      NEW YORK, Jan. 16, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --

      INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AND PERFORMANCE FEES UP 17% YEAR-OVER-YEAR

      ASSETS UNDER MANAGEMENT UP 10% YEAR-OVER-YEAR

      • Net long-term inflows of $56 billion over last 12 months, $14 billion in 4Q12

      ASSETS UNDER CUSTODY/ADMINISTRATION UP 9% YEAR-OVER-YEAR

      • New wins of $1.5 trillion over last 12 months, $190 billion in 4Q12

      ESTIMATED BASEL III TIER 1 COMMON EQUITY RATIO 9.8% (a)

      RETURN ON TANGIBLE COMMON EQUITY 19% (a)

      REPURCHASED 49.8 MILLION COMMON SHARES FOR $1.1 BILLION IN 2012

      The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation ("BNY Mellon") (NYSE: BK) today reported fourth quarter net income applicable to common shareholders of $622 million, or $0.53 per diluted common share, compared with $505 million, or $0.42 per diluted common share, in the fourth quarter of 2011 and $720 million, or $0.61 per diluted common share, in the third quarter of 2012. 

      "We are pleased to report strong year-over-year growth in fees in our Investment Management, Asset Servicing, Clearing and Treasury Services businesses.  We benefited from the improvement in market values and, more importantly, from our relentless focus on generating organic growth with our broad client base.  We are also driving our operational excellence initiatives to improve our efficiency and help mitigate the impact on our high margin revenues due to the low interest rate environment and tepid capital markets activity.  Our balance sheet and capital ratios strengthened in 2012 even after giving effect to the repurchase of approximately $1.1 billion of our common shares in 2012," said Gerald L. Hassell, chairman and chief executive officer of BNY Mellon.

      "I wish to thank all of my colleagues across the company for their tremendous dedication and ongoing focus on improving our performance, delivering excellence to our clients and creating shareholder value," added Mr. Hassell.

      Net income applicable to common shareholders totaled $2.427 billion, or $2.03 per diluted common share, for the full-year 2012 compared with $2.516 billion, or $2.03 per diluted common share, for the full-year 2011.

      (a)   The Shareowner Services business was sold on Dec. 31, 2011.


      • Assets under custody/administration amounted to $26.7 trillion at Dec. 31, 2012, an increase of 9% compared with the prior year and $100 billion sequentially.  The year-over-year increase was driven by higher market values and net new business.  The sequential increase reflects net new business.  Assets under management amounted to a record $1.4 trillion at Dec. 31, 2012, an increase of 10% compared with the prior year and 2% sequentially.  Both increases primarily resulted from higher market values and net new business.  Long-term inflows totaled $14 billion and short-term outflows totaled $6 billion for the fourth quarter of 2012.  Long-term inflows benefited from fixed income and liability-driven investments.

      • Investment services fees totaled $1.6 billion, an increase of 1% year-over-year and a decrease of 5% sequentially.  The year-over-year increase was primarily driven by higher asset servicing revenue as a result of net new business, improved market values and higher collateral management revenue, as well as higher volumes in clearing and treasury services.  This increase was partially offset by the impact of the sale of the Shareowner Services business in the fourth quarter of 2011 as well as lower Depositary Receipts and Corporate Trust revenue.  Sequentially, the decrease primarily resulted from a $107 million decrease in Depositary Receipts revenue largely reflecting seasonality and lower securities lending revenue, partially offset by higher asset servicing revenue driven by higher collateral management revenue, and higher clearing and treasury services revenue.

      • Investment management and performance fees were $853 million, an increase of 17% year-over-year and 9% sequentially.  Both increases were impacted by the acquisition of the remaining 50% interest in the West LB Mellon Asset Management joint venture, subsequently renamed Meriten Investment Management ("Meriten").  Excluding the Meriten acquisition, investment management and performance fees increased 15% year-over-year and 8% sequentially driven by higher market values, net new business and higher performance fees. The year-over-year increase also reflects lower money market fee waivers.

      • Foreign exchange and other trading revenue totaled $139 million compared with $228 million in the fourth quarter of 2011 and $182 million in the third quarter of 2012.  In the fourth quarter of 2012, foreign exchange revenue totaled $106 million, a decrease of 42% year-over-year and 12% sequentially.  Both decreases reflect a sharp decline in volatility and a modest decrease in volumes.  Other trading revenue was $33 million in the fourth quarter of 2012 compared with $45 million in fourth quarter of 2011 and $61 million in the third quarter of 2012.  The decreases compared with both prior periods reflect lower fixed income trading revenue primarily driven by lower interest rate derivative trading revenue.

