tax rate.
 
(5)   On a fully-taxable equivalent (FTE) basis assuming a 35% tax rate.
 
(6)   Noninterest expense less amortization of intangibles and goodwill impairment divided by the sum of FTE net interest income and noninterest income excluding securities gains (losses).

Significant Items
Definition of Significant Items
From time-to-time, revenue, expenses, or taxes, are impacted by items judged by us to be outside of ordinary banking activities and/or by items that, while they may be associated with ordinary banking activities, are so unusually large that their outsized impact is believed by us at that time to be infrequent or short-term in nature, or otherwise make period-to-period comparisons less meaningful. We refer to such items as “Significant Items”. Most often, these “Significant Items” result from factors originating outside the company; e.g., regulatory actions/assessments, windfall gains, changes in accounting principles, one-time tax assessments/refunds, etc. In other cases they may result from our decisions associated with significant corporate actions out of the ordinary course of business; e.g., merger/restructuring charges, recapitalization actions, goodwill impairment, etc.
Even though certain revenue and expense items are naturally subject to more volatility than others due to changes in market and economic environment conditions, as a general rule volatility alone does not define a “Significant Item”. For example, changes in the provision for credit losses, gains/losses from investment activities, asset valuation writedowns, etc., reflect ordinary banking activities and are, therefore, typically excluded from consideration as a “Significant Item”.
We believe the disclosure of “Significant Items” in current and prior period results aids in better understanding our performance and trends to ascertain which of such items, if any, to include or exclude from an analysis of our performance; i.e., within the context of determining how that performance differed from expectations, as well as how, if at all, to adjust estimates of future performance accordingly. To this end, we adopted a practice of listing “Significant Items” in our external disclosure documents (e.g., earnings press releases, investor presentations, Forms 10-Q and 10-K).
“Significant Items” for any particular period are not intended to be a complete list of items that may materially impact current or future period performance. A number of items could materially impact these periods, including those described in our 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K and other factors described from time-to-time in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Significant Items Influencing Financial Performance Comparisons
Earnings comparisons were impacted by a number of “Significant Items” summarized below.
  1.   Goodwill Impairment. The impacts of goodwill impairment on our reported results were as follows:
    During the 2009 first quarter, bank stock prices continued to decline significantly. Our stock price declined 78% from $7.66 per share at December 31, 2008 to $1.66 per share at March 31, 2009. Given this significant decline, we conducted an interim test for goodwill impairment. As a result, we recorded a noncash $2,602.7 million ($7.09 per common share) pretax charge to noninterest expense.
 
    During the 2009 second quarter, a pretax goodwill impairment of $4.2 million ($0.01 per common share) was recorded to noninterest expense relating to the sale of a small payments-related business.

  2.   Franklin Relationship. Our relationship with Franklin was acquired in the Sky Financial Group, Inc. (Sky Financial) acquisition in 2007. Significant events relating to this relationship following the acquisition, and the impacts of those events on our reported results, were as follows:
    On March 31, 2009, we restructured our relationship with Franklin. As a result of this restructuring, a nonrecurring net tax benefit of $159.9 million ($0.44 per common share) was recorded in the 2009 first quarter. Also, and although earnings were not significantly impacted, commercial NCOs increased $128.3 million as the previously established $130.0 million Franklin-specific allowance for loan and lease losses (ALLL) was utilized to writedown the acquired mortgages and other real estate owned (OREO) collateral to fair value.
 
    During the 2010 first quarter, a $38.2 million ($0.05 per common share) net tax benefit was recognized, primarily reflecting the increase in the net deferred tax asset relating to the assets acquired from the March 31, 2009, restructuring.
 
    During the 2010 second quarter, the remaining portfolio of Franklin-related loans ($333.0 million of residential mortgages, and $64.7 million of home equity loans) was transferred to loans held for sale. At the time of the transfer, the loans were marked to the lower of cost or fair value, less costs to sell, of $323.4 million, resulting in $75.5 million of charge-offs, and the provision for credit losses commensurately increased $75.5 million ($0.07 per common share).
 
    On July 20, 2010, $274.2 million of the $275.2 million of residential mortgages were sold.
  3.   Early Extinguishment of Debt. The positive impacts relating to the early extinguishment of debt on our reported results were: $73.6 million ($0.07 per common share) in the 2009 fourth quarter and $67.4 million ($0.10 per common share) in the 2009 second quarter. These amounts were recorded to noninterest expense.
 
