Hassell, chairman and chief executive officer of BNY Mellon, said.

"Our business improvement process designed to leverage our scale and expertise is succeeding in enhancing service quality, improving productivity, and driving sustainable improvements in our profitability.  We are focused on deepening our client relationships through delivery of a superior client experience while maintaining our pricing discipline when competing in the marketplace.  This quarter, we completed the move to our new corporate headquarters, ahead of schedule, creating an open environment that supports innovation and collaboration," Mr. Hassell added.

"We returned more than $875 million to our shareholders in the form of share repurchases and dividends during the quarter while achieving a 21 percent return on tangible common equity," Mr. Hassell concluded.

  • Total revenue was $3.8 billion, a decrease of 18%, or an increase of 1% (Non-GAAP), excluding the impact of 3Q14 gains on the sales of our equity investment in Wing Hang and the One Wall Street building.
    • Investment services fees increased 2% reflecting net new business and organic growth, primarily in Global Collateral Services, Broker-Dealer Services and Asset Servicing, and higher clearing services revenue, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of a stronger U.S. dollar.
    • Investment management and performance fees decreased 6%, or 2% on a constant currency basis (Non-GAAP), driven by lower performance fees, lower equity market values, net outflows and the sale of Meriten Investment Management GmbH ("Meriten"), partially offset by the impact of the 1Q15 acquisition of Cutwater Asset Management ("Cutwater") and strategic initiatives. (a)
    • Foreign exchange revenue increased 17% driven by higher volatility and volumes.
    • Financing-related fees increased $27 million driven by higher fees related to secured intraday credit provided to dealers in connection with their tri-party repo activity and higher underwriting fees.
    • Investment and other income decreased $831 million driven by the gains on the sales of our equity investment in Wing Hang and our One Wall Street building, both recorded in 3Q14.
    • Net interest revenue increased $38 million driven by higher securities and loans due to higher deposits and a shift out of cash, and lower interest expense incurred on deposits.
  • Noninterest expense was $2.7 billion, a decrease of 10%, or 3% (Non-GAAP) excluding litigation and restructuring charges.  Noninterest expense was lower in nearly all categories, reflecting the favorable impact of a stronger U.S. dollar and the benefit of the business improvement process which focuses on reducing structural costs.
  • Generated more than 370 basis points of positive operating leverage year-over-year on an adjusted basis.
  • Effective tax rate of 25.4%.
           
  • Assets under custody and/or administration ("AUC/A") and Assets under management ("AUM")
    • AUC/A of $28.5 trillion, increased 1% reflecting net new business, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of a stronger U.S. dollar and lower equity market values.
      • Estimated new AUC/A wins in Asset Servicing of $84 billion in 3Q15.
    • AUM of $1.63 trillion, flat reflecting higher market values, the Cutwater acquisition and net new business offset by the unfavorable impact of a stronger U.S. dollar.
      • Net long-term outflows totaled $5 billion in 3Q15 driven by index, equity and fixed income investments, partially offset by liability-driven and alternative investments.
      • Net short-term outflows totaled $10 billion in 3Q15.
               
  • Capital
    • Repurchased 15.8 million common shares for $690 million in 3Q15.
    • Return on tangible common equity of 21% in 3Q15 (a).

(a)

See "Supplemental information – Explanation of GAAP and Non-GAAP financial measures" beginning on page 25 for the reconciliation of Non-GAAP measures.  Non-GAAP excludes the gains on the sales of our investment in Wing Hang and the One Wall Street building, net income attributable to noncontrolling interests of consolidated investment management funds, amortization of intangible assets, M&I, litigation and restructuring charges, and the benefit primarily related to a tax carryback claim, if applicable.

Note: In the table above and throughout this document, sequential growth rates are unannualized.

Asset servicing fees include securities lending revenue of $38 million in 3Q15, $49 million in 2Q15, $43 million in 1Q15 and $37 million
in both 4Q14 and 3Q14.

N/M - Not meaningful.

