General

In this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, references to “our,” “we,” “us,” “BNY Mellon,” the “Company” and similar terms refer to The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries. The term “Parent” refers to The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation but not its subsidiaries.

Certain business terms used in this report are defined in the Glossary included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended Dec. 31, 20162017 (“20162017 Annual Report”).

The following should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report. Investors should also read the section titled “Forward-looking Statements.���

How we reported results

Throughout this Form 10-Q, certain measures which are noted as “Non-GAAP financial measures,measures.excludeThese items include the return on tangible common equity and tangible book value, net interest revenue and net interest margin both presented on an FTE basis, the growth rates for investment management and performance fees on a constant currency basis and the pre-tax operating margin for the Investment Management business. See “Supplemental information - Explanation of GAAP and Non-GAAP financial measures” beginning on page 40 for a reconciliation of the financial measures presented on a Non-GAAP basis, other than net interest revenue and net interest margin on an FTE basis. See “Net interest revenue,” including “Average balances and interest rates” beginning on page 8 for information on measures presented on an FTE basis.

In addition, certain items or otherwise include components that differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). BNY Mellon believes that these measures are useful to investors because they permit a focus on period-to-period comparisons using measures that relate to our ability to enhance revenues and limit expenses in circumstances where such matters are within our control or because they provide additional information about our ability to meet fully phased-in capital requirements. Certain immaterial reclassifications have been made to prior periods to place them on a basis comparable with the current period presentation. See “Supplemental information - Explanation of GAAP and Non-GAAP financial measures” beginning on page 49 for a reconciliation of financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP to adjusted Non-GAAP financial measures. See “Net interest revenue,” including the “Average balances and interest rates” beginning on page 10 for information on measures presented on a fully taxable equivalent basis. Also see “Capital” beginning on page 37 for information on our fully phased-in capital requirements.

Resolution plan

As required by the Dodd-Frank Act, the Parent must submit annually to the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (“Federal Reserve”) and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) a plan for its rapid and orderly resolution in the event of material financial distress or failure. The Parent filed its most recent resolution plan on July 1, 2017. We believe the 2017 resolution plan addresses all shortcomings and deficiencies identified by the FDIC and the Federal Reserve in the Company’s 2015 resolution plan. The public portion of our 2017 resolution plan is available on the Federal Reserve’s and FDIC’s websites.

In September 2017, the Federal Reserve and FDIC extended the filing deadline by one year to July 1, 2019 for the Parent’s next resolution plan.

As a quarterly basis. The bank assessment charges wereresult, staff expense increased and other expense decreased. Prior periods have been reclassified. For additional information, see Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
(b)Beginning in the first quarter of 2018, clearing expense, which was previously included in other expense, was included with sub-custodian expense. All priorPrior periods were reclassified.

(c)Beginning in the first quarter of 2018, merger and integration ("M&I"), litigation and restructuring charges are no longer separately disclosed. Expenses previously reported in this line have been reclassified to existing expense categories, primarily other expense.


Total noninterest expense increased less than 1%4% compared with the thirdfirst quarter of 20162017 and decreased slightly9% (unannualized) compared with the secondfourth quarter of 2017. The increase primarily reflects the unfavorable impact of a weaker U.S. dollar, higher softwarestaff expense driven by the annual merit increase that was effective in July 2017 and professional, legalhigher performance-based incentives. The increase also reflects higher volume-related sub-custodian and other purchased servicesclearing expenses, partially offset by lower litigation expense and bank assessment charges.consulting expense.

Asas a result of our continued investment in technology infrastructure and platforms. We expect to incur expenses in 2018 related to the submissioncontinued execution of our 2017 resolution plan, we began to experience a modest decrease in the expenses relating to these functions in the third quarter of 2017.real estate strategy.

 
Staff expense

Given our mix of fee-based businesses, which are staffed with high-quality professionals, staff expense comprised 55% of total noninterest expense in the third quarter of 2017, 56% in the third quarter of 2016 and 53%in the second quarter of 2017.

Staff expense increased slightly compared with the third quarter of 2016 as the annual employee merit increase was offset by lower severance. Staff expense increased 4% (unannualized) compared with the second quarter of 2017, primarily due to higher incentives expense reflecting stronger performance and the annual employee merit increase.

Non-staff expense

Non-staff expense includes certain expenses that vary with the levels of business activity and levels of expensed business investments, fixed infrastructure costs and expenses associated with corporate activities related to technology, compliance, legal, productivity initiatives and business development.

Non-staff expense totaled $1.2 billion, an increase of 1% compared with the third quarter of 2016 and a decrease of 4% (unannualized) compared with the second quarter of 2017. The increase primarily reflects higher software and professional, legal and other purchased services expenses, partially offset by lower litigation expense and bank assessment charges. The decrease primarily reflects lower other, professional, legal and other purchases services and business development expenses as well as lower bank assessment charges. The decrease in professional, legal and other purchased services was driven by lower consulting expense related to resolution planning.

Year-to-date 2017 compared with year-to-date 2016

Noninterest expense increased 1% compared with the first nine months of 2016, primarily reflecting higher consulting and software expenses, partially offset by lower net occupancy. The increase in consulting expense primarily reflects higher regulatory and compliance costs. Net occupancy expense decreased as we continue to benefit from the savings generated by the business improvement process.

Income taxes

BNY Mellon recorded an income tax provision of $348$282 million (25.4%(19.5% effective tax rate) in the thirdfirst quarter of 2018 and $269 million (22.3% effective tax rate) in the first quarter of 2017. The income tax provision was $324benefit of $453 million (24.6% effective tax rate) in the thirdfourth quarter of 2016 and $3322017 included the estimated tax benefit of $710 million (25.4% effectiverelated to U.S. tax rate) in the second quarter of 2017.legislation. For additional information, see Note 1011 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

We expect the effective tax rate to be approximately 25-26%21% in 20172018 based on current income tax rates. Based on our expected revenue growth as well as the mix of earnings we project for next year, we expect our effective tax rate may rise approximately 100 basis points in 2018.


Any legislation affecting income tax rates could have an impact on our future effective tax rate, the significance of which would depend on the timing, nature and scope of any such legislation, as well as the level and composition of our earnings.

Review of businesses

We have an internal information system that produces performance data along product and service lines for our two principal businesses, Investment Services and Investment Management, and the Other segment.

Business accounting principles

Our business data has been determined on an internal management basis of accounting, rather than the generally accepted accounting principles used for consolidated financial reporting. These measurement principles are designed so that reported results of the businesses will track their economic performance.

For information on the accounting principles of our businesses, the primary types of revenue by business and how our businesses are presented and analyzed, see Note 1819 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Business results are subject to reclassification when organizational changes are made or when improvements are mademade. There were no significant organizational changes in the measurement principles.first quarter of 2018. The results are also subject to refinements in revenue and expense allocation methodologies, which are typically reflected on a prospective basis.

The results of our businesses may be influenced by client and other activities that vary by quarter. In the first quarter, incentivesincentive expense typically increases reflecting the vesting of long-term stock awards for retirement-eligible employees. In the third quarter, Depositary Receipts revenue is typically higher due to an increased level of client dividend payments. Also in the third quarter, volume-related fees may decline due to reduced client activity. In the third quarter, staff expense typically increases reflecting the annual employee merit increase. In the fourth quarter, we typically incur higher business development and marketing expenses. In our Investment Management business, performance fees are typically higher in the fourth quarter, as the fourth
quarter represents the end of the measurement period for many of the performance fee-eligible relationships.

The results of our businesses may also be impacted by the translation of financial results denominated in foreign currencies to the U.S. dollar. We are primarily impacted by activities denominated in the British pound and the euro. On a consolidated basis and in our Investment Services business, we typically have more foreign currency denominatedcurrency-denominated expenses than revenues. However, our Investment

Management business typically has more foreign currency denominatedcurrency-denominated revenues than expenses. Overall, currency fluctuations impact the year-over-year growth rate in the Investment Management
business more than the Investment Services business. However, currency fluctuations, in isolation, are not expected to significantly impact net income on a consolidated basis.

Fee revenue in Investment Management, and to a lesser extent in Investment Services, is impacted by the value of market indices. At Sept. 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, we estimate that a 5% change in global equity markets, spread evenly throughout the year, would impact fee revenue by less than 1% and diluted earnings per common share by $0.02$0.03 to $0.04.
$0.05.

In the first quarter of 2018, we began presenting total revenue for each of the primary lines of business in our two principal businesses. Note 19 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements summarizes the products and services in each line of business and the primary types of revenue generated. We believe that the updated presentation provides investors a clearer picture of our business results and permits investors to view revenue on a basis consistent with management.

See Note 1819 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for the consolidating schedules which show the contribution of our businesses to our overall profitability.

Business description

Our Investment Management business consists of our affiliated investment management boutiques, Wealth Management business and global distribution companies. See pages 19 and 20 of our 2016 Annual Report for additional information on our Investment Management business.

Review of financial results

AUM increased 6% compared with Sept. 30, 2016 primarily reflecting higher market values, net inflows and the favorable impact of the weaker U.S. dollar (principally versus the British pound). The increase compared with June 30, 2017 primarily reflects the favorable impact of the weaker U.S. dollar (principally versus the British pound), higher market values and net inflows.

Net long-term inflows of fixed income and multi-asset and alternative investments were offset by outflows of index, equity and liability-driven investments in the third quarter of 2017. Net short-term inflows of $10 billion in the third quarter of 2017 were a result of increased distribution through our liquidity portals. Market and regulatory trends have driven investable assets toward investments in lower fee asset management products, which negatively impacted our investment management fees.

Total revenue increased 4% compared with the third quarter of 2016 and 1% (unannualized) compared with the second quarter of 2017. Both increases primarily reflect higher investment management and performance fees.

Revenue generated in the Investment Management business included 41% from non-U.S. sources in the


BNY Mellon 17


third quarter of 2017, compared with 40% in both the third quarter of 2016 and second quarter of 2017.

Investment management fees in the Investment Management business increased 4% compared with the third quarter of 2016 and 3% (unannualized) compared with the second quarter of 2017. Both increases primarily reflect higher equity market values and money market fees. The increase compared with the second quarter of 2017 also reflects the favorable impact of a weaker U.S. dollar.

Distribution and servicing fees increased compared with the third quarter of 2016 primarily reflecting higher money market fees.

Other revenue decreased compared with the third quarter of 2016 primarily reflecting higher payments to Investment Services related to higher money market fees.

Net interest revenue was unchanged compared with the third quarter of 2016 and decreased 6% (unannualized) compared with the second quarter of 2017. The decrease primarily reflects lower average deposits. Average loans increased 9% compared with the third quarter of 2016 and 1% compared with the second quarter of 2017. Average deposits decreased 21% compared with the third quarter of 2016 and 17% compared with the second quarter of 2017.

Noninterest expense, excluding amortization of intangible assets, increased 1% compared with the third quarter of 2016 and 1% (unannualized) compared with the second quarter of 2017. The increase compared with the third quarter of 2016 primarily reflects higher other and distribution and servicing expenses, partially offset by lower severance expense. The increase compared with the second quarter of 2017 primarily reflects higher distribution and servicing expense.

Year-to-date 2017 compared with year-to-date 2016

Income before taxes increased 22% compared with the first nine months of 2016, primarily reflecting revenue growth of 6%, partially offset by a 1% increase in noninterest expense, excluding amortization of intangible assets. Fee and other revenue increased 6% primarily reflecting higher investment management and performance fees. The increase in investment management and performance fees primarily reflects higher market values, money market fees and performance fees, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of a stronger U.S. dollar (principally versus the British pound). Net interest revenue increased 3% primarily due to higher interest rates and average loans, partially offset by lower average deposits. Noninterest expense, excluding amortization of intangible assets, increased 1% primarily reflecting higher incentives expense, driven by stronger performance, partially offset by the favorable impact of a stronger U.S. dollar (principally versus the British pound).

Role of BNY Mellon, as a trustee, for mortgage-backed securitizations

BNY Mellon acts as trusteemine opportunities from liquidity, financing, risk and document custodian for certain mortgage-backed security (“MBS”) securitization trusts. The role of trustee for MBS securitizations is limited; our primary role as trustee is to calculate and distribute monthly bond payments to bondholders. As a document custodian, we hold the mortgage, note, and related documents provided to us by the loan originator or seller and provide periodic reporting to these parties. BNY Mellon, either as document custodian or trustee, does not receive mortgage underwriting files (the files that contain information related to the creditworthiness of the borrower). As trustee or custodian, we have no responsibility or liability for the quality of the portfolio; we are liable only for performance of our limited duties as described above and in the trust documents. BNY Mellon is indemnified by the servicers or directly from trust assets under the governing agreements. BNY Mellon may appear as the named plaintiff in legal actions brought by servicers in foreclosure and other related proceedings because the trustee is the nominee owner of the mortgage loans within the trusts.

BNY Mellon also has been named as a defendant in legal actions brought by MBS investors alleging that the trustee has expansive duties under the governing agreements, including to investigate and pursue claims against other parties to the MBS transaction. For additional information on our legal proceedings related to this matter, see Note 17 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.balance sheet challenges.

Market and regulatory trends are driving investable assets toward lower fee asset management products at reduced margins for our clients. These dynamics are also negatively impacting our investment services fees. However, at the same time, these trends are providing additional outsourcing opportunities as clients and other market participants seek to comply with new regulations and reduce their operating costs.

Business description

Our Investment Management business consists of two lines of business, Asset Management and Wealth Management. The Asset Management business offers diversified investment management strategies and distribution of investment products. The Wealth Management business provides investment management, custody, wealth and estate planning and private banking services. See pages 19 and 20 of our 2017 Annual Report for additional information on our Investment Management business.

Review of financial results

AUM increased 8% compared with March 31, 2017 primarily reflecting the favorable impact of a weaker U.S. dollar (principally versus the British pound), higher market values and net inflows, partially offset by the divestiture of CenterSquare and other changes.

Net long-term inflows of $4 billion in the first quarter of 2018 were a result of $17 billion of inflows into actively managed strategies, primarily liability-driven and fixed income investments, and $13 billion of outflows from index strategies. Net short-term outflows were $14 billion in the first quarter of 2018. Market and regulatory trends have resulted in increased demand for lower fee asset management products, and for performance-based fees.

Total revenue of $1.1 billion increased 13% compared with the first quarter of 2017 and 4% (unannualized) compared with the fourth quarter of 2017.

Asset Management revenue of $770 million increased 16% compared with the first quarter of 2017 and 4% (unannualized) compared with the fourth quarter of 2017. Both increases primarily reflect higher equity market values, the favorable impact of a weaker U.S. dollar (principally versus the British pound) and the


16 BNY Mellon


impact of the sale of CenterSquare. The increase compared with the first quarter of 2017 also reflects higher performance fees due primarily to strong liability-driven investment and alternative investment performance. 

Wealth Management revenue of $318 million increased 5% compared with the first quarter of 2017 and 3% (unannualized) compared with the fourth quarter of 2017. Both increases primarily reflect higher equity market values. The increase compared with the first quarter of 2017 also reflects net new business, partially offset by lower net interest revenue due to lower deposit balances.

Revenue generated in the Investment Management business included 42% from non-U.S. sources in the first quarter of 2018, compared with 40% in the first quarter of 2017 and 42% in the fourth quarter of 2017.

Noninterest expense increased 3% compared with the first quarter of 2017, primarily reflecting the unfavorable impact of a weaker U.S. dollar. The 9% (unannualized) decrease compared with the fourth quarter of 2017 primarily reflects lower severance and incentive expense.

