We are innovating and pushing forward on our multi-year growth investments all while remaining disciplined to deliver positive operating leverage and pre-tax margin expansion,” Mr. Vince further noted.

“I am proud and appreciative of our employees’ dedication through all of the work required to unlock BNY Mellon’s potential.

KEY DRIVERS (comparisons are 3Q23 vs. 3Q22, unless otherwise stated)

•Total revenue increased 2%, primarily reflecting:

•Fee revenue was flat, primarily reflecting higher market values, net new business and the favorable impact of a weaker U.S. dollar, partially offset by the impact of the Alcentra divestiture, the mix of cumulative AUM flows and lower foreign exchange volatility and volumes.

•Net interest revenue increased 10%, primarily reflecting higher interest rates, partially offset by changes in balance sheet size and mix.

•Provision for credit losses was $3 million, compared with a benefit of $30 million.

•Noninterest expense decreased 16%, primarily related to the 3Q22 goodwill impairment associated with the Investment Management reporting unit. Excluding notable items (c), noninterest expense increased 3% primarily reflecting higher investments and revenue-related expenses, and the unfavorable impact of a weaker U.S. dollar, 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 18.8%.

Assets under custody and/or administration (“AUC/A”) and Assets under management (“AUM”)

•AUC/A increased 8%, primarily reflecting higher market values, client inflows, the favorable impact of a weaker U.S. dollar and net new business.

•AUM increased 3%, primarily reflecting the favorable impact of a weaker U.S. dollar and higher market values, partially offset by the divestiture of Alcentra.

Capital and liquidity

•$333 million of dividends to common shareholders (d).

•$450 million of common share repurchases.

•Return on common equity (“ROE”) – 11%; Return on tangible common equity (“ROTCE”) – 20% (c).

•Common Equity Tier 1 (“CET1”) ratio – 11.4%.

BNY Mellon 3Q23 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 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.

See “Explanation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Financial Measures” in the Financial Supplement available at www.bnymellon.com for additional reconciliations of Non-GAAP measures.

BNY Mellon has also included revenue measures excluding notable items, including disposal gains. Expense measures, excluding notable items, including goodwill impairment, severance expense and litigation reserves, are also presented. Litigation reserves represent accruals for loss contingencies that are both probable and reasonably estimable, but exclude standard business-related legal fees. Net income applicable to common shareholders of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation and diluted earnings per share, excluding the notable items mentioned above, are also provided. These measures are provided to permit investors to view the financial measures on a basis consistent with how management views the businesses.
