CEO Commentary
“Throughout the coronavirus crisis, we remain focused on the health and wellbeing of our people, providing continuity of service to our clients and maintaining our balance sheet so we are able to assist our clients. Despite the unprecedented global market disruption, we have stayed fully operational, demonstrating our resiliency and our commitment and capacity to support our clients when they need us most,” Todd Gibbons, Chief Executive Officer, said.

“Our fee revenue increased 10 percent as we experienced elevated transaction volumes and heightened volatility in March. Looking ahead, we and our clients face continued market and economic uncertainty. While it is too early to predict the impact, our business model is financially resilient. We plan to maintain our conservative risk profile, strong capital and high-quality, liquid balance sheet, which will position us to withstand severe stress and to support our clients,” Mr. Gibbons added.

“I am deeply honored to become CEO of this great company. While looking ahead to drive improved performance and capabilities and ensure BNY Mellon remains a great place to work, in the immediate term we are focused on being there for our clients. Our team’s efforts on this front have been exceptional. I have been incredibly gratified by the feedback from clients, who see our people going above and beyond to deliver great service. I want to thank our clients for their ongoing partnership and thank our employees around the globe for their exceptional dedication and professionalism. I am confident in our ability to weather this adversity and to carry forward that energy into advancing our growth agenda as the world recovers,” Mr. Gibbons concluded.

KEY DRIVERS (comparisons are 1Q20 vs. 1Q19, unless otherwise stated)
Total revenue increased 5% primarily reflecting:
Fee revenue increased 10% primarily reflecting higher foreign exchange and other trading revenue, higher transaction volumes across the investment services businesses and higher performance fees, partially offset by equity investment losses, including seed capital.
Net interest revenue decreased 3% primarily reflecting lower interest rates on interest-earning assets and the impact of hedging activities (primarily offset in foreign exchange and other trading revenue). This was partially offset by the benefit of lower deposit and funding rates and higher deposits, securities and loans.
Provision for credit losses of $169 million primarily reflecting the macroeconomic environment in conjunction with the application of the new current expected credit losses accounting standard.
Noninterest expense increased slightly primarily reflecting the continued investments in technology and higher pension expense, partially offset by lower staff expense and the favorable impact of a stronger U.S. dollar.
Effective tax rate of 21.6%.

Assets under custody and/or administration (“AUC/A”) and Assets under management (“AUM”)
AUC/A of $35.2 trillion, increased 2%, primarily reflecting higher client inflows, partially offset by lower market values and the unfavorable impact of a stronger U.S. dollar.
AUM of $1.8 trillion, decreased 2%, primarily reflecting the unfavorable impact of a stronger U.S. dollar (principally versus the British pound).

Capital and liquidity
Repurchased 21.7 million common shares for $985 million and paid $282 million in dividends to common shareholders.
Return on common equity (“ROE”) of 10%; Return on tangible common equity (“ROTCE”) of 20% (a).
Common Equity Tier 1 (“CET1”) ratio – 11.3%.
Supplementary leverage ratio (“SLR”) – 5.6%.
Average liquidity coverage ratio (“LCR”) – 115%.
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.
Asset Servicing - Both increases primarily reflect higher foreign exchange and other trading revenue. The year-over-year increase also reflects higher volumes from existing clients, partially offset by lower net interest revenue. The decrease in net interest revenue primarily reflects lower rates, partially offset by higher deposits and loans.
Pershing - Both increases primarily reflect higher clearing volumes and a one-time fee. The year-over-year increase also reflects growth in client assets and accounts.
Issuer Services - The year-over-year increase reflects higher Corporate Trust and Depositary Receipts fees. The sequential increase primarily reflects higher Depositary Receipts fees.
Treasury Services - Both increases primarily reflect higher fees and net interest revenue. The increase in net interest revenue was driven by deposit growth.
Clearance and Collateral Management - Both increases primarily reflect growth in collateral management and clearance volumes and higher net interest revenue.

Noninterest expense increased slightly year-over-year primarily driven by continued investments in technology. The sequential decrease primarily reflects lower severance and litigation expenses, partially offset by higher other 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 equity investment losses, including seed capital, and an unfavorable change in the mix of AUM since 1Q19, partially offset by higher performance fees and market values. The sequential decrease primarily reflects equity investment losses, including seed capital, the impact of hedging activities and lower market values.
Wealth Management - The year-over-year decrease primarily reflects lower net interest revenue due to lower interest rates, partially offset by the impact of higher deposits.

Noninterest expense increased year-over-year primarily reflecting higher professional, legal and other purchased services expense. The sequential decrease primarily reflects lower severance expense.

Regulatory capital ratios for March 31, 2020 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 Dec. 31, 2019, was the Advanced Approaches, and for March 31, 2020 was the Standardized Approaches for the CET1 and Tier 1 capital ratios and the Advanced Approach for the Total capital ratio.
(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 $18.5 billion at March 31, 2020, a decrease of $75 million compared with Dec. 31, 2019. The decrease primarily reflects capital deployed through common stock repurchases and dividend payments, partially offset by capital generated through earnings.

bps – basis points.


Net interest revenue decreased year-over-year, primarily reflecting lower interest rates on interest-earning assets and the impact of hedging activities (primarily offset in foreign exchange and other trading revenue). This was partially offset by the benefit of lower deposit and funding rates and higher deposits, securities and loans.

Sequentially, the favorable impact of higher deposits, securities and loans was offset by the impact of hedging activities (primarily offset in foreign exchange and other trading revenue) and lower rates.

BNY Mellon 1Q20 Earnings Release

SEGMENT REPORTING CHANGES

In the first quarter of 2020, we reclassified the results of certain services provided between the segments from noninterest expense to fee and other revenue. This activity is offset in the Other segment and relates to services that are also provided to third-parties and provides consistency with the reporting of the revenues. This adjustment had no impact on income before taxes of the businesses. Prior periods have been restated.

In the first quarter of 2020, we reclassified the results related to certain lending activities from the Wealth Management business to the Pershing business. These loans were originated by the Wealth Management business as a service to Pershing clients. This resulted in an increase in total revenue, noninterest expense and income before taxes in the Pershing business and corresponding decrease in the Wealth Management business. Prior periods have been restated.

For additional information on the segment reporting changes, see “Segment Reporting Changes” in the Financial Supplement available at www.bnymellon.com.


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.

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 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.
