While the current operating environment requires us to be adaptable and agile, and to be prepared for a wide range of scenarios, I firmly believe that we have the correct strategy in place to continue to deliver sustained growth for our shareholders over the long term.

TAXES
The effective tax rate of 21.7% in 1Q25 decreased from 22.5% in 1Q24, primarily due to benefits attributable to stock-based compensation. Compared to 4Q24, the effective tax rate increased from 18.4% due to lower discrete benefits in the quarter.

Standardized capital ratios were binding for all periods included above.
CET1 (Standardized) ratio at quarter-end of 11.0% decreased 0.1% points compared to 1Q24, primarily driven by higher RWA and continued capital return, partially offset by capital generated from earnings and an improvement in AOCI. CET1 ratio increased 0.1% points compared to 4Q24, primarily due to capital generated from earnings, partially offset by higher RWA from Securities finance and increased loan balances as well as continued capital return.
Tier 1 leverage ratio at quarter-end of 5.5% increased 0.1% points compared to 1Q24 and increased 0.3% points compared to 4Q24, mainly driven by higher preferred equity and capital generated from earnings, partially offset by higher average balance sheet levels.

IN THIS NEWS RELEASE:
•Stock purchases under our common stock repurchase programs may be made using various types of transactions, including open-market purchases, accelerated share repurchases or other transactions off the market, and may be made under Rule 10b5-1 trading programs. The timing and amount of any stock purchases and the type of transaction may not be consistent over the duration of the program, may vary from reporting period to reporting period and will depend on several factors, including our capital position and financial performance, investment opportunities, market conditions, regulatory considerations including the nature and timing of implementation of revisions to the Basel III framework, and the amount of common stock issued as part of employee compensation programs. The common share repurchase programs do not have specific price targets and may be suspended at any time. State Street’s common stock and other stock dividends, including the declaration, timing and amount, remain subject to consideration and approval by State Street’s Board of Directors at the relevant times.
•Expenses and other measures are sometimes presented excluding notable items/effects of currency translation. This is a non-GAAP presentation. See the Addendum to this News Release for an explanation and reconciliations of our non-GAAP measures.
•Servicing fee revenue wins/backlog (i.e., "to be installed") represents estimates of future annual revenue associated with new servicing engagements State Street determines to be won during the current reporting period, which may include anticipated servicing-related revenues associated with acquisitions or structured transactions, based upon factors assessed at the time the engagement is determined by State Street to be won, including asset volumes, number of transactions, accounts and holdings, terms and expected strategy. These and other relevant factors influencing projected servicing fees upon asset implementation/onboarding will change from time to time prior to, upon and following asset implementation/onboarding, among other reasons, due to varying market levels and factors and client and investor activity and preferences. Servicing fee/backlog estimates are not updated to reflect those changes, regardless of the magnitude or direction of, or reason for, any change. Servicing fee revenue wins in any period include estimated fees attributable to both (1) services to be provided for new estimated AUC/A reflected in new asset servicing wins for the period (with AUC/A to be onboarded in the future) and (2) additional services to be provided for AUC/A already included in our end-of period AUC/A (i.e., for which other services are currently provided); and the magnitude of one source of servicing fee revenue wins relative to the other (i.e., (1) relative to (2)) will vary from period to period. Therefore, for these and other reasons, comparisons of estimated servicing fee revenue wins to estimated new asset servicing AUC/A wins for any period will not produce reliable fee per AUC/A estimates. No servicing fees are recognized until the point in the future when we begin performing the associated services with respect to the relevant AUC/A. Both AUC/A and servicing fee revenue, when presented on a "backlog" or "to be installed" basis, are presented as of period-end. See also the succeeding two bullets in this “In This News Release” section in reference to considerations applicable to pending servicing engagements, which similarly apply to engagements for which reported servicing fee revenue wins/backlog are attributable.
•New asset servicing mandates, including announced Alpha front-to-back investment servicing clients, may be subject to completion of definitive agreements, consents or assignments, approval of applicable boards and shareholders, customary regulatory approvals or other conditions, the failure to complete any of which will prevent the relevant mandate from being installed and serviced. New asset servicing mandates and servicing assets/fees remaining to be installed in future periods exclude new business which has been contracted, but for which the client has not yet provided permission to publicly disclose or anonymously disclose and is not yet installed. These excluded assets, which from time to time may be significant, will be included in new asset servicing mandates and reflected in servicing assets/fees remaining to be installed in the period in which the client provides its permission. Servicing mandates, servicing assets remaining to be installed in future periods and servicing fee revenues remaining to be installed in future periods are presented on a gross basis based on factors present on or about the time we determine the business to be won by us and are not updated based on subsequent developments, including changes in assets, market valuations, scope and, potentially termination. Such assets therefore also do not include the impact of clients who have notified us during the period of their intent to terminate or reduce their relationship with State Street, which from time to time may be significant.
•New business in assets to be serviced is reflected in our AUC/A after we begin servicing the assets, and new business in assets to be managed is reflected in our AUM after we begin managing the assets. As such, only a portion of any new asset servicing and asset management mandates may be reflected in our AUC/A and AUM as of any particular date specified. AUC/A values for certain asset classes are based on a lag, typically one-month. Generally, our servicing fee revenues are affected by several factors, and we provide varied services from our full suite of offerings to different clients. The basis for fees will also differ across regions and clients and can reflect pricing pressures traditionally experienced in our industry. Consequently, no assumption should be drawn as to future revenue run rate from announced servicing wins or new servicing business yet to be installed, as the amount of revenue associated with AUC/A can vary materially. Management fees also are generally affected by various factors, including investment product type and strategy and relationship pricing for clients, and are more sensitive to market valuations than are servicing fees. Therefore, no assumption should be drawn from management fees associated with changes in AUM levels. Levels of AUC/A, AUC/A to be installed, Servicing fee wins to be installed and AUM are always presented as of the end of the relevant period, unless otherwise specifically noted.

