BNY Mellon 3Q10 Quarterly Earnings Review

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

BNY Mellon has included in this Earnings 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 of operations, 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 capital 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 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 net securities gains (losses) and noncontrolling interests related to consolidated asset management funds and expense measures excluding items, such as merger and integration (“M&I”) expenses, intangible amortization expenses, special litigation reserves taken in the first quarter of 2010; and measures which utilize net income excluding tax items such as the discrete tax benefits related to a tax loss on mortgages 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 primarily relate to the acquisitions of GIS and BAS in the third quarter of 2010 and 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 net investment securities gains (losses), BNY Mellon’s primary businesses are Asset and Wealth Management and Institutional Services. The management of these businesses 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. The investment securities portfolio is managed within the Other group of businesses. 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. With regards to higher yields related to the restructured investment securities portfolio, client deposits serve as the primary funding source for our investment securities portfolio and we typically allocate all interest revenue to the businesses generating the deposits. Accordingly, the higher yield related to the restructured investment securities portfolio has been included in the results of our businesses. The presentation of financial measures excluding special litigation reserves taken in the first quarter of 2010 provides investors the ability to view performance metrics on the basis that management views results. The presentation of income of consolidated asset management funds, net of noncontrolling interest related to the consolidation of certain assets management funds permits investors to view revenue on a basis consistent with prior periods. Restructuring charges relate to migrating positions to global growth centers and the elimination of certain positions. Excluding the discrete tax benefits related to a tax loss on mortgages permits investors to calculate the tax impact of BNY Mellon’s primary businesses. BNY Mellon believes that these presentations, as a supplement to GAAP information, gives investors a clearer picture of the results of its 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-level 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) and income from consolidated asset management funds, net of noncontrolling interest.

• Noninterest expense: Special litigation reserves taken in the first quarter of 2010, M&I expenses, intangible amortization expense and restructuring charges.

• Earnings per share: M&I expenses, restructuring charges and net investment securities gains (losses).

KEY POINTS (comparisons are unannualized 3Q10 vs. 2Q10 unless otherwise stated)

• Operating earnings (excluding intangible amortization) increased 2%

- Fee revenue benefited from higher asset and wealth management revenue and a 17% increase in securities servicing fees reflecting the Global Investment Servicing (“GIS”) and BHF Asset Servicing GmbH (“BAS”) acquisitions (collectively, “the Acquisitions”) partially offset by seasonally lower foreign exchange revenue

- Net interest revenue decreased slightly as lower spreads more than offset the impact of higher average interest-earning assets

- Noninterest expenses increased 13% reflecting the Acquisitions

- Effective tax rate of 26.4% on a GAAP basis, 27.3% on an operating basis (Non-GAAP) reflecting a discrete benefit of approximately $0.02 per common share, largely driven by a change in state and local tax laws

• Record levels of AUC/A and AUM

- AUC/A of $24.4 trillion, up 10% year-over-year, driven by the Acquisitions

- AUM of $1.14 trillion, up 18% year-over-year

- Long-term inflows $11 billion in 3Q10

- Short-term inflows $18 billion in 3Q10

• Strong asset quality

- Provision for credit losses of $(22) million

- Criticized assets declined 26%

• Tier 1 12.2%, Tier 1 common 10.7% and TCE 5.3% (Non-GAAP)

- Raised $677 million (25.9 million shares) of common equity via a forward sale agreement which settled in mid-September 2010

- The Acquisitions, net of the equity raise, reduced the Tier 1 / Tier 1 common ratios by approximately 185 basis points and the TCE ratio by approximately 100 basis points

(a) See Supplemental information beginning on page 20 for GAAP to Non-GAAP reconciliations.

(b) Diluted earnings per share under the two-class method was calculated after deducting earnings allocated to participating securities of $ – million in the third quarter of 2009, $7 million in the second quarter of 2010 and $5 million in the third quarter of 2010.

(b) Total fee and other revenue on a GAAP basis was $(2,223) million, $2,577 million, $2,529 million, $2,555 million and $2,668 million, respectively. Total fee revenue from the Acquisitions was $234 million in the third quarter of 2010.

N/M - Not meaningful.

KEY POINTS

• Asset servicing fees – The year-over-year and sequential growth reflects the Acquisitions, higher market values, new business and asset inflows from existing clients.

• Securities lending revenue – The year-over-year decrease reflects narrower spreads and lower loan balances while the sequential decrease reflects seasonally lower spreads, partially offset by higher loan balances.

