Items 2. and 3. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations; Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

General

In this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, references to “our,” “we,” “us,” “BNY Mellon,” the “Company” and similar terms refer to The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries. The term “Parent” refers to The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation but not its subsidiaries.

Certain business terms used in this report are defined in the Glossary included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended Dec. 31, 2018 (“2018 Annual Report”).

The following should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report. Investors should also read the section titled “Forward-looking Statements.”

Overview

Established in 1784 by Alexander Hamilton, we were the first company listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: BK). With a more than 230-year history, BNY Mellon is a global company that manages and services assets for financial institutions, corporations and individual investors in 35 countries.

BNY Mellon has two business segments, Investment Services and Investment Management, which offer a comprehensive set of capabilities and deep expertise across the investment lifecycle, enabling the Company to provide solutions to buy-side and sell-side market participants, as well as leading institutional and wealth management clients globally.

The diagram below presents our two business segments and lines of business, with the remaining operations in the Other segment.

Key second quarter 2019 and subsequent events

Share repurchase program and increase in cash dividend on common stock

In June 2019, our Board of Directors approved the repurchase of up to $3.94 billion of common stock starting in the third quarter of 2019 and continuing through the second quarter of 2020.

Additionally, in July 2019, our Board of Directors approved an 11% increase in the quarterly cash dividend on common stock, from $0.28 to $0.31 per share. This increased quarterly cash dividend will be paid on Aug. 9, 2019.

Highlights of second quarter 2019 results

Net income applicable to common shareholders was $969 million, or $1.01 per diluted common share, in the second quarter of 2019. Net income applicable to common shareholders was $1.06 billion, or $1.03 per diluted common share, in the second quarter of 2018. The highlights below are based on the second quarter of 2019 compared with the second quarter of 2018, unless otherwise noted.

Total revenue of $3.9 billion decreased 5% primarily reflecting:
Fee revenue decreased 3% primarily reflecting cumulative AUM outflows since the second quarter of 2018, the unfavorable impact of a stronger U.S. dollar and lower foreign exchange and securities lending revenue, partially offset by higher fees in Issuer Services, growth in clearance volumes and collateral management, as well as higher client assets and volumes in Pershing. (See “Fee and other revenue” beginning on page 6.)
Net interest revenue decreased 12% as the higher yield on interest-earning assets was more than offset by higher deposit and funding costs, lower noninterest-bearing deposits and loan balances and the impact of hedging activities. The impact of hedging activities is offset in foreign exchange and other trading revenue. (See “Net interest revenue” on page 8.)
Noninterest expense of $2.6 billion decreased 4%. Over 1% of the decrease was driven by the favorable impact of a stronger U.S. dollar. The remaining decrease primarily reflects lower staff expense and decreases in most other expense categories, partially offset by continued investments in technology. (See “Noninterest expense” on page 11.)
Effective tax rate of 20.5%. (See “Income taxes” on page 11.)
 
Capital and liquidity

CET1 ratio under the Advanced Approach was 11.1% at June 30, 2019, unchanged compared with March 31, 2019, reflecting capital generated through earnings and the unrealized gain in our investment securities portfolio, offset by capital deployed through common stock repurchases, dividends payments and higher risk-weighted assets (“RWA”). (See “Capital” beginning on page 33.)
Repurchased 15.3 million common shares for $750 million and paid $270 million in dividends to common shareholders in the second quarter of 2019.

Highlights of our principal businesses

Investment Services
Total revenue decreased 3%.
Income before taxes decreased 8%.
AUC/A of $35.5 trillion, increased 6%, primarily reflecting higher market values and net new business, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of a stronger U.S. dollar.

Investment Management
Total revenue decreased 10%.
Income before taxes decreased 17%.
AUM of $1.8 trillion increased 2%, primarily reflecting higher market values, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of a stronger U.S. dollar (principally versus the British pound) and net outflows.

See “Review of businesses” and Note 20 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on our businesses.

N/M - Not meaningful.


Fee and other revenue decreased 3% compared with the second quarter of 2018 and increased 3% compared with the first quarter of 2019. The decrease compared with the second quarter of 2018 primarily reflects lower investment management and performance fees, investment and other income, foreign exchange and other trading revenue and asset servicing fees, partially offset by an increase in issuer services and clearing services fees. The increase compared with the first quarter of 2019 primarily reflects higher issuer services, asset servicing and clearing services fees.

Investment services fees

Investment services fees were impacted by the following compared with the second quarter of 2018 and the first quarter of 2019:

Asset servicing fees decreased 1% compared with the second quarter of 2018 and increased 2% compared with the first quarter of 2019. The decrease compared with the second quarter of 2018 primarily reflects lower securities lending revenue, lower client activity and the unfavorable
 
impact of a stronger U.S. dollar, partially offset by growth in clearance volumes and collateral management. The increase compared with the first quarter of 2019 primarily reflects growth in clearance volumes and collateral management.
Clearing services fees increased 2% compared with the second quarter of 2018 and 3% compared with the first quarter of 2019. Both increases primarily reflect higher client assets and volumes.
Issuer services fees increased 9% compared with the second quarter of 2018 and 16% compared with the first quarter of 2019. Both increases primarily reflect higher fees in Depositary Receipts and Corporate Trust.
Treasury services fees was unchanged compared with the second quarter of 2018 and increased 6% compared with the first quarter of 2019. The increase compared with the first quarter of 2019 primarily reflects higher payment volumes.

See the “Investment Services business” in “Review of businesses” for additional details.

Investment management and performance fees

Investment management and performance fees decreased 8% compared with the second quarter of 2018 and 1% compared with the first quarter of 2019. The decrease compared with the second quarter of 2018 primarily reflects the impact of cumulative AUM outflows since the second quarter of 2018 and the unfavorable impact of a stronger U.S. dollar (principally versus the British pound), partially offset by higher market values. On a constant currency basis (Non-GAAP), investment management and performance fees decreased 6% compared with the second quarter of 2018. The decrease compared with the first quarter of 2019 primarily reflects the timing of performance fees, partially offset by higher market values. Performance fees were $2 million in the second quarter of 2019, $12 million in the second quarter of 2018 and $31 million in the first quarter of 2019.

AUM was $1.8 trillion at June 30, 2019, an increase of 2% compared with June 30, 2018, primarily reflecting higher market values, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of a stronger U.S. dollar (principally versus the British pound) and net outflows.

See the “Investment Management business” in “Review of businesses” for additional details regarding the drivers of investment management and performance fees, AUM and AUM flows.

Foreign exchange revenue is primarily driven by the volume of client transactions and the spread realized on these transactions, both of which are impacted by market volatility and the impact of foreign currency hedging activities. In the second quarter of 2019, foreign exchange revenue totaled $150 million, a decrease of 12% compared with the second quarter of 2018 and 6% compared with the first quarter of 2019. Both decreases primarily reflect lower volumes and volatility. Foreign exchange revenue is primarily reported in the Investment Services business and, to a
 
lesser extent, the Investment Management business and the Other segment.

Distribution and servicing fees

Distribution and servicing fees decreased compared with the second quarter of 2018 and was unchanged compared with the first quarter of 2019. The decrease compared with the second quarter of 2018 primarily reflects lower fees from mutual funds.

(a)
Excludes seed capital gains related to consolidated investment management funds, which are reflected in operations of consolidated investment management funds.
(b)
The first quarter 2019 amounts were adjusted to correct the classification of certain revenue between seed capital and other income.


Investment and other income decreased compared with the second quarter of 2018 and increased compared with the first quarter of 2019. The decrease compared with the second quarter of 2018 primarily reflects lower asset-related gains, foreign currency translation and increased pre-tax losses on investments in renewable energy, partially offset by higher seed capital gains. The increase compared with the first quarter of 2019 primarily reflects higher seed capital gains.

Year-to-date 2019 compared with year-to-date 2018

Fee and other revenue decreased 5% compared with the first six months of 2018, primarily reflecting lower investment management and performance fees, investment and other income, asset servicing fees and foreign exchange and other trading revenue, partially offset by net securities losses recorded in the first six months of 2018. The 10% decrease in investment management and performance fees primarily reflects the impact of cumulative AUM outflows since the


BNY Mellon 7


second quarter of 2018, the unfavorable impact of a stronger U.S. dollar (principally versus the British pound) and the impact of divestitures. The decrease in investment and other income primarily reflects lower asset-related gains, which included the gain on the sale of CenterSquare and gains on equity investments both recorded in the first quarter of 2018. The 3% decrease in asset servicing fees primarily reflects lower client activity, the unfavorable impact
 
of a stronger U.S. dollar and lower securities lending revenue, partially offset by growth in clearance volumes and collateral management. The 15% decrease in foreign exchange and other trading revenue primarily reflects lower foreign exchange volumes and volatility. Net securities losses in the first six months of 2018 were driven by sales of debt securities.

Net interest revenue (FTE) – Non-GAAP and net interest margin (FTE) – Non-GAAP include the tax equivalent adjustments on tax-exempt income which allows for comparisons 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.
N/M - not meaningful.
bps - basis points.


Net interest revenue decreased 12% compared with the second quarter of 2018 and 5% compared with the first quarter of 2019. The decrease compared with the second quarter of 2018 primarily reflects higher yields on interest-earning assets, which were more than offset by the higher deposit and funding costs, lower noninterest-bearing deposits and loan balances and the impact of hedging activities. The decrease compared with the first quarter of 2019 was primarily driven by higher interest-bearing deposit costs, lower noninterest-bearing deposit balances, lower yields on interest-earning assets and the impact of hedging activities, partially offset by the benefit of higher interest-bearing deposit balances. The impact of hedging activities is offset in foreign exchange and other trading revenue.

Net interest margin decreased 14 basis points compared with the second quarter of 2018 and 8 basis points compared with the first quarter of 2019. The decrease compared with the second quarter of 2018 primarily reflects higher deposit rates, partially offset by higher asset yields. The decrease compared with the first quarter of 2019 primarily reflects higher deposit rates and lower asset yields.
 
Average non-U.S. dollar deposits comprised approximately 30% of our average total deposits in the second quarter of 2019. Approximately 45% of the average non-U.S. dollar deposits in the second quarter of 2019 were euro-denominated.

Net interest revenue in future quarters will depend on the level and mix of client deposits, deposit rates, as well as the level and shape of the yield curve which may result in lower yields on interest-earning assets.

Year-to-date 2019 compared with year-to-date 2018

Net interest revenue decreased 10% compared with the first six months of 2018, primarily driven by higher yields on interest-earning assets which were more than offset by the higher deposit and funding costs, lower noninterest-bearing deposits and loan balances and the impact of hedging activities. The impact of hedging activities is offset in foreign exchange and other trading revenue. The decrease in the net interest margin primarily reflects higher deposit rates, partially offset by higher asset yields.

Includes the average impact of offsetting under enforceable netting agreements of approximately $51 billion for the second quarter of 2019, $44 billion for the first quarter of 2019 and $18 billion for the second quarter of 2018. On a Non-GAAP basis, excluding the impact of offsetting, the yield on federal funds sold and securities purchased under resale agreements would have been 2.57% for the second quarter of 2019, 2.63% for the first quarter of 2019 and 2.01% for the second quarter of 2018.  On a Non-GAAP basis, excluding the impact of offsetting, the rate on federal funds purchased and securities sold under repurchase agreements would have been 2.39% for the second quarter of 2019, 2.40% for the first quarter of 2019 and 1.75% for the second quarter of 2018. We believe providing the rates excluding the impact of netting is useful to investors as it is more reflective of the actual rates earned and paid.

Average rates were calculated on an FTE basis, at tax rates of approximately 21%, and annualized.

Total noninterest expense decreased 4% compared with the second quarter of 2018 and 2% compared with the first quarter of 2019. The decrease compared with the second quarter of 2018 primarily reflects lower staff expense, the favorable impact of a stronger U.S. dollar and decreases in most other expense categories, partially offset by continued investments in technology. The investments in technology are included in staff, professional, legal and other purchased services, and software and equipment expenses. The decrease compared with the first quarter of 2019 primarily reflects lower staff expense, driven by the impact of vesting of long-term stock awards for retirement eligible employees recorded in the first quarter of 2019. The decrease was partially offset by higher software and equipment, volume-related and professional, legal and other purchased services expenses.
 
Our investments in technology infrastructure and platforms are expected to continue at recent levels. As a result, we expect to incur higher technology-related expenses in 2019 than in 2018. This increase is expected to be mostly offset by decreases in other expenses as we continue to manage overall expenses.

Year-to-date 2019 compared with year-to-date 2018

Noninterest expense decreased 3% compared with the first six months of 2018. The decrease primarily reflects lower staff expense, the favorable impact of a stronger U.S. dollar and decreases in most other expense categories, partially offset by continued investments in technology.

Income taxes

BNY Mellon recorded an income tax provision of $264 million (20.5% effective tax rate) in the second quarter of 2019, $286 million (20.5% effective tax rate) in the second quarter of 2018 and $237 million (19.9% effective tax rate) in the first quarter of 2019. For additional information, see Note 12 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Review of businesses

We have an internal information system that produces performance data along product and service lines for our two principal businesses, Investment Services and Investment Management, and the Other segment.

Business accounting principles

Our business data has been determined on an internal management basis of accounting, rather than the generally accepted accounting principles used for consolidated financial reporting. These measurement principles are designed so that reported results of the businesses will track their economic performance.

For information on the accounting principles of our businesses, see Note 20 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. For information on the primary products and services in each line of business, the primary types of revenue by business and how our businesses are presented and analyzed, see Note 23 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2018 Annual Report.

Business results are subject to reclassification when organizational changes are made. There were no significant organizational changes in the second quarter of 2019. The results are also subject to refinements in revenue and expense allocation methodologies, which are typically reflected on a prospective basis.

The results of our businesses may be influenced by client and other activities that vary by quarter. In the first quarter, staff expense typically increases reflecting the vesting of long-term stock awards for retirement-eligible employees. In the third quarter, volume-related fees may decline due to reduced client
 
activity. In the third quarter, staff expense typically increases, reflecting the annual employee merit increase. In the fourth quarter, we typically incur higher business development and marketing expenses. In our Investment Management business, performance fees are typically higher in the fourth and first quarters, as those quarters represent the end of the measurement period for many of the performance fee-eligible relationships.

The results of our businesses may also be impacted by the translation of financial results denominated in foreign currencies to the U.S. dollar. We are primarily impacted by activities denominated in the British pound and the euro. On a consolidated basis and in our Investment Services business, we typically have more foreign currency-denominated expenses than revenues. However, our Investment Management business typically has more foreign currency-denominated revenues than expenses. Overall, currency fluctuations impact the year-over-year growth rate in the Investment Management business more than the Investment Services business. However, currency fluctuations, in isolation, are not expected to significantly impact net income on a consolidated basis.

Fee revenue in Investment Management, and to a lesser extent in Investment Services, is impacted by the value of market indices. At June 30, 2019, we estimate that a 5% change in global equity markets, spread evenly throughout the year, would impact fee revenue by less than 1% and diluted earnings per common share by $0.03 to $0.05.

See Note 20 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for the consolidating schedules which show the contribution of our businesses to our overall profitability.

Review of financial results

AUC/A increased 6% compared with June 30, 2018 to $35.5 trillion, primarily reflecting higher market values and net new business, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of a stronger U.S. dollar. AUC/A consisted of 35% equity securities and 65% fixed-income securities at June 30, 2019 and 37% equity securities and 63% fixed-income securities at June 30, 2018.

