Earnings Per Common Share of $2.45
NEW YORK, July 15, 2026 – The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (“BNY”) (NYSE: BNY) today has reported financial results for the second quarter of 2026.
CEO COMMENTARY
In a dynamic market, BNY delivered another strong quarter with robust organic growth, once again demonstrating BNY’s position at the heart of the world’s capital markets.
Enabled by our new commercial and platform operating models, our people are coming together to support our clients
and deliver strong financial performance. We grew revenue by 13% year-over-year to a record $5.7 billion and generated 600 basis points of positive operating leverage, a pre-tax margin of 40% and an ROTCE of 31%.
Growth was broad-based across Securities Services, Market and Wealth Services and Investment and Wealth Management, reflecting healthy client activity as well as the impact of our continuous investments and strategic actions to enable differentiated solutions for our clients. We also achieved another quarter of record sales.
Halfway through the year, our performance underscores BNY’s strong momentum, and our teams around the world remain focused on delivering more for our clients and shareholders.

KEY DRIVERS (comparisons are 2Q26 vs. 2Q25, unless otherwise noted)
•Total revenue increased 13%, primarily reflecting:
•Fee revenue increased 11%, primarily reflecting net new business, higher market values and higher client activity, partially offset by the mix of AUM flows.
•Investment and other revenue increased primarily reflecting improved seed capital results.
•Net interest income increased 20%, primarily reflecting the reinvestment of investment securities at higher yields and balance sheet growth, partially offset by deposit margin compression.
•Provision for credit losses was a benefit of $8 million, primarily reflecting improvements in commercial real estate exposure, partially offset by changes in macroeconomic and other factors.
•Noninterest expense increased 7%, primarily reflecting higher revenue-related expenses, investments and employee salary increases, partially offset by efficiency savings.
•Effective tax rate of 21.0%.
Assets under custody and/or administration (“AUC/A”) and Assets under management (“AUM”)
•AUC/A increased 12%, primarily reflecting higher market values and net client inflows, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of a stronger U.S. dollar.
•AUM increased 6%, primarily reflecting higher market values, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of the stronger U.S. dollar and cumulative net outflows.
Capital and liquidity
•$371 million of dividends to common shareholders (a); $1.1 billion of common share repurchases.
•Return on common equity (“ROE”) – 17.2%.

•CET1 capital of $21.6 billion increased compared with March 31, 2026, primarily reflecting capital generated through earnings, partially offset by capital returned through common stock repurchases and dividends. The CET1 ratio was flat compared with March 31, 2026, reflecting the increase in capital, offset by higher risk-weighted assets.
•Tier 1 capital of $26.3 billion, decreased compared with March 31, 2026, primarily reflecting capital returned through common stock repurchases and dividends and a redemption of preferred stock, partially offset by capital generated through earnings. The Tier 1 leverage ratio decreased compared with March 31, 2026, primarily reflecting higher average assets.

BNY 2Q26 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.
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 expense measures, excluding notable items, including severance expense, litigation reserves and the FDIC special assessment. Litigation reserves represent accruals for loss contingencies that are both probable and reasonably estimable, but exclude standard business-related legal fees. Income before taxes, net income applicable to common shareholders of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation, diluted earnings per share, operating leverage, return on common equity, return on tangible common equity and pre-tax operating margin, excluding the notable items mentioned above, are also provided. These measures are provided to permit investors to view the financial measures on a basis consistent with how management views the businesses.

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, 2025 and our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

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.
