NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


 

Note 1—Basis of presentation

 

The unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Corporation are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Corporation’s 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations for the periods have been included.

 

Note 2—Adoption of new accounting standards

 

Stock option expense—second quarter 2003

 

At June 30, 2003, the Corporation has several stock-based employee compensation plans, which are described in Note 24 in the Corporation’s 2002 Financial Annual Report. Prior to 2003, the Corporation accounted for those plans under the recognition and measurement provisions of APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related Interpretations. No stock-based employee compensation cost for stock options is reflected in 2002 net income, as all options granted under those plans had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. Effective Jan. 1, 2003, the Corporation adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” prospectively for all employee awards granted, modified, or settled after Jan. 1, 2003. During the second quarter of 2003, options totaling 666,332 shares were granted with a weighted-average fair value of $6.18 per share. Stock option expense recorded in the second quarter of 2003 was determined by using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and totaled less than $1 million after-tax.

 

Pro forma cost of stock options

 

As required to be disclosed by SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure, an amendment of SFAS No. 123,” the following table illustrates the pro forma effect on income and earnings per share if the fair value based method had been applied to all unvested awards in each period. Awards under the Corporation’s plans generally vest over periods of three or more years. Therefore, the cost related to stock-based employee compensation included in the determination of net income for 2003 is less than that which would have been recognized if the fair value based method had been applied to all unvested awards granted in prior periods.

(a)   Income as reported, before the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle recorded in the first quarter of 2003.
(b)   Reported and pro forma results include compensation expense for restricted stock awards, net of tax, of $4 million, $4 million and $4 million for the second quarter of 2003, first quarter of 2003, and second quarter of 2002, respectively, and $8 million and $8 million for the first six months of 2003 and the first six months of 2002, respectively. In addition, stock option expense totaled less than $1 million in both the second quarter of 2003 and first six months of 2003.

 

The Black-Scholes option pricing model requires the use of subjective assumptions which can materially affect fair value estimates. Therefore, this model does not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of the Corporation’s stock options or Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP) shares. The fair value of each stock option granted in 2003 and 2002 and ESPP share in 2002 was estimated on the date of the grant using the following weighted-average assumptions for 2003 and 2002, respectively: (1) expected dividend yields of 2.2% and 1.7%; (2) risk-free interest rates of 2.8% and 3.4%; (3) expected volatility of 30% and 33%; and (4) expected lives of options of 5.7 years and 5.7 years.

 

Cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle

 

On Jan. 1, 2003, the Corporation adopted SFAS No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations.” SFAS No. 143 requires an entity to record a liability for an obligation associated with the retirement of an asset and for certain lease transaction obligations at the time the liability is incurred by capitalizing the cost and depreciating it over the remaining useful life of that asset. The initial application of SFAS No. 143 was reported as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle in the income statement. The Corporation recognized a one-time after-tax charge of $7 million, or $.01 per share (pre-tax cost of $11 million), in the first quarter of 2003, for the establishment of a liability for obligations to restore leased facilities, principally outside the U.S., to their original condition at the end of the leases. The annual ongoing impact of this accounting standard, based on leases presently in effect, is an increase in occupancy expense of approximately $2 million pre-tax. The pro forma effect on prior periods of the adoption of this statement would not have been material to either the income statement or balance sheet.

 

Guarantees

 

In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45 (FIN No. 45), “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others.” This Interpretation requires that a guarantor recognize, at the inception of a guarantee, a liability for the fair value

 

11


Table of Contents

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)


 

Note 2—Adoption of new accounting standards (continued)

 

of the obligation undertaken in issuing the guarantee. The initial recognition and measurement provisions of this Interpretation are applicable on a prospective basis to guarantees issued or modified after Dec. 31, 2002. At June 30, 2003, the Corporation recorded a liability of $6 million related to letters of credit issued or modified in 2003. For details of guarantees, see “Other guarantees and indemnities” in the table on page 50, and the paragraphs under the subheading “Other guarantees and indemnities” on pages 50 and 51 as well as the TRFCO discussion on pages 51 and 52. The information in the table and those paragraphs are incorporated by reference into these Notes to Financial Statements.

 

Note 3—Contingent and deferred consideration related to acquisitions

 

The Corporation completed one acquisition during the second quarter of 2003 with total initial cash consideration of $5 million. During the first six months of 2003, two acquisitions were completed with total initial consideration of $7 million. The Corporation records contingent purchase payments when amounts are resolved and become issuable. At June 30, 2003, the Corporation is potentially obligated to pay contingent additional consideration of a minimum expected amount of approximately $25 million to a maximum expected amount of approximately $65 million for all acquisitions, over the next four years, depending on the performance of the acquired companies. None of the contingent additional consideration was recorded as goodwill at June 30, 2003. In addition, the Corporation is obligated to pay deferred consideration in four equal annual installments of $12.5 million beginning in the third quarter of 2003 for a total of $50 million, for the Standish Mellon acquisition. The $47 million net present value of this obligation was recorded as additional goodwill in the fourth quarter of 2002. The Corporation paid less than $1 million in both the second quarter and first six months of 2003 for contingent consideration related to acquisitions made in prior years.

 

Note 4—Discontinued operations

 

As a result of several disposition transactions discussed below, and consistent with the announced strategy, the Corporation exited all lines of business serving two defined major classes of customers—retail consumer and small business/middle market customers. The financial results of these businesses are reported as discontinued operations. Following the dispositions, the Corporation’s remaining lines of business serve two defined major classes of customers—high net worth individuals/families and large institutional customers.

 

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-sized corporations and vendors of small ticket equipment, and Mellon Business Credit, which were sold in June 2001; Dreyfus Brokerage Services which served retail consumers nationally, which was sold in January 2002; the Corporation’s jumbo mortgage business which served consumers nationally, which was sold in part to Citizens and the balance disposed of through portfolio sales and securitizations; and the disposition in December 2001 of loans and loan commitments to middle market companies not sold to Citizens.

 

Because the lines of business included in discontinued operations were discrete lines of business serving classes of customers no longer served by the Corporation’s continuing lines of business, the disposition of these businesses has no material impact on continuing operations going forward.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)


 

Note 4—Discontinued operations (continued)

 

In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), earnings, assets and liabilities of the discontinued businesses are shown separately in the income statement and balance sheet, respectively, for all periods presented, where applicable. All information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q reflects continuing operations, before the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle recorded in the first quarter of 2003, unless otherwise noted. During the third quarter of 2002, the Corporation completed the conversion of customer deposit accounts and loans to Citizens. The Corporation had been administering these accounts under a transitional service agreement until Citizens was able to convert these accounts to its systems. This was the final step of a transition process that began following the December 2001 sale. As of Sept. 30, 2002, there were no remaining assets or liabilities of discontinued operations.

 

After-tax gains of $2 million were recorded in the second quarter of 2003, $1 million in the first quarter of 2003, and $2 million in the second quarter of 2002, primarily resulting from favorable resolution of estimates made at the time of disposition.

Summary of financial results


 

Second quarter of 2003 compared with the first quarter of 2003 and the second quarter of 2002

 

Consolidated net income in the second quarter of 2003 totaled $175 million, or $.41 per share. Consolidated net income in the first quarter of 2003 totaled $161 million, or $.37 per share, and included a charge for the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle of $7 million after-tax, or $.01 per share. This charge is discussed further on page 11. Consolidated net income for the second quarter 2002 totaled $109 million, or $.25 per share. Results for the second quarter of 2002 included a provision for credit losses of $160 million pre-tax recorded in large part for credit exposure related to customers that had been associated with allegations of accounting irregularities.

 

Second quarter 2003 income from continuing operations totaled $173 million, or $.40 per share, compared with income from continuing operations, before the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle, of $167 million, or $.38 per share, in the first quarter of 2003. Income from continuing operations totaled $106 million, or $.24 per share, in the second quarter of 2002. Continuing operations returned 19.5% on equity in the second quarter of 2003 compared with return on equity of 19.8% on continuing operations before the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle in the first quarter of 2003, and 12.6% in the second quarter of 2002. The return in the second quarter of 2002 was negatively impacted by the $160 million provision for credit losses discussed above.

 

Year-to-date 2003 compared with year-to-date 2002

 

Consolidated net income totaled $336 million, or $.78 per share, in the first six months of 2003, and included the charge for the cumulative effect of the accounting change discussed above. This compared with consolidated net income of $325 million, or $.73 per share, in the first six months of 2002, which included the $160 million provision for credit losses discussed above. Income from continuing operations before the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle totaled $340 million, or $.78 per share, in the first six months of 2003, compared with $317 million, or $.71 per share, in the first six months of 2002.

Critical accounting policies


 

Note 1 of the Corporation’s 2002 Financial Annual Report includes a summary of the Corporation’s significant accounting policies. Certain of these policies are considered to be critical to the presentation of the Corporation’s financial condition, since they require management to make complex and subjective estimates and assumptions relating to amounts which are inherently uncertain. These policies, which have been discussed with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, include accounting policies related to establishing the reserve for credit exposure, valuing venture capital investments and accounting for pensions. For a discussion of the Corporation’s accounting policies relating to the reserve for credit exposure, see pages 54 and 55 of the 2002 Financial Annual Report. For a discussion of the Corporation’s accounting policies relating to valuing venture capital investments, see pages 33, 34 and 70 of the 2002 Financial Annual Report. For a discussion of the net periodic benefit credit for pensions and its sensitivity to changes in assumptions, see page 17 of the 2002 Financial Annual Report. For a discussion of the accounting policies relating to pensions, see pages 99 and 100 of the 2002 Financial Annual Report.

Note: For analytical purposes, the term “fee revenue,” as utilized throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, is defined as total noninterest revenue less gains on the sales of securities.

 

Fee revenue

 

Fee revenue of $853 million in the second quarter of 2003 increased $12 million, or 2% (unannualized), from the first quarter of 2003, due to a 5% (unannualized) increase in trust and investment fee revenue which more than offset a decrease in equity investment revenue and foreign exchange revenue. As discussed further under the applicable fee categories on the following pages, the 5% increase in trust and investment fee revenue was principally due to higher investment management fees and institutional trust and custody fees from improved equity market conditions, net new business, higher performance fees and higher revenue relating to out-of-pocket expense reimbursements from clients, as well as the translation impact of the weaker dollar on non-U.S. revenues. Out-of-pocket expense reimbursements are recorded as fee revenue in accordance with a previous Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) staff announcement, and totaled $31 million in the second quarter 2003 compared with $25 million in the first quarter 2003 and $33 million in the second quarter 2002. Client reimbursable out-of-pocket expenses are recorded as operating expenses, as discussed on page 33.

Noninterest revenue (continued)


 

Fee revenue decreased $70 million, or 8%, in the second quarter of 2003 from $923 million in the second quarter of 2002, primarily due to lower trust and investment fee revenue, as well as lower equity investment revenue and foreign exchange revenue. The decrease in trust and investment fee revenue was principally due to lower mutual fund management fees and lower human resources services fees as well as the Dec. 31, 2002, formation of the global custody joint venture ABN AMRO Mellon Global Securities Services B.V. A portion of the Corporation’s global custody operations are now part of the joint venture, which resulted in an $8 million reduction in fee revenue in the second quarter 2003 compared with the second quarter 2002.

