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.

How we reported results

Throughout this Form 10-Q, certain measures, which are noted as “Non-GAAP financial measures,” exclude 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.

Impact of coronavirus pandemic on our business

The coronavirus pandemic has had a significant effect on the global macroeconomic environment. The following discusses the areas of our business that have been impacted and could continue to be impacted by the current environment.

At the end of June 2020, approximately 95% of our employees continued to work from home and be fully operational with minimal disruption to servicing our clients. However, our continued reliance on work-from-home arrangements may result in increased operational risks.

Market volatility associated with the performance of global equity and fixed income markets and lower interest rates has had, and may continue to have, a considerable impact on all of our businesses. Our lower-risk diversified fee-based business model benefits from heightened volatility and a flight-to-quality on a relative basis compared with other credit-focused financial institutions.

Our Investment Services businesses were favorably impacted by higher client volumes in the first and second quarters of 2020 compared with the prior year. The significant increases in market volatility also resulted in increased client activity in foreign exchange, and higher asset servicing, clearing services in Pershing, as well as clearance and collateral management fee revenue. However, the heightened volumes and volatility were lower in the second quarter compared with the first quarter of 2020.

This volatility coupled with the interest rate environment also led to an increase in deposit levels from the prior year as our clients increased the levels of cash placed with us. This favorably impacted net interest revenue. However, the low interest rate environment has begun to more than offset that benefit and is expected to continue to reduce our net interest revenue and margin.

Given the recent levels of short-term interest rates, money market mutual funds have begun to waive fees, which reduced fee revenue in the second quarter of 2020. See further discussion of money market fee waivers in “Fee and other revenue.”

As discussed above under “Key second quarter 2020 and subsequent events,” we and the other members of the Financial Services Forum announced in March 2020 that we would suspend share repurchases through the second quarter of 2020. Additionally, in connection with the Federal Reserve’s release of the CCAR results in June 2020, BNY Mellon announced that it will not conduct open market common stock repurchases in the third quarter of 2020, as required of all participating CCAR firms, and will continue the current quarterly common stock dividend of $0.31 per share. See “Recent regulatory developments” for additional information related to the 2020 CCAR results.

The significant changes in market values during 2020 have impacted revenue related to seed capital investments (net of hedges) in our Investment and Wealth Management business, which benefited the second quarter of 2020 and negatively impacted the first quarter of 2020. Also, in the second quarter, the Investment and Wealth Management business was negatively impacted by higher money market fee waivers.

During the first quarter of 2020, we purchased $2.2 billion of commercial paper and certificates of deposit (“CDs”) from affiliated money market mutual funds in order to provide liquidity support to the funds. We also purchased $650 million in the first quarter of 2020 and $1.1 billion in the second quarter of 2020 of commercial paper and CDs from third-party money market mutual funds and funded this purchase through the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston’s Money Market Mutual Fund Liquidity Facility (“MMLF”) program. See “Recent regulatory developments” in the First Quarter 2020 Form 10-Q for additional information on the MMLF.

The need to apply macroeconomic forecasting in the current environment in conjunction with the new expected credit loss accounting guidance has resulted in and may continue to result in heightened levels of credit loss provisioning. The continuing effects of the pandemic could also result in increased credit losses and charge offs.

In addition, a prolonged economic downturn may result in other asset write-downs and impairments, including, but not limited to, equity investments, goodwill and intangibles.

It is difficult to forecast the impact of the coronavirus, together with related public health measures, on our results with certainty because so much depends on how the health crisis evolves, its impact on the global economy as well as actions taken by central banks and governments to support the economy.

The current macroeconomic environment has also resulted in responses by governmental and regulatory bodies. See “Recent regulatory developments” for additional information on legislative and regulatory
developments in response to the coronavirus pandemic.
For further discussion of the current and potential impact of the coronavirus pandemic see Item 1A. Risk Factors “The coronavirus pandemic is adversely affecting us and creates significant risks and uncertainties for our business, and the ultimate impact of the pandemic on us will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.”

Money market fee waivers

Given the recent levels of short-term interest rates, money market mutual fund fees and other similar fees have begun to be waived to protect investors from negative returns. The fee waivers are initially primarily impacting clearing services fees in Pershing, and to a lesser extent revenue in our other

businesses including investment management fees and distribution and servicing revenue in Investment Management (formerly Asset Management) and fees in other Investment Services businesses, but also result in lower distribution and servicing expense. Money market fee waivers are highly sensitive to changes in short-term interest rates and are difficult to predict, but are expected to grow over the coming quarters.

The following table presents the impact of money market fee waivers on our consolidated fee revenue, net of distribution and servicing expense. A majority of the money market fee waivers were driven by low short-term interest rates. An increase in money market balances in the second quarter 2020 compared with the first quarter 2020 resulted in an approximate $50 million increase in total fee and other revenue which partially offset the increase in money market fee waivers.

Assuming quarter-end money market balances, we expect the impact from fee waivers, net of lower distribution and servicing expense, to increase in the third quarter of 2020 by approximately $30 million to $45 million and to increase an incremental $25 million in the fourth quarter of 2020, for a full run rate of approximately $135 million to $150 million. This impact may be partially offset depending on the levels of money market balances.

Investment services fees

Investment services fees increased 2% compared with the second quarter of 2019 and decreased 1% compared with the first quarter of 2020 reflecting the following:
Asset servicing fees increased 3% compared with the second quarter of 2019 and 1% compared with the first quarter of 2020. Both increases primarily reflect higher volumes from existing clients.
Clearing services fees increased 5% compared with the second quarter of 2019 and decreased 8% compared with the first quarter of 2020.

Note:Interest and average rates were calculated on a taxable equivalent basis using dollar amounts in thousands and actual number of days in the year.
(a)Interest incomeIncludes the average impact of offsetting under enforceable netting agreements of approximately $67 billion for the second quarter of 2020, $80 billion for the first quarter of 2020 and average$51 billion for the second quarter of 2019. On a Non-GAAP basis, excluding the impact of offsetting, the yield are presented on an FTEfederal funds sold and securities purchased under resale agreements would have been 0.26% for the second quarter of 2020, 1.39% for the first quarter of 2020 and 2.57% for the second quarter of 2019.  On a Non-GAAP basis, (Non-GAAP).excluding the impact of offsetting, the rate on federal funds purchased and securities sold under repurchase agreements would have been 0.00% for the second quarter of 2020, 1.18% for the first quarter of 2020 and 2.39% for the second quarter of 2019. We believe providing the rates excluding the impact of netting is useful to investors as it is more reflective of the actual rates earned and paid.
(b)Based on the applicable tax rate of 35%.

(a)Interest incomeIncludes the average impact of offsetting under enforceable netting agreements of approximately $73 billion for the first six months of 2020 and average$47 billion for the first six months of 2019. On a Non-GAAP basis, excluding the impact of offsetting, the yield are presented on an FTEfederal funds sold and securities purchased under resale agreements would have been 0.87% for the first six months of 2020 and 2.59% for the first six months of 2019.  On a Non-GAAP basis, (Non-GAAP).excluding the impact of offsetting, the rate on federal funds purchased and securities sold under repurchase agreements would have been 0.64% for the first six months of 2020 and 2.39% for the first six months of 2019. We believe providing the rates excluding the impact of netting is useful to investors as it is more reflective of the actual rates earned and paid.

Total noninterest expense increased less than 1% compared with the third quarter of 2016 and decreased slightly compared with the second quarter of 2017.2019 and decreased 1% compared with the first quarter of 2020. The increase compared with the second quarter of 2019 primarily reflects the continued investments in technology and higher staff and pension expenses, partially offset by lower business development (travel and marketing) expense and the favorable impact of a stronger U.S. dollar. The investments in technology are included in staff, software and equipment, and professional, legal and other purchased services expenses, partially offset by lower litigation expense and bank assessment charges.expenses. The decrease compared with the first quarter of 2020 primarily reflects lower other professional, legal and other purchased services and business development (travel and marketing) expenses as well as lower bank assessment charges,and the favorable impact of a stronger U.S. dollar, partially offset by higher staff expense.

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.



BNY Mellon 13


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.

Income taxes


BNY Mellon recorded an income tax provision of $348$216 million (25.4% (18.3% effective tax rate) in the thirdsecond quarter of 2017. The income tax provision was $3242020, $264 million (24.6% (20.5% effective tax rate) in the thirdsecond quarter of 20162019 and $332$265 million (25.4% (21.6% effective tax rate) in the secondfirst quarter of 2017.2020. For additional information, see Note 1011 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.


We expect the effective tax rate to be approximately 25-26% in 2017 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 and Wealth Management (formerly 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, see Note 19 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. For information on the primary products and services in each line of business, the primary types of revenue by business and how our businesses are presented and analyzed, see Note 1824 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.Statements in our 2019 Annual Report.


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.second quarter of 2020. The results are also subject to refinements in revenue and expense allocation methodologies, which are typically reflected on a prospective basis.


In the first quarter of 2020, we reclassified the results of certain services provided between the segments from noninterest expense to fee and other revenue. This activity is offset in the Other segment and relates to services that are also provided to third parties and provides consistency with the reporting of the revenues. This adjustment had no impact on income before taxes of the businesses. Also in the first quarter of 2020, we reclassified the results related to certain lending activities from the Wealth Management business to the Pershing business. These loans were originated by the Wealth Management business as a service to Pershing clients. This resulted in an increase in total revenue, noninterest expense and income before taxes in the Pershing business and corresponding decrease in the Wealth Management business. Prior periods were restated in the first quarter of 2020 for both reclassifications.
The results of our businesses may be influenced by client and other activities that vary by quarter. In the first quarter, incentivesstaff 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.expenses; however, 2020 is expected to be different given the impact of the coronavirus pandemic. In our Investment and Wealth Management business, performance fees are typically higher in the fourth quarter,and first quarters, as the fourth quarter representsthose quarters represent 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


14 BNY Mellon


and Wealth 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 and Wealth 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.

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).

Fee revenue increased $5 million compared with the second quarter of 2017. The decrease2019 and $8 million compared with the thirdfirst quarter of 20162020, primarily reflects lower otherreflecting higher
equity investment income, driven by increased losses on our investments in renewable energy, and lower asset-related and net securities gains. The decrease compared with the second quarter of 2017 primarily reflects lease-related gains recorded in the second quarter of 2017 and lower income from corporate/bank-owned life insurance, partially offset by higher net securitiessequentially lower foreign currency translation gains.


Net interest expense decreased $3 million compared with the third quarter of 2016 and $2$4 million compared with the second quarter of 2017. Both decreases primarily reflect higher interest rates.