Noninterest expense decreased $20 million compared with the first quarter of 2017 and lower income from corporate/bank-owned life insurance, partially offset by higher net securities gains.

Net interest expense decreased $3$48 million compared with the third quarter of 2016 and $2 million compared with the secondfourth quarter of 2017. Both decreases primarily reflect higher interest rates.

Noninterest expense, excluding M&I and restructuring charges, decreased $11 million compared with the third quarter of 2016 and increased $49 million compared with the second quarter of 2017. The decrease was primarily driven by lower litigation and other expenses.

Consolidated balance sheet review

One of our key risk management objectives is to maintain a balance sheet that remains strong throughout market cycles to meet the expectations of our major stakeholders, including our shareholders, clients, creditors and regulators.

We also seek to ensureverify that the overall liquidity risk, including intra-dayintraday liquidity risk, that we undertake stays within our risk appetite. The objective of our balance sheet management strategy is to maintain a balance sheet that is characterized by strong liquidity and asset quality, ready access to external funding sources at competitive rates and a strong capital structure that supports our risk-taking activities and is adequate to absorb potential losses. In managing the balance sheet, appropriate consideration is given to balancing the competing needs of maintaining sufficient levels of liquidity and complying with applicable regulations and supervisory expectations while optimizing profitability.

Country risk exposure

We have exposure to certain countries with higher risk profiles. Exposure described below reflects the country of operations and risk of the immediate counterparty. We continue to monitor our exposure to these and other countries as part of our risk management process. See “Risk management” in our 20162017 Annual Report for additional information on how our exposures are managed.

BNY Mellon has a limited economic interest in the performance of assets of consolidated investment management funds, and therefore they are excluded from this disclosure.

Investment securities

In the discussion of our investment securities portfolio, we have included certain credit ratings information because the information can indicate the degree of credit risk to which we are exposed. Significant changes in ratings classifications for our investment securities portfolio could indicate increased credit risk for us and could be accompanied by a reduction in the fair value of our investment securities portfolio.

On a quarterly basis, we perform our impairment analysis using several factors, including projected loss severities and default rates. In the thirdfirst quarter of 2017,2018, this analysis resulted in other-than-temporary credit losses of less than $1 million, primarily in our non-agency RMBS portfolio. At Sept. 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, if we were to increase or decrease each of our projected loss severity and default rates by 100 basis points on each of the positions in our non-agency RMBS
portfolio, including the securities previously held by the Grantor Trust, credit-related impairment charges on these securities would have increased or decreased by less than $1 million (pre-tax). See Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for the projected weighted-average default rates and loss severities.

Financial institution exposures are high-quality, with 93% of the exposures meeting the investment grade equivalent criteria of our internal credit rating classification at Sept. 30, 2017.March 31, 2018. Each customer is assigned an internal credit rating, which is mapped to
an equivalent external rating agency grade based upon a number of dimensions, which are continually evaluated and may change over time. The exposure to financial institutions is generally short-term. Of
these exposures, 86% expire within one year and 61%23% expire within 90 days. In addition, 80%77% of the financial institutions exposure is secured. For example, securities industry clients and asset managers often borrow against marketable securities held in custody.

Net recoveries were $1 million in the third quarter of 2017 and second quarter of 2017. Net recoveries in the third quarter of 2016 of $13 million were recorded in the financial institutions portfolio.

The provision for credit losses was a credit of $6 million in the third quarter of 2017, a credit of $7 million in the second quarter of 2017 and a credit of $19 million in the third quarter of 2016.

The total allowance for credit losses was $265decreased $5 million at Sept. 30, 2017, $281 million atcompared with Dec. 31, 20162017 and $274$20 million at Sept. 30, 2016.

The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to non-margin loans was 0.36% at Sept. 30, 2017, 0.36% at Dec. 31, 2016 and 0.31% at Sept. 30, 2016.losses.

We had $13.9$15.1 billion of secured margin loans on our balance sheet at Sept. 30, 2017March 31, 2018 compared with $17.6$15.8 billion at Dec. 31, 20162017 and $17.6$16.1 billion at Sept. 30, 2016.March 31, 2017. We have rarely suffered a loss on these types of loans and do not allocate any of our allowance for credit losses to them. As a result, we believe that the ratio of total allowance for credit losses as a percentage of non-margin loans is a more appropriate metric to measure the adequacy of the reserve.

The allowance for loan losses and allowance for lending-related commitments represent management’s estimate of probable losses inherent in our credit portfolio. This evaluation process is subject to numerous estimates and judgments. For additional information on this process, see “Critical
accounting estimates” in our 2016 Annual Report. To the extent actual results differ from forecasts or management’s judgment, the allowance for credit losses may be greater or less than future charge-offs.

Based on an evaluation of the allowance for credit losses as discussed in “Critical accounting estimates” and Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, both in our 20162017 Annual Report, we have allocated our allowance for credit losses as follows.

The credit rating assigned to each credit is a significant variable in determining the allowance. If each credit were rated one grade better, the allowance would have decreased by $65$62 million, while if each credit were rated one grade worse, the allowance would have increased by $109$104 million. Similarly, if the loss given default were one rating worse, the

allowance would have increased by $41$40 million, while if the loss given default were one rating better, the allowance would have decreased by $29$28 million. For impaired credits, if the net carrying value of the
loans was 10% higher or lower, the allowance would have decreased or increased by less than $1 million, respectively.

Short-term borrowings

We fund ourselves primarily through deposits and, to a lesser extent, other short-term borrowings and long-term debt. Short-term borrowings consist of federal funds purchased and securities sold under repurchase agreements, payables to customers and broker-dealers, commercial paper and other borrowed funds. Certain other borrowings, for example, securities sold under repurchase agreements, require the delivery of securities as collateral.

See “Liquidity and dividends” for a discussion of long-term debt and liquidity metrics that we monitor.

Other borrowed funds primarily include borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”), overdrafts of sub-custodian account balances in our Investment Services businesses, capital lease obligations and borrowings under lines of credit by our Pershing subsidiaries. Overdrafts typically relate to timing differences for settlements. The increasedecrease in other borrowed funds balances compared with both prior periodsDec. 31, 2017 primarily reflects lower borrowings from the FHLB. The increase in other borrowed funds compared with Sept. 30, 2016 alsoMarch 31, 2017 primarily reflects borrowings from the FHLB and an increase in capital lease obligations
as a result of converting an operating lease to a capital lease.

Liquidity and dividends

BNY Mellon defines liquidity as the ability of the Parent and its subsidiaries to access funding or convert assets to cash quickly and efficiently, or to rolloverroll over or issue new debt, especially during periods of market stress, at a reasonable cost and in order to meet its short-term (up to one year) obligations. Funding liquidity risk is the risk that BNY Mellon cannot meet its cash and collateral obligations at a reasonable cost for both expected and unexpected cash flow and collateral needs without adversely affecting daily operations or our financial condition. Funding liquidity risk can arise from funding mismatches, market constraints from the inability to convert assets to cash, the inability to hold or raise cash, low overnight deposits, deposit run-off or contingent liquidity events.

We also manage liquidity risks on an intra-dayintraday basis. Intraday liquidity risk is the risk that BNY Mellon cannot access funds during the business day to make payments or settle immediate obligations, usually in real time. Intraday liquidity risk can arise from timing mismatches, market constraints from an inability to convert assets to cash, an inability to raise cash intraday, low overnight deposits and/or adverse stress events.

Changes in economic conditions or exposure to credit, market, operational, legal and reputational risks also can affect BNY Mellon’s liquidity risk profile and are considered in our liquidity risk framework.

The Parent’s policy is to have access to sufficient unencumbered cash and cash equivalents at each quarter-end to cover forecasted debt redemptions, net interest payments and net tax payments for the following 18-month period, and to provide sufficient collateral to satisfy transactions subject to Section 23A of the Federal Reserve Act. As of Sept. 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, the Parent was in compliance with this policy. For additional information on our liquidity policy, see “Risk Management - Liquidity risk” in our 20162017 Annual Report. Our overall approach to liquidity management is further described in “Liquidity and dividends” in our 20162017 Annual Report.

A significant reduction in our Investment Services business would reduce our access to deposits. See
“Asset/ “Asset/liability management” for additional factors that could impact our deposit balances.

Sources of liquidity

In the second quarter of 2017, we entered into a support agreement with certain key subsidiaries to facilitate the provision of capital and liquidity resources in the event of material financial distress or failure. Pursuant to the support agreement, the Parent transferred its intercompany loans and most of its cash to our intermediate holding company (“IHC”), and will continue to transfer cash and other liquid financial assets to the IHC, subject to certain amounts retained by the Parent to meet its near-term cash needs. In connection with the initial transfer, the IHC issued unsecured subordinated funding notes to the Parent. The IHC has also provided the Parent with a committed line of credit that allows the Parent to draw funds necessary to service near-term obligations. The Parent’s and the IHC’s obligations under the support agreement are secured.
The Parent’s three major sources of liquidity are access to the debt and equity markets, dividends from its subsidiaries, and cash on hand and cash otherwise made available in business-as-usual circumstances to the Parent through a committed credit facility with our IHC.intermediate holding company (“IHC”).

The Parent had cash of $416 million$1.4 billion at Sept. 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, compared with $8.7 billion$451 million at Dec. 31, 2016, a decrease2017, an increase of $8.3 billion,$977 million, primarily reflecting the transfer of cash to the IHC pursuant to the support agreement.

The double leverage ratio is the ratio of our equity investment in subsidiaries divided by our consolidated parent company equity, which includes our noncumulative perpetual preferred stock. In short, the double leverage ratio measures the extent to which equity in subsidiaries is financed by Parent company debt. As the double leverage ratio increases, this can reflect greater demands on a company’s cash flows in order to service interest payments and debt maturities. BNY Mellon’s double leverage ratio is managed in a range considering the


BNY Mellon 35


high level of unencumbered available liquid assets held in its principal subsidiaries (such as central bank deposits and government securities), the Company’s cash generating fee-based business model, with feesfee revenue representing approximately 80%79% of total revenue in the first quarter of 2018, and the dividend capacity of our banking subsidiaries. Our double leverage ratio was 123.2%121.1% at Sept. 30, 2017March 31, 2018 and 119.1%122.5% at Dec. 31, 2016,2017, and within the range targeted by management.

Uses of funds

The Parent’s major uses of funds are payment of dividends, repurchases of common stock, principal and interest payments on its borrowings, acquisitions and additional investments in its subsidiaries.

In August 2017, aFebruary 2018, our quarterly cash dividend was paid to common shareholders ofwas $0.24 per common share. Our common stock dividend payout ratio was 23%22% for the first ninethree months of 2017.2018. The Federal Reserve’s instructions for the 2017 CCAR provided2018 Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review (“CCAR”) provide that, for large bank holding companies (“BHCs”) like us, dividend payout ratios exceeding 30% of after-tax net income wouldwill receive particularly close scrutiny.

In the third quarterfirst three months of 2017,2018, we repurchased 1211 million common shares at an average price of $52.74$56.23 per common share for a total cost of $650$644 million.

Liquidity coverage ratio

U.S. regulators have established an LCR that requires certain banking organizations, including BNY Mellon, to maintain a minimum amount of unencumbered high qualityhigh-quality liquid assets (“HQLA”) sufficient to withstand the net cash outflow under a hypothetical standardized acute liquidity stress scenario for a 30-day time horizon.

The following table presents the consolidated HQLA at Sept. 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, and the average HQLA and average LCR for the thirdfirst quarter of 2017.2018.

The U.S. LCR rule became fully phased-in on Jan. 1, 2017 and requires BNY Mellon and each of our affected domestic bank subsidiaries to meet an LCR of at least 100%. The LCR for BNY Mellon and each of our domestic bank subsidiaries waswere compliant with the U.S. LCR requirements forthroughout the third quarterfirst three months of 2017. For additional information on the LCR, see “Supervision and Regulation - Liquidity Standards - Basel III and U.S. Rules and Proposals” in our 2016 Annual Report.2018.

We also perform liquidity stress tests (“LSTs”) to evaluate whether the Company maintains sufficient liquidity resources under multiple stress scenarios. Stress testsLSTs are based on scenarios that measure liquidity risks under unlikely but plausible conditions. We perform these tests under various time horizons ranging from one day to one year in a base case, as well as supplemental tests to determine whether the Company’s liquidity is sufficient for severe market events and firm-specific events. Under our scenario testing program,Our LST framework includes a test known as the results of the tests indicate that the Company has sufficient liquidity.

As part of our resolution planning, we monitor, among other measures, our Resolution Liquidity Adequacy and Positioning (“RLAP”). The RLAP methodologies aretest is designed to ensure that the liquidity needs of certain key subsidiaries in a stress environment can be met by available resources held at the entity or at the Parent or IHC, as applicable. Under our scenario testing program, the results of the tests indicate that the Company has sufficient liquidity.

The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation total shareholders’ equity increased to $40.5$41.7 billion at Sept. 30, 2017March 31, 2018 from $38.8$41.3 billion at Dec. 31, 2016.2017. The increase primarily reflects earnings, the impact of incentives and employee-related activity and foreign
currency translation adjustments, $638 million resulting from stock awards, the exercise of stock options and stock issued for employee benefit plans, and the unrealized gain in our investment securities portfolio, partially offset by share repurchases and dividends.

Capital adequacy

Regulators establish certain levels of capital for bank holding companiesBHCs and banks, including BNY Mellon and our bank subsidiaries, in accordance with established quantitative measurements. For the Parent to maintain its status as a financial holding company, our U.S. bank subsidiaries and BNY Mellon must, among other things, qualify as “well capitalized.”

As of Sept. 30, 2017March 31, 2018 and Dec. 31, 2016, 2017, BNY Mellon and our U.S. bank subsidiaries were “well capitalized.”

Failure to satisfy regulatory standards, including “well capitalized” status or capital adequacy rules more generally, could result in limitations on our activities and adversely affect our financial condition.
See the discussion of these matters in “Supervision and Regulation - Regulated Entities of BNY Mellon and Ancillary Regulatory Requirements” and “Risk Factors - Operational Risk - Failure to satisfy regulatory standards, including “well capitalized” and “well managed” status or capital adequacy and liquidity rules more generally, could result in limitations on our activities and adversely affect our business and financial condition” in our 20162017 Annual Report.

The “well capitalized” and other capital categories (where applicable), as established by applicable regulations for bank holding companies and depository institutions, have been established by those regulations solely for purposes of implementing their respective requirements (for example, eligibility for financial holding company status in the case of bank holding companies and prompt corrective action measures in the case of depository institutions). A bank holding company’s or depository institution’s qualification for a capital category may not constitute an accurate representation of the entity’s overall financial condition or prospects.

The U.S. banking agencies’ capital rules are based on the framework adopted by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (“BCBS”), as amended from time to time. For additional information on these capital requirements, see “Supervision and Regulation” in our 20162017 Annual Report. BNY Mellon is subject to the U.S. capital rules, which are being gradually phased-in over a multi-year period through Jan. 1, 2019. The phase-in requirements for capital were completed on Jan. 1, 2018.

Our estimated CET1 and SLR ratios on a fully phased-in basis are based on our current interpretation of the U.S. capital rules. Our risk-based capital adequacy is determined using the higher of risk-weighted assets (“RWAs”) determined using the Advanced Approach and Standardized Approach.

