CEO Commentary

“We delivered a strong quarter and continue to see momentum across our businesses, despite the ongoing impact of low interest rates. In the first quarter of 2021, on a year-over-year basis, we delivered a 1% increase in fee revenue, or 6% excluding the impact of money market fee waivers. This included strong organic growth driven by new business and higher activity levels. Our business model has proven to be resilient and operating margin was essentially flat at 29%, compared to the first quarter of 2020 when we saw exceptional pandemic-related volumes and volatility,” Todd Gibbons, Chief Executive Officer, said.

Mr. Gibbons added, “Our Pershing, Asset Servicing and foreign exchange businesses benefited from healthy client activity and market levels. Investment and Wealth Management also benefited from market appreciation, as well as continued investment in our products and services. In addition, we gained traction in the data and analytics space, Clearing and Collateral Management and Treasury Services, driven by ongoing investments in innovation and digitization.”

“We were pleased to resume share repurchases in the first quarter, and look forward to the implementation of the stress capital buffer regime, which will provide more flexibility in returning our excess capital to our shareholders. As we move from a period of resilience to a period of recovery and growth, there is a confluence of factors that are encouraging indicators for economic momentum. This includes progress on vaccine deployment, extraordinary levels of consumer savings, and monetary stimulus and further government spending – all of which are likely to accelerate GDP growth,” Mr. Gibbons concluded.

KEY DRIVERS (comparisons are 1Q21 vs. 1Q20, unless otherwise stated)

•Total revenue decreased 5%, primarily reflecting:

•Fee revenue increased 1% primarily reflecting the positive impact of higher markets, higher client volumes and balances and the favorable impact of a weaker U.S. dollar, partially offset by higher money market fee waivers. Excluding money market fee waivers, fee revenue increased 6% (a).

•Other revenue for 1Q21 includes a $39 million impairment related to a renewable energy investment.

•Net interest revenue decreased 20% primarily reflecting lower interest rates on interest-earning assets. This was partially offset by the benefit of lower deposit and funding rates, higher deposit balances and a larger securities portfolio.

•Provision for credit losses was a benefit of $83 million primarily driven by an improvement in the macroeconomic forecast.

•Noninterest expense increased 5% primarily reflecting higher staff expense, the unfavorable impact of a weaker U.S. dollar and technology-related expenses, partially offset by lower business development (travel and marketing) and distribution and servicing expenses. Staff expense includes the impact of an incentive reversal in 1Q20, the impact of a higher share price on share-based awards and increased expense for awards to retirement eligible employees.

•Effective tax rate of 19.2%.

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

•AUC/A of $41.7 trillion, increased 18%, primarily reflecting higher market values, net new business and the favorable impact of a weaker U.S. dollar.

•AUM of $2.2 trillion, increased 23%, primarily reflecting higher market values, the favorable impact of a weaker U.S. dollar (principally versus the British pound) and net inflows.

Capital and liquidity

•Repurchased 16.8 million common shares for $699 million; Dividends of $277 million to common shareholders (including dividend-equivalents on share-based awards).

•Return on common equity (“ROE”) of 9%; Return on tangible common equity (“ROTCE”) of 16% (a).

•Common Equity Tier 1 (“CET1”) ratio – 12.6%.

•Tier 1 leverage ratio – 5.8%.

•Supplementary leverage ratio (“SLR”) – 8.1% (b).

•Average liquidity coverage ratio (“LCR”) – 110%.

•Total Loss Absorbing Capacity (“TLAC”) ratios exceed minimum requirements.

KEY DRIVERS

•The drivers of the total revenue variances by line of business are indicated below. Also see page 6 for information related to money market fee waivers.

•Asset Servicing – The year-over-year decrease includes lower interest rates and foreign exchange revenue and higher money market fee waivers, partially offset by higher client volumes and market values. Sequentially, higher client and foreign exchange volumes were partially offset by higher money market fee waivers.

