Total revenue was $3.9 billion, an increase of 6%.
-    Investment services fees increased 3% reflecting net new business, largely driven by Global Collateral Services and securities lending, and higher market values, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of a stronger U.S. dollar.
-    Investment management and performance fees increased 1%, or 6% on a constant currency basis (Non-GAAP), driven by higher equity market values, the impact of the Cutwater Asset Management (“Cutwater”) acquisition and strategic initiatives, partially offset by lower performance fees. (a)
-    Foreign exchange revenue increased 67% driven by higher volumes and volatility, as well as higher Depositary Receipts-related activity.
-    Investment and other income decreased $39 million driven by lower lease residual gains.
-    Net interest revenue was unchanged as an increase in deposits drove the growth in our securities portfolio and offset the impact of lower yields.
The provision for credit losses was $2 million.
Noninterest expense was $2.7 billion, a decrease of 1% reflecting lower expenses in all categories, except sub-custodian which is volume-related and other expense which includes the impact of the new EU Single Resolution Fund.
Effective tax rate of 24.4%; includes a 2.0% benefit related to the tax impact of consolidated investment management funds.

Assets under custody and/or administration (“AUC/A”) and Assets under management (“AUM”)
-    AUC/A of $28.5 trillion, increased 2% primarily reflecting higher market values and net new business, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of a stronger U.S. dollar.
--    Estimated new AUC/A wins in Asset Servicing of $131 billion.
-    AUM of a record $1.74 trillion, increased 7% driven by higher equity market values, the Cutwater acquisition and net new business, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of a stronger U.S. dollar.
--    Long-term inflows totaled $16 billion driven by liability-driven, index and fixed income investments.
--    Short-term inflows totaled $1 billion.

Capital
-    Repurchased 10.3 million common shares for $400 million in 1Q15.
-    Return on tangible common equity of 20% in 1Q15 (a).
-    As previously announced, the board approved the repurchase of up to $3.1 billion of common stock over a 5-quarter period. Common stock repurchases of $700 million are contingent on a prior issuance of $1 billion of qualifying preferred stock.
 
 
 
 
 
(a)
See “Supplemental information – Explanation of GAAP and Non-GAAP financial measures” beginning on page 24 for the reconciliation of Non-GAAP measures. Non-GAAP excludes the gains on the sales of our investment in Wing Hang Bank and the One Wall Street building, amortization of intangible assets, M&I, litigation and restructuring charges, a charge (recovery) related to investment management funds, net of incentives, and the benefit primarily related to a tax carryback claim, if applicable.

Asset servicing fees include securities lending revenue of $38 million in 1Q14, $46 million in 2Q14, $37 million in 3Q14, $37 million in 4Q14 and $43 million in 1Q15.
N/M - Not meaningful.


KEY POINTS

Asset servicing fees were $1.0 billion, an increase of 3% year-over-year and 2% sequentially. The year-over-year increase primarily reflects net new business, largely driven by Global Collateral Services and securities lending, and market values. The sequential increase primarily reflects higher client expense reimbursements, securities lending revenue and Global Collateral Services fees. Both increases were partially offset by the unfavorable impact of a stronger U.S. dollar.

Clearing services fees were $344 million, an increase of 6% year-over-year and a decrease of 1% sequentially. The year-over-year increase was primarily driven by higher mutual fund and asset-based fees and higher clearance revenue driven by higher DARTS volume. The sequential decrease was primarily driven by fewer trading days in 1Q15.

Issuer services fees were $232 million, an increase of 1% year-over-year and 20% sequentially. Both increases reflect higher corporate actions in Depositary Receipts, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of a stronger U.S. dollar. The sequential increase also reflects higher Corporate Trust fees.

Treasury services fees were $137 million, an increase of 1% year-over-year and a decrease of 6% sequentially. The sequential decrease primarily reflects seasonally lower payment volumes.

Investment management and performance fees were $854 million, an increase of 1% year-over-year, or 6% on a constant currency basis (Non-GAAP), driven by higher equity market values, the impact of the Cutwater acquisition and strategic initiatives, partially offset by lower performance fees. Sequentially, investment management and performance fees decreased 4% primarily reflecting seasonally lower performance fees, fewer days in 1Q15 and the unfavorable impact of a stronger U.S. dollar, partially offset by the impact of the Cutwater acquisition.