Critical accounting estimates


Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 20162019 Annual Report.Report and in Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q. Our critical accounting estimates are those related to the allowance for loancredit losses, and allowance for lending-related commitments, fair value of financial instruments and derivatives, other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”), goodwill and other intangibles and pension accounting,litigation and regulatory contingencies, as referenced below.

Goodwill and other intangible assets

BNY Mellon’s business segments include six reporting units for which goodwill impairment testing is performed on an annual basis. The Investment Services segment is comprised of four reporting units and the Investment and Wealth Management segment is comprised of two reporting units.

In the second quarter of 2020, we performed our annual goodwill impairment test on all six reporting units using an income approach to estimate fair values of each reporting unit. Estimated cash flows used in the income approach were based on management’s projections as of March 31, 2020. The discount rate applied to these cash flows was 10% and incorporated a 7% market equity risk premium. Estimated cash flows extend far into the future, and, by their nature, are difficult to estimate over such an extended time frame.



As a result of the annual goodwill impairment test of the six reporting units, no goodwill impairment was recognized. The fair values of five of the Company’s reporting units were substantially in excess of the respective reporting units’ carrying value. The Investment Management (formerly Asset Management) reporting unit, with $7.2 billion of allocated goodwill, which is one of the two reporting units in the Investment and Wealth Management segment, exceeded its carrying value by approximately 5%. For the Investment Management reporting unit, in the future, small changes in the assumptions, such as changes in the level of AUM and operating margin, could produce a non-cash goodwill impairment. See “Critical accounting estimates” in our 2019 Annual Report for additional information on the annual goodwill impairment test.
BNY Mellon 23
As of June 30, 2020, if the discount rate applied to the estimated cash flows was increased or decreased by 25 basis points, the fair value of the Investment Management reporting unit would decrease or increase by 4%, respectively. Similarly, if the long-term growth rate was increased or decreased by 10 basis points, the fair value of the Investment Management reporting unit would increase or decrease by approximately 1%, respectively.



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 ensure that theundertake 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.

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 third quarter of 2017, this analysis resulted in other-than-temporary credit losses of $1 million primarily in our non-agency RMBS portfolio. At Sept. 30, 2017, 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.

The following table shows the fair value of the European floating rate notes by geographical location at Sept. 30, 2017. The net unrealized loss on these securities was $6 million at Sept. 30, 2017, compared with $11 million at Dec. 31, 2016.

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$143 million in the second quarter of 20172020, primarily driven by our commercial real estate portfolio and a credit of $19 million inreflecting increased downgrades and the third quarter of 2016.

The total allowance for credit losses was $265 million at Sept. 30, 2017, $281 million at Dec. 31, 2016 and $274 million at Sept. 30, 2016. The ratiocontinuation of the total allowance for credit losses to non-margin loans was 0.59% at Sept. 30, 2017, 0.60% at Dec. 31, 2016 and 0.57% 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.challenging macroeconomic outlook.


We had $13.9$12.9 billion of secured margin loans on our balance sheet at Sept.June 30, 20172020 compared with $17.6$13.4 billion at Dec. 31, 2016 and $17.6 billion at Sept. 30, 2016.2019. We have rarely suffered a loss on these types of loans and do not allocate any of our allowance for credit losses to them.loans. As a result, we believe that the ratio of total allowance for creditloan losses and lending-related commitments as a percentage of non-margin loans is a more appropriate metric to measure the adequacy of the reserve.


Reverse repurchase agreements at June 30, 2020 were fully secured with high quality collateral. As a result, there was no allowance for credit losses related to these assets at June 30, 2020. This compares to an $18 million allowance at March 31, 2020. The decrease is driven by a reduction in exposure and improvement in collateral liquidity and values related to reverse repurchase agreements collateralized by non-agency debt securities.

The allowance for loan losses and allowance for lending-related commitments represent management’s estimate of probablelifetime expected 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 12 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, both in our 2016 Annual Report, we have allocated our allowance for credit lossesloans and lending-related commitments as follows.presented below.

The allocation of the allowance for credit losses is inherently judgmental, and the entire allowance for credit losses is available to absorb credit losses regardless of the nature of the loss.losses.


TheOur allowance for credit ratinglosses is sensitive to a number of inputs, most notably the credit ratings assigned to each borrower as well as macroeconomic forecast assumptions that are incorporated in our estimate of credit is a significant variablelosses through the expected life of the loan portfolio. Thus, as the macroeconomic environment and related forecasts change, the allowance for credit losses may change materially. The following sensitivity analyses do not represent management’s expectations of the deterioration of our portfolios or the economic environment, but are provided as hypothetical scenarios to assess the sensitivity of the allowance for credit losses to changes in determining the allowance.key inputs. If each credit were rated one grade better, the allowance would have decreased by $65$125 million, whileand if each credit were rated one grade worse, the allowance would have increased by $109$202 million. Similarly,Our multi-scenario based macroeconomic forecast used in determining the June 30, 2020
allowance for credit losses consisted of three recessionary scenarios, each of varying severity and duration. The baseline scenario reflects moderate recovery across most key variables, whereas the upside scenario is principally a V-shaped recovery, and the downside scenario is reflective of W-shaped recovery in GDP and unemployment and deeper reductions in asset prices compared to the baseline. We placed the most weight on our baseline scenario, with the remaining weighting resulting in slightly more weight placed on the downside scenario than the upside scenario. From a sensitivity perspective, at June 30, 2020, if we had applied 100% weighting to the loss given default were one rating worse,downside scenario, the allowance for credit losses would have been approximately $245 million higher.

Loan modifications

Due to the coronavirus pandemic, there have been two forms of relief provided for classifying loans as troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”): The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) and the Interagency Guidance. See Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional details on this guidance. Financial institutions may account for eligible loan modifications either under the CARES Act or lower, the allowance wouldInteragency Guidance and we have decreasedelected to apply both, as applicable, in providing borrowers with loan modification relief in response to the coronavirus pandemic.

We did not identify these modifications as TDRs. These loans were primarily residential mortgage and commercial real estate loans.

Deposits


Increased volatility coupled with the interest rate environment led to an increase in deposit levels as our clients increased the levels of cash placed with us. Total deposits were $231.0$305.5 billion at Sept.June 30, 2017,2020, an increase of 4%18%, compared with $221.5$259.5 billion at
Dec. 31, 2016. The increase in deposits primarily reflects higher interest-bearing deposits in non-U.S. offices and noninterest-bearing deposits in U.S. offices, partially offset by lower interest-bearing deposits in U.S. offices.2019.


Noninterest-bearing deposits were $80.4$78.1 billion at Sept.June 30, 20172020 compared with $78.3$57.6 billion at Dec. 31, 2016.2019. Interest-bearing deposits were $150.6$227.4 billion at Sept.June 30, 20172020 compared with $143.2$201.9 billion at Dec. 31, 2016.2019. See “Impact of coronavirus pandemic on our business” for additional information.


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,broker-
dealers, commercial paper and other borrowed funds. Certain othershort-term 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”),the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston under the MMLF program, overdrafts of sub-custodian account balances in our Investment Services businesses, capitalfinance lease obligationsliabilities and borrowings under lines of credit by our Pershing subsidiaries. Overdrafts typically relate to timing differences for settlements. The decrease in other borrowed funds compared with June 30, 2019 primarily reflects a decrease in borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank, partially offset by borrowings from the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston under the MMLF program.

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 tointo cash, the inability to hold or raise


32 BNY Mellon


cash, low overnight deposits, deposit run-off or contingent liquidity events.


We also manage liquidity risks on an intra-day 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. See “Impact of coronavirus pandemic on our business” for additional information.


The Parent’s policy is to have access to sufficient unencumbered cash and cash equivalents at each quarter-end to cover maturities and other 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.June 30, 2017,2020, the Parent was in compliance with this policy.

For additional information on our liquidity policy, see “Risk Management - Liquidity risk”Risk” in our 2016 Annual Report. Our overall approach to liquidity management is further described in “Liquidity and dividends” in our 20162019 Annual Report.


We monitor and control liquidity exposures and funding needs within and across significant legal entities, branches, currencies and business lines, taking into account, among other factors, any applicable restrictions on the transfer of liquidity among entities.

BNY Mellon also manages potential intraday liquidity risks. We monitor and manage intraday liquidity against existing and expected intraday liquid resources (such as cash balances, remaining intraday credit capacity, intraday contingency funding and available collateral) to enable BNY Mellon to meet its intraday obligations under normal and reasonably severe stressed conditions.

We define available funds for internal liquidity management purposes as liquid funds (which includecash and due from banks, interest-bearing deposits with the Federal Reserve and other central banks, interest-bearing deposits with banks and federal funds sold and securities purchased under resale agreements), cash and due from banks, and interest-bearing deposits with the Federal Reserve and other central banks.agreements.

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.

The Parent had cash of $416 million at Sept. 30, 2017, compared with $8.7 billion at Dec. 31, 2016, a decrease of $8.3 billion, primarily reflecting the transfer of cash to the IHC pursuant to the support agreement.intermediate holding company (“IHC”).

The double leverage ratio is the ratio of our equity investment in subsidiaries divided by our consolidated parentParent 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 depositsdeposit placements and government securities), the Company’s cash generating fee-based business model, with feesfee revenue representing approximately 80%79% of total revenue in the second quarter of 2020, and the dividend capacity of our banking subsidiaries.

Uses of funds


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


In August 2017,May 2020, a quarterly cash dividend of $0.31 per common share was paid to common shareholders of $0.24 per common share.shareholders. Our common stock dividend payout ratio was 23%31% for the first nine monthssecond quarter of 2017. The Federal Reserve’s instructions for2020.

In March 2020, we and the 2017 CCAR provided that, for large bank holding companies like us, dividend payout ratios exceeding 30%other members of after-tax net income would receive particularly close scrutiny.

the Financial Services Forum announced the temporary suspension of share repurchases until the end of the second quarter of 2020 to preserve capital and liquidity in order to further the objective of using capital and liquidity to support clients and customers.In the thirdsecond quarter of 2017,2020, we repurchased 12 million61.2 thousand common shares from employees, primarily in connection with the employees’ payment of taxes upon the vesting of restricted stock, at an average price of $52.74$43.59 per common share for a total cost of $650$3 million.


In connection with the Federal Reserve’s release of the CCAR results in June 2020, BNY Mellon announced that it will not conduct open market common stock repurchases in the third quarter of 2020 and will resume the common stock repurchase program as early as possible, depending on factors such as prevailing market conditions, our outlook for the economic environment, the additional capital analysis required by the Federal Reserve, and whether the Federal Reserve keeps the limitations for the third quarter of 2020 in place for subsequent quarters. The Federal Reserve has announced that it will conduct additional analysis for all participating CCAR firms, including us, later this year and will not allow participating firms to make open market common

stock repurchases during the third quarter of 2020. See “Recent regulatory developments” for additional information related to the 2020 CCAR results.

