FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

MELLON’S FIRST-QUARTER PERFORMANCE SIGNIFICANTLY AHEAD OF
     CORRESPONDING FOURTH- AND FIRST-QUARTER 2001 RESULTS
— Compared to fourth quarter of 2001, contribution to EPS from core sectors up 10%,
EPS from continuing operations up 12% —

PITTSBURGH, April 16, 2002—Mellon Financial Corporation (NYSE: MEL) today announced that its core business sectors’ contribution to earnings per share, which excludes non-core sector activity from both periods, increased 10 percent (unannualized) in the first quarter of 2002 over the fourth quarter of 2001. First quarter 2002 diluted earnings per share from continuing operations totaled 47 cents, an increase of 12 percent (unannualized) compared with 42 cents, on an operating basis, in the fourth quarter of 2001. Earnings per share from continuing operations in the first quarter of 2001 totaled 44 cents. For comparison purposes, results for 2001 exclude the amortization of goodwill. The favorable results for the first quarter of 2002 reflect the first full quarter of activity following the series of repositioning actions taken in 2001 to sharpen the Corporation’s strategic focus as a high-growth, fee-based provider of financial services for institutions, corporations and affluent individuals.

“The revenue, earnings and return results achieved by our continuing operations during the first quarter were significantly ahead of our performance during the fourth quarter of 2001 and the same period a year ago,” said Martin G. McGuinn, Mellon chairman and chief executive officer. “Our focus on execution and delivering sustainable results is validating Mellon’s strategic repositioning as a global provider of asset management and corporate and institutional services. Continued concern over the economy and equity markets notwithstanding, I am very pleased with the momentum of the new Mellon.”

The Corporation also declared a quarterly common stock dividend of 12 cents per share. This cash dividend is payable on Wednesday, May 15, 2002, to shareholders of record at the close of business on Tuesday, April 30, 2002.

As a result of several previously completed significant divestitures discussed further on page 18, the Corporation is reporting its financial results using the discontinued operations method of accounting. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, earnings and assets and liabilities of the discontinued businesses are shown separately in the income statement and balance sheet, respectively, for all periods presented. Accordingly, all information in this earnings release, including all supplemental information, reflects continuing operations, unless otherwise noted.

First Quarter 2002 Financial Data - Continuing Operations:

As discussed on page 4, amortization of goodwill was discontinued in January 2002. For comparability purposes, income statement and related ratio comparisons exclude goodwill amortization in 2001.

l   In January 2002, the Corporation acquired Unifi Network, a subsidiary of PricewaterhouseCoopers. Unifi significantly increases the capabilities of the Corporation’s human resources outsourcing and consulting business.
     
l   The contribution of the Corporation’s core business sectors to earnings per share increased 10 percent over the fourth quarter of 2001 (unannualized), and 13 percent over the first quarter of 2001.
     
l   Return on equity totaled 24.8 percent compared with 20.4 percent in the fourth quarter of 2001 on an operating basis, and 21.9 percent in the first quarter of 2001.
     
l   Fee revenue totaled 86 percent of fee and net interest revenue, compared with 85 percent in both the fourth quarter and first quarter of 2001. Trust and investment fee revenue totaled 70 percent of fee and net interest revenue, compared with 67 percent in both the fourth quarter and first quarter of 2001.
     
l   Excluding the impact of acquisitions, the fourth quarter 2001 nonrecurring items and the effect of performance fees, fee revenue increased 2 percent (unannualized) compared to the fourth quarter of 2001 and 4 percent compared to the prior-year period. Excluding the impact of acquisitions and the effect of performance fees, trust and investment fee revenue increased 2 percent (unannualized) compared to the fourth quarter of 2001 and 3 percent compared to the first quarter of 2001, from net business growth.

l   Assets under management totaled $610 billion compared with $592 billion at Dec. 31, 2001 and $520 billion at March 31, 2001, with assets under management, administration or custody totaling more than $2.8 trillion at March 31, 2002.

l   Excluding the impact of acquisitions, the 2001 amortization of goodwill, and the fourth quarter 2001 nonrecurring charges, operating expense decreased 1 percent (unannualized) in the first quarter of 2002 compared with the fourth quarter of 2001 and increased 7 percent compared with the first quarter of 2001, reflecting higher expenses in support of business growth.
     
l   Nonperforming assets totaled $75 million, or .79 percent of total loans and net acquired property at March 31, 2002, compared with $62 million, or .72 percent at Dec. 31, 2001, and $192 million, or 1.84 percent at March 31, 2001.

