    (a) Includes $29 million and $25 million previously reported as asset 
        and wealth management fee revenue and $3 million and $16 million
        previously reported as investment income in the second and first 
        quarters of 2010, respectively.
    (b) Total revenue on a GAAP basis was $3,358 million and $3,379 million
        in the second and first quarters of 2010 respectively.
  • Assets under custody and administration amounted to $21.8 trillion at June 30, 2010, an increase of 6% compared with the prior year and a decrease of 2% sequentially.  The year-over-year increase reflects higher market values and net new business.  The sequential decrease primarily reflects lower market values.  Assets under management, excluding securities lending assets, amounted to $1.0 trillion at June 30, 2010.  This represents an increase of 13% compared with the prior year and a 5% sequential decrease.  The year-over-year increase was primarily due to the acquisition of Insight Investment Management ("Insight") in the fourth quarter of 2009.  The sequential decrease primarily reflects lower market values.
  • Securities servicing fees totaled $1.267 billion, a decrease of 2% year-over-year and an increase of 6% sequentially.  An increase in asset servicing revenue, excluding securities lending fee revenue, compared with the second quarter of 2009, was partially offset by lower issuer and clearing services revenue which were negatively impacted by lower money market distribution fees.  Sequentially, issuer services, asset servicing and clearing services revenue improved reflecting new business, higher transaction volumes and seasonality.  Securities lending fee revenue totaled $46 million in the second quarter of 2010 compared with $97 million in the prior year period and $29 million sequentially.  The year-over-year decrease reflects narrower spreads and lower loan balances while the sequential increase primarily reflects seasonality.
  • Asset and wealth management fees were $676 million in the second quarter of 2010.  Adjusted for performance fees and income from consolidated asset management funds, net of noncontrolling interests, these fees totaled $686 million, an increase of 12% compared with the prior year period and a decrease of 1% sequentially (see page 11).  The year-over-year increase reflects improved market values, the Insight acquisition and the impact of new business, partially offset by higher fee waivers and a reduction in fees due to money market outflows.  Sequentially, the impact of new business was more than offset by lower market values.
  • Foreign exchange and other trading activities totaled $220 million compared with $237 million in the prior year period and $262 million in the first quarter of 2010.  In the second quarter of 2010, foreign exchange revenue totaled $244 million, an increase of 39% sequentially, driven by increased volatility.  The negative other trading revenue of $24 million in the second quarter of 2010 primarily relates to credit valuation adjustments ("CVA") on derivatives due to widening spreads and lower fixed income trading revenue.
  • Investment income and Other income totaled $145 million, increasing $92 million year-over-year, and was unchanged sequentially.  The year-over-year increase reflects positive foreign currency translations and lease residual gains, partially offset by lower seed capital revenue.
  • Net interest revenue (FTE) and the net interest margin were $727 million and 1.74% compared with $770 million and 1.89% sequentially.  These declines primarily reflect our credit strategy to reduce targeted loan exposure, as well as reducing the duration of placements.
  • Investment securities pre-tax net gains totaled $13 million compared to a pre-tax net loss of $256 million in the second quarter of 2009 and a $7 million pre-tax net gain in the first quarter of 2010.

The provision for credit losses decreased to $20 million in the second quarter of 2010 compared with $35 million in the first quarter of 2010.  During the second quarter of 2010, the total allowance for credit losses increased $7 million and net charge-offs totaled $13 million.  Nonperforming assets at June 30, 2010 totaled $406 million, a decrease of $53 million, or 12%, compared with March 31, 2010 primarily due to repayments.

    N/A – Not applicable.
  • Total noninterest expense (excluding special litigation reserves, FDIC special assessment, restructuring charges, M&I expenses and intangible amortization) (Non-GAAP) increased 4% compared with the prior year period and 3% sequentially.  The increase compared with the prior year period was primarily driven by the impact of the Insight acquisition and higher incentive expenses.  The sequential increase reflects higher support agreement charges resulting from a quarterly change in the market value of Lehman securities, the impact of the annual merit increase which was effective in the second quarter of 2010 and the U.K. bonus tax.  Comparisons to both periods were also impacted by higher business development activity.

The effective tax rate was 30.2% in the second quarter of 2010.

The unrealized net of tax gain on our investment securities portfolio was $114 million at June 30, 2010 compared with an unrealized net of tax loss of $191 million at March 31, 2010.  The improvement in the valuation of the investment securities portfolio was due to tightening credit spreads and a decline in interest rates.

