Summary
The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (BNY Mellon) reported strong first-quarter 2018 results, with net income applicable to common shareholders rising to $1.14 billion, or $1.10 per diluted share, from $880 million, or $0.83 per diluted share, in the prior year. Total revenue increased by 9% to $4.2 billion, driven by a 10% rise in fee revenue and a 16% increase in net interest revenue. This growth was supported by higher equity market values, a weaker U.S. dollar, and increased interest rates and deposits.

Investment Services saw an 11% revenue increase and a 22% rise in income before taxes, reaching a record $33.5 trillion in Assets Under Custody/Administration (AUC/A). Investment Management also reported a 13% revenue increase and a significant 38% jump in income before taxes, with Assets Under Management (AUM) growing by 8% to $1.9 trillion. BNY Mellon also highlighted a healthy capital position with a CET1 ratio of 10.7% under the Advanced Approach. The company returned capital to shareholders through $644 million in common stock repurchases and $246 million in dividends. The effective tax rate for the quarter was 19.5%, reflecting the lower federal statutory tax rate from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017.
