Summary

In the second quarter of 2018, Bank of New York Mellon (BK) demonstrated robust financial performance, driven by an 8% increase in Investment Services revenue and a 3% rise in Investment Management revenue, contributing to a 5% overall revenue increase to $4.1 billion. Net income applicable to common shareholders grew to $1.06 billion, or $1.03 per diluted share, up from $926 million, or $0.88 per diluted share, in the prior year's second quarter. This growth was fueled by higher equity market values, a weaker U.S. dollar, and increased net interest revenue driven by higher rates. The company also strengthened its capital position, with the CET1 ratio improving to 11.0% from 10.7% at the end of the first quarter. BNY Mellon's commitment to shareholder returns was evident with the board approving a significant 17% increase in its quarterly cash dividend on common stock to $0.28 per share, alongside a new $2.4 billion share repurchase program. These capital actions, combined with strong operational performance, highlight the company's focus on enhancing shareholder value. Investments in technology and real estate consolidation were noted as key drivers of a 3% increase in non-interest expense, which the company expects to continue as it enhances its technological infrastructure.
