The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation ("BNY Mellon") (NYSE: BK) today reported third quarter net income applicable to common shareholders of $983 million, or $0.94 per diluted common share. Net income applicable to common shareholders was $974 million, or $0.90 per diluted common share, in the third quarter of 2016, and $926 million, or $0.88 per diluted common share, in the second quarter of 2017.

"Since arriving in July, I have been spending time with clients, regulators, business leaders and employees, listening and learning. Based on what I have seen, I like our business model and what we do. While satisfied with our progress, our leadership team is not satisfied with our performance, as we see further opportunities to drive revenue growth and increase our efficiencies. We will do this while maintaining our strong capital position and continuing to deliver high returns to our shareholders," Charles W. Scharf, chief executive officer, said.

"Our third quarter performance was consistent with our expectation and some areas showed reasonable growth, such as asset servicing, clearing services and investment management. Other areas underperformed, such as depositary receipts, which also reduced foreign exchange trading revenue," Mr. Scharf continued.

"We want to be a consistently high-performing company. Our clients and shareholders expect as much. That will require disciplined management and execution. It will also require continued investment in our core technology platform, heightened focus on achieving platform integration and a reduction in the complexity of our operating environment. Client focus is at the core of our culture, and we have a big opportunity to do a better job delivering all of BNY Mellon to our clients," Mr. Scharf concluded.

THIRD QUARTER 2017 FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS (a)
(comparisons are 3Q17 vs. 3Q16, unless otherwise stated)

Earnings

Total revenue of $4.0 billion, increased 2%.

Investment services fees increased 1% reflecting higher money market fees, higher equity market values and net new business, partially offset by a reduced amount of seasonal Depositary Receipts revenue.
Investment management and performance fees increased 5% due to higher equity market values, money market fees and performance fees.
Foreign exchange revenue decreased 10% reflecting lower volatility and lower Depositary Receipt-related foreign exchange activity offset by higher volumes.
Investment and other income decreased $29 million reflecting lower other income driven by our investments in renewable energy and lower seed capital gains.
Net interest revenue increased 8% driven by higher interest rates, offset by lower average deposits and loans.

The provision for credit losses was a credit of $6 million.
Noninterest expense of $2.7 billion, increased less than 1% reflecting higher software and professional, legal and other purchased services expenses, partially offset by lower litigation expense and bank assessment charges.
Effective tax rate of 25.4% for 3Q17.
Preferred stock dividends of $35 million in 3Q17.

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

Record AUC/A of $32.2 trillion increased 6% reflecting higher market values, the favorable impact of a weaker U.S. dollar and net new business.

Estimated new AUC/A wins in Asset Servicing of $166 billion in 3Q17.

Record AUM of $1.82 trillion increased 6% reflecting higher market values, net inflows and the favorable impact of a weaker U.S. dollar (principally versus the British pound).

Net long-term inflows of fixed income and multi-asset and alternative investments were offset by outflows of index, equity and liability-driven investments in 3Q17.
Net short-term inflows of $10 billion in 3Q17 were a result of increased distribution through our liquidity portals.

Capital and liquidity

Repurchased 12 million common shares for $650 million and paid $253 million in dividends to common shareholders.
Return on common equity of 11%; Adjusted return on tangible common equity of 22% (a).

N/M – Not meaningful.

KEY POINTS

Asset servicing fees increased 4% year-over-year and 2% sequentially. The year-over-year increase primarily reflects higher equity market values and net new business, including growth in collateral management, partially offset by the impact of downsizing the retail UK transfer agency business. The sequential increase was primarily driven by the favorable impact of a weaker U.S. dollar and higher equity market values.
Clearing services fees increased 10% year-over-year and decreased 3% sequentially. The year-over-year increase primarily reflects higher money market fees and growth in long-term mutual fund assets. The sequential decrease primarily reflects lower clearance volumes.
Issuer services fees decreased 15% year-over-year primarily reflecting fewer corporate actions, lost business and lower fees due to a reduction in shares outstanding in certain Depositary Receipts programs, partially offset by higher Corporate Trust revenue. The 20% sequential increase primarily reflects seasonality in Depositary Receipts revenue and higher Corporate Trust revenue.
Treasury services fees increased 3% year-over-year and 1% sequentially, primarily reflecting higher payment volumes, partially offset by higher compensating balance credits provided to clients, which reduce fee revenue and increase net interest revenue.
Investment management and performance fees increased 5% year-over-year and 3% sequentially, primarily reflecting higher equity market values and money market fees. The year-over-year increase also reflects higher performance fees. The sequential increase also reflects the favorable impact of a weaker U.S. dollar. Changes in currency rates had an insignificant impact on the growth rate of investment management and performance fees on a year-over-year basis.

Foreign exchange revenue decreased 10% year-over-year and increased 5% sequentially. Year-over-year, lower volatility and lower Depositary Receipt-related foreign exchange activity were partially offset by higher volumes. The sequential increase reflects higher volumes. The year-over-year increase in other trading revenue primarily reflects higher fixed income trading revenue.