In 1Q15, foreign exchange revenue totaled $217 million, an increase of 67% year-over-year and 32% sequentially. Both increases reflect higher volumes and volatility, as well as higher Depositary Receipts-related activity.

Other trading revenue was $12 million in 1Q15, compared with other trading revenue of $6 million in 1Q14 and other trading loss of $14 million in 4Q14. Both increases primarily reflect higher fixed income trading revenue. The sequential increase also reflects reduced losses on hedging activities within an Investment Management boutique.

KEY POINTS

Net interest revenue totaled $728 million in 1Q15, unchanged compared with 1Q14 and an increase of $16 million sequentially.

-    Year-over-year, the increase in deposits drove the growth in our securities portfolio and offset the impact of lower yields.

-    The sequential increase was primarily driven by a change in the mix of assets, partially offset by fewer days in 1Q15. Lower hedging losses in 1Q15 were primarily offset by lower accretion and higher amortization.

KEY POINTS

Total noninterest expense excluding amortization of intangible assets, M&I, litigation and restructuring charges, and the charge (recovery) related to investment management funds, net of incentives (Non-GAAP) decreased 2% year-over-year and 1% sequentially.

The year-over-year decrease reflects lower expenses in all categories, except sub-custodian which is volume-related and other expense which includes the impact of the new EU Single Resolution Fund. These lower expenses primarily reflect the favorable impact of a stronger U.S. dollar and the benefit of the business improvement process which focuses on reducing structural costs.

Total staff expense decreased 2% year-over-year primarily reflecting the favorable impact of a stronger U.S. dollar, the curtailment gain related to the U.S. pension plan and lower headcount. The decrease was partially offset by higher incentive expense reflecting better performance, a lower adjustment for the finalization of the annual incentive awards and the impact of vesting of long-term stock awards for retirement eligible employees.

INVESTMENT SECURITIES PORTFOLIO

At March 31, 2015, the fair value of our investment securities portfolio totaled $128.9 billion. The net unrealized pre-tax gain on our total securities portfolio was $1.7 billion at March 31, 2015 compared with $1.3 billion at Dec. 31, 2014. The increase in the net unrealized pre-tax gain was primarily driven by a decline in market interest rates. In 1Q15, Agency MBS, sovereign debt and U.S. Treasury securities with an aggregate amortized cost and fair value of $11.6 billion were transferred from available-for-sale securities to held-to-maturity securities. Also in 1Q15, we continued to purchase held-to-maturity securities. At March 31, 2015 and Dec. 31, 2014, the fair value of the held-to-maturity securities totaled $41.7 billion and $21.1 billion, respectively, and represented 32% and 18% of the fair value of the total investment securities portfolio, respectively.

CAPITAL

Our consolidated capital ratios are shown in the following table. In 1Q15, we implemented the Basel III Standardized Approach under the final rules released by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Federal Reserve”) on July 2, 2013 (the “Final Capital Rules”). The Standardized Approach replaced the Basel I-based calculation of risk-weighted assets (“RWA”) with a revised methodology using a broader array of more risk sensitive risk-weighting categories. Our risk-based capital adequacy is determined using the higher of RWA determined using the Standardized Approach and Advanced Approach. The common equity Tier 1 (“CET1”), Tier 1 and Total risk-based regulatory capital ratios in the first section of the table below are based on Basel III components of capital, as phased-in, and credit risk asset risk-weightings using the Advanced Approach framework under the Final Capital Rules as the related RWA were higher under the Advanced Approach at both Dec. 31, 2014 and March 31, 2015. The Advanced Approach ratios were impacted by increases in operational risk RWA. The transitional capital ratios were negatively impacted by the phase-in requirements for 2015. The leverage capital ratios are based on Basel III components of capital and quarterly average total assets, as phased-in.

