NEW YORK, October 15, 2026 – The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (“BNY”) (NYSE: BNY) today has reported financial results for the third quarter of 2026.
| CEO COMMENTARY | ||||||||
| BNY delivered strong results in the third quarter. With broad-based growth across our platforms, we increased revenue by 12% year-over-year, delivering significant operating leverage and earnings per share growth of 24%. For the quarter, we generated a very solid pre-tax margin of 39% and a strong ROTCE of 29%. | |||||||
| Our performance in the quarter once again highlights the resilience and durability of our business model against the backdrop of an overall constructive but uneven operating environment. | ||||||||
| Client demand continued to grow, underpinned by our ongoing work to unlock the value inherent in the combination of BNY’s businesses enabled by our platform operating and commercial models. Sales and pipelines remained very healthy across products, client segments and regions and we launched several solutions during the quarter that are meeting emerging needs in the market. | ||||||||
| Looking ahead, our teams around the world are energized by BNY’s momentum and excited about the opportunities in front of us to create value for our clients and shareholders. |

KEY DRIVERS (comparisons are 3Q26 vs. 3Q25, unless otherwise noted) •Total revenue increased 12%, primarily reflecting:
•Fee revenue increased 12%, primarily reflecting net new business, higher client activity and higher market values, partially offset by the mix of AUM flows.
•Investment and other revenue decreased primarily reflecting the impact of fixed income and equity trading activity, seed capital results and the absence of a 3Q25 disposal gain, partially offset by other investment gains.
•Net interest income increased 15%, primarily reflecting the reinvestment of investment securities at higher yields and balance sheet growth, partially offset by deposit margin compression.
•Provision for credit losses was $1 million.
•Noninterest expense increased 8%, primarily reflecting higher revenue-related expenses and investments, partially offset by efficiency savings.
•Effective tax rate of 22.8%.
Assets under custody and/or administration (“AUC/A”) and Assets under management (“AUM”) •AUC/A increased 10%, primarily reflecting higher market values, net client inflows and net new business, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of a stronger U.S. dollar.
•AUM increased 2%, primarily reflecting higher market values, partially offset by cumulative net outflows and the unfavorable impact of the stronger U.S. dollar.
Capital and liquidity
•$436 million of dividends to common shareholders (a); $937 million of common share repurchases.
•Return on common equity (“ROE”) – 16.0%.

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.
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. 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 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.
