FEE REVENUE INCREASED 3% SEQUENTIALLY; TOTAL REVENUE STABLE

STRENGTHENED CAPITAL RATIOS Tier 1 12.5% (Ex. TARP), Tier 1 Common 11.1%

NEW YORK, July 22, 2009 — The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (NYSE: BK) today reported second quarter income from continuing operations applicable to common shareholders of $267 million, or $0.23 per common share, compared with $303 million, or $0.26 per common share, in the second quarter of 2008 and $363 million, or $0.31 per common share, in the first quarter of 2009.

"Overall, revenue has stabilized, we continue to gain market share, remain profitable, and have among the best capital levels in our industry. However, investment losses remain stubbornly high primarily due to continued deterioration in the residential housing market. We will continue to focus on maintaining exceptional client service levels and reducing risk and expenses," said Robert P. Kelly, chairman and chief executive officer of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation.

On June 30, 2009, we adopted discontinued operations accounting for Mellon United National Bank located in Florida. Accordingly, all income statements in this release have been restated.

Net income applicable to common shareholders, including discontinued operations, totaled $176 million, or $0.15 per common share, in the second quarter of 2009, compared with $309 million, or $0.27 per common share in the second quarter of 2008 and $322 million, or $0.28 per common share in the first quarter of 2009.

Second Quarter Highlights Unless otherwise noted, all comments begin with the results of the second quarter of 2009 and are compared to the second quarter of 2008. Please refer to the Quarterly Earnings Review for detailed business segment information.

Total revenue was $2.957 billion, comprised of $2.257 billion of fee and other revenue and $700 million of net interest revenue. Total revenue included a pre-tax charge for the write-down of investment securities ($256 million) in fee and other revenue.

  • Assets under custody and administration amounted to $20.7 trillion at June 30, 2009, a decrease of 10% compared with the prior year and an increase of 6% sequentially. The year-over-year decrease reflects the impact of new business converted which was more than offset by lower market values, while the sequential increase primarily reflects the impact of new business converted and higher market values. Assets under management, excluding securities lending assets, amounted to $926 billion at quarter end. This represents a decrease of 17% compared with the prior year, and a 5% sequential increase. Net asset outflows in the second quarter totaled $19 billion, primarily reflecting an outflow of $14 billion related to the termination of a unique and very low fee relationship (less than 1 basis point annually), as well as money market outflows. Securities lending assets were $290 billion at June 30, 2009, a decrease of 1% sequentially and 51% compared with the prior year.
     
  • Securities servicing fees totaled $1.293 billion, a decrease of 18% year-over-year and an increase of 5% (unannualized) sequentially. Continued strong new business wins in the securities services businesses were more than offset by the impact of lower volumes and spreads associated with securities lending, lower market values, and lower levels of fixed income issuances globally. The increase sequentially primarily resulted from new business, improved market values and higher transaction volumes. Securities lending fee revenue totaled $97 million in the second quarter of 2009 compared with $202 million in the prior year period and $90 million sequentially.
     
  • Asset and wealth management fees, including performance fees, totaled $637 million, a decline of 26% compared with the prior year and an increase of 3% (unannualized) sequentially. The year-over-year decrease reflects the global weakness in market values partially offset by higher performance fees. The sequential increase reflects improved market values and higher performance fees. Both periods were impacted by lower fees related to money market and alternative asset classes. Performance fees totaled $26 million in the second quarter of 2009 compared with $17 million in the prior year period and $7 million in the first quarter of 2009.
     
  • Foreign exchange and other trading activities totaled $237 million, a decrease of 23% compared with $308 million in the prior year and a decrease of 23% (unannualized) compared with $307 million in the first quarter of 2009. The decrease compared with both periods reflects lower trading revenue primarily due to the lower valuation of credit derivatives used to hedge the loan portfolio. The year-over-year comparison also reflects lower foreign exchange revenue driven by lower volumes, partially offset by higher volatility, while sequentially, foreign exchange fees increased driven by higher volumes.
     
  • Net interest revenue (FTE) totaled $704 million with a net interest margin of 1.80% compared with $779 million and 1.87% sequentially. The net interest margin stabilized despite very low rates reflecting our strategy to reduce cash held at central banks and invest in securities issued by government-sponsored and guaranteed entities with a duration of 2-4 years. The sequential decline in revenue resulted primarily from a lower level of average interest-earning assets as the balance sheet returned to expected levels, as well as a lower value and level of interest-free funds.
     
  • Securities portfolio losses totaled $256 million. This compares with a loss of $152 million in the second quarter of 2008 and a loss of $295 million in the first quarter of 2009. Write-downs recorded in the second quarter of 2009 primarily reflect continued deterioration in the credit quality of residential mortgage-backed securities. Further information on the investment portfolio is detailed in the Quarterly Earnings Review on page 9.
     

The provision for credit losses was $61 million in the second quarter of 2009 compared with $13 million in the second quarter of 2008 and $59 million in the first quarter of 2009. During the second quarter of 2009, the total allowance for credit losses decreased $33 million as net charge-offs totaled $54 million and $40 million of the allowance for credit losses was transferred to discontinued operations.

Total noninterest expense was $2.383 billion. This compares with total noninterest expense of $2.743 billion in the second quarter of 2008 and $2.280 billion in the first quarter of 2009.