BNY Mellon has presented its estimated fully phased-in Basel III CET1 and other risk-based capital ratios and SLR based on its interpretation of the Final Capital Rules, which are being gradually phased-in over a multi-year period, as supplemented by the Federal Reserve’s final rules concerning the SLR published on Sept. 3, 2014, and on the application of such rules to BNY Mellon’s businesses as currently conducted. Management views the estimated fully phased-in Basel III CET1 and other risk-based capital ratios and SLR as key measures in monitoring BNY Mellon’s capital position and progress against future regulatory capital standards. Additionally, the presentation of the estimated fully phased-in Basel III CET1 and other risk-based capital ratios and SLR are intended to allow investors to compare these ratios with estimates presented by other companies. The estimated fully phased-in Basel III CET1 and other risk-based capital ratios assume all relevant regulatory approvals. The Final Capital Rules

Page - 14


BNY Mellon 1Q15 Earnings Release


require approval by banking regulators of certain models used as part of risk-weighted asset calculations. If these models are not approved, the estimated fully phased-in Basel III CET1 and other risk-based capital ratios would likely be adversely impacted.

Risk-weighted assets at Dec. 31, 2014 and March 31, 2015 for credit risk under the transitional Advanced Approach do not reflect the use of a simple value-at-risk methodology for repo-style transactions (including agented indemnified securities lending transactions), eligible margin loans, and similar transactions. BNY Mellon has requested written approval to use this methodology.

Our capital and liquidity ratios are necessarily subject to, among other things, BNY Mellon’s further review of applicable rules, anticipated compliance with all necessary enhancements to model calibration, approval by regulators of certain models used as part of risk-weighted asset calculations, other refinements, further implementation guidance from regulators, market practices and standards and any changes BNY Mellon may make to its businesses. Consequently, our capital and liquidity ratios remain subject to ongoing review and revision and may change based on these factors.

(a)
The estimated fully phased-in SLR is based on our interpretation of the Final Capital Rules, as supplemented by the Federal Reserve’s final rules on the SLR. When fully phased-in, we expect to maintain an SLR of over 5%, 3% attributable to the minimum required SLR, and greater than 2% attributable to a buffer applicable to U.S. G-SIBs.
(b)
March 31, 2015 information is preliminary.


Liquidity Coverage Ratio (“LCR”)

The U.S. LCR rules became effective Jan. 1, 2015 and require BNY Mellon to meet an LCR of 80%, increasing annually by 10% increments until fully phased-in on Jan. 1, 2017, at which time we will be required to meet an LCR of 100%. Our estimated LCR on a consolidated basis is compliant with the fully phased-in requirements of the U.S. LCR as of March 31, 2015 based on our current understanding of the U.S. LCR rules.

BNY Mellon 1Q15 Earnings Release


INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT KEY POINTS

Assets under management were a record $1.74 trillion at March 31, 2015, an increase of 7% year-over-year and 2% sequentially. Both increases primarily resulted from higher equity market values, the Cutwater acquisition and net new business, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of a stronger U.S. dollar.

Net long-term inflows were $16 billion in 1Q15 driven by liability-driven, index and fixed income investments. Short-term inflows were $1 billion in 1Q15.

Income before taxes excluding amortization of intangible assets and the charge (recovery) related to investment management funds, net of incentives increased 6% year-over-year and 7% sequentially.

Total revenue was $1.0 billion, an increase of 4% year-over-year and 1% sequentially. The year-over-year increase primarily reflects higher equity market values and seed capital gains, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of a stronger U.S. dollar. The sequential increase primarily reflects higher seed capital gains and reduced trading losses, partially offset by seasonally lower performance fees.

42% non-U.S. revenue in 1Q15 vs. 45% in 1Q14.

Investment management fees were $835 million, an increase of 1% year-over-year, or 7% on a constant currency basis (Non-GAAP), driven by higher equity market values, the impact of the Cutwater acquisition and strategic initiatives. Sequentially, investment management fees decreased slightly reflecting fewer days in 1Q15 and the unfavorable impact of a stronger U.S. dollar, partially offset by the impact of the Cutwater acquisition.

Performance fees were $15 million in 1Q15 compared with $20 million in 1Q14 and $44 million in 4Q14. The sequential decrease was driven by seasonality.

Other revenue was $47 million in 1Q15 compared with $16 million in 1Q14 and $7 million in 4Q14. Both increases primarily reflect higher seed capital gains. The sequential increase also reflects reduced losses on hedging activities within a boutique.

Net interest revenue increased 6% year-over-year and 7% sequentially. Both increases primarily reflect higher loan and deposit levels.

Average loans increased 15% year-over-year and 5% sequentially; average deposits increased 3% year-over-year and 4% sequentially.