•Pershing – The year-over-year decrease primarily reflects the impact of money market fee waivers and a one-time fee recorded in 1Q20, partially offset by higher market values and client volumes. The sequential increase primarily reflects higher clearance volumes and market values.

•Issuer Services – The year-over-year and sequential decreases primarily reflect lower interest rates and higher money market fee waivers in Corporate Trust and lower Depositary Receipts revenue.

•Treasury Services – The year-over-year and sequential decreases primarily reflect lower interest rates and higher money market fee waivers. The year-over-year decrease was partially offset by higher payment volumes and deposit levels.

•Clearance and Collateral Management – The year-over-year decrease primarily reflects lower interest rates and intraday credit fees. The sequential increase primarily reflects higher clearance volumes.

•Noninterest expense increased year-over-year primarily reflecting technology-related expense, higher staff, volume-related and litigation expenses and the unfavorable impact of a weaker U.S. dollar. Sequentially, noninterest expense decreased primarily reflecting lower litigation and severance expenses.

KEY DRIVERS

•The drivers of the total revenue variances by line of business are indicated below. Also see page 6 for information related to money market fee waivers.

•Investment Management – The year-over-year increase primarily reflects the impact of higher market values, equity investment gains, including seed capital, and the favorable impact of a weaker U.S. dollar, partially offset by the impact of money market fee waivers. The sequential decrease primarily reflects the impact of money market fee waivers and lower equity investment gains, including seed capital, partially offset by higher market values and the favorable impact of a weaker U.S. dollar.

•Wealth Management – Total revenue increased year-over-year and sequentially, primarily reflecting the impact of higher market values. The sequential increase also reflects a loss on a business sale recorded in 4Q20.

•Noninterest expense increased year-over-year primarily reflecting higher staff expense and the unfavorable impact of a weaker U.S. dollar, partially offset by lower distribution and servicing and other expenses.

KEY DRIVERS

•Total revenue includes corporate treasury and other investment activity, including hedging activity which offsets between fee and other revenue and net interest expense. Other revenue decreased year-over-year and sequentially, primarily reflecting an impairment of a renewable energy investment. The sequential decrease in other revenue was partially offset by a loss on a sale of a business recorded in 4Q20.

•Noninterest expense increased year-over-year primarily reflecting higher staff expense. The sequential decrease primarily reflects real estate charges and severance expense both recorded in 4Q20, partially offset by higher other staff expense.

The following table presents the impact of money market fee waivers on our consolidated fee revenue, net of distribution and servicing expense. In 1Q21, the net impact of money market fee waivers was $188 million, up from $134 million in 4Q20, driven by low short-term interest rates and higher money market balances.

Common shares outstanding (in thousands)			875,481						886,764

(a)    Regulatory capital ratios for March 31, 2021 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 March 31, 2021, was the Standardized Approach for the CET1 and Tier 1 capital ratios and the Advanced Approaches for the Total capital ratio, and for Dec. 31, 2020, was the Advanced Approaches.

(b)    Reflects the temporary exclusion of U.S. Treasury securities from the leverage exposure used in the SLR calculation which increased our consolidated SLR by 68 basis points at March 31, 2021 and 72 basis points at Dec. 31, 2020. The temporary exclusion ceased to apply beginning April 1, 2021.

(c)    Tangible book value per common share – Non-GAAP excludes goodwill and intangible assets, net of deferred tax liabilities. See “Supplemental information – Explanation of GAAP and Non-GAAP financial measures” on page 10 for information on this Non-GAAP measure.

•CET1 capital totaled $21.1 billion at March 31, 2021, a decrease of $785 million compared with Dec. 31, 2020. The decrease primarily reflects unrealized losses on securities available-for-sale and capital deployed through common stock repurchases and dividends, partially offset by capital generated through earnings.

•Net interest revenue decreased year-over-year, primarily reflecting lower interest rates on interest-earning assets. This was partially offset by the benefit of lower deposit and funding rates, higher deposit balances and a larger securities portfolio.