    (a) The adoption of SFAS No. 167 (ASC 810) resulted in BNY Mellon 
        consolidating loans of consolidated asset management funds of 
        $12.1 billion at June 30, 2010 and $11.3 billion at March 31, 
        2010.  Included in these loans are $131 million and $150 million 
        of nonperforming loans, respectively.  These loans are not part 
        of BNY Mellon's loan portfolio.  As a result, the nonperforming 
        loans of consolidated asset management funds are excluded from 
        the nonperforming assets of BNY Mellon.  These loans are recorded
        at fair value and therefore do not impact the provision for credit 
        losses and allowance for loan losses.
    

Nonperforming assets decreased $53 million compared with March 31, 2010.  The decrease primarily resulted from repayments by financial institutions, partially offset by the addition of other residential mortgages.

Discontinued operations

On Jan. 15, 2010, BNY Mellon sold Mellon United National Bank ("MUNB"), its national bank subsidiary located in Florida.  We have applied discontinued operations accounting to this business.  The income statements for all periods in this Earnings Release are presented on a continuing operations basis.  This business, which was previously reported in the Other segment, no longer fit our strategic focus on our asset management and securities servicing businesses.  In the second quarter of 2010, we recorded an after-tax loss on discontinued operations of $10 million primarily reflecting lower of cost or market write-downs on the retained loans held for sale.

Consolidated net income applicable to common shareholders, including discontinued operations

Net income applicable to common shareholders, including discontinued operations, totaled $658 million, or $0.54 per common share, in the second quarter of 2010 compared with $176 million, or $0.15 per common share, in the second quarter of 2009 and $559 million, or $0.46 per common share, in the first quarter of 2010.

Regulatory Reform

In July 2010, Congress enacted regulatory reform legislation known as the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, which the President is expected to sign into law on July 21, 2010. This new law broadly affects the financial services industry by establishing a framework for systemic risk oversight, creating a resolution authority, mandating higher capital and liquidity requirements, requiring banks to pay increased fees to regulatory agencies and containing numerous other provisions aimed at strengthening the sound operation of the financial services sector.  Many aspects of the law are subject to further rulemaking and will take effect over several years, making it difficult to anticipate the overall financial impact to BNY Mellon or across the industry.

Supplemental information – Explanation of Non-GAAP financial measures

BNY Mellon has included in this release certain Non-GAAP financial measures based upon tangible common shareholders' equity.  BNY Mellon believes that the ratio of tangible common shareholders' equity to tangible total assets of operations is a measure of capital strength that provides additional useful information to investors supplementing the Tier 1 capital ratio which is utilized by regulatory authorities.  Unlike the Tier 1 capital ratio, the tangible common shareholders' equity ratio fully incorporates those 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.  This ratio is also informative to investors in BNY Mellon's common stock because, unlike the Tier 1 capital ratio, it excludes trust preferred securities issued by BNY Mellon.  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 revenue measures which exclude the effect of net securities gains (losses) and noncontrolling interests related to consolidated asset management funds and expense measures which exclude special litigation reserves taken in the first quarter of 2010, restructuring charges, M&I expenses, the FDIC special assessment and intangible amortization expenses; and measures which utilize net income excluding tax items such as benefit of tax settlement.  Return on equity measures and operating margin measures which exclude some or all of these items are also presented.  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 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.  M&I expenses primarily relate to the merger with Mellon Financial Corporation in 2007.  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, typically after approximately three years.  Future periods will not reflect such M&I expenses, and thus may be more easily compared to our current results if M&I expenses are excluded.  With regards to the exclusion of net securities gains (losses), BNY Mellon's primary businesses are Asset and Wealth Management and Institutional Services.  The management of these sectors is evaluated on the basis of the ability of these businesses to generate fee and net interest revenue and to control expenses, and not on the results of BNY Mellon's investment securities portfolio.  Management of the investment securities portfolio is a shared service contained in the Other segment.  The primary objective of the investment securities portfolio is to generate net interest revenue from the liquidity generated by BNY Mellon's processing businesses.  BNY Mellon does not generally originate or trade the securities in the investment securities portfolio.  The presentation of financial measures excluding special litigation reserves taken in the first quarter of 2010 provides investors with the ability to view performance metrics on the basis that management views results.  The presentation of income of consolidated asset management funds, net of noncontrolling interests related to the consolidation of certain asset management funds, permits investors to view revenue on a basis consistent with prior periods.  BNY Mellon believes that these presentations, as a supplement to GAAP information, gives investors a clearer picture of the results of its primary businesses.  Restructuring charges relate to migrating positions to global growth centers and the elimination of certain positions.  Excluding the benefit of tax settlements permits investors to calculate the tax impact of BNY Mellon's primary businesses.  

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 business segment basis.