Total revenue of $3.0 billion decreased 3% compared with the second quarter of 2018 and increased 2% compared with the first quarter of 2019. The drivers of total revenue by line of business are indicated below.

Asset Servicing revenue of $1.4 billion decreased 8% compared with the second quarter of 2018 and 1% compared with the first quarter of 2019. The decrease compared with the second quarter of 2018 primarily reflects lower net interest revenue, lower foreign exchange and securities lending revenue, lower client activity and the unfavorable impact of a stronger U.S. dollar. The decrease compared with the


14 BNY Mellon


first quarter of 2019 primarily reflects lower net interest revenue.

Pershing revenue of $564 million increased 1% compared with the second quarter of 2018 and 2% compared with the first quarter of 2019. Both increases primarily reflect higher client assets and volumes, partially offset by lower net interest revenue.

Issuer Services revenue of $446 million increased 3% compared with the second quarter of 2018 and 13% compared with the first quarter of 2019. Both increases primarily reflect higher fees in Depositary Receipts and Corporate Trust. The increase compared with the second quarter of 2018 was partially offset by lower net interest revenue in Corporate Trust.

Treasury Services revenue of $317 million decreased 4% compared with the second quarter of 2018 and was unchanged compared with the first quarter of 2019. The decrease primarily reflects lower net interest revenue.

Clearance and Collateral Management revenue of $284 million increased 6% compared with the second quarter of 2018 and 3% compared with the first quarter of 2019. Both increases primarily reflect growth in clearance volumes and collateral management, partially offset by lower net interest revenue.

Market and regulatory trends are driving investable assets toward lower fee asset management products at reduced margins for our clients. These dynamics are also negatively impacting our investment services fees. However, at the same time, these trends are providing additional outsourcing opportunities as clients and other market participants seek to comply with new regulations and reduce their operating costs.

 
Noninterest expense of $2.0 billion decreased 1% compared with the second quarter of 2018 and first quarter of 2019. The decrease compared with the second quarter of 2018 was primarily driven by lower staff expense and bank assessment charges and the favorable impact of a stronger U.S. dollar, partially offset by higher investments in technology. The decrease compared with the first quarter of 2019 primarily reflects lower staff expense, partially offset by higher volume-related expenses.

Year-to date 2019 compared with year-to-date 2018

Total revenue of $6.0 billion decreased 4% compared with the first six months of 2018. Asset Servicing revenue of $2.8 billion decreased 8% primarily reflecting lower net interest revenue, lower foreign exchange and securities lending revenue, the unfavorable impact of a stronger U.S. dollar and lower client activity. Pershing revenue of $1.1 billion decreased 2% primarily reflecting previously disclosed lost business and lower net interest revenue, partially offset by higher client assets. Issuer Services revenue of $842 million decreased 1% primarily reflecting lower net interest revenue due to lower Corporate Trust deposits and lower fees in Depositary Receipts, partially offset by higher fees in Corporate Trust. Treasury Services revenue of $634 million decreased 2% primarily reflecting lower net interest revenue. Clearance and Collateral Management revenue of $560 million increased 7% primarily reflecting growth in collateral management and clearance volumes, partially offset by lower net interest revenue.

Noninterest expense of $3.9 billion increased less than 1% compared with the first six months of 2018 primarily reflecting higher investments in technology, partially offset by lower staff expense, the favorable impact of a stronger U.S. dollar and lower bank assessment charges.

Business description

Our Investment Management business consists of two lines of business, Asset Management and Wealth Management. The Asset Management business offers diversified investment management strategies and distribution of investment products. The Wealth Management business provides investment management, custody, wealth and estate planning and private banking services. See pages 18 and 19 of our 2018 Annual Report for additional information on our Investment Management business.

Review of financial results

AUM increased 2% compared with June 30, 2018 primarily reflecting higher market values, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of a stronger U.S. dollar (principally versus the British pound) and net outflows.

Net long-term strategy outflows were $26 billion in the second quarter of 2019, primarily resulting from
 
outflows of index and fixed income funds. Market and regulatory trends have resulted in increased demand for lower fee asset management products, and for performance-based fees.

Total revenue of $917 million decreased 10% compared with the second quarter of 2018 and 2% compared with the first quarter of 2019.

Asset Management revenue of $618 million decreased 12% compared with the second quarter of 2018 and 3% compared with the first quarter of 2019. The decrease compared with the second quarter of 2018 primarily reflects the change in AUM, which was impacted by the cumulative outflows since the second quarter of 2018, partially offset by higher market values. The decrease compared with the second quarter of 2018 also reflects the unfavorable impact of a stronger U.S. dollar (principally versus the British pound) and the impact of divestitures and hedging activities. The decrease compared with the first quarter of 2019 primarily reflects the timing of


BNY Mellon 17


performance fees and the impact of AUM outflows, partially offset by higher market values.

Wealth Management revenue of $299 million decreased 5% compared with the second quarter of 2018 and 1% compared with the first quarter of 2019. Both decreases primarily reflect lower net interest revenue, partially offset by higher market values.

Revenue generated in the Investment Management business included 38% from non-U.S. sources in the second quarter of 2019, compared with 41% in the second quarter of 2018 and 40% in the first quarter of 2019.

Noninterest expense of $654 million decreased 6% compared with the second quarter of 2018 and 2% compared with the first quarter of 2019. Both decreases reflect lower staff expense. The decrease compared with the second quarter of 2018 also
reflects the favorable impact of a stronger U.S. dollar and lower distribution and servicing expense.
 
Year-to date 2019 compared with year-to-date 2018

Total revenue of $1.9 billion decreased 12% compared with the first six months of 2018. Asset Management revenue of $1.3 billion decreased 15%, primarily reflecting net outflows, the impact of divestitures, the unfavorable impact of a stronger U.S. dollar (principally versus the British pound) and the impact of hedging activities, partially offset by higher market values. Wealth management revenue of $601 million decreased 5%, reflecting lower net interest revenue and fees.

Noninterest expense of $1.3 billion decreased 6% compared with the first six months of 2018, primarily reflecting lower staff expense, the favorable impact of a stronger U.S. dollar (principally versus the British pound) and lower distribution and servicing expense.

Review of financial results

Fee revenue, net securities gains and net interest expense are primarily related to corporate treasury and other investment activity, including hedging activity which offsets between fee revenue and net interest expense.

Noninterest expense decreased $42 million compared with the second quarter of 2018 and $22 million compared with the first quarter of 2019, primarily reflecting lower staff expense. The decrease compared with the second quarter of 2018 also
 
reflects the expenses associated with relocating our corporate headquarters, of which $12 million was recorded in the second quarter of 2018.

Year-to date 2019 compared with year-to-date 2018

Losses before taxes decreased $54 million compared with the first six months of 2018. Total revenue decreased $12 million, primarily reflecting corporate treasury activity and lower asset-related gains, partially offset by net securities losses recorded in the first six months of 2018. Noninterest expense decreased $68 million, primarily reflecting expenses associated with relocating our corporate headquarters recorded in 2018 and lower staff expense.

Critical accounting estimates

Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2018 Annual Report. Our critical accounting estimates are those related to the allowance for loan losses and allowance for lending-related commitments, fair value of financial instruments and derivatives, goodwill and other intangibles and litigation and regulatory contingencies, as referenced below.

Also, see below.
Litigation and regulatory contingencies
“Legal proceedings” in Note 19 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.


Goodwill and other intangible assets

BNY Mellon’s three business segments include seven reporting units for which goodwill impairment testing is performed on an annual basis. The Investment Services segment is comprised of four reporting units; the Investment Management segment is comprised of two reporting units and one reporting unit is included in the Other segment.

In the second quarter of 2019, we performed our annual goodwill impairment test on all seven reporting units using an income approach to estimate fair values of each reporting unit. Estimated cash flows used in the income approach were based on management’s projections as of March 31, 2019. The discount rate applied to these cash flows was 10% and incorporated a 6% market equity risk premium. Estimated cash flows extend far into the future, and, by their nature, are difficult to estimate over such an extended time frame.

As a result of the annual goodwill impairment test of the seven reporting units, no goodwill impairment was recognized. The fair values of six of the Company’s reporting units were substantially in excess of the respective reporting units’ carrying value. The Asset Management reporting unit, with $7.2 billion of allocated goodwill, which is one of the
 
two reporting units in the Investment Management segment, exceeded its carrying value by approximately 18%. For the Asset Management reporting unit, in the future, small changes in the assumptions, such as changes in the level of AUM and operating margin, could produce a non-cash goodwill impairment. See “Critical accounting estimates” in the 2018 Annual Report for additional information on the annual goodwill impairment test.

Consolidated balance sheet review

One of our key risk management objectives is to maintain a balance sheet that remains strong throughout market cycles to meet the expectations of our major stakeholders, including our shareholders, clients, creditors and regulators.

We also seek to undertake overall liquidity risk, including intraday liquidity risk, that stays within our risk appetite. The objective of our balance sheet management strategy is to maintain a balance sheet that is characterized by strong liquidity and asset quality, ready access to external funding sources at competitive rates and a strong capital structure that supports our risk-taking activities and is adequate to absorb potential losses. In managing the balance sheet, appropriate consideration is given to balancing the competing needs of maintaining sufficient levels of liquidity and complying with applicable regulations and supervisory expectations while optimizing profitability.

At June 30, 2019, total assets were $381 billion, compared with $363 billion at Dec. 31, 2018. The increase in total assets was primarily driven by higher federal funds sold and securities purchased under resale agreements. Deposits totaled $253 billion at June 30, 2019, compared with $239 billion at Dec. 31, 2018. The increase reflects higher interest-bearing deposits in both U.S. and non-U.S. offices, partially offset by lower noninterest-bearing deposits principally in U.S. offices. Total interest-bearing deposits as a percentage of total interest-earning assets were 60% at June 30, 2019 and 54% at Dec. 31, 2018.

At June 30, 2019, available funds totaled $152 billion which include cash and due from banks, interest-bearing deposits with the Federal Reserve and other central banks, interest-bearing deposits with banks and federal funds sold and securities purchased under resale agreements. This compares with available


BNY Mellon 19


funds of $135 billion at Dec. 31, 2018. Total available funds as a percentage of total assets were 40% at June 30, 2019 and 37% at Dec. 31, 2018. For additional information on our liquid funds and available funds, see “Liquidity and dividends.”

Securities were $120.1 billion, or 32% of total assets, at June 30, 2019, compared with $119.8 billion, or 33% of total assets, at Dec. 31, 2018. Lower investments in U.S. Treasury and state and political subdivision securities were more than offset by additional investments in agency residential mortgage-backed securities (“RMBS”), sovereign debt/sovereign guaranteed securities and an increase in the net unrealized pre-tax gain, as well as additional investments in nearly all other types of securities. For additional information on our securities portfolio, see “Securities” and Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Loans were $52 billion, or 14% of total assets, at June 30, 2019, compared with $57 billion, or 16% of total assets, at Dec. 31, 2018. The decrease was primarily driven by lower margin loans and overdrafts. For additional information on our loan portfolio, see “Loans” and Note 5 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Long-term debt totaled $28 billion at June 30, 2019 and $29 billion at Dec. 31, 2018. The decrease
 
reflects maturities of $2.8 billion, partially offset by issuances and an increase in the fair value of hedged long-term debt. For additional information on long-term debt, see “Liquidity and dividends.”

The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation total shareholders’ equity increased to $41.5 billion from $40.6 billion at Dec. 31, 2018. For additional information on our capital, see “Capital.”

Country risk exposure

The following table presents BNY Mellon’s top 10 exposures by country (excluding the U.S.) as of June 30, 2019, as well as certain countries with higher risk profiles, and is presented on an internal risk management basis. We monitor our exposure to these and other countries as part of our internal country risk management process.

The country risk exposure below reflects the Company’s risk to an immediate default of the counterparty or obligor based on the country of residence of the entity which incurs the liability. If there is credit risk mitigation, the country of residence of the entity providing the risk mitigation is the country of risk. The country of risk for investment securities is generally based on the domicile of the issuer of the security.

Our largest country risk exposure, based on our internal country risk management process at June 30, 2019, was to the UK, which is planning to withdraw from the European Union (“EU”). For additional information, see “Recent accounting and regulatory developments - The United Kingdom’s Withdrawal from the European Union (“Brexit”)” in our first quarter 2019 Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in our 2018 Annual Report, “Risk Factors - The United Kingdom’s referendum decision to leave the EU has had and may continue to have negative effects on global economic conditions, global financial markets, and our business and results of operations.”

Events in recent years have resulted in increased focus on Italy, Spain and Brazil. The country risk exposure to Italy and Spain primarily consists of
 
investment grade sovereign debt. The country risk exposure to Brazil is primarily short-term trade finance loans extended to large financial institutions. We also have operations in Brazil providing investment services and investment management services.

Securities

In the discussion of our securities portfolio, we have included certain credit ratings information because the information can indicate the degree of credit risk to which we are exposed. Significant changes in ratings classifications for our securities portfolio could indicate increased credit risk for us and could be accompanied by a reduction in the fair value of our securities portfolio.

by additional investments in agency RMBS, sovereign debt/sovereign guaranteed securities and an increase in the net unrealized pre-tax gain as well as additional investments in nearly all other types of securities.


BNY Mellon 21


At June 30, 2019, the total securities portfolio had a net unrealized gain of $530 million, compared with a net unrealized loss of $907 million at Dec. 31, 2018, including the impact of related hedges. The increase in the net unrealized pre-tax gain was primarily driven by lower market interest rates.

The unrealized gain (after-tax) on our available-for-sale securities portfolio, net of hedges, included in accumulated other comprehensive income (“OCI”) was $287 million at June 30, 2019, compared with an unrealized loss (after-tax) of $167 million at Dec. 31, 2018.

 
At June 30, 2019, 95% of the securities in our portfolio were rated AAA/AA-, unchanged when compared with Dec. 31, 2018.

See Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for the pre-tax net securities gains (losses) by security type. See Note 16 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for details of securities by level in the fair value hierarchy.

At June 30, 2019, total exposures of $106.1 billion decreased 4% compared with Dec. 31, 2018, primarily reflecting lower margin loans, commercial exposure and overdrafts, partially offset by higher financial institutions exposure.
 
Our financial institutions and commercial portfolios comprise our largest concentrated risk. These portfolios comprised 59% of our total exposure at June 30, 2019 and 57% at Dec. 31, 2018. Additionally, most of our overdrafts relate to financial institutions.

The financial institutions portfolio exposure was $47.1 billion at June 30, 2019, an increase of 3% from Dec. 31, 2018, primarily reflecting higher exposure to the securities industry and asset managers portfolios, partially offset by lower exposure to the banks portfolio.

Financial institution exposures are high-quality, with 95% of the exposures meeting the investment grade equivalent criteria of our internal credit rating classification at June 30, 2019. Each customer is assigned an internal credit rating, which is mapped to an equivalent external rating agency grade based upon a number of dimensions, which are continually evaluated and may change over time. The exposure to financial institutions is generally short-term. Of these exposures, 85% expire within one year and 16% expire within 90 days. In addition, 84% of the financial institutions exposure is secured. For example, securities industry clients and asset managers often borrow against marketable securities held in custody.

For ratings of non-U.S. counterparties, our internal credit rating is generally capped at a rating equivalent to the sovereign rating of the country where the counterparty resides, regardless of the internal credit
 
rating assigned to the counterparty or the underlying collateral.

