The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation 2Q09 Quarterly Earnings Review

 

 

NON-GAAP MEASURES

The Company has included in this review certain Non-GAAP measures based upon tangible common shareholders’ equity. The Company believes that the ratio of tangible common shareholders’ equity to tangible assets, is a measure of capital strength that adds additional useful information to investors, supplementing the Tier 1 capital ratio which is utilized by regulatory authorities. Unlike the Tier 1 ratio, the tangible common shareholders’ equity ratio fully incorporates those changes in securities valuations which are reflected in 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 the Company 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 the Company’s common stock because, unlike the Tier 1 capital ratio, it excludes preferred stock and trust preferred securities issued by the Company. Further, the Company believes that the return on tangible common equity measure, which excludes goodwill and intangible assets net of deferred tax liability, is a useful additional measure for investors because it presents a measure of the Company’s performance in reference to those assets which are productive in generating income.

The Company has also provided the 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. The Company has presented revenue measures which exclude the effect of investment write-downs and a SILO charge; expense measures which exclude M&I expenses, intangible amortization expenses, the FDIC special assessment; and measures which utilize net income excluding tax items such as the benefit of tax settlements. Return on equity measures and operating margin measures which exclude some or all of these items are also presented. The Company believes that these measures are useful to investors because they permit a focus on period to period comparisons which relate to the ability of the Company to enhance revenues and limit expenses in circumstances where such matters are within the Company’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 valuation or other accounting/regulatory requirements require charges unrelated to operational initiatives. The SILO charges relate to a one-time settlement with the IRS of tax structured lease transactions in 2008. We also present earnings information excluding the TARP dividend and redemption premium, so as to provide investors with a better understanding of operational results. In this earnings review, 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 on a business segment basis. Below is a listing of certain financial measures which have been impacted by the exclusion and/or adjustment of certain items.

Revenue: Investment write-downs and SILO charges.

Noninterest expense: Merger & integration (“M&I”) expenses; intangible amortization expense and FDIC special assessment.

Earnings per share: Investment write-downs, M&I expenses, FDIC special assessment, intangible amortization expense, SILO charges, the benefit of tax settlements and the TARP redemption premium and dividend.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

On June 30, 2009, we adopted discontinued operations accounting for Mellon United National Bank located in Florida. It was determined that this business no longer fits our strategic focus on our asset management and securities servicing businesses. Accordingly, the income statements for all periods in this Earnings Review have been restated. The restatement resulted in a reduction to previously reported levels of net interest revenue and the net interest margin; a slight reduction in treasury services and other fee revenue; a reduction in the provision for credit losses; a reduction in noninterest expense; and a change in continuing earnings per share. This business was formerly included in the Other segment.

KEY POINTS

 

 

Asset servicing fees – Year-over-year results reflect the impact of continued strong new business wins which were more than offset by lower securities lending revenue and lower market values. The sequential increase primarily reflects the impact of new business, higher transaction volumes, higher market values and securities lending seasonality.

 

Issuer services fees – The decrease compared with the second quarter of 2008 reflects lower Depositary Receipts revenue due primarily to a decline in transaction fees and lower Corporate Trust fees due to a lower level of fixed income issuances globally and lower money market fees, partially offset by new business. The increase sequentially primarily reflects new business and seasonality related to shareowner services revenue, partially offset by a lower level of corporate actions in Depositary Receipts.

 

Clearing services fees – Year-over-year results reflect higher trading volumes which were more than offset by lower money market related fees and lower asset valuations. The decrease sequentially primarily resulted from lower money market related fees.

 

Asset and wealth management fees, including performance fees – The year-over-year decrease reflects global weakness in market values, partially offset by higher performance fees. The increase sequentially reflects improved market values and higher performance fees. Both periods were impacted by lower fees related to money market and alternative asset classes.

 

Foreign exchange and other trading was $237 million compared with $308 million in 2Q08 and $307 million in 1Q09. The decrease compared with both periods reflects lower trading revenue primarily due to the lower valuation of credit derivatives used to hedge the loan portfolio. The year-over-year comparison also reflects lower foreign exchange revenue driven by lower volumes, partially offset by higher volatility, while sequentially, foreign exchange fees increased driven by higher volumes.

 

Investment income increased $61 million sequentially, primarily related to the write-down of certain equity investments in the first quarter of 2009.

 

Securities write-downs totaled $256 million in 2Q09 compared with write-downs of $152 million in 2Q08 and $295 million in 1Q09. Write-downs in 2Q09 primarily reflect continued deterioration in the credit quality of residential mortgage-backed securities. See the investment portfolio discussion on page 9 for further details.

bps - basis points.

