Bank of New York Mellon has reported a net income applicable to common shareholders of $835m, a decline of 16% compared with $991m a year ago.
The diluted earnings per common share was $1.03 against $1.13 in the year-ago quarter.
The bank’s total revenue rose by 7% to $4.3bn in Q2, reflecting a 4% rise in the fee revenue and a 28% increase in the net interest revenue.
Noninterest expenses climbed 12%, including a 4% increase due to higher litigation reserves. The bank attributed the remainder of the increase to higher investments in growth, infrastructure and efficiency initiatives and higher revenue-related expenses.
Provision for credit losses was $47m against a benefit of $86m in the year-ago quarter, primarily reflecting changes in the macroeconomic forecast.
For the quarter ended on 30 June 2022, BNY Mellon’s assets under custody and/or administration (AUC/A) plummeted 4% to $43.0trn due to lower market values and the unfavourable impact of a stronger US dollar. This was partially offset by client inflows and net new business.