At June 30, 2019, the secured intraday credit provided to dealers in connection with their tri-party repo activity totaled $20.6 billion and was primarily included in the securities industry portfolio. Dealers secure the outstanding intraday credit with high-quality liquid collateral having a market value in excess of the amount of the outstanding credit.

Our bank exposure primarily relates to our global trade finance. These exposures are short-term in nature, with 98% due in less than one year. The investment grade percentage of our bank exposure was 76% at June 30, 2019, compared with 77% at Dec. 31, 2018. Our non-investment grade exposures are primarily in Brazil. These loans are primarily trade finance loans.

The asset manager portfolio exposure was high-quality, with 98% of the exposures meeting our investment grade equivalent ratings criteria as of June 30, 2019. These exposures are generally short-term liquidity facilities, with the majority to regulated mutual funds.

The commercial portfolio exposure was $15.3 billion at June 30, 2019, a decrease of 12% from Dec. 31, 2018, primarily driven by lower unfunded commitments.

Utilities-related exposure represents approximately 76% of the energy and utilities portfolio at June 30, 2019. Included in this portfolio is unsecured funded exposure of approximately $100 million to a California utility company that filed for bankruptcy in the first quarter of 2019. In July, we entered into agreements to sell all of this exposure, which are expected to settle in the third quarter of 2019, and will result in an $8 million reduction to the allowance for credit losses.

The remaining exposure in the energy and utilities portfolio, which includes exposure to refining, exploration and production companies, integrated companies and pipelines, was 94% investment grade at June 30, 2019, and 88% at Dec. 31, 2018.

Our credit strategy is to focus on investment grade clients that are active users of our non-credit services. The following table summarizes the percentage of the financial institutions and commercial portfolio exposures that are investment grade.

Wealth management loans and mortgages

Our wealth management exposure was $16.5 billion at June 30, 2019, compared with $16.8 billion at Dec. 31, 2018. Wealth management loans and mortgages primarily consist of loans to high-net-worth individuals, which are secured by marketable securities and/or residential property. Wealth management mortgages are primarily interest-only, adjustable-rate mortgages with a weighted-average loan-to-value ratio of 62% at origination. Less than 1% of the mortgages were past due at June 30, 2019.

At June 30, 2019, the wealth management mortgage portfolio consisted of the following geographic concentrations: California - 23%; New York - 18%; Massachusetts - 10%; Florida - 8%; and other - 41%.

Commercial real estate

Our commercial real estate exposure totaled $8.8 billion at June 30, 2019, compared with $8.3 billion at Dec. 31, 2018. Our income-producing commercial real estate facilities are focused on experienced owners and are structured with moderate leverage based on existing cash flows. Our commercial real estate lending activities also include construction and renovation facilities. Our client base consists of experienced developers and long-term holders of real estate assets. Loans are approved on the basis of existing or projected cash flows and supported by appraisals and knowledge of local market conditions. Development loans are structured with moderate leverage, and in many instances, involve some level of recourse to the developer.

At June 30, 2019, 63% of our commercial real estate portfolio was secured. The secured portfolio is diverse by project type, with 42% secured by residential buildings, 40% secured by office


24 BNY Mellon


buildings, 9% secured by retail properties and 9% secured by other categories. Approximately 96% of the unsecured portfolio consists of real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) and real estate operating companies, which are both predominantly investment grade.

At June 30, 2019, our commercial real estate portfolio consisted of the following concentrations: New York metro - 42%; REITs and real estate operating companies - 36%; and other - 22%.

Lease financings

The leasing portfolio exposure totaled $1.2 billion at June 30, 2019 and $1.3 billion at Dec. 31, 2018 and consisted of exposures backed by well-diversified assets, including large-ticket transportation equipment, the largest consisting of passenger and freight train cars. At June 30, 2019, approximately 97% of the leasing portfolio exposure was investment grade, or investment grade equivalent.

Other residential mortgages

The other residential mortgages portfolio primarily consists of 1-4 family residential mortgage loans and totaled $549 million at June 30, 2019 and $594 million at Dec. 31, 2018. Included in this portfolio at June 30, 2019 were $111 million of mortgage loans purchased in 2005, 2006 and the first quarter of 2007, of which 10% of the serviced loan balance was at least 60 days delinquent.

 
Overdrafts

Overdrafts primarily relate to custody and securities clearance clients and are generally repaid within two business days.

Other loans

Other loans primarily include loans to consumers that are fully collateralized with equities, mutual funds and fixed-income securities.

Margin loans

Margin loan exposure of $10.7 billion at June 30, 2019 and $13.6 billion at Dec. 31, 2018 was collateralized with marketable securities. Borrowers are required to maintain a daily collateral margin in excess of 100% of the value of the loan. Margin loans included $1.1 billion at June 30, 2019 and $2.6 billion at Dec. 31, 2018 related to a term loan program that offers fully collateralized loans to broker-dealers. The decrease in margin loans was primarily driven by lower client demand.

Asset quality and allowance for credit losses

Our credit strategy is to focus on investment grade clients who are active users of our non-credit services. Our primary exposure to the credit risk of a customer consists of funded loans, unfunded contractual commitments to lend, standby letters of credit (“SBLC”) and overdrafts associated with our custody and securities clearance businesses.

The allowance for credit losses decreased $11 million compared with Dec. 31, 2018, primarily reflecting a decrease in loans and lending-related commitments.

The provision for credit losses was a credit of $8 million in the second quarter 2019 driven by lower credit exposure. The provision of $7 million in the first quarter 2019 was driven by our exposure to a California utility company that filed for bankruptcy.

We had $10.6 billion of secured margin loans on our balance sheet at June 30, 2019 compared with $13.5 billion at Dec. 31, 2018 and $15.1 billion at June 30, 2018. We have rarely suffered a loss on these types of loans and do not allocate any of our allowance for credit losses to them. As a result, we believe that the ratio of total allowance for credit losses as a percentage of non-margin loans is a more appropriate metric to measure the adequacy of the reserve.

The allowance for loan losses and allowance for lending-related commitments represent management’s estimate of losses inherent in our credit portfolio. This evaluation process is subject to numerous estimates and judgments. To the extent actual results differ from forecasts or management’s judgment, the allowance for credit losses may be greater or less than future charge-offs.

 
Based on an evaluation of the allowance for credit losses as discussed in “Critical accounting estimates” and Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, both in our 2018 Annual Report, we have allocated our allowance for credit losses as follows.

The allocation of the allowance for credit losses is inherently judgmental, and the entire allowance for credit losses is available to absorb credit losses regardless of the nature of the losses.

The credit rating assigned to each credit is a significant variable in determining the allowance. If each credit were rated one grade better, the allowance would have decreased by $56 million, while if each credit were rated one grade worse, the allowance would have increased by $107 million. Similarly, if the loss given default were one rating worse, the allowance would have increased by $34 million, while if the loss given default were one rating better,


26 BNY Mellon


the allowance would have decreased by $28 million. For impaired credits, if the net carrying value of the loans was 10% higher or lower, the allowance would have decreased or increased by less than $1 million, respectively.

Nonperforming assets increased by $107 million compared with Dec. 31, 2018, primarily reflecting loans to a California utility company that filed for bankruptcy. Our nonperforming assets are expected to decrease in the third quarter of 2019 as a result of sales of the loans related to this utility company.


 
Deposits

Total deposits were $252.9 billion at June 30, 2019, an increase of 6%, compared with $238.8 billion at Dec. 31, 2018. The increase reflects higher interest-bearing deposits in both U.S. and non-U.S. offices, partially offset by lower noninterest-bearing deposits principally in U.S. offices.

Noninterest-bearing deposits were $58.3 billion at June 30, 2019 compared with $70.8 billion at Dec. 31, 2018. Interest-bearing deposits were $194.6 billion at June 30, 2019 compared with $168.0 billion at Dec. 31, 2018.

Short-term borrowings

We fund ourselves primarily through deposits and, to a lesser extent, other short-term borrowings and long-term debt. Short-term borrowings consist of federal funds purchased and securities sold under repurchase agreements, payables to customers and broker-dealers, commercial paper and other borrowed funds. Certain other borrowings, for example, securities sold under repurchase agreements, require the delivery of securities as collateral.

Information related to federal funds purchased and securities sold under repurchase agreements is presented below.

On a Non-GAAP basis, excluding the impact of offsetting, the weighted-average rates would have been 2.39% for the second quarter of 2019, 2.40% for the first quarter of 2019 and 1.75% for the second quarter of 2018. We believe providing the rates excluding the impact of netting is useful to investors as it is more reflective of the actual rates paid.

BNY Mellon 27


Fluctuations of federal funds purchased and securities sold under repurchase agreements between periods reflect changes in overnight borrowing opportunities. The increase in the weighted-average rates, compared with both March 31, 2019 and June 30, 2018, primarily reflects the increase in repurchase agreement activity with the Fixed Income Clearing Corporation (“FICC”), where we record interest expense gross, but the average balances reflect the impact of offsetting under enforceable netting agreements. The increased activity primarily relates to government securities collateralized resale and repurchase agreements executed with clients that are novated to and settle with the FICC.

The Bank of New York Mellon issues commercial paper that matures within 397 days from date of issue and is not redeemable prior to maturity or subject to voluntary prepayment. The fluctuations in the commercial paper balances, compared with prior periods, primarily reflect funding of investments in short-term assets.

Other borrowed funds primarily include borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”), overdrafts of sub-custodian account balances in our Investment Services businesses, finance lease liabilities and borrowings under lines of credit by our Pershing subsidiaries. Overdrafts typically relate to timing differences for settlements. The decrease in other borrowed funds, compared with prior periods, primarily reflects a decrease in borrowings from the FHLB.

Liquidity and dividends

BNY Mellon defines liquidity as the ability of the Parent and its subsidiaries to access funding or convert assets to cash quickly and efficiently, or to roll over or issue new debt, especially during periods of market stress, at a reasonable cost, and in order to meet its short-term (up to one year) obligations. Funding liquidity risk is the risk that BNY Mellon cannot meet its cash and collateral obligations at a reasonable cost for both expected and unexpected cash flow and collateral needs without adversely affecting daily operations or our financial condition. Funding liquidity risk can arise from funding mismatches, market constraints from the inability to convert assets into cash, the inability to hold or raise cash, low overnight deposits, deposit run-off or contingent liquidity events.

We also manage liquidity risk on an intraday basis. Intraday liquidity risk is the risk that BNY Mellon cannot access funds during the business day to make payments or settle immediate obligations, usually in real time. Intraday liquidity risk can arise from timing mismatches, market constraints from the inability to convert assets into cash, the inability to raise cash intraday, low overnight deposits and/or adverse stress events.
 
Changes in economic conditions or exposure to credit, market, operational, legal and reputational risks also can affect BNY Mellon’s liquidity risk profile and are considered in our liquidity risk framework.

The Parent’s policy is to have access to sufficient unencumbered cash and cash equivalents at each quarter-end to cover forecasted debt redemptions, net interest payments and net tax payments for the following 18-month period, and to provide sufficient collateral to satisfy transactions subject to Section 23A of the Federal Reserve Act. As of June 30, 2019, the Parent was in compliance with this policy.

For additional information on our liquidity policy, see “Risk Management - Liquidity risk” in our 2018 Annual Report.

We define available funds for internal liquidity management purposes as cash and due from banks, interest-bearing deposits with the Federal Reserve and other central banks, interest-bearing deposits with banks and federal funds sold and securities purchased under resale agreements. The following table presents our total available funds at period end and on an average basis.

Total available funds were $151.9 billion at June 30, 2019, compared with $134.8 billion at Dec. 31, 2018. The increase was primarily due to higher federal funds sold and securities purchased under resale agreements and interest-bearing deposits with the Federal Reserve and other central banks.

Average non-core sources of funds, such as federal funds purchased and securities sold under repurchase agreements, trading liabilities, commercial paper and other borrowed funds, were $18.4 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and $25.7 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The decrease primarily reflects a decrease in federal funds
 
purchased and securities sold under repurchase agreements.

Average foreign deposits, primarily from our European-based Investment Services businesses, were $91.4 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared with $101.3 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The decrease primarily reflects client activity. Average interest-bearing domestic deposits were $72.4 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and $52.9 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The increase primarily reflects an increase in demand deposits.



BNY Mellon 29


Average payables to customers and broker-dealers were $15.9 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and $16.7 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2018. Payables to customers and broker-dealers are driven by customer trading activity and market volatility.

Average long-term debt was $28.0 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and $28.4 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2018.

Average noninterest-bearing deposits decreased to $53.8 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2019 from $67.9 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2018, primarily reflecting client activity.

 
A significant reduction in our Investment Services business would reduce our access to deposits. See “Asset/liability management” for additional factors that could impact our deposit balances.

Sources of liquidity

The Parent’s three major sources of liquidity are access to the debt and equity markets, dividends from its subsidiaries, and cash on hand and cash otherwise made available in business-as-usual circumstances to the Parent through a committed credit facility with our intermediate holding company (“IHC”).

Our ability to access the capital markets on favorable terms, or at all, is partially dependent on our credit ratings, which are as follows:

Long-term debt totaled $28.2 billion at June 30, 2019 and $29.2 billion at Dec. 31, 2018. The decrease reflects maturities of $2.8 billion, partially offset by issuances of $1.25 billion and an increase in the fair value of hedged long-term debt. The Parent has $1.5 billion of long-term debt that will mature in the remainder of 2019.

In June 2019, The Bank of New York Mellon, our largest bank subsidiary, issued $1.25 billion of floating rate senior notes maturing in 2021 at an
 
annual interest rate of 3-month LIBOR plus 28 basis points.

The Bank of New York Mellon may issue notes and certificates of deposit (“CDs”). At June 30, 2019 and Dec. 31, 2018, $3.1 billion and $2.8 billion, respectively, of CDs were outstanding. At June 30, 2019 and Dec. 31, 2018, $2.3 billion and $1.0 billion, respectively, of notes issued by The Bank of New York Mellon were outstanding.



30 BNY Mellon


The Bank of New York Mellon also issues commercial paper that matures within 397 days from date of issue and is not redeemable prior to maturity or subject to voluntary prepayment. The average commercial paper outstanding was $2.2 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and $3.5 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2018. Commercial paper outstanding was $8.9 billion at June 30, 2019 and $1.9 billion at Dec. 31, 2018.

Subsequent to June 30, 2019, our U.S. bank subsidiaries could declare dividends to the Parent of approximately $1.2 billion, without the need for a regulatory waiver. In addition, at June 30, 2019, non-bank subsidiaries of the Parent had liquid assets of approximately $1.6 billion. Restrictions on our ability to obtain funds from our subsidiaries are discussed in more detail in “Supervision and Regulation - Capital Planning and Stress Testing - Payment of Dividends, Stock Repurchases and Other Capital Distributions” and in Note 18 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2018 Annual Report.

Pershing LLC has uncommitted lines of credit in place for liquidity purposes which are guaranteed by the Parent. Pershing LLC has three separate uncommitted lines of credit amounting to $750 million in aggregate. There were no borrowings under these lines in the second quarter of 2019. Pershing Limited, an indirect UK-based subsidiary of BNY Mellon, has three separate uncommitted lines of credit amounting to $350 million in aggregate. Average borrowings under these lines were $2 million, in aggregate, in the second quarter of 2019.