(c)
For our CET1, Tier 1 capital and Total capital ratios, our effective capital ratios under U.S. capital rules are the lower of the ratios as calculated under the Standardized and Advanced Approaches. The Tier 1 leverage capital ratio is based on Tier 1 capital as phased-in and quarterly average total assets.
(c)
The Federal Reserve’s regulations do not establish well capitalized thresholds for these measures for bank holding companies.
(d)
The SLR does not become a binding measure until the first quarter of 2018. The SLR is based on Tier 1 capital, as phased-in, and average quarterly assets and certain off-balance sheet exposures.

Fully phased-in Basel III minimum with expected buffers. See page 4135 for the capital ratios with the phase-in of the capital conservation buffer and the U.S. G-SIB surcharge, as well as the introduction of the SLR buffer.
(e)
The Federal Reserve’s regulations do not establish well capitalized thresholds for these measures for BHCs.
(f)
SLR became a binding measure on Jan. 1, 2018. The SLR is based on Tier 1 capital and total leverage exposure, which includes certain off-balance sheet exposures.


Our CET1 ratio determined under the Advanced Approach was 11.1%10.7% at Sept. 30, 2017March 31, 2018 and 10.6%10.7%, on a transitional basis, at Dec. 31, 2016.2017. The increase primarily reflects CET1 generation, partiallyratio was unchanged reflecting capital generated through earnings and additional paid-in capital resulting from stock awards, offset by the additionalfinal phase-in requirements under the U.S. capital rules that became effective Jan. 1, 2017.

Our estimated CET1 ratio (Non-GAAP) calculated underand the Advanced Approach on a fully phased-in basis was 10.7% at Sept. 30, 2017capital deployed through common stock repurchased and 9.7% at Dec. 31, 2016. The increase primarily reflects CET1 generation. Our estimated CET1 ratio (Non-GAAP) calculated under the Standardized Approach on a

The estimated fully phased-in SLR (Non-GAAP) ofwas 5.9% at March 31, 2018 and 6.1% at Sept. 30, 2017 and 5.6%, on a transitional basis, at Dec. 31, 2016 was based on our interpretation of the U.S. capital rules, as supplemented by the Federal Reserve’s final rules on the SLR. BNY Mellon will be subject to an enhanced SLR, which will require a buffer in excess of 2% over the minimum SLR of 3%. The insured depository institution subsidiaries of the U.S. global systemically important banks (“G-SIBs”), including


BNY Mellon 39


those of BNY Mellon, must maintain a 6% SLR to be considered “well capitalized.”2017.

For additional information on the U.S. capital rules, see “Supervision and Regulation - Capital Requirements - Generally” in our 20162017 Annual Report.Report and “Recent regulatory developments” in this report.

The Advanced Approach capital ratios are significantly impacted by RWAs for operational risk.
Our operational loss risk model is informed by external losses, including fines and penalties levied against institutions in the financial services industry, particularly those that relate to businesses in which we operate, and as a result external losses have impacted and could in the future impact the amount of capital that we are required to hold.

Management views the estimated fully phased-in CET1 and other risk-based capital ratios and SLR as key measures in monitoring BNY Mellon’s capital position and progress against future regulatory capital standards. Additionally, the presentation of the estimated fully phased-in CET1 and other risk-based capital ratios and SLR are intended to allow investors to compare these ratios with estimates presented by other companies.

Our capital ratios are necessarily subject to, among other things, anticipated compliance with all necessary enhancements to model calibration, approval by regulators of certain models used as part of RWA calculations, other refinements, further implementation guidance from regulators, market practices and standards and any changes BNY Mellon may make to its businesses. As a consequence of these factors, our capital ratios may materially change, and may be volatile over time and from period to period.

Minimum capital ratios and capital buffers

The U.S. capital rules include a series of buffers and surcharges over required minimums that apply to bank holding companies,BHCs, including BNY Mellon, which are being phased-in over time. Banking organizations with a risk-based ratio or SLR above the minimum required level, but with a risk-based ratio or SLR below the minimum level with buffers
will face constraints on dividends, equity repurchases and discretionary executive compensation based on the amount of the shortfall. Different regulatory capital minimums, buffers and surcharges apply to our banking subsidiaries.

The U.S. capital rules introduced a capital conservation buffer and countercyclical capital buffer that add to the minimum regulatory capital ratios. The capital conservation buffer–1.25% for 2017 and 2.5% when fully phased-in on Jan. 1, 2019–is designed to absorb losses during periods of economic stress and applies to all banking organizations. During periods of excessive growth, the capital conservation buffer may be expanded through the imposition of a countercyclical capital buffer that may be as high as an additional 2.5%. The countercyclical capital buffer, when applicable, applies only to Advanced Approach banking organizations. The countercyclical capital buffer is currently set to zero with respect to U.S. exposures, but it could increase if the banking agencies determine that systemic vulnerabilities are meaningfully above normal.

BNY Mellon is subject to an additional G-SIB surcharge, which is implemented as an extension of the capital conservation buffer and must be satisfied with CET1 capital. For 2017, the G-SIB surcharge applicable to BNY Mellon is 0.75%, and, when fully phased-in on Jan. 1, 2019, as calculated, applying metrics as currently applicable to BNY Mellon, would be 1.5%.

The following table presents the principal minimum capital ratio requirements with buffers and surcharges, as phased-in, applicable to the Parent and The Bank of New York Mellon. This table does not include the imposition of a countercyclical capital buffer. The U.S. capital rules also provide for transitional arrangements for qualifying instruments, deductions and adjustments, which are not reflected in this table. Buffers and surcharges are not applicable to the Tier 1 leverage capital ratio. These buffers, other than the SLR buffer, and surcharge began to phase-in on Jan. 1, 2016 and will be fully implemented on Jan. 1, 2019.

Capital ratios vary depending on the size of the balance sheet at quarter-end and the levels and types of investments in assets. The balance sheet size fluctuates from quarter to quarter based on levels of customer and market activity. In general, when servicing clients are more actively trading securities, deposit balances and the balance sheet as a whole are higher. In addition, when markets experience significant volatility or stress, our balance sheet size may increase considerably as client deposit levels increase.

Supplementary Leverage Ratio

BNY Mellon has presented its consolidated and largest bank subsidiary’s estimated fully phased-in SLRs based on its interpretation of the U.S. capital rules, which are being gradually phased-in over a multi-year period and on the application of such rules to BNY Mellon’s businesses as currently conducted.

(b)The estimated fully phased-in SLR (Non-GAAP) is based on our interpretation of the U.S. capital rules. When the SLR is fully phased-in in 2018 as a required minimum ratio, we expect to maintain an SLR of over 5%. The minimum required SLR is 3% and there is a 2% buffer, in addition to the minimum, that is applicable to U.S. G-SIBs. The insured depository institution subsidiaries of the U.S. G-SIBs, including those of BNY Mellon, must maintain a 6% SLR to be considered “well-capitalized.”


Trading activities and risk management

Our trading activities are focused on acting as a market-maker for our customers, facilitating customer trades and risk mitigating hedging in compliance with the Volcker Rule. The risk from market-making activities for customers is managed by our traders and limited in total exposure through a system of position limits, value-at-risk (“VaR”) methodology and other market sensitivity measures. VaR is the potential loss in value due to adverse market movements over a defined time horizon with a specified confidence level. The calculation of our VaR used by management and presented below assumes a one-day holding period, utilizes a 99% confidence level, and incorporates non-linear product characteristics. VaR
facilitates comparisons across portfolios of different risk characteristics. VaR also captures the
diversification of aggregated risk at the firm widefirm-wide level.

VaR represents a key risk management measure and it is important to note the inherent limitations to VaR, which include:

VaR does not estimate potential losses over longer time horizons where moves may be extreme;
VaR does not take account of potential variability of market liquidity; and
Previous moves in market risk factors may not produce accurate predictions of all future market moves.

See Note 1617 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on the VaR methodology.



44 BNY Mellon


In an effort to improve our enterprise level risk management capabilities, we have changed our VaR model from Monte Carlo simulation to historical simulation for both management and RWA calculations. This change was effective as of Jan. 1, 2017. In addition to this model enhancement, the impact of credit valuation adjustment (“CVA”) is now included.

The following tables indicate the calculated VaR amounts for the trading portfolio for the designated periods using the newly implemented historical simulation VaR model. The impact of changes in methodology is not material.

The interest rate component of VaR represents instruments whose values predominantly vary with the level or volatility of interest rates. These instruments include, but are not limited to: sovereign debt, swaps, swaptions, forward rate agreements, exchange-traded futures and options, and other interest rate derivative products.

The foreign exchange component of VaR represents instruments whose values predominantly vary with the level or volatility of currency exchange rates or interest rates. These instruments include, but are not limited to: currency balances, spot and forward transactions, currency options, exchange-traded futures and options, and other currency derivative products.

The equity component of VaR consists of instruments that represent an ownership interest in the form of domestic and foreign common stock or other equity-linked instruments. These instruments include, but are not limited to: common stock, exchange-traded funds, preferred stock, listed equity options (puts and calls), over-the-counter (“OTC”) equity options, equity total return swaps, equity index futures and other equity derivative products.

The credit component of VaR represents instruments whose values predominantly vary with the credit worthiness of counterparties. These instruments include, but are not limited to, credit derivatives (credit default swaps and exchange-traded credit index instruments) and exposures from corporate credit spreads, and mortgage prepayments. Credit derivatives are used to hedge various credit exposures.

The diversification component of VaR is the risk reduction benefit that occurs when combining portfolios and offsetting positions, and from the correlated behavior of risk factor movements.

During the thirdfirst quarter of 2017,2018, interest rate risk generated 37% of average gross VaR, foreign exchange risk generated 42%44% of average gross VaR, equity risk accounted for 10%7% of average gross VaR and credit risk generated 11%12% of average gross VaR. During the thirdfirst quarter of 2017,2018, our daily trading loss did not exceedexceeded our calculated VaR amount of the overall portfolio.portfolio on one occasion.

Trading assets include debt and equity instruments and derivative assets, primarily interest rate and foreign exchange contracts, not designated as hedging instruments. Trading assets were $4.7$8.6 billion at Sept. 30, 2017March 31, 2018 and $5.7$6.0 billion atDec. 31, 2016.2017. The increase was impacted by the reclassification of money market fund investments of approximately $1 billion primarily from available-for-sale securities.

Trading liabilities include debt and equity instruments and derivative liabilities, primarily interest rate and
foreign exchange contracts, not designated as hedging instruments. Trading liabilities were $3.3$3.4 billion at Sept. 30, 2017March 31, 2018 and $4.4$4.0 billion at Dec. 31, 2016.2017.

We reflect external credit ratings as well as observable credit default swap spreads for both ourselves and our counterparties when measuring the fair value of our derivative positions. Accordingly, the valuation of our derivative positions is sensitive to the current changes in our own credit spreads, as well as those of our counterparties.

At Sept. 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, our OTC derivative assets, including those in hedging relationships, of $3.6$2.7 billion included a CVAcredit valuation adjustment (“CVA”) deduction of $30$23 million. Our OTC derivative liabilities, including those in hedging relationships, of $3.2$2.4 billion included a debit valuation adjustment (“DVA”) of $2 million related to our own credit spread.

In the third2017 and first quarter of 2016, net of hedges, the CVA decreased by $8 million and the DVA decreased by $4 million. The net impact of these adjustments increased foreign exchange and other trading revenue by $4 million in the third quarter of 2016.2017.

The table below summarizes the risk ratings for our foreign exchange and interest rate derivative counterparty credit exposure during the past five quarters. This information indicates the degree of risk to which we are exposed. Significant changes in ratings classifications for our foreign exchange and other trading activity could result in increased risk for us.

Asset/liability management

Our diversified business activities include processing securities, accepting deposits, investing in securities, lending, raising money as needed to fund assets and other transactions. The market risks from these activities areinclude interest rate risk and foreign exchange risk. Our primary market risk is exposure to movements in U.S. dollar interest rates and certain foreign currency interest rates. We actively manage interest rate sensitivity and use earnings simulation and discounted cash flow models to identify interest rate exposures.

An earnings simulation model is the primary tool used to assess changes in pre-tax net interest revenue. The model incorporates management’s assumptions regarding interest rates, balance changes on core deposits, market spreads, changes in the prepayment behavior of loans and securities and the impact of
derivative financial instruments used for interest rate risk management purposes. These assumptions have been developed through a combination of historical analysis and future expected pricing behavior and are inherently uncertain. As a result, the earnings simulation model cannot precisely estimate net interest revenue or the impact of higher or lower interest rates on net interest revenue. Actual results may differ materially from projected results due to timing, magnitude and frequency of interest rate changes, and changes in market conditions and management’s strategies, among other factors.

TheIn the table below, relies on certain critical assumptions regardingwe use the balance sheet and depositors’ behavior relatedearnings simulation model to interest rate fluctuations and the prepayment and extension risk in certain of our assets. Generally, there has been an inverse relationship between interest rates and client deposit levels. To the extent that actual behavior is different from that assumed in the models, there could be a change in interest rate sensitivity.

We evaluate the effect on earnings by runningrun various interest rate ramp scenarios from a baseline scenario. The interest rate ramp scenarios are reviewed to examine the impact of large interest rate movements. In each scenario, all currenciescurrencies’ interest rates are shifted higher or lower. The baseline scenario is based on our quarter-end balance sheet and the spot yield curve. The 100 basis point ramp scenario assumes rates increase 25 basis points above the yield curve in each of the next four quarters and the 200 basis point ramp scenario assumes a 50 basis point per quarter increase. Interest rate sensitivity is quantified by calculating the change in pre-tax net interest revenue between the scenarios over a 12-month measurement period.

The baseline scenario used forIn the calculations infirst quarter of 2018, we changed the estimated changes in net interest revenue table above as of Sept. 30, 2017, June 30, 2017, March 31, 2017 and Dec. 31, 2016 arebased on our quarter-end balance sheet and the spot yield curve. The baseline scenario used for Sept. 30, 2016 was based on implied forward yield curves. We revised the
methodology as of Dec. 31, 2016 as we believe using the spot yield curve for the baseline scenario provides a more accurate reflection of net interest revenue sensitivity givenmethodology to assume static deposit levels. Previously, our sensitivities included assumptions about deposit runoff which were difficult to predict. Prior period results have been restated to conform to the recent increase in short-term interest rates and the implied forward rates. Because interest rates and the implied forward yield curves were lower in prior periods, the impact of using a
current methodology.


BNY Mellon 47


spot yield curve versus an implied forward yield curve was not as significant. The 100 basis point ramp scenario assumes rates increase 25 basis points aboveTo illustrate the yield curve in each of the next four quarters and the 200 basis point ramp scenario assumes a 50 basis point per quarter increase.

Our net interest revenue sensitivity table above incorporates assumptions aboutto deposit runoff, we note that a $5 billion reduction of U.S. dollar denominated non-interest bearing deposits would reduce the impact of changes innet interest rates on depositor behavior based on historical experience. Given the current historically low interest rate environment and the potential change to the implementation of monetary policy, the impact of depositor behavior is highly uncertain. The lowerrevenue sensitivity results in the ramp up 100 basis point and 200 basis point scenario compared with the 100 basis point scenario is driven by the assumption of increased deposit runoff and forecasted changesscenarios in the deposit pricing.table above by approximately $120 million and approximately $150 million, respectively. The impact would be smaller if the runoff was assumed to be a mixture of interest-bearing and noninterest-bearing deposits.

Growth or contraction of deposits could also be affected by the following factors:

Monetary policy;
Global economic uncertainty;
Our ratings relative to other financial institutions’ ratings; and
Regulatory reform.

