CEO Commentary
“I am privileged and excited to lead this great organization. Our focus on strengthening our performance culture, attracting talent and improving quality and operational efficiency has enabled us to be a stronger partner to our clients. I am proud and thankful for the effort that our employees put in each and every day to provide an outstanding client experience. We have an ambitious agenda and I believe that we’re absolutely on the right path,” Todd Gibbons, interim Chief Executive Officer, said.

“We’re encouraged by fee growth across many of the businesses within Investment Services. Interest rate headwinds and deposit mix continue to challenge net interest revenue and Asset Management continues to be negatively impacted by prior-year outflows. We are taking actions to improve performance and we remain focused on investing in our future while controlling our overall expenses. Our company is well positioned to continue returning significant amounts of capital to shareholders,” Mr. Gibbons concluded.

KEY DRIVERS (comparisons are 3Q19 vs. 3Q18, unless otherwise stated)
Total revenue decreased 5% primarily reflecting:
Fee revenue decreased 1% primarily reflecting the cumulative AUM outflows since 3Q18, lower performance fees and the unfavorable impact of a stronger U.S. dollar, partially offset by higher fees in Issuer Services and Clearance and Collateral Management and higher client assets and volumes in Pershing.
Net interest revenue decreased 18% primarily reflecting the lease-related impairment of $70 million, higher interest-bearing deposit and funding costs and lower noninterest-bearing deposit balances, partially offset by the benefit of higher rates earned on interest-earning assets. The lease-related impairment decreased net interest revenue 8%. Sequentially, nearly all of the 9% decrease in net interest revenue was driven by the lease-related impairment.
Provision for credit losses was a credit of $16 million, due in part from the sale of the loans related to a California utility company that filed for bankruptcy.
Noninterest expense decreased 5%. Nearly all of the decrease was driven by the reduction of previously established reserves for potential tax-related exposure of certain investment management funds that we manage, net of staff expense, and lower litigation expense. The remaining slight decrease primarily reflects the continued investments in technology, which were more than offset by lower other expenses and the favorable impact of a stronger U.S. dollar.
Effective tax rate of 19.1% compared with 16.5% in 3Q18, which was impacted by adjustments to the provisional estimates for U.S. tax legislation and other changes.

Assets under custody and/or administration (“AUC/A”) and Assets under management (“AUM”)
AUC/A of $35.8 trillion, increased 4%, primarily reflecting higher market values and net new business, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of a stronger U.S. dollar.
AUM of $1.9 trillion, increased 3%, primarily reflecting higher market values, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of a stronger U.S. dollar (principally versus the British pound) and net outflows.

Capital and liquidity
Repurchased 21.3 million common shares for $981 million and paid $294 million in dividends to common shareholders.
Return on common equity (“ROE”) of 11%; Return on tangible common equity (“ROTCE”) of 21% (a).
Common Equity Tier 1 (“CET1”) ratio – 11.1%.
Supplementary leverage ratio (“SLR”) – 6.1%.
Average liquidity coverage ratio (“LCR”) – 117%.
Total Loss Absorbing Capacity (“TLAC”) ratios exceed minimum requirements.

(b)
Represents the total amount of securities on loan in our agency securities lending program managed by the Investment Services business. Excludes securities for which BNY Mellon acts as agent on behalf of CIBC Mellon clients, which totaled $66 billion at Sept. 30, 2019, $64 billion at June 30, 2019 and $69 billion at Sept. 30, 2018.


KEY DRIVERS

The drivers of the total revenue variances by line of business are indicated below.
Asset Servicing - The year-over-year decrease primarily reflects lower client activity, securities lending revenue and net interest revenue and the unfavorable impact of a stronger U.S. dollar. The sequential increase primarily reflects higher foreign exchange and other trading revenue.
Pershing - Both increases primarily reflect growth in client assets and accounts. The year-over-year increase was partially offset by lower net interest revenue.
Issuer Services - Both increases primarily reflect higher Depositary Receipts revenue, partially offset by lower net interest revenue in Corporate Trust. The year-over-year increase also reflects higher volumes in Corporate Trust.
Treasury Services - Both decreases primarily reflect lower net interest revenue.
Clearance and Collateral Management - Both increases primarily reflect growth in clearance volumes and collateral management from new business. The year-over-year increase was partially offset by lower net interest revenue.

Noninterest expense decreased year-over-year primarily driven by lower litigation and staff expenses. The sequential increase primarily reflects higher staff expense.

KEY DRIVERS

The drivers of the total revenue variances by line of business are indicated below.
Asset Management - The year-over-year decrease primarily reflects the cumulative AUM outflows since 3Q18, lower performance fees, the impact of hedging activities and the unfavorable impact of a stronger U.S. dollar (principally versus the British pound), partially offset by higher market values. The sequential decrease primarily reflects the impact of hedging activities and the unfavorable impact of a stronger U.S. dollar, partially offset by higher market values.
Wealth Management - Both decreases primarily reflect lower net interest revenue, partially offset by higher market values.

Noninterest expense decreased year-over-year and sequentially primarily reflecting the net reduction of the reserves for tax-related exposure of certain investment management funds and the favorable impact of a stronger U.S. dollar. The year-over-year decrease also reflects lower staff expense. The sequential decrease was partially offset by higher distribution and servicing expenses.

Regulatory capital ratios for Sept. 30, 2019 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)
Tangible book value per common shareNon-GAAP excludes goodwill and intangible assets, net of deferred tax liabilities. See “Supplemental information – Explanation of GAAP and Non-GAAP financial measures” on page 8 for information on this Non-GAAP measure.


CET1 capital totaled $18.3 billion at Sept. 30, 2019, a decrease of $276 million compared with June 30, 2019. The decrease primarily reflects capital deployed through common stock repurchases and dividend payments, partially offset by capital generated through earnings.

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.
bps – basis points.


Net interest revenue decreased year-over-year primarily reflecting the lease-related impairment of $70 million, higher interest-bearing deposit and funding costs and lower noninterest-bearing deposit balances, partially offset by the benefit of higher rates earned on interest-earning assets. The lease-related impairment decreased net interest revenue 8% year-over-year and the 3Q19 net interest margin by 10 basis points. The sequential decrease was primarily driven by the lease-related impairment of $70 million. Lower deposit and funding costs and the impact of hedging were largely offset by the impact of lower rates on interest-earning assets. The impact of hedging activities is offset in foreign exchange and other trading revenue.

BNY Mellon 3Q19 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, which exclude goodwill and intangible assets, net of deferred tax liabilities. BNY Mellon believes that the return on tangible common equity is additional useful information for investors because it presents a measure of those assets that can generate income, and the tangible book value per common share is additional useful information because it presents the level of tangible assets in relation to shares of common stock outstanding.

BNY Mellon has also included 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.

For the reconciliations of these Non-GAAP measures, see “Supplemental Information - Explanation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Financial Measures” in the Financial Supplement available at www.bnymellon.com.