The double leverage ratio is the ratio of our equity investment in subsidiaries divided by our consolidated parent company equity, which includes our noncumulative perpetual preferred stock. In short, the double leverage ratio measures the extent to which equity in subsidiaries is financed by Parent company debt. As the double leverage ratio increases, this can reflect greater demands on a company’s cash flows in order to service interest payments and debt maturities. BNY Mellon’s double leverage ratio is managed in a range considering the high level of unencumbered available liquid assets held in its principal subsidiaries (such as central bank
 
deposit placements and government securities), the Company’s cash generating fee-based business model, with fee revenue representing 79% of total revenue in the second quarter of 2019, and the dividend capacity of our banking subsidiaries. Our double leverage ratio was 117.1% at June 30, 2019 and 117.7% at Dec. 31, 2018, and within the range targeted by management.

Uses of funds

The Parent’s major uses of funds are payment of dividends, repurchases of common stock, principal and interest payments on its borrowings, acquisitions and additional investments in its subsidiaries.

In May 2019, a quarterly cash dividend of $0.28 per common share was paid to common shareholders. Our common stock dividend payout ratio was 29% for the first six months of 2019.

In the second quarter of 2019, we repurchased 15.3 million common shares at an average price of $48.97 per common share for a total cost of $750 million.

In June 2019, following the Federal Reserve’s non- objection to our 2019 capital plan, BNY Mellon announced a share repurchase plan providing for the repurchase of up to $3.94 billion of common stock starting in the third quarter of 2019 and continuing through the second quarter of 2020. This new share repurchase plan replaces all previously authorized share repurchase plans.

In July 2019, BNY Mellon increased the quarterly cash dividend on common stock by approximately 11%, from $0.28 to $0.31 per share. This increased quarterly cash dividend will be paid on Aug. 9, 2019.

Liquidity coverage ratio

U.S. regulators have established an LCR that requires certain banking organizations, including BNY Mellon, to maintain a minimum amount of unencumbered high-quality liquid assets (“HQLA”) sufficient to withstand the net cash outflow under a hypothetical standardized acute liquidity stress scenario for a 30-day time horizon.


BNY Mellon 31


The following table presents BNY Mellon’s consolidated HQLA at June 30, 2019, and the average HQLA and average LCR for the second quarter of 2019.

Statement of cash flows

The following summarizes the activity reflected on the consolidated statement of cash flows. While this information may be helpful to highlight certain macro trends and business strategies, the cash flow analysis may not be as relevant when analyzing changes in our net earnings and net assets. We believe that in addition to the traditional cash flow analysis, the discussion related to liquidity and dividends and asset/liability management herein may provide more useful context in evaluating our liquidity position and related activity.

Net cash used for operating activities was $2.5 billion in the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared with net cash provided by operating activities of
 
$1.6 billion in the six months ended June 30, 2018. In the six months ended June 30, 2019, cash flows used for operations primarily resulted from changes in accruals and trading activities, partially offset by earnings. In the six months ended June 30, 2018, cash flows provided by operations primarily resulted from earnings, partially offset by changes in accruals and trading activities.

Net cash used for investing activities was $11.4 billion in the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared with net cash provided by investing activities of $15.2 billion in the six months ended June 30, 2018. In the six months ended June 30, 2019, net cash used for investing activities primarily reflects changes in federal funds sold and securities purchased under resale agreements, partially offset by changes in loans. In the six months ended June 30, 2018, net cash provided by investing activities primarily reflects changes in interest-bearing deposits with the Federal Reserve and other central banks and changes in loans, partially offset by changes in interest-bearing deposits with banks.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $13.2 billion in the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared with net cash used for financing activities of $16.8 billion in the six months ended June 30, 2018. In the six months ended June 30, 2019, net cash provided by financing activities primarily reflects changes in deposits and changes in commercial paper, partially offset by repayment of long-term debt, changes in federal funds purchased and securities sold under repurchase agreements and changes in other borrowed funds. In the six months ended June 30, 2018, net cash used for financing activities primarily reflects changes in deposits, repayment of long-term debt, changes in federal funds purchased and securities sold under repurchase agreements and common stock repurchases, partially offset by net proceeds from the issuance of long-term debt.

The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation total shareholders’ equity increased to $41.5 billion at June 30, 2019 from $40.6 billion at Dec. 31, 2018. The increase primarily reflects earnings, the unrealized gain in our investment securities portfolio and additional paid-in capital resulting from stock awards, partially offset by common stock repurchases and dividend payments.

In the second quarter of 2019, we repurchased 15.3 million common shares at an average price of $48.97 per common share for a total of $750 million under the current program.

The unrealized gain (after-tax) on our available-for-sale securities portfolio, net of hedges, included in accumulated OCI was $287 million at June 30, 2019, compared with an unrealized loss (after-tax) of $167 million at Dec. 31, 2018. The increase in the unrealized gain, net of tax, was primarily driven by lower market interest rates.

Capital adequacy

Regulators establish certain levels of capital for bank holding companies (“BHCs”) and banks, including BNY Mellon and our bank subsidiaries, in accordance with established quantitative measurements. For the Parent to maintain its status as a financial holding company, our U.S. bank subsidiaries and BNY Mellon must, among other things, qualify as “well
 
capitalized.” As of June 30, 2019 and Dec. 31, 2018, BNY Mellon and our U.S. bank subsidiaries were “well capitalized.”

Failure to satisfy regulatory standards, including “well capitalized” status or capital adequacy rules more generally, could result in limitations on our activities and adversely affect our financial condition. See the discussion of these matters in “Supervision and Regulation - Regulated Entities of BNY Mellon and Ancillary Regulatory Requirements” and “Risk Factors - Operational Risk - Failure to satisfy regulatory standards, including “well capitalized” and “well managed” status or capital adequacy and liquidity rules more generally, could result in limitations on our activities and adversely affect our business and financial condition,” both in our 2018 Annual Report.

The U.S. banking agencies’ capital rules are based on the framework adopted by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, as amended from time to time. For additional information on these capital requirements, see “Supervision and Regulation” in our 2018 Annual Report. BNY Mellon is subject to the U.S. capital rules, which were gradually phased-in over a multi-year period through Jan. 1, 2019. The phase-in requirements for consolidated capital were completed on Jan. 1, 2018.

(a)
Minimum requirements for June 30, 2019 include minimum thresholds plus currently applicable buffers.
(b)
For our CET1, Tier 1 capital and Total capital ratios, our effective capital ratios under U.S. capital rules are the lower of the ratios as calculated under the Standardized and Advanced Approaches. The Tier 1 leverage ratio is based on Tier 1 capital and quarterly average total assets. The fully phased-in U.S. G-SIB surcharge of 1.5% is subject to change. The countercyclical capital buffer is currently set to 0%.
(c)
The Federal Reserve’s regulations do not establish well capitalized thresholds for these measures for BHCs.
(d)
The SLR is based on Tier 1 capital and total leverage exposure, which includes certain off-balance sheet exposures.


Our CET1 ratio determined under the Advanced Approach was 11.1% at June 30, 2019 and 10.7% at Dec. 31, 2018. The ratio increased compared with Dec. 31, 2018, primarily reflecting capital generated through earnings, the unrealized gain in our investment securities portfolio and additional paid-in capital resulting from stock awards, partially offset by capital deployed through common stock repurchases, dividend payments and higher RWAs.

Our SLR was 6.3% at June 30, 2019 and 6.0% at Dec. 31, 2018.

The Advanced Approach capital ratios are significantly impacted by RWAs for operational risk. Our operational loss risk model is informed by external losses, including fines and penalties levied
 
against institutions in the financial services industry, particularly those that relate to businesses in which we operate, and as a result external losses have impacted and could in the future impact the amount of capital that we are required to hold.

Our capital ratios are necessarily subject to, among other things, anticipated compliance with all necessary enhancements to model calibration, approval by regulators of certain models used as part of RWA calculations, other refinements, further implementation guidance from regulators, market practices and standards and any changes BNY Mellon may make to its businesses. As a consequence of these factors, our capital ratios may materially change, and may be volatile over time and from period to period.

Capital ratios vary depending on the size of the balance sheet at period end and the levels and types of investments in assets. The balance sheet size fluctuates from period to period based on levels of customer and market activity. In general, when servicing clients are more actively trading securities, deposit balances and the balance sheet as a whole are higher. In addition, when markets experience significant volatility or stress, our balance sheet size may increase considerably as client deposit levels increase.

Total Loss-Absorbing Capacity (“TLAC”)

The final TLAC rule establishing external TLAC, external long-term debt (“LTD”) and related requirements for U.S. G-SIBs, including BNY Mellon, at the top-tier holding company level became effective on Jan. 1, 2019.

The following summarizes the minimum requirements for BNY Mellon’s external TLAC and external LTD ratios, plus currently applicable buffers.

 
As a % of RWAs (a)
As a % of total leverage exposure
Eligible external TLAC ratios
Regulatory minimum of 18% plus a buffer (b) equal to the sum of 2.5%, the method 1 G-SIB surcharge (currently 1%), and the countercyclical capital buffer, if any
Regulatory minimum of 7.5% plus a buffer (c) equal to 2%
Eligible external LTD ratios
Regulatory minimum of 6% plus the greater of the method 1 or method 2 G-SIB surcharge (currently 1.5%)
4.5%
(a)    RWA is the greater of Standardized and Advanced Approaches.
(b)    Buffer to be met using only CET1.
(c)
Buffer to be met using only Tier 1 capital.


External TLAC consists of the Parent’s Tier 1 capital and eligible unsecured long-term debt issued by it that has a remaining term to maturity of at least one year and satisfies certain other conditions. Eligible long-term debt consists of the unpaid principal balance of eligible unsecured debt securities, subject to haircuts for amounts due to be paid within two years, and satisfy certain other conditions. Debt issued prior to Dec. 31, 2016 has been permanently grandfathered to the extent these instruments otherwise would be ineligible only due to containing
 
impermissible acceleration rights or being governed by foreign law.

The following table presents our external TLAC and external LTD ratios.

If BNY Mellon maintains risk-based ratio or leverage TLAC measures above the minimum required level, but with a risk-based ratio or leverage below the minimum level with buffers, we will face constraints on dividends, equity repurchases and discretionary executive compensation based on the amount of the shortfall.

Trading activities and risk management

Our trading activities are focused on acting as a market-maker for our customers, facilitating customer trades and risk mitigating hedging in compliance with the Volcker Rule. The risk from market-making activities for customers is managed by our traders and limited in total exposure through a system of position limits, value-at-risk (“VaR”) methodology and other market sensitivity measures. VaR is the potential loss in value due to adverse market movements over a defined time horizon with a specified confidence level. The calculation of our VaR used by management and presented below assumes a one-day holding period, utilizes a 99% confidence level and incorporates non-linear product characteristics. VaR facilitates comparisons across portfolios of different risk characteristics. VaR also captures the diversification of aggregated risk at the firm-wide level.



36 BNY Mellon


VaR represents a key risk management measure and it is important to note the inherent limitations to VaR, which include:
VaR does not estimate potential losses over longer time horizons where moves may be extreme;
VaR does not take account of potential variability of market liquidity; and
Previous moves in market risk factors may not produce accurate predictions of all future market moves.

See Note 18 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on the VaR methodology.

The following tables indicate the calculated VaR amounts for the trading portfolio for the designated periods using the historical simulation VaR model.

N/M - Because the minimum and maximum may occur on different days for different risk components, it is not meaningful to compute a minimum and maximum portfolio diversification effect.


The interest rate component of VaR represents instruments whose values predominantly vary with the level or volatility of interest rates. These instruments include, but are not limited to, sovereign debt, swaps, swaptions, forward rate agreements, exchange-traded futures and options, and other interest rate derivative products.

The foreign exchange component of VaR represents instruments whose values predominantly vary with the level or volatility of currency exchange rates or interest rates. These instruments include, but are not limited to, currency balances, spot and forward transactions, currency options, exchange-traded futures and options, and other currency derivative products.

The equity component of VaR consists of instruments that represent an ownership interest in the form of domestic and foreign common stock or other equity-linked instruments. These instruments include, but are not limited to, common stock, exchange-traded funds, preferred stock, listed equity options (puts and calls), OTC equity options, equity total return swaps, equity index futures and other equity derivative products.

The credit component of VaR represents instruments whose values predominantly vary with the creditworthiness of counterparties. These instruments include, but are not limited to, credit derivatives (credit default swaps and exchange-traded credit index instruments), exposures from corporate credit spreads and mortgage prepayments. Credit derivatives are used to hedge various credit exposures.



BNY Mellon 37


The diversification component of VaR is the risk reduction benefit that occurs when combining portfolios and offsetting positions, and from the correlated behavior of risk factor movements.

During the second quarter of 2019, interest rate risk generated 50% of average gross VaR, foreign exchange risk generated 32% of average gross VaR, equity risk generated 9% of average gross VaR and credit risk generated 9% of average gross VaR. During the second quarter of 2019, our daily trading loss did not exceed our calculated VaR amount of the overall portfolio.

Trading revenue (loss) includes realized and unrealized gains and losses primarily related to spot and forward foreign exchange transactions, derivatives and securities trades for our customers and excludes any associated commissions, underwriting fees and net interest revenue.


Trading assets include debt and equity instruments and derivative assets, primarily interest rate and foreign exchange contracts, not designated as hedging instruments. Trading assets were $8.6 billion at June 30, 2019 and $7.0 billion at Dec. 31, 2018.

Trading liabilities include debt and equity instruments and derivative liabilities, primarily interest rate and foreign exchange contracts, not designated as hedging instruments. Trading liabilities were $3.8 billion at June 30, 2019 and $3.5 billion at Dec. 31, 2018.

Under our fair value methodology for derivative contracts, an initial “risk-neutral” valuation is performed on each position assuming time-discounting based on a AA credit curve. In addition, we consider credit risk in arriving at the fair value of our derivatives.
 
We reflect external credit ratings as well as observable credit default swap spreads for both ourselves and our counterparties when measuring the fair value of our derivative positions. Accordingly, the valuation of our derivative positions is sensitive to the current changes in our own credit spreads, as well as those of our counterparties.

At June 30, 2019, our OTC derivative assets, including those in hedging relationships, of $3.0 billion included a credit valuation adjustment (“CVA”) deduction of $26 million. Our OTC derivative liabilities, including those in hedging relationships, of $2.6 billion included a debit valuation adjustment (“DVA”) of $1 million related to our own credit spread. Net of hedges, the CVA decreased by $1 million and the DVA was unchanged in the second quarter of 2019, which increased foreign exchange and other trading revenue by $1 million. The net impact of these adjustments increased foreign exchange and other trading revenue by less than $1 million in the first quarter of 2019 and $2 million in the second quarter of 2018.

The table below summarizes the risk ratings for our foreign exchange and interest rate derivative counterparty credit exposure during the past five quarters. This information indicates the degree of risk to which we are exposed. Significant changes in ratings classifications for our foreign exchange and other trading activity could result in increased risk for us.

Asset/liability management

Our diversified business activities include processing securities, accepting deposits, investing in securities, lending, raising money as needed to fund assets and other transactions. The market risks from these activities include interest rate risk and foreign exchange risk. Our primary market risk is exposure to movements in U.S. dollar interest rates and certain foreign currency interest rates. We actively manage interest rate sensitivity and use earnings simulation and discounted cash flow models to identify interest rate exposures.

An earnings simulation model is the primary tool used to assess changes in pre-tax net interest revenue. The model incorporates management’s assumptions regarding interest rates, market spreads, changes in the prepayment behavior of loans and securities and the impact of derivative financial instruments used for interest rate risk management purposes. These assumptions have been developed through a combination of historical analysis and future expected pricing behavior and are inherently uncertain. Actual results may differ materially from projected results due to timing, magnitude and frequency of interest rate changes, and changes in market conditions and management’s strategies, among other factors.

