BNY Reports Third Quarter 2025

Earnings Per Common Share of $1.88

NEW YORK, October 16, 2025 – The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (“BNY”) (NYSE: BK) today has reported financial results for the third quarter of 2025.


CEO COMMENTARY


			BNY delivered another quarter of strong results. Record revenue of $5.1 billion was up 9% year-over-year on the back of broad-based growth across the platforms that make up our Securities Services and Market and Wealth Services segments, and we continued to drive significant positive operating leverage. Taken together, we reported a pre-tax margin of 36%, generated an ROTCE of 26%, and earnings per share of $1.88 were up 25% year-over-year.
Our two core transformation programs are showing results. The new commercial model is enabling greater sales momentum and multi-product solutioning, and as we continue to transition additional parts of the company into our platforms operating model, we see the benefits of this new way of working starting to materialize. In addition, we are embracing the power of AI, which, we believe, is for everyone, everywhere and for everything. Last month we launched for all our people the next version of BNY’s AI platform, Eliza – smarter, faster and easier to use.
It is our people and culture that propel us forward on our mission to unlock BNY’s full potential for our clients and shareholders. The clear signs of progress across the company give us confidence that the strategy is working.
– Robin Vince, Chief Executive Officer

KEY DRIVERS (comparisons are 3Q25 vs. 3Q24, unless otherwise noted)

•Total revenue increased 9%, primarily reflecting:

•Fee revenue increased 7%, primarily reflecting net new business, higher client activity and market values, and the favorable impact of a weaker U.S. dollar, partially offset by the mix of AUM flows.

•Investment and other revenue increased primarily reflecting a disposal gain and other investment gains, partially offset by higher net securities losses.

•Net interest income increased 18%, 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 $7 million, primarily driven by changes in the macroeconomic forecast, partially offset by higher reserves related to commercial real estate exposure.

•Noninterest expense increased 4%, primarily reflecting higher investments, employee merit increases, higher revenue-related expenses and the unfavorable impact of the weaker U.S. dollar, partially offset by efficiency savings.

•Effective tax rate of 21.3%.

Assets under custody and/or administration (“AUC/A”) and Assets under management (“AUM”)

•AUC/A increased 11%, primarily reflecting client inflows and higher market values.

•AUM was flat primarily reflecting higher market values, partially offset by cumulative net outflows.

Capital and liquidity

•$381 million of dividends to common shareholders (a); $849 million of common share repurchases.

•Return on common equity (“ROE”) – 13.7%; Return on tangible common equity (“ROTCE”) – 25.6% (b).

•Common Equity Tier 1 (“CET1”) ratio – 11.7%; Tier 1 leverage ratio – 6.1%.

•Average liquidity coverage ratio (“LCR”) – 112%; Average net stable funding ratio (“NSFR”) – 130%.

•Total Loss Absorbing Capacity (“TLAC”) ratios exceed minimum requirements.

(a) Regulatory capital and liquidity ratios for Sept. 30, 2025 are preliminary. For our CET1, Tier 1 capital and Total capital ratios, our effective capital ratios under the U.S. capital rules are the lower of the ratios as calculated under the Standardized and Advanced Approaches, which for Sept. 30, 2025, June 30, 2025 and for Dec. 31, 2024 was the Standardized Approach.

(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 $20.6 billion and Tier 1 capital totaled $25.5 billion at Sept. 30, 2025. CET1 capital increased compared with June 30, 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. Tier 1 capital was flat as the CET1 capital increase was offset by a net reduction in preferred stock. The CET1 ratio increased compared with June 30, 2025 reflecting the increase in capital, partially offset by higher risk-weighted assets. The Tier 1 leverage ratio increased slightly compared with June 30, 2025 reflecting lower average assets.

BNY 3Q25 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.