Liquidity coverage ratio (“LCR”)


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 theBNY Mellon’s consolidated HQLA at Sept.June 30, 2017,2020, and the average HQLA and average LCR for the thirdsecond quarter of 2017.2020.

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 forof at least 100% throughout the thirdsecond quarter 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.2020.


We also perform liquidity stress tests to evaluate whether the Company maintains sufficient liquidity resources under multiple stress scenarios. Stress tests 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, 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 are 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.

The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation total shareholders’ equity increased to $40.5$43.7 billion at Sept.June 30, 20172020 from $38.8$41.5 billion at Dec. 31, 2016.2019. The increase primarily reflects earnings, foreign currency translation adjustments, $638 million resulting fromthe issuance of preferred stock awards, the exercise of stock options and stock issued for employee benefit plans, and the unrealized gain in our investmenton securities portfolio,available-for-sale, partially offset by sharecommon stock repurchases and dividends.dividend payments.


In May 2020, the Parent issued 1,000,000 depositary shares, each representing a 1/100th interest in a share of the Parent’s Series G Preferred Stock. The Series G Preferred Stock has an aggregate liquidation preference of $1 billion. The Parent will pay dividends on the Series G Preferred Stock, if declared by its board of directors on each March 20 and September 20, at an annual rate equal to 4.70% from the original issue date to but excluding, Sept. 20, 2025; and at a floating rate equal to the five-year treasury rate (as defined in the certificate of designation) on the date that is three business days prior to the reset date plus 4.358% for each reset period, from and including Sept. 20, 2025. The floating rate will initially reset on Sept. 20, 2025 and subsequently on each date falling on the fifth anniversary of the preceding reset date.

The unrealized gain net of tax,(after-tax) on our available-for-sale investment securities portfolio, recordednet of hedges, included in accumulated other comprehensive incomeOCI was $226 million$1.2 billion at Sept.June 30, 2017,2020, compared with $45$361 million at Dec. 31, 2016.2019. The increase in the unrealized gain, net of tax, was primarily driven by a decrease in long-termlower market interest rates.

Our 2017 capital plan, submitted in connection with our CCAR, included the authorization to repurchase an average of $650 million of common stock each quarter starting in the third quarter of 2017 and continuing through the second quarter of 2018.
In the third quarter of 2017,six months ended June 30, 2020, we repurchased 1221.7 million common shares at an average price of $52.74$45.43 per common share for a total cost of $650 million.$988 million under the current program prior to the temporary suspension of share repurchases in March 2020.


Also includedIn connection with the Federal Reserve’s release of the CCAR results in June 2020, BNY Mellon announced that it will not conduct open market common stock repurchases in the 2017third quarter of 2020 and will resume the common stock repurchase program as early as possible, depending on factors such as prevailing market conditions, our outlook for the economic environment, the additional capital plan was a 26% increaseanalysis required by the Federal Reserve, and whether the Federal Reserve keeps the limitations for the third quarter of 2020 in place for subsequent quarters. The Federal Reserve has announced that it will conduct additional analysis for all participating CCAR firms, including us, later this year and will not allow participating firms to make open market common stock repurchases during the quarterly cash dividend to $0.24 per common share. The first paymentthird quarter of the increased quarterly cash dividend was made on Aug. 11, 2017.2020. For additional information, see “Recent Regulatory Developments.”


Capital adequacy


Regulators establish certain levels of capital for bank holding companies (“BHCs”) and banks, including BNY Mellon and our bank subsidiaries, in accordance with established quantitative measurements. For the


BNY Mellon 37


Parent to maintain its status as a financial holding company (“FHC”), our U.S. bank subsidiaries and BNY Mellon must, among other things, qualify as “well capitalized.”

As of Sept.June 30, 20172020 and Dec. 31, 2016, 2019,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”condition,” both of which are in our 20162019 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 20162019 Annual Report. BNY Mellon is subject to the U.S. capital rules, which are being gradually phased-in over a multi-year period through 2018.

Our estimated CET1Report 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.

(b)
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.
The U.S. global systemically important banks (“G-SIB”) surcharge of 1.5% is subject to change. The countercyclical capital buffer is currently set to 0%.

(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 andtotal leverage exposure, which includes certain off-balance sheet exposures. The SLR at June 30, 2020 reflects the exclusion of certain central bank placements from leverage exposure.

Our CET1 ratio determined under the Advanced ApproachApproaches was 11.1%12.6% at Sept.June 30, 20172020 and 10.6%11.5% at Dec. 31, 2016.2019. The increase primarily reflects CET1 generation,capital generated through earnings and unrealized gains on assets available-for-sale, partially offset by capital deployed through common stock repurchased, prior to the additional phase-in requirements under the U.S. capital rules that became effective Jan. 1, 2017.temporary suspension of share repurchases in March 2020, and dividend payments.


Our estimated CET1 ratio (Non-GAAP) calculated under the Advanced Approach on a fully phased-in basis was 10.7% at Sept. 30, 2017 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
fully phased-in basis was 11.9% at Sept. 30, 2017 and 11.3% at Dec. 31, 2016.

The estimated fully phased-in SLR (Non-GAAP) of 6.1% at Sept. 30, 2017 and 5.6% 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.”

For additional information on the U.S. capital rules, see “Supervision and Regulation - Capital Requirements - Generally” in our 2016 Annual 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, 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 minimumour capital ratio requirements with bufferscomponents 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 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-endperiod end and the levels and types of investments in assets. The balance sheet size fluctuates from quarterperiod to quarterperiod 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.



BNY Mellon 43


The following table presents the components of our SLR on both the transitional and fully phased-in basis forEffective April 1, 2020, custody banks, including BNY Mellon and our largest bank subsidiary, The Bank of New York Mellon.Mellon, are permitted to exclude certain central bank placements from leverage exposure used in the SLR calculation. Also, effective April 1, 2020 and lasting through March 31, 2021, BHCs are permitted to exclude U.S. Treasury securities from the leverage exposure used in the SLR calculation. This temporary exclusion increased our consolidated SLR by 40 basis points. See “Supervision and Regulation” in our 2019 Annual Report and “Recent regulatory developments” in our First Quarter 2020 Form 10-Q for additional information.


Stress capital buffer

In June 2020, the Federal Reserve notified BNY Mellon that its stress capital buffer (“SCB”) requirement will be 2.5%, equal to the regulatory minimum, effective as of Oct. 1, 2020. The SCB replaces the current 2.5% capital conservation buffer for Standardized Approach capital ratios.

The SCB final rule generally eliminates the requirement for prior approval of common stock repurchases in excess of the distributions in a firm’s capital plan, provided that such distributions do not cause a breach of the firm’s capital ratios, including the applicable capital buffer. In conjunction with the release of the 2020 CCAR results, the Federal Reserve has imposed restrictions on capital distributions for the third quarter of 2020. For more detail regarding these restrictions, see “Recent regulatory developments - CCAR 2020 results” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

External TLAC consists of the Parent’s Tier 1 capital and eligible unsecured LTD issued by it that has a remaining term to maturity of at least one year and satisfies certain other conditions. Eligible LTD consists of the unpaid principal balance of eligible unsecured debt securities, subject to haircuts for amounts due to be paid within two years, that satisfy certain other conditions. Debt issued prior to Dec. 31, 2016 has been permanently grandfathered to the extent these instruments otherwise would be ineligible only due to containing impermissible acceleration rights or being governed by foreign law.

If BNY Mellon maintains risk-based ratio or leverage TLAC measures above the minimum required level, but with a risk-based ratio or leverage below the minimum level with buffers, we will face constraints on dividends, equity repurchases and discretionary executive compensation based on the amount of the shortfall and eligible retained income.

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.

(a)Trading revenue (loss) includes realized and unrealized gains and losses primarily related to spot and forward foreign exchange transactions, derivatives and securities trades for our customers and excludes any associated commissions, underwriting fees and net interest revenue.




The number of days when revenue was generated decreased compared with the first quarter of 2020 driven by lower volumes and volatility in the second quarter of 2020.

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$14.2 billion at Sept.June 30, 20172020 and $5.7$13.6 billion atDec. 31, 2016.2019.


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$5.6 billion at Sept.June 30, 20172020 and $4.4$4.8 billion at Dec. 31, 2016.2019.


Under our fair value methodology for derivative contracts, an initial “risk-neutral” valuation is performed on each position assuming time-discounting based on a AA credit curve. In addition, we consider credit risk in arriving at the fair value of our derivatives.derivatives.


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.June 30, 2017,2020, our OTC derivative assets, including those in hedging relationships, of $3.6$4.3 billion included a CVAcredit valuation adjustment (“CVA”) deduction of $30$41 million. Our OTC derivative liabilities, including those in hedging relationships, of $3.2$3.9 billion included a debit valuation adjustment (“DVA”) of $2$1 million related to our own credit spread. Net of hedges, the CVA decreasedincreased by $1$2 million and the DVA was unchanged in the third quarter of 2017. The net impact of these adjustments increased foreign exchange and other trading revenue by less than $1 million in the third quarter of 2017.

In the second quarter of 2017, net of hedges, the CVA2020, which decreased by $3 million and the DVA decreased by $1 million. The net impact of these adjustments increased foreign exchange and other trading revenue by $2 million in the second quarter of 2017.

In the third 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 thirdfirst quarter of 2016.2020 and $1 million in the second quarter of 2019.

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. Interest rate sensitivity is quantified by calculating the change in pre-tax net interest revenue between the scenarios over a 12-month measurement period.

methodology as of Dec. 31, 2016 as we believe using the spot yield curve forTypically, the baseline scenario providesuses the average deposit balances of the last month of the quarter.

The down 100 basis point scenario was impacted by a change in our deposit assumptions. Specifically, we increased the potential changeamount of deposit balances to which we would pass through negative central bank rates in the implementationscenario.

To illustrate the net interest revenue sensitivity to deposit runoff, we note that a $5 billion instantaneous reduction of monetary policy,U.S. dollar denominated noninterest-bearing deposits would reduce the impact of depositor behavior is highly uncertain. The lowernet interest revenue 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 $35 million and approximately $65 million, respectively. The impact would be smaller if the runoff was assumed to be a mixture of interest-bearing and noninterest-bearing deposits.