KEY POINTS

  • Asset servicing fees were $1.1 billion, an increase of 3% year-over-year and flat sequentially.  The year-over-year increase primarily reflects organic growth in the Global Collateral Services, Broker-Dealer Services and Asset Servicing businesses, and net new business, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of a stronger U.S. dollar.  Sequentially, organic growth and net new business were offset by lower securities lending revenue and lower market values.
  • Clearing services fees were $345 million, an increase of 2% 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.
  • Issuer services fees were $313 million, a decrease of 1% year-over-year and an increase of 34% sequentially.  The year-over-year decrease primarily reflects lower fees in Depositary Receipts and the unfavorable impact of a stronger U.S. dollar in Corporate Trust, partially offset by net new business in Corporate Trust.  The sequential increase primarily reflects seasonally higher fees in Depositary Receipts.
  • Treasury services fees were $137 million, a decrease of 4% year-over-year and 5% sequentially.  Both decreases primarily reflect lower payment volumes.
  • Investment management and performance fees were $829 million, a decrease of 6% both year-over-year and sequentially.  On a constant currency basis (Non-GAAP), investment management and performance fees decreased 2% year-over-year, primarily driven by lower performance fees, lower equity market values and net outflows, partially offset by the impact of the 1Q15 acquisition of Cutwater and strategic initiatives.  Sequentially, investment management and performance fees decreased 6% primarily reflecting lower equity market values, net outflows and seasonally lower performance fees.  Both decreases also reflect the sale of Meriten in July 2015.

Foreign exchange and other trading revenue totaled $179 million in 3Q15 compared with $153 million in 3Q14 and $187 million in 2Q15.  In 3Q15, foreign exchange revenue totaled $180 million, an increase of 17% year-over-year and a decrease of 1% sequentially.  The year-over-year increase primarily reflects higher volatility and volumes.

  • Financing-related fees were $71 million in 3Q15 compared with $44 million in 3Q14 and $58 million in 2Q15.  The year-over-year increase primarily reflects higher fees related to secured intraday credit provided to dealers in connection with their tri-party repo activity.  Both increases also reflect higher underwriting fees.

Investment and other income was $59 million in 3Q15 compared with $890 million in 3Q14 and $104 million in 2Q15.  The year-over-year decrease primarily reflects the gains on the sales of our equity investment in Wing Hang and our One Wall Street building, both recorded in 3Q14.  The sequential decrease primarily reflects lower leasing gains.

KEY POINTS

  • Net interest revenue totaled $759 million in 3Q15, an increase of $38 million compared with 3Q14 and a decrease of $20 million sequentially.  The year-over-year increase primarily reflects higher securities and loans due to higher deposits and a shift out of cash, and lower interest expense on deposits.  The sequential decrease primarily reflects lower average securities and the impact of interest rate hedging activities.

KEY POINTS

  • Total noninterest expense excluding amortization of intangible assets and M&I, litigation and restructuring charges (Non-GAAP) decreased 3% year-over-year and was unchanged sequentially. 
  • The year-over-year decrease reflects lower expenses in all categories, except other expense.  The lower expenses primarily reflect the favorable impact of a stronger U.S. dollar, lower legal and consulting expenses and the benefit of the business improvement process which focuses on reducing structural costs.  The decrease was partially offset by higher consulting expenses associated with regulatory requirements.
    • Total staff expense decreased 3% year-over-year primarily reflecting the favorable impact of a stronger U.S. dollar, the impact of curtailing the U.S. pension plan and lower incentive expense, partially offset by the annual employee merit increase and higher severance expense.
  • Sequentially, the annual employee merit increase and higher severance and other expenses were offset by lower incentive, business development and sub-custodian expenses.

INVESTMENT SECURITIES PORTFOLIO

At Sept. 30, 2015, the fair value of our investment securities portfolio totaled $120 billion.  The net unrealized pre-tax gain on our total securities portfolio was $1.05 billion at Sept. 30, 2015 compared with $752 million at June 30, 2015.  The increase in the net unrealized pre-tax gain was primarily driven by a decline in interest rates.  At Sept. 30, 2015, the fair value of the held-to-maturity securities totaled $43.8 billion and represented 36% of the fair value of the total investment securities portfolio.

Loans of consolidated investment management funds are not part of BNY Mellon's loan portfolio.  Included in the loans of consolidated investment management funds are nonperforming loans of $79 million at Sept. 30, 2014.  These loans are recorded at fair value and therefore do not impact the provision for credit losses and allowance for loan losses, and accordingly are excluded from the nonperforming assets table above.  In 2Q15, BNY Mellon adopted the new accounting guidance included in ASU 2015-02, Consolidations.  As a result, we deconsolidated substantially all of the loans of consolidated investment management funds retroactively to Jan. 1, 2015.

Nonperforming assets were $123 million at Sept. 30, 2015, a decrease of $4 million compared with $127 million at June 30, 2015, primarily in the other residential mortgage portfolio.