Impact of New Accounting Standards

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (FAS) No. 141, “Business Combinations,” and FAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” These standards, among other things, eliminated the pooling of interests method of accounting and require that goodwill no longer be amortized, but goodwill is subject to impairment testing. The effective date for FAS No. 141 was July 1, 2001, and the effective date for FAS No. 142 was Jan. 1, 2002. For acquisitions completed prior to July 1, 2001, existing goodwill was amortized through the end of 2001, after which amortization has ceased. For acquisitions initiated after June 30, 2001, goodwill is not being amortized. Pro forma results excluding the impact of goodwill amortization in 2001 are shown below.

Core Business Sectors

The Corporation’s business sectors reflect its management structure, the characteristics of its products and services, and the customers to which those products and services are delivered. Lines of business that offer similar or related products and services to common or similar customer decision makers have been combined into the core business sectors.

As a result of repositioning actions taken to sharpen its strategic focus and the January 2002 acquisition of Unifi Network, the Corporation redefined its core business sectors into two overall reportable groups in the first quarter of 2002 -- Asset Management and Corporate and Institutional Services. The Asset Management group is comprised of the Institutional Asset Management, Mutual Funds and Private Wealth Management sectors. The Corporate and Institutional Services group is comprised of the Asset Servicing, Human Resources Services and Treasury Services sectors.

Asset Management

The Corporation’s Asset Management Group consists of those lines of business which offer investment management and wealth management services to corporations, institutions and affluent individuals aggregated into three business sectors -- institutional asset management, mutual funds and private wealth management. Institutional asset management and mutual funds represent a further division of the Corporation’s former global investment management sector, while private wealth management remains unchanged. Institutional Asset Management consists of Mellon Institutional Asset Management, which consists of 11 individual asset management companies or joint ventures offering a broad range of equity, fixed income and liquidity management products, and Mellon Global Investments, which distributes investment management products internationally.

(a)   Excludes the impact of acquisitions.

Results for the Asset Management Group compared with the fourth quarter of 2001 reflect strong growth in Private Wealth Management revenue offset by a decline in Institutional Asset Management revenue, principally due to a seasonal decline in performance fees, and a slight decline in Mutual Funds revenue. Expenses were well controlled, however, declining 3%, resulting in an increase in income before taxes of 3% (unannualized) compared with the fourth quarter of 2001. The impact of equity and fixed income market levels was relatively minor as represented by the S&P 500 Index, which was unchanged compared with Dec. 31, 2001, and by the Lehman Brothers Long-Term Government Bond Index, which was down 1.6% compared with Dec. 31, 2001.

Mellon Reports Earnings

Page 8

Results for the Asset Management Group compared with the first quarter of 2001 were impacted by the July 2001 acquisition of Standish Mellon Asset Management, which is included in the Institutional Asset Management sector. Excluding the impact of Standish, revenue and expenses increased 6% and 12%, respectively, for Institutional Asset Management and 11% and 11%, respectively, for the Asset Management Group overall. Revenue for the Mutual Fund sector increased 10% due to higher long term asset levels and significantly higher institutional money market assets as shown in the table on page 12. Good expense management in the Mutual Funds sector limited expense growth to 7% resulting in an increase in income before taxes of a strong 15%. The Private Wealth Management sector continued to show strong growth in revenue year over year of 16% and comparable expense growth, resulting in year over year growth in income before taxes of 14%. Again, the impact of the equity and fixed income markets was relatively minor as measured by the S&P 500 Index, which compared with March 31, 2001, was down 1.1% and the Lehman Brother’s Long-Term Government Bond Index, which was up 1.3% compared with March 31, 2001.

