CEO Commentary
“We are in an increasingly uncertain environment, including the war in Ukraine, volatile markets, and persistently higher inflation which will require more meaningful monetary policy adjustments. It is in times like these that our strong, lower risk balance sheet and the resiliency of our business model differentiates us,” Todd Gibbons, Chief Executive Officer, said.

Mr. Gibbons added, “We continued to see healthy underlying momentum across most of our businesses. Reported revenue of $3.9 billion was flat year-over-year, or up 2% excluding an approximately $90 million reduction resulting from government sanctions and our actions related to Russia.”

“We generated a significant amount of capital and returned close to 60% of earnings to our shareholders, primarily through common dividends. Throughout the quarter, we took actions in the investment securities portfolio to temper the immediate impact to capital from higher interest rates. And we expect higher interest rates to be a positive for both fee and net interest revenue going forward,” Mr. Gibbons concluded.

Robin Vince, President and CEO-elect, added, “It is a privilege to be appointed as President and CEO-elect of this great firm, which has benefited enormously from Todd’s leadership over the past few years. He and I are working through the transition, and I look forward to working with my colleagues on the Executive Committee and our 50,000 talented employees around the world to realize the opportunity that lies ahead.”

KEY DRIVERS (comparisons are 1Q22 vs. 1Q21, unless otherwise stated)

•Total revenue was flat, or increased 2% excluding a reduction related to Russia (b), primarily reflecting:
•Fee revenue decreased 3% including an $88 million reduction primarily due to accelerated amortization of deferred costs for depositary receipts services related to Russia. The decrease also reflects the impact of lost business in the prior year in both Pershing and Corporate Trust, the unfavorable impact of a stronger U.S. dollar and lower foreign exchange revenue, partially offset by higher market values. Excluding a reduction related to Russia, fee revenue was flat (b).
•Investment and other revenue increased primarily reflecting a strategic equity investment gain in 1Q22 and a $39 million impairment for a renewable energy investment recorded in 1Q21, partially offset by lower seed capital results.
•Net interest revenue increased 7% primarily reflecting higher interest rates on interest-earning assets, a change in asset mix and lower funding expense, partially offset by lower interest-earning assets.
•Provision for credit losses was $2 million compared with a benefit of $83 million.
•Noninterest expense increased approximately 5.5% primarily reflecting higher investments in growth, infrastructure and efficiency initiatives and higher revenue-related expenses, partially offset by the favorable impact of a stronger U.S. dollar.
•Effective tax rate of 16.7% includes a benefit from the annual vesting of stock-based awards.

Assets under custody and/or administration (“AUC/A”) and Assets under management (“AUM”)
•AUC/A of $45.5 trillion, increased 9%, primarily reflecting client inflows, net new business and higher market values, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of a stronger U.S. dollar.
•AUM of $2.3 trillion, increased 2%, primarily reflecting net inflows and higher market values, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of a stronger U.S. dollar.

Capital and liquidity
•Repurchased 1.9 million common shares for $118 million; Dividends of $278 million to common shareholders (including dividend-equivalents on share-based awards).
•Return on common equity (“ROE”) – 8%; Return on tangible common equity (“ROTCE”) – 15% (b).
•Common Equity Tier 1 (“CET1”) ratio – 10.1%.
•Tier 1 leverage ratio – 5.3%.
•Average liquidity coverage ratio (“LCR”) – 109%.
•Total Loss Absorbing Capacity (“TLAC”) ratios exceed minimum requirements.

KEY DRIVERS

•The drivers of the total revenue variances by line of business are indicated below. Also see page 7 for information related to money market fee waivers.
•Asset Servicing – The year-over-year increase primarily reflects a gain on a strategic equity investment and higher market values and net interest revenue, partially offset by lower foreign exchange revenue. The sequential increase primarily reflects lower money market fee waivers, higher strategic equity investment gains, increased activity from existing clients and higher net interest revenue.
•Issuer Services – The year-over-year and sequential decreases primarily reflect the accelerated amortization of deferred costs for depositary receipts services related to Russia. The year-over-year decrease also reflects lower depositary receipt fees and the impact of lost business in the prior year in Corporate Trust, partially offset by higher net interest revenue. The sequential decrease also reflects lower depositary receipts fees, partially offset by lower money market fee waivers.
•Noninterest expense increased year-over-year and sequentially primarily reflecting higher investments in growth, infrastructure and efficiency initiatives. The year-over-year increase also reflects higher revenue-related expenses, partially offset by the favorable impact of a stronger U.S. dollar. The sequential increase was partially offset by lower litigation reserves and revenue-related expenses.

(a)    Regulatory capital ratios for March 31, 2022 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 March 31, 2022 and Dec. 31, 2021 was the Standardized Approach.
(b)    Tangible book value per common share – Non-GAAP excludes goodwill and intangible assets, net of deferred tax liabilities. See “Explanation of GAAP and Non-GAAP financial measures” on page 10 for information on this Non-GAAP measure.


•CET1 capital totaled $17.6 billion and Tier 1 capital totaled $22.3 billion at March 31, 2022, both decreasing approximately $1.2 billion, compared with Dec. 31, 2021. The decreases primarily reflect unrealized losses on securities available-for-sale and capital deployed through dividends, partially offset by capital generated through earnings. The Tier 1 leverage ratio decreased compared with Dec. 31, 2021, driven by the decrease in capital, partially offset by lower average assets.

•Net interest revenue increased year-over-year primarily reflecting higher interest rates on interest-earning assets, a change in asset mix and lower funding expense, partially offset by lower interest-earning assets.

•Sequentially, the increase primarily reflects higher interest rates on interest-earning assets. This was partially offset by higher funding expense and lower interest-earning assets.

BNY Mellon 1Q22 Earnings Release
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. We believe that the return on tangible common equity – Non-GAAP 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 – Non-GAAP is additional useful information because it presents the level of tangible assets in relation to shares of common stock outstanding.

Net interest revenue, on a fully taxable equivalent (“FTE”) basis – Non-GAAP and net interest margin (FTE) – Non-GAAP and other FTE measures include the tax equivalent adjustments on tax-exempt income which allows for the comparison 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.

BNY Mellon has also included the adjusted pre-tax operating margin – Non-GAAP, which is the pre-tax operating margin for the Investment and Wealth Management business segment, net of distribution and servicing expense that was passed to third parties who distribute or service our managed funds. We believe that this measure is useful when evaluating the performance of the Investment and Wealth Management business segment relative to industry competitors.

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

BNY Mellon has presented revenue measures excluding a reduction in total revenue and fee revenue primarily related to accelerated amortization of deferred costs for depositary receipts services related to Russia. These measures are provided to permit investors to view the financial measures on a basis consistent with how management views the businesses.