• Issuer services fees – The increase year-over-year reflects higher Depositary Receipts revenue resulting from higher corporate action fees partially offset by lower Corporate Trust fee revenue resulting from decreased activity in the global debt markets and lower Shareowner Services revenue reflecting lower corporate action fees and lower employee stock option plan fees. The sequential increase resulted from higher Depositary Receipts revenue, partially offset by lower Shareowner Services fee revenue due to seasonality.

• Clearing services fees – Year-over-year results reflect the impact of the GIS acquisition partially offset by lower transaction volumes and lower money market related distribution fees. The sequential increase reflects the GIS acquisition partially offset by lower transaction volumes.

• Asset and wealth management fees totaled $696 million in the third quarter of 2010. Adjusted for performance fees and income from consolidated asset management funds, net of noncontrolling interests, these fees totaled $716 million, an increase of 8% compared with the prior year period and 3% (unannualized) sequentially (see page 20). The year-over-year increase reflects improved market values, the Insight acquisition and the impact of net new business. The sequential increase primarily reflects the impact of net new business and higher market values.

• Foreign exchange and other trading revenue totaled $146 million compared with $246 million in the prior year period and $220 million in the second quarter of 2010. In the third quarter of 2010, foreign exchange revenue totaled $160 million, a decrease of 35% sequentially, driven primarily by seasonality and lower volatility. Other trading revenue was a negative $14 million in the third quarter of 2010, largely driven by a decline in long-term interest rates.

• Investment and other income decreased $108 million year-over-year and $48 million sequentially. The year-over-year decrease reflects lower lease residual gains and a gain on the sale of VISA shares in the third quarter of 2009. The sequential decrease was primarily driven by lower foreign currency translation revenue.

bps – basis points.

FTE – fully taxable equivalent.

KEY POINTS

• Net interest revenue totaled $718 million in 3Q10 and was flat compared with 3Q09 as a higher yield on the restructured investment securities portfolio and higher average interest-earning assets were offset by lower spreads. Sequentially, net interest revenue decreased slightly as lower spreads more than offset the impact of higher average interest-earning assets.

• The net interest margin (FTE) was 1.67% in 3Q10, compared with 1.74% in 2Q10 and 1.85% in 3Q09. The decrease in the net interest margin compared with 2Q10 reflects higher average interest-earning assets in a lower rate environment.

KEY POINTS

��� Total noninterest expense (excluding amortization of intangible assets, restructuring charges and M&I expenses) increased 13% year-over-year primarily due the Acquisitions, the Insight acquisition, higher compensation expense, business development, software and litigation expenses.

• Total noninterest expense (excluding amortization of intangible assets, restructuring charges and M&I expenses) increased 9% (unannualized) sequentially primarily due to the Acquisitions, higher litigation and software expenses.

OPERATIONS OF CONSOLIDATED ASSET MANAGEMENT FUNDS

On Jan. 1, 2010, we adopted ASC 810 (SFAS No. 167). Adoption of this standard resulted in an increase in consolidated total assets on our balance sheet at Sept. 30, 2010 of $14.5 billion, or approximately 7% from Dec. 31, 2009.

We also separately disclosed the following on the income statement.

INVESTMENT SECURITIES PORTFOLIO

At Sept. 30, 2010, the fair value of our investment securities portfolio totaled $62 billion. The unrealized pre-tax gain on our total securities portfolio was $643 million at Sept. 30, 2010 compared with $292 million at June 30, 2010 and an unrealized pre-tax loss of $1.4 billion at Sept. 30, 2009.

The following table shows the distribution of our investment securities portfolio.

(d) The Grantor Trust RMBS were marked to market in the fourth quarter of 2009. We believe these RMBS would receive higher credit ratings if these ratings incorporated, as additional credit enhancement, the difference between the written-down amortized cost and the current face amount of each of these securities.

(e) Includes a $41 million unrealized loss on derivatives hedging securities available for sale.

(a) Includes discontinued operations. Preliminary.

(b) See the Supplemental information section beginning on page 20 for a calculation of these ratios.

The sequential decrease in the capital ratios primarily resulted from the Acquisitions, partially offset by the issuance of $677 million (25.9 million shares) of common equity via a forward sale agreement that settled in mid-September 2010 and earnings retention. The Acquisitions, net of the equity raise, reduced the Tier 1 and Tier 1 common ratios by approximately 185 basis points and the tangible common shareholders’ equity ratio by approximately 100 basis points.