Corporate and Institutional Services

The Corporation’s Corporate and Institutional Services Group consists of those lines of business which offer trust and custody and related services as well as investment manager services, human resources consulting and outsourcing services and treasury related services to large corporations, institutions and government and other not-for-profit entities. Those lines of business have been aggregated into three business sectors -- Asset Servicing, Human Resources Services and Treasury Services. Asset Servicing and Human Resources Services represent a further division of the Corporation’s former Global Investment Services sector as a result of the Corporation’s January 2002 acquisition of Unifi Network from PricewaterhouseCoopers, which significantly enhanced the scope and scale of the services offered in the Human Resources Services area. Treasury Services represents a combination of the Corporation’s former Global Cash Management and Relationship Lending sectors, reflecting the significant repositioning of the Corporation’s corporate lending activities in the fourth quarter of 2001.

l   Asset Servicing - includes institutional trust and custody, foreign exchange, securities lending, back office outsourcing for investment managers, and substantially all of the Corporation’s joint ventures.
     
l   Human Resources Services - includes benefits consulting and administrative services for employee benefit plans, and shareholder and securities transfer services.
     
l   Treasury Services - includes global cash management, large corporate relationship banking, insurance premium financing, commercial real estate lending, corporate finance and derivative products, securities underwriting and trading, and international banking.

(a)   Excludes the impact of acquisitions.

 

Results for the Corporate and Institutional Services group for the first quarter of 2002 compared with the fourth quarter of 2001 were impacted by the January 2002 acquisition of Unifi Network in the Human Resources Services sector. Excluding the impact of that acquisition, revenue increased 2% and expenses decreased 2% for the Human Resources Services sector and increased 1% and decreased 1%, respectively, for Corporate and Institutional Services overall. Income before taxes increased a strong 12% overall (unannualized). Revenue in the Asset Servicing sector declined 5%, however, as growth in trust and custody fees was impacted by lower securities lending and foreign exchange revenue, so that despite modest expense growth, income before taxes declined 19%. Treasury Services showed strong revenue growth of 6% (unannualized) primarily due to growth in cash management fees and insurance premium financing revenue, which together with good expense management, resulted in growth in income before taxes of 18%.

Results for the first quarter of 2002 compared with the first quarter of 2001 were impacted by the Unifi acquisition in the Human Resources Services sector, as noted above, and to a lesser degree by the November 2001 acquisition of Eagle Investment Systems in the Asset Servicing Sector. Excluding the impact of these acquisitions revenue and expenses grew 3% and 6%, respectively, for the Corporate and Institutional Services sector overall, (6)% and 5%, respectively, for Asset Servicing and 2% and 5%, respectively, for Human Resources Services. Income before taxes for Corporate and Institutional Services overall, however, was down 1% as strong growth in income before taxes for Human Resources Services and Treasury Services of 23% and 22%, respectively, was offset by a decline in income before taxes in Asset Servicing, primarily due to lower foreign exchange and securities lending revenue.

(a) In January 2002, the Corporation began to record customer expense reimbursements as revenue in accordance with a FASB staff announcement. The Corporation had historically reported expense reimbursements as a reduction of expenses. Prior period amounts have been reclassified.
(b) Amounts do not necessarily agree with those presented in Business Sectors on page 6, which include net interest revenue (expense) and revenue transferred between sectors under revenue transfer agreements. Additionally, sector amounts are reported on a fully taxable equivalent basis.
(c) Ratios exclude the pre-tax impact of the nonrecurring items discussed on page 18.

Note: For analytical purposes, the term “fee revenue,” as utilized throughout this earnings release, is defined as total noninterest revenue less gains on the sales of securities.

Fee revenue

Fee revenue of $943 million in the first quarter of 2002, when compared with the first quarter of 2001, was impacted by acquisitions, primarily the July 2001 acquisition of Standish Mellon Asset Management, the November 2001 acquisition of Eagle Investment Systems and the January 2002 acquisition of Unifi Network. Excluding acquisitions, fee revenue increased 4% in the first quarter of 2002, compared with the first quarter of 2001, reflecting higher trust and investment revenue and higher cash management revenue, partially offset by lower securities lending and foreign exchange revenue. Excluding the effect of acquisitions, trust and investment fee revenue increased 3% in the first quarter of 2002 compared with the first quarter of 2001, reflecting the impact of business growth offset in part by relatively flat equity markets. The equity markets at March 31, 2002, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, decreased 1.1% compared with March 31, 2001, while a key bond market benchmark, the Lehman Brothers Long-Term Government Bond Index, increased 1.3% compared to March 31, 2001.

Excluding the effect of acquisitions; lower performance fees, which are primarily recorded in the fourth quarter each year; the fourth quarter 2001 $222 million fair value adjustment of venture capital investments; and the fourth quarter 2001 $57 million loss on disposition of large corporate loans and commitments, fee revenue increased 2% (unannualized) compared with the fourth quarter of 2001, as higher trust and investment fee revenue and cash management revenue were partially offset by lower foreign currency and securities trading revenue.