CAPITAL AND LIQUIDITY

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 U.S. capital rules' advanced approaches framework (the "Advanced Approach") as the related risk-weighted assets ("RWA") were higher when calculated under the Advanced Approach at Sept. 30, 2015, June 30, 2015 and Dec. 31, 2014.  Our risk-based capital adequacy is determined using the higher of RWA determined using the Advanced Approach and the U.S. capital rules' standardized approach (the "Standardized Approach").  The leverage capital ratios are based on Basel III components of capital, as phased-in and quarterly average total assets.  Our consolidated capital ratios are shown in the following table.

Reflects transitional adjustments to CET1, Tier 1 capital and Tier 2 capital required in 2015 under the U.S. capital rules.

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 U.S. capital rules, which are being gradually phased-in over a multi-year period, 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 certain regulatory approvals.  The U.S. capital rules require approval by banking regulators of certain models used as part of RWA 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.

RWA at June 30, 2015 and Dec. 31, 2014 for credit risk under the estimated fully phased-in Advanced Approach reflects 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.  The estimated fully phased-in Advanced Approach RWA at Sept. 30, 2015 no longer assumes the use of 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 RWA 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.

Supplementary Leverage Ratio ("SLR")

(a)

The estimated fully phased-in SLR (Non-GAAP) is based on our interpretation of the U.S. capital rules.  When the SLR is fully phased-in,
we expect to maintain an SLR of over 5%.  The minimum required SLR is 3% and there is a 2% buffer, in addition to the minimum, that is
applicable to U.S. G-SIBs. 

(b)

Sept. 30, 2015 information is preliminary.

(c)

The estimated SLR on a fully phased-in basis (Non-GAAP) for our largest bank subsidiary, The Bank of New York Mellon, was 4.6% at
Sept. 30, 2015.

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 Sept. 30, 2015 based on our current understanding of the U.S. LCR rules.

REVIEW OF BUSINESSES

Segment results are subject to reclassification whenever improvements are made in the measurement principles or when organizational changes are made.  On July 31, 2015, BNY Mellon completed the sale of Meriten Investment Management GmbH ("Meriten"), a German-based investment management boutique.  In the third quarter of 2015, we reclassified the results of Meriten from the Investment Management business to the Other segment.  The reclassifications did not impact the consolidated results.  All prior periods have been restated.

INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT KEY POINTS

  • Assets under management were $1.63 trillion at Sept. 30, 2015, unchanged year-over-year and a decrease of 4% sequentially. Year-over-year, higher market values, the Cutwater acquisition and net new business offset the unfavorable impact of a stronger U.S. dollar. The sequential decrease primarily resulted from lower equity market values.
    • Net long-term outflows were $5 billion in 3Q15 driven by index, equity and fixed income investments, partially offset by liability-driven and alternative investments.
    • Net short-term outflows were $10 billion in 3Q15.
  • Income before taxes excluding amortization of intangible assets decreased 5% year-over-year and 9% on a sequential basis.
  • Total revenue was $929 million, a decrease of 6% both year-over-year and sequentially. The year-over-year decrease primarily reflects the unfavorable impact of a stronger U.S. dollar. Both decreases also reflect seed capital losses, lower equity market values and net outflows, partially offset by higher net interest revenue.
    • 42% non-U.S. revenue in 3Q15 vs. 43% in 3Q14.
  • Investment management fees were $804 million, a decrease of 5% year-over-year, or flat on a constant currency basis (Non-GAAP). On a constant currency basis (Non-GAAP), investment management fees reflect the impact of the 1Q15 acquisition of Cutwater and strategic initiatives, offset by lower equity market values and net outflows. Sequentially, investment management fees decreased 4% primarily reflecting lower equity market values and net outflows.
  • Performance fees were $7 million in 3Q15 compared with $22 million in 3Q14 and $20 million in 2Q15.
  • Other losses were $2 million in 3Q15 compared with other revenue of $15 million in 3Q14 and other revenue of $20 million in 2Q15. Both decreases primarily reflect seed capital losses.
  • Net interest revenue increased 20% year-over-year and 6% sequentially. Both increases primarily reflect higher internal crediting rates for deposits and record high average loans and deposits.
    • Average loans increased 19% year-over-year and 4% sequentially; average deposits increased 11% year-over-year and 4% sequentially.
  • Total noninterest expense (excluding amortization of intangible assets) decreased 7% year-over-year and 5% sequentially. The year-over-year decrease primarily reflects the favorable impact of a stronger U.S. dollar, lower incentives and distribution and servicing expenses and the business improvement process, partially offset by strategic initiatives. The sequential decrease primarily reflects lower incentives.

