The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation Reports First Quarter Continuing EPS of $0.28 Impacted by: $0.21 per share resulting from investment and goodwill write-downs, $0.04 per share from merger and integration expenses
NEW YORK Strengthened Capital Ratios Tier 1 13.8% (11.2% Excluding TARP), TCE 4.2% Revenue Impacted by Lower Equity Market Values, Client Volumes and Interest Rates Increased Market Share and Well-Controlled Expenses Quarterly Dividend Reduced to 9 Cents; Building Capital Levels for Flexibility, Growth and the Repayment of TARP When Permitted NEW YORK, April 21, 2009 — The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation today reported first quarter income from continuing operations applicable to common shareholders of $322 million, or $0.28 per common share. This compares to income from continuing operations applicable to common shareholders of $749 million, or $0.65 per common share, in the first quarter of 2008 and income from continuing operations applicable to common shareholders, before an extraordinary item, of $53 million, or $0.05 per common share, in the fourth quarter of 2008. "In a difficult market environment, we continued to focus on winning new business, managing expenses and building the capital base. Our efforts resulted in market share gains in most of our businesses, a 10% decline in operating expenses and stronger capital ratios. The decision to reduce the dividend was not made lightly, and reflects our commitment to build capital further, pursue growth opportunities and, with the permission of our regulators, repay the government's investment in BNY Mellon. We anticipate returning to our historic payout ratio as soon as practical. "Given our global leadership position in asset management and securities servicing and the strength of our balance sheet, we remain confident in our ability to manage successfully through this global recession," said Robert P. Kelly, chairman and chief executive officer of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation.