Investment management fee revenue, when compared to the first quarter of 2001, was impacted by the Standish Mellon acquisition and, when compared to the fourth quarter of 2001, by the seasonal nature of performance fees. Revenue from Standish Mellon, as well as the performance fees, is primarily included in institutional investment management fee revenue in the table above. Excluding the impact of these items, investment management fee revenue increased 7% in the first quarter of 2002 compared with the first quarter of 2001. This increase primarily resulted from increased revenue relating to money market and fixed-income mutual funds.

Excluding the effect of performance fees, which are primarily recorded in the fourth quarter of each year, investment management fee revenue increased 2% (unannualized) compared with the fourth quarter of 2001,

resulting from higher private client revenue. Performance fees totaled $17 million in the first quarter of 2002, compared with $27 million and $12 million in the fourth and first quarters of 2001, respectively.

Mutual fund management fees are based upon the daily average net assets of each fund. The average net assets of proprietary mutual funds managed in the first quarter of 2002 were $195 billion, up $15 billion, or 8% from $180 billion in the fourth quarter of 2001, and up $45 billion, or 30%, from $150 billion in the first quarter of 2001. These increases primarily resulted from increases in average net assets of institutional taxable money market funds. Proprietary equity funds averaged $47 billion in the first quarter of 2002, an increase of $1 billion, or 3%, compared with $46 billion in the fourth quarter of 2001, and a decrease of $4 billion, or 9%, compared with $51 billion in the first quarter of 2001.

At March 31, 2002, the market values of assets managed by the Corporation totaled $610 billion and were comprised as follows: 36% equities; 21% fixed income; 28% money market; 8% overlay and global fixed-income products; and 7% securities lending cash collateral.

As shown in the table on the previous page, the market value of assets under management was $610 billion at March 31, 2002, an $18 billion, or 3% (unannualized), increase from $592 billion at Dec. 31, 2001. As shown in the table below, the increase was primarily due to organic growth.

Human Resources Services fee revenue

Excluding the effect of acquisitions, Human Resources Services fee revenue increased 3% (unannualized), compared with the fourth quarter of 2001 and increased 1% compared with the first quarter of 2001. The increase compared with the fourth quarter of 2001 resulted from higher benefits consulting revenue.

Institutional trust and custody fee revenue

Institutional trust and custody fee revenue, excluding the effect of acquisitions and securities lending revenue, increased 3% (unannualized) compared to the fourth quarter of 2001 reflecting the impact of business growth, and decreased 4% compared to the first quarter of 2001. Securities lending revenue totaled $19 million in the first quarter of 2002, compared with $24 million and $23 million in the fourth and first quarters of 2001, respectively.

Other fee revenue categories

Cash management fee revenue increased $15 million, or 28%, in the first quarter of 2002, compared with the first quarter of 2001 and $5 million, or 8% (unannualized), compared with the fourth quarter of 2001. These increases primarily resulted from higher volumes of electronic services. Cash management revenue does not include revenue from customers holding compensating balances on deposits in lieu of paying cash fees. The earnings on the compensating balances are recognized in net interest revenue.

Foreign currency and securities trading revenue decreased $16 million, or 29%, in the first quarter of 2002, compared with the first quarter of 2001 and $14 million, or 27% (unannualized), compared with the fourth quarter of 2001. These decreases were primarily due to lower foreign exchange revenue relating to lower client volumes driven, in part, by diminished cross border asset flows and generally lower levels of market volatility.

Financing-related and equity investment revenue totaled $55 million in the first quarter of 2002, compared with $46 million in the first quarter of 2001 and $36 million in the fourth quarter of 2001 excluding the fair value adjustment of venture capital investments and the loss on disposition of large corporate loans and commitments. Financing-related revenue, which primarily includes loan commitment fees; letters of credit

Page 14

and acceptance fees; gains or losses on loan sales; and gains or losses on lease residuals, decreased $6 million and $3 million, respectively, in the first quarter of 2002 compared with the first and fourth quarters of 2001, excluding the fourth quarter 2001 loss on disposition of large corporate loans and commitments. These decreases resulted primarily from lower loan commitment, letter of credit and loan syndication fees. Equity investment revenue, which includes realized and unrealized gains and losses on venture capital and non-venture capital investments, increased $15 million and $22 million, respectively, in the first quarter of 2002, compared with the first and fourth quarters of 2001, excluding the venture capital fair value adjustments. The increases were due to higher equity security gains. Revenue from venture capital investments totaled $5 million in the first quarter of 2002, an increase of $2 million compared to the first quarter of 2001 and a decrease of $7 million compared to the fourth quarter of 2001.