INVESTMENT SERVICES KEY POINTS


  • Income (loss) before taxes excluding amortization of intangible assets totaled $893 million, an increase of 18% year-over-year and 9% sequentially.
    • The pre-tax operating margin excluding amortization of intangible assets was 33% in 3Q15 and the investment services fees as a percentage of noninterest expense was 101% in 3Q15, reflecting the continued focus on driving operating leverage.
  • Investment services fees totaled $1.8 billion, an increase of 2% year-over-year and 4% sequentially.
    • Asset servicing fees (global custody, broker-dealer services and global collateral services) were $1.03 billion in 3Q15 compared with $998 million in 3Q14 and $1.04 billion in 2Q15. The year-over-year increase primarily reflects organic growth in the Global Collateral Services, Broker-Dealer Services and Asset Servicing businesses, and net new business, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of a stronger U.S. dollar. Sequentially, organic growth and net new business were offset by lower securities lending revenue and lower market values.
      • Estimated new business wins (AUC/A) in Asset Servicing of $84 billion in 3Q15.
    • Clearing services fees were $345 million in 3Q15 compared with $336 million in 3Q14 and $346 million in 2Q15. The year-over-year increase was primarily driven by higher mutual fund and asset-based fees.
    • Issuer services fees (Corporate Trust and Depositary Receipts) were $312 million in 3Q15 compared with $314 million in 3Q14 and $234 million in 2Q15. The year-over-year decrease primarily reflects lower fees in Depositary Receipts and the unfavorable impact of a stronger U.S. dollar in Corporate Trust, partially offset by net new business in Corporate Trust. The sequential increase primarily reflects seasonally higher fees in Depositary Receipts.
    • Treasury services fees were $135 million in 3Q15 compared with $139 million in 3Q14 and $141 million in 2Q15. Both decreases primarily reflect lower payment volumes.
  • Foreign exchange and other trading revenue was $177 million in 3Q15 compared with $159 million in 3Q14 and $179 million in 2Q15. The year-over-year increase primarily reflects higher volatility and volumes.
  • Net interest revenue was $628 million in 3Q15 compared with $583 million in 3Q14 and $636 million in 2Q15. The year-over-year increase primarily reflects higher average deposits and higher internal crediting rates for deposits. The sequential decrease primarily reflects lower average deposits.
  • Noninterest expense (excluding amortization of intangible assets) was $1.82 billion in 3Q15 compared with $1.83 billion in 3Q14 and $1.84 billion in 2Q15. The year-over-year decrease primarily reflects lower litigation and consulting expenses, as well as the favorable impact of a stronger U.S. dollar, partially offset by higher staff expense. The sequential decrease primarily reflects lower litigation expense, partially offset by higher staff expense.

OTHER SEGMENT primarily includes credit-related activities, leasing operations, corporate treasury activities, global markets and institutional banking services, business exits, M&I expenses and other corporate revenue and expense items.

KEY POINTS

  • Total fee and other revenue decreased $839 million compared with 3Q14 and $34 million compared with 2Q15. The year-over-year decrease primarily reflects the gains on the sales of our equity investment in Wing Hang and our One Wall Street building, both recorded in 3Q14. The sequential decrease primarily reflects lower leasing gains.
  • Net interest revenue decreased $21 million compared with 3Q14 and $17 million compared with 2Q15. Both decreases reflect higher internal crediting rates to the businesses for deposits.
  • Noninterest expense, excluding amortization of intangible assets, M&I and restructuring charges (recoveries), decreased $165 million compared with 3Q14 and increased $15 million compared with 2Q15. The year-over-year decrease primarily reflects lower litigation expense and the impact of curtailing the U.S. pension plan. The sequential increase was primarily driven by the annual employee merit increase and higher severance.

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, required 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 common 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 and a gain on the sale of the One Wall Street building; and expense measures which exclude M&I expenses, litigation charges, restructuring charges and amortization of intangible assets.  Earnings per share, return on equity measures and operating margin measures, which exclude some or all of these items, are also presented.  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 described above is used by management to monitor financial performance, both on a company-wide and on a business-level basis.

(b)

Income before taxes divided by total revenue.

(c)

Our GAAP earnings include tax-advantaged investments such as low income housing, renewable energy, bank-owned life insurance and
tax-exempt securities.  The benefits of these investments are primarily reflected in tax expense.  If reported on a tax-equivalent basis
these investments would increase revenue and income before taxes by $53 million for 3Q15, $52 million for 2Q15 and $64 million for
1Q15 and would increase our pre-tax operating margin by approximately 1.0% for 3Q15, 0.9% for 2Q15 and 1.2% for 1Q15.