•Sequentially, the decrease was primarily driven by lower interest rates on interest-earning assets. This was partially offset by the benefit of lower deposit and funding rates, and higher deposit and loan balances.

BNY Mellon 1Q21 Earnings Release

REPORTING CHANGES

In order to combine items of a similar nature within total revenue and to simplify our income statement presentation, in 1Q21 we made the following reporting changes. The reclassifications had no impact on consolidated total revenue or total revenue for the business segments. Prior periods were reclassified to be comparable with the current period presentation.

•Other trading revenue was reclassified from foreign exchange and other trading revenue to investment and other income.

•Foreign exchange and other trading revenue was renamed foreign exchange revenue.

•The impact of foreign currency remeasurement was reclassified from investment and other income to foreign exchange revenue.

•Income (loss) from consolidated investment management funds was reclassified to investment and other income.

•Investment and other income was reclassified from fee revenue to other revenue. Other revenue includes investment and other income and net securities gains (losses).

In addition, the assets and liabilities of consolidated investment management funds were reclassified to other assets and other liabilities, respectively, on the consolidated balance sheet. The reclassifications had no impact on total assets or total liabilities. Prior periods were reclassified to be comparable with the current period presentation.

See “Reporting Changes” in the Financial Supplement available at www.bnymellon.com for additional information.

The table below summarizes the effects of the reclassifications on the consolidated financial statements.

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, which exclude goodwill and intangible assets, net of deferred tax liabilities. We believe that the return on tangible common equity is additional useful information for investors because it presents a measure of those assets that can generate income, and the tangible book value per common share is additional useful information because it presents the level of tangible assets in relation to shares of common stock outstanding.

Net interest revenue, on a fully taxable equivalent (“FTE”) basis – Non-GAAP and net interest margin (FTE) – Non-GAAP and other FTE measures include the tax equivalent adjustments on tax-exempt income which allows for the comparison 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.

BNY Mellon has also included the adjusted pre-tax operating margin – Non-GAAP, which is the pre-tax operating margin for the Investment and Wealth Management business net of distribution and servicing expense that was passed to third parties who distribute or service our managed funds. We believe that this measure is useful when evaluating the performance of the Investment and Wealth Management business relative to industry competitors.

For the reconciliations of these Non-GAAP measures, see “Supplemental Information – Explanation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Financial Measures” in the Financial Supplement available at www.bnymellon.com.

BNY Mellon has presented the measure of fee revenue, excluding money market fee waivers – Non-GAAP. We believe that this measure is useful information for investors on the impact of current interest rates and market conditions on fee revenue growth rates and the performance of our business.

(a) Includes the average impact of offsetting under enforceable netting agreements of approximately $37 billion for 1Q21, $41 billion for 4Q20, $43 billion for 3Q20, $67 billion for 2Q20 and $80 billion for 1Q20. On a Non-GAAP basis, excluding the impact of offsetting, the yield on federal funds sold and securities purchased under resale agreements would have been 0.19% for 1Q21, 0.23% for 4Q20, 0.26% for 3Q20 and 2Q20 and 1.39% for 1Q20. On a Non-GAAP basis, excluding the impact of offsetting, the rate on federal funds purchased and securities sold under resale agreements would have been (0.02)% for 1Q21, 0.00% for 4Q20, 0.04% for 3Q20, 0.00% for 2Q20 and 1.18% for 1Q20. We believe providing the rates excluding the impact of netting is useful to investors as it is more reflective of the actual rates earned and paid.
(b) Average rates were calculated on an FTE basis, at tax rates of approximately 21%.

