Third Quarter Results


CEO Commentary




Total revenue of $4.1 billion, increased 1%

  • Fee revenue increased 1%
  • Net interest revenue increased 6%

"Our results this quarter were mixed.  While we continued
to benefit from a reduction in our tax rate related to the new
tax law in the U.S. and from strong capital returns, our
revenue growth was modest.  We did see reasonable growth
in some of our businesses and remain confident that we can
increase the rate of growth in the others," Charles W. Scharf,
chairman and chief executive officer, said.

 

"We are moving with a sense of urgency to improve our
growth trajectory.  Bringing in new talent to complement
the great expertise we already have is critical.  Since the
end of the second quarter, we have added a number of
experienced senior leaders to our executive team, including
a new CEO of Wealth Management, CEO of Treasury
Services, Head of Digital, Head of Strategy, Head of Asset
Servicing for the Americas, Chief Technology Officer,
Wealth Management Technology Lead and Chief
Marketing Officer," Mr. Scharf continued.

 

"Knowing it will take time to increase our organic revenue
growth, we remain keenly focused on expenses and
continue to believe there are meaningful opportunities to
become more efficient in both the short and the long term,
which will help fund investments to improve the quality of
our work and build additional capabilities for our clients,"
Mr. Scharf concluded.

Total noninterest expense of $2.7 billion, increased 3%

  • Continued investments in technology were partially
    offset by decreases in other expenses
  • Litigation increased expenses 2%; $(0.05) per common
    share

Income tax

  • Lower tax rate due to adjusted estimates for U.S. tax legislation and other changes; $0.05 per common share


Investment Services

  • Total revenue increased 3%
  • Income before taxes decreased 6%, driven by litigation expense
  • AUC/A of $34.5 trillion, up 7%

Investment Management

  • Total revenue increased 2%
  • Income before taxes increased 5%
  • AUM of $1.8 trillion

Returned $895 million to common shareholders

  • Repurchased 12 million common shares for $602 million
  • Paid $283 million in dividends to common shareholders

KEY DRIVERS (comparisons are 3Q18 vs. 3Q17, unless otherwise stated)

  • Total revenue increased 1% primarily reflecting:
    • Fee revenue increased 1% primarily reflecting higher equity market values, growth in collateral management and clearance volumes and higher performance fees, partially offset by lower foreign currency hedging.
    • Net interest revenue increased 6% primarily driven by higher rates, partially offset by lower deposits and other borrowings.
  • Noninterest expense increased 3% primarily reflecting investments in technology and higher litigation expense, partially offset by lower staff and distribution and servicing expenses.  Litigation increased noninterest expense by 2%.
  • Effective tax rate of 16.5%.  The impact of adjusting provisional estimates for U.S. tax legislation and other changes decreased the effective rate by approximately 4.5%.

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

  • AUC/A of $34.5 trillion, up 7%, primarily reflecting net new business and higher equity market values, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of a stronger U.S. dollar.
  • AUM of $1.8 trillion increased slightly, primarily reflecting higher market values, partially offset by the divestiture of CenterSquare Investment Management ("CenterSquare") and other changes and the unfavorable impact of a stronger U.S. dollar (principally versus the British pound).

Capital and liquidity

  • Repurchased 12 million common shares for $602 million and paid $283 million in dividends to common shareholders.
  • Return on common equity ("ROE") of 11%; Return on tangible common equity ("ROTCE") of 23% (b).
  • Common Equity Tier 1 ("CET1") ratio – 11.2%.
  • Supplementary leverage ratio ("SLR") – 6.4%.
  • Average liquidity coverage ratio ("LCR") – 121%.

