The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation 4Q09 Quarterly Earnings Review

NON-GAAP MEASURES

BNY Mellon has included in this review certain Non-GAAP measures based upon tangible common shareholders’ equity. BNY Mellon believes that the ratio of tangible common shareholders’ equity to tangible assets, is a measure of capital strength that adds additional useful information to investors, supplementing the Tier 1 capital ratio which is utilized by regulatory authorities. Unlike the Tier 1 ratio, the tangible common shareholders’ equity ratio fully incorporates those changes in investment securities valuations which are reflected in shareholders’ equity. In addition, this ratio is expressed as a percentage of the actual book value of assets, as opposed to a percentage of a risk-based reduced value established in accordance with regulatory requirements, although BNY Mellon in its calculation has excluded certain assets which are given a zero percent risk-weighting for regulatory purposes. This ratio is also informative to investors in BNY Mellon’s common stock because, unlike the Tier 1 capital ratio, it excludes preferred stock and trust preferred securities issued by BNY Mellon. Further, BNY Mellon believes that the return on tangible common equity measure, which excludes goodwill and intangible assets net of deferred tax liabilities, is a useful additional measure for investors because it presents a measure of BNY Mellon’s performance in reference to those assets which are productive in generating income.

BNY Mellon has provided the measure of tangible book value per share, which it believes provides additional useful information as to the level of such assets in relation to shares of common stock outstanding. BNY Mellon has presented revenue measures which exclude the effect of investment securities gains (losses) and expense, pre-tax income and net income measures excluding items, such as merger and integration (“M&I”) expenses, intangible amortization expenses, support agreement charges, asset-based taxes, the FDIC special assessment, investment securities gains (losses), discrete tax benefits and the benefit of tax settlements. Return on equity measures and operating margin measures which exclude some or all of these items are also presented. BNY Mellon believes that these measures are useful to investors because they permit a focus on period to period comparisons which relate to the ability of BNY Mellon to enhance revenues and limit expenses in circumstances where such matters are within BNY Mellon’s control. The excluded items in general relate to situations where accounting rules require certain ongoing charges as a result of prior transactions, or where valuation or other accounting/regulatory requirements require charges unrelated to operational initiatives. M&I expenses relate to our Corporate Trust acquisition in 2006 and to the merger with Mellon Financial Corporation in 2007. M&I expenses generally continue for approximately three years after the transaction, and can vary on a year-to-year basis depending on the stage of the integration. BNY Mellon believes that the exclusion of M&I expenses provides investors with a focus on BNY Mellon’s business as it would appear on a consolidated going-forward basis, after such M&I expenses have ceased, typically after approximately three years. Future periods will not reflect such M&I expenses, and thus may be more easily compared to our current results if M&I expenses are excluded. With regards to the exclusion of investment securities losses, BNY Mellon’s primary businesses are Asset and Wealth Management and Institutional Services. The management of these sectors is evaluated on the basis of the ability of these businesses to generate fee and net interest revenue and to control expenses, and not on the results of BNY Mellon’s investment securities portfolio. Management of the investment securities portfolio is a shared service contained in the Other segment. The primary objective of the investment securities portfolio is to generate net interest revenue from the liquidity generated by BNY Mellon’s processing businesses. BNY Mellon does not generally originate or trade the securities in the investment securities portfolio. As a result, BNY Mellon believes that presenting measures which exclude investment securities losses from its results, as a supplement to GAAP information, gives investors a clearer picture of the results of its primary businesses. Restructuring charges relate to migrating positions to global growth centers and the elimination of certain positions. Discrete tax benefits relate to a tax loss on mortgages. Excluding these benefits permits investors to calculate the tax impact for BNY Mellon’s primary businesses.

In this earnings review, certain amounts are presented on an FTE basis. We believe that this presentation provides comparability of amounts arising from both taxable and tax exempt sources, and is consistent with industry practice. The adjustment to an FTE basis has no impact on net income.

Each of these measures as described above is used by management to monitor financial performance, both on a company-wide and on a business segment basis. Below is a listing of certain financial measures which have been impacted by the exclusion and/or adjustment of certain items.

Revenue: Investment securities gains (losses).

Noninterest expense: M&I expenses; intangible amortization expense, support agreement charges, FDIC special assessment and restructuring charges.

Earnings per share: Investment securities gains (losses), M&I expenses, restructuring charges, FDIC special assessment, support agreement charges, intangible amortization expense, discrete tax benefits and the benefit of tax settlements.

N/M – Not meaningful.

KEY POINTS

• Asset servicing fees – Year-over-year and sequential growth reflect higher market values and net new business.

• Securities lending revenue – The year-over-year and sequential results reflect lower spreads and volumes.