Any of these events could change our assumptions about depositordepositors’ behavior and have a significant impact on our balance sheet and net interest revenue.

Off-balance sheet arrangements

Off-balance sheet arrangements discussed in this section are limited to guarantees, retained or contingent interests and obligations arising out of unconsolidated variable interest entities (“VIEs”). For BNY Mellon, these items include certain credit guarantees and a securitization.guarantees. Guarantees include lending-related guaranteesSBLCs issued as part of our corporate banking business and securities lending indemnifications issued as part of our Investment Services business.

Supplemental information - Explanation of GAAP and Non-GAAP financial measures

BNY Mellon has included in this Form 10-Q certain Non-GAAP financial measures based on estimated fully phased-in CET1 and other risk-based capital ratios, the estimated fully phased-in SLR anda tangible basis, as a supplement to GAAP information. Tangible common shareholders’ equity. BNY Mellon believes that the CET1 and other risk-based capital ratios, on a fully phased-in basis, and the SLR, on a fully phased-in basis, are measures of capital strength that provide additional useful information to investors, supplementing the capital ratios which are, or were, required by regulatory authorities. The tangible common shareholders’ equity ratio, which excludes goodwill and intangible assets, net of deferred tax liabilities, includes changes in investment securities valuations which are reflected in total shareholders’ equity.liabilities. BNY Mellon believes that the return on tangible common equity measure is an additional useful measure for investors because it presents a measure of those assets that can generate income. BNY Mellon has provided a measure of tangible book value per common share, which it believes provides additional useful information as to the level of tangible assets in relation to shares of common stock outstanding.

BNY Mellon has presented revenue measures, which excludeThe presentation of the effectgrowth rates of noncontrolling interests related to consolidated investment management funds, and expense measures, which exclude amortization of intangible assets and M&I, litigation and restructuring charges. Operating margin, operating leverage and returnperformance fees on equity measures, whicha constant

Growth rates on a constant currency basis were determined by applying the recovery relatedcurrent period foreign currency exchange rates to Sentinel, are also presented. Operating margin measures may also exclude the provision for credit losses and distribution and servicing expense.prior period revenue. 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. M&I expenses primarily relate to acquisitions and generally continue for approximately three years after the transaction. 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 streamlining actions and Operational Excellence Initiatives. Excluding the charges mentioned above permits investors to view expenses on a basis consistent with how management views the business.

Thethis presentation, of income from consolidated investment management funds, net of net income attributable to noncontrolling interests related to the consolidation of certain investment management funds, permits investors to view revenue on a basis consistent with how management views the business. BNY Mellon believes that these presentations, as a supplement to GAAP information, givegives investors a clearer picture of the related revenue results of its primary businesses.without the variability caused by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.

EachBNY Mellon has presented the operating margin for the Investment Management business net of these measures as described abovedistribution and servicing expense that is used by managementpassed to monitor financialthird parties who distribute or service our managed funds.

Recent accounting and regulatory developments

Recently issued accounting standards

The following Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”)ASUs issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) have not yet been adopted.

ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging: Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities

In August 2017, the FASB issued an ASU, Derivatives and Hedging: Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities. The objective of this ASU is to improve the financial reporting of hedging relationships to better portray the economic results of an entity’s risk management activities and to simplify the application of hedge accounting guidance.

The most significant impact of the new guidance to the Company relates to the new accounting alternatives for fair value hedges of interest rate risk, specifically, the ability to hedge only the benchmark component of the contractual cash flows, partial-term hedging and the introduction of the “last of layer” method for hedges of portfolios of prepayable financial assets. The guidance also changed presentation and disclosure requirements and made changes to how the shortcut method is applied which may result in the Company using that method going forward for certain hedging relationships.

This ASU is effective for the first quarter of 2019, with early adoption permitted. Certain transition elections are available including the ability to reclassify a debt security from held-to-maturity to available-for-sale if it is eligible to be hedged under the last of layer method with any unrealized gain or loss at the transfer date being recorded in other comprehensive income. If this ASU is adopted early, the new guidance will be applicable as of the beginning of that year. BNY Mellon is currently assessing the impacts of the new standard.

ASU 2017-07, Compensation-Retirement Benefits - Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost

In March 2017, the FASB issued an ASU, Compensation-Retirement Benefits - Improving the
Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost. The ASU requires the disaggregation of the service cost component from the other components of the net benefit cost in the income statement. The ASU also permits only the service cost component of net benefit cost to be eligible for capitalization. The ASU is effective for the first quarter of 2018, with early adoption permitted. The guidance in this ASU should be applied retrospectively for the presentation of the service cost component and the other components in the income statement, and prospectively for the capitalization of the service cost component in assets. BNY Mellon is assessing the impacts of the new standard. For information on the components of our pension and post-retirement health plan costs, see Note 9 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q and Note 16 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2016 Annual Report.  To the extent that our recent trend of having a net credit for pension and other post-retirement costs continues, the standard will result in an increase to staff expense and a reduction in other expense.

ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows Restricted Cash

In November 2016, the FASB issued an ASU, Statement of Cash Flows – Restricted Cash. This ASU provides guidance on the presentation of restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows and is effective for the first quarter of 2018. Earlier application is permitted. BNY Mellon is assessing the impacts of the new standard, and expects to include restricted cash (which totaled $4 billion as of Sept. 30, 2017) with cash and due from banks when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows.

ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments

In August 2016, the FASB issued an ASU, Statement of Cash Flows – Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. This ASU provides guidance on eight specific cash flow presentation issues and is effective for the first quarter of 2018. Earlier application is permitted, however all of the amendments must be adopted in the same period. BNY Mellon is assessing the impacts of the new


BNY Mellon 53


standard, and does not expect this ASU to materially affect the results of operations or financial condition.

ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments Credit Losses

In June 2016, the FASB issued an ASU, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses. This ASU introduces a new current expected credit losses model, which will apply to financial assets subject to credit losses and measured at amortized cost, including held-to-maturity securities and certain off-balance sheet credit exposures. The guidance will also change current practice for the impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities. The available-for-sale debt securities model will require the use of an allowance to record estimated credit losses and subsequent recoveries. This ASU is effective for the first quarter of 2020. Earlier application is permitted beginning with the first quarter of 2019. BNY Mellon has begun its implementation efforts and is currently identifying key interpretive issues, and will assess existing credit loss forecasting models and processes against the new guidance to determine what modifications may be required. The extent of the impact to our financial statements upon adoption depends on several factors including the remaining expected life of financial instruments at the time of adoption, the establishment of an allowance for expected credit loss on held-to-maturity securities, and the macroeconomic conditions and forecasts that exist at that date.

ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This ASU, as amended, provides guidance on the recognition of revenue related to the transfer of promised goods or services to customers, guidance on accounting for certain contract costs and additional disclosure requirements about revenue and contract costs. The standard supersedes most existing revenue recognition guidance and is effective for the first quarter of 2018 using either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method upon adoption.

The Company has completed its evaluation of the potential impact of this guidance on our accounting policies, and based on that evaluation, the timing of most of our revenue recognition will remain the same and the impacts will not be material. The impacts primarily relate to deferring and amortizing certain
sales commission costs related to obtaining customer contracts and the timing of recognizing the contra revenue related to certain payments made to customers. The Company plans to adopt the guidance as of Jan. 1, 2018 using the cumulative effect transition method. The Company is currently developing the disclosures required about revenue and contract costs and finalizing changes to internal control.

ASU 2016-02, Leases

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases. The primary objective of this ASU is to increase transparency and comparability by recognizing lease assets and liabilities on the balance sheet and expand related disclosures. ASU 2016-02 requires a “right-of-use” asset and a payment obligation liability on the balance sheet for most leases and subleases. Additionally, depending on the lease classification under the standard, it may result in different expense recognition patterns and classification than under existing accounting principles. For leases classified as finance leases, it will result in higher expense recognition in the earlier periods and lower expense in the later periods of the lease.

The standard is effective for the first quarter of 2019, with early adoption permitted. We will utilizeAs permitted under a recently approved ASU, we expect to elect the modified retrospectivealternative transition approach asmethod which allows for the recognition of the beginning of the earliest period presented, which will result inleases using a cumulative effect recordedadjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the earliest period presented. Additionally,of adoption of the standard allows for various optional practical expedients to assist with the implementation and reporting requirements.standard. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of the leasing standard on our consolidated financial statements and evaluating the practical expedients that may be elected. Upon adoption, the implementation of the leasing standard is expected to result in an immaterial increase in both assets and liabilities.

ASU 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement2018-02, Reclassification of Financial Assets and Financial LiabilitiesCertain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income

In January 2016,February 2018, the FASB issued an ASU, Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. This ASU 2016-01, Recognition and Measurementpermits a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for the tax effects of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The ASU requires investments in equity securitiesitems within accumulated other comprehensive income that do not result in consolidation and are not accountedreflect the lower statutory tax rate which was enacted by the U.S. tax legislation. This ASU is effective for under the equity method to be measured at fair value with

changes in the fair value recognized through net income, unless one of two available exceptions apply. The first exception, a scope exception, allows Federal Reserve Bank stock, FHLB stock and other exchange memberships held by broker dealers to remain accounted for at cost, less impairment. The second exception, a practicability exception, will be available for equity investments that do not have readily determinable fair values and do not qualify for the practical expedient to estimate fair value under ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement. To the extent the practicability exception applies, such investments will be accounted for at cost adjusted for impairment, if any, plus or minus changes from observable price changes.

The amendments also require an entity to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from the entity’s “own credit risk” when the entity has elected to measure the liability at fair value. The amendments also eliminate the requirement to disclose the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair values of financial instruments measured at amortized cost that are on the balance sheet.

The Company plans to adopt this guidance in the first quarter of 2018 using2019, with early adoption permitted. The guidance
in this ASU may be applied retrospectively to the cumulativeperiod in which the effect method of adoption. BNY Mellon doesthe change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act is recognized. We are assessing the impacts of the new standard, but would not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact.

ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments Credit Losses

In June 2016, the FASB issued an ASU, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses. This ASU introduces a new current expected credit losses model, which will apply to financial assets subject to credit losses and measured at amortized cost, including held-to-maturity securities and certain off-balance sheet credit exposures. The guidance will also change current practice for the impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities. The available-for-sale debt securities model will require the use of an allowance to record estimated credit losses and subsequent recoveries. This ASU is effective for the first quarter of 2020, with early application permitted beginning with the first quarter of 2019. BNY Mellon has begun its implementation efforts and is currently working through key interpretive issues, and in 2018 we are addressing credit loss forecasting models and related processes. The extent of the impact to our financial statements upon adoption depends on several factors including the remaining expected life of financial statements.instruments at the time of adoption, the establishment of an allowance for expected credit loss on held-to-maturity securities, and the macroeconomic conditions and forecasts that exist at that date. We do not expect to early adopt this ASU.

Recent regulatory developments

For a summary of additional regulatory matters relevant to our operations, see Supervision and Regulation in our 20162017 Annual Report. The following discussions summarize certain regulatory developments that may affect BNY Mellon, the impact of which we are still evaluating.

Final Rule on Qualified Financial ContractsFederal Reserve and OCC Propose Amendments to the Enhanced Supplementary Leverage Ratio Requirements for U.S. G-SIBs

On Sept. 1, 2017,April 11, 2018, the Federal Reserve adopted a final rule to require U.S. global systemically important banking organizations (“G-SIBs”) and the U.S. operations of foreign G-SIBs to amend their covered qualified financial contracts (“QFCs”). The FDIC adopted a substantially equivalent proposal on Oct. 30, 2017 and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency is expected(the “OCC”) issued a joint notice of proposed rule-making that would recalibrate the enhanced supplementary


42 BNY Mellon


leverage ratio standards that apply to do soU.S. global systemically important bank holding companies (“G-SIBs”) and certain of their insured depository institution subsidiaries. The proposed rule would supplant the 2% SLR buffer that currently applies to all U.S. G-SIBs with a buffer equal to 50% of the firm’s risk-based G-SIB surcharge. For insured depository institution subsidiaries of U.S. G-SIBs regulated by the Federal Reserve or the OCC including The Bank of New York Mellon, the proposal would replace the current 6% SLR threshold requirement for those institutions to be considered “well capitalized” under the agencies’ prompt corrective action framework with an SLR of at least 3% plus 50% of the G-SIB surcharge applicable to their top-tier holding companies. The proposed rule would also make corresponding changes to the total loss absorbing capacity (“TLAC”) SLR buffer and long-term debt requirements for U.S. G-SIBs, as well as technical changes to the Federal Reserve’s TLAC rule. The existing enhanced supplementary leverage ratio related requirements became effective on Jan. 1, 2018, and the TLAC-related requirements will become effective on Jan. 1, 2019.

Federal Reserve Proposes Substantial Changes to CCAR and its Capital Rules

On April 10, 2018, the Federal Reserve issued a proposed rule that would integrate its regulatory capital, capital planning, and stress test rules, as well as the CCAR process. The proposal would introduce a stress capital buffer (“SCB”) that would be determined based on the results of the severely adverse scenario in the near future. QFCs generally include derivatives, repurchase agreementssupervisory stress test and securities lending arrangements, among others.be part of the firm’s ongoing capital requirements, resulting in “firm-specific and risk-sensitive” capital requirements for large bank holding companies. Specifically, the proposal would replace the current static 2.5% capital conservation buffer with an SCB requirement for Standardized Approach capital ratios, based on (i) the projected decrease in a firm’s common equity tier 1 capital ratio, measured from the beginning to its lowest point, in the severely adverse scenario of the Federal Reserve’s supervisory severely adverse scenario, plus (ii) planned common stock dividends for the fourth through seventh quarters of the planning horizon, subject to a floor of 2.5%. For firms subject to the advanced approaches, such as BNY Mellon, the static 2.5% capital conservation buffer would continue to apply for Advanced Approaches risk-based capital ratios. The finalproposed rule includes two key requirements. First,would maintain the final rule generally requiresrequirement for
 
covered firms to submit capital plans, but would introduce a new requirement that QFCs of G-SIBs explicitly provide that any resolution staysfirms reduce their planned capital distributions if those distributions would not be consistent with the applicable to the exercise of default rights with respect to such QFCs and to any resolution transfers under U.S. special resolution regimes apply to such covered QFCs.  Second, the final rule requires that QFCs of G-SIBs be amended to neither permit the exercise of default or cross-default rights against entities covered by the final rulebuffer constraints based on the resolution or bankruptcy of an affiliate of such entities, nor allow for any transfer restrictions with respectfirms’ own baseline scenario projections. The proposal would not, however, change the CCAR qualitative review process that allows the Federal Reserve to such QFCs.

The final rule allows G-SIBs to comply with the rule by adheringobject to the International Swapscapital plans of “large and Derivatives Association 2015 Universal Resolution Stay Protocol (the “Protocol”) or a similar protocol that accomplishescomplex” firms on the contractual amendments required by the rule. BNY Mellon entities that engage in QFC activities covered by the Protocol have adhered to the Protocol.  Compliance with the Federal Reserve’s final rule will be required on a phased-in basis beginning on Jan. 1, 2019. BNY Mellon is evaluating the impact of the new regulations on its activities.qualitative deficiencies.

Resolution planOther aspects of the proposal include:  (1) introducing a stress leverage buffer (“SLB”) that is analogous to the SCB and applies to firms’ tier 1 leverage ratios, although not subject to any floor; (2) limiting capital distributions if a firm’s own BHC baseline scenario projections indicate that the firm would not satisfy applicable buffer requirements; (3) revising assumptions for balance sheet growth and capital actions in the supervisory stress test; and (4) eliminating heightened supervisory scrutiny of capital plans that include a dividend payout ratio of more than 30%. Under the proposal, a firm’s first SCB and SLB would become effective on Oct. 1, 2019.

