Summary
State Street Corporation's second quarter and first half of 2005 results show modest growth in key areas, alongside increased operating expenses. For the second quarter of 2005, total revenue rose by 6% to $1.36 billion, driven primarily by a 9% increase in fee revenue to $1.14 billion. This growth in fee revenue was largely attributed to strong performance in servicing fees (up 8%), management fees (up 13%), and securities lending revenue (up 27%). However, net income remained flat at $220 million for the quarter, as total operating expenses also increased by 8% to $1.03 billion. For the first six months of 2005, revenue increased by 7% to $2.67 billion, with net income up 2% to $446 million, while operating expenses grew by 7%. The company continues to manage its capital effectively, with Tier 1 risk-based capital ratios well above regulatory requirements.