GrowthFor a discussion of factors impacting the growth or contraction of deposits, see “Risk Factors - Our business, financial condition and results of operations could also be adversely affected by the following factors:if we do not effectively manage our liquidity,” in our 2019 Annual Report.

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 depositor 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 certain 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 include lending-related guaranteesSBLCs issued as part of our corporate banking business and securities lending indemnifications issued as part of our Investment Services business. See Note 1718 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a further discussion of our off-balance sheet arrangements.

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 and tangible common shareholders’ equity. BNY Mellon believes that the CET1 and other risk-based capital ratios, on a fully phased-intangible basis and the SLR, onas a fully phased-in basis, are measures of capital strength that provide additional usefulsupplement to generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) information, to investors, supplementing the capital ratios which are, or were, required by regulatory authorities. The tangible common shareholders’ equity ratio, which excludesexclude goodwill and intangible assets, net of deferred tax liabilities, includes changes in investment securities valuations which are reflected in total shareholders’ equity. BNY Mellon believesliabilities. We believe that the return on tangible common equity measure is an additional useful measureinformation for investors because it presents a measure of those assets that can generate income. BNY Mellon has provided a measure ofincome, and the tangible book value per common share which it believes providesis additional useful information as tobecause it presents the level of tangible assets in relation to shares of common stock outstanding.

BNY Mellon has presented revenue measures, which exclude the effect of noncontrolling interests related to consolidated investment management funds, and expense measures, which exclude amortization of intangible assets and M&I, litigation and restructuring charges. Operating margin, operating leverage and return on equity measures, which
exclude some or all of these items, as well as the recovery related to Sentinel, are also presented. Operating margin measures may also exclude the provision for credit losses and distribution and servicing expense. 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.


The presentation of income from consolidatedthe growth rates of investment management funds, net of net income attributable to noncontrolling interests related to the consolidation of certain investment management funds,and performance fees on a constant currency basis permits investors to view revenueassess the significance of changes in foreign currency exchange
rates. Growth rates on a constant currency basis consistent with how management viewswere determined by applying the business. BNY Mellon believescurrent period foreign currency exchange rates to the prior period revenue. We believe that these presentations,this presentation, 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.


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



BNY Mellon 49has also included the adjusted pre-tax operating margin Non-GAAP, which is the pre-tax operating margin for the Investment and Wealth Management business net of distribution and servicing expense that was passed to third parties who distribute or service our managed funds. We believe that this measure is useful when evaluating the performance of the Investment and Wealth Management business relative to industry competitors.

Our GAAP earnings include tax-advantaged investments such as low income housing, renewable energy, corporate/bank-owned life insurance and tax-exempt securities. The benefits of these investments are primarily reflected in tax expense. If reported on a tax-equivalent basis, these investments would increase revenue and income before taxes by $102 million for the third quarter of 2017, $106 million for the second quarter of 2017, $74 million for the third quarter of 2016, $309 million for the first nine months of 2017 and $225 million for the first nine months of 2016 and would increase our pre-tax operating margin by approximately 1.6% for the third quarter of 2017, 1.8% for the second quarter of 2017, 1.2% for the third quarter of 2016, 1.7% for the first nine months of 2017 and 1.3% for the first nine months of 2016.

Recent accounting and regulatory developments


Recently issuedRecent accounting standardsdevelopments


The following Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”)ASU issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) haveFASB had not yet been adopted.adopted as of June 30, 2020.


ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging: Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities2020-04, Reference Rate Reform: Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting


In August 2017,March 2020, the FASB issued an ASUDerivatives, Reference Rate Reform: Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. This ASU provides temporary optional expedients and Hedging: Targeted Improvementsexceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to Accounting for Hedging Activities. The objective of this ASU is to improve the financial reporting ofcontracts, 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 interestother transactions affected by reference 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.

reform. 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 costan entity to be eligible for capitalization. The ASU is effective for the first quarter of 2018, with early adoption permitted.make a one-time election to sell and/or transfer held-to-maturity securities that are affected by reference rate reform and were classified as held-to-maturity on or before Jan. 1, 2020. The guidance in this ASU shouldcan be applied retrospectively for the presentationadopted as 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 isMarch 12, 2020 through Dec. 31, 2022. We are 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 doesbut would 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 utilize the modified retrospective transition approach as of the beginning of the earliest period presented, which will result in a cumulative effect recorded in the earliest period presented. Additionally, the standard allows for various optional practical expedients to assist with the implementation and reporting requirements. 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 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


54 BNY Mellon


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 using the cumulative effect method of adoption. BNY Mellon does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact to the financial statements.on BNY Mellon.

On Sept. 1, 2017,June 25, 2020, the Federal Reserve adopted a final rule to require U.S. global systemically important banking organizations (“G-SIBs”)released the results of its stress tests for 2020 and additional sensitivity analyses that the U.S. operationsFederal Reserve conducted in light of foreign G-SIBs to amend their covered qualified financial contracts (“QFCs”).the coronavirus pandemic. The FDIC adopted a substantially equivalent proposalFederal Reserve also notified BNY Mellon that its SCB requirement will be 2.5%, which equals the regulatory floor. The SCB will be effective on Oct. 30, 20171, 2020. For additional information regarding the SCB, see “Recent regulatory developments - Changes to CCAR and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency is expected to do soStress Capital Buffer” in the near future. QFCs generally include derivatives, repurchase agreements and securities lending arrangements, among others. The final rule includes two key requirements.our First the final rule generally requiresQuarter
 
2020 Form 10-Q and “Supervision and Regulation - Capital Planning and Stress Testing” in our 2019 Annual Report.

In light of the changes in the financial markets and the economy, the Federal Reserve announced that QFCsall banking institutions subject to CCAR, including BNY Mellon, will be required to resubmit their capital plans. In connection with the capital plan resubmission, the Federal Reserve may recalculate CCAR firms’ SCBs (including BNY Mellon’s). For the third quarter of G-SIBs explicitly provide2020, all CCAR firms, including BNY Mellon, will only be permitted to repurchase stock in connection with employee benefit plans, pay common stock dividends that any resolution stays applicabledo not exceed an amount equal to the exerciseaverage of default rightsthe firm’s net income for the four preceding calendar quarters provided that the amount of the common stock dividend is not increased, and pay scheduled dividends on additional Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital instruments. The Federal Reserve has stated that it may extend these limitations quarter-by-quarter. Consistent with these limitations, for the third quarter, BNY Mellon plans to maintain its quarterly common stock dividend of $0.31 per share and to suspend its open market common stock repurchases. 

Volcker Covered Funds Regulations Revision

On June 25, 2020, the Federal Reserve, OCC, FDIC, Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) finalized a second major set of amendments to the implementing regulations for the provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act commonly referred to as the “Volcker Rule”. This set of amendments, which follows revisions to the proprietary trading provisions of the Volcker Rule in 2019, contains a number of targeted amendments to the Volcker Rule regulations, principally focused on the restrictions on banking entities’ investments in, sponsorship of, and other relationships with covered funds. BNY Mellon’s preliminary assessment is that the changes are favorable and reduce certain compliance burdens; however, the general prohibitions and requirements with respect to such QFCsinvestment in, sponsoring of and to any resolution transfers under U.S. special resolution regimes apply to suchtransactions with 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 rule based on the resolution or bankruptcy of an affiliate of such entities, nor allow for any transfer restrictions with respect to such QFCs.funds would remain in place.


The final rule allows G-SIBsprovision that may have the most targeted benefits to complyBNY Mellon concerns transactions with covered funds which we sponsor or advise. The amendments exempt certain transactions from the

currently applicable prohibitions, including intraday credit extensions and certain payment, clearing and settlement transactions, subject to certain conditions. Additionally, the rule by adheringamendments narrow the definition of “ownership interest,” which may reduce the compliance burden on BNY Mellon investments. The amendments will become effective on Oct. 1, 2020.

CRR “Quick Fix”

On June 27, 2020, a so-called “quick fix” to the International Swaps and Derivatives Association 2015 Universal Resolution Stay Protocol (the “Protocol”Capital Requirements Regulation (“CRR Quick Fix”) orbecame applicable. Among other things, the CRR Quick Fix enables EU credit institutions, such as The Bank of New York Mellon SA/NV, to exclude central bank deposits from leverage ratio calculations under certain conditions, including a similar protocol that accomplishesdeclaration of “exceptional circumstances” from the contractual amendments required bycredit institution’s competent authority. The leverage ratio will become a binding requirement in 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 impactEU, as part of the new regulationsCapital Requirements Regulation 2, on June 28, 2021. The extent to which the UK implements the leverage ratio exclusion of the CRR Quick Fix depends on its activities.policy stance after the end of the transition period under the EU withdrawal agreement.


Resolution plan

As required by the Dodd-Frank Act, BNY Mellon must submit annually to the Federal Reserve and the FDIC a plan for its rapid and orderly resolution 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.

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.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
 




Note 1 - 1–Basis of presentation


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.

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. For information on our significant accounting and reporting policies, see Note 1 in our 2019 Annual Report.


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’sour 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended Dec. 31, 2016.Report. Certain immaterial reclassifications have been made to prior periods to place them on a basis comparable with the 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, and liabilities at the date of the test. Step 2following accounting guidance 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 early 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),2020.

Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments

In June 2016, the numberFinancial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an ASU, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses: Measurement of stock options exercisedCredit Losses on Financial Instruments. This ASU introduces a new current expected credit losses model, which applies 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 also changes current practice for the change in value sinceimpairment model for available-for-sale debt securities by requiring the grant date.

We continueuse of an allowance to apply our accounting policy election for estimating forfeitures. Additionally, beginning in the quarter ended March 31, 2017, we report excess tax benefits related to stock-based compensation as operating activities on the statementrecord estimated credit losses and subsequent recoveries. The standard requires a cumulative effect of cash flows and the employee taxes paid will continueinitial application to be reported as financing activities.recognized in retained earnings at the date of initial application.


In conjunction with adopting the new standard, we developed expected credit loss models and approaches that include consideration of multiple forecast scenarios and other methodologies. On Jan. 1, 2020, we adopted this new accounting guidance on a prospective basis and recognized a $45 million after-tax increase in retained earnings primarily attributable to a reduction to the allowance for credit losses for our commercial lending portfolios. The comparative financial information for prior periods has not been restated. See the Consolidated Balance Sheet and Notes 4 and 5 for the disclosures required by this ASU.

Significant accounting policies

Loans

Loans are reported at amortized cost, net of any unearned income and deferred fees and costs. Certain loan origination and upfront commitment fees, as well as certain direct loan origination and commitment costs, are deferred and amortized as a yield adjustment over the lives of the related loans. Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or fair value.