As required byFederal Reserve, OCC and FDIC Release Joint Proposal Regarding the Dodd-Frank Act, BNY Mellon must submit annually toImplementation of CECL and Their Regulatory Capital Rules

On April 13 and April 17, 2018, the Federal Reserve, the OCC and the FDIC released a planjoint proposal to revise their regulatory capital rules to address U.S. generally accepted accounting principles’ upcoming change to the Current Expected Credit Losses (“CECL”) treatment of credit expense and allowances and provide an optional three-year phase-in period for its rapid and orderly resolutionthe day-one adverse regulatory capital effects upon adopting CECL. Additionally, the proposal would address which credit loss allowances under CECL would be eligible for inclusion in the event of material financial distress or failure. BNY Mellon filed its most recent resolution plan on July 1, 2017. We believe the 2017 resolution plan addresses all shortcomings and deficiencies identified by the FDIC and the Federal Reserve in the Company’s 2015 resolution plan. The public portion of our 2017 resolution plan is available on the Federal Reserve’s and FDIC’s websites.tier 2 regulatory capital.

In September 2017,Upon adopting CECL, a company will record a one-time adjustment to its credit loss allowances as of the Federal Reservebeginning of its fiscal year of adoption equal to the difference between the amounts of its credit loss allowances under the incurred loss methodology and FDIC extendedCECL. The adjustment will be recognized with offsetting entries to deferred tax assets, if appropriate, and to the filing deadline by one year to July 1, 2019 for the Parent’s next resolution plan.new fiscal year’s beginning retained earnings.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
 


Note 1 - 1–Basis of presentation

Basis of presentation

The accounting and financial reporting policies of BNY Mellon, a global financial services company, conform to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and prevailing industry practices.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented have been made. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with BNY Mellon’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended Dec. 31, 2016.2017. Certain immaterial reclassifications have been made to prior periods to place them on a basis comparable with current period presentation.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates based upon assumptions about future economic and market conditions which affect reported amounts and related disclosures in our financial statements. Although our current estimates contemplate current conditions and how we expect them to change in the future, it is reasonably possible that actual conditions could be worse than anticipated in those estimates, which could materially affect our results of operations and financial condition. Amounts subject to estimates are items such as the allowance for loan losses and lending-related commitments, the fair value of financial instruments and derivatives, other-than-temporary impairment, goodwill and other intangibles and pension accounting. Among other effects, such changes in estimates could result in future impairments of investment securities, goodwill and intangible assets and establishment of allowances for loan losses and lending-related commitments as well as changes in pension and post-retirement expense.

 
Note 2 - 2–Accounting changechanges and new accounting guidance

ASU 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. This ASU simplifies the annual goodwill impairment test by eliminating Step 2. The Step 2 calculation estimated the implied goodwill using the fair values of all assets, including previously unrecorded intangibles,following accounting changes and liabilities at the date of the test. Step 2 was required if the first step of the annual test indicated that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. After adopting this ASU, the amount of any goodwill impairment will be determined by the excess of the carrying value of a reporting unit over its fair value. The Company earlynew accounting guidance were adopted this ASU in the second quarter of 2017, in conjunction with its annual goodwill impairment test. The annual test did not result in any impairment.

ASU 2016-09, Compensation Stock Compensation

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation Stock Compensation. This ASU simplifies several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including income tax consequences, recognition of forfeitures and classification on the statement of cash flows. The Company adopted this ASU effective Jan. 1, 2017.

For the first nine months of 2017, we recorded an income tax benefit of $45 million related to the vesting of stock awards and option exercises in the provision for income taxes. Previously, this had been recorded directly to additional paid-in capital. The impact in future periods will vary depending on the number of restricted stock units vesting (which primarily occurs in the first quarter of each year), the number of stock options exercised and the change in value since the grant date.2018.

We continueASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging: Targeted Improvements to apply ourAccounting for Hedging Activities

In August 2017, the FASB issued an ASU, Derivatives and Hedging: Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities. The objective of this ASU is to improve the financial reporting of hedging relationships to better portray the economic results of an entity’s risk management activities and to simplify the application of hedge accounting policy electionguidance.

The most significant impact of the new guidance to the Company relates to the new accounting alternatives for estimating forfeitures. Additionally, beginning infair value hedges of interest rate risk, specifically, the quarter ended March 31, 2017, we report excess tax benefits relatedability to stock-based compensation as operating activities onhedge only the statementbenchmark component of the contractual cash flows and partial-term hedging. The guidance also changed presentation and disclosure requirements and made changes to how the employee taxes paid will continue to be reported as financing activities.shortcut method is applied, which may result in the Company using that method going forward for certain hedging relationships.

BNY Mellon elected to early adopt this ASU on Jan. 31, 2018, which is the “as of” date for which the Company was permitted to make certain elections and the measurement date for recording the adoption impact for certain hedge modifications. As part of the adoption, we elected to reclassify approximately $1.1 billion of debt securities from held-to-maturity to available-for-sale which resulted in a decrease of $47 million pre-tax to accumulated other comprehensive income. The Company also elected to modify certain hedge relationships as of the adoption date primarily to utilize the benchmark component method of measuring hedge effectiveness, as such method is deemed to more closely match risk management objectives with accounting results. The Company recognized a $27 million after-tax increase in retained earnings as of Jan. 1, 2018 associated with the adoption impact of these hedge modifications.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements(continued)

ASU 2017-07, Compensation-Retirement Benefits - Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost

In March 2017, the FASB issued an ASU, Compensation-Retirement Benefits - Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost. The ASU requires the disaggregation of the service cost component from the other components of the net benefit cost in the income statement. The ASU also permits only the service cost component of net benefit cost to be eligible for capitalization. BNY Mellon adopted this ASU in the first quarter of 2018, and applied the guidance retrospectively for the presentation of the service cost component and the other components in the income statement, and prospectively for the capitalization of the service cost component in assets. The adoption of this standard increased staff expense and decreased other expense by $14 million for the fourth quarter of 2017 and $16 million for the first quarter of 2017.

ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows Restricted Cash

In November 2016, the FASB issued an ASU, Statement of Cash Flows – Restricted Cash. This ASU provides guidance on the presentation of restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. Restricted cash consists of excess client funds held by our broker-dealer business and totaled $1.2 billion at March 31, 2018 and $2.9 billion at March 31, 2017. Restricted cash is included in interest-bearing deposits with banks on the consolidated balance sheet and with cash and due from banks when reconciling the beginning and end-of-period balances on the consolidated cash flow statement.

We adopted the guidance in this ASU retrospectively. As a result, the change in interest-bearing deposits with banks, which is included in investing activities on the consolidated statement of cash flows, was restated to reflect the decrease in restricted cash of $477 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The change in restricted cash was a $515 million decrease for the three months ended March 31, 2018.
ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments

In August 2016, the FASB issued an ASU, Statement of Cash Flows – Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. This ASU provides guidance on eight specific cash flow presentation issues. The most significant impact for BNY Mellon relates to distributions received from equity method investees. For equity method investments, BNY Mellon elected to report distributions received from equity method investees using the cumulative earnings approach. Distributions received are considered returns on investment and classified as cash inflows from operating activities on the consolidated cash flows statement. To the extent the returns on investment exceeded the cumulative equity in earnings recognized; the excess would be considered a return of investment and classified as cash inflows from investing activities on the consolidated cash flows statement. We adopted the guidance in this ASU retrospectively. As a result, the change in accruals and other, net which is included in operating activities on the consolidated cash flows statement, was restated to reflect distributions received of $9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017. These distributions were previously included in other, net in investing activities on the consolidated cash flows statement. Distributions received for the three months ended March 31, 2018 were $9 million. The remaining seven specific cash flow presentation issues do not materially impact BNY Mellon.

ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This ASU, as amended, provides guidance on the recognition of revenue related to the transfer of promised goods or services to customers and guidance on accounting for certain contract costs. The standard provides a single revenue model to be applied by reporting companies under U.S. GAAP and supersedes most existing revenue recognition guidance.

The Company adopted the guidance on Jan. 1, 2018 using the cumulative effect transition method applied to contracts not completed as of Dec. 31, 2017, which resulted in a $55 million after-tax reduction to retained earnings. The comparative financial

Although the impact of the adoption of this ASU was not material, the most significant changes and quantitative impact of the changes are disclosed below.

Payments to customers

The timing of recognizing the reduction in revenue for certain payments made to depositary receipts customers has changed. Prior to adoption, annual payments to customers were capitalized and amortized as contra revenue over the remaining contract period, subject to impairment reviews.

Under the new guidance, annual payments are recorded as a reduction in revenue in proportion to the expected annual revenue generated from the related customer contract.

Costs to obtain a customer contract

Prior to adoption, costs to obtain a customer contract, primarily sales incentives, were expensed as incurred. Under the new guidance, an asset is recognized for the incremental sales incentives that are considered costs of obtaining a contract with a customer, if those costs are expected to be recovered.

The table below presents the cumulative effect of the adoption of the new guidance on the consolidated balance sheet as of Dec. 31, 2017.

ASU 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The ASU requires investments in equity securities that do not result in consolidation and are not accounted for under the equity method to be measured at fair value with changes in the fair value recognized through net income, unless one of two available exceptions apply. The first exception, a scope exception, allows Federal Reserve Bank stock, FHLB stock and exchange memberships to remain accounted for at cost, less impairment. The second practicability exception is an election available for equity investments that do not have readily determinable fair values. For certain investments where the Company has chosen the practicability exception, such investments are accounted for at cost adjusted for impairment, if any, plus or minus observable price changes.

The Company adopted this guidance in the first quarter of 2018 using the cumulative effect method of adoption, with a de minimis impact to retained earnings. As part of the adoption, we reclassified money market fund investments of approximately $1 billion to trading assets, primarily from available-for-sale securities.

As of March 31, 2018, we have $47 million of non-readily marketable equity securities, where we are utilizing the practicability exception, and carrying such investments at cost, plus or minus observed changes in fair value. The upward adjustments recognized on these equity securities were $20 million in the first quarter of 2018 resulting from activity that resulted in observable price changes.

We also have equity securities carried at fair value at March 31, 2018. The net gain recognized in the first quarter of 2018 was $2 million, comprised of $9 million of realized gains on equity securities sold in the first quarter of 2018 and $7 million on unrealized losses recognized on equity securities held at March 31, 2018.

Note 3 - 3–Acquisitions and dispositions

We sometimes structure our acquisitions with both an initial payment and later contingent payments tied to post-closing revenue or income growth. ContingentThere were no contingent payments totaled $2 million in the thirdfirst quarter of 2017 and the first nine months of 2017.2018.

At Sept. 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, we are potentially obligated to pay additional consideration which, using reasonable assumptions, could range from $0 million to $16 million over the next two yearstwelve months, but could be higher as certain of the arrangements do not contain a contractual maximum. The acquisitiondisposition described below did not have a material impact on BNY Mellon’s results of operations.

AcquisitionDisposition in 20162018

On April 1, 2016,Jan 2, 2018, BNY Mellon acquiredcompleted the assetssale of Atherton Lane Advisers, LLC,CenterSquare, one of our Investment Management boutiques, and recorded a U.S.-based investment manager withsmall gain on this transaction. CenterSquare had approximately $2.45$10 billion in AUM in U.S. and servicer for approximately 700 high-net-worth clients, for cashglobal real estate and infrastructure investments. In addition, goodwill of $38$52 million plus contingent payments measured at $22 million. Goodwill related towas removed from the balance sheet as a result of this acquisition totaled $29 million and is included in the Investment Management business. The customer relationship intangible asset related to this acquisition is included in the Investment Management business, with an estimated life of 14 years, and totaled $30 million at acquisition.sale.

In September 2017, other residential mortgage-backedthe first quarter of 2018, we adopted the new accounting guidance included in ASU 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. As a result, money market fund investments were reclassified to trading assets, primarily from available-for-sale securities.

In the first quarter of 2018, certain debt securities with an aggregate amortized cost of $74$1,117 million and fair value of $76$1,070 million were transferred from held-to-maturity securities to available-for-sale securities. Duesecurities as part of the adoption of ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging: Targeted Improvements to recent ratings downgrades, the Company no longer intends to hold these securities to maturity.Accounting for Hedging Activities.

Temporarily impaired securities

At Sept. 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, the unrealized losses on the investment securities portfolio were primarily attributable to an increase in interest rates from date of purchase, and for certain securities that were transferred from available-for-sale to held-to-maturity, an increase in interest rates through the date they were transferred. Specifically, $155$107 million of the unrealized losses at Sept. 30, 2017March 31, 2018 and $190$144 million at Dec. 31, 20162017 reflected in the available-for-sale sections of the tables below relate to certain securities (primarily Agency RMBS) that were transferred in prior periods from available-for-sale to held-to-maturity. The unrealized losses will be amortized into net interest revenue over the contractual lives of the securities. The transfer created a new cost basis for the securities. As a result, if these securities have experienced unrealized losses since the date of transfer, the corresponding fair value and unrealized losses would be reflected in the held-to-maturity sections of the following tables. We do not intend to sell these securities and it is not more likely than not that we will have to sell these securities.

Other-than-temporary impairment

We conduct periodic reviews of all securities to determine whether OTTI has occurred. Such reviews may incorporate the use of economic models. Various inputs to the economic models are used to determine if an unrealized loss on securities is other-than-temporary. For example, the most significant inputs related to non-agency RMBS are:

Default rate - the number of mortgage loans expected to go into default over the life of the transaction, which is driven by the roll rate of loans in each performance bucket that will ultimately migrate to default; and
Severity - the loss expected to be realized when a loan defaults.

To determine if an unrealized loss is other-than-temporary, we project total estimated defaults of the underlying assets (mortgages) and multiply that calculated amount by an estimate of realizable value upon sale of these assets in the marketplace (severity) in order to determine the projected collateral loss. In determining estimated default rate and severity assumptions, we review the performance of the underlying securities, industry studies and market forecasts, as well as our view of the economic outlook affecting collateral. We also evaluate the current credit enhancement underlying the bond to determine the impact on cash flows. If we determine that a given security will be subject to a write-down or loss, we record the expected credit loss as a charge to earnings.

The table below shows the projected weighted-average default rates and loss severities for the 2007, 2006 and late 2005 non-agency RMBS and the securities previously held in the Grantor Trust that we established in connection with the restructuring of our investment securities portfolio in 2009, at Sept. 30, 2017March 31, 2018 and Dec. 31, 20162017. See Note 15 for carrying values of these securities.

At March 31, 2018, undrawn commitments to borrowers whose loans were classified as nonaccrual or reduced rate were not material.

Lost interest

Interest income would have increased by $1 million in the first quarter of 2018, fourth quarter of 2017 and first quarter of 2017, if nonperforming loans at period-end had been performing for the entire respective quarter.

Impaired loans

We use the discounted cash flow method as the primary method for valuing impaired loans. The average recorded investment and unpaid principal balance of impaired loans were less than $10 million for the first quarter of 2018, the fourth quarter of 2017 and the first quarter of 2017. The impaired loans had a related allowance of $1 million at both March 31, 2018 and Dec. 31, 2017.

Troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”)

A modified loan is considered a TDR if the debtor is experiencing financial difficulties and the creditor grants a concession to the debtor that would not
otherwise be considered. A TDR may include a transfer of real estate or other assets from the debtor to the creditor, or a modification of the term of the loan. Not allWe modified loans are considered TDRs.