• Issuer services fees – The decrease year-over-year reflects lower Shareowner services revenue from lower corporate action activity and the impact of lower equity values on employee stock option plans; lower Depositary Receipts revenue due primarily to a decline in transaction fees; and lower Corporate Trust fees due to lower money market related distribution fees. The sequential increase primarily reflects seasonally higher Depositary Receipts revenue, partially offset by lower Corporate Trust fees due to lower money market related distribution fees and lower Shareholder services revenue.

• Clearing services fees – Year-over-year and sequential results reflect lower money market related distribution fees and lower trading volumes.

• Asset and wealth management fees, totaled $736 million, an increase of 5% compared with the prior year period and 13% sequentially. Both increases reflect the impact of the Insight acquisition in the fourth quarter of 2009, stronger investment performance and improved market values, partially offset by a reduction in money market related fees due to outflows in money market products and higher fee waivers. Asset and wealth management fees, excluding performance fees, increased 4% sequentially.

• Foreign exchange and other trading activities totaled $246 million compared with a record $510 million in the prior year quarter and unchanged compared with the third quarter of 2009. The decrease year-over-year primarily reflects lower foreign exchange revenue driven by lower volatility and spreads, as well as a lower valuation of the credit derivatives used to hedge the loan portfolio. The sequential results reflect higher foreign exchange revenue and lower mark-to-market adjustments on credit default swaps, offset by lower fixed income trading revenue. See page 10 for a trend of foreign exchange and other trading activities revenue.

• Investment income increased $33 million year-over-year and decreased $43 million sequentially. The increase compared with 4Q08 reflects higher seed capital and private equity investment revenue, partially offset by lower lease residual gains. The sequential decrease reflects lower lease residual gains.

• Other fee revenue decreased $64 million year-over-year and $81 million sequentially. The year-over-year and sequential fluctuations reflect foreign currency translations. The sequential decrease also reflects the gain on the sale of VISA shares recorded in 3Q09.

• Investment securities pre-tax net gains totaled $15 million in 4Q09 compared with investment securities pre-tax net losses of $1.2 billion in 4Q08 and $4.8 billion in 3Q09. See page 9 for further information on the investment securities portfolio.

FTE – fully taxable equivalent.

KEY POINTS

• Net interest revenue and the related margin continued to be impacted by persistently low short-term interest rates globally as well as our strategy to invest in high quality, relatively short duration assets.

• Net interest revenue (FTE) decreased 31% year-over-year and increased 1% (unannualized) sequentially.

• The decrease compared with 4Q08 reflects a decline in the value of interest-free balances, a decrease in average interest-earning assets and narrowing spreads. The higher level of interest-earning assets in 4Q08 resulted from the credit crisis.

• The sequential increase primarily reflects a higher level of average interest-earning assets, partially offset by lower spreads.

• The accretion of discount related to the investment portfolio restructuring was $26 million in 4Q09 which was primarily offset by lower hedging gains.

• The net interest margin was 1.77%, compared with 1.85% in 3Q09. The decrease reflects lower spreads on a higher level of average interest-earning assets. The increased level of interest-earning assets was driven by higher average deposit levels due to increased client activity.

• The investment securities portfolio restructuring is expected to positively impact net interest revenue by approximately $200 million in 2010.

KEY POINTS

• Expense levels were impacted by seasonality, the Insight acquisition, employee benefit adjustments, higher legal and FDIC expenses.

• The 1% year-over-year decrease (excluding support agreement charges, amortization of intangible assets, restructuring charges and M&I expenses) was driven by the impact of merger related synergies and the workforce reduction program that was announced in 4Q08, lower other expense and lower distribution and servicing expense, primarily offset by the impact of the Insight acquisition and employee benefit adjustments.

• The sequential increase of 6% (unannualized) (excluding support agreement charges, amortization of intangible assets, restructuring charges and M&I expenses) primarily reflects seasonally higher business development expense including branding expenses, the impact of the Insight acquisition, employee benefit adjustments and higher legal and FDIC expenses.

• 4Q09 restructuring charge related to the continued execution of global efficiency initiatives, which includes migrating positions to our global growth centers and the elimination of certain positions (see page 10 for more information.)

INVESTMENT SECURITIES PORTFOLIO

At Dec. 31, 2009, the fair value of our investment securities portfolio totaled $55.9 billion. The unrealized pre-tax loss on our securities portfolio was $1.2 billion at Dec. 31, 2009 compared with $1.4 billion at Sept. 30, 2009 and $7.6 billion at Dec. 31, 2008.

