The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation ("BNY Mellon") (NYSE: BK) today reported first quarter net income applicable to common shareholders of $661 million, or $0.57 per diluted common share. In the first quarter of 2013, the company reported a net loss applicable to common shareholders of $266 million, or $0.23 per diluted common share. Excluding the charge related to the U.S. Tax Court's disallowance of certain foreign tax credits of $854 million, or $0.73 per diluted common share, net income applicable to common shareholders totaled $588 million, or $0.50 per diluted common share, in the first quarter of 2013. Net income applicable to common shareholders was $513 million, or $0.44 per diluted common share, in the fourth quarter of 2013. Excluding the after-tax loss of $115 million, or $0.10 per diluted common share, related to an equity investment, net income applicable to common shareholders totaled $628 million, or $0.54 per diluted common share, in the fourth quarter of 2013. (a)

"Investment Management and Investment Services fees increased 3 percent and we managed our expenses well, resulting in pretax earnings growth of 12 percent year over year. Our performance benefited from strength in Clearing Services, the eighteenth consecutive quarter of positive long-term inflows in Investment Management and the growing contribution from our Global Collateral Services and electronic foreign exchange initiatives," said Gerald L. Hassell, chairman and chief executive officer of BNY Mellon.

"The earnings power and strength of our business model allowed us to announce a capital plan that includes share repurchases of up to $1.74 billion, an increase of nearly 30 percent from the prior year's board authorization, and a 13 percent increase in the quarterly dividend," added Mr. Hassell.

"The management team is focused on actively realigning the business model for the new regulatory environment, controlling expenses and generating strong returns on tangible common equity," Mr. Hassell concluded.

Assets under custody and/or administration ("AUC/A") amounted to $27.9 trillion at March 31, 2014, an increase of 6% compared with the prior year and 1% sequentially. Both increases were primarily driven by higher market values. The sequential increase also reflects net new business. Assets under management ("AUM") amounted to a record $1.62 trillion at March 31, 2014, an increase of 14% compared with the prior year and 2% sequentially. Both increases resulted from higher market values and net new business. Long-term inflows totaled $21 billion driven by the continued strong flows of liability-driven investments. Short-term outflows totaled $7 billion for the first quarter of 2014.

Investment services fees totaled $1.7 billion, an increase of 3% year-over-year and 1% sequentially. The year-over-year increase primarily reflects higher asset servicing fees driven by higher market values, net new business and organic growth, as well as higher clearing services and Depositary Receipts revenue. The sequential increase reflects higher asset servicing fees primarily driven by organic growth, higher securities lending revenue and net new business. Both increases were partially offset by the impact of the continued net run-off of high margin securitizations in Corporate Trust and higher money market fee waivers.

Investment management and performance fees were $843 million, an increase of 3% year-over-year and a decrease of 7% sequentially. The year-over-year increase primarily reflects higher equity market values, net new business and higher performance fees, partially offset by higher money market fee waivers. The sequential decrease primarily reflects seasonally lower performance fees and fewer days in the first quarter of 2014.

Foreign exchange and other trading revenue totaled $136 million compared with $161 million in the first quarter of 2013 and $146 million in the fourth quarter of 2013. In the first quarter of 2014, foreign exchange revenue totaled $130 million, a decrease of 13% year-over-year and an increase of 3% sequentially. Comparisons with both prior periods were impacted by lower volatility, and higher volumes driven by enhancements to our electronic foreign exchange platform. Other trading revenue was $6 million in the first quarter of 2014 compared with $12 million in the first quarter of 2013 and $20 million in the fourth quarter of 2013. The decrease from both prior periods reflects lower fixed income trading revenue.

Investment and other income was $102 million in the first quarter of 2014 compared with income of $88 million in the first quarter of 2013 and a loss of $43 million in the fourth quarter of 2013. The year-over-year increase primarily reflects higher leasing gains, partially offset by lower equity investment revenue. The sequential increase primarily reflects a loss related to an equity investment recorded in the fourth quarter of 2013.

Net interest revenue and the net interest margin (FTE) were $728 million and 1.05% in the first quarter of 2014 compared with $719 million and 1.11% in the first quarter of 2013 and $761 million and 1.09% in the fourth quarter of 2013. The year-over-year increase in net interest revenue resulted from a change in the asset mix and higher average deposits, partially offset by lower yields on investment securities. The sequential decrease primarily reflects lower yields on investment securities and fewer days in the first quarter of 2014, partially offset by the change in the mix of assets.

The net unrealized pre-tax gain on our total investment securities portfolio was $676 million at March 31, 2014 compared with $309 million at Dec. 31, 2013. The increase was primarily driven by the reduction in market interest rates.

The provision for credit losses was a credit of $18 million in the first quarter of 2014 driven by the continued improvement in the credit quality of the loan portfolio. The provision for credit losses was a credit of $24 million in the first quarter of 2013 and a provision of $6 million in the fourth quarter of 2013.

