KEY POINTS (comparisons are unannualized 1Q12 vs. 4Q11 unless otherwise stated)

• Earnings

- Total revenue of $3.6 billion, up 3% (up 6% excluding fee and other revenue related to the Shareowner Services business sold on Dec. 31, 2011 and net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests related to consolidated investment management funds).

- Fee and other revenue up 3% (up 8% excluding fee and other revenue related to Shareowner Services).

- Investment services fees increased 3% (up 6% excluding investment services fees related to Shareowner Services) primarily due to improved market values, higher volumes and net new business.

- Investment management and performance fees increased 2% driven by higher market values, lower money market fee waivers and net new business, partially offset by seasonally lower performance fees. Excluding performance fees, investment management fees increased 7%.

- Foreign exchange and other trading revenue decreased 16% as volatility decreased significantly.

- Net interest revenue decreased 2% driven primarily by lower average client deposits and lower accretion, partially offset by increased investments in high quality investment securities.

- Provision for credit losses of $5 million.

- Noninterest expense decreased 3% (up 4% excluding amortization of intangible assets, restructuring charges, M&I expenses and direct expense related to Shareowner Services). The increase was primarily driven by higher litigation and legal expenses, higher incentive expense due to the vesting of long-term stock awards for retirement eligible employees and higher pension expense. Additionally, we are beginning to realize the results of our operational excellence initiatives as business development, professional and other purchased services, compensation, net occupancy and software and equipment expenses decreased.

- Effective tax rate of 28.7%.

• Record levels of AUC/A and AUM

- AUC/A of $26.6 trillion, increased 3%.

- AUM of $1.3 trillion, increased 4%.

• Capital

- Return on tangible common equity – Non-GAAP 21%. (a)

- Repurchased 17.3 million shares for $371 million in the first quarter of 2012.

- Estimated Basel III Tier 1 common equity ratio – Non-GAAP 7.6%, up 50 basis points sequentially.(a)

(a) See “Supplemental information” beginning on page 18 for GAAP to Non-GAAP reconciliations.

(b) Diluted earnings per share is determined based on the net income reported on the income statement less earnings allocated to participating securities of $6 million in the first quarter of 2011, $6 million in the fourth quarter of 2011 and $8 million in the first quarter of 2012, and the change in the excess of redeemable value over the fair value of noncontrolling interests of $6 million in the first quarter of 2011, $(1) million in the fourth quarter of 2011 and $(6) million in the first quarter of 2012.

(c) Does not foot due to rounding.

(c) The Shareowner Services business was sold on Dec. 31, 2011. Results in the fourth quarter of 2011 include a $98 million pre-tax gain on the sale.

N/M-Not meaningful.

KEY POINTS

• Asset servicing fees were $943 million, an increase of 3% year-over-year and 7% (unannualized) sequentially. Both increases reflect net new business and higher equity markets, as well as higher securities lending revenue driven by wider spreads.

• Issuer services fees excluding Shareowner Services were $251 million, a decrease of 14% year-over-year and an increase of 2% (unannualized) sequentially. The year-over-year decrease primarily resulted from lower money market fees, lower trust fees related to the weakness in structured products and higher fee waivers in Corporate Trust and lower Depositary Receipts revenue. Sequentially, higher Depositary Receipts revenue was partially offset by lower Corporate Trust fees.

• Clearing services fees were $303 million, an increase of 4% year-over-year and 9% (unannualized) sequentially. The year-over-year increase was driven by net new business and growth in mutual fund assets and retirement accounts, partially offset by lower trading volumes and higher money market fee waivers. The sequential increase primarily reflects higher trading volumes and growth in mutual fund assets.

• Investment management and performance fees were $745 million, a decrease of 2% year-over-year and an increase of 2% (unannualized) sequentially. The year-over-year decrease was driven by higher money market fee waivers partially offset by net new business. Sequentially, higher market values, lower money market fee waivers and net new business were partially offset by seasonally lower performance fees. Excluding performance fees, investment management fees increased 7% (unannualized) sequentially.

Foreign exchange and other trading revenue totaled $191 million compared with $198 million in the first quarter of 2011 and $228 million in the fourth quarter of 2011. In the first quarter of 2012, foreign exchange revenue totaled $136 million, a decrease of 21% year-over-year and 26% (unannualized) sequentially. The year-over-year decrease reflects lower volumes and volatility, while sequentially, volumes were unchanged and volatility decreased 20%. Other trading revenue was $55 million in the first quarter of 2012 compared with $25 million in the first quarter of 2011 and $45 million in the fourth quarter of 2011. Both increases were primarily driven by higher fixed income trading.

