CEO Commentary

“While we continued to benefit from the positive impact of higher interest rates and equity markets, albeit at a more modest pace than last quarter, we again saw some underlying franchise growth. Overall, the company remains strong, with some areas performing better than others,” Charles W. Scharf, chairman and chief executive officer, said.

“We saw pockets of strength, in Investment Services, especially where we have differentiated capabilities such as clearance, collateral management, tri-party repo and liquidity services. Investment Management growth moderated as we saw some softness across the board in our asset flows,” Mr. Scharf continued.

“We remain disciplined and focused on deploying our resources. Currency translation and real estate costs impacted expense growth by 2 percent and, despite an increase in our investment in technology, all other expenses were up modestly,” Mr. Scharf added.

“Following the release of our CCAR results, we are now authorized to repurchase $2.4 billion in common shares by mid-2019, and we increased our common dividend 17 percent starting this quarter. While we were not surprised by the outcome given the severity of the assumptions in this year’s test, our expectations for returning capital to shareholders over time have not changed,” Mr. Scharf also noted.

“We remain focused on driving organic growth across our businesses. The opportunities in our new business pipeline are encouraging. We are confident that we are taking the right actions to realize them and expect the results to build over time,” Mr. Scharf concluded.

KEY DRIVERS (comparisons are 2Q18 vs. 2Q17, unless otherwise stated)

•
Total revenue increased 5% primarily reflecting:
•
Fee revenue increased 3%, primarily reflecting higher equity market values, the favorable impact of a weaker U.S. dollar, higher foreign exchange revenue and growth in collateral management, partially offset by lease-related gains recorded in 2Q17.
•
Net interest revenue increased 11% driven by higher interest rates.
•
Noninterest expense increased 3% primarily reflecting investments in technology, expenses associated with the continued consolidation of our real estate and the unfavorable impact of a weaker U.S. dollar, partially offset by decreases in other expenses.
•
Effective tax rate of 20.5%.

Assets under custody and/or administration (“AUC/A”) and Assets under management (“AUM”)
•
Record assets under custody and/or administration of $33.6 trillion, up 8%, reflecting higher market values and business growth.
•
Assets under management of $1.8 trillion increased 2%, primarily reflecting higher market values and the favorable impact of a weaker U.S. dollar (principally versus the British pound), partially offset by the divestiture of CenterSquare Investment Management (“CenterSquare”), net outflows and other changes.

Capital and liquidity
•
Repurchased 12 million common shares for $651 million and paid $244 million in dividends to common shareholders.
•
Return on common equity (“ROE) of 11%; Return on tangible common equity (“ROTCE”) of 23% (b).
•

KEY DRIVERS

•
Total revenue increased both year-over-year and sequentially. Net interest revenue increased in most businesses, primarily driven by higher interest rates. The drivers of fee revenue by line of business are indicated below.
•
Asset Servicing - The year-over-year increase primarily reflects higher net interest revenue, foreign exchange and securities lending volumes, equity market values and the favorable impact of a weaker U.S. dollar.
•
Pershing - The year-over-year increase primarily reflects higher net interest revenue and higher fees due to growth in long-term mutual fund balances, partially offset by the impact of lost business. The sequential decrease was primarily driven by lower clearance revenue.
•
Issuer Services - Both increases primarily reflect higher net interest revenue in Corporate Trust and higher Depositary Receipts revenue.
•
Treasury Services - Both increases primarily reflect higher net interest revenue and payment volumes.
•
Clearance and Collateral Management - Both increases primarily reflect growth in collateral management, higher clearance volumes and net interest revenue.

•
Noninterest expense increased year-over-year primarily driven by investments in technology and the unfavorable impact of a weaker U.S. dollar. The sequential increase primarily reflects investments in technology and business development expenses.

(a)
Net of distribution and servicing expense. See “Supplemental information – Explanation of GAAP and Non-GAAP financial measures” beginning on page 11 for the reconciliation of this Non-GAAP measure. In 1Q18, the adjusted pre-tax margin – Non-GAAP for prior periods was restated to include amortization of intangible assets and the provision for credit losses.
(b)
Includes AUM and AUC/A in the Wealth Management business.
(c)
Excludes securities lending cash management assets and assets managed in the Investment Services business.
(d)
Primarily reflects a change in methodology beginning in 1Q18 to exclude AUM related to equity method investments as well as the CenterSquare divestiture.


KEY DRIVERS

•
Total revenue increased year-over-year and decreased sequentially.
•
Asset Management - The year-over-year increase reflects higher equity market values and the favorable impact of a weaker U.S. dollar (principally versus the British pound), partially offset by the divestiture of CenterSquare and the impact of net outflows. The sequential decrease primarily reflects lower performance fees and the gain on the divestiture of CenterSquare recorded in 1Q18.
•
Wealth Management - The year-over-year increase primarily reflects higher equity market values, partially offset by lower net interest revenue.