In the fourth quarter of 2009, we securitized $5.0 billion, fair value, of our investment securities portfolio into a Grantor Trust. The Grantor Trust contains Alt-A, prime and subprime RMBS which were previously written down to fair value as part of the 3Q09 restructuring of the investment securities portfolio. As a result of this transaction, we received $771 million in cash for a Class A senior tranche that was sold to third parties and retained Class B certificates with a fair value of $4.2 billion, which is included in the tables below. The transaction resulted in a $39 million net loss in the fourth quarter of 2009, which was offset by $54 million of net gains on the sale of $3.6 billion of investment securities. The following table presents the fourth quarter 2009 activity related to restructuring and reducing risk in the investment securities portfolio.

RESTRUCTURING CHARGE

As part of an ongoing effort to improve efficiency and develop a global operating model that provides the highest quality of service to our clients, BNY Mellon continues to execute its global location strategy. This strategy includes migrating positions to our global growth centers and the elimination of certain positions.

In December 2009, we recorded a pre-tax restructuring charge of $139 million, or $0.07 per common share. This charge was comprised of $102 million for severance costs and $37 million for asset write-offs and other costs. The restructuring charge is recorded as a separate line on the income statement.

(a) The allowance for credit losses at Dec. 31, 2009 and Sept. 30, 2009 excludes discontinued operations. The allowance for credit losses includes discontinued operation of $35 million at Dec. 31, 2008. The provision for credit losses includes discontinued operations of $6 million at Dec. 31, 2008.

The provision for credit losses was $65 million in 4Q09 compared with $147 million in 3Q09. The decrease in the provision reflects a lower number of downgrades in the fourth quarter of 2009. During the fourth quarter of 2009, the total allowance for credit losses increased $32 million and net charge-offs totaled $33 million.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

In the second quarter of 2009, we adopted discontinued operations accounting for Mellon United National Bank located in Florida. It was determined that this business no longer fit our strategic focus on our asset management and securities servicing businesses. In July 2009, we signed a definitive agreement to sell Mellon United National Bank. The transaction was completed on Jan. 15, 2010. This business was formerly included in the Other segment. In the fourth quarter of 2009, we recorded an after-tax loss on discontinued operations of $119 million largely related to additional write-downs primarily for retained South Florida real estate loans. The value of these loans, which are carried at the lower of cost or market, was $383 million (face value $635 million) at Dec. 31, 2009. The after-tax loss of $270 million for the full-year of 2009 primarily reflects the loan write-downs and the elimination of $82 million of goodwill recorded in the second quarter of 2009.

KEY POINTS

• Asset Management generated 1,600 basis points of positive operating leverage compared with 4Q08 and 200 basis points compared with 3Q09, excluding intangible amortization and support agreement charges.

• Asset and wealth management fees totaled $590 million, an increase of 4% compared with the prior year period and 17% sequentially. Both increases reflect the impact of the acquisition of Insight in the fourth quarter of 2009, stronger investment performance and improved market values, partially offset by a reduction in money market related fees due to outflows in money market products and higher fee waivers. Asset and wealth management fees, excluding performance fees, increased 5% sequentially.

• Net long-term inflows of $13 billion were more than offset by $22 billion of short-term outflows. Long-term inflows benefited from strength in institutional global equity and fixed income products and the third consecutive quarter of positive flows in retail funds.

• The increase in other fee revenue compared with the fourth quarter of 2008 primarily reflects securities write-downs recorded in 4Q08 and a higher value of seed capital investments.

• Noninterest expense (ex. intangible amortization and support agreement charges) decreased 3% year-over-year and increased 12% sequentially. The year-over-year decrease reflects expense management efforts, partially offset by the acquisition of Insight. The sequential increase was impacted by the Insight acquisition, higher incentives and higher legal expenses.

• 50% non-U.S. revenue in 4Q09 vs. 43% in 4Q08.

KEY POINTS

• Income before taxes (ex. intangible amortization) was up 22% compared to 4Q08 and was essentially flat to 3Q09.

• Wealth Management total fee revenue was up 13% compared to 4Q08 and 5% (unannualized) sequentially.

• 4Q09 represents the 16^th consecutive quarter of positive long-term asset flows.

• Total client assets were $154 billion at Dec. 31, 2009, up $15 billion, or 11% from Dec. 31, 2008 and $3 billion, or 2%, from Sept. 30, 2009.

• Net interest revenue decreased 18% year-over-year and 6% (unannualized) sequentially due to lower deposit margins, partially offset by high quality loan growth as average loans increased 17% year-over-year and 3% (unannualized) sequentially.

• Noninterest expense (excluding intangible amortization) decreased 3% compared to 4Q08 and increased 3% (unannualized) sequentially. The sequential increase was due to FDIC expenses and timing of business development expenses. Noninterest expense was down 6% in full-year 2009 compared with full-year 2008.

• Wealth Management has office sites in 17 states and 3 countries, including 16 of the top 25 domestic wealth markets.

KEY POINTS

• Asset servicing fees reflect the benefit of new business, offset by challenging market conditions for volume and spread related businesses.