      • Investment and other income totaled $116 million compared with $146 million in the fourth quarter of 2011 and $124 million in the third quarter of 2012.  The year-over-year decrease primarily reflects the pre-tax gain on the sale of the Shareowner Services business recorded in the fourth quarter of 2011 which was partially offset by the write-down on an equity investment also recorded in the fourth quarter of 2011.  Additionally, the fourth quarter of 2012 includes higher net gains on loans held-for-sale retained from a previously divested bank subsidiary.  Sequentially, the decrease primarily reflects lower seed capital gains and equity investment revenue, partially offset by higher leasing gains.

      • Net interest revenue and the net interest margin (FTE) were $725 million and 1.09% compared with $780 million and 1.27% in the fourth quarter of 2011 and $749 million and 1.20% in the third quarter of 2012.  The year-over-year decrease in net interest revenue was primarily driven by the elimination of interest on European Central Bank deposits, lower accretion and lower yields on the reinvestment of securities, partially offset by higher interest-earning assets driven by higher deposit levels.  The decrease in net interest revenue compared with the third quarter of 2012 primarily reflects lower LIBOR rates, lower yields on the reinvestment of securities and lower accretion, partially offset by higher interest-earning assets driven by higher deposit levels.

        The decreases in net interest margin (FTE) compared with both prior periods primarily reflect higher interest-earning assets driven by higher deposits levels, lower reinvestment yields, the elimination of interest on European Central Bank deposits and lower accretion.

      • The unrealized pre-tax gain on our total investment securities portfolio was $2.4 billion at Dec. 31, 2012 compared with $2.5 billion at Sept. 30, 2012.  The decrease in the unrealized pre-tax gain was primarily driven by $50 million of net realized securities gains in the fourth quarter of 2012. The low rate environment creates the opportunity for us to realize gains as we rebalance and manage the duration risk of the investment securities portfolio.  Gains realized on these sales should be considered along with net interest revenue when evaluating our overall results.  In the fourth quarter of 2012, combined net interest revenue and net securities gains totaled $775 million, compared with $777 million in the year-ago quarter and $771 million in the linked quarter.

      The provision for credit losses was a credit of $61 million in the fourth quarter of 2012.  The credit was largely driven by a reduction in the allowance for credit losses related to the residential mortgage loan portfolio.  Our residential mortgage loan portfolio has experienced better performance compared to aggregate industry historical losses.  In the fourth quarter of 2012, we began using our actual loan loss experience rather than industry data to estimate the allowance for credit losses.  The provision for credit losses was $23 million in the fourth quarter of 2011 and a credit of $5 million in the third quarter of 2012.

      (a)   Reflects direct expense related to the Shareowner Services business sold on Dec. 31, 2011.

      • Total noninterest expense increased 7% year-over-year and 4% sequentially excluding amortization of intangible assets, M&I, litigation and restructuring charges and direct expenses related to Shareowner Services (Non-GAAP).  Both increases were primarily driven by revenue mix as the lower interest rate environment and tepid capital markets have driven a decline in our low variable cost businesses, such as Depositary Receipts, foreign exchange and other trading and net interest revenue. These revenue declines were offset by increases in investment management, asset servicing, clearing and treasury services fees, all of which come with higher variable costs.  Additionally, higher software amortization expense, business development expense and the Meriten acquisition increased noninterest expense both year-over-year and sequentially.

      The effective tax rate was 24.3% in the fourth quarter of 2012, which primarily reflects a benefit associated with the reorganization of certain foreign operations.

      30, 2012. The estimated Basel III Tier 1 common equity ratio of 7.1% at Dec. 31, 2011 is based on prior Basel III guidance and


      the proposed market risk rule.

      N/A

      – Not applicable.

      We generated $687 million of gross Basel I Tier 1 common equity in the fourth quarter of 2012. 

      Our estimated Basel III Tier 1 common equity ratio was 9.8% at Dec. 31, 2012 compared with 9.3% at Sept. 30, 2012.  The increase was primarily due to lower risk-weighted assets.