 

Investment management fee revenue

 

Investment management fee revenue increased $16 million, or 5% (unannualized), in the second quarter of 2003 compared with the first quarter 2003, and decreased $21 million, or 6%, compared with the second quarter of 2002. The increase compared with the first quarter of 2003 primarily resulted from higher institutional asset management fees reflecting higher performance fees, the impact of improved equity markets and net new business. Of the $16 million increase in investment management fees from the first quarter of 2003, $8 million is from higher performance fees and the remaining increase is primarily the estimated impact of market appreciation on equity assets under management, net new business generated in the second quarter and the impact of one additional day in the quarter. Performance fees are earned by investment managers as the investment performance of their products exceeds various benchmarks. Performance fees totaled $8 million in the second quarter of 2003 compared with less than $1 million in the first quarter of 2003 and $4 million in the second quarter of 2002. Of the $21 million decrease in investment management fee revenue compared with the second quarter of 2002, $15 million primarily resulted from a lower average level of equity assets under management due to the estimated impact of market depreciation and the remaining decrease is primarily from lower average levels of equity and money market assets under management due to outflows.

 

The Corporation estimates that a sustained (one-year) 100-point change in the S&P 500 Index, when applied to the Corporation’s mix of assets under management, would result in a change of approximately $45 million to $60 million annually in investment management fees. For a given quarterly reporting period the actual impact may vary from what might be estimated using that sensitivity, since Institutional Asset Management records investment management revenue based on quarter-end asset levels, Mutual Funds based on daily levels and Private Wealth based on prior months levels. The actual impact will also vary with changes in asset mix, the timing of flows, the relationship of other benchmarks used versus the S&P 500 Index and other factors. The relevant changes in the S&P 500 Index for the second quarter of 2003 compared with prior quarters is as follows.

Mutual fund management fees are based upon the daily average net assets of each fund. As shown in the following table, fees from proprietary equity mutual funds, and bond and fixed-income funds each increased $4 million, while fees from proprietary money market funds decreased $5 million in the second quarter of 2003 compared with the first quarter of 2003. Fees from proprietary equity mutual funds decreased $14 million and fees from money market funds decreased $10 million compared with the second quarter of 2002.

The average net assets of proprietary mutual funds managed in the second quarter of 2003 were $175 billion, down $6 billion, or 3%, from $181 billion in the first quarter of 2003, and down $24 billion, or 12%, from $199 billion in the second quarter of 2002, primarily reflecting a lower average level of money market funds. Proprietary equity funds averaged $37 billion in the second quarter of 2003, an increase of $3 billion, or 6%, compared with $34 billion in the first quarter of 2003, and a decrease of $9 billion, or 20%, compared with $46 billion in the second quarter of 2002.

 

During the second quarter of 2003, first quarter of 2003, and second quarter of 2002, respectively, the Corporation generated, on an annualized basis: 60, 60 and 61 basis points, respectively, on average proprietary equity mutual funds; 24, 25 and 24 basis points, respectively, on average proprietary money market funds; and 57, 56 and 55 basis points, respectively, on average proprietary bond and fixed income funds. In the second quarter of 2003, total average proprietary managed mutual funds generated 37 basis points, on an annualized basis, compared with 36 basis points in the first quarter of 2003, and 37 basis points in the second quarter of 2002.

(a)   Represents securities lending assets. Revenue earned on these assets is reported in Securities lending revenue on the income statement.

 

Institutional trust and custody revenue

 

Institutional trust and custody fees are dependent on a number of factors including the level of assets administered and under custody, the volume of transactions in the accounts, and the types and frequency of ancillary services provided to the customers such as performance analytics. Institutional trust and custody revenue of $116 million increased $7 million, or 6% (unannualized), in the second quarter of 2003 compared to the first quarter of 2003, and decreased $9 million, or 7%, compared with the second quarter of 2002. The increase compared with the first quarter of 2003 was due to net new business and the impact of market appreciation on the level of assets under custody. The decrease compared with the second quarter 2002 was principally due to the formation of the ABN AMRO Mellon global custody joint venture on Dec. 31, 2002. Excluding the impact of the joint venture, institutional trust and custody fees were essentially flat compared with the second quarter of 2002 as net new business was offset by slowdowns in discretionary spending.

 

As shown in the following table, assets under administration or custody totaled $2.510 trillion at June 30, 2003, an increase of $210 billion, or 9%, compared with $2.300 trillion at March 31, 2003 and $297 billion, or 13%, compared with $2.213 trillion at June 30, 2002. The increase compared with March 31, 2003 resulted from market appreciation, the positive effect of favorable foreign exchange rates and new business conversions.

The market rate at the close of business was $.7373, $.6790, $.6339, $.6301, and $.6584 at June 30, 2003, March 31, 2003, Dec. 31, 2002, Sept. 30, 2002, and June 30, 2002, respectively, for one Canadian dollar.
(b)   Assets under administration or custody by ABN AMRO Mellon Global Securities Services B.V., a joint venture of the Corporation and ABN AMRO, included in the table above, were $262 billion at June 30, 2003, $218 billion at March 31, 2003, and $221 billion at Dec. 31, 2002. Assets under administration or custody by ABN AMRO Mellon, a previous strategic alliance of the Corporation and ABN AMRO, included in the table above, were $157 billion at Sept. 30, 2002; and $166 billion at June 30, 2002. The market rate at the close of business was $1.1496, $1.0911, $1.0462, $.9884, and $.9866 at June 30, 2003, March 31, 2003, Dec. 31, 2002, Sept. 30, 2002, and June 30, 2002, respectively, for one Euro.

 

Securities lending revenue

 

Securities lending revenue totaled $22 million in the second quarter of 2003 compared with $15 million in the first quarter of 2003 and $24 million in the second quarter of 2002. The increase compared with the first quarter of 2003 primarily resulted from higher seasonal volumes and wider international equity margins, which more than offset narrower domestic margins. The average level of securities on loan totaled $67 billion in the second quarter of 2003 compared with $55 billion in the first quarter of 2003 and $62 billion in the second quarter of 2002.

 

Human resources services fee revenue

 

Human resources services fee revenue generated from consulting, outsourcing and investor services totaled $245 million in the second quarter of 2003, an increase of $5 million, or 2% (unannualized), from the first quarter of 2003 primarily due to higher revenue relating to seasonal out-of-pocket expense reimbursements from clients. Human resources services fee revenue decreased $19 million, or 7%, from the second quarter of 2002. This decrease resulted from a 12% decrease in outsourcing revenues, reflecting the loss of revenues from former Unifi Network customers that had indicated their decision to terminate business prior to the closing of the acquisition in 2002, continued weakness in discretionary project spending by large corporate customers as well as lower volumes due to fewer clients and benefit plan participants, partially offset by new business. Consulting fee revenues decreased 9% compared with the second quarter of 2002 due principally to a slowdown in discretionary spending by large corporate customers since the first half of 2002.

 

Cash management revenue

 

Cash management fee revenue of $74 million in the second quarter of 2003 decreased $1 million, or 1% (unannualized), compared with the first quarter of 2003, and increased $3 million, or 5%, compared with the second quarter of 2002. The increase compared with the second quarter of 2002 primarily resulted from higher volumes of electronic and lockbox services. Fee revenue also increased due to the declining interest rate environment which resulted in lower compensating balance earnings for those customers maintaining

balances in lieu of paying fees. Cash management fee revenue does not include revenue from customers holding compensating balances on deposits in lieu of paying cash fees. The earnings on these compensating balances are recognized in net interest revenue. As also discussed in Net interest revenue on page 30, beginning in July 2003, due to a change in the manner in which the Corporation will be paid for cash management services by the Department of the Treasury, a major cash management customer, such compensation will be recorded as fee revenue instead of net interest revenue. At current business levels, this would result in an increase in cash management revenue of $15 to $20 million per quarter with a corresponding decrease of $15 to $20 million per quarter in net interest revenue.

 

Foreign exchange revenue

 

Foreign exchange revenue totaled $28 million in the second quarter of 2003, a $10 million, or 28% (unannualized), decrease compared with the first quarter of 2003, and a $9 million, or 26%, decrease compared with the second quarter of 2002. These decreases relate to costs associated with hedging specific customer-driven options contracts during a period of market volatility offset, in part, by higher client revenue.

 

Financing-related revenue

 

Financing-related revenue primarily includes loan commitment fees; letters of credit and acceptance fees; gains or losses on securitizations, loan sales and lease residuals; and returns from corporate-owned life insurance. Financing-related revenue totaled $38 million in the second quarter of 2003, an increase of $6 million, or 20%, compared with the first quarter of 2003, and remained unchanged compared with the second quarter of 2002. The increase compared with the first quarter of 2003 primarily reflects benefits received on corporate owned life insurance.

 

Equity investment revenue

 

Equity investment revenue includes realized and unrealized gains and losses on venture capital and non-venture capital investments. Revenue from non-venture capital investments includes equity income from certain investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting and gains (losses) from other equity investments.

The Corporation’s direct venture capital investments are categorized as either “growth and buyout,” “technology,” or “financial services.” Losses from venture capital activities totaled $13 million in the second quarter of 2003 as negative fair valuation adjustments and management fees of $13 million for third party indirect funds and $5 million from privately held direct investments were offset by realized gains of $5 million from third party indirect funds. The negative fair value adjustments of the third party indirect funds were recorded across all sectors, while the negative valuation adjustments of direct investments primarily related to a telecommunication company in the technology sector. Results from venture capital activity were a gain of $1 million in the first quarter of 2003 and a loss of $5 million in the second quarter of 2002. At June 30, 2003, approximately 61% of the direct investment portfolio was risk rated as “superior” or “meets expectations,” the two best risk ratings, compared with approximately 60% at March 31, 2003. However, continued weakness in the economy and further deterioration in the equity markets could result in additional losses in the future. See pages 33 and 34 of the 2002 Financial Annual Report for a description of the risk rating categories and for a further discussion of the factors used in the valuation process of the venture capital investments. See the table on page 47 of this Report for the second quarter 2003 and life-to-date activity of the Corporation’s venture capital investment portfolio.

 

Equity income from non-venture capital investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting, and other gains/losses from equity investments totaled a loss of $5 million in the second quarter of 2003 compared with gains of $2 million in the first quarter of 2003 and less than $1 million in the second quarter of 2002. The loss in the second quarter of 2003 primarily resulted from losses recorded in an investment in a Brazilian financial institution related to a tax settlement.