• Securities servicing fees – ex. securities lending revenue increased 1% (unannualized) sequentially and were essentially unchanged year-over-year. The sequential increase reflects higher market values and net new business, partially offset by lower broker-dealer fees.

• Securities lending fees decreased $138 million compared with 4Q08 and $7 million sequentially. Both decreases reflect lower spreads and volumes. Spreads decreased 80% year-over-year and 33% sequentially. Volumes decreased 23% year-over-year and 4% sequentially.

• Foreign exchange and other trading activities decreased 53% year-over-year and 4% (unannualized) sequentially. The year-over-year decrease from record levels in 4Q08 primarily reflects lower volatility and spreads while volumes held at 4Q08 levels. The sequential decline resulted from lower volatility and spreads, partially offset by a 15% increase in volumes.

• Net interest revenue decreased 50% compared to the prior year period and 11% (unannualized) sequentially. The decrease year-over-year reflects lower deposit levels from the record level of deposits that resulted from the credit crisis in 4Q08 and lower spreads. The sequential decrease primarily reflects lower deposit levels.

• Noninterest expense (excluding intangible amortization and support agreement charges) increased $43 million sequentially, primarily reflecting higher legal expenses, increased incentives driven by new business and higher sub-custody fees resulting from higher asset values and transaction volumes.

• 4Q09 new business wins totaled $400 billion (win rate of 64%).

• 41% non-U.S. revenue in 4Q09 vs. 37% in 4Q08.

KEY POINTS

• Issuer Services results year-over-year reflect lower revenue due to lower activity levels and interest rates. The sequential results reflect higher net interest revenue driven by higher deposit levels and seasonally higher Depositary Receipts revenue.

• Total revenue decreased 6% compared to 4Q08 and increased 7% (unannualized) sequentially in the Corporate Trust, Depositary Receipts and Shareowner Services businesses:

• Corporate Trust – Total revenue increased year-over-year and sequentially despite global debt issuances declining 19% in 2009. The higher revenue over both periods reflected continued market share gains and higher net interest income driven by higher customer deposit balances, partially offset by lower levels of fixed income issuances globally and lower money market related distribution fees.

• Depositary Receipts – Year-over-year revenue was impacted by lower transaction fees, partially offset by higher corporate action fees. Revenue increased sequentially due primarily to higher transaction and seasonal corporate action fees. Depositary Receipts issuances have exceeded cancellations for three consecutive quarters.

• Shareowner Services – Revenue decreased year-over-year due to lower corporate actions activity and the impact of lower equity values on employee stock option plans. The sequential decrease resulted from lower activity and seasonality.

• Noninterest expense (excluding intangible amortization) year-over-year was unchanged and increased 5% (unannualized) sequentially. The sequential increase reflects seasonally higher expenses and higher legal expense.

• 43% non-U.S. revenue in 4Q09 vs. 41% in 4Q08.

KEY POINTS

• Clearing Services results reflect the benefit of expense control, which helped mitigate lower money market related fees and lower trading volumes.

• Total fee and other revenue decreased 24% compared with 4Q08 and 9% (unannualized) sequentially. Both decreases were primarily due to lower money market related distribution fees and lower trading volumes. The fourth quarter of 2008 reflected near record levels of volume generated as a result of the credit crisis.

• Net interest revenue decreased 6% compared with 4Q08 and increased 11% sequentially. The year-over-year decrease resulted from lower spreads. The sequential increase was driven by a higher level of interest-earning assets.

• Noninterest expense (excluding intangible amortization) declined 10% compared to 4Q08 and 2% (unannualized) sequentially. The decreases reflect expense control and lower volume driven clearing costs.

• Strong new business pipeline.

KEY POINTS

• Total revenue decreased 18% compared to 4Q08 and increased 3% (unannualized) sequentially. The decrease compared to 4Q08 was primarily driven by lower net interest revenue resulting from lower deposit volumes and spreads. The increase sequentially primarily reflects higher Treasury services fees as a result of higher global payment volume.

• Noninterest expense (excluding intangible amortization) decreased 7% compared with 4Q08 and increased 3% (unannualized) sequentially. The year-over-year decrease reflects merger-related synergies and overall expense control, partially offset by higher FDIC assessments. The sequential increase primarily reflects seasonality.

KEY POINTS

• Fee and other revenue increased $1.1 billion compared to 4Q08 and $4.7 billion compared to 3Q09 with the variances over both periods primarily due to the level of investment securities gains (losses).

• Noninterest expense (excluding FDIC special assessment, intangible amortization, M&I expenses and restructuring charges) increased $88 million compared to 4Q08 and $24 million sequentially. The year-over-year increase primarily reflects employee benefit adjustments. The sequential increase reflects employee benefit adjustments and a seasonal increase in business development expense, including branding and donations.