Troubled debt restructuring/loan modifications

A modified loan is considered a troubled debt restructuring (“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. Credit losses related to TDRs are accounted for under an individual evaluation methodology (see “Allowance for credit losses” below). Credit losses for anticipated TDRs are accounted for similarly to TDRs and are identified when there is a reasonable expectation that a TDR will be executed with the borrower and when we expect the modification to affect the timing or amount of payments and/or the payment term.

Due to the coronavirus pandemic, there have been two forms of relief provided for classifying loans as TDRs: The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) and the Interagency Guidance (as defined below). Financial institutions
may account for eligible loan modifications either under the CARES Act or the Interagency Guidance. The Company has elected to apply both the CARES Act and the Interagency Guidance, as applicable, in providing borrowers with loan modification relief in response to the coronavirus pandemic.

The CARES Act, which became law on March 27, 2020, provides that financial institutions may, subject to certain conditions, elect to temporarily suspend the U.S. GAAP requirements with respect to loan modifications related to the coronavirus pandemic that were current as of Dec. 31, 2019 and that would otherwise be identified and treated as TDRs.

This TDR relief is applicable to modifications that were made from March 1, 2020 until the earlier of Dec. 31, 2020 or 60 days from the date the national emergency related to the coronavirus pandemic officially ends.

Various banking regulators issued guidance in the April 7, 2020 “Interagency Statement on Loan Modifications and Reporting for Financial Institutions Working with Customers Affected by the Coronavirus (revised)” (“Interagency Guidance”) on loan modification treatment pursuant to which financial institutions can apply the U.S. GAAP requirements for loan modifications. In accordance with this guidance, a loan modification is not considered a TDR if the modification is related to the coronavirus pandemic, the borrower had been current when the modification program was implemented, and the modification includes payment deferrals for not more than 6 months.

Nonperforming assets

Commercial loans are placed on nonaccrual status when principal or interest is past due 90 days or more, or when there is reasonable doubt that interest or principal will be collected.

When a first or second lien residential mortgage loan reaches 90 days delinquent, it is subject to an individual evaluation of credit loss and placed on nonaccrual status.

When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, previously accrued and uncollected interest is reversed against current period interest revenue. Interest receipts on nonaccrual loans are recognized as interest revenue or are applied to principal when


58 BNY Mellon

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements(continued)

we believe the ultimate collectability of principal is in doubt. Nonaccrual loans generally are restored to an accrual basis when principal and interest become current and remain current for a specified period.

“Allowance for credit losses” below provides additional information regarding the individual evaluation of credit losses for nonperforming loans.

Allowance for credit losses

The accounting policy for estimating credit losses related to financial assets measured at amortized cost, including loans and lending-related commitments changed beginning in the first quarter of 2020 as a result of the adoption of ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This ASU also included targeted amendments with respect to credit losses for available-for-sale debt securities. The accounting policy for determining the allowances has been identified as a “critical accounting estimate” as it requires us to make numerous complex and subjective estimates and assumptions relating to amounts which are judgmental and inherently uncertain.

Credit quality is monitored by management and is reflected within the allowance for credit losses. The allowance represents management’s estimate of expected credit losses over the expected contractual life of the financial instruments as of the balance sheet date. The allowance methodology is designed to provide procedural discipline in assessing the appropriateness of the allowance.

A quantitative methodology and qualitative framework is used to estimate the allowance for credit losses. The qualitative framework is described in further detail within “Allowance for credit losses - Other” below. The quantitative component of our estimate uses models and methodologies that categorize financial assets based on product type, collateral type, and other credit trends and risk characteristics, including relevant information about past events, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions that affect the collectability of the recorded amounts. The allowance may be determined using various methods, including discounted cash flow methods, loss-rate methods, probability of default methods or other methods that we determine to be appropriate. We estimate our expected credit losses using the
probability of default method for the majority of our financial assets. We measure expected credit losses of financial assets on a collective (pool) basis when similar risk characteristics exist. For a financial asset that does not share risk characteristics with other assets, expected credit losses are measured based on an individual evaluation method.

In our estimate, with the exception of our small home equity line of credit portfolio, available-for-sale debt securities, and individually evaluated financial assets, we utilize a multi-scenario macroeconomic forecast which includes a weighting of baseline, stronger near-term growth and moderate recession scenarios. This approach allows us to develop our estimate using a wide span of economic input variables. Our baseline scenario reflects a view on likely performance of each global region and the other two scenarios are designed relative to the baseline scenario. The scenarios include both a reasonable and supportable forecast period as well as a reversion period. The reasonable and supportable forecast is typically over a two to three-year horizon, followed by a reversion period in which the economic data reverts to long-term historical experience. In general, the forecasts across the alternative economic scenarios tend to revert toward the long-term trends after the forecast period, which is the period in which the confidence interval is considered reasonable and supportable. The speed at which the scenario specific forecasts revert is based on observed historical patterns of mean reversion that are reflected in our model parameter estimates. Certain macroeconomic variables such as unemployment or home prices take longer to revert after a contraction, though specific recovery times are scenario-specific. Reversion will usually take longer the further away the scenario specific forecast is from the historical mean. On a quarterly basis, within a developed governance structure, we update these scenarios for current economic conditions and may adjust the scenario weighting based on our economic outlook.

Allowance for credit losses - Loans and lending-related commitments

The allowance for credit losses on loans is presented as a valuation allowance to loans, and the allowance for credit losses on lending-related commitments is recorded in other liabilities. The components of the allowance for credit losses on loans and lending-related commitments consist of the following three elements:


BNY Mellon 59

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements(continued)

a pooled allowance component for higher risk-rated and pass-rated commercial and institutional credits;
a pooled allowance component for residential mortgage loans; and
an asset-specific allowance component involving individually evaluated credits of $1 million or greater.

The first element, a pooled allowance component for higher risk-rated and pass-rated commercial and institutional credits, is based on our expected credit loss model. Individual credit analyses are performed on such loans before being assigned a credit rating. All borrowers are collectively evaluated based on their credit rating. The loss expected in each loan incorporates the borrower’s credit rating, facility rating and maturity. The loss given default, derived from the facility rating, incorporates a recovery expectation, and for unfunded lending exposures, an estimate of the use of the facility at default (usage given default). The borrower’s probability of default is derived from the associated credit rating. For each of the different parameters, specific credit models are developed for each segment of our portfolio, including commercial loans and lease financing, commercial real estate, financial institutions, and other. Segmentation is established based on risk characteristics of the loans and how risk is monitored. We use both internal and external data in the development of these parameters. In estimating the term of the exposures and resulting effect on the measurement of expected credit loss, we consider the impact of potential prepayments as well as the effect of borrower extension options. Borrower ratings are reviewed at least annually and are periodically mapped to third-party databases, including rating agency and default and recovery databases, to ensure ongoing consistency and validity. Higher risk-rated loans and lending-related commitments are reviewed quarterly.

The second element, a pooled allowance component for residential mortgage loans, is determined by first segregating our mortgage pools into two categories: (i) our wealth management mortgages and (ii) our legacy mortgage portfolio disclosed as other residential mortgages. We then apply models to each portfolio to predict prepayments, default rates and loss severity. We consider historical loss experience and use a loan-level, multi-period default model which further segments each portfolio by product
type including first lien fixed rate mortgages, first lien adjustable rate mortgages, second lien mortgages, and interest-only mortgages. We calculate the mortgage loss up to loan contractual maturity and embed a reasonable and supportable forecast and macroeconomic variable inputs which are described above. For home equity lines of credit, probability of default and loss given default are based on external data from third-party databases due to the small size of the portfolio and limited internal data. Our legacy mortgage portfolio and home equity line of credit portfolios represent small sub-segments of our mortgage loans.

The third element, individually evaluated credits, is based on individual analysis of loans of $1 million and greater which no longer share the risk characteristics with other loans. Factors we consider in measuring the extent of expected credit loss include the payment status, collateral value, the borrower’s financial condition, guarantor support, the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due, anticipated modifications of payment structure or term for troubled borrowers, and recoveries if they can be reasonably estimated. We measure the expected credit loss as the difference between the amortized cost basis in the loan and the present value of the expected future cash flows from the borrower which is generally discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, or the fair value of the collateral, if the loan is collateral dependent. We generally consider nonperforming loans as well as loans that have been or are anticipated to be modified under a troubled debt restructuring for individual evaluation given the risk characteristics of such loans.

Allowance for credit losses - Securities - Debt

When estimating expected credit losses, we segment our available-for-sale and held-to-maturity debt securities portfolios by major asset class. This is influenced by whether the security is structured or non-structured (i.e., direct obligation), as well as the issuer type.

Debt securities are classified as available-for-sale securities when we intend to hold the securities for an indefinite period of time or when the securities may be used for tactical asset/liability management purposes and may be sold from time to time to effectively manage interest rate exposure, prepayment risk and liquidity needs. Available-for-sale securities


60 BNY Mellon

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements(continued)

are measured at fair value. The difference between fair value and amortized cost represents the unrealized gains or losses on assets classified as available-for-sale, and is recorded net of tax as an addition to, or deduction from, other comprehensive income, unless we determine that this difference or a portion thereof represents an expected credit loss. If we determine that a credit loss exists, the amount is recognized as an allowance for credit losses in securities - available-for sale, with a corresponding adjustment to the provision for credit losses. We evaluate credit losses at the individual security level and do not recognize credit losses if the fair value exceeds amortized cost, and if we determine that a credit loss exists, we limit the recognition of the loss to the difference between fair value and amortized cost. In our determination of whether an expected credit loss exists, we routinely conduct periodic reviews and examine various quantitative and qualitative factors that are unique to each portfolio, including the severity of the unrealized loss position, agency rating, credit enhancement, cash flow deterioration and other factors. The measurement of an expected credit loss is then based on the best estimate of the present value of cash flows to be collected from the debt security. Generally, cash flows are discounted at the effective interest rate implicit in the debt security. Changes to the present value of cash flows due to the passage of time are recognized within the allowance for credit losses.

We estimate expected credit losses for held-to-maturity debt securities using a similar methodology as described in the first allowance element within “Allowance for credit losses - Loans and lending-related commitments” above. The allowance for credit losses on held-to-maturity debt securities are recorded in securities - held-to-maturity. The components of the credit loss calculation for each major portfolio or asset class include a probability of default and loss given default and their values depend on the forecast behavior of variables in the macroeconomic environment. For structured debt securities, we estimated expected credit losses at the individual security level and use a cash flow model to project principal losses. Generally, cash flows are discounted at the effective interest rate implicit in the debt security. The difference is reflected in the allowance for credit losses, and changes to the present value of cash flows due to the passage of time are recognized within the allowance for credit losses.