KEY POINTS

 

 

Net interest revenue and the related margin continued to be influenced by historically low interest rates, the return of the balance sheet to expected levels and our strategy to reinvest in high quality, longer duration assets.

 

 

Net interest revenue (FTE), excluding the SILO/LILO charges, decreased 8% year-over-year and 10% (unannualized) sequentially.

   

The decrease compared with 2Q08 reflects a narrower margin due to a decline in the value of interest free balances, offset in part by an increase in earning assets driven by client cash that sought a safe haven during the credit crisis.

   

The sequential decrease reflects a decline in average interest-earning assets resulting from a continued roll-off of deposits taken in during the credit crisis, coupled with a decrease in the value and volume of interest free funds.

 

 

The net interest margin was 1.80%, compared with 1.87% in 1Q09. The margin has stabilized as a result of our decision to reduce cash held at central banks and invest in securities issued by government-sponsored and guaranteed entities with a duration of approximately 2-4 years.

N/M — Not meaningful.

KEY POINTS

 

 

Expense levels continued to be impacted by cost reduction programs and merger-related synergies.

 

   

The 13% year-over-year decrease was driven by an 18% decline in total staff expense resulting from lower compensation, incentives and employee benefits, a 35% decrease in business development and an 8% decrease in professional, legal and other purchased services.

 

   

The sequential increase of 2% (unannualized) (excluding FDIC special assessment, amortization of intangible assets and M&I expenses) reflects lower staff expense, which was more than offset by higher sub-custodian and clearing expenses, software expenses and a reserve for the remediation of withholding tax documentation.

 

 

In 2Q09, we recorded a charge of $61 million related to a FDIC special emergency deposit assessment for all depository institutions. This special assessment reflects a charge of 5 basis points on total assets, minus Tier 1 capital at June 30, 2009 subject to a cap of 10 basis points of average assessable domestic deposits for the second quarter of 2009.

BALANCE SHEET

During the second quarter of 2009, the Company’s average balance sheet decreased to $209 billion from $220 billion in the first quarter. The decrease was largely driven by a $13 billion reduction in deposits reflecting the continued roll off of client cash that sought a safe haven during the credit crisis. The offsetting reduction in assets was primarily due to a reduction in cash held at central banks. During the quarter, the Company also further reduced cash held at central banks and invested in securities issued by government-sponsored and guaranteed entities.

INVESTMENT SECURITIES PORTFOLIO

At June 30, 2009, the fair value of our investment securities portfolio totaled $48.2 billion. The unrealized net of tax loss on our securities portfolio recorded in OCI was $4.4 billion at June 30, 2009 compared with $4.5 billion at March 31, 2009. The improvement in the net of tax loss on our securities portfolio reflects the tightening of spreads, partially offset by higher interest rates and the impact of FAS 157-4.

As a result of adopting FAS 157-4, the unrealized pre-tax loss decreased by approximately $1.2 billion in the first quarter of 2009, reflecting the price at which the securities would sell in a more orderly market. As the credit markets improved and became more orderly during the second quarter of 2009, the FAS 157-4 related unrealized pre-tax loss declined to approximately $400 million at June 30, 2009. Excluding the impact of FAS 157-4, the unrealized pre-tax loss on the securities portfolio would have decreased by approximately $1.0 billion (pre-tax) at June 30, 2009, and the fair value of the portfolio would have been $400 million (pre-tax) less than the current fair value.

(b) The “Watch list” includes those securities we view as having a higher risk of additional impairment charges.

In the second quarter of 2009, housing market indicators and the broader economy continued to deteriorate. To reflect the continued declining value of homes, we adjusted our non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities (“RMBS”) loss severity assumptions to decrease the amount we expect to receive to cover the value of the original loan. In the second quarter of 2009, we reclassified the European Floating Rate Notes to the Watch List category. These securities are very highly rated (100% are included in the AAA/AA category) and well seasoned, but given the deterioration in the European housing market and the impairment of a small number of these securities, we determined a reclassification to the Watch List category was appropriate.

(a) The allowance for credit losses at June 30, 2009 excludes discontinued operations. The allowance for credit losses at March 31, 2009 and June 30, 2008 includes discontinued operations of $40 million and $28 million, respectively. The provision for credit losses at March 31, 2009 and June 30, 2008 includes discontinued operations of $21 million and $12 million, respectively.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

On June 30, 2009, we adopted discontinued operations accounting for Mellon United National Bank located in Florida. It was determined that this business no longer fits our strategic focus on our asset management and securities servicing businesses. This business was formerly included in the Other segment. In the second quarter of 2009, we recorded an after-tax loss on discontinued operations of $91 million primarily related to the write-down of goodwill and an increase in the provision for credit losses. The after-tax loss of $41 million in the first quarter of 2009 primarily resulted from a goodwill impairment charge.