• Investment and other income totaled $139 million compared with $81 million in the first quarter of 2011 and $146 million in the fourth quarter of 2011. The year-over-year increase primarily resulted from higher leasing and seed capital gains. Sequentially, the decline primarily resulted from the $98 million pre-tax gain on the sale of the Shareowner Services business recorded in the fourth quarter of 2011, partially offset by higher leasing and seed capital gains in the first quarter of 2012.

KEY POINTS

• Net interest revenue totaled $765 million in 1Q12, an increase of $67 million compared with 1Q11 and a decrease of $15 million sequentially. The year-over-year increase in net interest revenue was primarily driven by higher average client deposits, increased investment in high quality investment securities and higher loan levels, partially offset by narrower spreads and lower accretion. The sequential decrease was primarily driven by lower average client deposits and lower accretion, partially offset by increased investments in high quality investment securities.

- Average noninterest-bearing client deposits increased $28 billion, or 73%, compared with 1Q11 and decreased $10 billion, or 13%, compared with 4Q11.

• The net interest margin (FTE) was 1.32% in 1Q12, compared with 1.27% in 4Q11 and 1.49% in 1Q11. The year-over-year decrease in the net interest margin (FTE) was primarily driven by increased client deposits nearly half of which were invested in liquid, lower-yielding assets. The sequential increase in the net interest margin (FTE) primarily reflects increased investments in high quality investment securities and a decrease in lower-yielding interest-bearing deposits with banks.

KEY POINTS

• Total noninterest expense (excluding amortization of intangible assets, restructuring charges, merger and integration (“M&I”) expenses and direct expense related to Shareowner Services) (Non-GAAP) increased 5% compared with the prior year period and 4% (unannualized) sequentially.

- The year-over-year increase primarily reflects higher litigation and legal expenses, higher incentive expense due to the vesting of long-term stock awards for retirement eligible employees and higher pension expense.

- The sequential increase was driven by higher litigation expense, higher incentive expense due to the vesting of long-term stock awards for retirement eligible employees and higher pension expenses. Additionally, we are beginning to realize the results of our operational excellence initiatives as business development, professional and other purchased services, compensation, net occupancy and software and equipment expenses decreased.

(a) Preliminary.

(b) Our estimated Basel III Tier 1 common equity ratio – Non-GAAP reflects our current interpretation of the Basel III rules. Our estimated Basel III Tier 1 common equity ratio could change in the future as the U.S. regulatory agencies implement Basel III or if our businesses change.

(c) See “Supplemental information” beginning on page 18 for a calculation of these ratios.

We generated $680 million of gross Basel I Tier 1 common equity in the first quarter of 2012.

Our estimated Basel III Tier 1 common equity ratio – Non-GAAP was 7.6% at March 31, 2012 compared with 7.1% at Dec. 31, 2011 and 6.1% at March 31, 2011. The sequential improvement in the ratio was driven by an increase in the value of our investment securities portfolio, earnings retention and lower risk-weighted assets, partially offset by share repurchases.

INVESTMENT SECURITIES PORTFOLIO

At March 31, 2012, the fair value of our investment securities portfolio totaled $88.2 billion. The unrealized pre-tax net gain on our total securities portfolio was $1.2 billion at March 31, 2012 compared with $793 million at Dec. 31, 2011. During the first quarter of 2012, we received $229 million of paydowns and sold approximately $23 million of sub-investment grade securities. The investment securities previously included in the former Grantor Trust were marked down to approximately 60% of face value in 2009. At March 31, 2012, these securities were trading above adjusted amortized cost with a total unrealized pre-tax gain of $364 million.

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

REVIEW OF BUSINESSES

On Dec. 31, 2011, BNY Mellon sold its Shareowner Services business. In the first quarter of 2012, we reclassified the results of the Shareowner Services business from the Investment Services business to the Other segment. The reclassification did not impact the consolidated results. All prior periods have been restated.

BNY Mellon 1Q12 Quarterly Earnings Review

INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT KEY POINTS

• Assets under management were a record $1.3 trillion at March 31, 2012, an increase of 6% year-over-year and 4% sequentially. The year-over-year increase primarily resulted from net new business and higher market values. On a sequential basis, the increase resulted from higher market values.

