Summary
The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (BK) reported a solid first quarter in 2012, with net income applicable to common shareholders of $619 million, or $0.52 per diluted share. This represents a slight decrease from the prior year's $625 million but a significant increase from the previous quarter's $505 million. The company achieved record levels in both Assets Under Custody and Administration (AUC/A) at $26.6 trillion and Assets Under Management (AUM) at $1.31 trillion, demonstrating continued growth in its core businesses. Fee and other revenue remained stable year-over-year, supported by strong performance in asset servicing and clearing services, although investment management and performance fees saw a slight decline. Net interest revenue increased year-over-year, driven by higher client deposits and investment securities, though net interest margin slightly compressed. BNY Mellon's capital position remains strong, with its estimated Basel III Tier 1 common equity ratio improving to 7.6%. The company also received Federal Reserve approval for its 2012 capital plan, which includes $1.16 billion in share repurchases and a continued quarterly dividend of $0.13 per share. The company's focus on operational excellence initiatives is expected to yield significant cost savings.
