Summary
The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (BK) reported net income applicable to common shareholders of $466 million, or $0.39 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2012. This figure includes a significant litigation charge of $212 million after-tax ($0.18 per share). Excluding this charge, the company's performance reflects a challenging operating environment. Total revenue declined year-over-year, primarily driven by lower fee and other revenue, particularly within Investment Services fees and Foreign exchange and other trading revenue. Net interest revenue saw a slight increase year-over-year, but the net interest margin continued to compress. Despite a record $27.1 trillion in assets under custody and administration, the company navigated market pressures, including lower equity market values and increased client deposits invested in lower-yielding assets. Capital ratios remain robust, with an estimated Basel III Tier 1 common equity ratio of 8.7% at quarter-end.
