GENERATED $798 MILLION OF TIER 1 COMMON EQUITY IN 1Q11

   

TIER 1 COMMON RATIO 12.4% AND RETURN ON TIER 1 COMMON 21%

NEW YORK, April 19, 2011 — The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (“BNY Mellon”) (NYSE:BK) today reported first quarter net income applicable to common shareholders of $625 million, or $0.50 per common share, compared with net income from continuing operations applicable to common shareholders of $601 million, or $0.49 per common share, in the first quarter of 2010 and $690 million, or $0.55 per common share, in the fourth quarter of 2010.

“Over the past year, unlike many, we continued to grow revenue and earnings despite the challenging environment, and did so with a clean balance sheet. Sequentially, revenue was lower due to seasonality, as were expenses despite higher litigation costs,” said Robert P. Kelly, chairman and chief executive officer of BNY Mellon.

“A fundamental strength of our business model is the ability to rapidly grow capital and generate a high return on it. Specifically, in the first quarter of 2011, our capital grew at an annualized rate of 28 percent and we generated a 21 percent return on it. Over time this provides us with superior flexibility to invest in our businesses and return capital to our shareholders,” added Mr. Kelly.

 

 

Note:    See supplemental information beginning on page 9 for the calculation of the Tier 1 common ratio and return on Tier 1 common.

(b) Total revenue from the Acquisitions (described below) was $270 million in the first quarter of 2011 and $253 million in the fourth quarter of 2010.

 

 

Record levels of assets under custody and administration and assets under management in the first quarter of 2011 reflect higher market values and net new business. Assets under custody and administration amounted to $25.5 trillion at March 31, 2011, an increase of 14% compared with the prior year and 2% sequentially. The increase compared with March 31, 2010 also reflects the acquisitions of Global Investment Servicing (“GIS”) on July 1, 2010 and BHF Asset Servicing GmbH (“BAS”) on Aug. 2, 2010 (collectively, “the Acquisitions”). Assets under management, excluding securities lending assets, amounted to $1.2 trillion at March 31, 2011. This represents an increase of 11% compared with the prior year and 5% sequentially.

 

 

Investment services fees totaled $1.7 billion, an increase of 27% year-over-year and a decrease of 2% sequentially. The year-over-year results reflect the Acquisitions, new business and higher market values. The sequential decrease resulted from seasonally lower depositary receipts revenue, partially offset by new business and higher market values.

 

 

Investment management and performance fees were $764 million, an increase of 11% year-over-year and a decrease of 5% sequentially. Excluding performance fees, these fees totaled $747 million, an increase of 11% compared with the prior year period and 3% sequentially. Both increases reflect higher market values and net new business.

 

 

Foreign exchange and other trading revenue totaled $198 million compared with $262 million in the first quarter of 2010 and $258 million in the fourth quarter of 2010. In the first quarter of 2011, foreign exchange revenue totaled $173 million, a decrease of 1% year-over-year and 16% sequentially as increased volumes were more than offset by declines in volatility. Other trading revenue was $25 million in the first quarter of 2011, a decrease of $62 million compared with the first quarter of 2010 and $27 million compared with the fourth quarter of 2010. Both decreases were driven by lower fixed income and derivatives trading revenue.

 

 

Investment and Other income totaled $81 million, compared with $145 million in the first quarter of 2010 and $80 million in the fourth quarter of 2010. The decrease year-over-year primarily reflects a reduction in foreign currency translation revenue and lower lease residual gains.

 

 

Net interest revenue and the net interest margin (FTE) were $698 million and 1.49% compared with $720 million and 1.54% sequentially. The sequential decrease in net interest revenue was primarily driven by the continued impact of the low interest rate environment, partially offset by higher average assets.

There was no provision for credit losses in the first quarter of 2011, compared with a charge of $35 million in the first quarter of 2010 and a credit of $22 million in the fourth quarter of 2010.

(a) Noninterest expense from the Acquisitions was $203 million in the first quarter of 2011 and $196 million in the fourth quarter of 2010.

N/A – Not applicable.

 

 

Total noninterest expense (excluding amortization of intangible assets, restructuring charges, merger and integration (“M&I”) expenses and special litigation reserves) (Non-GAAP) increased 20% compared with the prior year period, primarily driven by the impact of the Acquisitions, and decreased 2% sequentially. The year-over-year increase, excluding the impact of the Acquisitions, reflects higher expenses associated with our revenue mix, higher litigation expense in 1Q11, higher pension and healthcare expenses, and continued investment in our franchise. The sequential decrease reflects seasonality, as well as higher expenses in the fourth quarter of 2010, partially offset by higher litigation and pension and healthcare expenses.

The effective tax rate was 29.3% in the first quarter of 2011, and on a continuing operations basis, was 29.1% in the first quarter of 2010 and 27.3% in the fourth quarter of 2010.

The unrealized net of tax gain on our total investment securities portfolio was $279 million at March 31, 2011 compared with $150 million at Dec. 31, 2010. The increase in the valuation of the investment securities portfolio was driven by narrowing credit spreads on non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities (“RMBS”).

We continued our strong capital generation in 1Q11. Our Tier 1 common equity increased $798 million, or 7%, compared with Dec. 31, 2010, primarily driven by earnings retention.

Quarterly dividend – On March 22, 2011, The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation announced a quarterly common stock dividend of $0.13 per common share, an increase of 44% from the prior period. This cash dividend is payable on May 10, 2011 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on April 29, 2011.