In the table below, we use the earnings simulation model to run various interest rate ramp scenarios from a baseline scenario. The interest rate ramp scenarios examine the impact of large interest rate movements. In each scenario, all currencies’ interest rates are shifted higher or lower. The baseline scenario is based on our quarter-end balance sheet and the spot yield curve. The 100 basis point ramp scenario assumes rates change 25 basis points above or below the yield curve in each of the next four quarters and the 200 basis point ramp scenario assumes a 50 basis point per quarter change. Interest rate sensitivity is quantified by calculating the change in pre-tax net interest revenue between the scenarios over a 12-month measurement period. The net interest revenue sensitivity methodology assumes static deposit levels and also assumes that no management actions will be taken to mitigate the effects of interest rate changes.

 
The following table shows net interest revenue sensitivity for BNY Mellon.

To illustrate the net interest revenue sensitivity to deposit runoff, we note that a $5 billion instantaneous reduction of U.S. dollar denominated noninterest-bearing deposits would reduce the net interest revenue sensitivity results in the ramp up 100 basis point and 200 basis point scenarios in the table above by approximately $150 million and approximately $180 million, respectively. The impact would be smaller if the runoff was assumed to be a mixture of interest-bearing and noninterest-bearing deposits.

For a discussion of factors impacting the growth or contraction of deposits, see “Risk Factors - Our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected if we do not effectively manage our liquidity,” in our 2018 Annual Report.

Off-balance sheet arrangements

Off-balance sheet arrangements discussed in this section are limited to guarantees, retained or contingent interests and obligations arising out of unconsolidated variable interest entities (“VIEs”). For BNY Mellon, these items include certain guarantees. Guarantees include SBLCs issued as part of our corporate banking business and securities lending indemnifications issued as part of our Investment Services business. See Note 19 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a further discussion of our off-balance sheet arrangements.

Supplemental information - Explanation of GAAP and Non-GAAP financial measures

BNY Mellon has included in this Form 10-Q certain Non-GAAP financial measures on a tangible basis as a supplement to generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) information, which exclude goodwill and intangible assets, net of deferred tax liabilities. BNY Mellon believes that the return on tangible common equity 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 is additional useful information because it presents the level of tangible assets in relation to shares of common stock outstanding.

The presentation of the growth rates of investment management and performance fees on a constant
 
currency basis permits investors to assess the significance of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Growth rates on a constant currency basis were determined by applying the current period foreign currency exchange rates to the prior period revenue. BNY Mellon believes that this presentation, as a supplement to GAAP information, gives investors a clearer picture of the related revenue results without the variability caused by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.

BNY Mellon has also included the operating margin for the Investment Management business net of distribution and servicing expense that was passed to third parties who distribute or service our managed funds. BNY Mellon believes that this measure is useful when evaluating the performance of the Investment Management business relative to industry competitors.

Recent accounting and regulatory developments

Recently issued accounting standards

The following Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) has not yet been adopted.

ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments

In June 2016, the FASB issued an ASU, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This ASU introduces a new current expected credit losses model, which will apply to financial assets subject to credit losses and measured at amortized cost, including held-to-maturity securities and certain off-balance sheet credit exposures. The guidance will also change current practice for the impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities. The available-for-sale debt securities model will require the use of an allowance to record estimated credit losses and subsequent recoveries.

The standard requires a cumulative effect of initial application to be recognized in retained earnings at the date of initial application. BNY Mellon has developed expected credit loss models and approaches that include forecasting and other methodologies, and our focus for the remainder of 2019 is on model validation as well as business process refinements and testing to ensure the expected credit losses are calculated in accordance with the standard. We are continuing to assess the impact of the standard on our consolidated financial statements, disclosures and internal controls. The adoption impact will depend on several factors, including the composition and remaining expected lives of financial instruments at the time of adoption, the establishment of an allowance for expected credit losses on held-to-maturity securities, and the macroeconomic conditions and forecasts that exist at that date. We plan to adopt the new standard on Jan. 1, 2020.

Recent regulatory developments

For a summary of additional regulatory matters relevant to our operations, see “Supervision and Regulation” in our 2018 Annual Report. The following discussions summarize certain regulatory
 
developments that may affect BNY Mellon, the impact of which we are still evaluating.

Proposed Revisions to Resolution Planning Requirements

In April 2019, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) issued a proposed rule to modify certain resolution plan requirements. The proposal would allow U.S. G-SIBs, such as BNY Mellon, to file alternating full and, more limited, targeted resolution plans every two years. The proposal would not generally modify the components or informational requirements of full resolution plans. See “Supervision and Regulation - Recovery and Resolution” in our 2018 Annual Report for additional information.

EU Banking Reform Package

The EU Banking Reform Package entered into force on June 27, 2019 and will be implemented in various phases between 2019 and 2024. This legislative package amends the Capital Requirements Directive IV (“CRD IV”), the Capital Requirements Regulation (“CRR”), the Bank Recovery and Resolution Directive (“BRRD”) and the Single Resolution Mechanism Regulation (“SRMR”).

The amendments to CRD IV include a requirement for certain non-EU banking groups to have up to two “EU intermediate parent undertakings” (“EU IPUs “). All EU credit institutions and certain EU investment firms in such non-EU banking groups would need to fall within a corporate structure headed by one of the EU IPUs. BNY Mellon is assessing the impact of this requirement in conjunction with the proposed legislation introducing a new prudential regime for investment firms.

The amendments to CRR include provisions relating to the leverage ratio, net stable funding ratio (“NSFR”), minimum requirement for own funds and eligible liabilities (including closer alignment to the final Financial Stability Board TLAC standard), a revised Basel market risk framework, counterparty credit risk, exposures to CCPs, exposures to collective investment undertakings, large exposures and reporting/disclosure requirements.

The extent to which the UK implements the EU Banking Reform Package depends on Brexit outcomes.

Replacement of Interbank Offered Rates (“IBORs”), including LIBOR
Globally, financial market participants are beginning the transition away from LIBOR and other IBORs to alternative reference rates by the end of 2021. This transition will impact assets and liabilities on our balance sheet that reference IBORs, investments that we manage linked to IBORs in our Investment Management business and the operational servicing of products that reference IBORs in our Investment Services business.

We are working to facilitate an orderly transition from IBORs to alternative reference rates for us and our clients. Accordingly, we have created a global transition program with senior management oversight that focuses on:
Evaluating and monitoring the impacts across our businesses, including transactions, products and services.
Identifying and evaluating the scope of existing financial instruments and contracts that may be affected, the extent to which those financial instruments and contracts already contain appropriate fallback language or would require termination or amendment and any resulting economic and regulatory impact.
Identifying and evaluating the impact of the transition on our balance sheet, net interest revenue, capital and hedging activities as well as interest rate risk and liquidity risk.
Identifying and evaluating contracts and financial instruments that require us, as the lender, calculation agent or otherwise, to assign the fallback or successor rate to IBOR-linked products.
Identifying funds we manage or advise that invest in instruments referencing IBORs and the impact of the transition on the functioning, liquidity and value of these investments.
Implementing information technology systems, models and analytics to prepare for a smooth transition to alternative reference rates.

There remain, however, a number of unknown factors regarding the transition from the IBORs and/or interest rate benchmark reforms that could impact our business. For a further discussion of the various risks, see “Risk Factors - Transitions away from, or changes in the calculation of, LIBOR and other
 
benchmark rates could adversely impact our business and results of operations” in our 2018 Annual Report.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
 


Note 1–Basis of presentation

In this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, references to “our,” “we,” “us,” “BNY Mellon,” the “Company” and similar terms refer to The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries. The term “Parent” refers to The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation but not its subsidiaries.

Basis of presentation

The accounting and financial reporting policies of BNY Mellon, a global financial services company, conform to U.S. GAAP and prevailing industry practices. For information on our significant accounting and reporting policies, see Note 1 in our 2018 Annual Report.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented have been made. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with our 2018 Annual Report. Certain immaterial reclassifications have been made to prior periods to place them on a basis comparable with the current period presentation.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates based upon assumptions about future economic and market conditions which affect reported amounts and related disclosures in our financial statements. Although our current estimates contemplate current conditions and how we expect them to change in the future, it is reasonably possible that actual conditions could be worse than anticipated in those estimates, which could materially affect our results of operations and financial condition. Amounts subject to estimates are items such as allowance for loan losses and lending-related commitments, fair value of financial instruments and derivatives, goodwill and other intangibles and litigation and regulatory contingencies. Among other effects, such changes in estimates could result in future impairments of goodwill and intangible assets and establishment of allowances for loan losses and lending-related commitments as well as accruals for litigation and regulatory contingencies.

 
Note 2–Accounting changes and new accounting guidance

The following accounting changes and new accounting guidance were adopted in the first quarter of 2019.

ASU 2016-02, Leases

In February 2016, the FASB issued an ASU, Leases. The primary objective of this ASU is to increase transparency and comparability by recognizing lease assets and liabilities on the balance sheet and expand related disclosures. This ASU requires a “right-of-use” asset and a payment obligation liability on the balance sheet for most leases and subleases. Additionally, depending on the lease classification under the standard, it may result in different expense recognition patterns and classification than under existing accounting principles. For leases classified as finance leases, it will result in higher expense recognition in the earlier periods and lower expense in the later periods of the lease.

The Company adopted this guidance on Jan. 1, 2019 using the alternative transition method on a prospective basis and recognized right-of-use assets of $1.3 billion and lease liabilities of $1.5 billion on the consolidated balance sheet, both based on the present value of the expected remaining lease payments. See Note 6 for the disclosures required by this ASU.

ASU 2018-02, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income: Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income

In February 2018, the FASB issued an ASU, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income: Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. This ASU permits a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for the tax effects of items within accumulated other comprehensive income that do not reflect the lower statutory tax rate which was enacted by the 2017 U.S. tax legislation. BNY Mellon adopted this guidance in the first quarter of 2019, which resulted in a $90 million reclassification that decreased accumulated other comprehensive income and increased retained earnings.


52 BNY Mellon

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
 

Note 3–Acquisitions and dispositions

We sometimes structure our acquisitions with both an initial payment and later contingent payments tied to post-closing revenue or income growth. Contingent payments were $2 million in the second quarter of 2019 and the first six months of 2019.

At June 30, 2019, we are potentially obligated to pay additional consideration which, using reasonable assumptions, could range from $4 million to $17 million over the next three years, but could be higher as certain of the arrangements do not contain a contractual maximum.

The transactions described below did not have a material impact on BNY Mellon’s results of operations.

Transactions in 2018

On Jan. 2, 2018, BNY Mellon completed the sale of CenterSquare, one of our Investment Management boutiques, and recorded a gain on this transaction. CenterSquare had approximately $10 billion in AUM in U.S. and global real estate and infrastructure investments. In addition, goodwill of $52 million was removed from the consolidated balance sheet as a result of this sale.

On June 29, 2018, BNY Mellon completed the exchange of its majority equity interest in Amherst Capital Management LLC for a minority equity stake in Amherst Holdings LLC. Goodwill of $13 million was removed from the consolidated balance sheet and a gain was recorded as a result of this sale.

Note 4–Securities

Temporarily impaired securities

At June 30, 2019, the gross unrealized losses on the securities portfolio were primarily attributable to an increase in interest rates from the date of purchase, and for certain securities that were transferred from available-for-sale to held-to-maturity, an increase in interest rates through the date they were transferred. Specifically, $76 million of the unrealized losses at June 30, 2019 and $87 million at Dec. 31, 2018 reflected in the available-for-sale sections of the tables below relate to certain securities (primarily Agency RMBS) that were transferred in prior periods from available-for-sale to held-to-maturity. The unrealized losses will be amortized into net interest revenue over the contractual lives of the securities. The transfer created a new cost basis for the securities. As a result, if these securities have experienced unrealized losses since the date of transfer, the corresponding fair value and unrealized losses would be reflected in the held-to-maturity sections of the following tables. We do not intend to sell these securities, and it is not more likely than not that we will have to sell these securities.

Other-than-temporary impairment

For each security in the securities portfolio, a quarterly review is conducted to determine if an OTTI has occurred. See Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2018 Annual Report for a discussion of the determination of OTTI.

The following table reflects securities credit losses recorded in earnings. The beginning balance represents the credit loss component for which OTTI occurred on debt securities in prior periods. The additions represent the first time a debt security was credit impaired or when subsequent credit impairments have occurred. The deductions represent credit losses on securities that have been sold, are required to be sold, or for which it is our intention to sell.

Pledged assets

At June 30, 2019, BNY Mellon had pledged assets of $117 billion, including $90 billion pledged as collateral for potential borrowings at the Federal Reserve Discount Window and $7 billion pledged as collateral for borrowing at the FHLB. The components of the assets pledged at June 30, 2019 included $98 billion of securities, $14 billion of loans, $5 billion of trading assets and less than $1 billion of interest-bearing deposits with banks.

If there has been no borrowing at the Federal Reserve Discount Window, the Federal Reserve generally allows banks to freely move assets in and out of their pledged assets account to sell or repledge the assets
 
for other purposes. BNY Mellon regularly moves assets in and out of its pledged assets account at the Federal Reserve.

At Dec. 31, 2018, BNY Mellon had pledged assets of $120 billion, including $96 billion pledged as collateral for potential borrowing at the Federal Reserve Discount Window and $7 billion pledged as collateral for borrowing at the FHLB. The components of the assets pledged at Dec. 31, 2018 included $100 billion of securities, $15 billion of loans, $4 billion of trading assets and $1 billion of interest-bearing deposits with banks.

At June 30, 2019 and Dec. 31, 2018, pledged assets included $19 billion and $13 billion, respectively, for which the recipients were permitted to sell or repledge the assets delivered.

We also obtain securities as collateral, including receipts under resale agreements, securities borrowed, derivative contracts and custody agreements on terms which permit us to sell or repledge the securities to others. At June 30, 2019 and Dec. 31, 2018, the market value of the securities received that can be sold or repledged was $164 billion and $151 billion, respectively. We routinely sell or repledge these securities through delivery to third parties. As of June 30, 2019 and Dec. 31, 2018, the market value of securities collateral sold or repledged was $101 billion and $101 billion, respectively.

Restricted cash and securities

Cash and securities may be segregated under federal and other regulations or requirements. At June 30, 2019 and Dec. 31, 2018, cash segregated under federal and other regulations or requirements was $2 billion and $2 billion, respectively. Restricted cash is included in interest-bearing deposits with banks on the consolidated balance sheet. Securities segregated for these purposes were $2 billion at June 30, 2019 and $2 billion at Dec. 31, 2018. Restricted securities were sourced from securities purchased under resale agreements and are included in federal funds sold and securities purchased under resale agreements on the consolidated balance sheet.

At June 30, 2019, undrawn commitments to borrowers whose loans were classified as nonaccrual or reduced rate were not material.
 
Lost interest

Interest revenue would have increased by $4 million in the second quarter of 2019, $2 million in the first quarter of 2019, $1 million in the second quarter of 2018, $7 million in the first six months of 2019 and $2 million in the first six months of 2018 if nonperforming loans at period-end had been performing for the entire respective period.

Troubled debt restructurings

A modified loan is considered a TDR if the debtor is experiencing financial difficulties and the creditor grants a concession to the debtor that would not otherwise be considered. We modified loans of less than $1 million in the second quarter of 2019, $1 million in the second quarter of 2018 and less than $1 million in the first quarter of 2019. The loans were primarily other residential mortgages.
 