 

Gains on sales of securities

 

The gains on the sales of securities of $21 million in the second quarter of 2003 resulted from the sale of $485 million of other mortgage-backed securities. The sales and subsequent reinvestment of proceeds were undertaken to reduce the exposure of the portfolio to mortgage prepayments. At June 30, 2003, net unrealized gains remaining in the Corporation’s available for sale portfolio were $201 million, unchanged from March 31, 2003.

 

Year-to-date 2003 compared with year-to-date 2002

 

Fee revenue for the first six months of 2003 totaled $1.694 billion, a $172 million, or 9%, decrease compared with the first six months of 2002, primarily due to a 9% decrease in trust and investment fee revenue, lower equity investment revenue and lower foreign exchange revenue. The decrease in trust and investment fee revenue primarily resulted from a shift in the mix and a lower average level of assets under management, lower human resources services revenue and the Dec. 31, 2002, formation of the global custody joint venture ABN AMRO Mellon Global Securities Services B.V. The formation of this joint venture resulted in a $14 million reduction in fee revenue in the first six months of 2003 compared with the first six months of 2002.

 

Gross joint venture fee revenue (supplemental information)

 

The Corporation accounts for its interests in joint ventures under the equity method of accounting, with its share of the net results recorded primarily as trust and investment fee revenue. The Corporation’s portion of gross joint venture fee revenue and expenses are not included in the Corporation’s reported fee revenue and operating expense. The following table presents the components of gross joint venture fee revenue for informational purposes to show the trend of revenue growth in the Corporation’s joint ventures.

Net interest revenue


 

Net interest revenue on a fully taxable equivalent basis totaled $168 million in the second quarter of 2003, an increase of $8 million, or 5%, compared with $160 million in the first quarter of 2003 and an increase of $12 million, or 8%, compared with $156 million in the second quarter of 2002. The net interest margin was 2.94% in the second quarter of 2003, up 20 basis points compared with 2.74% in the first quarter of 2003 and 18 basis points compared with 2.76% in the second quarter of 2002. The increases in net interest revenue primarily resulted from a higher net interest margin due to numerous factors including the impact of higher interest revenue generated for services provided to the Department of the Treasury, a major cash management customer, as well as higher demand and money market deposits. Beginning in July 2003, due to a change in the manner in which the Corporation will be paid for cash management services by the Department of the Treasury, such compensation will be recorded as fee revenue. At current business levels, this would result in a reduction in net interest revenue of $15 to $20 million per quarter with a corresponding increase of $15 to $20 million per quarter in cash management revenue. The increase in net interest revenue compared with the second quarter 2002 was partially offset by the impact of the Dec. 31, 2002, formation of the ABN AMRO Mellon global custody joint venture, which resulted in a $3 million reduction in net interest revenue compared with the second quarter of 2002.

 

As a result of the Corporation’s stated intention to reduce credit availability to the corporate and institutional marketplace, it is expected that net interest revenue will be negatively impacted in the remainder of 2003. In addition, noninterest revenue could potentially be negatively impacted if customers transfer business to other providers. It is not possible to quantify the impact on either net interest revenue or noninterest revenue.

 

Year-to-date 2003 compared with year-to-date 2002

 

Net interest revenue and the net interest margin on a fully taxable equivalent basis were $328 million and 2.84%, respectively, in the first six months of 2003, compared with $314 million and 2.84%, respectively, in the first six months of 2002. The $14 million increase in the net interest revenue primarily resulted from the same factors that caused an increase in the second quarter of 2003 over the prior year quarter and a higher level of interest-earning assets, which more than offset a $9 million reduction due to the formation of the ABN AMRO joint venture. Average interest-earning assets increased by more than $900 million in the first six months of 2003 compared with the first six months of 2002 primarily due to higher levels of securities and money market investments partially offset by a lower level of loans.

(a)   Effective Jan. 1, 2003, the Corporation began recording an expense for the estimated fair value of stock options using the prospective method under transitional guidance provided in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure.” Stock option expense totaled less than $1 million in both the second quarter of 2003 and first six months of 2003. See Note 2 of Notes to Financial Statements for a further discussion of the impact of recording expense for stock options.
(b)   Operating expense as a percentage of fee and net interest revenue, computed on a taxable equivalent basis, excluding the gains on the sales of securities.
(c)   Period-end headcount does not include the equivalent staff impact of temporaries, contractors or overtime, which are included in average full-time equivalent staff.

 

Operating expense totaled $783 million in the second quarter of 2003, an increase of $25 million, or 3%, compared with the first quarter of 2003. This increase reflected higher professional, legal and other purchased services, higher incentive and severance expense and a $5 million charge at a subsidiary in Australia related to the reconciliation of client accounts related to actions which principally occurred prior to the increase in the Corporation’s ownership from 30% to 100% of the company. The increase in professional, legal and other purchased services was due in part to expenses incurred in support of business growth and a higher level of out-of-pocket client reimbursable expenses. Reimbursable out-of-pocket expenses, the reimbursement of which is recorded in revenue, totaled $31 million in the second quarter 2003 compared with $25 million in the first quarter 2003 and $33 million in the second quarter 2002. Incentive expense increased $11 million and severance expense (included in compensation expense above) increased $4 million, while base compensation expense was $7 million lower reflecting a reduction in headcount of approximately 500. In addition, the translation impact of the weaker dollar on non-U.S. expenses accounted for a $3 million increase in expenses.

 

Operating expense increased $23 million, or 3%, compared with the second quarter of 2002 primarily due to higher employee benefits expense for pension and medical benefits, an increase in professional, legal and other purchased services, higher severance, the reconciliation error discussed above, and a $9 million translation impact from the weaker dollar on non-U.S. expenses. The increase was partially offset by the impact of the formation of the ABN AMRO Mellon joint venture, lower advertising and travel expenses and lower incentive and base compensation expense. The formation of the ABN AMRO Mellon global custody joint venture resulted in a $9 million reduction in operating expenses compared with the second quarter of 2002.

Year-to-date 2003 compared with year-to-date 2002

 

Operating expense for the first six months of 2003 totaled $1.541 billion, a $9 million, or 1%, increase compared with the first six months of 2002, as lower incentive and base compensation expense, lower advertising and travel expense and a $17 million expense reduction due to the formation of the ABN AMRO Mellon joint venture primarily offset the impact of a lower pension credit and higher medical and other benefits expense, higher professional, legal and other purchased services and the translation impact of a weaker dollar.

 

Income taxes


 

The provision for income taxes from continuing operations totaled $79 million in the second quarter of 2003 compared with $49 million in the second quarter of 2002. The Corporation’s effective tax rate on income from continuing operations was 31.4% for the second quarter of 2003, compared with 32.8% for the full-year 2002. It is currently anticipated that the effective tax rate will remain approximately the same as the second quarter of 2003 for the balance of 2003.

Business sectors (continued)


 

The Corporation’s business sectors reflect its management structure, the characteristics of its products and services, and the classes of customers to which those products and services are delivered. The Corporation’s lines of business serve two major classes of customers—high net worth individuals/families and large institutional customers. Lines of business that offer similar or related products and services to common or similar customer decision makers have been aggregated into six core business sectors. In addition, Other Activity, as discussed further on pages 45 and 46, consists of all activities not aggregated in the Corporation’s core business sectors. The results of the Corporation’s core business sectors are presented and analyzed on an internal management reporting basis. There is no intercompany profit or loss on intersector activity. The accounting policies of the business sectors are the same as those described in Note 1 of the 2002 Financial Annual Report to Shareholders except: other fee revenue, net interest revenue and income taxes differ from the amounts shown in the Consolidated Income Statement because amounts presented in Business Sectors are on a fully taxable equivalent basis (FTE); and credit quality expense (revenue) for the core business sectors is presented on a net charge-off basis. Capital is allocated to the business sectors to reflect management’s assessment of credit risk, market risk and operating risk using internal risk assessments and factors and, where appropriate, regulatory guidelines. While external benchmarks are considered in the allocation process, the capital allocations may not be representative of the capital levels that would be required if these sectors were nonaffiliated business units. In the first quarter of 2003, the Corporation revised its capital allocations to the core business sectors to better reflect the economic capital required for these businesses, and in anticipation of an increase in required capital as proposed by the new Basel accord.

 

The Corporation’s core business sectors are divided into two overall reportable groups—Asset Management and Corporate & Institutional Services. The Asset Management group is comprised of the Institutional Asset Management, Mutual Funds and Private Wealth Management sectors. The Corporate & Institutional Services group is comprised of the Asset Servicing, Human Resources Services and Treasury Services sectors. In addition, Business Sector information is reported on a continuing operations basis for all periods presented. See Note 4 of the Notes to Financial Statements for a discussion of discontinued operations.

 

Following is a discussion of the Corporation’s six core business sectors and Other Activity. In the tables that follow, the income statement amounts are presented in millions and are on an FTE basis, the assets under management, administration or custody are period-end market values and are presented in billions, and the return on common equity is annualized. Where applicable, revenue and expense growth rates are reported excluding the impact of acquisitions, divestitures or the formation of joint ventures to improve period to period comparability. The operations of acquired businesses are integrated with the existing business sectors soon after most acquisitions are completed. As a result of the integration of staff support functions, management of customer relationships, operating processes and the financial impact of funding the acquisitions, the impact of the acquisitions on income before taxes cannot be accurately determined and therefore is not reported.

Institutional Asset Management is comprised of Mellon Institutional Asset Management (MIAM), which consists of a number of asset management companies offering a broad range of equity, fixed income, hedge and liquidity management products; and Mellon Global Investments (MGI), which distributes investment management products internationally. MIAM offers its investors access to a wide spectrum of investment styles and asset classes, ranging from active growth equity strategies to emerging markets to fixed income and asset allocation solutions. Most of these strategies are available on a separate account and pooled fund basis. The MIAM clients are predominately institutional investors (Corporations, Financial Institutions, Public Plan Sponsors, Foundations/Endowments, Insurance Companies, and Taft Hartley plans) although through its global distributor, MGI, funds are also sold to individuals via brokers. MIAM reaches its institutional investors through direct sales, consultant relationships and sub-advisory relationships. The results of the Institutional Asset Management sector are primarily driven by the period-end levels of assets managed as well as the mix of those assets, as shown in the tables on pages 25 and 26. Managed equity assets generate higher percentage fees than money market and bond assets. In addition, performance fees may be generated by the performance of the managed funds exceeding peer or equity markets benchmarks. Expenses associated with the Institutional Asset Management Sector are predominately driven by staffing costs and incentives. Incentives are directly associated with the performance of the individual asset management companies and new business generation.

 

The 17% increase in revenue in the second quarter of 2003 compared with the first quarter of 2003 was due to an $8 million increase in performance fees, as well as a 10% increase in investment management fees, which are based on the market value of assets under management. Operating expense increased 1% in the second quarter of 2003 compared with the first quarter of 2003, due to the translation impact of the weaker dollar on non-U.S. expenses, resulting in a $19 million increase in income before taxes. The 9% increase in revenue in the second quarter of 2003 compared with the second quarter of 2002 was primarily due to a $4 million increase in performance fees and a $4 million increase in investment management fees. Operating expense increased 6% compared with the second quarter of 2002, primarily due to the translation

impact of the weaker dollar on non-U.S. expenses. Excluding this factor, expenses were essentially flat compared with the prior year period. Income before taxes increased $5 million, or 25% compared with the second quarter of 2002. As shown in the table on the prior page, assets under management increased $31 billion and $24 billion, respectively, from March 31, 2003, and June 30, 2002, from market appreciation and net inflows as shown in the tables on pages 25 and 26.