Total allowance for credit losses/nonperforming loans		115.0			161.3			154.3

(a) The adoption of ASC 810 resulted in BNY Mellon consolidating loans of consolidated asset management funds of $12.1 billion at June 30, 2010 and $13.4 billion at Sept. 30, 2010. These loans are not part of BNY Mellon’s loan portfolio. Included in these loans are $131 million and $231 million of nonperforming loans, respectively. These loans are recorded at fair value and therefore do not impact the provision for credit losses and allowance for loan losses, and accordingly are excluded from the nonperforming assets table above.

The provision for credit losses was a credit of $22 million in the third quarter of 2010 compared with a charge of $20 million in the second quarter of 2010 and a charge of $147 million in the third quarter of 2009. The decrease in the provision year-over-year and sequentially reflects a decline of 26% in criticized assets during the third quarter of 2010. During the third quarter of 2010, the total allowance for credit losses decreased $37 million and net charge-offs totaled $15 million.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

On Jan. 15, 2010, BNY Mellon sold Mellon United National Bank (“MUNB”), its national bank subsidiary located in Florida. We have applied discontinued operations accounting to this business. The income statements for all periods in this Earnings Review are presented on a continuing operations basis. In the third quarter of 2010, we recorded an after-tax loss on discontinued operations of $3 million primarily reflecting lower of cost or market write-downs on the retained loans held for sale.

REVIEW OF BUSINESSES

See BNY Mellon’s 2009 Annual Report for information on the accounting principles of our businesses. In addition, client deposits serve as the primary funding source for our investment securities portfolio and we typically allocate all interest revenue to the businesses generating the deposits. Accordingly, the higher yield related to the restructured investment securities portfolio has been included in the results of our businesses.

N/M – Not meaningful.

KEY POINTS

• Total revenue was up 7% (unannualized) sequentially and 12% year-over-year. The year-over-year increase reflects the impact of the Insight acquisition, improved market values and net new business. The sequential increase reflects the impact of net new business, higher market values and higher seed capital gains.

• Net long-term inflows were $11 billion and short-term inflows were $18 billion in 3Q10. Long-term inflows benefited from strength in institutional fixed income and global equity products and the sixth consecutive quarter of positive flows in retail funds. Approximately 75% of long-term net inflows in the third quarter of 2010 occurred in September.

• Noninterest expense (ex. intangible amortization and support agreement charges) increased 15% year-over-year and 3% (unannualized) sequentially. The year-over-year increase primarily reflects the impact of the Insight acquisition and higher incentive expense. The sequential increase primarily resulted from higher incentive expense.

• 51% non-U.S. revenue in 3Q10 vs. 42% in 3Q09.

KEY POINTS

• Wealth Management generated 300 basis points of positive operating leverage sequentially, excluding intangible amortization. Income before taxes (excluding intangible amortization) increased 3% compared to 3Q09 and 7% (unannualized) compared to 2Q10.

• Total fee and other revenue decreased 1% compared with 3Q09 and 2% (unannualized) sequentially. Both decreases primarily reflect lower capital markets fees.

• Total client assets were $161 billion at Sept. 30, 2010, up 7%, year-over year and sequentially, primarily reflecting market appreciation, the I(3) Wealth Advisors acquisition and new business.

• Net interest revenue increased 18% year-over-year and 4% (unannualized) sequentially. The year-over-year increase was primarily due to high quality loan growth, higher deposit levels and the higher yield related to the restructured investment securities portfolio. The sequential increase reflects higher deposit levels and higher deposit margins. Average loans increased 8% year-over-year and 2% (unannualized) sequentially. Average deposit levels increased 27% year-over-year and 5% (unannualized) sequentially.

• Noninterest expense (excluding intangible amortization) increased 4% compared to 3Q09 and decreased 3% (unannualized) sequentially. The year-over-year increase primarily reflects the impact of the annual merit increase given in 2Q10, production-related incentives, investment in advertising and increased FDIC expenses, partially offset by workforce reductions and expense control. The sequential decrease reflects overall expense control.

• Completed acquisition of I(3) Wealth Advisors of Toronto in 3Q10.

• Wealth Management has office sites in 17 states and 4 countries, including 16 of the top 25 domestic wealth markets.

N/M – Not meaningful.

KEY POINTS

• Securities servicing fees increased 37% compared with 3Q09 and 34% (unannualized) sequentially. Both increases primarily reflect the impact of the Acquisitions, higher market values, new business and asset inflows from existing clients.

• Securities lending fees decreased $6 million compared with 3Q09 and $4 million sequentially. The year-over-year decrease reflects narrower spreads and lower loan balances while the sequential decrease reflects seasonally lower spreads, partially offset by higher loan balances. Spreads decreased 25% compared with 3Q09 and 26% sequentially. Volumes decreased 1% compared with 3Q09 and increased 9% (unannualized) sequentially.