Credit quality indicators

Our credit strategy is to focus on investment-grade clients that are active users of our non-credit services. Each customer is assigned an internal credit rating, which is mapped to an external rating agency grade equivalent, if possible, based upon a number of dimensions, which are continually evaluated and may change over time.

The following tables present information about credit quality indicators.

The commercial loan portfolio is divided into investment grade and non-investment grade categories based on the assigned internal credit ratings, which are generally consistent with those of the public rating agencies. Customers with ratings consistent with BBB- (S&P)/Baa3 (Moody’s) or better are considered to be investment grade. Those clients with ratings lower than this threshold are considered to be non-investment grade.

Wealth management non-mortgage loans are not typically rated by external rating agencies. A majority of the wealth management loans are secured by the customers’ investment management accounts or custody accounts. Eligible assets pledged for these loans are typically investment grade fixed-income securities, equities and/or mutual funds. Internal ratings for this portion of the wealth management portfolio, therefore, would equate to investment-grade external ratings. Wealth management loans are provided to select customers based on the pledge of other types of assets, including business assets, fixed assets or a modest amount of commercial real estate. For the loans collateralized by other assets, the credit quality of the obligor is carefully analyzed, but we do not consider this portfolio of loans to be investment grade.

Credit quality indicators for wealth management mortgages are not correlated to external ratings. Wealth management mortgages are typically loans to high-net-worth individuals, which are secured primarily by residential property. These loans are primarily interest-only, adjustable rate mortgages with a weighted-average loan-to-value ratio of 62% at origination. In the wealth management portfolio, less than 1% of the mortgages were past due at June 30, 2019.
 
At June 30, 2019, the wealth management mortgage portfolio consisted of the following geographic concentrations: California - 23%; New York - 18%; Massachusetts - 10%; Florida - 8%; and other - 41%.

Other residential mortgages

The other residential mortgage portfolio primarily consists of 1-4 family residential mortgage loans and totaled $549 million at June 30, 2019 and $594 million at Dec. 31, 2018. These loans are not typically correlated to external ratings. Included in this portfolio at June 30, 2019 were $111 million of mortgage loans purchased in 2005, 2006 and the first quarter of 2007, of which, 10% of the serviced loan balance was at least 60 days delinquent.

Overdrafts

Overdrafts primarily relate to custody and securities clearance clients and totaled $4.7 billion at June 30, 2019 and $5.5 billion at Dec. 31, 2018. Overdrafts occur on a daily basis primarily in the custody and securities clearance business and are generally repaid within two business days.

Other loans

Other loans primarily include loans to consumers that are fully collateralized with equities, mutual funds and fixed-income securities.

Margin loans

We had $10.6 billion of secured margin loans on our consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2019 compared with $13.5 billion at Dec. 31, 2018. Margin loans are collateralized with marketable securities, and borrowers are required to maintain a daily collateral margin in excess of 100% of the value of the loan. We have rarely suffered a loss on these types of loans and do not allocate any of our allowance for credit losses to margin loans.

Reverse repurchase agreements

Reverse repurchase agreements are transactions fully collateralized with high-quality liquid securities. These transactions carry minimal credit risk and therefore are not allocated an allowance for credit losses.

Note 6–Leasing

Significant accounting policy

We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Right-of-use (“ROU”) assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments. The ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. We use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date of the lease in determining the present value of lease payments. In addition to the lease payments, the determination of an ROU asset may also include certain adjustments related to lease incentives and initial direct costs incurred. Options to extend or terminate a lease are included in the determination of the ROU asset and lease liability only when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option.

Lease expense for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term, while the lease expense for finance leases is recognized using the effective interest method. ROU assets are reviewed for impairment when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. For operating leases, if deemed impaired, the ROU asset is written down and the remaining balance is subsequently amortized on a straight-line basis which results in lease expense recognition that is similar to finance leases.

We have elected to account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component and exclude the non-lease variable components. Additionally, for certain equipment leases, we apply a portfolio approach to account for the operating lease ROU assets and liabilities.

BNY Mellon engages in subleasing activities and reports the rental income as part of net occupancy expense, as this activity is not a significant business activity and is part of the Company’s customary business practice.

BNY Mellon engages in leverage lease transactions that were entered into prior to Dec. 31, 2018. These leases are grandfathered under the new standard and will continue to be accounted for under the prior guidance unless subsequently modified.
 
Leases

We have operating and finance leases for corporate offices, data centers and certain equipment. Our leases have remaining lease terms of one year to 20 years, some of which include options to extend or terminate the lease. In some of our corporate office locations, we may enter into sublease arrangements for portions or all of the space and/or lease term.

Impairment testing

The goodwill impairment test is performed at least annually at the reporting unit level. Intangible assets
 
not subject to amortization are tested for impairment annually or more often if events or circumstances indicate they may be impaired.

BNY Mellon’s three business segments include seven reporting units for which goodwill impairment testing is performed on an annual basis. The Investment Services segment is comprised of four reporting units; the Investment Management segment is comprised of two reporting units and one reporting unit is included in the Other segment. As a result of the annual goodwill impairment test of the seven reporting units conducted in the second quarter of 2019, no goodwill impairment was recognized.

Non-readily marketable equity securities

Non-readily marketable equity securities do not have readily determinable fair values. These investments are valued using a measurement alternative where the investments are carried at cost, less any impairment, and plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for an identical or similar investment of the same issuer. The observable price changes are recorded in investment and other income on the consolidated income statement. Our non-readily marketable equity securities totaled $61 million at June 30, 2019 and $55 million at Dec. 31, 2018 and are included in equity in a joint venture and other investments in the table above.

Investments valued using net asset value per share

In our Investment Management business, we manage investment assets, including equities, fixed income, money market and multi-asset and alternative investment funds for institutions and other investors. As part of that activity, we make seed capital investments in certain funds. We also hold private equity investments, specifically small business investment companies (“SBICs”), which are compliant with the Volcker Rule, and certain other corporate investments. Seed capital, private equity

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
 

Contract balances

Our clients are billed based on fee schedules that are agreed upon in each customer contract. Receivables from customers were $2.4 billion at June 30, 2019 and $2.5 billion at Dec. 31, 2018. An allowance is maintained for accounts receivable which is generally based on the number of days outstanding. Adjustments to the allowance are recorded in other expense on the consolidated income statement. We recorded a provision of $2 million in the second quarter of 2019, $4 million in the second quarter of 2018, $4 million in the first quarter of 2019, $6 million in the first six months of 2019 and $6 million in the first six months of 2018.

Contract assets represent accrued revenues that have not yet been billed to the customers due to certain contractual terms other than the passage of time and were $74 million at June 30, 2019 and $36 million at Dec. 31, 2018. Accrued revenues recorded as contract assets are usually billed on an annual basis. There were no impairments recorded on contract assets in the second quarter of 2019 or first six months of 2019.

Both receivables from customers and contract assets are included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheet.

Contract liabilities represent payments received in advance of providing services under certain contracts and were $198 million at June 30, 2019 and $171 million at Dec. 31, 2018. Contract liabilities are included in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. Revenue recognized in the second quarter of 2019 relating to contract liabilities as of March 31, 2019 was $59 million. Revenue recognized in the first six months of 2019 relating to contract liabilities as of Dec. 31, 2018 was $75 million.

Changes in contract assets and liabilities primarily relate to either party’s performance under the contracts.

Contract costs

Incremental costs for obtaining contracts that are deemed recoverable are capitalized as contract costs.
 
Such costs result from the payment of sales incentives, primarily in the Wealth Management business, and totaled $99 million at June 30, 2019 and $98 million at Dec. 31, 2018. Capitalized sales incentives are amortized based on the transfer of goods or services to which the assets relate and typically average nine years. The amortization of capitalized sales incentives, which is primarily included in staff expense on the consolidated income statement, totaled $5 million in the second quarter of 2019, $6 million in the second quarter of 2018, $5 million in the first quarter of 2019, $10 million in the first six months of 2019 and $11 million in the first six months of 2018.

Costs to fulfill a contract are capitalized when they relate directly to an existing contract or a specific anticipated contract, generate or enhance resources that will be used to fulfill performance obligations and are recoverable. Such costs generally represent set-up costs, which include any direct cost incurred at the inception of a contract which enables the fulfillment of the performance obligation and totaled $18 million at June 30, 2019 and $20 million at Dec. 31, 2018. These capitalized costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the expected contract period which generally range from seven to nine years. The amortization is included in other expense on the consolidated income statement and totaled $2 million in the second quarter of 2019, $2 million in the second quarter of 2018, $1 million in the first quarter of 2019, $3 million in the first six months of 2019 and $3 million in the first six months of 2018.

There were no impairments recorded on capitalized contract costs in the second quarter of 2019 or first six months of 2019.

Unsatisfied performance obligations

We do not have any unsatisfied performance obligations other than those that are subject to a practical expedient election under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue From Contracts With Customers. The practical expedient election applies to (i) contracts with an original expected length of one year or less, and (ii) contracts for which we recognize revenue at the amount to which we have the right to invoice for services performed.

Note 12–Income taxes

BNY Mellon recorded an income tax provision of $264 million (20.5% effective tax rate) in the second quarter of 2019, $286 million (20.5% effective tax rate) in the second quarter of 2018 and $237 million (19.9% effective tax rate) in the first quarter of 2019.

Our total tax reserves as of June 30, 2019 were $135 million compared with $105 million at March 31, 2019. If these tax reserves were unnecessary, $135 million would affect the effective tax rate in future periods. We recognize accrued interest and penalties, if applicable, related to income taxes in the provision for income taxes on the consolidated income statement. Included in the balance sheet at June 30, 2019 is accrued interest, where applicable, of $24 million. The additional tax expense related to interest for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was $6 million, compared with $2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018.

It is reasonably possible the total reserve for uncertain tax positions could decrease within the next 12 months by approximately $56 million as a result of adjustments related to tax years that are still subject to examination.

Our federal income tax returns are closed to examination through 2013. Our New York State, New York City and UK income tax returns are closed to examination through 2012.

 
Note 13–Variable interest entities and securitization

BNY Mellon has variable interests in VIEs, which include investments in retail, institutional and alternative investment funds, including collateralized loan obligation (“CLO”) structures in which we provide asset management services, some of which are consolidated. The investment funds are offered to our retail and institutional clients to provide them with access to investment vehicles with specific investment objectives and strategies that address the client’s investment needs.

BNY Mellon earns management fees from these funds as well as performance fees in certain funds and may also provide start-up capital for its new funds. The funds are primarily financed by our customers’ investments in the funds’ equity or debt.

Additionally, BNY Mellon invests in qualified affordable housing and renewable energy projects, which are designed to generate a return primarily through the realization of tax credits by the Company. The projects, which are structured as limited partnerships and LLCs, are also VIEs, but are not consolidated.

The following table presents the incremental assets and liabilities included in BNY Mellon’s consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2019 and Dec. 31, 2018. The net assets of any consolidated VIE are solely available to settle the liabilities of the VIE and to settle any investors’ ownership liquidation requests, including any seed capital invested in the VIE by BNY Mellon.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
 

Note 16–Fair value measurement

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements is utilized based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. BNY Mellon’s own creditworthiness is considered when valuing liabilities. See Note 19 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2018 Annual Report for
 
information on how we determine fair value and the fair value hierarchy.

The following tables present the financial instruments carried at fair value at June 30, 2019 and Dec. 31, 2018, by caption on the consolidated balance sheet and by the three-level valuation hierarchy. We have included credit ratings information in certain of the tables because the information indicates the degree of credit risk to which we are exposed, and significant changes in ratings classifications could result in increased risk for us.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis

Under certain circumstances, we make adjustments to the fair value of our assets, liabilities and unfunded lending-related commitments although they are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis. Examples would be the recording of an impairment of an asset and non-readily marketable equity securities
 
carried at cost with upward or downward adjustments.

The following table presents the financial instruments carried on the consolidated balance sheet by caption and level in the fair value hierarchy as of June 30, 2019 and Dec. 31, 2018, for which a nonrecurring change in fair value has been recorded in the respective year.

BNY Mellon values the assets and liabilities of its consolidated investment management funds using quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets or observable inputs such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities. Quoted prices for either identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets may also be used. Accordingly, fair value best reflects the interests BNY Mellon holds in the economic performance of the consolidated investment management funds. Changes in the value of the assets and liabilities are recorded in the consolidated income statement as investment income of consolidated investment management funds and in the interest of investment management fund note holders, respectively.
 
We have elected the fair value option on $240 million of long-term debt. The fair value of this long-term debt was $383 million at June 30, 2019 and $371 million at Dec. 31, 2018. The long-term debt is valued using observable market inputs and is included in Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.

The following table presents the changes in fair value of long-term debt recorded in foreign exchange and other trading revenue in the consolidated income statement.

Note 18–Derivative instruments

We use derivatives to manage exposure to market risk, including interest rate risk, equity price risk and foreign currency risk, as well as credit risk. Our trading activities are focused on acting as a market-maker for our customers and facilitating customer trades in compliance with the Volcker Rule.

The notional amounts for derivative financial instruments express the dollar volume of the transactions; however, credit risk is much smaller. We perform credit reviews and enter into netting agreements and collateral arrangements to minimize the credit risk of derivative financial instruments. We enter into offsetting positions to reduce exposure to foreign currency, interest rate and equity price risk.


82 BNY Mellon

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
 

Use of derivative financial instruments involves reliance on counterparties. Failure of a counterparty to honor its obligation under a derivative contract is a risk we assume whenever we engage in a derivative contract. There were no counterparty default losses recorded in the second quarter of 2019.

Hedging derivatives

We utilize interest rate swap agreements to manage our exposure to interest rate fluctuations. We enter into fair value hedges as an interest rate risk management strategy to reduce fair value variability by converting certain fixed rate interest payments associated with available-for-sale securities and long-term debt to LIBOR. We also utilize interest rate swaps and forward exchange contracts as cash flow hedges to manage our exposure to interest and foreign exchange rate changes.

The available-for-sale securities hedged consist of U.S. Treasury bonds, agency and non-agency commercial MBS, sovereign debt, corporate bonds and covered bonds that had original maturities of 30 years or less at initial purchase. At June 30, 2019, $18.1 billion face amount of available-for-sale securities were hedged with interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges that had notional values of $18.1 billion.

The fixed rate long-term debt instruments hedged generally have original maturities of five to 30 years. In fair value hedging relationships, debt is hedged with “receive fixed rate, pay variable rate” swaps. At June 30, 2019, $14.1 billion par value of debt was hedged with interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges that had notional values of $14.1 billion. In addition, at June 30, 2019, the Company utilized interest rate swaps with notional values of $1.0 billion as cash flow hedges to convert floating rate long-term debt with a par value of $1.0 billion to a fixed interest rate. A pre-tax loss of $2 million was recognized in OCI related to the cash flow hedges at June 30, 2019 and will be reclassified to earnings over the next 12 months.

In addition, we utilize forward foreign exchange contracts as hedges to mitigate foreign exchange exposures. We use forward foreign exchange contracts as cash flow hedges to convert certain forecasted non-U.S. dollar revenue and expenses into U.S. dollars. We use forward foreign exchange
 
contracts with maturities of 12 months or less as cash flow hedges to hedge our foreign exchange exposure to Indian rupee, British pound, Hong Kong dollar, Singapore dollar and Polish zloty revenue and expense transactions in entities that have the U.S. dollar as their functional currency. As of June 30, 2019, the hedged forecasted foreign currency transactions and designated forward foreign exchange contract hedges were $272 million (notional), with a pre-tax gain of $8 million recorded in accumulated OCI. This gain will be reclassified to earnings over the next 12 months.