 

On a year-to-date basis, revenue decreased 5% from the prior year, primarily due to a $14 million decrease in performance fees. Expenses increased $3 million, or 1%, year-to-date, resulting in a $17 million decrease in income before taxes. The increase in expenses was due to the translation impact of the weaker dollar on non-U.S. operations, which more than offset a decrease in staff expense and lower discretionary expenses.

Mutual Funds consists of all the activities associated with the Dreyfus/Founders complex of mutual funds. Products manufactured and distributed in this sector include mutual funds (equity, fixed income and money market), separately managed accounts and variable annuities. These products are sold through intermediaries (brokers, financial institutions and insurance companies) and directly to individuals. The results of the Mutual Fund sector are driven by average asset levels and the mix of assets managed. Generally, actively managed equity funds generate higher fees than fixed income funds, index funds and money market funds. In addition, results are impacted by sales of fee-based products such as fixed and variable annuities. Expenses are impacted by sales of long-term funds and fee-based products, asset levels of money market funds and the cost of advertising and marketing new and existing products.

 

Revenue decreased 1% in the second quarter of 2003 compared with the first quarter of 2003, primarily due to lower management fee revenue from institutional money market funds, partially offset by revenue related to positive flows into separately managed accounts and higher fees from equity mutual funds due to the improvement in the equity markets. Expenses increased 3%, resulting in a 7% decrease in income before taxes compared with the first quarter of 2003.

 

Revenue decreased 16% compared with the second quarter of 2002 principally due to a lower average level of equity funds resulting primarily from the decline in the equity markets, and a lower average level of

money market assets due to net outflows, partially offset by higher fees from separately managed accounts. Expenses decreased 8%, as a result of lower incentive and advertising expense. Income before taxes decreased 28% compared with the second quarter of 2002. Assets under management for this sector of $157 billion were up 4% from $152 billion at March 31, 2003, and down 4% from $164 billion at June 30, 2002.

 

On a year-to-date basis, revenue decreased 15% from the prior year, primarily due to lower average levels of equity funds and institutional money market funds, partially offset by an increase in revenue from separately managed accounts and fixed income funds. Expenses decreased 9% as a result of lower staff, incentive and advertising expense. Income before taxes was down 25% from the first six months of 2002.

(a)   Includes assets under management of $44 million, $40 million and $44 million, respectively.

 

Private Wealth Management provides investment management, wealth management, and comprehensive banking services for high net worth individuals, families, family offices, charitable gift programs, endowments, foundations, professionals and entrepreneurs. It operates from more than sixty locations in fourteen states, including the recent addition of eighteen new offices throughout Pennsylvania and the Mid-Atlantic region. The results of the Private Wealth Management sector are driven by the level of assets managed and custodied as well as the mix of those assets and the level of activity in client accounts. Net interest revenue is determined by the level and spread of loans and deposits. Expenses of this sector are driven by staff expense in the investment management, sales, service and support groups.

 

Revenue increased $1 million in the second quarter of 2003 compared with the first quarter of 2003, due to higher net interest revenue. Operating expense increased 7%, due to higher occupancy expense, resulting in a 7% decrease in income before taxes compared with the first quarter of 2003.

Revenue decreased 2% compared with the second quarter of 2002 reflecting the impact of the weak equity markets partially offset by higher net interest revenue. Expenses increased 9% primarily reflecting increased occupancy expense related to the build-out of wealth offices. Income before taxes decreased 14% compared with the second quarter of 2002. Client assets were $69 billion at June 30, 2003, an increase of 8% from March 31, 2003, and a decrease of 1% from June 30, 2002, reflecting the impact of the equity markets.

 

On a year-to-date basis, revenue decreased 3% and expenses increased 4%, resulting in a 10% decrease in income before taxes. The decrease in revenue from the first six months of 2002 primarily reflects the impact of weak equity markets. The increase in expense primarily relates to the build-out of wealth offices mentioned previously.

(a)   Primarily consists of foreign exchange revenue.

 

Asset Servicing includes institutional trust and custody and related services such as foreign exchange and derivative products, securities lending, backoffice outsourcing, performance measurement, benefits disbursements, transition management, commission recapture, transfer agency, fund accounting and administration and web-based investment management software. These services and products are provided to corporate and public retirement funds, foundations and endowments and global financial institutions including investment managers, insurance companies and mutual funds. As a global service provider, these products are distributed through the franchise’s sales organization along with the Corporation’s joint venture partners, CIBC Mellon, ABN AMRO Mellon and Russell Mellon. Internet based investment manager software solutions are provided by Eagle Investment Systems.

 

The results of the Asset Servicing sector are driven by a number of factors which include the market value of assets under administration and custody as well as the level of transaction activity and extent of services provided including custody, accounting, administration, daily valuations, performance measurement, securities lending, foreign exchange, and investment manager backoffice outsourcing. Market interest rates and changes to them impact both securities lending revenue and the earnings and value of client cash balances. Foreign exchange revenues are directly influenced by the volume of client transactions and the spread realized on such transactions, and indirectly influenced by factors including market volatility in major currencies, the level of cross-border assets held in custody for clients, and the level and nature of underlying

cross-border investment and other transactions undertaken by corporate and institutional clients. Eagle Investment Systems fee revenue is dependent on investment manager discretionary spending for license and development fees and professional services. Sector expenses are principally driven by staffing levels and technology investments necessary to process transaction volumes. Fees paid to subcustodians are driven by market values of global assets and related transaction volumes.

 

The 1% increase in revenue compared with the first quarter of 2003 was due to a seasonal increase in securities lending fees, net new business and a favorable market impact, partially offset by lower foreign exchange revenue. Operating expenses increased primarily from the translation impact of the weaker dollar on non-U.S. expenses. Income before taxes was unchanged compared with the first quarter of 2003.

 

Revenue and expenses in the second quarter of 2003 compared to the second quarter of 2002 were impacted by the Dec. 31, 2002, formation of the ABN AMRO Mellon global custody joint venture. Excluding the impact of this joint venture, revenue decreased 6% primarily from lower foreign exchange revenue and a slowdown in spending for professional and license fees for software products offered by Eagle Investment Systems, which more than offset growth in institutional trust and custody fees from net new business wins, and higher net interest revenue. Operating expense, excluding the impact of the joint venture, increased 2% primarily due the translation impact of the weaker dollar on non-U.S. expenses. Income before taxes decreased 26% compared with the second quarter of 2002. Assets under administration or custody for this sector were $2.369 trillion at June 30, 2003, an increase of $212 billion, or 10%, compared with March 31, 2003, and an increase of $303 billion, or 15%, compared with June 30, 2002. The increase compared with March 31, 2003, resulted from market appreciation, the positive effect of foreign exchange rates and new business conversions.

 

Revenue and expenses on a year-to-date basis were also impacted by the formation of the ABN AMRO Mellon global custody joint venture. Excluding the impact of the joint venture, revenue decreased 3%, primarily due to lower foreign exchange revenue. Operating expenses, excluding the impact of the joint venture, increased 4%, due primarily to the translation impact of the weaker dollar on non-U.S. expenses. Income before taxes was down 23% from the first six months of 2002.

Human Resources (HR) Services provides human resources consulting, outsourcing and administrative services that leverage technology to support client HR administration and employee benefit plan administration, as well as investor services such as shareholder and securities transfer services. Consulting fee revenue is dependent on large corporate discretionary spending on actuarial services, compensation and benefits consulting and project work. Clients are generally billed on an hourly basis at rates that vary based upon staff level and experience. Consultant utilization, a key statistic, is a function of work levels and headcount. Outsourcing and benefit plan administration are influenced by number of employees serviced, plan participant counts, volume of transactions processed, project work and market value of benefit plan assets under administration. Investor services consist of a diverse array of products to shareholders and corporations including stock transfer and record keeping services, investment plan services, demutualizations, corporate actions and unclaimed property services. Investor Services derives fee revenue from earnings related to customer balances maintained in an agency capacity. These balances totaled $615 million at June 30, 2003. Sector expenses are driven by staff, equipment and space required to support the services provided by the sector.

 

Compared with the first quarter of 2003, revenue increased 3% and expenses increased 4%, resulting in a $3 million decrease in income before taxes. Both revenues and expenses reflected higher seasonal out-of-pocket client reimbursable expenses, compared with the first quarter of 2003. In addition, second quarter 2003 expenses included severance expense.

 

Compared with the second quarter of 2002, revenue decreased 6% and expenses increased 1%, resulting in a $19 million decrease in income before taxes. The sector revenue decline was driven by a 13% decline in outsourcing revenue and a 5% decline in consulting revenue. The decline in outsourcing revenue was primarily due to the loss of revenues from former Unifi Network customers that had indicated their decisions to terminate business prior to the close of the Unifi Network acquisition in 2002. The decrease also reflected reduced discretionary project spending by large corporate customers as well as lower volumes due to fewer clients and benefit plan participants. Revenue from new business partially offset the negative impact. The decline in consulting revenue was due principally to a slowdown in discretionary spending by large corporate customers. The slight increase in sector expense primarily reflected severance expense recorded in the second quarter of 2003.

 

On a year-to-date basis, revenue for the HR Services sector decreased 7%, reflecting decreases in outsourcing and consulting revenues as described above. Operating expenses for the first six months of 2003 approximated the first six months of 2002 levels. Income before taxes was down $40 million from the first six months of 2002.

Treasury Services includes global cash management, credit products for large corporations, insurance premium financing, commercial real estate lending, corporate finance, securities underwriting and trading and the activities of Mellon 1st Business Bank, National Association, in California. Global cash management results are driven by electronic cash management activity including: automated clearing house, wire transfer and telecash; remittance processing services, primarily corporate and retail lockbox; and ancillary processing services for imaging and storage activities. The other significant driver is the net interest revenue earned from the deposit balances generated by activity across the business operations. These products are provided to large corporations, banks, brokers, insurance companies and government agencies.

 

The results of the Treasury Services sector’s lending lines of business—Large Corporate, AFCO, Real Estate Finance, and Mellon 1st Business Bank—are driven by the level of commitments, and fees applicable to these commitments, and the level of outstanding loans and the spreads on these loans. The results are further impacted by the risk profile that the Corporation will accept and, in the case of Mellon 1st Business Bank, its ability to gather significant levels of deposits. Securities underwriting results are driven by the general volatility of the bond and fixed income markets and the Corporation’s ability to generate new underwritings. In accordance with the Corporation’s management accounting reporting practices, credit quality expense for the core sectors reflects net credit losses, not the provision for credit losses. Therefore, a provision for credit losses is not included in the Treasury Services sector results. As also discussed in Other Activity below, when a determination is made that a lending arrangement does not meet the Corporation’s relationship strategy criteria, it is moved to Other Activity and managed under an exit strategy. Any subsequent credit quality expense (revenue) is reported in Other Activity and not in the core sectors.

