BNY Reports Third Quarter 2024
Earnings Per Common Share of $1.50, or $1.52 as Adjusted (a)

NEW YORK, October 11, 2024 - The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation ("BNY") (NYSE: BK) today has reported financial results for the third quarter of 2024.
CEO COMMENTARY
BNY reported strong third quarter results, reflecting growth across our three business segments and consistent execution against our strategic priorities, with assets under custody and/or administration exceeding $50 trillion for the first time.

The company reported earnings per share of $1.50, up 22% year-over-year. Excluding the impact of notable items, earnings per share were $1.52, up 20% year-over-year, and we generated a return on tangible common equity of 23% in the third quarter.
Our actions to run our company better, including our ongoing transition to a platforms operating model, are starting to deliver progress toward our medium-term financial targets and additional capacity to reinvest for growth through new and enhanced client solutions. In the third quarter, this focus on being more for our clients included the announcement of the planned acquisition of Archer, that will deliver an enterprise solution to clients in the fast-growing managed account ecosystem, and the introduction of Alts Bridge to broaden investor access to Alternatives.
Powering our one-BNY culture is essential to continued execution, and I want to thank our employees for their hard work. The combination of our talented team, our portfolio of leading businesses working together, and the strength of our balance sheet, gives us a great foundation to deliver more to our clients and drive sustainable, long-term shareholder value.
- Robin Vince, President and Chief Executive Officer

BNY 3Q24 Financial Results
EXPLANATION OF GAAP AND NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

BNY 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 income, 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 has 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.

See "Explanation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Financial Measures" in the Financial Supplement available at www.bny.com for additional reconciliations of Non-GAAP measures.

BNY has also included revenue measures excluding notable items, including disposal gains. Expense measures, excluding notable items, including severance expense, litigation reserves and the FDIC special assessment, are also presented. Litigation reserves represent accruals for loss contingencies that are both probable and reasonably estimable, but exclude standard business-related legal fees. 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 and pre-tax operating margin, excluding the notable items mentioned above, are also provided. These measures are provided to permit investors to view the financial measures on a basis consistent with how management views the businesses.