We also utilize forward foreign exchange contracts as fair value hedges of the foreign exchange risk associated with available-for-sale securities. Forward points are designated as an excluded component and amortized into earnings over the hedge period. The unamortized derivative value associated with the excluded component is recognized in accumulated OCI. At June 30, 2019, $145 million face amount of available-for-sale securities were hedged with foreign currency forward contracts that had a notional value of $145 million.

Forward foreign exchange contracts are also used to hedge the value of our net investments in foreign subsidiaries. These forward foreign exchange contracts have maturities of less than one year. The derivatives employed are designated as hedges of changes in value of our foreign investments due to exchange rates. Changes in the value of the forward foreign exchange contracts offset the changes in value of the foreign investments due to changes in foreign exchange rates. The change in fair market value of these forward foreign exchange contracts is reported within foreign currency translation adjustments in shareholders’ equity, net of tax. At June 30, 2019, forward foreign exchange contracts with notional amounts totaling $7.3 billion were designated as net investment hedges.

In addition to forward foreign exchange contracts, we also designate non-derivative financial instruments as hedges of our net investments in foreign subsidiaries. Those non-derivative financial instruments designated as hedges of our net investments in foreign subsidiaries were all long-term liabilities of BNY Mellon in various currencies, and, at June 30, 2019, had a combined U.S. dollar equivalent value of $174 million.

(a)
The fair value of asset derivatives and liability derivatives designated as hedging instruments is recorded as other assets and other liabilities, respectively, on the consolidated balance sheet.
(b)
For derivative transactions settled at clearing organizations, cash collateral exchanged is deemed a settlement of the derivative each day. The settlement reduces the gross fair value of derivative assets and liabilities and a corresponding decrease in the effect of master netting agreements, with no impact to the consolidated balance sheet.
(c)
The fair value of asset derivatives and liability derivatives not designated as hedging instruments is recorded as trading assets and trading liabilities, respectively, on the consolidated balance sheet.
(d)
Fair values are on a gross basis, before consideration of master netting agreements, as required by ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging.
(e)
Effect of master netting agreements includes cash collateral received and paid of $836 million and $565 million, respectively, at June 30, 2019, and $809 million and $1,040 million, respectively, at Dec. 31, 2018.


Trading activities (including trading derivatives)

Our trading activities are focused on acting as a market-maker for our customers, facilitating customer trades and risk mitigating economic hedging in compliance with the Volcker Rule. The change in the fair value of the derivatives utilized in our trading activities is recorded in foreign exchange and other trading revenue on the consolidated income statement.

The following table presents our foreign exchange and other trading revenue.

Foreign exchange revenue includes income from purchasing and selling foreign currencies and currency forwards, futures and options. Other trading
 
revenue reflects results from trading in cash instruments including fixed income and equity securities and non-foreign exchange derivatives.

We also use derivative financial instruments as risk mitigating economic hedges, which are not formally designated as accounting hedges. This includes hedging the foreign currency, interest rate or market risks inherent in some of our balance sheet exposures, such as seed capital investments and deposits, as well as certain investment management fee revenue streams. We also use total return swaps to economically hedge obligations arising from the Company’s deferred compensation plan whereby the participants defer compensation and earn a return linked to the performance of investments they select. The gains or losses on these total return swaps are recorded in staff expense on the consolidated income statement and were a gain of $5 million in the second quarter of 2019, $2 million in the second quarter of 2018, $18 million in the first quarter of 2019, $23 million in the first six months of 2019 and a loss of $1 million in the first six months of 2018.

We manage trading risk through a system of position limits, a VaR methodology based on historical


BNY Mellon 85

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
 

simulation and other market sensitivity measures. Risk is monitored and reported to senior management by a separate unit, independent from trading, on a daily basis. Based on certain assumptions, the VaR methodology is designed to capture the potential overnight pre-tax dollar loss from adverse changes in fair values of all trading positions. The calculation assumes a one-day holding period, utilizes a 99% confidence level and incorporates non-linear product characteristics. The VaR model is one of several statistical models used to develop economic capital results, which are allocated to lines of business for computing risk-adjusted performance.

VaR methodology does not evaluate risk attributable to extraordinary financial, economic or other occurrences. As a result, the risk assessment process includes a number of stress scenarios based upon the risk factors in the portfolio and management’s assessment of market conditions. Additional stress scenarios based upon historical market events are also performed. Stress tests may incorporate the impact of reduced market liquidity and the breakdown of historically observed correlations and extreme scenarios. VaR and other statistical measures, stress testing and sensitivity analysis are incorporated in other risk management materials.

Counterparty credit risk and collateral

We assess credit risk of our counterparties through regular examination of their financial statements, confidential communication with the management of those counterparties and regular monitoring of publicly available credit rating information. This and other information is used to develop proprietary credit rating metrics used to assess credit quality.

Collateral requirements are determined after a comprehensive review of the credit quality of each counterparty. Collateral is generally held or pledged in the form of cash and/or highly liquid government securities. Collateral requirements are monitored and adjusted daily.

Additional disclosures concerning derivative financial instruments are provided in Note 16.

Disclosure of contingent features in OTC derivative instruments

Certain OTC derivative contracts and/or collateral agreements contain credit-risk contingent features triggered upon a rating downgrade in which the
 
counterparty has the right to request additional collateral or the right to terminate the contracts in a net liability position.

The following table shows the aggregate fair value of OTC derivative contracts in net liability positions that contained credit-risk contingent features and the value of collateral that has been posted.

The aggregate fair value of OTC derivative contracts containing credit-risk contingent features can fluctuate from quarter to quarter due to changes in market conditions, composition of counterparty trades, new business or changes to the contingent features.

The Bank of New York Mellon, our largest banking subsidiary, enters into the substantial majority of our OTC derivative contracts and/or collateral agreements. As such, the contingent features may be triggered if The Bank of New York Mellon’s long-term issuer rating was downgraded.

The following table shows the fair value of contracts falling under early termination provisions that were in net liability positions for three key ratings triggers.

BNY Mellon’s repurchase agreements and securities lending transactions primarily encounter risk associated with liquidity. We are required to pledge collateral based on predetermined terms within the agreements. If we were to experience a decline in the fair value of the collateral pledged for these transactions, we could be required to provide additional collateral to the counterparty, therefore decreasing the amount of assets available for other liquidity needs that may arise. BNY Mellon also offers tri-party collateral agency services in the tri-party repo market where we are exposed to credit risk. In order to mitigate this risk, we require dealers to fully secure intraday credit.

Note 19–Commitments and contingent liabilities

Off-balance sheet arrangements

In the normal course of business, various commitments and contingent liabilities are outstanding that are not reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Our significant trading and off-balance sheet risks are securities, foreign currency and interest rate risk management products, commercial lending
 
commitments, letters of credit and securities lending indemnifications. We assume these risks to reduce interest rate and foreign currency risks, to provide customers with the ability to meet credit and liquidity needs and to hedge foreign currency and interest rate risks. These items involve, to varying degrees, credit, foreign currency and interest rate risks not recognized on the balance sheet. Our off-balance sheet risks are managed and monitored in manners similar to those used for on-balance sheet risks.

The following table presents a summary of our off-balance sheet credit risks.

BNY Mellon 89

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
 

The total potential loss on undrawn lending commitments, standby and commercial letters of credit, and securities lending indemnifications is equal to the total notional amount if drawn upon, which does not consider the value of any collateral.

Since many of the lending commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total amount does not necessarily represent future cash requirements. A summary of lending commitment maturities is as follows: $31.8 billion in less than one year, $18.9 billion in one to five years and $539 million over five years.

SBLCs principally support obligations of corporate clients and were collateralized with cash and securities of $219 million at June 30, 2019 and $223 million at Dec. 31, 2018. At June 30, 2019, $1.6 billion of the SBLCs will expire within one year and $831 million in one to five years.

We must recognize, at the inception of an SBLC and foreign and other guarantees, a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing the guarantee. The fair value of the liability, which was recorded with a corresponding asset in other assets, was estimated as the present value of contractual customer fees. The estimated liability for losses related to SBLCs and foreign and other guarantees, if any, is included in the allowance for lending-related commitments.

Payment/performance risk of SBLCs is monitored using both historical performance and internal ratings criteria. BNY Mellon’s historical experience is that SBLCs typically expire without being funded. SBLCs below investment grade are monitored closely for payment/performance risk. The table below shows SBLCs by investment grade:

A commercial letter of credit is normally a short-term instrument used to finance a commercial contract for the shipment of goods from a seller to a buyer. Although the commercial letter of credit is contingent upon the satisfaction of specified conditions, it represents a credit exposure if the buyer defaults on the underlying transaction. As a result, the total
 
contractual amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Commercial letters of credit totaled $60 million at June 30, 2019 and $165 million at Dec. 31, 2018.

We expect many of the lending commitments and letters of credit to expire without the need to advance any cash. The revenue associated with guarantees frequently depends on the credit rating of the obligor and the structure of the transaction, including collateral, if any. The allowance for lending-related commitments was $95 million at June 30, 2019 and $106 million at Dec. 31, 2018.

A securities lending transaction is a fully collateralized transaction in which the owner of a security agrees to lend the security (typically through an agent, in our case, The Bank of New York Mellon), to a borrower, usually a broker-dealer or bank, on an open, overnight or term basis, under the terms of a prearranged contract.

We typically lend securities with indemnification against borrower default. We generally require the borrower to provide collateral with a minimum value of 102% of the fair value of the securities borrowed, which is monitored on a daily basis, thus reducing credit risk. Market risk can also arise in securities lending transactions. These risks are controlled through policies limiting the level of risk that can be undertaken. Securities lending transactions are generally entered into only with highly rated counterparties. Securities lending indemnifications were secured by collateral of $425 billion at June 30, 2019 and $420 billion at Dec. 31, 2018.

CIBC Mellon, a joint venture between BNY Mellon and the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (“CIBC”), engages in securities lending activities.  CIBC Mellon, BNY Mellon and CIBC jointly and severally indemnify securities lenders against specific types of borrower default. At June 30, 2019 and Dec. 31, 2018, $62 billion and $56 billion, respectively, of borrowings at CIBC Mellon, for which BNY Mellon acts as agent on behalf of CIBC Mellon clients, were secured by collateral of $66 billion and $59 billion, respectively. If, upon a default, a borrower’s collateral was not sufficient to cover its related obligations, certain losses related to the indemnification could be covered by the indemnitors.

Unsettled repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements

In the normal course of business, we enter into repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements that settle at a future date. In repurchase agreements, BNY Mellon receives cash from and provides securities as collateral to a counterparty at settlement. In reverse repurchase agreements, BNY Mellon advances cash to and receives securities as collateral from the counterparty at settlement. These transactions are recorded on the consolidated balance sheet on settlement date. At June 30, 2019, we had $275 million of unsettled repurchase agreements and $28.4 billion of unsettled reverse repurchase agreements which all settled the following day.

Major concentrations in securities lending are primarily to broker-dealers and are generally collateralized with cash and/or securities.

Exposure for certain administrative errors

In connection with certain offshore tax-exempt funds that we manage, we may be liable to the funds for certain administrative errors. The errors relate to the resident status of such funds, potentially exposing the
 
Company to a tax liability related to the funds’ earnings. The Company is in discussions with tax authorities regarding the funds. We believe we are appropriately accrued and the additional reasonably possible exposure is not significant.

Sponsored Member Repo Program

BNY Mellon is a sponsoring member in the FICC sponsored member program, where we submit eligible overnight repurchase and reverse repurchase transactions in U.S. treasury securities (“Sponsored Member Transactions”) between BNY Mellon and our sponsored member clients for novation and clearing through FICC pursuant to the FICC Government Securities Division rulebook (the “FICC Rules”). We also guarantee to FICC the prompt and full payment and performance of our sponsored member clients’ respective obligations under the FICC Rules in connection with such clients’ Sponsored Member Transactions. We minimize our credit exposure under this guaranty by obtaining a security interest in our sponsored member clients’ collateral and rights under Sponsored Member Transactions. See “Offsetting assets and liabilities” in Note 18 for additional information on our repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements.

Indemnification arrangements

We have provided standard representations for underwriting agreements, acquisition and divestiture agreements, sales of loans and commitments, and other similar types of arrangements and customary indemnification for claims and legal proceedings related to providing financial services that are not otherwise included above. Insurance has been purchased to mitigate certain of these risks. Generally, there are no stated or notional amounts included in these indemnifications and the contingencies triggering the obligation for indemnification are not expected to occur. Furthermore, often counterparties to these transactions provide us with comparable indemnifications. We are unable to develop an estimate of the maximum payout under these indemnifications for several reasons. In addition to the lack of a stated or notional amount in a majority of such indemnifications, we are unable to predict the nature of events that would trigger indemnification or the level of indemnification for a certain event. We believe, however, that the possibility that we will have to make any material payments for these


BNY Mellon 91

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
 

indemnifications is remote. At June 30, 2019 and Dec. 31, 2018, we have not recorded any material liabilities under these arrangements.

Clearing and settlement exchanges

We are a noncontrolling equity investor in, and/or member of, several industry clearing or settlement exchanges through which foreign exchange, securities, derivatives or other transactions settle. Certain of these industry clearing and settlement exchanges require their members to guarantee their obligations and liabilities and/or to provide liquidity support in the event other members do not honor their obligations. We believe the likelihood that a clearing or settlement exchange (of which we are a member) would become insolvent is remote. Additionally, certain settlement exchanges have implemented loss allocation policies that enable the exchange to allocate settlement losses to the members of the exchange. It is not possible to quantify such mark-to-market loss until the loss occurs. Any ancillary costs that occur as a result of any mark-to-market loss cannot be quantified. In addition, we also sponsor clients as members on clearing and settlement exchanges and guarantee their obligations. At June 30, 2019 and Dec. 31, 2018, we have not recorded any material liabilities under these arrangements.

Legal proceedings

In the ordinary course of business, BNY Mellon is routinely named as defendants in or made parties to pending and potential legal actions. We also are subject to governmental and regulatory examinations, information-gathering requests, investigations and proceedings (both formal and informal). Claims for significant monetary damages are often asserted in many of these legal actions, while claims for disgorgement, restitution, penalties and/or other remedial actions or sanctions may be sought in governmental and regulatory matters. It is inherently difficult to predict the eventual outcomes of such matters given their complexity and the particular facts and circumstances at issue in each of these matters. However, on the basis of our current knowledge and understanding, we do not believe that judgments, settlements or orders, if any, arising from these matters (either individually or in the aggregate, after giving effect to applicable reserves and insurance coverage) will have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position or liquidity of BNY
 
Mellon, although they could have a material effect on our results of operations in a given period.

In view of the inherent unpredictability of outcomes in litigation and regulatory matters, particularly where (i) the damages sought are substantial or indeterminate, (ii) the proceedings are in the early stages, or (iii) the matters involve novel legal theories or a large number of parties, as a matter of course there is considerable uncertainty surrounding the timing or ultimate resolution of litigation and regulatory matters, including a possible eventual loss, fine, penalty or business impact, if any, associated with each such matter. In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, BNY Mellon establishes accruals for litigation and regulatory matters when those matters proceed to a stage where they present loss contingencies that are both probable and reasonably estimable. In such cases, there may be a possible exposure to loss in excess of any amounts accrued. BNY Mellon regularly monitors such matters for developments that could affect the amount of the accrual, and will adjust the accrual amount as appropriate. If the loss contingency in question is not both probable and reasonably estimable, BNY Mellon does not establish an accrual and the matter continues to be monitored for any developments that would make the loss contingency both probable and reasonably estimable. BNY Mellon believes that its accruals for legal proceedings are appropriate and, in the aggregate, are not material to the consolidated financial position of BNY Mellon, although future accruals could have a material effect on the results of operations in a given period.