 

Revenue for this sector increased by 1% in the second quarter of 2003 compared to the first quarter of 2003, due primarily to higher net interest revenue. Credit quality expense decreased $4 million, while operating expenses increased by 1%, resulting in a 5% increase in income before taxes.

 

Revenue increased 1% in the second quarter of 2003 compared to the second quarter of 2002, due to higher cash management fees, partially offset by lower securities underwriting revenues. Operating expenses increased by 3% due to higher employee benefits expense, resulting in a 2% decrease in income before taxes.

 

On a year-to-date basis, revenue increased by 3% due to higher cash management revenue and net interest revenue, somewhat offset by reduced earnings on lower levels of loans. Operating expenses increased 4% in the first six months of 2003, due in part to higher employee benefits and other expenses. In addition, credit quality expense increased $3 million, resulting in a less than 1% decrease in income before taxes.

 

Other Activity

 

Other Activity includes results for large ticket leasing, which is in a runoff mode, and certain lending relationships that are part of the Corporation’s business exits strategy; the results of Mellon Ventures, the Corporation’s venture capital group; and business activities or utilities, including Corporate Treasury, that are not separate lines of business or have not been fully allocated for management reporting purposes to the core business sectors.

Revenue in the Other Activity sector primarily reflects net interest revenue of business exits activity, earnings on capital above that required for the core business sectors, gains from the sale of assets, and the gains/losses and carrying costs of Mellon Ventures activities. Operating expense includes various direct expenses for items not attributable to the operations of a business sector, a net credit for the net corporate level (income) expense amounts allocated from Other Activity to the core business sectors, and the expenses of Mellon Ventures. Assets in Other Activity include assets of the activities discussed below that the Corporation intends to exit, the investments of Mellon Ventures and assets of certain areas not identified with the core business sectors. This sector also includes assets and liabilities recorded in Corporate Treasury and not allocated to a particular line of business. Average common and Tier I preferred equity represents capital in excess of that required for the core business sectors, as well as capital required for the investments of Mellon Ventures and business exits.

 

In accordance with the Corporation’s management accounting reporting practices, credit quality expense (revenue) for the core business sectors is presented on a net charge-off basis and totaled less than $1 million in the second quarter of 2003. Credit quality expense (revenue) in Other Activity represents the Corporation’s provision for credit losses in excess of net charge-offs recorded in the core business sectors. When a determination is made that a borrowing arrangement does not meet the Corporation’s relationship strategy criteria, it is moved to business exits in Other Activity and managed under an exit strategy. Any subsequent credit quality expense (revenue) is reported in Other Activity and not in the core sectors. The Corporation’s business exits strategy is to exit all credit relationships for which a broad fee-based relationship resulting from the cross-sale of the Corporation’s fee-based services does not exist, or for which the customer does not meet the Corporation’s credit quality criteria. The loans and leases transferred to this classification include the Corporation’s large ticket lease portfolio, which was principally transaction based; selected types of loans which were also transaction based (leveraged loans, project financings); and loans to companies where a broad fee-based relationship does not exist or for which the customer does not meet the Corporation’s credit quality criteria. The Corporation will not renew its credit relationship with such companies when the respective contractual commitment periods end. The Corporation may consider selling remaining commitments on a case-by-case basis as opportunities arise.

 

Included in Other Activity in the second quarter of 2003 is $21 million of gains from the sale of securities undertaken to reduce the exposure of the portfolio to mortgage prepayments, and the $5 million charge for the reconciliation of client accounts in Australia previously discussed. The results in Other Activity for the first quarter of 2003 included $11 million of gains from the sale of securities. Results for the second quarter of 2002 included the $160 million provision for credit losses associated in large part with credit exposure related to customers that had been associated with allegations of accounting irregularities.

These decreases resulted from actions taken to reduce exposure to the corporate and institutional market place and from securitizations of insurance premium financing loans, including a securitization of insurance premium financing loans at a Canadian subsidiary in the first quarter of 2003. As shown in the following table, large corporate loans totaled $2.079 billion, a $308 million, or 13%, decrease from March 31, 2003.

(a)   For a discussion of off-balance-sheet financial instruments with contract amounts that represent credit risk, see pages 107 through 110 of the 2002 Financial Annual Report. In addition, the Corporation had commitments to fund venture capital investments of $203 million, $222 million, $239 million and $232 million, respectively.
(b)   Net of participations totaling $891 million, $938 million, $1.004 billion and $1.033 billion, respectively.
(c)   Net of participations and collateral totaling $27 million, $22 million, $27 million and $28 million, respectively.
(d)   Net of participations and cash collateral totaling $229 million, $229 million, $203 million and $432 million, respectively. At June 30, 2003, standby letters of credit and foreign and other guarantees had a weighted average maturity of approximately one year.

 

Commitments to extend credit

 

Total commitments to extend credit decreased $1.1 billion, or 6%, compared with March 31, 2003, $1.7 billion, or 9%, compared with Dec. 31, 2002, and $4.1 billion, or 19%, compared with June 30, 2002. Commitments to extend credit expiring over one year at June 30, 2003, decreased $341 million, or 4%, compared with March 31, 2003, $543 million, or 7%, compared with Dec. 31, 2002, and $853 million, or 11%, compared with June 30, 2002, primarily resulting from the Corporation’s actions to exit credit relationships for which a broad fee-based relationship resulting from the cross-sale of fee-based services does not exist, or for which the customer does not meet the Corporation’s credit quality criteria.

 

The table on page 49 presents a summary of unfunded commitments to extend credit at June 30, 2003.

 

Other guarantees and indemnities

 

In the normal course of business, the Corporation offers guarantees in support of certain joint ventures and subsidiaries, and certain other guarantees and indemnities. For information on standby letters of credit and foreign and other guarantees, and custodian securities lent with indemnification against broker default of return of securities, see pages 108 and 109 of the 2002 Financial Annual Report.

 

Mellon Bank, N.A. and ABN AMRO Bank N.V. entered into a joint venture to provide global securities services, with operations commencing in January 2003. Each of the two partners signed a statutory declaration under Dutch law as of Dec. 31, 2002, to be jointly and severally liable with the joint venture to parties that have a provable contractual debt or damage claim. The benefit of this declaration is potentially available to all creditors and customers of the joint venture with valid legal claims where the joint venture

has defaulted, and totaled approximately $16.6 billion at June 30, 2003, primarily relating to seasonal securities lending activity. This amount assumes that there is no capital or assets of the joint venture to satisfy such claims and that there is no level of contribution by ABN AMRO Bank N.V.

 

As of June 30, 2003, the Corporation provided a guarantee for one-half of a $7 million debt incurred by Pareto Partners, in which the Corporation has a 30% equity interest.

 

The Corporation provides TRFCO liquidity support and a letter of credit in support of TRFCO’s commercial paper. See below and pages 87 and 88 of the 2002 Financial Annual Report for a detailed discussion of these arrangements.

 

The Corporation has issued put options to holders of certificates sold by certain qualifying special-purpose entities (QSPEs), relating to the Corporation’s jumbo mortgage securitizations. The put options allow the holders to sell the certificates, collateralized by the principal of the loans, to the Corporation at specified prices based on the then outstanding principal amount of the certificates at future dates if certain triggering events occur over the next five years. The total certificates outstanding from the QSPEs at June 30, 2003 subject to such agreements was $89 million. The Corporation has recorded a liability for the put options of less than $1 million at June 30, 2003.

 

The Corporation has also provided customary indemnification for legal proceedings against its directors and officers, and standard representations for underwriting agreements, acquisition and divestiture agreements, sales of loans and commitments, and other similar types of arrangements. It is not possible to estimate a maximum potential amount of payments that could be required with such agreements. The Corporation has purchased insurance to mitigate certain of these risks.

 

The Corporation is a minority equity investor in, and member of, several industry clearing or settlement exchanges through which foreign exchange, securities or other transactions settle. Certain of these industry clearing or settlement exchanges require their members to guarantee their obligations and liabilities or to provide financial support in the event other partners do not honor their obligations.

 

Referral arrangements with TRFCO, an asset-backed commercial paper entity

 

The Corporation’s primary banking subsidiary, Mellon Bank, N.A. (the Bank) has a referral relationship with Three Rivers Funding Corp. (TRFCO), a special purpose entity that issues commercial paper. TRFCO is owned by an independent third party and is not a subsidiary of either the Bank or the Corporation. Its financial results are not included in the financial statements of the Bank or the Corporation. TRFCO was formed in 1990 and can issue up to $5 billion of commercial paper to purchase pools of receivables or asset-backed securities. The Bank operates as a referral agent and refers transactions to TRFCO. For a complete description of the Corporation’s relationship with TRFCO, see pages 87 and 88 of the 2002 Financial Annual Report.

 

Fee revenue of $2 million was received from this entity in second quarter of 2003 compared with $1 million in the first quarter of 2003 and $3 million in the second quarter of 2002, for the services and the liquidity and credit support facilities.

Composition of loan portfolio (continued)


 

At June 30, 2003, TRFCO’s receivables and commercial paper outstanding each totaled approximately $1.2 billion, compared with $1.1 billion at March 31, 2003. A letter of credit provided by the Bank in support of TRFCO’s commercial paper totaled $92 million at June 30, 2003, compared with $82 million at March 31, 2003. The Corporation’s maximum loss exposure related to TRFCO, which is required to be disclosed under recently issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 (FIN No. 46), is the full amount of a liquidity facility, or $1.2 billion, at June 30, 2003. However, the probability of this loss scenario is remote as it would mean that all of TRFCO’s receivables were wholly uncollectible. Since TRFCO’s formation in 1990, the Bank has not been required to provide any liquidity support or credit support under the letter of credit. In addition, the Bank has never purchased a receivable from TRFCO or recorded a credit loss related to its relationship with TRFCO. As a result of actions taken by TRFCO, the Corporation is not the “primary beneficiary” of TRFCO, as defined by FIN No. 46 and will not be required to consolidate TRFCO’s assets and liabilities into the Corporation’s financial statements in the third quarter of 2003. See page 66 for a further discussion of FIN No. 46.

