NEW YORK, October 17, 2022 – The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (“BNY Mellon”) (NYSE: BK) today reported:

3Q22 results include $(664) million, or $(0.81) per share, primarily related to impairment of goodwill associated with the Investment Management reporting unit, which was driven by lower market values and a higher discount rate. This goodwill impairment represents a non-cash charge and did not affect BNY Mellon’s liquidity position, tangible common equity or regulatory capital ratios.

3Q21 results include $(45) million, or $(0.05) per share, primarily related to litigation.

(b)    Notable items in 3Q22 include goodwill impairment, a disposal gain, severance expense and litigation reserves. Notable items in 2Q22 include litigation reserves. Notable items in 3Q21 include litigation reserves, gains on disposals and severance expense.

OTHER SEGMENT primarily includes the leasing portfolio, corporate treasury activities, including our securities portfolio, derivatives and other trading activity, renewable energy and other corporate investments, certain business exits and other corporate revenue and expense items.

BNY Mellon has included in this Earnings Release certain Non-GAAP financial measures on a tangible basis as a supplement to GAAP information, which exclude goodwill and intangible assets, net of deferred tax liabilities. We believe that the return on tangible common equity – Non-GAAP is additional useful information for investors because it presents a measure of those assets that can generate income, and the tangible book value per common share – Non-GAAP is additional useful information because it presents the level of tangible assets in relation to shares of common stock outstanding.

Net interest revenue, on a fully taxable equivalent (“FTE”) basis – Non-GAAP and net interest margin (FTE) – Non-GAAP and other FTE measures include the tax equivalent adjustments on tax-exempt income which allows for the comparison 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.

BNY Mellon has also included the adjusted pre-tax operating margin – Non-GAAP, which is the pre-tax operating margin for the Investment and Wealth Management business segment, 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 segment relative to industry competitors.

BNY Mellon has presented revenue measures excluding notable items, including disposal gains. Expense measures, excluding notable items, including goodwill impairment, severance expense and litigation reserves, are also presented. Litigation reserves represent accruals for loss contingencies that are both probable and reasonably estimable, but exclude standard business-related legal fees. Income before taxes, net income applicable to common shareholders of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation, diluted earnings per share, operating leverage, return on common equity, return on tangible common equity, pre-tax operating margin and the effective tax rate, excluding the notable items mentioned above, are also provided. These measures have been provided to permit investors to view the financial measures on a basis consistent with how management views the businesses.

BNY Mellon has presented pre-tax operating margin, excluding notable items for certain business segments. These measures are provided to permit investors to view the financial measures on a basis consistent with how management views the businesses.
