STATE STREET REPORTS FOURTH QUARTER 2022 EPS OF $1.91; $2.07 EXCLUDING NOTABLE ITEMS(a) | ||

TOTAL REVENUE UP 3%
STRONG NET INTEREST INCOME GROWTH OF 63%

PRE-TAX MARGIN OF 28.2%; 30.9% EX-NOTABLES(a)
ANNOUNCES NEW AUTHORIZATION TO REPURCHASE UP TO $4.5 BILLION OF COMMON STOCK DURING 2023
Ron O'Hanley, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer: "Our distinctive value proposition and diversified service offerings enabled us to perform well in 4Q22 and the full year despite a challenging environment that included volatile global markets, geopolitical tensions, rising inflation and significant central bank actions." O'Hanley continued: "We generated positive operating leverage and expanded pre-tax margin as higher net interest income, fee revenue growth in Front office software and data revenue and our higher margin FX franchise, as well as well-controlled expenses, more than offset revenue headwinds from weaker global market levels. Notwithstanding the macro environment, we continued to see business momentum as evidenced by another strong year of AUC/A servicing wins and backlog." O'Hanley concluded: "As we enter 2023, we will continue to execute against our strategic priorities, innovate for our clients, and transform the way we work, driving financial growth and increasing shareholder value. Today's announced authorization to repurchase up to $4.5 billion in common stock during 2023 reinforces our confidence in the earnings generating power of the franchise and demonstrates our focus on returning excess capital to our shareholders. |

Capital
•Standardized common equity tier 1 (CET1) ratio of 13.6% decreased 0.7% points compared to 4Q21, mainly due to lower accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) from higher interest rates and the resumption of share repurchases in 4Q22, partially offset by higher retained earnings and episodically lower risk weighted assets (RWAs). Compared to 3Q22, CET1 ratio increased 0.4% points primarily reflecting episodically lower RWAs and higher retained earnings, partially offset by the resumption of share repurchases
•Tier 1 leverage ratio of 6.0% decreased 0.1% points compared to 4Q21. Compared to 3Q22, tier 1 leverage ratio decreased 0.4% points, mainly due to the resumption of share repurchases and an increase in average balance sheet size, partially offset by higher retained earnings
•ROE of 11.8% increased 1.5% points and 0.6% points compared to 4Q21 and 3Q22, respectively, driven by higher earnings and net capital return
•Capital return:
◦In 4Q22, State Street returned a total of $1.7 billion of capital to shareholders, consisting of $1.5 billion in common stock repurchases and declared common dividends of $0.63 per share

(b) Deferred compensation expense acceleration of $147 million in 4Q21 associated with an amendment of certain outstanding deferred cash incentive compensation awards; amendment removed continued service requirements for deferred cash incentive compensation, thereby accelerating the future expense that would have been recognized over the remaining term of the awards (1-4 years).
(c) Gain on sale of $58 million in 4Q21, included in Other income, which reflects a one-time sale of Libor and Euribor based securities previously classified as held-to-maturity.

IN THIS NEWS RELEASE:
•Stock purchases under our common stock repurchase programs may be made using various types of transactions, including open-market purchases, accelerated share repurchases or other transactions off the market, and may be made under Rule 10b5-1 trading programs. The timing and amount of any stock purchases and the type of transaction may not be ratable over the duration of the program, may vary from reporting period to reporting period and will depend on several factors, including our capital position and financial performance, investment opportunities, market conditions, regulatory considerations including the nature and timing of implementation of revisions to the Basel III framework, and the amount of common stock issued as part of employee compensation programs. The common share repurchase programs do not have specific price targets and may be suspended at any time.
•Expenses and other measures are sometimes presented excluding notable items/effects of currency translation. This is a non-GAAP presentation. See the Addendum to this News Release for an explanation and reconciliations of our non-GAAP measures.
•New asset servicing mandates, including announced front-to-back investment servicing clients, may be subject to completion of definitive agreements, approval of applicable boards and shareholders and customary regulatory approvals. New asset servicing mandates and servicing assets remaining to be installed in future periods exclude new business which has been contracted, but for which the client has not yet provided permission to publicly disclose and is not yet installed. These excluded assets, which from time to time may be significant, will be included in new asset servicing mandates and reflected in servicing assets remaining to be installed in the period in which the client provides its permission. Servicing mandates and servicing assets remaining to be installed in future periods are presented on a gross basis and therefore also do not include the impact of clients who have notified us during the period of their intent to terminate or reduce their relationship with State Street, which from time to time may be significant.
•New business in assets to be serviced is reflected in our AUC/A after we begin servicing the assets, and new business in assets to be managed is reflected in our AUM after we begin managing the assets. As such, only a portion of any new asset servicing and asset management mandates may be reflected in our AUC/A and AUM as of any particular date specified. Consistent with past practice, AUC/A values for certain asset classes are based on a lag, typically one-month. Generally, our servicing fee revenues are affected by several factors, including changes in market valuations, client activity and asset flows, net new business and the manner in which we price our services. We provide a range of services to our clients, including core custody services, accounting, reporting and administration and middle office services, and the nature and mix of services provided affects our servicing fees. The basis for fees will differ across regions and clients. The industry in which we operate has historically faced pricing pressure, and our servicing fee revenues are also affected by such pressures today. Consequently, no assumption should be drawn as to future revenue run rate from announced servicing wins or new servicing business yet to be installed, as the amount of revenue associated with AUC/A can vary materially. Management fees generally are affected by our level of AUM and differ based upon the nature, type and investment strategy of the investment product. Management fee revenue is more sensitive to market valuations than servicing fee revenue, as a higher proportion of the underlying services provided, and the associated management fees earned, are dependent on equity and fixed-income security valuations. Additional factors, such as the relative mix of assets managed, may have a significant effect on our management fee revenue. While certain management fees are directly determined by the values of AUM and the investment strategies employed, management fees may reflect other factors, including performance fee arrangements, as well as our relationship pricing for clients.
•Front office software and data ARR, an operating metric, is calculated by annualizing current quarter revenue for CRD and Mercatus and includes the annualized amount of most software-enabled revenue, including revenue generated from SaaS, maintenance and support revenue, FIX, and value-added services, which are all expected to be recognized ratably over the term of client contracts. ARR does not include software-enabled brokerage revenue and revenue from affiliates. Front office software and data ARR was $229 million, $267 million, and $272 million in 4Q21, 3Q22, and 4Q22, respectively.
•Revenue and pre-tax income reflects the application of ASC 606. Revenue recognition under ASC 606 results in the acceleration of a significant portion of revenues for on-premises software agreements when a client goes live or renews their contract with us. The amount of revenue recognized in any given quarter will be driven in large part by client activity, including agreements that renew or are installed in that quarter.
•Unless otherwise noted, all capital ratios referenced on this News Release and elsewhere in this presentation refer to State Street Corporation, or State Street, and not State Street Bank and Trust Company, or State Street Bank. The lower of capital ratios calculated under the Basel III advanced approaches and under the Basel III standardized approach are applied in the assessment of our capital adequacy for regulatory purposes. Standardized ratios were binding for 4Q22. Refer to the Addendum included with this News Release for additional information. All capital ratios are estimated. Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) is a preliminary estimate based on a quarterly daily average.
•All earnings per share amounts represent fully diluted earnings per common share.
•Return on average common equity is determined by dividing annualized net income available to common shareholders by average common shareholders' equity for the period.