- Net long-term inflows were $7 billion and short-term outflows were $9 billion in 1Q12. Long-term inflows benefited from fixed income and active equity assets.

• Generated positive operating leverage sequentially, excluding amortization of intangible assets.

• Investment management fees decreased 4% year-over-year and increased 7% (unannualized) sequentially. The year-over-year decrease was driven by higher money market fee waivers, partially offset by net new business. The sequential increase reflects higher market values, lower money market fee waivers and net new business.

• Other revenue was $52 million in 1Q12 compared with revenue of $34 million in 1Q11 and a loss of $11 million in 4Q11. Both increases were primarily driven by higher seed capital gains. Sequentially, the increase also reflects a $30 million write-down of an equity investment recorded in 4Q11.

• Net interest revenue increased 6% year-over-year and was unchanged sequentially. The year-over-year increase primarily resulted from higher average loans and deposits.

- Average loans increased 9% year-over-year and 3% sequentially; average deposits increased 24% year-over-year and decreased 2% sequentially.

• Total noninterest expense (ex. amortization of intangible assets) decreased 1% year-over-year and 2% (unannualized) sequentially. The year-over-year decrease was driven by lower distribution and servicing expense and lower professional, legal and other purchased services. The sequential decrease primarily resulted from lower incentive expense due to seasonally lower performance fees, and lower business development expense, partially offset by higher distribution and servicing expense.

• 45% non-U.S. revenue in 1Q12 vs. 41% in 1Q11.

INVESTMENT SERVICES KEY POINTS

• Investment services fees totaled $1.6 billion, unchanged year-over-year and an increase of 6% (unannualized) sequentially.

- Asset servicing fees (global custody, broker-dealer services and alternative investment services) were $915 million in 1Q12 compared with $890 million in 1Q11 and $858 million in 4Q11. Both increases reflect net new business and higher equity markets, as well as higher securities lending revenue driven by wider spreads.

- Issuer services fees (Corporate Trust and Depositary Receipts) were $251 million in 1Q12 compared with $292 million in 1Q11 and $245 million in 4Q11. The year-over-year decrease primarily resulted from lower money market fees, lower trust fees related to the weakness in structured products and higher fee waivers in Corporate Trust and lower Depositary Receipts revenue. Sequentially, higher Depositary Receipts revenue was partially offset by lower Corporate Trust fees.

- Clearing services fees (Pershing) were $303 million in 1Q12 compared with $292 million in 1Q11 and $278 million in 4Q11. The year-over-year increase was driven by net new business and growth in mutual fund assets and retirement accounts, partially offset by lower trading volumes and higher money market fee waivers. The sequential increase primarily reflects higher trading volumes and growth in mutual fund assets.

• Foreign exchange and other trading revenue decreased 16% year-over-year and 10% (unannualized) sequentially. The year-over-year decrease primarily reflects lower volumes and volatility, while sequentially, volumes were unchanged and volatility decreased 20%.

• Net interest revenue was $644 million in 1Q12 compared with $621 million in 1Q11 and $634 million in 4Q11. The year-over-year increase reflects higher average client deposits, partially offset by lower accretion. The sequential increase reflects wider spreads on deposit balances, partially offset by lower accretion.

• The provision for credit losses of $16 million in the first quarter of 2012 primarily resulted from a broker-dealer customer that filed for bankruptcy. This charge was previously recorded in the Other segment.

• Noninterest expense (excluding amortization of intangible assets) increased 5% year-over-year and 4% (unannualized) sequentially. Both increases reflect higher litigation and legal expenses. The sequential increase also reflects higher volume-related expenses and expenses in support of new business partially offset by expense control initiatives.

• 36% non-U.S. revenue in 1Q12 vs. 37% in 1Q11.

KEY POINTS

• Total fee and other revenue increased $17 million compared with 1Q11 and decreased $76 million compared with 4Q11. The year-over-year increase reflects higher net securities gains and higher leasing gains and an improved credit valuation adjustment, partially offset by the impact of the sale of the Shareowner Services business. The sequential decrease was driven by the sale of the Shareowner Services business, partially offset by higher net securities gains and higher leasing gains.

• Net interest revenue increased $41 million compared with 1Q11 and decreased $25 million compared with 4Q11. The year-over-year growth reflects increased investments in high quality investment securities. Sequentially, the decrease was primarily driven by lower average deposits, partially offset by increased investment securities.

