The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation ("BNY Mellon") (NYSE: BK) today reported third quarter net income applicable to common shareholders of $967 million, or $0.82 per diluted common share. Excluding the benefit related to the U.S. Tax Court's partial reconsideration of a tax decision, net income applicable to common shareholders totaled $706 million, or $0.60 per diluted common share, compared with $720 million, or $0.61 per diluted common share, in the third quarter of 2012 and $833 million, or $0.71 per diluted common share, in the second quarter of 2013. The second quarter of 2013 results include an after-tax gain of $109 million, or $0.09 per common share, related to an equity investment.

"We are pleased to report strong year-over-year revenue and earnings growth in our Investment Management and Investment Services businesses. These results reflect our focus on driving organic growth and delivering enhanced solution sets from across our Company that help our clients succeed. Market conditions also improved for most of our businesses and, notably, we recorded the sixteenth consecutive quarter of positive net long-term inflows in Investment Management," said Gerald L.

Assets under custody and/or administration ("AUC/A") amounted to $27.4 trillion at Sept. 30, 2013, an increase of 4% compared with the prior year and 5% sequentially. The year-over-year increase was primarily driven by higher market values and net new business. The sequential increase primarily reflects higher market values and the positive impact of foreign currency rates. Assets under management ("AUM") amounted to a record $1.53 trillion at Sept. 30, 2013, an increase of 13% compared with the prior year and 7% sequentially. Both the year-over-year and sequential increases primarily resulted from net new business and higher market values. Long-term inflows totaled $32 billion and short-term inflows totaled $13 billion for the third quarter of 2013. Long-term inflows benefited from liability-driven investments, alternative investments and active equity and index funds.
Investment services fees totaled $1.7 billion, an increase of 4% year-over-year and unchanged sequentially. The year-over-year increase primarily reflects higher clearing services fees driven by higher mutual fund and asset-based fees and volumes, higher asset servicing revenue resulting from higher market values and higher issuer services revenue driven by higher Depositary Receipts revenue. Sequentially, higher issuer services revenue driven by seasonally higher Depositary Receipts revenue was offset by a seasonal decrease in securities lending revenue, lower activity and lower expense reimbursements. Additionally, higher money market fee waivers decreased investment services revenue both year-over-year and sequentially.
Investment management and performance fees were $821 million, an increase of 5% year-over-year and a decrease of 3% sequentially. The year-over-year increase was primarily driven by higher equity market values and net new business, partially offset by the average impact of the stronger U.S. dollar. The sequential decrease primarily reflects seasonally lower performance fees, partially offset by net new business and higher market values. Comparisons to both prior periods were negatively impacted by higher money market fee waivers.
Foreign exchange and other trading revenue totaled $160 million compared with $182 million in the third quarter of 2012 and $207 million in the second quarter of 2013. In the third quarter of 2013, foreign exchange revenue totaled $154 million, an increase of 27% year-over-year and a decrease of 14% sequentially. The year-over-year increase primarily reflects higher volumes and volatility. The sequential decrease was primarily driven by lower volatility while volumes increased slightly. Other trading revenue was $6 million in the third quarter of 2013 compared with $61 million in third quarter of 2012 and $28 million in the second quarter of 2013. The decrease compared with both prior periods primarily reflects lower fixed income trading revenue.
Investment and other income totaled $135 million in the third quarter of 2013 compared with $124 million in the third quarter of 2012 and $269 million in the second quarter of 2013. The year-over-year increase primarily reflects higher equity investment revenue, partially offset by lower seed capital gains. The sequential decrease primarily reflects a gain related to an equity investment recorded in the second quarter of 2013.
Net interest revenue and the net interest margin (FTE) were $772 million and 1.16% in the third quarter of 2013 compared with $749 million and 1.20% in the third quarter of 2012 and $757 million and 1.15% in the second quarter of 2013. Both increases in net interest revenue were primarily driven by lower premium amortization on investment securities and higher average interest-earning assets. The year-over-year increase also reflects a change in the mix of earning assets and lower funding costs. Additionally, the sequential increase was partially offset by a change in the mix of earning assets, including a decrease in the investment securities portfolio.
The net unrealized pre-tax gain on our total investment securities portfolio was $723 million at Sept. 30, 2013 compared with $656 million at June 30, 2013. The increase in the net unrealized pre-tax gain was primarily driven by lower credit spreads on foreign securities.