 

Nonperforming assets


 

 

Nonperforming assets increased $15 million at June 30, 2003, compared with March 31, 2003, and decreased $115 million compared with June 30, 2002. The $15 million increase primarily resulted from the addition of a $12 million loan to a cable television operator to nonperforming status. The $115 million decrease primarily resulted from credit losses and sale of portions of a $100 million loan to WorldCom, Inc. Of the $61 million balance of total nonperforming assets at June 30, 2003, $37 million was to a California-based electric and natural gas utility company that voluntarily filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in the second quarter of 2001, $12 million was to the cable television operator, $4 million remains of the loan to WorldCom, Inc. and $8 million consisted of various smaller loans and acquired assets. The Corporation believes the loss content of the loans on nonperforming status to not be significant based on recent market prices for the loans and the fact that loans totaling $52 million have remained current with respect to interest payments. Where applicable, the Corporation has evaluated these loans for impairment and concluded that the impairment reserve needed is minimal. Additional information regarding the Corporation’s practices for placing assets on nonaccrual status is presented in the “Nonperforming assets” discussion and in Note 1 in the Corporation’s 2002 Financial Annual Report.

The following table presents the amount of loans that were 30-59 days, 60-89 days and 90 days or more past due as to principal or interest. Loans 90 days or more past due, that are not classified as nonaccrual loans, were either well secured and in the process of collection, or were non-real estate secured personal loans that are automatically charged off upon reaching various stages of delinquency, generally 120 days past due. Real estate secured personal loans are generally placed on nonaccrual status upon reaching 180 days past due.

Provision and reserve for credit exposure

 


 

The Corporation’s accounting policies regarding the reserve for credit exposure are regarded as critical accounting policies in that they involve significant management valuation judgements. The Corporation’s banking subsidiaries maintain a reserve for loan losses that is intended to adjust the value of their loans for inherent credit losses. The banking subsidiaries also maintain a reserve for unfunded commitments, namely loan commitments, letters of credit and bankers acceptances, that is reported as a liability on the Corporation’s consolidated balance sheet. Provisions are recorded for each reserve. Transfers between the reserves can occur in conjunction with funding a loan and thereby decreasing unfunded commitments or conversely repaying a loan and thereby increasing unfunded commitments. The level of the reserve for unfunded commitments is determined following a methodology similar to that used for the reserve for loan losses. The Corporation refers to the combined balance of the reserve for loan losses and the reserve for unfunded commitments as the “reserve for credit exposure”. For a further discussion of the Corporation’s accounting policies relating to the reserve for credit exposure, see pages 54 and 55 of the 2002 Financial Annual Report.

 

The Corporation’s reserve for credit exposure is solely an estimate based on management’s judgement. Due to the significance of management’s judgement used to calculate the Corporation’s reserves, actual losses incurred could be higher or lower than the estimated reserves. When losses on specific loans or commitments are identified, management charges off the portion deemed uncollectible.

The base reserve totaled $90 million at June 30, 2003, an increase of $1 million compared with $89 million at March 31, 2003 and a decrease of $14 million compared with Dec. 31, 2002 and $15 million compared with June 30, 2002. The increase compared with March 31, 2003 was primarily driven by higher international and lease reserves due to decreases in credit quality, which more than offset a decrease in the commercial and financial base reserve reflecting a lower level of outstandings. The decreases compared with Dec. 31, 2002, and June 30, 2002, were primarily driven by a lower commercial and financial base reserve reflecting a lower level of outstandings. There was no impairment reserve at June 30, 2003 and March 31, 2003, compared with $2 million at Dec. 31, 2002, and $83 million at June 30, 2002. The decrease compared with June 30, 2002, reflects the lower level of nonperforming loans and higher expectations of collectibility. Nonperforming loans as a percentage of total loans were .77% at June 30, 2003, compared with .58% at March 31, 2003, .68% at Dec. 31, 2002, and 1.78% at June 30, 2002. The unallocated reserve totaled $23 million at June 30, 2003, a decrease of $2 million compared with $25 million at March 31, 2003. The reserve reflects continued uncertainty about the financial condition of customers in industries sensitive to increases in oil prices, and in the energy/electrical utilities and cable/media industries as well as concern over selected instances of accounting irregularities.

 

The reserve on commitments totaled $57 million at June 30, 2003, an increase of $2 million from March 31, 2003 and $14 million from both Dec. 31, 2002, and June 30, 2002, despite a decrease of undrawn commitments, reflecting a general decline in credit quality. The reserve on letters of credit and bankers acceptances totaled $9 million at June 30, 2003, unchanged from March 31, 2003.

Provision and reserve for credit exposure (continued)


 

The provision for credit losses totaled $3 million in the second quarter of 2003, compared with $4 million in the first quarter of 2003. The provision for credit losses totaled $160 million in the second quarter of 2002 and was recorded in large part for credit exposure related to customers that had been associated with allegations of accounting irregularities.

 

Net credit-related losses totaled $2 million in the second quarter of 2003, compared with $5 million in the first quarter of 2003 and $7 million in the second quarter of 2002, as detailed in the table on page 57.

 

The reserve for loan losses as a percentage of loans was 1.46% at June 30, 2003, compared with 1.46% at March 31, 2003, and 2.47% at June 30, 2002. The reserve as a percentage of nonperforming loans was 189% at June 30, 2003, 253% at March 31, 2003, and 138% at June 30, 2002. These ratios are products of the reserve calculation methodology which estimates appropriate reserves for each component of the loan portfolio. The resulting ratios are benchmarks, but not targets. The ratio of the reserve for loan losses to nonperforming loans is an outcome of two interrelated but separate processes: the establishment of an appropriate loan loss reserve level for the portfolio as a whole, including the nonperforming component in the portfolio; and the classification of certain assets as nonperforming in accordance with established accounting, regulatory and management policies. While the level of nonperforming loans is an indication of the overall credit quality of the loan portfolio, there is no direct correlation between the level of nonperforming loans and the size of the reserve for loan losses. The Corporation’s management concluded that, at June 30, 2003, the overall reserve level was appropriate to recognize inherent losses in the loan portfolio. The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors concurred.

(a)   Excludes other assets and liabilities of discontinued operations.

 

The decrease in the Corporation’s average interest-earning assets compared with the first quarter of 2003 resulted from lower levels of money market investments and loans. The increase compared with the second quarter of 2002 resulted from higher levels of securities and money market investments, which more than offset a lower level of loans.

 

Core funds, considered to be the most stable sources of funding, are defined principally as institutional money market deposits and other deposit sweeps, individual money market and other savings deposits, savings certificates, demand deposits, shareholders’ equity, notes and debentures with original maturities over one year, trust-preferred securities, and other liabilities. Core funds primarily support core assets, consisting of loans, net of the reserve, and noninterest-earning assets (excluding other assets of discontinued operations). Average core assets decreased $419 million in the second quarter of 2003 from the first quarter of 2003, reflecting a lower level of loans. Core funds averaged 152% of core assets in the second quarter of 2003 compared with 166% in the first quarter of 2003 and 132% in the second quarter of 2002. The excess of core funds over core assets are typically invested in securities.

 

Purchased funds are defined as funds acquired in the wholesale money markets including deposits in foreign offices (excluding cash management and sub-custodial sweep deposits), federal funds purchased and securities sold under repurchase agreements, negotiable certificates of deposit, other time deposits, U.S. Treasury tax and loan demand notes, commercial paper, short-term bank notes, other funds borrowed, and funds allocated from discontinued operations (excluding other liabilities of discontinued operations). Average purchased funds increased $2.5 billion in the second quarter of 2003 from the first quarter of 2003, primarily due to an increase in federal funds purchased and securities under repurchase agreements. Average purchased funds totaled 15% of total average assets in the second quarter of 2003 compared with 8% in the first quarter of 2003 and 20% in the second quarter of 2002.

Minority interest totaled $13 million, $17 million and $24 million, respectively. The amount of goodwill and intangible assets subtracted from shareholders’ equity and total assets is net of the tax benefit. Tax benefits related to tax deductible goodwill and intangible assets totaled $451 million, $448 million and $397 million, respectively.
(b)   The required minimum Tier I, Total and Leverage capital ratios are 4%, 8% and 3%, respectively. For a banking institution to qualify as well capitalized, its Tier I, Total and Leverage capital ratios must be at least 6%, 10% and 5%, respectively.
(c)   Includes discontinued operations.

 

The Corporation’s capital ratios at June 30, 2003, compared with Dec. 31, 2002, and June 30, 2002, reflect the impact of a higher level of period-end assets and common stock repurchases, net of reissuances, offset in part by the effect of earnings retention. The higher level of period-end assets at June 30, 2003, resulted from a higher level of deposits, which are expected to return to a more typical level in subsequent months. The tangible shareholders’ equity to assets ratio, computed by using average tangible assets for the quarter, was 5.85% at June 30, 2003. This compared with the ratio of 5.13%, computed by using period-end tangible assets at June 30, 2003. In addition, the Tier I and Total capital ratios were impacted by an increase in the guarantee provided to the ABN AMRO Mellon joint venture. The guarantee at June 30, 2003 resulted in lower Tier I and Total capital ratios of approximately 100 basis points and 160 basis points, respectively, a portion of which was due to seasonal securities lending activity.

 

During the second quarter of 2003, 2.2 million shares of common stock were repurchased at a purchase price of $58 million for an average share price of $26.76, which completed the November 2001 share repurchase program. Share repurchases in the first six months of 2003 totaled 3.5 million shares at a purchase price of $86 million for an average share price of $24.79. At June 30, 2003, an additional 23.5 million common shares were available for repurchase under a repurchase program authorized by the Board of Directors in October 2002.

Capital (continued)


 

The Corporation considers internally generated tangible capital to be available for the following; dividends to shareholders; to support business growth; acquisitions; and share repurchases. The Corporation expects the majority of its internal capital generation to be available for acquisitions or, to the extent such acquisitions are not pending, for the repurchase of common stock, all subject to maintaining its commitment to remain well capitalized. The Corporation endeavors to maintain a minimum tangible shareholders’ equity to assets ratio (as defined above) in a range of 5% to 6%.

Liquidity and dividends


 

The Corporation manages its liquidity position with the objective of maintaining the ability to fund balance sheet commitments and to repay liabilities in accordance with their terms, even during periods of market or financial stress. Assets and liabilities are managed in such a way to accommodate changes in funding requirements without generating a material adverse impact on net income. Core demand and time deposits, gathered from the Corporation’s private wealth management and corporate and institutional services businesses, are used in conjunction with long term debt to provide stable sources of funding. Purchased funds, acquired from a variety of sources and customers in worldwide financial markets, are used to supplement the core sources of funding. Liquid assets, in the form of money market investments and portfolio securities held available for sale, are also utilized to meet short-term requirements for cash. Liquidity is managed on both a consolidated basis and at Mellon Financial Corporation, the Parent Corporation.

 

The Parent Corporation has access to the following principal sources of liquidity: dividends and interest from its subsidiaries, the commercial paper market, a revolving credit agreement with third party financial institutions and access to the capital markets. The ability of national and state member bank subsidiaries to pay dividends to the Parent Corporation is subject to certain regulatory limitations. For a discussion of these limitations, see Note 25 in the 2002 Financial Annual Report. Under the more restrictive limitation, the Corporation’s national and state member bank subsidiaries can, without prior regulatory approval, declare dividends subsequent to June 30, 2003, of approximately $625 million, less any dividends declared and plus or minus net profits or losses, as defined, earned between July 1, 2003, and the date of any such dividend declaration.