Financing-related fees decreased 7% year-over-year primarily reflecting lower syndication fees. The sequential increase of 2% primarily reflects higher underwriting fees.

(a)

Excludes the gain (loss) on seed capital investments in consolidated investment management funds which are reflected in operations of consolidated investment management funds, net of noncontrolling interests. The gain on seed capital investments in consolidated investment management funds was $7 million in 3Q17, $7 million in 2Q17, $15 million in 1Q17, $1 million in 4Q16 and $8 million in 3Q16.

The year-over-year decrease in investment and other income primarily reflects lower other income driven by our investments in renewable energy and lower seed capital gains. The sequential decrease in investment and other income primarily reflects lease-related gains recorded in 2Q17 and lower income from corporate/bank-owned life insurance.

N/M – Not meaningful.

KEY POINTS

Total noninterest expense increased less than 1% year-over-year and decreased slightly sequentially. Adjusted total noninterest expense, excluding amortization of intangible assets and M&I, litigation and restructuring charges (Non-GAAP), increased 1% year-over-year and increased less than 1% sequentially.
The year-over-year increase primarily reflects higher software and professional, legal and other purchased services expenses, partially offset by lower litigation expense and bank assessment charges.
Sequentially, higher staff expense was offset by lower other, professional, legal and other purchases services, and business development expenses as well as lower bank assessment charges. The increase in staff expense was primarily driven by higher incentives expense reflecting stronger performance and the annual employee merit increase. The decrease in professional, legal and other purchases services was driven by lower consulting expense related to resolution planning.

INVESTMENT SECURITIES PORTFOLIO

At Sept. 30, 2017, the fair value of our investment securities portfolio totaled $119.7 billion. The net unrealized pre-tax gain on our total securities portfolio was $257 million at Sept. 30, 2017 compared with a pre-tax gain of $151 million at June 30, 2017. The increase in the net unrealized pre-tax gain was primarily driven by a decrease in long-term interest rates. At Sept. 30, 2017, the fair value of the held-to-maturity securities totaled $39.9 billion and represented 33% of the fair value of the total investment securities portfolio.

The following table shows the distribution of our investment securities portfolio.

BNY Mellon has presented its estimated fully phased-in CET1 and other risk-based capital ratios and the fully phased-in 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 CET1 and other risk-based capital ratios and fully phased-in 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 CET1 and other risk-based capital ratios and fully phased-in SLR are intended to allow investors to compare these ratios with estimates presented by other companies.

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

The following table presents the SLR on both the transitional and fully phased-in Basel III basis for BNY Mellon and our largest bank subsidiary, The Bank of New York Mellon.

(a)	Preliminary.
(b)	Estimated.
(c)	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 in 2018 as a required minimum ratio, 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. The insured depository institution subsidiaries of the U.S. G-SIBs, including those of BNY Mellon, must maintain a 6% SLR to be considered "well capitalized."

Liquidity Coverage Ratio ("LCR")

The U.S. LCR rules became fully phased-in on Jan. 1, 2017 and require BNY Mellon to meet an LCR of 100%. On a consolidated basis, our average LCR was 119% for 3Q17. High-quality liquid assets ("HQLA"), before haircuts and trapped liquidity, totaled $175 billion at Sept. 30, 2017 and averaged $162 billion for 3Q17.

INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT KEY POINTS

Income before taxes totaled $300 million in 3Q17, an increase of 17% year-over-year and 4% sequentially. Income before taxes, excluding amortization of intangible assets (Non-GAAP), totaled $315 million in 3Q17, an increase of 13% year-over-year and 4% sequentially.

Pre-tax operating margin of 30% in 3Q17 increased 329 bps year-over-year and 75 bps sequentially.
Adjusted pre-tax operating margin (Non-GAAP) of 35% in 3Q17 increased 265 bps year-over-year and 90 bps sequentially.

Total revenue was $1.0 billion, an increase of 4% year-over-year and 1% sequentially, primarily reflecting higher investment management and performance fees.

41% non-U.S. revenue in 3Q17 and 40% in 3Q16.

Investment management fees increased 4% year-over-year and 3% sequentially, primarily reflecting higher equity market values and money market fees. The sequential increase also reflects the favorable impact of a weaker U.S. dollar.

Net long-term inflows of fixed income and multi-asset and alternative investments were offset by outflows of index, equity and liability-driven investments in 3Q17.
Net short-term inflows of $10 billion in 3Q17 were a result of increased distribution through our liquidity portals.

Other revenue declined year-over-year primarily reflecting higher payments to Investment Services related to higher money market fees.
Net interest revenue was unchanged year-over-year and decreased 6% sequentially. The sequential decrease primarily reflects lower average deposits.

Average loans increased 9% year-over-year and 1% sequentially.
Average deposits decreased 21% year-over-year and 17% sequentially.

Total noninterest expense (excluding amortization of intangible assets) increased 1% year-over-year, primarily reflecting higher other and distribution and servicing expenses, partially offset by lower severance expense. The 1% sequential increase primarily reflects higher distribution and servicing expense.

