Bigger Is Better for PNC, This Year's Top 50 Winner REPRINTED FROM THE PAGES OF THE TUESDAY, MARCH 20, 2007 Bigger is better for PNC, this year’s top 50 winner By Patricia Sabatini Pittsburgh Post-Gazette If you had to sum up this year’s best performing company in three superlatives, it might be this: big profits, big reach, big heart. PNC Financial Services Group, the this year’s Top 50 Overall winner among the region’s public companies, enjoyed a banner year in 2006. The financial services giant posted a record profit of $2.6 billion, saw a 20 percent surge in its stock price and beefed up its core banking business with the $6 billion takeover of Baltimore-based Mercantile Bankshares Corp. The company also decided to share its good fortunes, not just with top executives, but with the entire work force. It doled out bonuses to the majority of the rank-and-file – $1,000 for full-timers and $500 for part-timers – all in time for Christmas. The Post-Gazette used seven performance factors to crown the winners in the Overall category: revenue, change in revenue, net income, change in net income, stock price change, market capitalization (which measures how much a company was worth based on its stock price multiplied by shares outstanding), and return on equity, which gives shareholders a gauge of a company’s vitality by showing how effectively management is using their money. That formula favors the big players over the little ones, as evidenced by the other top finishers (all with annual revenues in the billions), including U.S. Steel at No. 2, followed pump their wells, scored high marks in growth Mellon, the storied financial services by another metals company, Allegheny categories as brisk demand and higher energy titan Superior nudged out for fifth place, also Technologies, and Allegheny Energy. prices helped net income to more than triple on appears headed for the Big Apple and likely But size alone wasn’t enough to bump all revenue that nearly doubled from the previous year. won’t be back to take stock of next year. of the smaller guys from the top of the heap.

  • Case Study Project ����� PNC Financial Services Group Location ���� Pittsburgh, PA Product ����� DC Flexzone™ Grid
    case study Project ..... PNC Financial Services Group Location .... Pittsburgh, PA Product ..... DC FlexZone™ Grid the challenge: In 2002, PNC Financial Services Group became the first major U.S. bank to apply green building practices to all its newly constructed branches. The result: PNC now has more LEED®- certified buildings than any other company in the world. “Any time we construct a building, we want to include state-of-the- art technology,” explains Mike Gilmore, PNC Director of Design and Construction Services. “And, not just technology for now, but for years down the road.” the solution: Gilmore sees the increased use of direct current (DC) in commercial buildings as one of those technologies. “As DC becomes more prevalent, it only makes sense to go in that direction,” he states. As evidence of that belief, PNC was the first company in the country to install DC FlexZone grid, a ceiling suspension system from Armstrong that can distribute safe, low voltage DC power to electrical devices in a space. Installed at PNC Realty Services Group’s offices, the grid powered lay-in light fixtures, pendants, and wall washers in both open plan and closed spaces. “As a leader in sustainability, we’re interested in anything that saves energy,” Gilmore says. “The grid goes an extra step because it deals with direct current, which saves the energy needed to convert AC to DC.” In addition to its energy-saving potential, the grid also improves the flexibility of interior spaces by providing ‘plug and play’ capabilities for moving light fixtures without the need to re-wire.

  • Firstenergy's History of Bad Business Decisions
    FirstEnergy’s history of bad business decisions Risky beginning In 1997, Ohio Edison changed its name to FirstEnergy when it acquired Centerior Energy, becoming the 11th largest electric utility in the country, serving 2.2 million customers in northern Ohio and western Pennsylvania. Centerior had invested in three expensive nuclear power plants, just about the time that the Three Mile Island accident in 1979 drove up the cost for these plants. Centerior cancelled one of the nuclear plants in 1994, slashed its dividend, and took a $1 billion write-off. Despite such troubles, and the threat of additional problems at reactors, Ohio Edison bailed out Centerior with the 1997 merger. With this risky investment, FirstEnergy was born. Safety violations FirstEnergy has made repeated mistakes with its poor safety record, as evidenced by its frequent citations from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) for safety violations. In 2002, FirstEnergy narrowly averted disaster at the Davis-Besse reactor. The NRC had set a 2001 deadline for a crucial safety inspection, but FirstEnergy pushed it back to 2002, when the plant was scheduled to close for refueling. The NRC found a coolant leak from the reactor core had caused a gaping hole in the reactor cover, eating away six inches of the 6½-inch thick steel plate. The NRC also found a host of defective welds. FirstEnergy had to shut the plant down for two years for repairs. Poor oversight High costs for nuclear maintenance and safety led FirstEnergy to cut costs in other areas, like its tree trimming budget. In 2003, FirstEnergy inadvertently turned out the lights on the eastern U.S.