  4.   Preferred Stock Conversion. During the 2009 first and second quarters, we converted 114,109 and 92,384 shares, respectively, of Series A 8.50% Non-cumulative Perpetual Preferred (Series A Preferred Stock) stock into common stock. As part of these transactions, there was a deemed dividend that did not impact net income, but resulted in a negative impact of $0.08 per common share for the 2009 first quarter and $0.06 per common share for the 2009 second quarter.
 
  5.   Visa ® . Prior to the Visa ® initial public offering (IPO) occurring in March 2008, Visa ® was owned by its member banks, which included the Bank. As a result of this ownership, we received shares of Visa ® stock at the time of the IPO. In the 2009 second quarter, we sold these Visa ® stock shares, resulting in a $31.4 million pretax gain ($0.04 per common share). This amount was recorded to noninterest income.
 
  6.   Other Significant Items Influencing Earnings Performance Comparisons. In addition to the items discussed separately in this section, a number of other items impacted financial results. These included:
2009 — Fourth Quarter
    $11.3 million ($0.02 per common share) benefit to provision for income taxes, representing a reduction to the previously established capital loss carry-forward valuation allowance.
2009 — Second Quarter
    $23.6 million ($0.03 per common share) negative impact due to a special Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insurance premium assessment. This amount was recorded to noninterest expense.
 
    $2.4 million ($0.01 per common share) benefit to provision for income taxes, representing a reduction to the previously established capital loss carry-forward valuation allowance.

Pretax, Pre-provision Income Trends
One non-GAAP performance measurement that we believe is useful in analyzing underlying performance trends is pretax, pre-provision income. This is the level of earnings adjusted to exclude the impact of: (a) provision expense, which is excluded because its absolute level is elevated and volatile, (b) investment securities gains/losses, which are excluded because securities market valuations may also become particularly volatile in times of economic stress, (c) amortization of intangibles expense, which is excluded because the return on tangible common equity is a key measurement that we use to gauge performance trends, and (d) certain other items identified by us (see “Significant Items”) that we believe may distort our underlying performance trends.
The following table reflects pretax, pre-provision income for the each of the past five quarters:

(1)   Pretax, pre-provision income is a non-GAAP financial measure. Any ratio utilizing this financial measure is also non-GAAP. This financial measure has been included as it is considered to be an important metric with which to analyze and evaluate our results of operations and financial strength. Other companies may calculate this financial measure differently.
 
(2)   Includes only transactions related to the purchase of certain trust preferred securities during the 2009 second quarter.
As shown in the table above, pretax, pre-provision income was $270.5 million in the 2010 second quarter, up 7% from the prior quarter. As discussed in the sections that follow, the improvement from the prior quarter reflected higher revenue, primarily noninterest income and, to a lesser degree, net interest income. These improvements were partially offset by higher noninterest expense.
Net Interest Income / Average Balance Sheet
(This section should be read in conjunction with Significant Item 2.)
2010 Second Quarter versus 2009 Second Quarter
Fully-taxable equivalent net interest income increased $51.0 million, or 15%, from the year-ago quarter. This reflected the favorable impact of the significant increase in the net interest margin to 3.46% from 3.10%, as well as a 2% increase in average total earning assets. A significant portion of the increase in the net interest margin reflected a shift in our deposit mix from higher-cost time deposits to lower-cost transaction-based accounts. The increase in average earning assets reflected a $3.5 billion, or 65%, increase in average total investment securities, partially offset by a $1.9 billion, or 5%, decline in average total loans and leases.