INVESTMENT SERVICES KEY POINTS

Income before taxes totaled $1.09 billion in 3Q17. Income before taxes, excluding amortization of intangible assets (Non-GAAP), totaled $1.13 billion in 3Q17.

The pre-tax operating margin was 37% in 3Q17. The pre-tax operating margin, excluding the provision for credit losses and amortization of intangible assets (Non-GAAP), was 38% in 3Q17.
Investment services fees as a percentage of noninterest expense (excluding amortization of intangible assets) was 103% in 3Q17.

Investment services fees increased 2% year-over-year and 3% sequentially.

Asset servicing fees increased 4% year-over-year and 2% sequentially. The year-over-year increase primarily reflects higher equity market values and net new business, including growth in collateral management, partially offset by the impact of downsizing the retail UK transfer agency business. The sequential increase was primarily driven by the favorable impact of a weaker U.S. dollar and higher equity market values.
Clearing services fees increased 10% year-over-year primarily driven by higher money market fees and growth in long-term mutual fund assets. The 3% sequential decrease primarily reflects lower clearance volumes.
Issuer services fees decreased 14% year-over-year and increased 20% sequentially. The year-over-year decrease primarily reflects fewer corporate actions, lost business and lower fees due to a reduction in shares outstanding in certain Depositary Receipts programs, partially offset by higher Corporate Trust revenue. The sequential increase primarily reflects seasonality in Depositary Receipts revenue and higher Corporate Trust revenue.
Treasury services fees increased 4% year-over-year and 1% sequentially, primarily reflecting higher payment volumes, partially offset by higher compensating balance credits provided to clients, which reduce fee revenue and increase net interest revenue.

Foreign exchange and other trading revenue decreased 13% year-over-year and increased 6% sequentially. Year-over year, lower volatility and lower Depositary Receipt-related foreign exchange activity were partially offset by higher volumes. The sequential increase reflects higher volumes.
Other revenue decreased 4% year-over-year and increased 4% sequentially. The year-over-year results include termination fees related to the clearing services business recorded in 3Q16. Both comparisons reflect higher payments from Investment Management related to higher money market fees.
Net interest revenue increased 9% year-over-year primarily reflecting the impact of the higher interest rates, partially offset by lower deposits and loans. The 2% sequential increase primarily reflects higher rates.
Noninterest expense (excluding amortization of intangible assets) increased 1% year-over-year, primarily reflecting additional technology related-costs, partially offset by lower staff expense. The 3% sequential decrease primarily reflects lower consulting expense, volume-related clearing and sub-custodian expenses and lower business development.

OTHER SEGMENT primarily includes leasing operations, certain corporate treasury activities, derivatives, global markets, business exits and other corporate revenue and expense items.

KEY POINTS

Total fee and other revenue decreased $31 million compared with 3Q16 and $44 million compared with 2Q17. The year-over-year decrease primarily reflects lower other income, driven by our investments in renewable energy, and lower asset-related and net securities gains. The sequential decrease primarily reflects lease-related gains recorded in 2Q17 and lower income from corporate/bank-owned life insurance, partially offset by higher net securities gains.
Net interest revenue increased $3 million compared with 3Q16 and $2 million compared with 2Q17, primarily reflecting higher interest rates.
Noninterest expense (excluding M&I and restructuring charges) decreased $11 million compared with 3Q16 and increased $49 million compared with 2Q17. The year-over-year decrease was primarily driven by lower litigation and other expenses. The sequential increase was primarily driven by higher staff expense resulting from a methodology change in 2Q17 for allocating employee benefits expense to the business segments with no impact to consolidated results. The sequential increase was partially offset by lower other and professional, legal and other purchased services expenses.

Beginning in 3Q17, vested stock awards to retirement eligible employees are included in common shares outstanding for earnings per share purposes. This change increased both average basic and average diluted shares outstanding by approximately 6 million and reduced earnings allocated to participating securities by $6 million for the quarter, which resulted in a de minimis impact to both basic and diluted earnings per share.

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 estimated fully phased-in CET1 and other risk-based capital ratios, the estimated fully phased-in SLR and tangible common shareholders' equity. BNY Mellon believes that the CET1 and other risk-based capital ratios, on a fully phased-in basis, and the SLR, on a fully phased-in basis, 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, which excludes goodwill and intangible assets, net of deferred tax liabilities, 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. BNY Mellon believes that the return on tangible common equity measure is an additional useful 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, and expense measures, which exclude amortization of intangible assets and M&I, litigation and restructuring charges.

Operating margin, operating leverage and return on equity measures, which exclude some or all of these items, as well as the recovery related to Sentinel, are also presented. Operating margin measures may also exclude the provision for credit losses and 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. 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 and Operational Excellence Initiatives. Excluding the charges mentioned above permits investors to view expenses on a basis consistent with how management views the business.

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.

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.

The following table presents the reconciliation of the pre-tax operating margin ratio.