The income statements for all periods in this Earnings Review have been restated. The restatement resulted in a reduction to previously reported levels of net interest revenue and the net interest margin; a slight reduction in treasury services and other fee revenue; a reduction in the provision for credit losses; a reduction in noninterest expense; and a change in continuing earnings per share.

Excluding investment write-downs year-over-year and linked quarter growth rates were a negative 28% and a positive 10% (unannualized), respectively.
(b) The pre-tax operating margin, excluding intangible amortization, support agreement charges and investment write-downs was 35% for 2Q08, 30% for 3Q08, 27% for 4Q08, 22% for 1Q09 and 28% for 2Q09.

N/M - Not meaningful.

KEY POINTS

 

 

Asset and wealth management fees increased sequentially reflecting an increase in global market values and higher performance fees, partially offset by lower fees related to money market and alternative asset classes. The year-over-year decrease reflects weakness in global market values as well as lower fees related to money market and alternative asset classes.

 

Long-term outflows of $18 billion in 2Q09 primarily reflect a $14 billion outflow related to the termination of a unique and very low fee relationship (less than 1 basis point annually), as well as outflows of alternative assets, partially offset by net positive retail flows. Money market outflows totaled $2 billion, consistent with industry trends.

 

Other fee revenue increased $37 million from the first quarter of 2009 driven primarily by improved seed capital values.

 

Ongoing expense management in response to the operating environment resulted in a 21% year-over-year decline in noninterest expense (ex. intangible amortization and support agreement charges), reflecting staff reductions and lower incentive expense. Noninterest expense (ex. intangible amortization and support agreement charges) increased only 2% (unannualized) sequentially resulting in 700 basis points of positive operating leverage. The sequential increase reflects higher incentive expense driven by higher performance fees.

(a) The pre-tax operating margin for 3Q08, excluding support agreement charges and intangible amortization, was 34%.

N/M - Not meaningful.

KEY POINTS

 

 

Wealth Management results continue to reflect the benefit of business wins and market share gains, especially in the family office platform and northeast wealth markets, as evidenced by $11 billion in net inflows of client assets over the last twelve months ($2 billion in 2Q09) and 14 consecutive quarters of positive net client flows.

 

Total fee and other revenue decreased 13% compared with 2Q08 and 1% (unannualized) sequentially. Year-over-year, lower equity markets and lower capital market fees more than offset organic growth. Asset and wealth management fees were up 5% on a linked quarter basis, driven by organic growth and higher equity markets. Period end client assets were $142 billion, up $10 billion or 8% (unannualized) sequentially.

 

Net interest revenue increased 2% year-over-year and decreased 2% (unannualized) sequentially. Year-over-year, increased loan levels and loan spreads offset lower deposit levels. On a linked quarter basis, strong balance sheet trends were offset by declines in deposit levels and lower interest rates.

 

Noninterest expense (excluding intangible amortization and support agreement charges) decreased 5% compared with 2Q08 and increased 5% (unannualized) sequentially. The year-over-year decrease reflects continued strong expense control and the impact of merger-related synergies. On a linked quarter basis, savings due to workforce reductions were offset by increased FDIC expense and the timing of business development expenses.

 

Wealth Management has a presence in 15 of the top 25 domestic wealth markets.

N/M – Not meaningful.

KEY POINTS

 

 

Asset Servicing reflects continued strong new business ($1.7 trillion AUC over the last 12 months), expense control efforts and the return of securities lending and foreign exchange revenue to expected levels.

 

Asset servicing fees year-over-year and sequentially reflect the benefit of new business over the past year, offset by challenging market conditions for volume and spread related businesses.

   

Securities lending fees decreased $105 million compared with 2Q08 and increased $7 million sequentially. The year-over-year results reflect lower market valuations while the sequential increase reflects the benefit of seasonality.

 

Foreign exchange and other trading decreased 8% year-over-year and increased 4% (unannualized) compared to 1Q09. The year-over-year results primarily reflect higher volatility partially offset by lower volume, while the sequential increase primarily reflects higher volume.

 

Net interest revenue decreased 1% compared to the prior year and decreased 15% (unannualized) sequentially. The decrease year-over-year reflects lower spreads, partially offset by higher average deposit levels. The sequential decrease reflects the decline in average deposit levels and lower spreads.