KEY DRIVERS

•
Fee revenue decreased year-over-year primarily reflecting the lease-related gains recorded in 2Q17 and lower income from corporate/bank-owned life insurance. The sequential decrease primarily reflects lower asset-related gains.

•
Net interest expense increased year-over-year and sequentially primarily resulting from corporate treasury activity.

•
Both comparisons of noninterest expense were impacted by investments in technology and expenses associated with the continued consolidation of our real estate.

Regulatory capital ratios for June 30, 2018 are preliminary. For our CET1, Tier 1 capital and Total capital ratios, our effective capital ratios under the U.S. capital rules are the lower of the ratios as calculated under the Standardized and Advanced Approaches, which for the periods noted above was the Advanced Approaches.
(b)
Regulatory capital ratios for Dec. 31, 2017 are presented on a fully phased-in basis. On a transitional basis at Dec. 31, 2017, the CET1 ratio was 10.7%, the Tier 1 capital ratio was 12.7%, the Total capital ratio was 13.4%, the Tier 1 leverage ratio was 6.6% and the SLR was 6.1%.
(c)
Tangible book value per common share – Non-GAAP excludes goodwill and intangible assets, net of deferred tax liabilities. See “Supplemental information – Explanation of GAAP and Non-GAAP financial measures” beginning on page 11 for the reconciliation of this Non-GAAP measure.


KEY POINTS

•
CET1 capital totaled $18.4 billion at June 30, 2018, an increase of $52 million compared with March 31, 2018. The increase primarily reflects capital generated through earnings, partially offset by capital deployed through common stock repurchased and payments of dividends, as well as foreign currency translation adjustments.

(a)
Net interest revenue (FTE) – Non-GAAP and net interest margin (FTE) – Non-GAAP include the tax equivalent adjustments on tax-exempt income which allows for comparisons of amounts arising from both taxable and tax-exempt sources and is consistent with industry practice. The adjustment to an FTE basis has no impact on net income.
(b)
Yields/rates include the impact of interest rate hedging activities.
bps – basis points.


KEY DRIVERS

•
Net interest revenue increased year-over-year, primarily reflecting higher interest rates. The sequential decrease was primarily driven by lower deposits, partially offset by higher interest rates.

KEY DRIVERS

•
The year-over-year increase in total noninterest expense primarily reflects investments in technology, which impacted staff, professional, legal and other purchased services and software and equipment expenses. The-year-over-year increase also reflects the unfavorable impact of a weaker U.S. dollar and expenses associated with the continued consolidation of our real estate.

•
The sequential increase in total noninterest expense primarily reflects investments in technology and expenses associated with the continued consolidation of our real estate. These expenses were partially offset by lower staff expense, primarily driven by the impact of vesting of long-term stock awards for retirement eligible employees recorded in 1Q18, and the favorable impact of a stronger U.S. dollar.

•
The total cost of relocating our corporate headquarters is estimated to be $75 million, of which $12 million was recorded in 2Q18. We expect to record the remaining expense in 4Q18.

(a)
In 1Q18, we adopted new accounting guidance included in ASU 2017-07, Compensation-Retirement Benefits - Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost, which required the reclassification of the components of pension and other post-retirement costs, other than the service cost component. As a result, staff expense increased and other expense decreased. Prior periods have been reclassified.
(b)
Beginning in 1Q18, clearing expense, which was previously included in other expense, was included with sub-custodian expense. Prior periods have been reclassified.
(c)
Beginning in 1Q18, M&I, litigation and restructuring charges are no longer separately disclosed. Expenses previously reported in this line have been reclassified to existing expense categories, primarily other expense.

BNY Mellon 2Q18 Earnings Release

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION – EXPLANATION OF GAAP AND NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

BNY Mellon has included in this Earnings Release certain Non-GAAP financial measures on a tangible basis, as a supplement to GAAP information. Tangible common shareholders’ equity excludes goodwill and intangible assets, net of deferred tax liabilities. BNY Mellon believes that the return on tangible common equity measure is an additional useful measure for investors because it presents a measure of those assets that can generate income. BNY Mellon has provided a measure of tangible book value per common share, which it believes provides additional useful information as to the level of tangible assets in relation to shares of common stock outstanding.

BNY Mellon has presented the operating margin for the Investment Management business net of distribution and servicing expense that was passed to third parties who distribute or service our managed funds. BNY Mellon believes that this measure is useful when evaluating the performance of the Investment Management business relative to industry competitors.

The following table presents the reconciliation of the return on common equity and tangible common equity.