Operating expense for the first quarter 2002 was impacted by acquisitions, primarily the July 2001 acquisition of Standish Mellon Asset Management, the November 2001 acquisition of Eagle Investment Systems and the January 2002 acquisition of Unifi Network, and the adoption of FAS No. 142 which requires that goodwill no longer be amortized. Excluding the effect of acquisitions and the first quarter 2001 amortization of goodwill, operating expense increased 7% in the first quarter of 2002 compared with the first quarter of 2001. The increase reflected, in large part, expenses incurred in support of business growth.

Income Taxes

The Corporation’s effective tax rate on income from continuing operations for the first quarter of 2002 was 34.5% compared with 32.6% for the fourth quarter of 2001 and 34.1% for the first quarter of 2001, excluding the impact of the amortization of non-tax deductible goodwill and excluding the effect of the nonrecurring charges in the fourth quarter of 2001. It is currently anticipated that the effective tax rate will remain at approximately 34.5% for the remainder of 2002.

loans to a major consumer goods retailer placed on nonperforming status during the first quarter of 2002 following the filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. Of the $75 million balance of total nonperforming assets at March 31, 2002, $15 million of outstandings were to the consumer goods retailer and $39 million were to a California-based electric and natural gas utility company that voluntarily filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in the second quarter of 2001 as the result of its inability, due to rules in that state governing the industry’s deregulation, to increase rates to levels needed to cover higher costs for power. The decrease compared with March 31, 2001, resulted in large part from the disposition of nonperforming loans, including $68 million in the fourth quarter of 2001, and credit losses offset in part by the addition of new credits to nonperforming status.

(d)   Estimated.
The Corporation’s equity to assets capital ratios at March 31, 2002, compared with the prior periods reflect the positive effect of a smaller balance sheet, offset in part by the effect of common stock repurchases. The improvement in the leverage capital ratio was primarily due to lower average total assets as a result of the completed dispositions. The risk-based capital ratios include discontinued operations.

During the first quarter of 2002, 7.1 million shares of common stock were repurchased at a purchase price of $264 million for an average share price of $37.10 per share. Common shares outstanding at March 31, 2002, were 15.8% lower than at Dec. 31, 1998, reflecting an 82.8 million share reduction, net of shares reissued, primarily for employee benefit plan purposes. This reduction was due to stock repurchases totaling

approximately $4.1 billion, at an average share price of $37.30 per share. At March 31, 2002, an additional 15.3 million common shares were available for repurchase under a 25 million share repurchase program authorized by the board of directors in November 2001.

Discontinued Operations

Reflected as discontinued operations throughout the Corporation’s financial statements are the results of regional consumer banking, small business banking, and certain middle market banking operations, which were sold to Citizens Financial Group, Inc. (Citizens) in December 2001; the Mellon Leasing Corporation businesses that served mid-to-large corporations and vendors of small ticket equipment, and Mellon Business Credit, which were sold in June 2001; Dreyfus Brokerage Services, which was sold in January 2002; and the disposition in December 2001 of loans and commitments to middle market companies not sold to Citizens, as well as jumbo and other consumer mortgages. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), earnings and assets and liabilities of these businesses are shown separately in the income statement and balance sheet, respectively, for all periods presented. Accordingly, all information in this earnings release, including all supplemental information, reflects continuing operations unless otherwise noted.

Gain on Disposals of Discontinued Operations

In the first quarter of 2002, the Corporation recorded an additional $3 million after-tax net gain on the Citizens’ transaction. The additional gain primarily resulted from subsequent price adjustments, partially offset by additional expenses of sale. In the fourth quarter of 2001, the Corporation recorded an after-tax gain of $1.030 billion for the Citizen’s transaction. The Corporation also recorded a $159 million after-tax loss in the fourth quarter of 2001 related to the sale of Dreyfus Brokerage Services, the disposal of loans and commitments made to middle market customers that were not sold to Citizens, and the sale and securitization of nearly all of its jumbo mortgages.