 

Continued expense control as well as the impact of merger-related synergies resulted in noninterest expense (excluding intangible amortization and support agreement charges) declining 13% year-over-year. Noninterest expense (excluding intangible amortization and support agreement charges) increased 2% (unannualized) sequentially as a result of higher sub-custodian out-of-pocket expenses, partially offset by lower staff expense.

 

2Q09 new business wins totaled $259 billion (win rate of 71%).

KEY POINTS

 

 

Issuer Services results continued to benefit from new business wins in Corporate Trust and Depositary Receipts and expense control, offset by lower rates and lower activity levels.

 

 

Total revenue decreased 9% compared to 2Q08 and 1% (unannualized) sequentially driven by:

 

   

Corporate Trust – Total revenue decreased both year-over-year and sequentially. Both decreases reflect the lower level of fixed income issuances globally and lower money market fees, partially offset by the impact of new business related to government stabilization programs. Net interest revenue increased year-over-year reflecting higher customer deposit balances and decreased sequentially reflecting tighter spreads.

   

Depositary Receipts – Total revenue decreased year-over-year and sequentially. Both periods were impacted by lower transaction fees, partially offset by the benefit of new business. The sequential decline was also impacted by a lower level of corporate actions.

   

Shareowner Services – Revenue decreased year-over-year due to lower overall corporate action activity and the impact of lower equity values on employee stock option plan fees. Revenue was unchanged sequentially as higher seasonal shareholder services revenue and higher employee stock option plan fees were offset by lower overall corporate action activity.

 

 

Strong expense control resulted in a 13% decrease in noninterest expense (excluding intangible amortization) year-over-year resulting in 400 basis points of positive operating leverage. The decrease compared with 2Q08 was driven by a 13% decline in total staff expense. The 2% (unannualized) sequential increase in noninterest expense (excluding intangible amortization) was due to increased FDIC expense and higher sub-custodian expenses.

KEY POINTS

 

 

Clearing Services results reflect the benefit of strong expense control which helped mitigate lower market volatility and low interest rates.

 

 

Total fee and other revenue decreased 3% compared with 2Q08 as higher trading revenues and trading volumes were more than offset by lower money market related fees and lower asset valuations. Compared with 1Q09, fee and other revenue decreased 2% (unannualized) primarily due to lower money market related fees and trading revenues.

 

 

Strong expense control resulted in year-over-year declines in noninterest expense (excluding intangible amortization). Compared to 2Q08, noninterest expense declined 12%, primarily reflecting lower compensation expense, partially offset by higher volume-related clearing expenses. Noninterest expense (excluding intangible amortization) increased 2% (unannualized) sequentially, primarily reflecting higher volume-related clearing expenses.

KEY POINTS

 

 

Treasury Services results, both year-over-year and sequentially, primarily reflect growth in treasury services fees and well-controlled expenses, which were more than offset by lower trading revenue.

 

 

Total fee and other revenue decreased 24% compared to 2Q08 and 18% (unannualized) sequentially, as higher treasury services revenue resulting from higher global payment fees was more than offset by a lower valuation of credit derivatives used to hedge the loan portfolio and lower capital markets related fees.

 

 

Noninterest expense (excluding intangible amortization) decreased 2% compared with 2Q08 and increased 2% (unannualized) sequentially. The year-over-year decrease reflects the impact of merger-related synergies and overall expense control, partially offset by higher FDIC expense. The increase sequentially was primarily driven by higher FDIC expense.

KEY POINTS

 

 

Fee and other revenue decreased $112 million compared to 2Q08 and increased $54 million compared to 1Q09 with the variances over both periods primarily due to the level of investment write-downs.

 

 

Net interest revenue increased $292 million compared to 2Q08 reflecting the SILO charge ($377 million) recorded in 2Q08.

 

 

Noninterest expense (excluding FDIC special assessment, intangible amortization and M&I expenses) decreased $6 million compared to 2Q08 and increased $12 million sequentially. The year-over-year decrease reflects lower incentive expenses, while the sequential increase primarily reflects higher software expense.

These statements, which may be expressed in a variety of ways, including the use of future or present tense language, relate to, among other things, expectations with respect to service quality, the Company’s proposed repurchase of the warrant issued to the U.S. Treasury, securities investment decisions, our strategic focus with regard to Mellon United National Bank; as well as the Company’s overall plans, strategies, goals, objectives, expectations, estimates and intentions. These statements are based upon current beliefs and expectations and are subject to significant risks and uncertainties (some of which are beyond the Company’s control). Actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied as a result of these risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, the risk factors and other uncertainties set forth in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended Dec. 31, 2008 and the Company’s other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. All forward-looking statements in this earnings review speak only as of July 22, 2009 and the Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after that date or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