We currently do not require an estimate of expected credit losses to be measured and recorded for U.S. Treasury securities, agency debt securities, as well as other debt securities that meet certain conditions that are based on a combination of factors such as guarantees, credit ratings, and other credit quality factors. These assets are monitored within our established governance structure on a recurring basis to determine if any changes are warranted.

Allowance for credit losses – Other financial instruments

We also estimate expected credit losses associated with margin loans, reverse repurchase agreements, security lending indemnifications, and deposits with third-party financial institutions using a similar methodology as described in the first allowance element within “Allowance for credit losses - Loans and lending-related commitments” above. The allowance for credit losses on reverse repurchase agreements are recorded in federal funds sold and securities purchased under resale agreements; the allowance for credit losses on securities lending indemnifications is recorded in other liabilities and the allowance for credit losses on deposits with third party financial institutions is recorded in cash and due from banks or interest-bearing deposits with banks. Our reverse repurchase agreements are short term and subject to continuous overcollateralization by our counterparties and timely collateral replenishment, when necessary. As a result, we estimate the expected credit loss related to the uncollateralized portion of the asset at the balance sheet date, if any, and when there is a reasonable expectation that the counterparty will not replenish the collateral in compliance with the terms of the repurchase agreement. This method is also applied to margin lending arrangements and securities lending indemnifications.

Allowance for credit losses - Other

We do not apply our credit loss measurement methodologies to accrued interest receivable balances related to our loan, debt securities and deposits with third party financial institutions assets given our nonaccrual policy that requires charge-off of interest receivable when deemed uncollectible. Accrued interest receivable related to these instruments is presented in total with other interest-bearing instruments in the consolidated balance sheet. Accrued interest receivable related to each major loan


BNY Mellon 61

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements(continued)

class is disclosed within our credit quality disclosure in Note 3 - Acquisitions5.


Our policy for credit losses related to purchased financial assets requires an evaluation to be performed prior to the effective purchase date to determine if more than an insignificant decline in credit quality has occurred during the period between the origination and purchase date, or in the case of debt securities, the period between the issuance and purchase date. If we purchase a financial asset with more than insignificant deterioration in credit quality, the measurement of expected credit loss is performed using the methodologies described above, and the credit loss is recorded as an allowance for credit losses on the purchase date. Subsequent to purchase, changes (favorable and unfavorable) in expected cash flows are recognized immediately in net income by adjusting the allowance. We evaluate various factors in the determination of whether a more than an insignificant decline in credit quality has occurred and these factors vary depending upon the type of asset purchased. Such factors include changes in risk rating and/or agency rating, collateral deterioration, payment status, purchase price, credit spreads, and other factors. We did not purchase any such assets during the first six months of 2020 and did not own such assets as of June 30, 2020.

We apply a separate credit loss methodology to accounts receivables to estimate the expected credit losses associated with these short-term receivables which historically have not resulted in significant credit losses. The allowance for credit losses on accounts receivable is reflected in other assets.

The qualitative component of our estimate for the allowance for credit losses is intended to capture expected losses that may not have been fully captured in the quantitative component. Through an established governance structure, management determines the qualitative allowance each period based on an evaluation of various internal and environmental factors which include: scenario weighting and sensitivity risk, credit concentration risk, economic conditions and other considerations. We may also make adjustments for idiosyncratic
risks. Once determined in the aggregate, our qualitative allowance is then allocated to each of our financial instrument portfolios except for debt securities and those instruments carried in other assets based on the respective instruments’ quantitative allowance balances. The allocation of this additional allowance for credit losses is inherently judgmental, and the entire allowance for credit losses is available to absorb credit losses regardless of the nature of the loss.

Note 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. Contingent payments totaled $2$3 million in the thirdsecond quarter of 20172020 and the first ninesix months of 2017.2020.


At Sept.June 30, 2017,2020, we are potentially obligated to pay additional consideration which, using reasonable assumptions, could range from $0$5 million to $1610 millionover the nexttwo years, but could be higher as certain of the arrangements do not contain a contractual maximum.The acquisition described below did not have a material impact on BNY Mellon’s results of operations.


AcquisitionTransaction in 20162019

BNY Mellon recorded an after-tax gain of $38$622 million plus contingent payments measured at $22 million. Goodwill related toon the sale 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.equity investment.

Allowance for credit losses - Securities

In September 2017, other residential mortgage-backedthe first quarter of 2020, we adopted new accounting guidance included in ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, on a prospective basis. The allowance for credit losses related to securities with an aggregate amortized costwas $7 million on Jan. 1, 2020 and $12 million at June 30, 2020. The increase reflects additional credit deterioration in the available-for-sale CLO portfolio. For additional information about the review of $74 millionsecurities under previous other-than-temporary impairment guidance, refer to Notes 1 and fair value of $76 million were transferred from held-to-maturity securities4, both Notes to available-for-sale securities. Due to recent ratings downgrades, the Company no longer intends to hold these securities to maturity.Consolidated Financial Statements, in our 2019 Annual Report.


Temporarily impaired securities

Credit quality indicators - Securities

At Sept.June 30, 2017,2020, the gross unrealized losses on the investment securities portfolio were primarily attributable to an increase in interest ratescredit spreads from the 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$55 million of the unrealized losses at Sept.June 30, 20172020 and $190$65 million at Dec. 31, 20162019 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.

The following table shows the credit quality of the held-to-maturity securities. 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 could indicate increased credit risk for us and could be accompanied by a reduction in the fair value of our securities portfolio.

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, 2017 and Dec. 31, 2016.

BNY Mellon regularly moves assets in and out of its pledged assets account at the Federal Reserve.


At Dec. 31, 2016,2019, BNY Mellon had pledged assets of $102$118 billion, including $84$80 billion pledged as collateral for potential borrowing at the Federal Reserve Discount Window.Window and $6 billion pledged as collateral for borrowing at the Federal Home Loan Bank.

At June 30, 2020, we pledged commercial paper and CDs totaling $1.5 billion as collateral to the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston to secure non-recourse borrowings under the Federal Reserve’s Money Market Mutual Fund Liquidity Facility (“MMLF”) program.

We also obtain securities as collateral, including receipts under resale agreements, securities borrowed, derivative contracts and custody agreements, on terms which permit us to sell or repledge the securities to others. At Sept.June 30, 20172020 and Dec. 31, 2016,2019, the market value of the securities received that can be sold or repledged was $68$107 billion and $50$153 billion, respectively. We routinely sell or repledge these securities through delivery to third parties. As of Sept.June 30, 20172020 and Dec. 31, 2016,2019, the market value
of securities collateral sold or repledged was $39$72 billion and $20$107 billion, respectively.

TroubledLoan modifications

Due to the coronavirus pandemic, there have been two forms of relief provided for classifying loans as TDRs: The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) and the Interagency Guidance. See Note 2 for additional details on the CARES Act and Interagency Guidance. Financial institutions may account for eligible loan modifications either under the CARES Act or the Interagency Guidance. The Company has elected to apply both the CARES Act and the Interagency Guidance, as applicable, in providing borrowers with loan modification relief in response to the coronavirus pandemic. We modified loans totaling $282 million in the second quarter of 2020 by providing short-term loan payment forbearances or modified principal and/or interest payments. We did
not identify these modifications as troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”)

A modified loan is considered a TDR if the debtor is experiencing financial difficulties. These loans were primarily residential mortgage and the creditor grants a concession to the debtor that would not
otherwise be considered. A TDR may include a transfer ofcommercial real estate or other assets fromloans. During the debtor to the creditor, or aloan modification of the term of the loan. Not all modifiedperiod, these loans are considered TDRs.

Other residential mortgages

The modifications of thenot reported as nonperforming or past due. We modified other residential mortgage loans totaling $1 million in both the third quarter of 2017, second quarter of 20172019 and thirdfirst quarter of 2016 consisted of reducing the stated interest rates and, in certain cases, a forbearance of default and extending the maturity dates. The modified loans are primarily collateral dependent for which the value is based on the fair value of the collateral.2020.

TDRs that subsequently defaulted

There were three residential mortgage loans that had been restructured in a TDR during the previous 12
months and have subsequently defaulted in the third quarter of 2017. The total recorded investment of these loans was less than $1 million.


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.

Commercial loans

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, which are generally consistent with the ratings categoriesthose 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.


Commercial real estate

Our income-producing commercial real estate facilities are focused on experienced owners and are structured with moderate leverage based on existing cash flows. Our commercial real estate lending activities also include construction and renovation facilities.

Financial institutions

Financial institution exposures are high quality, with 95% of the exposures meeting the investment grade equivalent criteria of our internal credit rating classification at June 30, 2020. In addition, 75% of the financial institutions exposure is secured. For example, securities industry clients and asset managers often borrow against marketable securities held in custody. The exposure to financial institutions is generally short-term with 90% expiring within one year.

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 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.

At Sept.June 30, 2017,2020, the wealth management mortgage portfolio consisted of the following geographic concentrations: California - 24%23%; New York - 19%17%; Massachusetts - 11%10%; Florida - 8%; and other - 38%42%.


Lease financing

At June 30, 2020, the lease financings portfolio consisted of exposures backed by well-diversified assets, primarily large-ticket transportation equipment and real estate. The largest component of our lease residual value exposure is freight-related rail. Assets are both domestic and foreign-based, with primary concentrations in the U.S. and Germany.

Other residential mortgages


The other residential mortgage portfolio primarily consists of 1-4 family residential mortgage loans and totaled $741$450 million at Sept.June 30, 20172020 and $854$494 million at Dec. 31, 2016.2019. These loans are not
typically correlated to external ratings. Included in this portfolio at Sept.June 30, 2017 are $1812020 were $81 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, the purchased loans in this portfolio had a weighted-average loan-to-value ratio of 76% at origination and 11%which 25% 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$4.2 billion at Sept.June 30,
2017 2020 and $5.5$2.7 billion at Dec. 31, 2016.2019. Overdrafts occur on a daily basis 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$12.9 billion of secured margin loans on our balance sheet at Sept.June 30, 20172020, compared with $17.6$13.4 billion at Dec. 31, 2016.2019. 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 ourloans.

Reverse repurchase agreements

Reverse repurchase agreements at June 30, 2020 were fully secured with high quality collateral. As a result, there was 0 allowance for credit losses related to margin loans.

Reversethese assets at June 30, 2020. This compares to an $18 million allowance at March 31, 2020.  The decrease is driven by a reduction in exposure and improvement in collateral liquidity and values related to reverse repurchase agreements collateralized by non-agency debt securities.