• Foreign exchange and other trading revenue decreased 29% compared with 3Q09 and 35% (unannualized) sequentially. The year-over-year decrease reflects lower volatility. The sequential decrease primarily resulted from lower volatility and seasonally lower volumes.

• Other revenue decreased year-over-year and sequentially. The sequential decline resulted from lower foreign currency translation gains.

• Net interest revenue decreased 6% year-over-year and was unchanged sequentially. The decrease compared with 3Q09 resulted from lower spreads on deposits, partially offset by the higher deposit balances and the higher yield related to the restructured investment securities portfolio.

• Noninterest expense (excluding intangible amortization and support agreement charges) increased $147 million compared with 3Q09 and $130 million sequentially. Both increases primarily reflect the impact of the Acquisitions. Excluding the impact of the Acquisitions, expenses decreased year-over-year and sequentially as a result of overall expense control.

• 3Q10 new business wins totaled $480 billion (win rate of 68%).

• 37% non-U.S. revenue in 3Q10 vs. 39% in 3Q09.

KEY POINTS

• Issuer Services generated 600 basis points of positive operating leverage compared with 3Q09 and 500 basis points sequentially, excluding intangible amortization.

• Total revenue increased 6% compared to 3Q09 and 1% (unannualized) sequentially:

• Corporate Trust – Total revenue increased year-over-year and was flat sequentially. The year-over-year increase reflects higher net interest revenue driven by the higher yield related to the restructured investment securities portfolio partially offset by the weakness in the global debt issuance markets.

• Depositary Receipts – Total revenue increased year-over-year and sequentially primarily due to higher corporate action fees and new business. Depositary Receipt issuances have exceeded cancellations for six consecutive quarters.

• Shareowner Services – Total revenue decreased year-over-year and sequentially. The year-over-year decline reflects lower corporate action fees, lower employee stock option plan fees and lower net interest revenue. The sequential decline primarily reflects seasonality, as well as the same factors impacting the year-over-year decline.

• Noninterest expense (excluding intangible amortization) was flat year-over-year and decreased 4% sequentially reflecting ongoing expense management efforts. The sequential decrease also resulted from lower legal expense.

• 46% non-U.S. revenue in 3Q10 vs. 39% in 3Q09.

KEY POINTS

• Total fee and other revenue increased 1% compared to 3Q09 and 6% (unannualized) sequentially primarily as a result of the GIS acquisition. Excluding the GIS acquisition, total fee and other revenue decreased both year-over-year and sequentially. The year-over-year decrease resulted from lower transaction volumes and lower money market related distribution fees, while the sequential decrease was primarily due to lower transaction volumes.

• Net interest revenue increased 11% compared with 3Q09 and decreased 3% (unannualized) sequentially. The year-over-year increase was driven by the higher yield related to the restructured investment securities portfolio.

• Noninterest expense (excluding intangible amortization) increased 14% compared to 3Q09 and 3% (unannualized) sequentially. Both increases were primarily due to the GIS acquisition. The year-over-year increase also reflects higher expenses in support of future client conversions. Excluding the impact of the GIS acquisition, noninterest expense decreased sequentially as a result of lower clearing expense driven by lower volumes.

KEY POINTS

• Total fee and other revenue increased 4% year-over-year and 9% (unannualized) sequentially. Both increases reflect the impact of the GIS acquisition, as well as higher global payment services revenue.

• Net interest revenue was flat year-over-year and decreased 8% (unannualized) sequentially. Year-over-year, the increase resulting from the higher yield related to the restructured investment securities portfolio was offset by lower average loan balances reflecting our credit strategy to reduce targeted risk exposure. The sequential decrease reflects a lower level of loans and deposits as well as lower spreads.

• Noninterest expense (excluding intangible amortization) increased 4% compared with 3Q09 and was unchanged sequentially. The year-over-year increase reflects the impact of the GIS acquisition and higher litigation expense. On a sequential basis, the impact of the GIS acquisition was offset by ongoing expense management efforts.

KEY POINTS

• Total fee and other revenue increased $4.7 billion compared to 3Q09 and decreased $48 million compared to 2Q10. The year-over-year increase primarily reflects the charge related to the restructuring of the investment securities portfolio recorded in the third quarter of 2009. The sequential decrease primarily reflects lower foreign currency translation gains, lower leasing gains and lower securities gains.

• Noninterest expense (excluding intangible amortization, M&I expenses and restructuring charges) increased $13 million compared to 3Q09 and $72 million sequentially. The sequential increase reflects higher litigation expense and government assessments.