The $1.9 billion, or 5%, decrease in average total loans and leases primarily reflected:
    $3.1 billion, or 14%, decrease in average total commercial loans. A $1.3 billion, or 9%, decline in average C&I loans reflected a general decrease in borrowing as reflected in a decline in line-of-credit utilization, including reductions in our automobile dealer floorplan exposure, charge-off activity, and the reclassification in the 2010 first quarter of variable rate demand notes to municipal securities. These negatives were partially offset by the impact of the 2009 reclassifications of certain CRE loans, primarily representing owner-occupied properties, to C&I loans. The $1.8 billion, or 20%, decrease in average CRE loans reflected these reclassifications, as well as our on-going commitment to lower our overall CRE exposure. We continue to execute our plan to reduce our CRE exposure while maintaining a commitment to our core CRE borrowers. The decrease in average balances is associated with the noncore portfolio, as our core portfolio average balances were little changed during the current period.
Partially offset by:
    $1.2 billion, or 7%, increase in average total consumer loans. This growth reflected a $1.3 billion, or 41%, increase in average automobile loans and leases primarily as a result of the adoption of a new accounting standard in which, on January 1, 2010, we consolidated a 2009 first quarter $1.0 billion automobile loan securitization. At June 30, 2010, these formerly securitized loans had a remaining balance of $0.7 billion (see Note 5 of the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements). In addition, underlying growth in automobile loans continued to be strong, reflecting a 139% increase in loan originations for the first six months of 2010 from the comparable year-ago period. The growth has come while maintaining our commitment to excellent credit quality and an appropriate return. Average home equity loans were little changed as lower origination volume was offset by slower runoff experience and slightly higher line-of-credit utilization. Increased line usage continued to be associated with higher quality customers taking advantage of the low interest rate environment. Average residential mortgages were essentially unchanged, reflecting the impact of the continued refinance of portfolio loans and the related increased sale of fixed-rate originations. The transfer of the Franklin-related loans into held for sale occurred at the end of the quarter and had no impact on related average residential mortgages or home equity loans (see Significant Item 2).
The $3.5 billion, or 65%, increase in average total investment securities reflected the deployment of the cash from core deposit growth and loan runoff over this period, as well as the proceeds from 2009 capital actions.

The $0.8 billion, or 2%, increase in average total deposits reflected:
    $3.3 billion, or 10%, growth in average total core deposits, primarily reflecting our focus on growing money market and demand deposit accounts.
Partially offset by:
    $2.2 billion, or 60%, decline in brokered deposits and negotiable CDs and a $0.2 billion, or 25%, decrease in average other domestic deposits over $250,000, primarily reflecting a reduction of noncore funding sources.
2010 Second Quarter versus 2010 First Quarter
Compared with the 2010 first quarter, fully-taxable equivalent net interest income increased $6.0 million, or 2%. This reflected a 1% increase in average earning assets as the fully-taxable equivalent net interest margin declined slightly to 3.46% from 3.47%. The increase in average earning assets primarily reflected a $0.3 billion, or 3%, increase in average investment securities, as average total loans and leases were up $0.1 billion, or less than 1%.
The net interest margin declined 1 basis point. Favorable trends in the mix and pricing of deposits were offset by lower yields on Franklin-related loans, a lower contribution from asset/liability management strategies implemented in the first and second quarters of 2010, and one additional calendar day in the 2010 second quarter.
The following table details the change in our reported loans and deposits:

The $0.1 billion increase in average total loans and leases primarily reflected:
    $0.4 billion, or 2%, decline in average total commercial loans as average C&I loans declined $0.1 billion, or 1%, and average CRE declined $0.3 billion, or 4%. C&I loans declined as underlying growth was more than offset by a combination of continued lower line-of-credit utilization and paydowns on term debt. The economic environment continued to cause many customers to actively reduce their leverage position. Our line-of-credit utilization percentage was 43%, consistent with that of the prior quarter. We continue to believe that we have opportunities to expand our customer base within our markets and are focused on expanding our C&I sales pipeline. The decline in average CRE loans primarily resulted from the continuing paydowns and charge-off activity associated with our noncore CRE portfolio. Paydowns of $124.5 million were a result of our portfolio management and loan workout strategies, augmented by some early stage improvements in the markets. The portion of the CRE portfolio designated as core continued to perform as expected with average balances little changed from the prior quarter.
Partially offset by:
    $0.5 billion, or 3%, increase in total average consumer loans, primarily reflecting a $0.4 billion, or 9%, increase in average automobile loans and leases. This growth reflected record production of $943.6 million in the quarter. We continue to maintain high credit quality standards on this production while achieving an appropriate return. We have a high degree of confidence in our ability to originate quality automobile loans through our established dealer network, and as a natural extension of our Western Pennsylvania area operations, we have established a presence in the eastern portion of the state. Average residential mortgages increased $0.1 billion, or 3%, and average home equity loans were essentially unchanged from the prior quarter. The transfer of the Franklin-related loans into held for sale occurred at the end of the quarter and had no impact on related average residential mortgages or home equity loans (see Significant Item 2) .
The $0.3 billion, or 3%, increase in average total investment securities reflected the reinvestment of excess cash.
Average total deposits increased $0.1 billion from the prior quarter reflecting:
    $0.5 billion, or 1%, growth in average total core deposits, primarily reflecting our focus on growing money market and demand deposit accounts.
Partially offset by:
    $0.3 billion, or 18%, decline in brokered deposits and negotiable CDs, reflecting maturities.
Tables 7 and 8 reflect quarterly average balance sheets and rates earned and paid on interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.