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.

Contract balances

Our clients are billed based on fee schedules that are agreed upon in each customer contract. Receivables from customers were $2.4 billion at both June 30, 2020 and Dec. 31, 2019.

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 $69 million at June 30, 2020 and $32 million at Dec. 31, 2019. Accrued revenues recorded as contract assets are usually billed on an annual basis.

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 $195 million at June 30, 2020 and $168 million at Dec. 31, 2019. Contract liabilities are included in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. Revenue recognized in the second quarter of 2020 relating to contract liabilities as of March 31, 2020 was $58 million. Revenue recognized in the first six months of 2020 relating to contract liabilities as of Dec. 31, 2019 was $78 million.
Changes in contract assets and liabilities primarily relate to either party’s performance under the contracts.

Contract costs

Incremental costs for obtaining contracts 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 $80 million at June 30, 2020 and $86 million at Dec. 31, 2019. 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 on the consolidated income statement, totaled $5 million in the second quarter of 2020, second quarter of 2019 and first quarter of 2020 and $10 million in both the first six months of 2020 and first six months of 2019.

Costs to fulfill a contract are capitalized when they relate directly to an existing contract or a 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 the inception of a contract which enables the fulfillment of the performance obligation, and totaled


BNY Mellon 77

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements(continued)

$14 million at June 30, 2020 and $16 million at Dec. 31, 2019. These capitalized costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the expected contract period, which generally ranges from seven to nine years. The amortization is included in other expense on the consolidated income statement and totaled $2 million in the second quarter of 2020 and second quarter of 2019, $1 million in the first quarter of 2020 and $3 million in the first six months of 2020 and first six months of 2019. There were 0 impairments recorded on capitalized contract costs in the first six months of 2020.
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 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.

The income tax provision was $3242020, $264 million (24.6% (20.5% effective tax rate) in the thirdsecond quarter of 20162019 and $332$265 million (25.4% (21.6% effective tax rate) in the secondfirst quarter of 2017.2020.


Our total tax reserves as of Sept.June 30, 20172020 were $157$178 million compared with $143$173 million at June 30, 2017.Dec. 31, 2019. If these tax reserves were unnecessary, $157$178 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.June 30, 20172020 is accrued interest, where applicable, of $24
$34 million. The additional tax expense related to interest for the ninesix months ended Sept.June 30, 20172020 was $7$3 million, compared with $2$6 million for the ninesix months ended Sept.June 30, 2016.2019.


It is reasonably possible the total reserve for uncertain tax positions could decrease within the next 12 months by approximately $57$100 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 2013.2016. Our New York State,New York City and UK income tax returns are closed to examination through 2012.

The VIEs 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.

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 1820 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 20162019 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.June 30, 20172020 and Dec. 31, 2016,2019, 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 third quarter of 2017.

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 parameters 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

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 months 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.

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 $369399 million at Sept.June 30, 20172020 and $363$387 million at Dec. 31, 2016.2019. The long-term debt is valued using observable market inputs and is included in Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.


The following table presents the changes in fair value of long-term debt recorded in foreign exchange and certain loans for which we elected the fair value option that we previously held in 2016, and the location of the changesother trading revenue in the consolidated income statement.

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 no0 counterparty default losses recorded in the thirdsecond quarter of 2017 or the third quarter of 2016.2020.


Hedging derivatives


We utilize interest rate swap agreements to manage our exposure to interest rate fluctuations. ForWe enter into fair value hedges of available-for-sale investment securities, deposits and long-term debt, the hedge documentation specifies the terms of the hedged items and theas an interest rate swaps and indicates that the derivative is hedging a fixed rate item and is a fair value hedge, that the hedge exposure isrisk management strategy to the changes in the fair value of the hedged item due to changes in benchmark interest rates, and that the strategy is to eliminatereduce fair value variability by converting certain fixed rate interest payments associated with available-for-sale securities and long-term debt to LIBOR.floating interest rates. We also utilize interest rate swaps and forward exchange contracts as cash flow hedges to manage our exposure to interest rate and foreign exchange rate changes.

The available-for-sale investment securities hedged consist of U.S. Treasury, bonds, agency and non-agency commercial MBS, sovereign debtdebt/sovereign guaranteed, corporate bonds and foreign covered bonds that had original maturitiesbonds. At June 30, 2020, $13.9 billion par value 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, $12.4 billion face amount ofavailable-for-sale securities were hedged with interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges that had notional values of $12.3$13.9 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-callableIn fair value hedging relationships, 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.June 30, 2017, $24.22020, $13.9 billion par value of debt was
hedged with interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges that had notional values of $24.2$13.9 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 nine12 months or less as cash flow hedges to hedge our foreign exchange exposure to currencies such as Indian rupee, British pound, Hong Kong dollar, Singapore dollar and Polish zloty Canadian dollar and Japanese yen foreign exchange exposure with respect to foreign currency forecastedused in revenue and expense transactions infor entities that have the U.S. dollar as their functional currency. As of Sept.June 30, 2017,2020, the hedged forecasted foreign currency transactions and designated forward foreign exchange contract hedges were $539$312 million (notional), with a pre-tax loss of $9$3 million recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income.OCI. This loss will be reclassified to income or expenseearnings over the next nine12 months.


We also utilize forward foreign exchange contracts as fair value hedges of the foreign exchange risk associated with available-for-sale securities. Forward points are designated as an excluded component and amortized into earnings over the hedge period. The unamortized derivative value associated with the excluded component is recognized in accumulated OCI. At June 30, 2020, $131 million par value of available-for-sale securities was hedged with foreign currency forward contracts that had a notional value of $131 million.

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.June 30, 2017,2020, forward foreign exchange contracts with notional amounts totaling $7.8$7.6 billion were designated as net investment hedges.


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

(a)The fair value of asset derivatives and liability derivatives designated as hedging instruments is recorded as other assets and other liabilities, respectively, on the consolidated balance sheet.
(b)For derivative transactions settled at clearing organizations, cash collateral exchanged is deemed a settlement of the derivative each day. The settlement reduces the gross fair value of derivative assets and liabilities and results in a corresponding decrease in the effect of master netting agreements, with no impact to the consolidated balance sheet.
(c)The fair value of asset derivatives and liability derivatives not designated as hedging instruments is recorded as trading assets and trading liabilities, respectively, on the consolidated balance sheet.
(c)(d)Fair values are on a gross basis, before consideration of master netting agreements, as required by ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging.
(d)(e)
Effect of master netting agreements includes cash collateral received and paid of $834$869 million and $1,239$1,046 million, respectively, at Sept.June 30, 20172020, and $1,119$1,022 million and $909$618 million, respectively, at Dec. 31, 20162019.




Trading activities (including trading derivatives)

Our trading activities are focused on acting as a market-maker for our customers, facilitating customer trades and risk mitigating economic hedging in compliance with the Volcker Rule. The change in the fair value of the derivatives utilized in our trading activities is recorded in foreign exchange and other trading revenue on the consolidated income statement.

Foreign exchange revenue includes income from purchasing and selling foreign currencies and
currency forwards, futures and options. Other trading revenue reflects results from trading in cash instruments, including fixed income and equity securities and non-foreign exchange derivatives.

We also use derivative financial instruments as risk mitigating economic hedges, which are not formally designated as accounting hedges. This includes hedging the impactforeign currency, interest rate or market risks inherent in some of derivative instruments usedour balance sheet exposures, such as seed capital investments and deposits, as well as certain investment management fee revenue streams. We also use total return swaps to economically hedge obligations arising from the Company’s deferred compensation plan whereby the participants defer compensation and earn a return linked to the performance of investments they select. The gains or losses on these total return swaps are recorded in fair value, cash flowstaff expense on the consolidated income statement and net investment hedging relationshipswere gains of $28 million in the income statement.second quarter of 2020 and $5 million in the second quarter of 2019, losses of $41 million in the first quarter of 2020 and $13 million in the first six months of 2020 and a gain of $23 million in the first six months of 2019.

Trading activities (including trading derivatives)

We manage trading risk through a system of position limits, a VaRvalue-at-risk (“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 ininto other risk management materials.

Foreign exchange revenue includes income from purchasing and selling foreign currencies and currency forwards, futures and options. Other trading revenue reflects results from futures and forward contracts, interest rate swaps, structured foreign currency swaps, options, equity derivatives and fixed income and equity securities.


Counterparty credit risk and collateral


We assess the credit risk of our counterparties through regular examination of their financial statements, confidential communication with the management of those counterparties and regular monitoring of 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 and/or highly liquid government securities. Collateral requirements are monitored and adjusted daily.


Additional disclosures concerning derivative financial instruments are provided in Note 14 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.15.


Disclosure of contingent features in OTCover-the-counter (“OTC”) derivative instruments


Certain OTC derivative contracts and/or collateral agreements contain credit-risk contingent features triggered upon a rating downgrade in which the counterparty has the right to request additional collateral or the right to terminate the contracts in a net liability position.

The following table shows the aggregate fair value of OTC derivative contracts in net liability positions that contained credit-risk contingent features and the value of collateral that has been posted.

The aggregate fair value of OTC derivative contracts containing credit-risk contingent features can fluctuate from quarter to quarter due to changes in market conditions, composition of counterparty trades, new business or changes to the contingent features.

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.

96 BNY Mellon

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$32.6 billion in less than one year, $20.0$16.2 billion in one to five years and $158$319 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$185 million at Sept.June 30, 20172020 and $293$184 million at Dec. 31, 2016.2019. At Sept.June 30, 2017, $2.32020, $1.7 billion of the SBLCs will expire within one year, and $1.2 billion$545 million in one to five years and $48$7 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 million at Sept. 30, 2017 and $112 million at Dec. 31, 2016.


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 creditJune 30, 2020
Dec. 31, 2019
  
Investment grade89%90%
Non-investment grade11%10%

Standby letters of creditSept. 30, 2017
Dec. 31, 2016
  
Investment grade86%89%
Non-investment grade14%11%




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$59 million at Sept.June 30, 20172020 and $339$74 million at Dec. 31, 2016.2019.


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.
The allowance for lending-related commitments was $152 million at June 30, 2020 and $94 million at Dec. 31, 2019.

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 of102%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$424438 billionatJune 30, 2020 and $428 billion at Sept. 30, 2017 and $331 billion at Dec. 31, 2016.2019.


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. June 30, 20172020 and Dec. 31, 2016, $652019, $58 billion and $61$57 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 $62 billion and $64$61 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.