Total noninterest expense

Reconciliation of noninterest expense				1Q14 vs.
(dollars in millions)	1Q14	4Q13	1Q13	1Q13	4Q13
Noninterest expense – GAAP	$ 2,739	$ 2,877	$ 2,828	(3)%	(5)%
Less: Amortization of intangible assets	75	82	86
M&I, litigation and restructuring charges	(12)	2	39
Total noninterest expense excluding amortization of intangible assets, M&I, litigation and restructuring charges – Non-GAAP	$ 2,676	$ 2,793	$ 2,703	(1)%	(4)%

Total noninterest expense excluding amortization of intangible assets, M&I, litigation and restructuring charges (Non-GAAP) decreased 1% year-over-year and 4% sequentially. Staff expense decreased sequentially despite the acceleration of the vesting of long-term stock awards for retirement eligible employees, driven by lower pension and compensation expense. Year over year, the decrease in non-staff expense was primarily due to a provision for administrative errors in certain offshore tax-exempt funds and the cost of generating certain tax credits both of which were recorded in the first quarter of 2013.

The effective tax rate was 25.1% in the first quarter of 2014 and was positively impacted by the change in New York state tax rates enacted on March 31, 2014.

Capital ratios	March 31,	Dec. 31,	March 31,
	2014	2013	2013
Regulatory capital ratios: (a)
Estimated common equity Tier 1 ratio ("CET1"), fully phased-in – Non-GAAP: (b)(c)
Standardized Approach	11.0%	10.6%	9.4%
Advanced Approach	11.0	11.3	9.7
CET1 ratio (d)	15.7	14.5 (c)	12.2 (c)
Tier 1 capital ratio (d)	17.0	16.2	13.6
Total (Tier 1 plus Tier 2) capital ratio (d)	17.8	17.0	14.7
Leverage capital ratio (d)	6.1	5.4	5.2
BNY Mellon shareholders' equity to total assets ratio (c)	10.3	10.0	10.0
BNY Mellon common shareholders' equity to total assets ratio (c)	9.9	9.6	9.7
BNY Mellon tangible common shareholders' equity to tangible assets of operations ratio – Non-GAAP (c)	6.6	6.8	5.9
(a) March 31, 2014 regulatory capital ratios are preliminary. At March 31, 2014 and Dec. 31, 2013, the estimated fully phased-in Basel III CET1 ratios are based on our interpretation of the final rules released by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve (the "Federal Reserve") on July 2, 2013 (the "Final Rules"), which will be gradually phased-in over a multi-year period. At March 31, 2013, these ratios were estimated using our interpretation of the Federal Reserve's Notices of Proposed Rulemaking ("NPRs") dated June 7, 2012.
(b) Consistent with historic practice, the risk-based capital ratios do not include the impact of BNY Mellon's actual contractual exposure to certain consolidated investment management funds, and do not include the impact of the total consolidated assets of these vehicles. If the Company is required to include the net impact of such total consolidated assets, it would decrease the fully phased-in CET1 ratio under the Standardized Approach by approximately 60 basis points and the Advanced Approach by approximately 100 basis points at March 31, 2014.
(c) See "Supplemental information – Explanation of GAAP and Non-GAAP financial measures" beginning on page 11 for a reconciliation of these ratios.
(d) At March 31, 2014, the capital ratios are based on Basel III components of capital, as phased-in, and asset risk-weightings using the general risk-based guidelines included in the Final Rule (which for 2014 look to Basel I-based requirements). March 31, 2014 risk-weightings are not based on the Advanced Approach rules. The leverage capital ratio is based on Basel III components of capital, and quarterly average total assets, as phased-in. Periods prior to March 31, 2014 are based on Basel I rules.

Impact of Adopting New Accounting Guidance

In the first quarter of 2014, BNY Mellon elected to early adopt the new accounting guidance included in Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-01, "Accounting for Investments in Qualified Affordable Housing Projects - a Consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force." This ASU allows companies that invest in qualified affordable housing projects to elect the proportional amortization method of accounting for these investments, if certain conditions are met. In the first quarter of 2014, we restated the prior period financial statements to reflect the impact of the retrospective application of the new accounting guidance.

The table below presents the impact of the new accounting guidance on our previously reported earnings (loss) per share applicable to the common shareholders.