Total noninterest expense (excluding amortization of intangible assets and the charge (recovery) related to investment management funds, net of incentives) increased 3% year-over-year and decreased 1% sequentially. The year-over-year increase reflects higher compensation and purchased services expenses resulting from the Cutwater acquisition and investments in strategic initiatives and higher incentive expense. The sequential decrease primarily reflects lower litigation, legal and distribution and servicing expenses, partially offset by higher incentive expense and the impact of the Cutwater acquisition.  Both comparisons reflect the favorable impact of a stronger U.S. dollar.

In 1Q15 the Dreyfus/Standish Global Fixed Income Fund hit the #1 ranking in U.S. News’ World Bond category for long-term investors and has been consistently in the top three since.

The Wealth Management business was named the 2015 top National Private Asset Manager and top Private Bank Offering for Family Offices by the Family Wealth Report.

BNY Mellon 1Q15 Earnings Release


INVESTMENT SERVICES KEY POINTS

Income before taxes excluding amortization of intangible assets totaled $796 million, an increase of 14% year-over-year.

The pre-tax operating margin excluding amortization of intangible assets was 31% in 1Q15 and the investment services fees as a percentage of noninterest expense was 96% in 1Q15, both improving approximately 250 basis points year-over-year.

Investment services fees totaled $1.7 billion, an increase of 3% both year-over-year and sequentially.

Asset servicing fees (global custody, broker-dealer services and global collateral services) were $1.0 billion in 1Q15 compared with $985 million in 1Q14 and $992 million in 4Q14. The year-over-year increase primarily reflects net new business, largely driven by Global Collateral Services and securities lending, and market values. The sequential increase primarily reflects higher client expense reimbursements, securities lending revenue and Global Collateral Services fees. Both increases were partially offset by the unfavorable impact of a stronger U.S. dollar.

--    Estimated new business wins (AUC/A) in Asset Servicing of $131 billion in 1Q15.

Clearing services fees were $342 million in 1Q15 compared with $323 million in 1Q14 and $346 million in 4Q14. The year-over-year increase was primarily driven by higher mutual fund and asset-based fees and higher clearance revenue driven by higher DARTS volume. The sequential decrease primarily reflects fewer trading days in 1Q15.

Issuer services fees (Corporate Trust and Depositary Receipts) were $231 million in 1Q15 compared with $228 million in 1Q14 and $193 million in 4Q14. Both increases reflect higher corporate actions in Depositary Receipts, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of a stronger U.S. dollar. The sequential increase also reflects higher Corporate Trust fees.

Treasury services fees were $135 million in 1Q15 compared with $134 million in 1Q14 and $142 million in 4Q14. The sequential decrease primarily reflects seasonally lower payment volumes.

Foreign exchange and other trading revenue was $209 million in 1Q15 compared with $158 million in 1Q14 and $165 million in 4Q14. Both increases primarily reflect higher volume and volatility, as well as higher Depositary Receipts-related activity.

Net interest revenue was $600 million in 1Q15 compared with $590 million in 1Q14 and $574 million in 4Q14. Both increases primarily reflect higher average loans and deposits. The sequential increase also reflects higher internal crediting rates for deposits.

Noninterest expense (excluding amortization of intangible assets) was $1.80 billion in 1Q15 compared with $1.78 billion in 1Q14 and $2.51 billion in 4Q14. Both comparisons reflect higher incentive expense and the impact of the new EU Single Resolution Fund, partially offset by lower compensation expense and the favorable impact of a stronger U.S. dollar. The sequential decrease primarily reflects lower litigation and professional, legal and other purchased services expenses.

Pershing Advisor Solutions won the Private Banking - Innovation Award at the 2015 Private Asset Management (PAM) awards, hosted by Private Asset magazine.

Anita Borg Institute names BNY Mellon top company for women technologists for achieving the highest overall score of all companies evaluated.

KEY POINTS

Total fee and other revenue decreased $8 million compared with 1Q14 and $13 million compared with 4Q14. The year-over-year decrease primarily reflects lower leasing gains. The sequential decrease primarily reflects lower asset-related gains and net securities gains. Both decreases were partially offset by higher other trading revenue.

Net interest revenue decreased $14 million compared with 1Q14 and $15 million compared with 4Q14. Both decreases reflect higher internal crediting rates to the businesses for deposits.

