BNY Reports Second Quarter 2025
Earnings Per Common Share of $1.93
NEW YORK, July 15, 2025 – The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (“BNY”) (NYSE: BK) today has reported financial results for the second quarter of 2025.
CEO COMMENTARY
BNY delivered a strong performance in the second quarter. Total revenue was up 9% year-over-year and for the first time exceeded $5 billion in a quarter. We also generated another quarter of significant positive operating leverage which resulted in an improved pre-tax margin of 37% and an ROTCE of 28%.
BNY’s ongoing transformation has significant momentum. Only one year after the launch of our new commercial model last summer, we delivered two consecutive quarters of record sales in the first half of the year. It is also notable that the parts of the company that were the first to transition to our platforms operating model in the spring of last year have displayed faster delivery times, enhanced service quality, increased innovation along with greater efficiency.
Our role as a financial services platforms company at the heart of the world’s capital markets combined with our diversified business model positions us for a wide range of economic scenarios. Our results in the first half of the year underscore BNY’s potential to create value for clients and shareholders, and we are entering the second half of the year with the momentum that comes from consistent execution and delivery.
– Robin Vince, Chief Executive Officer

KEY DRIVERS (comparisons are 2Q25 vs. 2Q24, unless otherwise noted)
•Total revenue increased 9%, primarily reflecting:
•Fee revenue increased 7%, primarily reflecting net new business, higher market values, client activity and foreign exchange revenue, and the favorable impact of the weaker U.S. dollar, partially offset by the mix of AUM flows.
•Investment and other revenue increased primarily reflecting favorable seed capital and other investments results, partially offset by higher net securities losses.
•Net interest income increased 17%, primarily reflecting the continued reinvestment of maturing investment securities at higher yields and balance sheet growth, partially offset by changes in deposit mix.
•Provision for credit losses was a benefit of $17 million, primarily driven by property-specific reserve releases related to our commercial real estate exposure.
•Noninterest expense increased 4%, primarily reflecting higher investments, employee merit increases, higher revenue-related expenses, adjustments to the FDIC special assessment and the unfavorable impact of the weaker U.S. dollar, partially offset by efficiency savings. Excluding notable items, noninterest expense also increased 4% (a).
•Effective tax rate of 22.0%.
Assets under custody and/or administration (“AUC/A”) and Assets under management (“AUM”)
•AUC/A increased 13%, primarily reflecting client inflows, higher market values and the favorable impact of the weaker U.S. dollar.
•AUM increased 3% primarily reflecting higher market values and the favorable impact of the weaker U.S. dollar, partially offset by cumulative net outflows.
Capital and liquidity
•$346 million of dividends to common shareholders (b); $895 million of common share repurchases.
•Return on common equity (“ROE”) – 14.7%; Return on tangible common equity (“ROTCE”) – 27.8% (a).
•Common Equity Tier 1 (“CET1”) ratio – 11.5%; Tier 1 leverage ratio – 6.1%.
•Average liquidity coverage ratio (“LCR”) – 112%; Average net stable funding ratio (“NSFR”) – 131%.
•Total Loss Absorbing Capacity (“TLAC”) ratios exceed minimum requirements.
(a) See “Explanation of GAAP and Non-GAAP financial measures” beginning on page 9 for additional information.

(a) Effective 1Q25, an adjustment for certain rebates, which were previously recorded as distribution and servicing expense, began to be reflected as a reduction of investment management fees. These amounts totaled approximately $20 million for all periods presented and impacted the year-over-year variances for investment management fees and related revenue subtotals, noninterest expense and Investment Management total revenue in the table above.
(b) Other fees primarily include investment services fees.
(c) Investment and other revenue and total fee and other revenue are net of income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests related to consolidated investment management funds.
(d) Net of distribution and servicing expense. See “Explanation of GAAP and Non-GAAP financial measures” beginning on page 9 for information on this Non-GAAP measure.
(e) Represents assets managed in the Investment and Wealth Management business segment.
(f) Includes AUM and AUC/A in the Wealth Management line of business.
KEY DRIVERS
•The drivers of the total revenue variances by line of business are indicated below.
•Investment Management – The year-over-year decrease primarily reflects the mix of AUM flows and the adjustment for certain rebates (offset in noninterest expense) (a), partially offset by higher market values, the favorable impact of the weaker U.S. dollar and higher equity investment income. The sequential increase primarily reflects higher seed capital gains, equity investment income and the favorable impact of the weaker U.S. dollar, partially offset by the mix of AUM flows.
•Wealth Management – The year-over-year decrease primarily reflects lower net interest income and changes in product mix, partially offset by higher market values.
•Noninterest expense decreased year-over-year primarily reflecting lower revenue-related expenses (including the adjustment for certain rebates (a)) and efficiency savings, partially offset by higher severance expense and the unfavorable impact of the weaker U.S. dollar. The sequential decrease primarily reflects lower revenue-related expenses and efficiency savings, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of the weaker U.S. dollar.