Credit quality indicators

Our credit strategy is to focus on investment gradeinvestment-grade clients that are active users of our non-credit services. Each customer is assigned an internal credit rating, which is mapped to an external rating agency grade equivalent, if possible, based upon a number of dimensions, which are continually evaluated and may change over time.

The following tables present information about credit quality indicators.

The commercial loan portfolio is divided into investment grade and non-investment grade categories based on rating criteria largely consistent with those of the public rating agencies. Each customer in the portfolio is assigned an internal credit rating. These internal credit ratings are generally consistent with the ratings categories of the public rating agencies. Customers with ratings consistent with BBB- (S&P)/Baa3 (Moody’s) or better are considered to be investment grade. Those clients with ratings lower than this threshold are considered to be non-investment grade.

Wealth management non-mortgage loans are not typically rated by external rating agencies. A majority of the wealth management loans are secured by the customers’ investment management accounts or custody accounts. Eligible assets pledged for these loans are typically investment grade fixed-income
securities, equities and/or mutual funds. Internal ratings for this portion of the wealth management portfolio, therefore, would equate to investment gradeinvestment-grade external ratings. Wealth management loans are provided to select customers based on the pledge of other types of assets, including business assets, fixed assets or a modest amount of commercial real estate. For the loans collateralized by other assets, the credit quality of the obligor is carefully analyzed, but we do not consider this portfolio of loans to be investment grade.

Credit quality indicators for wealth management mortgages are not correlated to external ratings. Wealth management mortgages are typically loans to high-net-worth individuals, which are secured primarily by residential property. These loans are primarily interest-only, adjustable rate mortgages with a weighted-average loan-to-value ratio of 62% at origination. In the wealth management portfolio, less than 1% of the mortgages were past due at March 31, 2018.

At March 31, 2018, the wealth management mortgage portfolio consisted of the following geographic concentrations: California - 24%; New York - 18%; Massachusetts - 11%; Florida - 8%; and other - 39%.

than 1% of the mortgages were past due at Sept. 30, 2017.

At Sept. 30, 2017, the wealth management mortgage portfolio consisted of the following geographic concentrations: California - 24%; New York - 19%; Massachusetts - 11%; Florida - 8%; and other - 38%.

Other residential mortgages

The other residential mortgage portfolio primarily consists of 1-4 family residential mortgage loans and totaled $741$680 million at Sept. 30, 2017March 31, 2018 and $854$708 million at Dec. 31, 2016.2017. These loans are not typically correlated to external ratings. Included in this portfolio at Sept. 30, 2017March 31, 2018 are $181$160 million of mortgage loans purchased in 2005, 2006 and the first quarter of 2007 that are predominantly prime mortgage loans, with a small portion of Alt-A loans. As of Sept. 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, the purchased loans in this portfolio had a weighted-average loan-to-value ratio of 76% at origination, and 11%12% of the serviced loan balance was at least 60 days delinquent. The properties securing the prime and Alt-A mortgage loans were located (in order of concentration) in California, Florida, Virginia, the tri-state area (New York, New Jersey and Connecticut) and Maryland.

Overdrafts

Overdrafts primarily relate to custody and securities clearance clients and totaled $5.8 billion at Sept. 30,
2017March 31, 2018 and $5.5$5.1 billion at Dec. 31, 2016.2017. Overdrafts occur on a daily basis primarily in the custody and securities clearance business and are generally repaid within two business days.

Other loans

Other loans primarily include loans to consumers that are fully collateralized with equities, mutual funds and fixed incomefixed-income securities.

Margin loans

We had $13.9$15.1 billion of secured margin loans on our balance sheet at Sept. 30, 2017March 31, 2018 compared with $17.6$15.8 billion at Dec. 31, 2016.2017. Margin loans are collateralized with marketable securities, and borrowers are required to maintain a daily collateral margin in excess of 100% of the value of the loan. We have rarely suffered a loss on these types of loans and do not allocate any of our allowance for credit losses to margin loans.

Reverse repurchase agreements

Reverse repurchase agreements are transactions fully collateralized with high-quality liquid securities. These transactions carry minimal credit risk and therefore are not allocated an allowance for credit losses.

Impairment testing

The goodwill impairment test is performed at least annually at the reporting unit level. Intangible assets not subject to amortization are tested for impairment annually or more often if events or circumstances indicate they may be impaired.

BNY Mellon’s three business segments include eight reporting units for which goodwill impairment testing is performed on an annual basis. In the second quarter of 2017, BNY Mellon conducted an annual goodwill impairment test on all eight reporting units.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
 

Note 8 - Net interest8–Contract revenue

Significant accounting policy

Revenue is based on terms specified in a contract with a customer, and excludes any amounts collected on behalf of third parties. Revenue is recognized when, or as, a performance obligation is satisfied by transferring control of a good or service to a customer. A performance obligation may be satisfied over time or at a point in time. Revenue from a performance obligation satisfied over time is recognized by measuring our progress in satisfying the performance obligation in a manner that reflects the transfer of goods and services to the customer. Revenue from a performance obligation satisfied at a point in time is recognized at the point in time the customer obtains control of the promised good or service. The following table providesamount of revenue recognized reflects the componentsconsideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for the promised goods and services. Taxes assessed by a governmental authority, that are both imposed on, and concurrent with, a specific revenue-producing transaction, are collected from a customer and are excluded from revenue.

Nature of net interestservices and revenue presentedrecognition

Fee revenue in Investment Services and Investment Management is primarily variable, based on levels of AUC/A, AUM and the level of client-driven transactions, as specified in fee schedules.

Investment Services fees are based primarily on the market value of AUC/A; client accounts, balances and the volume of transactions; securities lending volume and spreads; and fees for other services. Certain fees based on the market value of assets are calculated in arrears on a monthly or quarterly basis.

Substantially all services within the Investment Services business are provided over time. Revenue on these services is recognized using the time elapsed method, equal to the expected invoice amount, which typically represents the value provided to the customer for our performance completed to date.

Trade execution and clearing services are delivered at a point-in-time, based on customer actions. Revenue for trade execution and clearing services is recognized on trade date, which is consistent with the time that the service was provided. Customers are generally billed for services on a monthly or quarterly basis.

Investment management fees are dependent on the overall level and mix of AUM. The management fees, expressed in basis points, are charged for managing those assets. Management fees are typically subject to fee schedules based on the overall level of assets managed and products in which those assets are invested.

Investment management fee revenue also includes transactional- and account-based fees. These fees along with distribution and servicing fees are recognized when the services have been complete. Clients are generally billed for services performed on a monthly or quarterly basis.

Performance fees are generally calculated as a percentage of the applicable portfolio’s performance in excess of a benchmark index or a peer group’s performance. Performance fees are recognized at the end of the measurement period when they are determinable.

See Note 19 for additional information on our two principal businesses, Investment Services and Investment Management and the primary services provided.

Contract balances

Our clients are billed based on fee schedules that are agreed upon in each customer contract. Receivables from customers were $3.9 billion at Jan. 1, 2018 and $2.9 billion at March 31, 2018. An allowance is maintained for accounts receivables which is generally based on the number of days outstanding. Adjustments to the allowance are recorded in other expense in the consolidated income statement. A provision of $2 million was recorded in the first quarter of 2018.

Contract assets represent accrued revenues that have not yet been billed to the customers due to certain contractual terms other than the passage of time and were $30 million at Jan. 1, 2018 and $45 million at March 31, 2018. Accrued revenues recorded as contract assets are usually billed on an annual basis. There were no impairments recorded on contract assets in the first quarter of 2018.

Both receivables from customers and contract assets are included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheet.

Contract liabilities represent payments received in advance of providing services under certain contracts and were $167 million at Jan. 1, 2018 and $190 million at March 31, 2018. Contract liabilities are included in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. Revenue recognized in the first quarter of 2018 relating to contract liabilities as of Jan. 1, 2018 was $43 million.

Changes in contract assets and liabilities primarily relate to either party’s performance under the contracts.

Contract costs

Incremental costs for obtaining contracts subject to the scope of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue From Contracts With Customers that are deemed recoverable are capitalized as contract costs. Such costs result from the payment of sales incentives, primarily in the Wealth Management business, and totaled $109 million at March 31, 2018. Capitalized sales incentives are amortized based on the transfer of goods or services to which the assets relate and typically average nine years. The amortization of capitalized sales incentives, which is primarily included in staff expense, totaled $5 million in the first quarter of 2018.

Costs to fulfill a contract are capitalized when they relate directly to an existing contract or specific anticipated contract, generate or enhance resources that will be used to fulfill performance obligations and are recoverable. Such costs generally represent set-up costs, which include any direct cost incurred at inception of a contract which enables the fulfillment of the performance obligation and totaled $15 million at March 31, 2018. These capitalized costs are amortized on a straight line basis over the expected contract period which generally range from seven to nine years. The amortization is included in other expense and totaled $1 million in the first quarter of 2018.

There was no impairment recorded on capitalized contract costs in the first quarter of 2018.

Unsatisfied performance obligations

We do not have any unsatisfied performance obligations other than those that are subject to a practical expedient election under ASC 606, Revenue


BNY Mellon 67

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements(continued)

From Contracts With Customers. The practical expedient election applies to (i) contracts with an original expected length of one year or less, and (ii)
contracts for which we recognize revenue at the amount to which we have the right to invoice for services performed.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements(continued)

Note 10 - 11–Income taxes

BNY Mellon recorded an income tax provision of $348$282 million (25.4%(19.5% effective tax rate) in the thirdfirst quarter of 2018 and $269 million (22.3% effective tax rate) in the first quarter of 2017. The income tax provision was $324benefit of $453 million (24.6% effective tax rate) in the thirdfourth quarter of 2016 and $3322017 included an estimated tax benefit of $710 million (25.4% effectiverelated to U.S. tax rate)legislation. There were no adjustments to this estimated tax benefit recorded in the secondfirst quarter of 2017.2018.

Our total tax reserves as of Sept. 30, 2017March 31, 2018 were $157$130 million compared with $143$128 million at June 30,Dec. 31, 2017. If these tax reserves were unnecessary, $157$130 million would affect the effective tax rate in future periods. We recognize accrued interest and penalties, if applicable, related to income taxes in income tax expense. Included in the balance sheet at Sept. 30, 2017March 31, 2018 is accrued interest, where applicable, of $24$18 million. The additional tax expense related to interest for the ninethree months ended Sept. 30, 2017March 31, 2018 was $7$1 million, compared with $2 million for the ninethree months ended Sept. 30, 2016.March 31, 2017.

It is reasonably possible the total reserve for uncertain tax positions could decrease within the next 12 months by approximately $57$38 million as a result of adjustments related to tax years that are still subject to examination.

Our federal income tax returns are closed to examination through 2013. Our New York State, New York City and UK income tax returns are closed to examination through 2012.

Note 11 - 12–Variable interest entities and securitization

BNY Mellon has variable interests in VIEs, which include investments in retail, institutional and alternative investment funds, including collateralized loan obligation (“CLO”)CLO structures in which we provide asset management services, some of which are consolidated. The investment funds are offered to our retail and institutional clients to provide them
with access to investment vehicles with specific investment objectives and strategies that address the client’s investment needs.

BNY Mellon earns management fees from these funds as well as performance fees in certain funds and may also provide start-up capital for its new funds. The funds are primarily financed by our customers’ investments in the funds’ equity or debt.

Additionally, BNY Mellon invests in qualified affordable housing and renewable energy projects, which are designed to generate a return primarily through the realization of tax credits by the Company. The projects, which are structured as limited partnerships and LLCs, are also VIEs, but are not consolidated.

The VIEs previously discussed above are included in the scope of ASU 2015-02 which was adopted effective Jan. 1, 2015, and are reviewed for consolidation based on the guidance in ASC 810, Consolidation.We reconsider and reassess whether or not we are the primary beneficiary of a VIE when governing documents or contractual arrangements are changed that would reallocate the obligation to absorb expected losses or receive expected residual returns between BNY Mellon and the other investors. This could occur when BNY Mellon disposes of its variable interests in the fund, when additional variable interests are issued to other investors or when we acquire additional variable interests in the VIE.

The following tables presenttable presents the incremental assets and liabilities included in BNY Mellon’s consolidated financial statements, after applying intercompany eliminations, as of Sept. 30, 2017March 31, 2018 and Dec. 31, 2016.2017. The net assets of any consolidated VIE are solely available to settle the liabilities of the VIE and to settle any investors’ ownership liquidation requests, including any seed capital invested in the VIE by BNY Mellon.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
 

Note 14 - 15–Fair value measurement

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements is utilized based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. BNY Mellon’s own creditworthiness is considered when valuing liabilities. See Note 18 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements into our 20162017 Annual Report for information on how we determine fair value and the fair value hierarchy.
 
The following tables present the financial instruments carried at fair value at Sept. 30, 2017March 31, 2018 and Dec. 31, 2016,2017, by caption on the consolidated balance sheet and by the three-level valuation hierarchy. We have included credit ratings information in certain of the tables because the information indicates the degree of credit risk to which we are exposed, and significant changes in ratings classifications could result in increased risk for us. There were no material transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during the thirdfirst quarter of 2017.2018.

Changes in Level 3 fair value measurements

Our classification of a financial instrument in Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy is based on the significance of the unobservable factors to the overall fair value measurement. However, these instruments generally include other observable components that are actively quoted or validated to third-party sources; accordingly, the gains and losses in the table below include changes in fair value due to observable parameterssources as well as the unobservable parameters in our valuation methodologies. We also manage the
risks of Level 3 financial instruments using securities and derivatives positions that are Level 1 or Level 2 instruments which are not included in the table; accordingly, the gains or losses below do not reflect the effect of our risk management activities related to the Level 3 instruments.

The Company has a Level 3 Pricing Committee which evaluates the valuation techniques used in


BNY Mellon 87

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements(continued)

determining the fair value of Level 3 assets and liabilities.

There were no financial instruments recorded at fair value on a recurring basis classified in Level 3 of the
valuation hierarchy in the first nine monthsquarter of 2018 and first quarter of 2017.
The table below includes a roll forward of the balance sheet amount for the three and nine months ended Sept. 30, 2016 (including the change in fair value), for financial instruments classified in Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis

Under certain circumstances, we make adjustments to fair value our assets, liabilities and unfunded lending-related commitments although they are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis. An exampleExamples would be the recording of an impairment of an asset.asset and non-readily marketable equity securities carried at cost with upward or downward adjustments.
The following tables present the financial instruments carried on the consolidated balance sheet by caption and by level in the fair value hierarchy as of Sept. 30, 2017March 31, 2018 and Dec. 31, 2016,2017, for which a nonrecurring change in fair value has been recorded during the quarters ended Sept. 30, 2017March 31, 2018 and Dec. 31, 2016.2017.

Note 15 - 16–Fair value option

We elected fair value as an alternative measurement for selected financial assets and financial liabilities.

The following table presents the assets and liabilities by type, of consolidated investment management funds, recorded at fair value.

BNY Mellon values the assets and liabilities of its consolidated investment management funds using quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets or observable inputs such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities. Quoted prices for either identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets may also be used. Accordingly, fair value best reflects the interests BNY Mellon holds in the economic performance of the consolidated investment management funds. Changes in the value of the assets and liabilities are recorded in the consolidated income statement as investment income of consolidated investment management funds and in the interest of investment management fund note holders, respectively.

