Noninterest expense increased slightly primarily reflecting the continued investments in technology and higher pension expense, partially offset by lower staff expense and the favorable impact of a stronger U.S. dollar. Effective tax rate of 21.6%. Assets under custody and/or administration ("AUC/A") and Assets under management ("AUM") AUC/A of $35.2 trillion, increased 2%, primarily reflecting higher client inflows, partially offset by lower market values and the unfavorable impact of a stronger U.S. dollar. AUM of $1.8 trillion, decreased 2%, primarily reflecting the unfavorable impact of a stronger U.S. dollar (principally versus the British pound).

KEY DRIVERS The drivers of the total revenue variances by line of business are indicated below. Asset Servicing - Both increases primarily reflect higher foreign exchange and other trading revenue. The year-over-year increase also reflects higher volumes from existing clients, partially offset by lower net interest revenue. The decrease in net interest revenue primarily reflects lower rates, partially offset by higher deposits and loans. Pershing - Both increases primarily reflect higher clearing volumes and a one-time fee.The year-over-year increase also reflects growth in client assets and accounts. Issuer Services - The year-over-year increase reflects higher Corporate Trust and Depositary Receipts fees. The sequential increase primarily reflects higher Depositary Receipts fees. Treasury Services - Both increases primarily reflect higher fees and net interest revenue. The increase in net interest revenue was driven by deposit growth. Clearance and Collateral Management - Both increases primarily reflect growth in collateral management and clearance volumes and higher net interest revenue. Noninterest expense increased slightly year-over-year primarily driven by continued investments in technology. The sequential decrease primarily reflects lower severance and litigation expenses, partially offset by higher other staff expense.

Net interest revenue decreased year-over-year, primarily reflecting lower interest rates on interest-earning assets and the impact of hedging activities (primarily offset in foreign exchange and other trading revenue). This was partially offset by the benefit of lower deposit and funding rates and higher deposits, securities and loans. Sequentially, the favorable impact of higher deposits, securities and loans was offset by the impact of hedging activities (primarily offset in foreign exchange and other trading revenue) and lower rates. THE BANK OF NEW YORK MELLON CORPORATION Condensed Consolidated Income Statement (in millions) Quarter ended March 31, 2020 December 31, 2019 March 31, 2019 Fee and other revenue Investment services fees: Asset servicing fees $ 1,159 $ 1,148 $ 1,122 Clearing services fees 470 421 398 Issuer services fees 263 264 251 Treasury services fees 149 147 132 Total investment services fees 2,041 1,980 1,903 Investment management and performance fees 862 883 841 Foreign exchange and other trading revenue 319 168 170 Financing-related fees 59 46 51 Distribution and servicing 31 34 31 Investment and other income 11 860 35 Total fee revenue 3,323 3,971 3,031 Net securities gains (losses) 9 (25) 1 Total fee and other revenue 3,332 3,946 3,032 Operations of consolidated investment management funds Investment (loss) income (38) 17 26 Interest of investment management fund note holders (Loss) income from consolidated investment management funds (38) 17 26 Net interest revenue Interest revenue 1,570 1,721 1,920 Interest expense 756 906 1,079 Net interest revenue 814 815 841 Total revenue 4,108 4,778 3,899 Provision for credit losses (a) 169 (8) 7 Noninterest expense Staff 1,482 1,639 1,524 Professional, legal and other purchased services 330 367 325 Software and equipment 326 326 283 Net occupancy 135 151 137 Sub-custodian and clearing 105 119 105 Distribution and servicing 91 92 91 Business development 42 65 45 Bank assessment charges 35 32 31 Amortization of intangible assets 26 28 29 Other 140 145 129 Total noninterest expense 2,712 2,964 2,699 Income Income before income taxes 1,227 1,822 1,193 Provision for income taxes 265 373 237 Net income 962 1,449 956 Net loss (income) attributable to noncontrolling interests (includes $18, $(9), and $(10) related to consolidated investment management funds, respectively) 18 (9) (10) Net income applicable to shareholders of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation 980 1,440 946 Preferred stock dividends (36) (49) (36) Net income applicable to common shareholders of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation $ 944 $ 1,391 $ 910 (a) In the first quarter of 2020, we adopted new accounting guidance included in ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses On Financial Instruments, on a prospective basis. Earnings per share applicable to the common shareholders of The Bank of New York MellonCorporation Quarter ended March 31,2020 December 31,2019 March 31,2019 (in dollars) Basic $ 1.05 $ 1.52 $ 0.94 Diluted $ 1.05 $ 1.52 $ 0.94 SEGMENT REPORTING CHANGES In the first quarter of 2020, we reclassified the results of certain services provided between the segments from noninterest expense to fee and other revenue. This activity is offset in the Other segment and relates to services that are also provided to third-parties and provides consistency with the reporting of the revenues. This adjustment had no impact on income before taxes of the businesses. Prior periods have been restated. In the first quarter of 2020, we reclassified the results related to certain lending activities from the Wealth Management business to the Pershing business. These loans were originated by the Wealth Management business as a service to Pershing clients. This resulted in an increase in total revenue, noninterest expense and income before taxes in the Pershing business and corresponding decrease in the Wealth Management business. Prior periods have been restated. For additional information on the segment reporting changes, see "Segment Reporting Changes" in the Financial Supplement available at www.bnymellon.com. SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION EXPLANATION OF GAAP AND NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES BNY Mellon has included in this Earnings Release certain Non-GAAP financial measures on a tangible basis as a supplement to GAAP information, which exclude goodwill and intangible assets, net of deferred tax liabilities. BNY Mellon believes that the return on tangible common equity is additional useful information for investors because it presents a measure of those assets that can generate income, and the tangible book value per common share is additional useful information because it presents the level of tangible assets in relation to shares of common stock outstanding. Net interest revenue, on a fully taxable equivalent ("FTE") basis Non-GAAP and net interest margin (FTE) Non-GAAP and other FTE measures include the tax equivalent adjustments on tax-exempt income which allows for the comparison of amounts arising from both taxable and tax-exempt sources and is consistent with industry practice. The adjustment to an FTE basis has no impact on net income. BNY Mellon has also included the operating margin for the Investment Management business net of distribution and servicing expense that was passed to third parties who distribute or service our managed funds. BNY Mellon believes that this measure is useful when evaluating the performance of the Investment Management business relative to industry competitors. For the reconciliations of these Non-GAAP measures, see "Supplemental Information - Explanation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Financial Measures" in the Financial Supplement available at www.bnymellon.com.