Organization of our businesses

In the first quarter of 2011, BNY Mellon realigned its internal reporting structure and business presentation to focus on its two principal businesses, Investment Management and Investment Services. The realignment reflects management’s current approach to assessing performance and decisions regarding resource allocations. Investment Management includes the former Asset Management and Wealth Management businesses. Investment Services includes the former Asset Servicing, Issuer Services and Clearing Services businesses as well as the Cash Management business previously included in the Treasury Services business. The credit-related activities previously included in the Treasury Services business, are now included in the Other segment. Accordingly, the income statement has been changed to reflect this realignment. The following are the changes to the income statement:

 

 

Investment management and performance fees consist of the former asset and wealth management fee revenue; and

 

 

Investment services fees consist of the former securities servicing fees, including asset servicing, issuer services, clearing services, as well as treasury services fee revenue.

All prior periods have been reclassified. The reclassifications did not affect the results of operations. See the Earnings Review for additional information on our businesses.

Consolidated net income applicable to common shareholders

Net income applicable to common shareholders totaled $625 million, or $0.50 per common share, in the first quarter of 2011, compared with net income applicable to common shareholders, including discontinued operations, of $679 million, or $0.54 per common share, in the fourth quarter of 2010 and $559 million, or $0.46 per common share, in the first quarter of 2010.

Supplemental information – Explanation of Non-GAAP financial measures

BNY Mellon has included in this release certain Non-GAAP financial measures based upon tangible common shareholders’ equity. BNY Mellon believes that the ratio of tangible common shareholders’ equity to tangible assets of operations is a measure of capital strength that provides additional useful information to investors, supplementing the Tier 1 and Total capital ratios which are utilized by regulatory authorities. Unlike the Tier 1 and Total capital ratios, the tangible common shareholders’ equity ratio fully incorporates those changes in investment securities valuations which are reflected in total shareholders’ equity. In addition, this ratio is expressed as a percentage of the actual book value of assets, as opposed to a percentage of a risk-based reduced value established in accordance with regulatory requirements, although BNY Mellon in its calculation has excluded certain assets which are given a zero percent risk-weighting for regulatory purposes. This ratio is also informative to investors in BNY Mellon’s common stock because, unlike the Tier 1 capital ratio, it excludes trust preferred securities issued by BNY Mellon. Further, BNY Mellon believes that the return on tangible common equity measure, which excludes goodwill and intangible assets net of deferred tax liabilities, is a useful additional measure for investors because it presents a measure of BNY Mellon’s performance in reference to those assets which are productive in generating income.

BNY Mellon has provided a measure of tangible book value per share, which it believes provides additional useful information as to the level of such assets in relation to shares of common stock outstanding. BNY Mellon has presented revenue measures which exclude the effect of net securities gains; and expense measures which exclude special litigation reserves taken in the first quarter of 2010, restructuring charges, M&I expenses and amortization of intangible assets expenses. Return on equity measures and operating margin measures, which exclude some or all of these items, are also presented. Operating margin measures also exclude noncontrolling interests related to consolidated investment management funds. BNY Mellon believes that these measures are useful to investors because they permit a focus on period to period comparisons which relate to the ability of BNY Mellon to enhance revenues and limit expenses in circumstances where such matters are within BNY Mellon’s control. The excluded items in general relate to situations where accounting rules require certain ongoing charges as a result of prior transactions, or where we have incurred charges unrelated to operational initiatives. M&I expenses primarily relate to the Acquisitions which were consummated in the third quarter of 2010 and the merger with Mellon Financial Corporation in 2007. M&I expenses generally continue for approximately three years after the transaction, and can vary on a year-to-year basis depending on the stage of the integration. BNY Mellon believes that the exclusion of M&I expenses provides investors with a focus on BNY Mellon’s business as it would appear on a consolidated going-forward basis, after such M&I expenses have ceased, typically after approximately three years. Future periods will not reflect such M&I expenses, and thus may be more easily compared to our current results if M&I expenses are excluded. With regards to the exclusion of net securities gains, BNY Mellon’s primary businesses are Investment Management and Investment Services. The management of these businesses is evaluated on the basis of the ability of these businesses to generate fee and net interest revenue and to control expenses, and not on the results of BNY Mellon’s investment securities portfolio. The investment securities portfolio is managed within the Other group of businesses. The primary objective of the investment securities portfolio is to generate net interest revenue from the liquidity generated by BNY Mellon’s processing businesses. BNY Mellon does not generally originate or trade the securities in the investment securities portfolio. The presentation of financial measures excluding special litigation reserves taken in the first quarter of 2010 provides investors the ability to view performance metrics on the basis that management views results. The presentation of income of consolidated investment management funds, net of noncontrolling interest related to the consolidation of certain asset management funds permits investors to view revenue on a basis consistent with prior periods. Restructuring charges relate to migrating positions to global growth centers and the elimination of certain positions. Excluding these charges permits investors to view expenses on a basis consistent

with prior periods. BNY Mellon believes that these presentations, as a supplement to GAAP information, gives investors a clearer picture of the results of its primary businesses.

In this Earnings Release, certain amounts are presented on an FTE basis. We believe that this presentation provides comparability 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.

Each of these measures as described above is used by management to monitor financial performance, both on a company-wide and business-level basis.