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 March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020 was the Standardized Approach for the CET1 and Tier 1 capital ratios and the Advanced Approaches for the Total capital ratio, and for Dec. 31, 2020, Sept. 30, 2020 and June 30, 2020, was the Advanced Approaches.
(b) Reflects the application of a rule effective April 1, 2020 to exclude certain central bank placements. Also effective on April 1, 2020 was the temporary exclusion of U.S. Treasury securities from the leverage exposure used in the SLR calculation which increased our consolidated SLR by 68 basis points at March 31, 2021, 72 basis points at Dec. 31, 2020, 78 basis points at Sept. 30, 2020 and 40 basis points at June 30, 2020. The temporary exclusion ceased to apply beginning April 1, 2021.

THE BANK OF NEW YORK MELLON CORPORATION
SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION – EXPLANATION OF GAAP AND NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
BNY Mellon has included in this Financial Supplement certain Non-GAAP financial measures on a tangible basis as a supplement to GAAP information, which exclude goodwill and intangible assets, net of deferred tax liabilities. We believe that the return on tangible common equity is additional useful information for investors because it presents a measure of those assets that can generate income, and the tangible book value per common share is additional useful information because it presents the level of tangible assets in relation to shares of common stock outstanding.
Net interest revenue, on a fully taxable equivalent ("FTE") basis – Non-GAAP and net interest margin (FTE) – Non-GAAP and other FTE measures include the tax equivalent adjustments on tax-exempt income which allows for the comparison 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.
BNY Mellon has also included the adjusted pre-tax operating margin – Non-GAAP, which is the pre-tax operating margin for the Investment and Wealth Management business net of distribution and servicing expense that was passed to third parties who distribute or service our managed funds. We believe that this measure is useful when evaluating the performance of the Investment and Wealth Management business relative to industry competitors.
The presentation of the growth rates of investment management and performance fees on a constant currency basis permits investors to assess the significance of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Growth rates on a constant currency basis were determined by applying the current period foreign currency exchange rates to the prior period revenue. We believe that this presentation, as a supplement to GAAP information, gives investors a clearer picture of the related revenue results without the variability caused by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.
Notes:
Certain immaterial reclassifications/revisions have been made to prior periods to place them on a basis comparable with the current period's presentation.
In businesses where average deposits are greater than average loans, average assets include an allocation of investment securities equal to the difference.
Return on common and tangible common equity ratios are annualized.

REPORTING CHANGES
In order to combine items of a similar nature within total revenue and to simplify our income statement presentation, in the first quarter of 2021 we made the following reporting changes. The reclassifications had no impact on consolidated total revenue or total revenue for the business segments. Prior periods were reclassified to be comparable with the current period presentation.
• Other trading revenue was reclassified from foreign exchange and other trading revenue to investment and other income.
• Foreign exchange and other trading revenue was renamed foreign exchange revenue.
• The impact of foreign currency remeasurement was reclassified from investment and other income to foreign exchange revenue.
• Income (loss) from consolidated investment management funds was reclassified to investment and other income.
• Investment and other income was reclassified from fee revenue to other revenue. Other revenue includes investment and other income and net securities gains (losses).
In addition, the assets and liabilities of consolidated investment management funds were reclassified to other assets and other liabilities, respectively, on the consolidated balance sheet. The reclassifications had no impact on total assets or total liabilities. Prior periods were reclassified to be comparable with the current period presentation.

Prior periods were reclassified to be comparable with the current period presentation. • Other trading revenue was reclassified from foreign exchange and other trading revenue to investment and other income. • Foreign exchange and other trading revenue was renamed foreign exchange revenue. • The impact of foreign currency remeasurement was reclassified from investment and other income to foreign exchange revenue. • Income (loss) from consolidated investment management funds was reclassified to investment and other income. • Investment and other income was reclassified from fee revenue to other revenue. Other revenue includes investment and other income and net securities gains (losses). In addition, the assets and liabilities of consolidated investment management funds were reclassified to other assets and other liabilities, respectively, on the consolidated balance sheet. The reclassifications had no impact on total assets or total liabilities. Prior periods were reclassified to be comparable with the current period presentation.