We have elected the fair value option on $240 million of long-term debt. The fair value of this long-term debt was $369363 million at Sept. 30, 2017March 31, 2018 and $363$367 million at Dec. 31, 2016.2017. The long-term debt is

Note 16 - 17–Derivative instruments

We use derivatives to manage exposure to market risk, including interest rate risk, equity price risk and foreign currency risk, as well as credit risk. Our trading activities are focused on acting as a market-maker for our customers and facilitating customer trades in compliance with the Volcker Rule.

The notional amounts for derivative financial instruments express the dollar volume of the transactions; however, credit risk is much smaller. We perform credit reviews and enter into netting agreements and collateral arrangements to minimize the credit risk of derivative financial instruments. We enter into offsetting positions to reduce exposure to foreign currency, interest rate and equity price risk.

Use of derivative financial instruments involves reliance on counterparties. Failure of a counterparty to honor its obligation under a derivative contract is a risk we assume whenever we engage in a derivative contract. There were no counterparty default losses recorded in the thirdfirst quarter of 20172018 or the thirdfirst quarter of 2016.2017.

Hedging derivatives

We utilize interest rate swap agreements to manage our exposure to interest rate fluctuations. ForWe enter into fair value hedges ofas an interest rate risk management strategy to reduce fair value variability by converting certain fixed rate interest payments associated with available-for-sale investment securities, deposits and long-term debt the hedge documentation specifies the terms of the hedged items and the interest rate swaps and indicates that the derivative is hedging a fixed rate item and is a fair value hedge, that the hedge exposure is to the changes in the fair value of the hedged item due to changes in benchmark interest rates, and that the strategy is to eliminate fair value variability by converting fixed rate interest payments to LIBOR.



90 BNY Mellon

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements(continued)

The available-for-sale investment securities hedged consist of U.S. Treasury bonds, agency and non-agency commercial MBS, sovereign debt and covered bonds that had original maturities of 30 years or less at initial purchase. The swaps on all of these investment securities are not callable. All of these securities are hedged with “pay fixed rate, receive variable rate” swaps of similar maturity, repricing and fixed rate coupon. At Sept. 30, 2017, $12.4March 31, 2018, $13.3 billion face amount of available-for-sale securities were hedged with interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges that had notional values of $12.3$13.3 billion.

The fixed rate long-term debt instruments hedged generally have original maturities of five to 30 years. We issue both callable and non-callable debt. The non-callable debt is hedged with “receive fixed rate, pay variable rate” swaps with similar maturity, repricing and fixed rate coupon. Callable debt is hedged with callable swaps where the call dates of the swaps exactly match the call dates of the debt.swaps. At Sept. 30, 2017, $24.2March 31, 2018, $24.6 billion par value of debt was hedged with interest rate swaps that had notional values of $24.2$24.6 billion.

In addition, we enter intoutilize forward foreign exchange hedges.contracts as hedges to mitigate foreign exchange exposures. We use forward foreign exchange contracts as cash flow hedges to convert certain forecasted non-U.S. dollar revenue and expenses into U.S. dollars. We use forward foreign exchange contracts with maturities of nine15 months or less as cash flow hedges to hedge our foreign exchange exposure to Indian rupee, British pound, Hong Kong dollar, Singapore dollar, Polish zloty and Canadian dollar and Japanese yen foreign exchange exposure with respect to foreign currency forecasted revenue and expense transactions in entities that have the U.S. dollar as their functional currency. As of Sept. 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, the hedged forecasted foreign currency transactions and designated forward foreign exchange contract hedges were $539$415 million (notional), with a pre-tax lossgain of $9 million recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income. This lossgain will be reclassified to income or expenseearnings over the next nine12 months.

Forward foreign exchange contracts are also used to hedge the value of our net investments in foreign subsidiaries. These forward foreign exchange contracts have maturities of less than two years.one year. The derivatives employed are designated as hedges of changes in value of our foreign investments due to exchange rates. Changes in the value of the forward foreign exchange contracts offset the changes in value of the foreign investments due to changes in foreign exchange rates. The change in fair market value of these forward foreign exchange contracts is deferred and reported within foreign currency translation adjustments in shareholders’ equity, net of tax. At Sept. 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, forward foreign exchange contracts with notional amounts totaling $7.8$7.4 billion were designated as hedges.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements(continued)

In addition to forward foreign exchange contracts, we also designate non-derivative financial instruments as hedges of our net investments in foreign subsidiaries. Those non-derivative financial instruments designated as hedges of our net investments in
foreign subsidiaries were all long-term liabilities of BNY Mellon in various currencies, and, at Sept. 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, had a combined U.S. dollar equivalent value of $181$188 million.

Trading activities (including trading derivatives)

We manage trading risk through a system of position limits, a VaR methodology based on historical simulation and other market sensitivity measures. Risk is monitored and reported to senior management by a separate unit, independent from trading, on a daily basis. Based on certain assumptions, the VaR methodology is designed to capture the potential overnight pre-tax dollar loss from adverse changes in fair values of all trading positions. The calculation assumes a one-day holding period, utilizes a 99% confidence level and incorporates non-linear product characteristics. The VaR model is one of several statistical models used to develop economic capital results, which are allocated to lines of business for computing risk-adjusted performance.

As the VaR methodology does not evaluate risk attributable to extraordinary financial, economic or other occurrences,occurrences. As a result, the risk assessment process includes a number of stress scenarios based upon the risk factors in the portfolio and management’s assessment of market conditions. Additional stress scenarios based upon historical market events are also performed. Stress tests may incorporate the impact of reduced market liquidity and the breakdown of historically observed correlations and extreme
scenarios. VaR and other statistical measures, stress testing and sensitivity analysis are incorporated in other risk management materials.

publicly available credit rating information. This and other information is used to develop proprietary credit rating metrics used to assess credit quality.

Collateral requirements are determined after a comprehensive review of the credit quality of each counterparty. Collateral is generally held or pledged in the form of cash or highly liquid government securities. Collateral requirements are monitored and adjusted daily.

Additional disclosures concerning derivative financial instruments are provided in Note 1415 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Disclosure of contingent features in OTC derivative instruments

Certain OTC derivative contracts and/or collateral agreements of The Bank of New York Mellon, our largest banking subsidiary and the subsidiary through which BNY Mellon enters into the substantial majority of its OTC derivative contracts and/or collateral agreements, contain provisions that may require us to take certain actions if The Bank of New York Mellon’s public debt rating fell to a certain level. Early termination provisions, or “close-out”
agreements, in those contracts could trigger immediate payment of outstanding contracts that are in net liability positions. Certain collateral agreements would require The Bank of New York Mellon to immediately post additional collateral to
cover some or all of The Bank of New York Mellon’s liabilities to a counterparty.

The following table shows the fair value of contracts falling under early termination provisions that were in net liability positions as of Sept. 30, 2017March 31, 2018 for three key ratings triggers.

If The Bank of New York Mellon’s rating was changed to (Moody’s/S&P)
Potential close-out exposures (fair value) (a)
 
Potential close-out exposures (fair value) (a)
 
A3/A- $92 million $16 million
Baa2/BBB $430 million $232 million
Ba1/BB+ $1,899 million $1,419 million
(a)The amounts represent potential total close-out values if The Bank of New York Mellon’s rating were to immediately drop to the indicated levels.


The aggregated fair value of contracts impacting potential trade close-out amounts and collateral obligations can fluctuate from quarter to quarter due to changes in market conditions, changes in the composition of counterparty trades, new business or changes to the agreement definitions establishing close-out or collateral obligations.

Additionally, ifIf The Bank of New York Mellon’s debt rating had fallen below investment grade on Sept. 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, existing collateral arrangements would have required us to post an additional $151$144 million of collateral.

BNY Mellon’s repurchase agreements and securities lending transactions primarily encounter risk associated with liquidity. We are required to pledge collateral based on predetermined terms within the agreements. If we were to experience a decline in the fair value of the collateral pledged for these transactions, we could be required to provide
additional collateral to the counterparty, therefore decreasing the amount of assets available for other liquidity needs that may arise. BNY Mellon also offers tri-party collateral agency services in the tri-party repo market where we are exposed to credit risk. In order to mitigate this risk, we require dealers to fully secure intraday credit.

Note 17 - 18–Commitments and contingent liabilities

Off-balance sheet arrangements

In the normal course of business, various commitments and contingent liabilities are outstanding that are not reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Our significant trading and off-balance sheet risks are securities, foreign currency and interest rate risk management products, commercial lending commitments, letters of credit and securities lending indemnifications. We assume these risks to reduce
interest rate and foreign currency risks, to provide customers with the ability to meet credit and liquidity needs and to hedge foreign currency and interest rate risks. These items involve, to varying degrees, credit, foreign currency and interest rate riskrisks not recognized on the balance sheet. Our off-balance sheet risks are managed and monitored in manners similar to those used for on-balance sheet risks.

The following table presents a summary of our off-balance sheet credit risks.

BNY Mellon 85

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements(continued)

The total potential loss on undrawn lending commitments, standby and commercial letters of credit, and securities lending indemnifications is equal to the total notional amount if drawn upon, which does not consider the value of any collateral.

Since many of the lending commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total amount does not necessarily represent future cash requirements. A summary of lending commitment maturities is as follows: $29.8$30.5 billion in less than one year, $20.0$20.6 billion in one to five years and $158$165 million over five years.

Standby letters of credit (“SBLC”)SBLCs principally support obligations of corporate obligationsclients and were collateralized with cash and securities of $178$141 million at Sept. 30, 2017March 31, 2018 and $293$160 million at Dec. 31, 2016.2017. At Sept. 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, $2.3 billion of the SBLCs will expire within one year and $1.2$1.1 billion in one to five years and $48 million in over five years.

We must recognize, at the inception of an SBLC and foreign and other guarantees, a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing the guarantee. The fair value of the liability, which was recorded with a corresponding asset in other assets, was estimated as the present value of contractual customer fees. The estimated liability for losses related to SBLCs and foreign and other guarantees, if any, is included in the allowance for lending-related commitments. The allowance for lending-related commitments was $104$100 million at Sept. 30, 2017March 31, 2018 and $112$102 million at Dec. 31, 2016.2017.

Payment/performance risk of SBLCs is monitored using both historical performance and internal ratings criteria. BNY Mellon’s historical experience is that SBLCs typically expire without being funded. SBLCs below investment grade are monitored closely for payment/performance risk. The table below shows SBLCs by investment grade:

Standby letters of creditSept. 30, 2017
Dec. 31, 2016
March 31, 2018
Dec. 31, 2017
Investment grade86%89%86%84%
Non-investment grade14%11%14%16%


A commercial letter of credit is normally a short-term instrument used to finance a commercial contract for the shipment of goods from a seller to a buyer. Although the commercial letter of credit is contingent upon the satisfaction of specified conditions, it
represents a credit exposure if the buyer defaults on the underlying transaction. As a result, the total contractual amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Commercial letters of credit totaled $265$191 million at Sept. 30, 2017March 31, 2018 and $339$122 million at Dec. 31, 2016.2017.

We expect many of the lending commitments and letters of credit to expire without the need to advance any cash. The revenue associated with guarantees frequently depends on the credit rating of the obligor and the structure of the transaction, including collateral, if any.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements(continued)

A securities lending transaction is a fully collateralized transaction in which the owner of a security agrees to lend the security (typically through an agent, in our case, The Bank of New York Mellon), to a borrower, usually a broker-dealer or bank, on an open, overnight or term basis, under the terms of a prearranged contract, which normally matures in less than 90 days.contract.

We typically lend securities with indemnification against borrower default. We generally require the borrower to provide collateral with a minimum value of 102% of the fair value of the securities borrowed, which is monitored on a daily basis, thus reducing credit risk. Market risk can also arise in securities lending transactions. These risks are controlled through policies limiting the level of risk that can be undertaken. Securities lending transactions are generally entered into only with highly rated counterparties. Securities lending indemnifications were secured by collateral of $424483 billion at Sept. 30, 2017March 31, 2018 and $331451 billion at Dec. 31, 2016.2017.

CIBC Mellon, a joint venture between BNY Mellon and the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (“CIBC”), engages in securities lending activities.  CIBC Mellon, BNY Mellon and CIBC jointly and severally indemnify securities lenders against specific types of borrower default.  At Sept. 30, 2017March 31, 2018 and Dec. 31, 2016, $652017, $70 billion and $61$69 billion, respectively, of borrowings at CIBC Mellon, for which BNY Mellon acts as agent on behalf of CIBC Mellon clients, were secured by collateral of $69$74 billion and $64$73 billion, respectively. If, upon a default, a borrower’s collateral was not sufficient to cover its related obligations, certain losses related to the indemnification could be covered by the indemnitors.

Major concentrations in securities lending are primarily to broker-dealers and are generally collateralized with cash and/or securities.

Exposure for certain administrative errors

In connection with certain offshore tax-exempt funds that we manage, we may be liable to the funds for certain administrative errors. The errors relate to the resident status of such funds, potentially exposing the Company to a tax liability related to the funds’ earnings. The Company is in discussions with tax authorities regarding the funds. We believe we are appropriately accrued and the additional reasonably possible exposure is not significant.

Indemnification arrangements

We have provided standard representations for underwriting agreements, acquisition and divestiture agreements, sales of loans and commitments, and other similar types of arrangements and customary indemnification for claims and legal proceedings related to providing financial services that are not otherwise included above. Insurance has been purchased to mitigate certain of these risks. Generally, there are no stated or notional amounts
included in these indemnifications and the contingencies triggering the obligation for indemnification are not expected to occur. Furthermore, often counterparties to these transactions provide us with comparable indemnifications. We are unable to develop an estimate of the maximum payout under these


BNY Mellon 99

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements(continued)

indemnifications for several reasons. In addition to the lack of a stated or notional amount in a majority of such indemnifications, we are unable to predict the nature of events that would trigger indemnification or the level of indemnification for a certain event. We believe, however, that the possibility that we will have to make any material payments for these indemnifications is remote. At Sept. 30, 2017March 31, 2018 and Dec. 31, 2016,2017, we have not recorded any material liabilities under these arrangements.

Clearing and settlement exchanges

We are a noncontrolling equity investor in, and/or member of, several industry clearing or settlement exchanges through which foreign exchange, securities, derivatives or other transactions settle. Certain of these industry clearing and settlement exchanges require their members to guarantee their obligations and liabilities and/or to provide liquidity support in the event other members do not honor their obligations. We believe the likelihood that a clearing or settlement exchange (of which we are a member) would become insolvent is remote. Additionally, certain settlement exchanges have implemented loss allocation policies that enable the exchange to allocate settlement losses to the members of the exchange. It is not possible to quantify such mark-to-market loss until the loss occurs. Any ancillary costs that occur as a result of any mark-to-market loss cannot be quantified. In addition, we also sponsor clients as members on clearing and settlement exchanges and guarantee their obligations. At Sept. 30, 2017March 31, 2018 and Dec. 31, 2016,2017, we have not recorded any material liabilities under these arrangements.

Legal proceedings

In the ordinary course of business, BNY Mellon and its subsidiaries are routinely named as defendants in or made parties to pending and potential legal actions. We also are subject to governmental and regulatory examinations, information-gathering requests, investigations and proceedings (both formal and informal). Claims for significant monetary damages


BNY Mellon 87

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements(continued)

are often asserted in many of these legal actions, while claims for disgorgement, restitution, penalties and/or other remedial actions or sanctions may be sought in governmental and regulatory matters. It is inherently difficult to predict the eventual outcomes of such matters given their complexity and the particular facts and circumstances at issue in each of these matters. However, on the basis of our current
knowledge and understanding, we do not believe that judgments, settlements or orders, if any, arising from these matters (either individually or in the aggregate, after giving effect to applicable reserves and insurance coverage) will have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position or liquidity of BNY Mellon, although they could have a material effect on net income in a given period.