For certain of those matters described here for which a loss contingency may, in the future, be reasonably possible (whether in excess of a related accrued liability or where there is no accrued liability), BNY Mellon is currently unable to estimate a range of reasonably possible loss. For those matters described here where BNY Mellon is able to estimate a reasonably possible loss, the aggregate range of such reasonably possible loss is up to $930 million in excess of the accrued liability (if any) related to those matters.

The following describes certain judicial, regulatory and arbitration proceedings involving BNY Mellon:

Mortgage-Securitization Trusts Proceedings
The Bank of New York Mellon has been named as a defendant in a number of legal actions brought by


92 BNY Mellon

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
 

MBS investors alleging that the trustee has expansive duties under the governing agreements, including the duty to investigate and pursue breach of representation and warranty claims against other parties to the MBS transactions. These actions include a lawsuit brought in New York State court on June 18, 2014, and later re-filed in federal court, by a group of institutional investors who purport to sue on behalf of 233 MBS trusts.

Matters Related to R. Allen Stanford
In late December 2005, Pershing LLC (“Pershing”) became a clearing firm for Stanford Group Co. (“SGC”), a registered broker-dealer that was part of a group of entities ultimately controlled by R. Allen Stanford (“Stanford”). Stanford International Bank (“SIB”), also controlled by Stanford, issued certificates of deposit (“CDs”). Some investors allegedly wired funds from their SGC accounts to purchase CDs. In 2009, the SEC charged Stanford with operating a Ponzi scheme in connection with the sale of CDs, and SGC was placed into receivership. Alleged purchasers of CDs have filed 15 lawsuits against Pershing that are pending in Texas, including two putative class actions. The purchasers allege that Pershing, as SGC’s clearing firm, assisted Stanford in a fraudulent scheme and assert contractual, statutory and common law claims. On July 12, 2018, a federal district court dismissed six of the individual lawsuits and those cases are on appeal. On March 8, 2019, a group of investors filed a putative class action against The Bank of New York Mellon, making the same allegations as in the prior actions brought against Pershing. On March 21, 2019, the Texas federal court denied the motion for class certification in one of the putative class actions against Pershing. FINRA arbitration proceedings also have been initiated by alleged purchasers asserting similar claims.

Brazilian Postalis Litigation
BNY Mellon Servicos Financeiros DTVM S.A. (“DTVM”), a subsidiary that provides asset services in Brazil, acts as administrator for certain investment funds in which a public pension fund for postal workers called Postalis-Instituto de Seguridade Social dos Correios e Telégrafos (“Postalis”) invested. On Aug. 22, 2014, Postalis sued DTVM in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil for losses related to a Postalis fund for which DTVM is administrator. Postalis alleges that DTVM failed to properly perform duties, including to conduct due diligence of and exert control over the manager. On March 12, 2015, Postalis filed a lawsuit in Rio de Janeiro against DTVM and BNY Mellon
 
Administração de Ativos Ltda. (“Ativos”) alleging failure to properly perform duties relating to another fund of which DTVM is administrator and Ativos is manager. On Dec. 14, 2015, Associacão dos Profissionais dos Correiros (“ADCAP”), a Brazilian postal workers association, filed a lawsuit in São Paulo against DTVM and other defendants alleging that DTVM improperly contributed to Postalis investment losses. On March 20, 2017, the lawsuit was dismissed without prejudice, and ADCAP has appealed that decision. On Dec. 17, 2015, Postalis filed three lawsuits in Rio de Janeiro against DTVM and Ativos alleging failure to properly perform duties with respect to investments in several other funds. On Feb. 4, 2016, Postalis filed a lawsuit in Brasilia against DTVM, Ativos and BNY Mellon Alocação de Patrimônio Ltda., an investment management subsidiary, alleging failure to properly perform duties and liability for losses with respect to investments in various funds of which the defendants were administrator and/or manager. On Jan. 16, 2018, the Brazilian Federal Prosecution Service (“MPF”) filed a civil lawsuit in São Paulo against DTVM alleging liability for Postalis losses based on alleged failures to properly perform certain duties as administrator to certain funds in which Postalis invested or controller of Postalis’s own investment portfolio. On April 18, 2018, the court dismissed the lawsuit without prejudice, and the MPF has appealed that decision. In addition, the Tribunal de Contas da Uniao, an administrative tribunal, has initiated two proceedings with the purpose of determining liability for losses to two investment funds administered by DTVM in which Postalis was the exclusive investor.

Depositary Receipt Litigation
Between late December 2015 and February 2016, four putative class action lawsuits were filed against BNY Mellon asserting claims relating to BNY Mellon’s foreign exchange pricing when converting dividends and other distributions from non-U.S. companies in its role as depositary bank to Depositary Receipt issuers. The claims are for breach of contract and violations of ERISA. The lawsuits were consolidated in federal court in the Southern District of New York. The parties in the lawsuits entered into settlement agreements to resolve the suits, and the agreements have been approved by the court.

Brazilian Silverado Litigation
DTVM acts as administrator for the Fundo de Investimento em Direitos Creditórios Multisetorial Silverado Maximum (“Silverado Maximum Fund”),


BNY Mellon 93

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
 

which invests in commercial credit receivables. On June 2, 2016, the Silverado Maximum Fund sued DTVM in its capacity as administrator, along with Deutsche Bank S.A. - Banco Alemão in its capacity as custodian and Silverado Gestão e Investimentos Ltda. in its capacity as investment manager. The Fund alleges that each of the defendants failed to fulfill its respective duty, and caused losses to the Fund for which the defendants are jointly and severally liable.

German Tax Matters
German authorities are investigating past “cum/ex” trading, which involved the purchase of equity securities on or shortly before the dividend date, but settled after that date, potentially resulting in an unwarranted refund of withholding tax. German authorities have taken the view that past cum/ex trading may have resulted in tax avoidance or evasion. European subsidiaries of BNY Mellon have been informed by German authorities about investigations into potential cum/ex trading by certain third-party investment funds, where one of the subsidiaries had acquired entities that served as depositary and/or fund manager for those third-party investment funds. We have received preliminary information requests from the authorities relating to pre-acquisition activity and are cooperating fully with those requests. We have not received any tax demand concerning cum/ex trading. In addition, in June 2019, one of these subsidiaries received notice that the District Court of Bonn is considering whether to add the subsidiary as a secondary party in connection with the prosecution of unrelated third parties. We intend to contest the possible addition of the subsidiary to those proceedings, which are scheduled to commence in September. In connection with the acquisition of the subject entities, we obtained an indemnity for liabilities from the sellers that we intend to pursue as necessary.

Note 20–Lines of business

We have an internal information system that produces performance data along product and service lines for our two principal businesses and the Other segment. The primary products and services and types of revenue for our principal businesses and a description of the Other segment are presented in Note 23 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2018 Annual Report.

 
Business accounting principles

Our business data has been determined on an internal management basis of accounting, rather than the generally accepted accounting principles used for consolidated financial reporting. These measurement principles are designed so that reported results of the businesses will track their economic performance.

Business results are subject to reclassification when organizational changes are made. There were no significant organizational changes in the second quarter of 2019. The results are also subject to refinements in revenue and expense allocation methodologies, which are typically reflected on a prospective basis.

The accounting policies of the businesses are the same as those described in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2018 Annual Report.

The results of our businesses are presented and analyzed on an internal management reporting basis.

Revenue amounts reflect fee and other revenue generated by each business. Fee and other revenue transferred between businesses under revenue transfer agreements is included within other revenue in each business.
Revenues and expenses associated with specific client bases are included in those businesses. For example, foreign exchange activity associated with clients using custody products is included in Investment Services.
Net interest revenue is allocated to businesses based on the yields on the assets and liabilities generated by each business. We employ a funds transfer pricing system that matches funds with the specific assets and liabilities of each business based on their interest sensitivity and maturity characteristics.
The provision for credit losses associated with the respective credit portfolios is reflected in each business segment.
Incentives expense related to restricted stock is allocated to the businesses.
Support and other indirect expenses are allocated to businesses based on internally developed methodologies.


94 BNY Mellon

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
 

Recurring FDIC expense is allocated to the businesses based on average deposits generated within each business.
Litigation expense is generally recorded in the business in which the charge occurs.
Management of the securities portfolio is a shared service contained in the Other segment. As a result, gains and losses associated with the valuation of the securities portfolio are included in the Other segment.
Client deposits serve as the primary funding source for our securities portfolio. We typically
 
allocate all interest revenue to the businesses generating the deposits. Accordingly, accretion related to the portion of the securities portfolio restructured in 2009 has been included in the results of the businesses.
Balance sheet assets and liabilities and their related income or expense are specifically assigned to each business. Businesses with a net liability position have been allocated assets.
Goodwill and intangible assets are reflected within individual businesses.

The following consolidating schedules present the contribution of our businesses to our overall profitability.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
 

Disclosure controls and procedures

Our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, with participation by the members of the Disclosure Committee, has responsibility for ensuring that there is an adequate and effective process for establishing, maintaining, and evaluating disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our SEC reports is timely recorded, processed, summarized and reported and that information required to be disclosed by BNY Mellon is accumulated and communicated to BNY Mellon’s management to allow timely decisions regarding the required disclosure. In addition, our ethics hotline can also be used by employees and others for the anonymous communication of concerns about financial controls or reporting matters. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives.

 
As of the end of the period covered by this report, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting

In the ordinary course of business, we may routinely modify, upgrade or enhance our internal controls and procedures for financial reporting. There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act during the second quarter of 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Forward-looking Statements
 


Some statements in this document are forward-looking. These include all statements about the usefulness of Non-GAAP measures, the future results of BNY Mellon, our businesses, financial, liquidity and capital condition, results of operations, liquidity, risk and capital management and processes, goals, strategies, outlook, objectives, expectations (including those regarding our performance results, expenses, nonperforming assets, timing of settlement of certain agreements and impact on credit losses, impacts of currency fluctuations, impacts of trends on our businesses, regulatory, technology, market, economic or accounting developments and the impacts of such developments on our businesses, legal proceedings and other contingencies), effective tax rate, estimates (including those regarding expenses, losses inherent in our credit portfolios and capital ratios), intentions (including those regarding our capital returns and investment in technology), targets, opportunities, growth (including those regarding our net interest revenue sensitivity and growth), the replacement of LIBOR and other IBORs and our transition program to alternative reference rates and initiatives.

In this report, any other report, any press release or any written or oral statement that BNY Mellon or its executives may make, words, such as “estimate,” “forecast,” “project,” “anticipate,” “likely,” “target,” “expect,” “intend,” “continue,” “seek,” “believe,” “plan,” “goal,” “could,” “should,” “would,” “may,” “might,” “will,” “strategy,” “synergies,” “opportunities,” “trends,” “future” and words of similar meaning, may signify forward-looking statements.

Actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied as a result of a number of factors, including those discussed in “Risk Factors” in our 2018 Annual Report, such as:

a communications or technology disruption or failure that results in a loss of information, delays our ability to access information or impacts our ability to provide services to our clients may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations;
a cybersecurity incident, or a failure to protect our computer systems, networks and information and our clients’ information against cybersecurity threats, could result in the theft, loss, unauthorized access to, disclosure, use or alteration of information, system or network failures, or loss of access to information; any
 
such incident or failure could adversely impact our ability to conduct our businesses, damage our reputation and cause losses;
our business may be materially adversely affected by operational risk;
our risk management framework may not be effective in mitigating risk and reducing the potential for losses;
we are subject to extensive government rulemaking, regulation and supervision; these rules and regulations have, and in the future may, compel us to change how we manage our businesses, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations; in addition, these rules and regulations have increased our compliance and operational risk and costs;
regulatory or enforcement actions or litigation could materially adversely affect our results of operations or harm our businesses or reputation;
our businesses may be negatively affected by adverse events, publicity, government scrutiny or other reputational harm;
failure to satisfy regulatory standards, including “well capitalized” and “well managed” status or capital adequacy and liquidity rules more generally, could result in limitations on our activities and adversely affect our business and financial condition;
a failure or circumvention of our controls and procedures could have a material adverse effect on our business, reputation, results of operations and financial condition;
the application of our Title I preferred resolution strategy or resolution under the Title II orderly liquidation authority could adversely affect the Parent’s liquidity and financial condition and the Parent’s security holders;
if our resolution plan is determined not to be credible or not to facilitate an orderly resolution under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, our business, reputation, results of operations and financial condition could be materially negatively impacted;
acts of terrorism, impacts from climate change, natural disasters, pandemics, global conflicts and other geopolitical events may have a negative impact on our business and operations;
we are dependent on fee-based business for a substantial majority of our revenue and our fee-based revenues could be adversely affected by slowing in market activity, weak financial markets, underperformance and/or negative

our FX revenue may be adversely affected by decreases in market volatility and the cross-border investment activity of our clients;
the failure or perceived weakness of any of our significant counterparties, many of whom are major financial institutions and sovereign entities, and our assumption of credit and counterparty risk, could expose us to loss and adversely affect our business;
our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected if we do not effectively manage our liquidity;
we could incur losses if our allowance for credit losses, including loan and lending-related commitments reserves, is inadequate;
any material reduction in our credit ratings or the credit ratings of our principal bank subsidiaries, The Bank of New York Mellon or BNY Mellon, N.A., could increase the cost of funding and borrowing to us and our rated subsidiaries and have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition and on the value of the securities we issue;

the Parent is a non-operating holding company, and as a result, is dependent on dividends from its subsidiaries and extensions of credit from its IHC to meet its obligations, including with respect to its securities, and to provide funds for share repurchases and payment of dividends to its stockholders; and
changes in accounting standards governing the preparation of our financial statements and future events could have a material impact on our reported financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and other financial data.

In June 2018, in connection with the Federal Reserve’s non-objection to our 2018 capital plan, BNY Mellon announced a share repurchase plan providing for the repurchase of up to $2.4 billion of common stock. The 2018 capital plan began in the third quarter of 2018 and continued through the second quarter of 2019.

In December 2018, the Federal Reserve approved the repurchase of up to $830 million of additional common stock under our repurchase program. Our Board of Directors approved the additional share repurchases, all of which were repurchased in the fourth quarter of 2018. These repurchases were in addition to the Company’s repurchase of $2.4 billion of common stock previously approved by the Board and announced in June 2018.

In June 2019, in connection with the Federal Reserve’s non-objection to our 2019 capital plan, BNY Mellon announced a share repurchase plan providing for the repurchase of up to $3.94 billion of
 
common stock starting in the third quarter of 2019 and continuing through the second quarter of 2020. This new share repurchase plan replaces all previously authorized share repurchase plans.

Share repurchases may be executed through open market repurchases, in privately negotiated transactions or by other means, including through repurchase plans designed to comply with Rule 10b5-1 and other derivative, accelerated share repurchase and other structured transactions. The timing and exact amount of any common stock repurchases will depend on various factors, including market conditions and the common stock trading price; the Company’s capital position, liquidity and financial performance; alternative uses of capital; and legal and regulatory considerations.