• The provision for credit losses was a credit of $11 million in the first quarter of 2012 primarily resulting from the reclassification of a previously recorded charge to the Investment Services business.

• Noninterest expense (excluding amortization of intangible assets, restructuring charges and M&I expenses) increased $2 million compared with 1Q11 and $6 million compared with 4Q11. Both increases were primarily driven by higher incentive expense due to the vesting of long-term awards for retirement eligible employees and higher pension expense, partially offset by the impact of the sale of the Shareowner Services business.

BNY Mellon 1Q12 Quarterly Earnings Review

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION – EXPLANATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

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

BNY Mellon has provided a measure of tangible book value per share, which it believes provides additional useful information as to the level of such assets in relation to shares of common stock outstanding. BNY Mellon has presented revenue measures which exclude the effect of net securities gains (losses) and noncontrolling interests related to consolidated investment management funds; and expense measures which exclude restructuring charges, M&I expenses and amortization of intangible assets expenses. Return on equity and operating margin measures, which exclude some or all of these items, are also presented. Operating margin measures also exclude noncontrolling interests related to consolidated investment management funds. BNY Mellon believes that these measures are useful to investors because they permit a focus on period to period comparisons which relate to the ability of BNY Mellon to enhance revenues and limit expenses in circumstances where such matters are within BNY Mellon’s control. The excluded items in general relate to certain ongoing charges as a result of prior transactions, or where we have incurred charges unrelated to operational initiatives. M&I expenses primarily relate to the acquisitions of Global Investment Servicing on July 1, 2010 and BHF Asset Servicing GmbH on Aug. 2, 2010. M&I expenses generally continue for approximately three years after the transaction and can vary on a year-to-year basis depending on the stage of the integration. BNY Mellon believes that the exclusion of M&I expenses provides investors with a focus on BNY Mellon’s business as it would appear on a consolidated going-forward basis, after such M&I expenses have ceased. Future periods will not reflect such M&I expenses, and thus may be more easily compared to our current results if M&I expenses are excluded. With regards to the exclusion of net securities gains (losses), BNY Mellon’s primary businesses are Investment Management and Investment 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 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. Restructuring charges relate to our operational excellence initiatives and migrating positions to global growth centers. Excluding these charges permits investors to view expenses on a basis consistent with how management views the business.

The presentation of income (loss) of consolidated investment management funds, net of net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interest related to the consolidation of certain investment management funds permits investors to view revenue on a basis consistent with prior periods. BNY Mellon believes that these presentations, as a supplement to GAAP information, give investors a clearer picture of the results of its primary businesses.

In this Earnings Review, the net interest margin is presented on an FTE basis. We believe that this presentation provides comparability of amounts arising from both taxable and tax-exempt sources, and is consistent with industry practice.

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.

(a) Our estimated Basel III Tier 1 common equity ratio– Non-GAAP reflects our current interpretation of the Basel III rules. Our estimated Basel III Tier 1 common equity ratio could change in the near future as the U.S. regulatory agencies implement Basel III or if our businesses change.

(b) Preliminary.

(c) Basel III does not add back to capital the adjustment to other comprehensive income that Basel I and Basel II make for pension liabilities and available-for-sale securities. Also, under Basel III, pension assets recorded on the balance sheet and adjustments related to equity method investments are a deduction from capital.

(d) Primary differences between Basel I and Basel III include: the determination of credit risk under Basel I uses predetermined risk weights and asset classes, while under Basel III includes borrower credit ratings and internal risk models; the treatment of securitizations that fall below investment grade receive a significantly higher risk-weighting under Basel III than Basel I; also, Basel III includes additional adjustments for operational risk, market risk, counterparty credit risk and equity exposures.

These statements may be expressed in a variety of ways, including the use of future or present tense language. These statements and other forward-looking statements contained in other public disclosures of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation which make reference to the cautionary factors described in this Earnings Review, are based upon current beliefs and expectations and are subject to significant risks and uncertainties (some of which are beyond BNY Mellon’s control). Actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied as a result of these risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, the risk factors and other uncertainties set forth in BNY Mellon’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended Dec. 31, 2011 and BNY Mellon’s other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. All forward-looking statements in this Earnings Review speak only as of April 18, 2012, and BNY Mellon undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after that date or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