In view of the inherent unpredictability of outcomes in litigation and governmental and regulatory matters, particularly where (i) the damages sought are substantial or indeterminate, (ii) the proceedings are in the early stages, or (iii) the matters involve novel legal theories or a large number of parties, as a matter of course there is considerable uncertainty surrounding the timing or ultimate resolution of litigation and governmental and regulatory matters, including a possible eventual loss, fine, penalty or business impact, if any, associated with each such matter. In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, BNY Mellon establishes accruals for litigation and governmental and regulatory matters when those matters proceed to a stage where they present loss contingencies that are both probable and reasonably estimable. In such cases, there may be a possible exposure to loss in excess of any amounts accrued. BNY Mellon will continue to monitor such matters for developments that could affect the amount of the accrual, and will adjust the accrual amount as appropriate. If the loss contingency in question is not both probable and reasonably estimable, BNY Mellon does not establish an accrual and the matter will continue to be monitored for any developments that would make the loss contingency both probable and reasonably estimable. BNY Mellon believes that its accruals for legal proceedings are appropriate and, in the aggregate, are not material to the consolidated financial position of BNY Mellon, although future accruals could have a material effect on net income in a given period.

For certain of those matters described here for which a loss contingency may, in the future, be reasonably possible (whether in excess of a related accrued
liability or where there is no accrued liability), BNY Mellon is currently unable to estimate a range of reasonably possible loss. For those matters described here where BNY Mellon is able to estimate a reasonably possible loss, the aggregate range of such reasonably possible loss is up to $940$860 million in excess of the accrued liability (if any) related to those matters.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements(continued)

The following describes certain judicial, regulatory and arbitration proceedings involving BNY Mellon:

Mortgage-Securitization Trusts Proceedings
The Bank of New York Mellon has been named as a defendant in a number of legal actions brought by MBS investors alleging that the trustee has expansive duties under the governing agreements, including the duty to investigate and pursue breach of representation and warranty claims against other parties to the MBS transactions. These actions include a lawsuit brought in New York State court on June 18, 2014, and later re-filed in federal court, by a group of institutional investors who purport to sue on behalf of 253249 MBS trusts.

Matters Related to R. Allen Stanford
In late December 2005, Pershing LLC (“Pershing”) became a clearing firm for Stanford Group Co. (“SGC”), a registered broker-dealer that was part of a group of entities ultimately controlled by R. Allen Stanford (“Stanford”). Stanford International Bank (“SIB”), also controlled by Stanford, issued certificates of deposit (“CDs”). Some investors allegedly wired funds from their SGC accounts to purchase CDs. In 2009, the SEC charged Stanford with operating a Ponzi scheme in connection with the sale of CDs, and SGC was placed into receivership. Alleged purchasers of CDs have filed 15 lawsuits against Pershing that are pending in Texas, including two putative class actions. The purchasers allege that Pershing, as SGC’s clearing firm, assisted Stanford in a fraudulent scheme and assert contractual, statutory and common law claims. The remainingIn addition, a series of FINRA action hasarbitration proceedings have been resolved and dismissed.initiated by alleged purchasers asserting similar claims.

Brazilian Postalis Litigation
BNY Mellon Servicos Financeiros DTVM S.A. (“DTVM”), a subsidiary that provides a number of asset services in Brazil, acts as administrator for certain investment funds in which the exclusive investor is a public pension fund for postal workers called Postalis-Instituto de Seguridade Social dos

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements(continued)

Correios e Telégrafos (“Postalis”). On Aug. 22, 2014, Postalis sued DTVM in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil for losses related to a Postalis investment fund for which DTVM serves as fund administrator. Postalis alleges that DTVM failed to properly perform alleged duties, including duties to conduct due diligence of and exert control over the fund manager, Atlântica Administração de Recursos (“Atlântica”), and Atlântica’s investments. On March 12, 2015, Postalis filed a lawsuit in Rio de Janeiro against DTVM and
BNY Mellon Administração de Ativos Ltda. (“Ativos”) alleging failure to properly perform alleged duties relating to another fund of which DTVM is administrator and Ativos is investment manager. On Dec. 14, 2015, AssociaceãAssociacão Dosdos Profissionais Dosdos Correiros (“ADCAP”), a Brazilian postal workers association, filed a lawsuit in São Paulo against DTVM and other defendants alleging that DTVM improperly contributed to investment losses in the Postalis portfolio. On March 20, 2017, the lawsuit was dismissed without prejudice, and ADCAP has appealed that decision. On Dec. 17, 2015, Postalis filed three additional lawsuits in Rio de Janeiro against DTVM and Ativos alleging failure to properly perform alleged duties and liabilities for losses with respect to investments in several other funds. On Feb. 4, 2016, Postalis filed another lawsuit in Brasilia against DTVM, Ativos and BNY Mellon Alocação de Patrimônio Ltda., an investment management subsidiary, alleging failure to properly perform duties and liability for losses with respect to investments in various other funds of which the defendants were administrator and/or manager. The lawsuit has beenwas transferred to São Paulo.Paulo and then returned to Brasilia. On Jan. 16, 2018, the Brazilian Federal Prosecutor’s Office filed a civil lawsuit in São Paulo against DTVM alleging liability for Postalis losses based on alleged failures by DTVM to properly perform certain duties while acting as administrator to certain funds in which Postalis invested or controller of Postalis’s own investment portfolio. On April 18, 2018, the court dismissed the lawsuit without prejudice.

Depositary Receipt Litigation
Between late December 2015 and February 2016, four putative class action lawsuits were filed against BNY Mellon asserting claims relating to BNY Mellon’s foreign exchange pricing when converting dividends and other distributions from non-U.S. companies in its role as depositary bank to Depositary Receipt issuers. The claims are for breach of contract and violations of ERISA. The lawsuits have been
consolidated into two suits that are pending in federal court in the Southern District of New York.

Brazilian Silverado Litigation
DTVM acts as administrator for the Fundo de Investimento em Direitos Creditórios Multisetorial Silverado Maximum (“Silverado Maximum Fund”), which invests in commercial credit receivables. On June 2, 2016, the Silverado Maximum Fund sued DTVM in its capacity as administrator, along with Deutsche Bank S.A. - Banco Alemão in its capacity as custodian and Silverado Gestão e Investimentos Ltda. in its capacity as investment manager. The Fund alleges that each of the defendants failed to fulfill its respective duty, and caused losses to the Fund for which the defendants are jointly and severally liable.

Depositary Receipt Pre-Release Inquiry
In March 2014, the Staff of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s Enforcement Division (the “Staff”) commenced an investigation into certain issuers of American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”), including BNY Mellon, for the period of 2011 to 2015. The Staff has issued several requests to BNY Mellon for information relating to the pre-release of ADRs. In May 2017, BNY Mellon began discussions with the Staff about a possible resolution of the investigation. BNY Mellon has fully cooperated with this matter.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements(continued)

The results of our businesses are presented and analyzed on an internal management reporting basis.

Revenue amounts reflect fee and other revenue generated by each business. Fee and other revenue transferred between businesses under revenue transfer agreements is included within other revenue in each business.
Revenues and expenses associated with specific client bases are included in those businesses. For example, foreign exchange activity associated
with clients using custody products is included in Investment Services.
Net interest revenue is allocated to businesses based on the yields on the assets and liabilities generated by each business. We employ a funds transfer pricing system that matches funds with the specific assets and liabilities of each business based on their interest sensitivity and maturity characteristics.
The provision for credit losses associated with the respective credit portfolios is reflected in each business segment.


102 BNY Mellon

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements(continued)

Incentives expense related to restricted stock is allocated to the businesses.
Support and other indirect expenses are allocated to businesses based on internally developed methodologies.
Recurring FDIC expense is allocated to the businesses based on average deposits generated within each business.
Litigation expense is generally recorded in the business in which the charge occurs.
Management of the investment securities portfolio is a shared service contained in the Other segment. As a result, gains and losses associated with the valuation of the securities portfolio are included in the Other segment.
Client deposits serve as the primary funding source for our investment securities portfolio.
We typically allocate all interest revenue to the businesses generating the deposits. Accordingly, accretion related to the portion of the investment securities portfolio restructured in 2009 has been included in the results of the businesses.
M&I expense is a corporate level item and is recorded in the Other segment.
Restructuring charges relate to corporate-level initiatives and were therefore recorded in the Other segment.
Balance sheet assets and liabilities and their related income or expense are specifically assigned to each business. Businesses with a net liability position have been allocated assets.
Goodwill and intangible assets are reflected within individual businesses.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
 

Disclosure controls and procedures

Our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, with participation by the members of the Disclosure Committee, has responsibility for ensuring that there is an adequate and effective process for establishing, maintaining, and evaluating disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our SEC reports is timely recorded, processed, summarized and reported and that information required to be disclosed by BNY Mellon is accumulated and communicated to BNY Mellon’s management to allow timely decisions regarding the required disclosure. In addition, our ethics hotline can also be used by employees and others for the anonymous communication of concerns about financial controls or reporting matters. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives.

 
As of the end of the period covered by this report, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Part II - Other Information
 

Item 1. Legal ProceedingsProceedings.


The information required by this Item is set forth in the “Legal proceedings” section in Note 1718 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, which portion is incorporated herein by reference in response to this item.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

The following discussion supplements the discussion of risk factors that could affect our business, financial condition or results of operations set forth in Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors, on pages 90 through 116 of our 2016 Annual Report. The discussion of Risk Factors, as so supplemented, sets forth our most significant risk factors that could affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. However, other factors, besides that discussed below or in our 2016 Annual Report or other of our reports filed with or furnished to the SEC, also could adversely affect our business or results. We cannot assure you that the risk factors described below or elsewhere in this report and such other reports address all potential risks that we may face. These risk factors also serve to describe factors which may cause our results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements included herein or in other documents or statements that make reference to this Form 10-Q. See Forward-looking Statements.

If our resolution plan is determined not to be credible or not to facilitate an orderly resolution under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, our business, reputation, results of operations and financial condition could be materially negatively impacted. The application of our Title I preferred resolution strategy or resolution under the Title II orderly liquidation authority could adversely affect our liquidity and financial condition and our security holders.

Large BHCs must develop and submit to the Federal Reserve and the FDIC for review plans for their rapid and orderly resolution in the event of material financial distress or failure. BNY Mellon and The Bank of New York Mellon each file periodic complementary resolution plans. In April 2016, the Federal Reserve and the FDIC jointly determined that our 2015 resolution plan was not credible or would not facilitate an orderly resolution under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. The agencies issued a joint notice of deficiencies and shortcomings and the actions that
must be taken to address them, which we responded to in an Oct. 1, 2016 submission. In December 2016, the agencies jointly determined that our Oct. 1, 2016 submission adequately remedied the identified deficiencies. If the agencies determine that our future submissions are not credible or would not facilitate an orderly resolution under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, and we fail to address the deficiencies in a timely manner, the agencies may jointly impose more stringent capital, leverage or liquidity requirements or restrictions on our growth, activities or operations. If we continue to fail to adequately remedy any deficiencies identified in future submissions, we could be required to divest assets or operations that the agencies determine necessary to facilitate our orderly resolution.

Following the receipt of feedback from the Federal Reserve and the FDIC in April 2016 on our 2015 resolution plan, we determined that, in the event of our material financial distress or failure, our preferred resolution strategy under Title I of the Dodd-Frank Act is a single point of entry strategy.

In connection with our single point of entry resolution strategy, we have established the IHC to facilitate the provision of capital and liquidity resources to certain key subsidiaries in the event of material financial distress or failure. In the second quarter of 2017, we entered into a binding support agreement that required the IHC to provide that support. The support agreement required the Parent to transfer its intercompany loans and most of its cash to the IHC, and requires the Parent to continue to transfer cash and other liquid financial assets to the IHC.

If our projected liquidity resources deteriorate so severely that resolution of the Parent becomes imminent, the committed line of credit the IHC provided to the Parent will automatically terminate, with all amounts outstanding becoming due and payable, and the support agreement will require the Parent to transfer most of its remaining assets (other than stock in subsidiaries and a cash reserve to fund bankruptcy expenses) to the IHC. As a result, during a period of severe financial stress the Parent might commence bankruptcy proceedings at an earlier time than it otherwise would if the support agreement had not been implemented.

If the Parent were to become subject to a bankruptcy proceeding and our single point of entry strategy is successful, creditors of some or all of our material


BNY Mellon 109

Part II - Other Information (continued)

entities would receive full recoveries on their claims, while the Parent’s security holders, including unsecured debt holders, could face significant losses, potentially including the loss of their entire investment. It is possible that the application of the single point of entry strategy – in which the Parent would be the only legal entity to enter resolution proceedings – could result in greater losses to holders of our unsecured debt securities and other securities than the losses that could result from the application of a different resolution strategy. Further, if the single point of entry strategy is not successful, our liquidity and financial condition would be adversely affected and our security holders may, as a consequence, be in a worse position than if the strategy had not been implemented.

In addition, Title II of the Dodd-Frank Act established an orderly liquidation process in the event of the failure of a large systemically important financial institution, such as BNY Mellon, in order to avoid or mitigate serious adverse effects on the U.S. financial system. Specifically, when a U.S. G-SIB, such as BNY Mellon is in default or danger of default, and certain specified conditions are met, the FDIC may be appointed receiver under the orderly liquidation authority, and BNY Mellon would be resolved under that authority instead of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.

U.S. supervisors have indicated that a single point of entry strategy may be a desirable strategy to resolve a large financial institution such as BNY Mellon under Title II in a manner that would, similar to our preferred strategy under our Title I resolution plan, impose losses on shareholders, unsecured debt holders and other unsecured creditors of the top-tier holding company (in our case, the Parent), while permitting the holding company’s subsidiaries to continue to operate and remain solvent. Under such a strategy, assuming the Parent entered resolution proceedings and its subsidiaries remained solvent, losses at the subsidiary level could be transferred to the Parent and ultimately borne by the Parent’s security holders (including holders of the Parent’s unsecured debt securities), while third-party creditors of the Parent’s subsidiaries would receive full recoveries on their claims. Accordingly, the Parent’s security holders (including holders of unsecured debt securities and other unsecured creditors) could face losses in excess of what otherwise would have been the case.

(b)Represents the maximum value of the shares authorized to be repurchased through the second quarter of 2018, including employee benefit plan repurchases, in connection with the Federal Reserve’s non-objection to our 2017 capital plan.


On June 28, 2017, in connection with the Federal Reserve’s non-objection to our 2017 capital plan, BNY Mellon announced a share repurchase plan providing for the repurchase of up to $2.6 billion of common stock and up to an additional $500 million of common stock contingent on a prior issuance of $500 million of noncumulative perpetual preferred stock. The 2017 capital plan began in the third quarter of 2017 and continues through the second quarter of 2018. This new share repurchase plan replaces all previously authorized share repurchase plans.

Share repurchases may be executed through repurchase plans designed to comply with Rule 10b5-1 and through derivative, accelerated share repurchase and other structured transactions. The timing and exact amount of any common stock repurchases will depend on various factors, including market conditions and the common stock trading price; the Company’s capital position, liquidity and financial performance; alternative uses of capital; and legal and regulatory considerations.