  • In 2Q09, we recorded a charge of $61 million related to an FDIC special emergency deposit assessment for all depository institutions. This special assessment reflects a charge of 5 basis points on total assets, minus Tier 1 capital at June 30, 2009 subject to a cap of 10 basis points of average assessable domestic deposits for the second quarter of 2009.
     
  • Total noninterest expense (excluding FDIC special assessment, M&I expenses and intangible amortization) decreased 13% compared with the prior year and increased 2% (unannualized) sequentially. The year-over-year decline reflects lower staff expense, including lower incentives, as well as continued strong overall expense control. The sequential increase primarily reflects higher sub-custodian and clearing expenses, software expenses and reserves for remediation of withholding tax documentation, partially offset by lower staff expenses.
     

The effective tax rate, on a continuing operations basis, was 2.2% in the second quarter of 2009. In the second quarter of 2009, the Company recognized $134 million of tax benefits primarily attributable to the final LILO/SILO tax settlement agreement at an amount less than originally recorded. Excluding the impact of the FDIC special assessment, M&I expenses, investment write-downs and the benefit of tax settlements recorded in the second quarter of 2009, the effective tax rate was 32.4% (Non-GAAP) in the second quarter of 2009.

Results in the second quarter of 2009 included an after-tax redemption charge of $196.5 million related to the repurchase of preferred stock issued to the U.S. Treasury as part of the TARP Capital Purchase Program and $39.8 million for the final dividend on the Series B preferred stock. The redemption premium/dividends and the FDIC special assessment decreased EPS by $0.23 per share in the second quarter of 2009.

The unrealized net of tax loss on our securities portfolio was $4.4 billion at June 30, 2009 compared with a net of tax loss of $4.5 billion at March 31, 2009. Further information on the investment portfolio is detailed in the Quarterly Earnings Review on page 9.

On June 30, 2009, the Company submitted to the U.S. Treasury notice of our intention to repurchase the warrant which we issued to the Treasury in connection with the TARP Capital Purchase Program. The Company and the Treasury are currently discussing the terms of the proposed repurchase of the warrant.

On June 30, 2009, we adopted discontinued operations accounting for Mellon United National Bank located in Florida. Accordingly, the income statements for all periods in this release have been restated. The restatement resulted in a reduction to previously reported levels of net interest revenue and the net interest margin; a slight reduction in both treasury services and other fee revenue; a reduction in the provision for credit losses; a reduction in noninterest expense and a change in continuing earnings per share.

Also on July 22, 2009, The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation declared a quarterly common stock dividend of 9 cents per common share. This cash dividend is payable on Aug. 11, 2009 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on Aug. 3, 2009.

Discontinued operations

On June 30, 2009, we adopted discontinued operations accounting for Mellon United National Bank located in Florida. It was determined that this business no longer fits our strategic focus on our asset management and securities servicing businesses. The business was formerly included in the Other segment. In the second quarter of 2009, we recorded an after-tax loss on discontinued operation of $91 million primarily related to the write-down of goodwill and an increase in the provision for credit losses. The after-tax loss of $41 million in the first quarter of 2009 primarily resulted from a goodwill impairment charge.

The income statements for all periods in this Earnings Release have been restated. The restatement resulted in a reduction to previously reported levels of net interest revenue and the net interest margin; a slight reduction in both treasury services and other fee revenue; a reduction in the provision for credit losses; a reduction in noninterest expense; and a change in continuing earnings per share.

Supplemental information - Explanation of Non-GAAP financial measures

The Company has included in this release certain Non-GAAP financial measures based upon tangible common shareholders' equity. The Company believes that the ratio of tangible common shareholders' equity to tangible assets is a measure of capital strength that adds additional useful information to investors supplementing the Tier 1 capital ratio which is utilized by regulatory authorities. Unlike the Tier 1 ratio, the tangible common shareholders' equity ratio fully incorporates those changes in securities valuations which are reflected in 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 the Company in its calculation has excluded certain assets which are given a zero percent risk weighting for regulatory purposes. This ratio is also informative to investors in the Company's common stock because, unlike the Tier 1 capital ratio, it excludes preferred stock and trust preferred securities issued by the Company. Further, the Company believes that the return on tangible common equity measure, which excludes goodwill and intangible assets net of deferred tax liability, is a useful additional measure for investors because it presents a measure of the Company's performance in reference to those assets which are productive in generating income.

The Company has also 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. The Company has presented revenue measures which exclude the effect of investment write-downs and a SILO charge; expense measures which exclude an FDIC special assessment, M&I expenses and intangible amortization expenses; and measures which utilize net income excluding tax items such as the benefit of tax settlements. Return on equity measures and operating margin measures which exclude some or all of these items are also presented. The Company believes that these measures are useful to investors because they permit a focus on period to period comparisons which relate to the ability of the Company to enhance revenues and limit expenses in circumstances where such matters are within the Company's control. The excluded items in general relate to situations where accounting rules require certain ongoing charges as a result of prior transactions, or where valuation or other accounting/regulatory requirements require charges unrelated to operational initiatives. The SILO charge relates to a one-time settlement with the IRS of tax structured lease transactions in 2008. We also present earnings information including the TARP dividend and redemption premium, so as to provide investors with a better understanding of operational results. In this earnings release, certain amounts are 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 segment basis.