Noninterest expense (excluding M&I and restructuring charges) decreased $73 million compared with 1Q14 and $90 million compared with 4Q14. The year-over-year decrease primarily reflects the curtailment gain related to the U.S. pension plan, partially offset by higher incentives reflecting better performance, a lower adjustment for the finalization of the annual incentive awards and the impact of vesting of long-term stock awards for retirement eligible employees. The sequential decrease was driven by lower litigation expense and lower pension expense.

BNY Mellon 1Q15 Earnings Release


SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION – EXPLANATION OF GAAP AND NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

BNY Mellon has included in this Earnings Release certain Non-GAAP financial measures based on fully phased-in Basel III CET1 and other risk-based capital ratios, SLR and tangible common shareholders’ equity. BNY Mellon believes that the Basel III CET1 and other risk-based capital ratios on a fully phased-in basis, the SLR on a fully phased-in basis and the ratio of tangible common shareholders’ equity to tangible assets of operations are measures of capital strength that provide additional useful information to investors, supplementing the capital ratios which are, or were, utilized by regulatory authorities. The tangible common shareholders’ equity ratio includes changes in investment securities valuations which are reflected in total shareholders’ equity. In addition, this ratio is expressed as a percentage of the actual book value of assets, as opposed to a percentage of a risk-based reduced value established in accordance with regulatory requirements, although BNY Mellon in its reconciliation has excluded certain assets which are given a zero percent risk-weighting for regulatory purposes and the assets of consolidated investment management funds to which BNY Mellon has limited economic exposure. Further, BNY Mellon believes that the return on tangible common equity measure, which excludes goodwill and intangible assets net of deferred tax liabilities, is a useful additional measure for investors because it presents a measure of those assets that can generate income. BNY Mellon has provided a measure of tangible book value per share, which it believes provides additional useful information as to the level of tangible assets in relation to shares of common stock outstanding.

BNY Mellon has presented revenue measures which exclude the effect of noncontrolling interests related to consolidated investment management funds, a gain on the sale of our investment in Wing Hang Bank and a gain on the sale of the One Wall Street building; and expense measures which exclude M&I expenses, litigation charges, restructuring charges, amortization of intangible assets and the charge (recovery) related to investment management funds, net of incentives. Earnings per share, return on equity measures and operating margin measures, which exclude some or all of these items, are also presented. Earnings per share and return on equity measures also exclude the benefit primarily related to a tax carryback claim. Operating margin measures may also exclude amortization of intangible assets and the net negative impact of money market fee waivers, net of distribution and servicing expense. BNY Mellon believes that these measures are useful to investors because they permit a focus on period-to-period comparisons, which relate to the ability of BNY Mellon to enhance revenues and limit expenses in circumstances where such matters are within BNY Mellon’s control. The excluded items, in general, relate to certain charges as a result of prior transactions. M&I expenses primarily relate to acquisitions and generally continue for approximately three years after the transaction. Litigation charges represent accruals for loss contingencies that are both probable and reasonably estimable, but exclude standard business-related legal fees. Restructuring charges relate to our streamlining actions, Operational Excellence Initiatives and migrating positions to Global Delivery Centers. Excluding these charges mentioned above permits investors to view expenses on a basis consistent with how management views the business.

The presentation of revenue growth on a constant currency basis permits investors to assess the significance of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Growth rates on a constant currency basis were determined by applying the current period foreign currency exchange rates to the prior period revenue. BNY Mellon believes that this presentation, as a supplement to GAAP information, gives investors a clearer picture of the related revenue results without the variability caused by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.

The presentation of income from consolidated investment management funds, net of net income attributable to noncontrolling interests related to the consolidation of certain investment management funds permits investors to view revenue on a basis consistent with how management views the business. BNY Mellon believes that these presentations, as a supplement to GAAP information, give investors a clearer picture of the results of its primary businesses.

In this Earnings Release, the net interest margin is presented on an FTE basis. We believe that this presentation provides comparability of amounts arising from both taxable and tax-exempt sources, and is consistent with industry practice. The adjustment to an FTE basis has no impact on net income. Each of these measures as

Our GAAP earnings include tax-advantaged investments such as low income housing, renewable energy, bank-owned life insurance and tax-exempt securities.

If reported on a tax-equivalent basis these investments would increase revenue and income before taxes by $64 million for 1Q15 and would increase our pre-tax operating margin by approximately 1.2%.