•Front office software and data ARR, an operating metric, is calculated by annualizing current quarter revenue for CRD and CRD for Private Markets and includes the annualized amount of most software-enabled revenue, including revenue generated from SaaS, maintenance and support revenue, FIX, and value-added services, which are all expected to be recognized ratably over the term of client contracts. ARR does not include software-enabled brokerage revenue, revenue from affiliates and licensing fees (excluding the portion allocated to maintenance and support) from On-premises software. Front office software and data ARR was $326 million, $375 million, and $373 million in 1Q24, 4Q24, and 1Q25, respectively.
•Revenue and pre-tax income reflects the application of ASC 606. Revenue recognition under ASC 606 results in the acceleration of a significant portion of revenues for On-premises software agreements when a client goes live or renews their contract with us. The amount of revenue recognized in any given quarter will be driven in large part by client activity, including agreements that renew or are installed in that quarter.
•Unless otherwise noted, all capital ratios referenced on this News Release and elsewhere in this presentation refer to State Street Corporation, or State Street, and not State Street Bank and Trust Company. The lower of capital ratios calculated under the Basel III advanced approaches and under the Basel III standardized approach are applied in the assessment of our capital adequacy for regulatory purposes. Standardized ratios were binding for 1Q25. Refer to the Addendum included with this News Release for additional information. All capital ratios are estimated. Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) is a preliminary estimate based on a quarterly daily average.
•State Street Bank and Trust's (SSBT) LCR is significantly higher than State Street Corporation's (SSC) LCR, primarily due to application of the transferability restriction in the U.S. LCR Final Rule to the calculation of SSC’s LCR. This restriction limits the amount of HQLA held at SSC’s principal banking subsidiary, SSBT and available for the calculation of SSC’s LCR to the amount of net cash outflows of SSBT. This transferability restriction does not apply in the calculation of SSBT’s LCR, and therefore SSBT’s LCR reflects the full benefit of all of its HQLA holdings.
•All earnings per share amounts represent fully diluted earnings per common share.
•Return on average common equity is determined by dividing annualized net income available to common shareholders by average common shareholders' equity for the period.
•Quarter-over-quarter (QoQ) is a sequential quarter comparison. Year-over-year (YoY) is the current period compared to the same period a year ago.
•Operating leverage is the rate of growth of total revenue less the rate of growth of total expenses, relative to the corresponding prior year period, as applicable.
•Fee operating leverage is the rate of growth of total fee revenue less the rate of growth of total expenses, relative to the corresponding prior year period, as applicable.