      Supplemental information – Explanation of Non-GAAP financial measures

      BNY Mellon has included in this Earnings Release certain Non-GAAP financial measures based upon tangible common shareholders' equity.  BNY Mellon believes that the ratio of Tier 1 common equity to risk-weighted assets and the ratio of tangible common shareholders' equity to tangible assets of operations are measures of capital strength that provide additional useful information to investors, supplementing the Tier 1 and Total capital ratios which are utilized by regulatory authorities.  The ratio of Basel I Tier 1 common equity to risk-weighted assets excludes preferred stock, as well as the trust preferred securities which will be phased out of Basel I Tier 1 regulatory capital beginning in 2013.  Unlike the Basel I Tier 1 and Total capital ratios, the tangible common shareholders' equity ratio fully incorporates those changes in investment securities valuations which are reflected in total shareholders' equity.  In addition, this ratio is expressed as a percentage of the actual book value of assets, as opposed to a percentage of a risk-based reduced value established in accordance with regulatory requirements, although BNY Mellon in its calculation has excluded certain assets which are given a zero percent risk-weighting for regulatory purposes.  Further, BNY Mellon believes that the return on tangible common equity measure, which excludes goodwill and intangible assets net of deferred tax liabilities, is a useful additional measure for investors because it presents a measure of BNY Mellon's performance in reference to those assets which are productive in generating income.  BNY Mellon has presented its estimated Basel III Tier 1 common equity ratio on a basis that is representative of how it currently understands the Basel III rules.  Management views the Basel III Tier 1 common equity ratio as a key measure in monitoring BNY Mellon's capital position.  The presentation of the Basel III Tier 1 common equity ratio allows investors to compare BNY Mellon's Basel III Tier 1 common equity ratio with estimates presented by other companies.  Additionally, BNY Mellon has provided a measure of tangible book value per share, which it believes provides additional useful information as to the level of such assets in relation to shares of common stock outstanding. 

      BNY Mellon has presented revenue measures which exclude the effect of noncontrolling interests related to consolidated investment management funds and other revenue related to the Shareowner Services business, which was sold on Dec. 31, 2011, and expense measures which exclude M&I expenses, litigation charges, restructuring charges, amortization of intangible assets and direct expenses related to the Shareowner Services business.  Return on equity measures and operating margin measures, which exclude some or all of these items, are also presented.  BNY Mellon believes that these measures are useful to investors because they permit a focus on period-to-period comparisons which relate to the ability of BNY Mellon to enhance revenues and limit expenses in circumstances where such matters are within BNY Mellon's control.  The excluded items in general relate to certain ongoing charges as a result of prior transactions or where we have incurred charges.  M&I expenses primarily relate to the acquisitions of Global Investment Servicing on July 1, 2010 and BHF Asset Servicing GmbH on Aug. 2, 2010.  M&I expenses generally continue for approximately three years after the transaction and can vary on a year-to-year basis depending on the stage of the integration.  BNY Mellon believes that the exclusion of M&I expenses provides investors with a focus on BNY Mellon's business as it would appear on a consolidated going-forward basis, after such M&I expenses have ceased.  Future periods will not reflect such M&I expenses, and thus may be more easily compared with our current results if M&I expenses are excluded.  Litigation charges represent accruals for loss contingencies that are both probable and reasonably estimable, but exclude standard business-related legal fees.  Restructuring charges relate to our operational excellence initiatives and migrating positions to global delivery centers.  Excluding these charges permits investors to view expenses on a basis consistent with how management views the business.  BNY Mellon also presents revenue and noninterest expense excluding results relating to the Shareowner Services business so that an investor may compare those results with other periods, which do not include the Shareowner Services business.

      In this Earnings Release, the net interest margin is presented on an FTE basis.  We believe that this presentation provides comparability 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. 

      Each of these measures as described above is used by management to monitor financial performance, both on a company-wide and business-level basis.

      7.1%

      (a)

      The estimated Basel III Tier 1 common equity ratios at Dec. 31, 2012 and Sept. 30, 2012 were based on the NPRs and final market


      risk rule initially released on June 7, 2012 and published in the Federal Register on Aug. 30, 2012. The estimated Basel III Tier 1


      common equity ratio at Dec. 31, 2011 was based on our interpretation of prior Basel III guidance and the proposed market risk rule.

      (b)

      Preliminary.

      (c)

      The NPRs and prior Basel III guidance do not add back to capital the adjustment to other comprehensive income that Basel I makes


      for pension liabilities and available-for-sale securities. Also, under the NPRs and prior Basel III guidance, pension assets recorded


      on the balance sheet and adjustments related to equity method investments are a deduction from capital.

      (d)

      Primary differences between risk-weighted assets determined under Basel I compared with the NPRs and prior Basel III guidance


      include: the determination of credit risk under Basel I uses predetermined risk weights and asset classes and relies in part on the use


      of external credit ratings, while the NPRs use, in addition to the broader range of predetermined risk weights and asset classes,


      certain alternatives to external credit ratings. Securitization exposure receives a higher risk-weighting under the NPRs and prior


      Basel III guidance than Basel I; also, the NPRs and prior Basel III guidance includes additional adjustments for operational risk,


      market risk, counterparty credit risk and equity exposures.

      (e)

      Calculated on an Advanced Approaches basis, as amended by Basel III.
