CEO Commentary
Robin Vince, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “BNY Mellon delivered solid results in the first quarter. Revenue of $4.4 billion was up 11% year-over-year, we closely managed expenses, up 3% year-over-year, and we generated a healthy return on tangible common equity of 20%. Our Tier 1 leverage ratio as well as our liquidity coverage ratio remained strong and unchanged compared to the prior quarter at 5.8% and 118%, respectively.”

“The strength of BNY Mellon’s highly liquid, lower credit-risk and well-capitalized balance sheet in combination with the resilience of our platforms is the bedrock that supports our client franchise. Time and again, BNY Mellon has been a port in the storm for our clients in times of market turmoil, and the recent weeks have been no different as we help our clients with solutions to navigate this complicated backdrop,” Mr. Vince added.

“While we will remain vigilant given the heightened uncertainty in the current environment, we are pushing forward with our strategic agenda to reinvigorate underlying growth by doing more for our clients across our extensive suite of products and services, while driving greater efficiency,” Mr. Vince concluded.

Provision for credit losses was $27 million, reflecting changes in the macroeconomic forecast.
Noninterest expense increased 3%, primarily reflecting higher investments and revenue-related expenses, as well as the impact of inflation, partially offset by the favorable impact of efficiency savings, a stronger U.S. dollar and the impact of the Alcentra divestiture.
Effective tax rate of 21.0%.

Assets under custody and/or administration (“AUC/A”) and Assets under management (“AUM”)
AUC/A of $46.6 trillion, increased 2%, primarily reflecting client inflows and net new business, partially offset by lower market values and the unfavorable impact of a stronger U.S. dollar.
AUM of $1.9 trillion, decreased 16%, primarily reflecting lower market values, the unfavorable impact of a stronger U.S. dollar and the divestiture of Alcentra, partially offset by net inflows.

(a)    Regulatory capital ratios for March 31, 2023 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, 2023 and Dec. 31, 2022 was the Advanced Approaches.
(b)    Tangible book value per common shareNon-GAAP excludes goodwill and intangible assets, net of deferred tax liabilities. See “Explanation of GAAP and Non-GAAP financial measures” beginning on page 9 for information on this Non-GAAP measure.


CET1 capital totaled $17.9 billion and Tier 1 capital totaled $22.7 billion at March 31, 2023, both decreasing slightly compared with Dec. 31, 2022. The decreases primarily reflect common stock repurchase activity, partially offset by capital generated through earnings and a net increase in accumulated other comprehensive income. The Tier 1 leverage ratio was flat compared with Dec. 31, 2022, as a slight decrease in capital was offset by a decrease in average assets.

BNY Mellon 1Q23 Earnings Release
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 also 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.

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

BNY Mellon has presented total revenue and fee revenue measures excluding the accelerated amortization of deferred costs for depositary receipts services related to Russia. Income before taxes and diluted earnings per common share measures excluding the revenue item above as well as a disposal loss, and litigation reserves are also provided. Litigation reserves represent accruals for loss contingencies that are both probable and reasonably estimable, but exclude standard business-related legal fees. These measures are provided to permit investors to view the financial measures on a basis consistent with how management views the businesses.
