Summary
The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (BK) filed an 8-K on December 8, 2021, to announce a change in its business segment reporting structure, effective in the fourth quarter of 2021. This resegmentation is intended to better align with the company's strategic direction and future reporting practices. Investors should note that these changes primarily affect the presentation of financial data and do not alter the previously reported consolidated financial results, including total fee and other revenue, income before taxes, or net income. The company has provided revised historical quarterly and annual financial data reflecting the new segment structure in Exhibit 99.1. This exhibit also details a reclassification on the consolidated income statement. BK plans to adopt this new reporting format for its fourth quarter 2021 earnings release, scheduled for January 18, 2022. While the segment-level performance may offer new insights, the overall financial health and performance metrics of the consolidated entity remain unchanged by this disclosure.