KEY DRIVERS
•Total revenue includes corporate treasury and other investment activity, including hedging activity which has an offsetting impact between fee and other revenue and net interest expense. The sequential decrease primarily reflects net losses on sales of securities.
•Noninterest expense increased year-over-year primarily driven by higher staff expense and the net impact of the adjustments to the FDIC special assessment, partially offset by lower litigation reserves. The sequential decrease primarily reflects lower litigation reserves and severance expense.

(b) Tangible book value per common share – Non-GAAP excludes goodwill and intangible assets, net of deferred tax liabilities. See “Explanation of GAAP and Non-GAAP financial measures” beginning on page 9 for information on this Non-GAAP measure.
•CET1 capital totaled $20.1 billion and Tier 1 capital totaled $25.5 billion at June 30, 2025, both increasing compared with March 31, 2025, primarily reflecting capital generated through earnings and a net increase in accumulated other comprehensive income, partially offset by capital returned through common stock repurchases and dividends. The CET1 ratio was flat compared with March 31, 2025 reflecting the increase in capital, offset by higher risk-weighted assets. The Tier 1 leverage ratio decreased compared with March 31, 2025 reflecting higher average assets, partially offset by the increase in capital.

BNY 2Q25 Financial Results
EXPLANATION OF GAAP AND NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
BNY has included in this Earnings Release certain Non-GAAP financial measures on a tangible basis as a supplement to GAAP information, which exclude goodwill and intangible assets, net of deferred tax liabilities. We believe that the return on tangible common equity – Non-GAAP is additional useful information for investors because it presents a measure of those assets that can generate income, and the tangible book value per common share – Non-GAAP is additional useful information because it presents the level of tangible assets in relation to shares of common stock outstanding.
Net interest income, on a fully taxable equivalent (“FTE”) basis – Non-GAAP and net interest margin (FTE) – Non-GAAP and other FTE measures include the tax equivalent adjustments on tax-exempt income which allows for the comparison of amounts arising from both taxable and tax-exempt sources and is consistent with industry practice. The adjustment to an FTE basis has no impact on net income.
BNY has included the adjusted pre-tax operating margin – Non-GAAP, which is the pre-tax operating margin for the Investment and Wealth Management business segment, net of distribution and servicing expense that was passed to third parties who distribute or service our managed funds. We believe that this measure is useful when evaluating the performance of the Investment and Wealth Management business segment relative to industry competitors.
See “Explanation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Financial Measures” in the Financial Supplement available at www.bny.com for additional reconciliations of Non-GAAP measures.
BNY has also included revenue measures excluding notable items, including a disposal gain. Expense measures, excluding notable items, including severance expense, litigation reserves and the FDIC special assessment, are also presented. Litigation reserves represent accruals for loss contingencies that are both probable and reasonably estimable, but exclude standard business-related legal fees. Net income applicable to common shareholders of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation, diluted earnings per share, operating leverage, return on common equity, return on tangible common equity and pre-tax operating margin, excluding the notable items mentioned above, are also provided. These measures are provided to permit investors to view the financial measures on a basis consistent with how management views the businesses.

Preliminary business metrics and regulatory capital ratios are subject to change, possibly materially, as we complete our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2025. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future results or occurrences, are inherently uncertain and are based upon current beliefs and expectations of future events, many of which are, by their nature, difficult to predict, outside of our control and subject to change.
By identifying these statements for you in this manner, we are alerting you to the possibility that our actual results may differ, possibly materially, from the anticipated results expressed or implied in these forward-looking statements as a result of a number of important factors, including the risk factors and other uncertainties set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended Dec. 31, 2024 and our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
You should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statement.

Underlines use the same word lists the scores use. AI, recession and tariffs follow Palanor’s word counter, so those counts match it exactly on the same text. Layoffs and buybacks use the terms the model was given. The model’s count is an estimate by meaning, not by string, so it can differ from the underlines.
