BNY Mellon Reports First Quarter 2024
Earnings Per Common Share of $1.25, or $1.29 as Adjusted (a)
NEW YORK, April 16, 2024 – The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (“BNY Mellon”) (NYSE: BK) today has reported financial results for the first quarter of 2024.
| | | | | | | | |
CEO COMMENTARY |
|
|
| BNY Mellon is off to an encouraging start for the year, with a solid financial performance, and all our businesses building on their momentum from last year.
In the first quarter, we delivered double-digit EPS growth as well as pre-tax margin and ROTCE expansion on the back of positive operating leverage. |
| | |
Total revenue of $4.5 billion was up 3% year-over-year, as 8% growth in investment services fees led by strength in Asset Servicing, Issuer Services and Clearance and Collateral Management more than offset revenue headwinds from muted volatility in foreign exchange markets and lower net interest income. We are starting to see our growth initiatives deliver results. Running our company better, inclusive of our focus on platforms, is enabling us to improve profitability and invest in our future. |
|
| | |
| |
Our performance this quarter provides a glimpse of BNY Mellon’s potential to deliver more for our clients. While we are pleased to see early signs of progress, we remain focused on the significant work ahead of us. | |
– Robin Vince, President and Chief Executive Officer |

•Investment Management – The year-over-year increase primarily reflects higher market values, partially offset by the mix of AUM flows and lower performance fees. The sequential increase primarily reflects the 4Q23 reduction in the fair value of a contingent consideration receivable and higher market values, partially offset by the timing of performance fees.
•Wealth Management – The year-over-year increase primarily reflects higher market values, partially offset by changes in product mix and lower net interest income. The sequential increase primarily reflects higher market values, partially offset by lower net interest income.
•Noninterest expense was flat year-over-year, reflecting higher investments and employee merit increases, offset by efficiency savings. The sequential increase primarily reflects higher revenue-related expense.

•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 a 1Q23 strategic equity investment loss. Total revenue increased sequentially primarily reflecting net securities losses in 4Q23, partially offset by 4Q23 strategic equity investment gains.
•Noninterest expense increased year-over-year primarily driven by higher severance expense. The sequential decrease in noninterest expense primarily reflects the 4Q23 FDIC special assessment and lower severance expense and litigation reserves.

•CET1 capital totaled $18.4 billion and Tier 1 capital totaled $22.7 billion at March 31, 2024, both decreasing compared with Dec. 31, 2023, primarily reflecting capital returned through common stock repurchases and dividends, partially offset by capital generated through earnings. The CET1 ratio decreased compared with Dec. 31, 2023 reflecting higher period-end risk-weighted assets and the reduction in capital. The Tier 1 leverage ratio decreased compared with Dec. 31, 2023 reflecting the reduction in capital and higher average assets.

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 income, 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 the reduction in the fair value of a contingent consideration receivable related to a prior year divestiture and disposal losses. Expense measures, excluding notable items, including 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.