KEY DRIVERS

  • Fee revenue decreased year-over-year and sequentially primarily reflecting our investments in renewable energy, including the impact of adjusting the provisional tax estimates (offset in income tax and de minimis to net income), and foreign currency hedging. 
  • Net interest expense decreased year-over-year and sequentially primarily resulting from corporate treasury activity.
  • Noninterest expense decreased year-over-year and sequentially primarily reflecting lower staff expense.  The sequential decrease also reflects the expenses associated with the consolidation of our real estate recorded in 2Q18.  We expect to record the remaining expense related to relocating our corporate headquarters in 4Q18.

(a)   Regulatory capital ratios for Sept. 30, 2018 are preliminary.  For our CET1, Tier 1 capital and Total capital ratios, our effective capital ratios under the U.S. capital rules are the lower of the ratios as calculated under the Standardized and Advanced Approaches, which for the periods noted above was the Advanced Approaches.

(b)   Regulatory capital ratios for Dec. 31, 2017 are presented on a fully phased-in basis.  On a transitional basis at Dec. 31, 2017, the CET1 ratio was 10.7%, the Tier 1 capital ratio was 12.7%, the Total capital ratio was 13.4%, the Tier 1 leverage ratio was 6.6% and the SLR was 6.1%.

(c)    Tangible book value per common shareNon-GAAP excludes goodwill and intangible assets, net of deferred tax liabilities.  See "Supplemental information – Explanation of GAAP and Non-GAAP financial measures" beginning on page 11 for the reconciliation of this Non-GAAP measure.

 

KEY POINTS

  • CET1 capital totaled $18.5 billion at Sept. 30, 2018, an increase of $133 million compared with June 30, 2018.  The increase primarily reflects capital generated through earnings, partially offset by capital deployed through common stock repurchases and dividend payments.

(a)   Net interest revenue (FTE) – Non-GAAP and net interest margin (FTE) – Non-GAAP include the tax equivalent adjustments on tax-exempt income which allows for comparisons 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.

(b)   Includes the impact of offsetting under enforceable netting agreements.

(c)    Yields/rates include the impact of interest rate hedging activities.

bps – basis points.


 

KEY DRIVERS

  • Net interest revenue increased year-over-year primarily reflecting higher interest rates, partially offset by lower deposits and other borrowings.  The sequential decrease was primarily driven by lower deposits and other borrowings, partially offset by higher interest rates.

  • Total noninterest expense increased year-over-year primarily reflecting investments in technology and higher litigation expense, partially offset by lower staff and distribution and servicing expenses.  The investments in technology are included in staff, professional, legal and other purchased services and software and equipment expenses. 
  • The sequential decrease in total noninterest expense primarily reflects lower net occupancy, staff and business development expenses, partially offset by higher litigation expense.  The decrease in net occupancy expense is primarily due to expenses associated with the continued consolidation of our real estate recorded in 2Q18.
  • The total cost of relocating our corporate headquarters is estimated to be $75 million, of which $12 million was recorded in 2Q18.  We expect to record the remaining expense in 4Q18.

(a)   In 1Q18, we adopted new accounting guidance included in Accounting Standards Update 2017-07, Compensation-Retirement Benefits: Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost, which required the reclassification of the components of pension and other postretirement costs, other than the service cost component.  As a result, staff expense increased and other expense decreased.  Prior periods have been reclassified.

(b)   Beginning in 1Q18, clearing expense, which was previously included in other expense, was included with sub-custodian expense.  Prior periods have been reclassified.

(c)    Beginning in 1Q18, M&I, litigation and restructuring charges are no longer separately disclosed.  Expenses previously reported in this line have been reclassified to existing expense categories, primarily other expense.

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

BNY Mellon has included in this Earnings Release certain Non-GAAP financial measures on a tangible basis, as a supplement to GAAP information.  Tangible common shareholders' equity excludes goodwill and intangible assets, net of deferred tax liabilities.  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 the operating margin for the Investment Management business net of distribution and servicing expense that was passed to third parties who distribute or service our managed funds.  BNY Mellon believes that this measure is useful when evaluating the performance of the Investment Management business relative to industry competitors.

The following table presents the reconciliation of the return on common equity and tangible common equity.
