Summary
Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (BK) reported a solid third quarter of 2012, with net income applicable to common shareholders increasing to $720 million, or $0.61 per diluted share, up from $651 million, or $0.53 per share, in the same quarter last year. This performance was driven by record levels in both assets under custody and administration ($27.9 trillion) and assets under management ($1.4 trillion), reflecting higher market values and net new business across its key business segments. The company demonstrated strong capital positioning, with its estimated Basel III Tier 1 common equity ratio improving to 9.3%. Noninterest expense remained well-controlled, decreasing year-over-year primarily due to lower litigation and restructuring charges. Despite a decline in net interest revenue and margin compared to the prior year, likely due to lower reinvestment yields and the elimination of interest on European Central Bank deposits, the overall financial health of the bank appears stable, supported by its fee-based revenue streams.