Supplemental information – Explanation of GAAP and Non-GAAP financial measures

BNY Mellon has included in this Earnings Release certain Non-GAAP financial measures based upon fully phased-in Basel III CET1, Basel I Tier 1 common equity and tangible common shareholders' equity. BNY Mellon believes that the Basel III CET1 ratio on a fully phased-in basis, the ratio of Basel I Tier 1 common equity to risk-weighted assets 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 calculation has excluded certain assets which are given a zero percent risk-weighting for regulatory purposes. 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 BNY Mellon's performance in reference to those assets which are productive in generating 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 such assets in relation to shares of common stock outstanding. BNY Mellon has presented its estimated fully phased-in Basel III CET1 ratios based on its interpretation of the Final Rules released by the Federal Reserve on July 2, 2013, and on the application of such rules to BNY Mellon's businesses as currently conducted. The estimated fully phased-in Basel III CET1 ratio is necessarily subject to, among other things, BNY Mellon's further review of the Final Rules, anticipated compliance with all necessary enhancements to model calibration, and other refinements, further implementation guidance from regulators and any changes BNY Mellon may make to its businesses. Consequently, BNY Mellon's estimated fully phased-in Basel III CET1 ratio may change based on these factors. Management views the estimated fully phased-in Basel III CET1 ratio as a key measure 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 ratio is intended to allow investors to compare BNY Mellon's estimated fully phased-in Basel III CET1 ratio with estimates presented by other companies.

BNY Mellon has presented revenue measures which exclude the effect of noncontrolling interests related to consolidated investment management funds and a loss related to an equity investment; 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 and earnings per share measures also exclude the charge related to the disallowance of certain foreign tax credits. 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 ongoing charges as a result of prior transactions or where we have incurred charges. M&I expenses primarily relate to the acquisitions of Global Investment Servicing on July 1, 2010 and BHF Asset Servicing GmbH on Aug. 2, 2010. M&I expenses generally continue for approximately three years after the transaction and can vary on a year-to-year basis depending on the stage of the integration. BNY Mellon believes that the exclusion of M&I expenses provides investors with a focus on BNY Mellon's business as it would appear on a consolidated going-forward basis, after such M&I expenses have ceased. Future periods will not reflect such M&I expenses, and thus may be more easily compared with our current results if M&I expenses are excluded. 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 Operational Excellence Initiatives and migrating positions to Global Delivery Centers. Excluding these charges permits investors to view expenses on a basis consistent with how management views the business.

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 business-level basis.

(dollars in millions)	2014	2013	2013

Total estimated fully phased-in Basel III CET1	$ 15,951	$ 14,810	$ 13,749

Under the Standardized Approach:
Total risk-weighted assets – Basel I (b)	$ 120,728	$ 113,322	$ 119,382
Add: Adjustments (c)	24,416	26,543	26,898
Total estimated fully phased-in Basel III risk-weighted assets	$ 145,144	$ 139,865	$ 146,280

Estimated fully phased-in Basel III CET1 ratio – Non-GAAP	11.0%	10.6%	9.4%

Under the Advanced Approach:
Total risk-weighted assets – Basel I (b)	$ 120,728	$ 113,322	$ 119,382
Add: Adjustments (c)	24,815	17,527	22,798
Total estimated fully phased-in Basel III risk-weighted assets	$ 145,543	$ 130,849	$ 142,180

Estimated fully phased-in Basel III CET1 ratio – Non-GAAP	11.0%	11.3%	9.7%
(a) March 31, 2014 information is preliminary. At March 31, 2014 and Dec. 31, 2013, the estimated fully phased-in Basel III CET1 ratios are based on our interpretation of the Final Rules. At March 31, 2013, these ratios were estimated using our interpretation of the NPRs dated June 7, 2012.
(b) Consistent with historic practice, the risk-based capital ratios do not include the impact of certain consolidated investment management funds, and do not include the impact of BNY Mellon's actual contractual exposure to these vehicles. If the Company is required to include the net impact of such total consolidated assets, it would decrease the fully phased-in CET1 ratio under the Standardized Approach by approximately 60 basis points and the fully phased-in CET1 ratio under the Advanced Approach by approximately 100 basis points at March 31, 2014.
(c) Following are the primary differences between risk-weighted assets determined under Basel I and Basel III. Credit risk is determined under Basel I using predetermined risk-weights and asset classes and relies in part on the use of external credit ratings. Under Basel III both the Standardized and Advanced Approaches use a broader range of predetermined risk-weights and asset classes and certain alternatives to external credit ratings. Securitization exposure receives a higher risk-weighting under Basel III than Basel I, and Basel III includes additional adjustments for market risk, counterparty credit risk and equity exposures. Additionally, the Standardized Approach eliminates the use of the VaR approach for determining risk-weighted assets on certain repo-style transactions. Risk-weighted assets calculated under the Advanced Approach also include the use of internal credit models and parameters as well as an adjustment for operational risk. In 2014, risk-weighted assets include transition adjustments for intangible assets, other than goodwill, and significant investments in unconsolidated financial institutions.

The following table presents the reconciliation of our Basel I CET1 ratio.

Basel I CET1 ratio	Dec. 31,	March 31,
(dollars in millions)	2013	2013
Total Tier 1 capital – Basel I	$ 18,335	$ 16,219
Less: Trust preferred securities	330	603
Preferred stock	1,562	1,068
Total Tier 1 common equity	$ 16,443	$ 14,548

Total risk-weighted assets – Basel I	$ 113,322	$ 119,382

Basel I CET1 ratio – Non-GAAP	14.5%	12.2%