Unsettled repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements

In the normal course of business, we enter into repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements that settle at a future date. In repurchase agreements, BNY Mellon receives cash from and provides securities as collateral to a counterparty at settlement. In reverse repurchase agreements, BNY Mellon advances cash to and receives securities as collateral from the counterparty at settlement. These transactions are recorded on the consolidated balance sheet on the settlement date. At June 30, 2020, we had 0 unsettled repurchase agreements and 0 unsettled reverse repurchase agreements.

ExposureSponsored Member Repo Program

BNY Mellon is a sponsoring member in the FICC sponsored member program, where we submit eligible overnight repurchase and reverse repurchase transactions in U.S. Treasury securities (“Sponsored
Member Transactions”) between BNY Mellon and our sponsored member clients for certain administrative errors

Innovation and clearing through FICC pursuant to the FICC Government Securities Division rulebook (the “FICC Rules”). We also guarantee to FICC the prompt and full payment and performance of our sponsored member clients’ respective obligations under the FICC Rules in connection with certain offshore tax-exempt funds that we manage, we may be liable to the fundssuch clients’ Sponsored Member Transactions. We minimize our credit exposure under this guaranty by obtaining a security interest in our sponsored member clients’ collateral and rights under Sponsored Member Transactions. See “Offsetting assets and liabilities” in Note 17 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 accruedadditional information on our repurchase and the additional reasonably possible exposure is not significant.reverse repurchase agreements.


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 proceedingsrelated 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.June 30, 20172020 and Dec. 31, 2016,2019, 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


98 BNY Mellon

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements(continued)

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.June 30, 20172020 and Dec. 31, 2016,2019, we havedid not recordedrecord any material liabilities under these arrangements.


Legal proceedings


In the ordinary course of business, BNYThe Bank of New York Mellon Corporation 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 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 incomeour results of operations 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 establisheswe establish 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 toWe regularly 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 doeswe do not establish an accrual and the matter will continuecontinues to be monitored for any developments that would make the loss contingency both probable and reasonably estimable. BNY Mellon believesWe believe that itsour 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 incomethe results of operations in a given period. In addition, if we have the potential to recover a portion of an estimated loss from a third party, we record a receivable up to the amount of the accrual that is probable of recovery.


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$730 million in excess of the accrued liability (if any) related to those matters.
For matters where a reasonably possible loss is denominated in a foreign currency, our estimate is adjusted quarterly based on prevailing exchange rates. We do not consider potential recoveries when estimating reasonably possible losses.

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 SECSecurities and Exchange Commission (“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 152 putative class action proceedings against Pershing: one in November 2009 in Texas federal court, and one in May 2016 in New Jersey federal court. NaN lawsuits have been filed against Pershing that are pending in Texas, including two putative class actions.Louisiana, Florida and New Jersey federal courts in January 2010, January and February 2015, October 2015 and May 2016. The purchasers allege that Pershing, as SGC’s clearing firm, assisted Stanford in a fraudulent scheme and assert contractual, statutory and common law claims. In March 2019, a group of investors filed a putative class action against The remaining FINRA action hasBank of New York Mellon in New Jersey federal court, making the same allegations as in the prior actions brought against Pershing. All of the cases that have been resolvedbrought in federal court against Pershing and dismissed.the case brought against The Bank of New York Mellon have been consolidated in Texas federal court for discovery purposes. On Dec. 19, 2019, the Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit affirmed the dismissal of 6 individual federal lawsuits brought under Florida law, which will also apply to four other similarly situated cases. On March 18, 2020, the plaintiffs in those lawsuits filed a Petition for Writ of Certiorari seeking permission to appeal to the United States Supreme Court. Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) arbitration proceedings also have been initiated by alleged purchasers asserting similar claims.

German Tax Matters

German authorities are investigating past “cum/ex” trading, which involved the purchase of equity securities on or shortly before the dividend date, but settled after that date, potentially resulting in an unwarranted refund of withholding tax. German authorities have taken the view that past cum/ex trading may have resulted in tax avoidance or evasion. European subsidiaries of BNY Mellon 101

Depositary Receipt Pre-Release Inquiry
have been informed by German authorities about investigations into potential cum/ex trading by certain third-party investment funds, where one of the subsidiaries had acquired entities that served as depositary and/or fund manager for those third-party investment funds. We have received information requests from the authorities relating to pre-acquisition activity and are cooperating fully with those requests. We have not received any tax demand concerning cum/ex trading. In August 2019, the District Court of Bonn ordered that one of these subsidiaries be joined as a secondary party in connection with the prosecution of unrelated individual defendants. Trial commenced in September 2019. In March 2014,2020, the Staffcourt stated that it would refrain from taking action against the subsidiary in order to expedite the conclusion of the U.S. Securitiestrial. The court convicted the unrelated individual defendants, and Exchange Commission’s Enforcement Division (the “Staff”) commenced an investigation into certain issuersdetermined that the cum/ex trading activities of American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”), including BNY Mellon, for the period of 2011 to 2015.

Note 18 - 19–Lines of business


We have an internal information system that produces performance data along product and service lines for our two2 principal businesses and the Other segment. The primary products and services and types of revenue for our principal businesses and a description of the Other segment are presented in Note 24 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2019 Annual Report.


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.


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.second quarter of 2020. The results are also subject to refinements in revenue and expense allocation methodologies, which are typically reflected on a prospective basis.


In the first quarter of 2020, we reclassified the results of certain services provided between the segments from noninterest expense to fee and other revenue. This activity is offset in the Other segment and relates to services that are also provided to third parties and provides consistency with the reporting of the revenues. This adjustment had no impact on income before taxes of the businesses. Also in the first quarter of 2020, we reclassified the results related to certain lending activities from the Wealth Management business to the Pershing business. These loans were originated by the Wealth Management business as a service to Pershing clients. This resulted in an increase in total revenue, noninterest expense and income before taxes in the Pershing business and corresponding decrease in the Wealth Management business. Prior periods were restated in the first quarter of 2020 for both reclassifications.

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.


Changes in internal control over financial reporting


In the ordinary course of business, we may routinely modify, upgrade or enhance our internal controls and procedures for financial reporting. There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act during the thirdsecond quarter of 20172020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

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 FactorsFactors.


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,1A., Risk Factors, on pages 9075 through 11699 of our 20162019 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 thatthose discussed below or in our 20162019 Annual Report or other of our reports filed with or furnished to the SEC, also could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results.results of operations. 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“Forward-looking Statements.


If our resolution planThe coronavirus pandemic is determined not to be credible or not to facilitate an orderly resolution under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code,adversely affecting us and creates significant risks and uncertainties for our business, reputation, resultsand the ultimate impact of operationsthe pandemic on us will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.

The coronavirus pandemic has negatively affected the global economy, decreased liquidity in fixed income markets, created significant volatility and disruption in financial condition could be materially negatively impacted. The applicationand equity markets, increased unemployment levels and disrupted businesses in many industries. This has resulted in increased demand on our transaction processing and clearance capabilities in many of our Title I preferred resolution strategy or resolutionInvestment Services businesses and volatility in the levels and mix of the assets under the Title II orderly liquidation authority could adversely affectmanagement of our liquidityInvestment and financial condition and our security holders.

Large BHCs must develop and submitWealth Management business. Moreover, governmental actions in response to the Federal Reservepandemic are meaningfully influencing the interest rate environment, which has reduced, 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 thatis expected to
 
must be takencontinue to address them, whichreduce, our net interest margin. As a result, we respondedhave granted and may continue to grant money market fee waivers. The effects of the pandemic have resulted, and could continue to result, in higher and more volatile provisions for credit losses for financial instruments subject to ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, held by us. The continuing effects of the pandemic could also result in increased credit losses and charge-offs, particularly if our credit exposures continue to increase and as more clients and customers experience credit deterioration, as well as increased risk of other asset write-downs and impairments, including, but not limited to, equity investments, goodwill and intangibles. Any of these events could potentially result in a material adverse impact on our business and results of operations.

In addition, reliance on work-from-home capabilities by us, our clients and other industry participants, as well as the potential inability to maintain critical staff in operational facilities due to stay-at-home orders across jurisdictions, illness and quarantines present heightened cybersecurity, information security and operational risks. Any disruption to our ability to deliver services to our clients and customers could result in potential liability to our clients and customers, regulatory fines, penalties or other sanctions, increased operational costs or harm to our reputation.

The pandemic has resulted in an Oct. 1, 2016 submission. In December 2016,increase in our balance sheet and volatility in risk-weighted assets, as we experience elevated deposit levels. Moreover, on March 15, 2020, we, along with 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 Iother member banks of the Dodd-Frank Act is a single point of entry strategy.

In connection with our single point of entry resolution strategy,Financial Services Forum, announced that 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. Inwould temporarily suspend share repurchases through the second quarter of 2017, we entered into a binding2020 to preserve capital and liquidity in order to further our objective of using our capital and liquidity to support agreementour clients and customers. Further, in June 2020, the Federal Reserve announced that it has required the IHCparticipating CCAR firms, including us, to provideupdate and resubmit their capital plans and 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. Asas a result, unless otherwise approved by the Federal Reserve, participating firms would not be permitted, during a periodthe third quarter of severe financial stress2020, to conduct open market common stock repurchases, to increase their common stock dividends or to pay common stock dividends that exceed average net income for the Parent might commence bankruptcy proceedings at an earlier time thanpreceding four quarters. The Federal Reserve also stated that 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 materialmay extend these limitations quarter-by-quarter. Our

Further, if the single point of entry strategy is not successful, ourbusiness, financial condition, liquidity and financial condition would be adversely affected andresults of operations, as well as 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 effectsregulatory capital, will depend 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 conditionsfuture developments, which 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.

Under such a strategy, assuming the Parent entered resolution proceedings and its subsidiaries remained solvent, losses at the subsidiary level could be transferredwork-from-home arrangements, actions taken by governmental authorities in response to the Parentpandemic, as well as the direct and ultimately borne byindirect impact on us, our clients and customers, and third parties.

Accordingly, the Parent’s security holders (including holders of unsecured debt securitiesForm 10-K and other unsecured creditors) could face losses in excess of what otherwise would have been the case.any subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q.

In connection with the Federal Reserve’s release of the CCAR results in June 2020, BNY Mellon announced that it will not conduct open market common stock repurchases in the third quarter of 2020 and will resume the common stock repurchase program as early as possible, depending on factors such as prevailing market conditions, our outlook for the economic environment, the additional capital analysis required by the Federal Reserve, and whether the Federal Reserve keeps the limitations for the third quarter of 2020 in place for subsequent quarters. The Federal Reserve has announced that it will conduct additional analysis for all participating CCAR firms later this year and will not allow participating firms to