 

At June 30, 2003, the Parent Corporation held cash and marketable securities of $853 million. For the second quarter of 2003, the Parent Corporation’s quarterly average commercial paper borrowings were $16 million, compared with $68 million in the second quarter of 2002. Commercial paper outstanding was $4 million at June 30, 2003.

Liquidity and dividends (continued)


 

The Parent Corporation has a $250 million revolving credit agreement with financial institutions that expires in June 2004. There were no borrowings under this facility at June 30, 2003. The Parent Corporation also has the ability to access the capital markets. As of June 30, 2003, the Parent Corporation had an effective debt shelf registration statement with $100 million of unused capacity. The Parent Corporation will have $2 billion of capacity to issue debt, equity and trust-preferred securities upon the effectiveness of a new shelf registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 28, 2003. In June 2003, the Corporation issued $100 million of 5% subordinated notes maturing in 2014. These notes will be fully fungible with, and form a single series with, the $300 million of 5% subordinated notes maturing in 2014 that were issued by the Corporation in November 2002. Contractual maturities of the Corporation’s long-term debt totaled $152 million in the second quarter of 2003, and will total approximately $300 million for the remainder of 2003. Access to the capital markets is partially dependent on the Corporation’s and Mellon Bank, N.A.’s credit ratings which are shown in the following table.

The Corporation paid $59 million in common stock dividends in the second quarter of 2003, compared with $53 million in the prior-year period. The common dividend payout ratio, on a net income basis, was 35% in the second quarter of 2003 on a dividend of $.14 per share compared with 48% in the second quarter of 2002 on a dividend of $.12 per share. Based upon shares outstanding at June 30, 2003, and the current quarterly common stock dividend rate of $.14 per share, the annualized common stock dividend requirement would be approximately $240 million.

 

As shown in the consolidated statement of cash flows, cash and due from banks increased by $298 million during the first six months of 2003 to $3.026 billion. The increase resulted from $1.715 billion of net cash provided by financing activities and $52 million of net cash provided by operating activities, partially offset by $1.472 billion of net cash used in investing activities. Net cash provided by financing activities primarily resulted from a higher level of deposits. Net cash used in investing activities primarily resulted from an increase in the level of federal funds sold, term deposits and other money market investments and securities available for sale.

 

Interest rate sensitivity analysis


 

Interest rate risk is measured using net interest margin simulation and asset/liability net present value sensitivity analyses. The following table illustrates the simulation analysis of the impact of a 50, 100 and 200 basis point shift upward or 50 and 100 basis point shift downward in interest rates on net interest revenue, earnings per share and return on equity. Given the low interest rate environment that existed in the second quarter of 2003, the impact of a 200 basis point downward shift is not shown in the table. This analysis was prepared using the levels of all interest-earning assets, supporting funds and derivative

instruments used for interest rate risk management at June 30, 2003, and excluding the impact of interest receipts on nonperforming loans. The impact of the rate movements was developed by simulating the effect of rates changing in a gradual fashion over a six-month period from the June 30, 2003, levels and remaining at those levels thereafter. Financial market conditions and management’s response to events may cause actual results to differ from simulated results. Additional information regarding the Corporation’s interest rate risk management is presented in the “Interest rate sensitivity analysis” discussion in the Corporation’s 2002 Financial Annual Report.

The anticipated impact on net interest revenue under various scenarios did not exceed the Corporation’s guidelines for assuming interest rate risk at both June 30, 2003, and June 30, 2002. The simulation results reflect the Corporation’s efforts to manage the repricing characteristics of its interest-earning assets and supporting funds. The guidelines used by the Corporation for assuming interest rate risk are presented on page 42 of the 2002 Financial Annual Report.

 

Managing interest rate risk with derivative instruments

 

Derivatives are used as part of the Corporation’s overall asset/liability management process to augment the management of interest rate exposure. The following table presents the gross notional amounts and weighted-average maturities of derivative instruments used to manage interest rate risk, identified by the underlying interest rate-sensitive instruments. The gross notional amount of interest rate swaps used to manage interest rate risk was $1.876 billion lower at June 30, 2003, compared with Dec. 31, 2002, due to maturities of instruments associated with money market deposits. The notional amounts should be viewed in the context of the Corporation’s overall interest rate risk management activities to assess the impact on the net interest margin. Additional information regarding these contracts is presented in Note 28 in the 2002 Financial Annual Report.

(a)   The amount of credit risk associated with these instruments is limited to the cost of replacing a contract in a gain position, on which a counterparty may default. Credit risk associated with these instruments was $311 million at June 30, 2003, $262 million at Dec. 31, 2002, and $142 million at June 30, 2002. The credit risk associated with interest rate swaps is calculated after considering master netting agreements, which includes derivative instruments used for risk management purposes and derivative instruments used for trading activities.

Interest rate sensitivity analysis (continued)


 

The interest received and interest paid are recorded on an accrual basis in the interest revenue and interest expense accounts associated with the underlying liabilities and assets. The net differential resulted in interest revenue of $30 million and $61 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2003, compared with interest revenue of $22 million and $43 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2002. The estimated unrealized fair value of the Corporation’s risk management derivative instruments at June 30, 2003, was $331 million, compared to $277 million at Dec. 31, 2002, and $144 million at June 30, 2002. These values must be viewed in the context of the overall financial structure of the Corporation, including the aggregate net position of all on- and off-balance-sheet instruments.

 

Fair Value Hedges

 

The Corporation enters into interest rate swaps to convert portions of its fixed rate trust-preferred securities to floating rate securities, its fixed rate long-term debt to floating rate debt and, to a small degree, certain fixed rate loans to variable rate loans. The fixed rate liability instruments are changed to variable rate instruments by entering into receive fixed/pay variable swaps and the fixed rate asset instruments are changed to variable rate instruments by entering into pay fixed/receive variable swaps. No ineffectiveness was recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2003, and June 30, 2002.

 

Cash Flow Hedges

 

The Corporation uses interest rate swaps to convert money market deposits to fixed rate deposits. The deposits are changed to fixed rate by entering into pay fixed/receive floating swaps. Changes in the fair value of the interest rate swaps designated as hedging instruments of the variable cash flows associated with the Corporation’s deposits are reported in comprehensive results. These amounts are subsequently reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive results to interest expense in the same period in which the related interest on the deposits affects earnings. At June 30, 2003, all cash flow hedges had matured. Ineffectiveness of less than $1 million was recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2003, and June 30, 2002.

 

Hedges of Net Investment in Foreign Operations

 

The Corporation uses five year yen denominated debt to hedge its investment in a Japanese bank. The purpose of this hedge is to protect against adverse movements in exchange rates.

Instruments used for trading activities


 

The Corporation enters into various foreign exchange and interest rate derivative contracts for trading purposes. Trading activities primarily involve providing various derivative products to customers to assist them in managing foreign currency exchange risk, interest rate risk and equity price risk and for managing the Corporation’s risks in certain trading portfolios and as part of its proprietary trading activities. All of these instruments are carried at market value with realized and unrealized gains and losses included in foreign exchange revenue and securities trading revenue. Additional information regarding these contracts is presented on pages 45 and 46 and in Note 28 in the 2002 Financial Annual Report.

 

Credit default swaps allow the transfer of credit risk from one party to another for a fee. At June 30, 2003, the Corporation had $206 million notional value of credit default swaps outstanding. These swaps are used to hedge credit risk associated with commercial lending activities, and are included with the other products in the following table. Fair value adjustments resulting in net losses of less than $1 million were recorded in securities trading revenue on the credit default swaps in both the second quarter and the first six months of 2003.

(a)   The amount of credit risk associated with these instruments is limited to the cost of replacing a contract in a gain position, on which a counterparty may default. Credit risk associated with these instruments, primarily foreign currency and option contracts, was $1.038 billion at June 30, 2003, $1.096 billion at March 31, 2003, $1.119 billion at Dec. 31, 2002, and $1.253 billion at June 30, 2002. The credit risk associated with these instruments is calculated after considering master netting agreements, which are generally applicable to instruments used for both trading activities and risk management purposes.

 

The Corporation uses a value-at-risk methodology to estimate the potential daily amount that could be lost from adverse market movements. Using the Corporation’s methodology, which considers such factors as changes in currency exchange rates, interest rates, spreads and related volatility, the aggregate value-at-risk for trading activities was approximately $5 million at both June 30, 2003, and Dec. 31, 2002.

Recent accounting pronouncements and developments


 

In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity.” SFAS No. 150 establishes standards for classifying and measuring certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. SFAS No. 150 is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003. The Corporation does not expect this pronouncement to have a material impact on its results of operations or financial condition.

 

In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, “Amendment of Statement No. 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” Among other things, this Statement requires that contracts with comparable characteristics be accounted for similarly and clarifies under what circumstances a contract with an initial net investment meets the characteristics of a derivative. SFAS No. 149 is effective July 1, 2003. The Corporation does not expect this pronouncement to have a material impact on its results of operations or financial condition.

 

On Jan. 1, 2003, the Corporation adopted SFAS No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations.” SFAS No. 143 requires an entity to record a liability for an obligation associated with the retirement of an asset and for certain lease transaction obligations at the time the liability is incurred by capitalizing the cost and depreciating it over the remaining useful life of that asset. The initial application of SFAS No. 143 was reported as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle in the income statement. The Corporation recognized a one-time after-tax charge of $7 million, or $.01 per share (pre-tax cost of $11 million), in the first quarter of 2003, for the establishment of a liability for obligations to restore leased facilities, principally outside the U.S., to their original condition at the end of the leases. The annual ongoing impact of this accounting standard, based on leases presently in effect, is an increase in occupancy expense of approximately $2 million pre-tax.

 

In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46 (FIN No. 46), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities.” This Interpretation addresses consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest entities (VIEs). A VIE is subject to the consolidation provisions of FIN No. 46 if, by design, it cannot support its financial activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties and does not have equity investors which as a group have the ability to make decisions about its activities through voting rights. FIN No. 46 requires a VIE to be consolidated by its primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary is the party that holds variable interests that expose it to a majority of the entity’s expected losses and/or residual returns. The application of this Interpretation was immediate for VIE’s created after Jan. 31, 2003 and is effective July 1, 2003, for variable interest entities that existed prior to Feb. 1, 2003.