The provision for credit losses was $2 million in the third quarter of 2013, a credit of $5 million in the third quarter of 2012 and a credit of $19 million in the second quarter of 2013.

Total noninterest expense

Reconciliation of noninterest expense				3Q13 vs.
(dollars in millions)	3Q13	2Q13	3Q12	3Q12	2Q13
Noninterest expense – GAAP	$ 2,779	$ 2,822	$ 2,705	3%	(2)%
Less: Amortization of intangible assets	81	93	95
M&I, litigation and restructuring charges	16	13	26
Total noninterest expense excluding amortization of intangible assets, M&I, litigation and restructuring charges – Non-GAAP	$ 2,682	$ 2,716	$ 2,584	4%	(1)%

Total noninterest expense excluding amortization of intangible assets, M&I, litigation and restructuring charges (Non-GAAP) increased 4% year-over-year and decreased 1% sequentially. The year-over-year increase primarily resulted from higher staff expense driven by higher incentive and employee benefit expenses, and the impact of the annual employee merit increase. The sequential decrease primarily resulted from lower business development and professional, legal and other purchased services expenses, partially offset by a reduction in the reserve for administrative errors in certain offshore tax-exempt funds recorded in the second quarter of 2013 and the impact of the annual employee merit increase.

The benefit for income taxes totaled $2 million in the third quarter of 2013 and included a benefit of $261 million related to the U.S. Tax Court's partial reconsideration of its original tax decision on Feb. 11, 2013 disallowing certain foreign tax credits. Excluding the impact of the U.S. Tax Court's partial reconsideration, the effective tax rate on an operating basis – Non-GAAP was 26% in the third quarter of 2013.

Supplemental information – Explanation of Non-GAAP financial measures

BNY Mellon has included in this Earnings Release certain Non-GAAP financial measures based upon Tier 1 common equity and tangible common shareholders' equity. BNY Mellon believes that the ratio of 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 Tier 1 and Total capital ratios which are utilized by regulatory authorities. The ratio of Basel I Tier 1 common equity to risk-weighted assets excludes preferred stock and trust preferred securities from the numerator of the ratio. Unlike the Basel I Tier 1 and Total capital ratios, 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. 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 Basel III Tier 1 common equity ratio based on its interpretation, expectations and understanding of the final Basel III rules released by the Federal Reserve on July 2, 2013, on a fully phased in basis and on the application of such rules to BNY Mellon's businesses as currently conducted. The estimated Basel III Tier 1 common equity ratio is necessarily subject to, among other things, BNY Mellon's further review and implementation of the final Basel III 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 Basel III Tier 1 common equity ratio may change based on these factors. Management views the estimated Basel III Tier 1 common equity 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 Basel III Tier 1 common equity ratio is intended to allow investors to compare BNY Mellon's estimated Basel III Tier 1 common equity 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 gains related to an equity investment; and expense measures which exclude M&I expenses, litigation charges, restructuring charges and amortization of intangible assets. Return on equity measures and operating margin measures, which exclude some or all of these items, are also presented. Return on equity measures also exclude the (benefit) net 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.

(a) At Sept. 30, 2013 and June 30, 2013, the estimated Basel III Tier 1 common equity ratio is based on our interpretation of and expectations regarding the final rules released by the Federal Reserve on July 2, 2013, on a fully phased-in basis. For periods prior to June 30, 2013, these ratios were estimated using our interpretation of the NPRs dated June 7, 2012, on a fully phased-in basis.
(b) Preliminary.
(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.