2010 First Six Months versus 2009 First Six Months
Fully-taxable equivalent net interest income for the first six-month period of 2010 increased $106.1 million, or 15%, from the comparable year-ago period. This increase primarily reflected the favorable impact of the significant increase in the net interest margin to 3.47% from 3.03% and, to a lesser degree, a 1% increase in average total earning assets. A significant portion of the increase in the net interest margin reflected a shift in our deposit mix from higher-cost time deposits to lower-cost transaction-based accounts. Although average total earning assets increased only slightly compared with the year-ago period, this change reflected a $3.7 million, or 77%, increase in average total investment securities, mostly offset by a $2.9 billion, or 7%, decline in average total loans and leases.
The following table details the change in our reported loans and deposits:

The $2.9 billion, or 7%, decrease in average total loans and leases primarily reflected:
    $3.4 billion, or 15%, decline in average total commercial loans as C&I loans declined $1.3 billion, or 9%, and CRE loans declined $2.1 billion, or 22%. The decline in C& I loans reflected a general decrease in borrowing as reflected in a decline in line-of-credit utilization, including reductions in our automobile dealer floorplan exposure, charge-off activity, the 2009 first quarter Franklin restructuring, and the 2010 first quarter reclassification of variable rate demand notes to municipal securities. These declines were partially offset by the impact of the 2009 reclassifications of certain CRE loans, primarily representing owner-occupied properties, to C&I loans. The decline in CRE loans reflected these reclassifications, as well as our continuing commitment to lower our overall CRE exposure. We continue to execute our plan to reduce the CRE exposure while maintaining a commitment to our core CRE borrowers.
Partially offset by:
    $0.5 billion, or 3%, increase in average total consumer loans. This growth reflected a $0.6 billion, or 16%, increase in average automobile loans and leases primarily as a result of the adoption of a new accounting standard in which, on January 1, 2010, we consolidated a 2009 first quarter $1.0 billion automobile loan securitization (see Note 5 of the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements). At June 30, 2010, these securitized loans had a remaining balance of $0.7 billion. Additionally, underlying growth in automobile loans continued to be strong, reflecting a 139% increase in loan originations compared with the year-ago period. These increases were partially offset by a $0.3 billion, or 60%, decline in average automobile leases due to the continued run-off of that portfolio. Average home equity loans were little changed as lower origination volume was offset by slower runoff experience and slightly higher line-of-credit utilization. Average residential mortgages declined slightly reflecting the impact of loan sales, as well as the continued refinance of portfolio loans and the related increased sale of fixed-rate originations, partially offset by the additions related to the 2009 first quarter Franklin restructuring. The transfer of the Franklin-related loans into loans held for sale occurred at the end of the 2010 second quarter and had no impact on related average residential mortgages or home equity loans (see Significant Item 2).

Offsetting the decline in average total loans and leases on average earning assets was a $3.7 billion, or 77%, increase in average total investment securities, reflected the deployment of the cash from core deposit growth and loan run-off throughout the current period, as well as the proceeds from the 2009 capital actions.
The $1.4 billion, or 4%, increase in average total deposits reflected:
    $3.8 billion, or 11%, growth in average total core deposits, primarily reflecting our focus on growing money market and demand deposit accounts.
Partially offset by:
    $1.9 billion, or 53%, decline in brokered and negotiable CDs, and a $0.3 billion, or 30%, decline in average other domestic deposits over $250,000, primarily reflecting a reduction of noncore funding sources.

Provision for Credit Losses
(This section should be read in conjunction with Significant Item 2 and the “Credit Risk” section.)
The provision for credit losses is the expense necessary to maintain the ALLL and the allowance for unfunded loan commitments and letters of credit (AULC) at levels adequate to absorb our estimate of inherent credit losses in the loan and lease portfolio and the portfolio of unfunded loan commitments and letters of credit.
The provision for credit losses for the 2010 second quarter was $193.4 million, down $41.6 million, or 18%, from the prior quarter and down $220.3 million, or 53%, from the year-ago quarter. The 2010 second quarter included $80.0 million of Franklin-related credit provision , and reflected $75.5 million associated with the transfer of Franklin-related loans to loans held for sale (see Significant Item 2), and $4.5 million of other Franklin-related NCOs . Reflecting the utilization of previously established reserves, the current quarter’s provision for credit losses was $85.8 million less than total NCOs (see “Credit Quality” discussion).
The following table details the Franklin-related impact to the provision for credit losses for each of the past five quarters.