 

Three Rivers Funding Corporation (TRFCO), a VIE, is not subject to the consolidation provisions of FIN No. 46 in the Corporation’s financial statements because it sold subordinated capital notes to an unrelated third party, and as a result the Corporation is not the primary beneficiary. Along with other companies and the accounting industry, the Corporation is evaluating and interpreting the potential impact of FIN No. 46 on the accounting for its Trust-Preferred Securities as well as the continued consolidation of the statutory business trusts that issued these securities. The Trust-Preferred Securities were issued by two statutory business trusts, the common stock of which is 100% owned by the Corporation. The Trust-Preferred Securities of one of the business trusts are currently hedged and to date, a $66 million change in fair value has been recorded as an adjustment to the carrying value of the hedged liabilities, along with a corresponding $66 million change in the fair value of the related hedging instrument. In July 2003, the Federal Reserve Board issued a supervisory letter indicating that Trust-Preferred Securities currently will continue to qualify as Tier 1 capital for regulatory purposes until further notice. The Federal Reserve Board has also stated that it will continue to review the regulatory implications of any accounting treatment changes and will provide further guidance, if necessary. No other impact of significance on the Corporation’s results of operations or financial condition is expected from this Interpretation.

Recent accounting pronouncements and developments (continued)


 

In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure,” an amendment of SFAS No. 123. SFAS No. 148 provides alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. Beginning Jan. 1, 2003, the Corporation started recording an expense for the estimated fair value of stock options using the prospective method under the transitional guidance provided in SFAS No. 148. Stock option expense totaled less than $1 million in both the second quarter and first six months of 2003. See Note 2 for a further discussion of the impact of recording expense for stock options.

 

In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45, “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others.” This Interpretation requires that a guarantor recognize, at the inception of a guarantee, a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing the guarantee. The initial recognition and measurement provisions of this Interpretation were applicable on a prospective basis to guarantees issued or modified after Dec. 31, 2002. At June 30, 2003, the Corporation recorded a liability of $6 million related to letters of credit issued or modified in 2003. The fair value of the liability was estimated as the present value of contractual customer fees. For a further discussion of certain guarantees provided by the Corporation see pages 50 and 51.

 

Item 4.— Controls and Procedures


 

The Corporation’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer have evaluated the effectiveness of the Corporation’s “disclosure controls and procedures,” as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the “Exchange Act”) as of June 30, 2003. Based upon their evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Corporation in the reports filed or submitted by it under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Corporation in such reports is accumulated and communicated to the Corporation’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

There was no change in the Corporation’s “internal control over financial reporting” (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2003, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting.

Cautionary Statement


 

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains and incorporates by reference statements relating to future results of the Corporation that are considered “forward-looking statements.” 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: annual occupancy expense; the fair value of guarantee obligations; amounts of contingent and deferred consideration payable for acquisitions; expected amortization expense; the impact on investment management fees of changes in the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index; potential future venture capital losses and possible changes in the value of the portfolio; the potential impact on revenue of the Corporation’s stated intention to reduce credit availability to the corporate and institutional marketplace; effective tax rates; liabilities for guarantees and indemnities; possible losses related to Three Rivers Funding Corp.; loss content of nonperforming loans and credit exposure reserve appropriateness; deposit levels; uses of internal capital generation; intentions as to capital ratios of the Corporation and its banking subsidiaries and maintaining a minimum tangible shareholders’ equity to assets ratio; the Corporation’s liquidity management and interest rate risk management objectives; maturities of debt; simulation of changes in interest rates; the value-at-risk for trading activities; the effects of recent accounting changes; the impact of FASB Interpretation No. 46; and litigation results.

 

These forward-looking statements, and other forward-looking statements contained in other public disclosures of the Corporation which make reference to the cautionary factors contained in this Report, are based on assumptions that involve risks and uncertainties and that are subject to change based on various important factors (some of which are beyond the Corporation’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:

 

Changes in political and economic conditions. Changes in political and economic conditions can affect the Corporation’s opportunities to sell its products and services. If conditions cause customers to become more cautious, the Corporation’s revenues could be adversely affected. Conversely, the Corporation will likely have greater opportunities during periods of economic growth and political optimism. These same factors can similarly affect companies in the Corporation’s venture capital investment portfolio.

 

Changes in the relevant benchmark to measure changes in investment management fees. If an index other than the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index were determined to more accurately reflect the Corporation’s assets under management, a sustained change in that index could result in a different change in investment management fees.

 

Equity and fixed-income market fluctuations. As price levels in the equity and fixed-income markets increase or decrease, the Corporation’s opportunities to sell its products and services, to invest and to manage financial assets may change. Because certain of the Corporation’s fee revenue is based on the value of assets under management or custody, fluctuations in market valuations will affect revenue. Because management fees can vary by asset class, revenues can be affected by the types of assets that at a given time are most attractive to customers.

 

Changes in the mix of assets under management. Because management fees can vary by asset class, revenues can be affected by the types of assets that at a given time are most attractive to customers.

Table of Contents

Cautionary Statement (continued)


 

The effects of the adoption of new accounting standards. The adoption of new accounting standards could affect the Corporation’s income statement, balance sheet, statement of cash flows or statement of changes in shareholders’ equity. New standards could cause reported amounts to increase or decrease or impact the comparability of current and prior period results.

 

Corporate and personal customers’ bankruptcies. An increase in corporate and personal customers’ bankruptcies can require higher credit loss provisions and higher charges against the reserve for credit exposure negatively impacting net income and various capital ratios.

 

Operational risk. Operational risk is the risk of (direct or indirect) loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, people and systems, or from external events. It is the potential for loss that arises from problems with operating processes, human error or omission, breaches in internal controls, fraud or unforeseen catastrophes.

 

Inflation. Inflation, disinflation or deflation can impact a variety of economic measures and market values that are important to the Corporation’s financial performance including interest rates, equity and fixed-income market values, the Corporation’s expense levels and prices for the Corporation’s products and services.

 

Levels of tax-free income. The level of the Corporation’s tax-exempt income can affect the Corporation’s effective tax rate.

 

Technological change. Technology is a very important component of many of the Corporation’s products and services as well as being critically important to the Corporation’s internal operating processes. A faster rate of technological change can require the Corporation to invest more in technology to remain competitive and thus lead to higher expenses. On the other hand, technological change creates the opportunity for product differentiation and higher revenues as well as reduced costs. There is a risk to the Corporation if its competitors are able to use technology to develop more marketable products and/or services at lower prices than the Corporation can offer.

 

Success in the timely development of new products and services. The Corporation operates in a highly competitive environment in all of the markets it serves. The timely development of new products and services can represent a competitive advantage leading to increased revenues while the inability to do so can have the opposite effect.

 

Competitive product and pricing pressures within the Corporation’s markets. Competitive product and pricing pressures can affect the Corporation’s ability to sell its products and services and can impact the prices the Corporation is able to charge. Demand for the Corporation’s products and services, price levels and activities of competitors will affect the Corporation’s revenues.

 

Customer spending and saving habits. The Corporation benefits from the savings of customers that are invested in mutual funds, defined contribution plans and other products offered or serviced by the Corporation. Changes in the rate of savings or preferred investment styles may affect the Corporation’s revenues.

 

 

69


Table of Contents

Cautionary Statement (continued)


 

Interest rate fluctuations. Interest rate fluctuations, the levels of market interest rates, the shape of the yield curve, the direction of interest rate changes and fluctuations in the interest rate spreads between different fixed income investments can affect the Corporation’s cost of funds, its net interest revenue and any other revenue that has a sensitivity to interest rates. Interest rate fluctuations can also impact the demand for different investment products offered by the Corporation. In general, the Corporation attempts to mitigate the effects of either significant increases or decreases in interest rates on its income statement.

 

Monetary fluctuations. Changes in monetary and credit conditions and their effect on the economy and the financial markets may impact the Corporation in a variety of ways.

 

Acquisitions and integrations of acquired businesses. Acquisitions of businesses or lines of business are an active part of the Corporation’s business strategy and use of excess capital. Any acquisition presents execution risk. There can be no assurance that the operational or financial performance of an acquired business will be as expected, that any desired synergies will occur or that an acquired business will be successfully assimilated into the Corporation.

 

Changes in law. The Corporation operates in a highly regulated environment, both within and outside the United States. Many laws and many regulatory agencies, both domestic and foreign, impact its operations. Changes in law could affect the competitive environment in which the Corporation operates, broaden or narrow the scope of permitted activities of it and its competitors, facilitate or retard consolidation, impose higher costs or operating burdens and challenge the Corporation to adapt quickly and effectively to such changes.

 

Changes in fiscal, monetary, regulatory, trade and tax polices and laws. Changes in these policies and laws could affect the products and services the Corporation offers and therefore its revenues as well as impose additional costs and expenses, such as higher taxes. Also, any significant changes will challenge the Corporation to adapt quickly and effectively.

 

Success in gaining regulatory approvals when required. The Corporation operates in a highly regulated environment, both within and outside the United States. If regulatory approval is required for an activity, product, service, acquisition or disposition and approval cannot be obtained on a timely basis, the Corporation could miss the opportunity and the particular benefits it presented.

 

The uncertainties inherent in the litigation process. At any given time, the Corporation is subject to various pending and threatened legal actions and proceedings. The Corporation evaluates the risks of these actions and proceedings within the context of current judicial decisions and legislative and regulatory interpretations. A trier of fact, either a judge or jury, could decide a case contrary to the Corporation’s evaluation of the relevant facts or law, and a court or regulatory agency could act to change existing law on a particular issue.

 

The effects of recent and any further terrorist acts and the results of the war on terrorism. Terrorist acts could have a significant impact on economic activity and could cause the Corporation’s customers not to purchase, or delay purchasing, the Corporation’s products and services. In addition, the Corporation has in place business continuity and disaster recovery plans. Terrorists acts could, however, cause damage to the Corporation’s facilities or could cause delays or disruptions to its operations. The Corporation’s vendors and counterparties could be similarly affected;

as well as other risks and uncertainties detailed elsewhere or incorporated by reference in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. All statements speak only as of the date on which such statements are made, and the Corporation undertakes no obligation to update any statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which such statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

 

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION


 

Item 1.     Legal Proceedings.

 

Various legal actions and proceedings are pending or are threatened against the Corporation and its subsidiaries, some of which seek relief or damages in amounts that are substantial. These actions and proceedings arise in the ordinary course of the Corporation’s businesses and operations and include suits relating to its lending, collections, servicing, investment, mutual fund, advisory, trust, custody, benefits consulting, shareholder services, cash management and other activities and operations. Because of the complex nature of some of these actions and proceedings, it may be a number of years before such matters ultimately are resolved. After consultation with legal counsel, management believes that the aggregate liability, if any, resulting from such pending and threatened actions and proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the Corporation’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

 

Item 2.     Changes in Securities and Use of Proceeds.

 

(c)   On May 19, 2003, the Corporation issued 166,016 shares of common stock to Wachovia Bank, N.A., as Trustee of the Mellon Financial Corporation Deferred Share Award Trust No. 2. In consideration for the issuance of the shares, Wachovia Bank, as Trustee, assumed the obligation of the Corporation under its Long-Term Profit Incentive Plan (1996) to deliver shares to individuals who received Deferred Share Awards under such Plan. The issuance of shares was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 under section 4(2) as a transaction not involving any public offering.

 

Item 4.     Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

 

At the Corporation’s annual meeting of shareholders held on April 15, 2003, for which proxies were solicited pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the following matters were voted upon by shareholders.
