BNY Mellon Reports Fourth Quarter 2023

Earnings Per Common Share of $0.33, or $1.28 as Adjusted (a)

Full-Year 2023 Earnings Per Common Share of $4.00, or $5.05 as Adjusted (a)

NEW YORK, January 12, 2024 – The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (“BNY Mellon”) (NYSE: BK) today has reported financial results for the fourth quarter 2023.


CEO COMMENTARY


			The fourth quarter marked the close to a year in which we clarified our strategic priorities and laid a foundation for a multi-year transformation. In 2023 we started to show early evidence that we can deliver stronger financial performance. We exceeded the financial outlook that we communicated at the beginning of last year and today we are announcing further improved financial targets for each of our business segments and the firm overall in the medium-term.
Our 2023 financial results also once again highlight BNY Mellon’s characteristic resilience and our ability to perform in challenging operating environments. Against a complex backdrop of macro-economic uncertainty, evolving monetary policies and geopolitical tensions, our earnings per share for the full-year 2023 increased year-over-year by 38% on a reported basis and by 10% on an adjusted basis. Pre-tax margin and ROTCE improved on the back of significant operating leverage generation, and we further strengthened our regulatory capital and liquidity ratios, all while returning $3.9 billion of capital, or 123% of earnings,
to common shareholders in 2023. We are entering 2024, the year of our 240th anniversary, on a strong footing and with great momentum. Our priorities are clear, and we are moving with speed to be more for our clients, run our company better, and power our culture in 2024 and beyond.
– Robin Vince, President and Chief Executive Officer

KEY DRIVERS (comparisons are 4Q23 vs. 4Q22, unless otherwise noted)

•Total revenue increased 10%, primarily reflecting:

•Fee revenue was flat, primarily reflecting lower foreign exchange volatility and volumes and the mix of AUM flows, partially offset by higher market values and the favorable impact of a weaker U.S. dollar.

•Investment and other revenue increased primarily reflecting the 4Q22 net loss from repositioning the securities portfolio, partially offset by the 4Q23 reduction in the fair value of a contingent consideration receivable related to a prior year divestiture.

•Net interest revenue increased 4%, primarily reflecting higher interest rates, partially offset by changes in balance sheet size and mix.

•Provision for credit losses was $84 million, primarily driven by reserve increases related to commercial real estate exposure.

•Noninterest expense increased 20%, primarily related to the FDIC special assessment. Excluding notable items (a), noninterest expense increased 4% primarily reflecting higher investments and the unfavorable impact of a weaker U.S. dollar, as well as inflation, partially offset by efficiency savings.

•Effective tax rate of 16.4%.

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

•AUC/A increased 8%, primarily reflecting higher market values.

•AUM increased 8%, primarily reflecting higher market values and the favorable impact of a weaker U.S. dollar, partially offset by cumulative net outflows.

Capital and liquidity

•$328 million of dividends to common shareholders (b); $450 million of common share repurchases.

•Return on common equity (“ROE”) – 2.8%; Adjusted ROE – 10.9% (a).

•Return on tangible common equity (“ROTCE”) – 5.6% (a); Adjusted ROTCE – 20.9% (a).

•Common Equity Tier 1 (“CET1”) ratio – 11.6%.

•Tier 1 leverage ratio – 6.0%.

•Average liquidity coverage ratio (“LCR”) – 117%; Average net stable funding ratio (“NSFR”) – 135%.

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

Excluding notable items, noninterest expense increased 3% (a).

•Effective tax rate of 19.7%.

KEY DRIVERS

•The drivers of the total revenue variances by line of business are indicated below.

•Investment Management – The year-over-year decrease primarily reflects the 4Q23 reduction in the fair value of a contingent consideration receivable and the impact of the prior year divestiture, as well as the mix of AUM flows, partially offset by higher market values, seed capital gains and the favorable impact of a weaker U.S. dollar. The sequential decrease primarily reflects the reduction in the fair value of a contingent consideration receivable related to a prior year divestiture and the timing of performance fees, partially offset by seed capital gains.

•Wealth Management – The year-over-year decrease primarily reflects changes in product mix, partially offset by higher market values.

•Noninterest expense decreased year-over-year, primarily reflecting efficiency savings and the impact of a prior year divestiture, partially offset by higher investments and the unfavorable impact of a weaker U.S. dollar, as well as inflation.

KEY DRIVERS

•Total revenue includes corporate treasury and other investment activity, including hedging activity which has an offsetting impact between fee and other revenue and net interest expense. Total revenue increased year-over-year primarily reflecting the net loss from repositioning the securities portfolio recorded in 4Q22. Total revenue decreased sequentially primarily reflecting net securities losses in 4Q23 and debt extinguishment gains in 3Q23.

•Noninterest expense increased year-over-year primarily driven by the FDIC special assessment. The sequential increase in noninterest expense primarily reflects the FDIC special assessment, higher severance expense and litigation reserves.

BNY Mellon 4Q23 Financial Results

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 – Non-GAAP 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 – Non-GAAP 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 included the adjusted pre-tax operating margin – Non-GAAP, which is the pre-tax operating margin for the Investment and Wealth Management business segment, 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 segment relative to industry competitors.

See “Explanation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Financial Measures” in the Financial Supplement available at www.bnymellon.com for additional reconciliations of Non-GAAP measures.

BNY Mellon has also included revenue measures excluding notable items, including a net loss from repositioning the securities portfolio, the reduction in the fair value of a contingent consideration receivable related to a prior year divestiture, disposal gains and losses and the revenue reduction related to Russia, primarily accelerated amortization of deferred costs for depositary receipts services. Expense measures, excluding notable items, including goodwill impairment, FDIC special assessment, severance expense and litigation reserves, are also presented. Litigation reserves represent accruals for loss contingencies that are both probable and reasonably estimable, but exclude standard business-related legal fees. Net income applicable to common shareholders of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation, diluted earnings per share, operating leverage, return on common equity, return on tangible common equity and pre-tax operating margin, excluding the notable items mentioned above, are also provided. These measures are provided to permit investors to view the financial measures on a basis consistent with how management views the businesses.
