CEO Commentary
Robin Vince, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “BNY Mellon delivered good financial performance amid a very dynamic operating environment, and we continued taking actions to position the firm for higher underlying growth and enhanced operational efficiency over time.”

“The company reported earnings per share of $1.30, up 26% year-over-year, on $4.5 billion of revenue, up 5% year-over-year, and generated a return on tangible common equity of 23% in the second quarter. Our focus on revenue growth and expense discipline allowed us to drive meaningful positive operating leverage and improve our pre-tax margin to 30% while we continued making significant investments in our future,” Mr. Vince added.

“In the second quarter we saw particular strength in Clearance and Collateral Management and Depositary Receipts, and our recently launched solutions, such as Pershing’s innovative Wove advisory platform, give us confidence that revenues will build over time,” Mr. Vince further noted.

“Following the release of the Federal Reserve’s 2023 bank stress test last month, we increased our common dividend by 14% starting this quarter, and our overall approach to maintaining a high-quality, resilient balance sheet and returning capital to shareholders remains unchanged,” Mr. Vince concluded.

KEY DRIVERS (comparisons are 2Q23 vs. 2Q22, unless otherwise stated)
Total revenue increased 5%, primarily reflecting:
Fee revenue decreased 2%, primarily reflecting lower foreign exchange revenue, the impact of the Alcentra divestiture and the mix of cumulative AUM net inflows, partially offset by the abatement of money market fee waivers.
Net interest revenue increased 33%, primarily reflecting higher interest rates, partially offset by changes in balance sheet size and mix.
Provision for credit losses was $5 million, primarily reflecting changes in the macroeconomic forecast driving increased reserves related to commercial real estate, which were partially offset by a reduction in reserves related to financial institutions.
Noninterest expense was flat, or increased 1% excluding notable items (c), related to litigation and severance. The increase reflects higher investments and revenue-related expenses, as well as the impact of inflation, partially offset by the favorable impact of efficiency savings and the impact of the Alcentra divestiture.
Effective tax rate of 20.2%.

Assets under custody and/or administration (“AUC/A”) and Assets under management (“AUM”)
AUC/A increased 9%, primarily reflecting higher market values, client inflows and net new business.
AUM decreased 2%, primarily reflecting lower market values driven by the year-over-year decrease in UK fixed income markets and the divestiture of Alcentra, partially offset by net inflows and the favorable impact of a weaker U.S. dollar.

Capital and liquidity
$297 million of dividends to common shareholders (d).
$448 million of common share repurchases.
Return on common equity (“ROE”) – 12%; Return on tangible common equity (“ROTCE”) – 23% (c).
Common Equity Tier 1 (“CET1”) ratio – 11.1%.
Tier 1 leverage ratio – 5.7%.
Average liquidity coverage ratio (“LCR”) – 120%; Average net stable funding ratio (“NSFR”) – 136%.

Asset Servicing – The year-over-year increase primarily reflects higher net interest revenue, partially offset by lower foreign exchange revenue. The sequential increase primarily reflects higher client activity, partially offset by lower foreign exchange revenue.
Issuer Services – The year-over-year increase primarily reflects higher net interest revenue and Depositary Receipts revenue. The sequential increase primarily reflects higher Depositary Receipts revenue, partially offset by lower net interest revenue.
Noninterest expense decreased year-over-year, primarily reflecting lower litigation reserves and the favorable impact of efficiency savings, partially offset by higher investments and the impact of inflation.

(a)    Regulatory capital and liquidity ratios for June 30, 2023 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 June 30, 2023, March 31, 2023 and Dec. 31, 2022 was the Advanced Approaches.
(b)    The reporting requirement for the average NSFR became effective in 2Q23, inclusive of reporting the average 1Q23 ratio.
(c)    Tangible book value per common shareNon-GAAP excludes goodwill and intangible assets, net of deferred tax liabilities. See “Explanation of GAAP and Non-GAAP financial measures” beginning on page 9 for information on this Non-GAAP measure.


CET1 capital totaled $18.1 billion and Tier 1 capital totaled $23.0 billion at June 30, 2023, both increasing compared with March 31, 2023. The increases primarily reflect capital generated through earnings, partially offset by common stock repurchase activity. The Tier 1 leverage ratio decreased compared with March 31, 2023, as an increase in capital was more than offset by an increase in average assets.

BNY Mellon 2Q23 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 total noninterest expense, income before taxes and diluted earnings per common share measures excluding litigation reserves, severance and a disposal loss.
