Impact of coronavirus pandemic on our business

TheSee “Impact of coronavirus pandemic has had a significant effect on the global macroeconomic environment. The following discussesour business” in our 2020 Annual Report for the areas of our business that have been impacted and could continue to be impacted by the currentcoronavirus pandemic and its effect on the global macroeconomic environment. The following updates those disclosures.

Since March 2020,Short-term interest rates have remained low through the vast majorityfirst nine months of our employees have worked from home. They have2021, which resulted in lower net interest revenue and continued money market fee waivers. This has been fully operationalpartially offset by higher average deposit balances and higher money market balances compared with minimal disruption to servicing our clients. However, our continued reliance on work-from-home arrangements may result in increased operational risks.2020.

Market volatility associated with the performance of global equity and fixed income markets and lower interest rates has had, and may continueEquity market levels have continued to have, a considerable impact on all of our businesses. Our lower-risk diversified fee-based business model benefits from heightened volatility and a flight-to-quality on a relative basis compared with other credit-focused financial institutions.

Our Investment Services businesses were favorably impacted by higher client volumesimprove in the first nine months of 2020 compared with the prior year. The significant increases in market volatility also resulted2021, resulting in increased client activityasset-based fees in foreign exchange,Investment Services and higher asset servicing, clearing services in Pershing, as well as clearanceInvestment and collateral management fee revenue. However, the heightened volumes and volatility were lower in the second and third quarters of 2020 compared with the first quarter of 2020.

This volatility, coupled with the interest rate environment, also led to an increase in deposit levels from the prior year as our clients increased the levels of cash placed with us. This favorably impacted net interest revenue. However, the low interest rate environment has more than offset that benefit and is expected to continue to reduce our net interest revenue and margin.

Given the recent levels of short-term interest rates, money market mutual fund fees have been waived and may continue to be waived, which reduced fee revenue in the second and third quarters of 2020. See further discussion of money market fee waivers in “Fee and other revenue.”

As discussed above under “Key third quarter 2020 events,” we and the other CCAR firms have suspended open market common stock repurchases through the fourth quarter of 2020, and we continued our current quarterly common stock dividend of $0.31 per share. See “Recent regulatory developments” for additional information related to the 2020 CCAR.Wealth Management.

The significant changes in market values during 2020 have impacted revenue relatedmacroeconomic outlook continued to seed capital investments (net of hedges) in our Investment and Wealth Management business, which benefitedimprove through the second and thirdfirst three quarters of 2020 and negatively impacted the first quarter of 2020. The Investment and Wealth Management business continued to be negatively impacted by higher money market fee waivers2021, resulting in decreases in the secondallowance for credit losses and third quarters of 2020.

During the first quarter of 2020, we purchased $2.2 billion of commercial paper and certificates of deposit (“CDs”) from affiliated money market mutual funds in order to provide liquidity supportbenefits to the funds. We also purchased $650 million in the first quarter of 2020 and $1.1 billion in the second quarter of 2020 of commercial paper and CDs from third-party money market mutual funds and funded this purchase through the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston’s Money Market Mutual Fund Liquidity Facility (“MMLF”) program. At Sept. 30, 2020, commercial paper and CDs totaled approximately $650 million. See “Recent regulatory developments” in the First Quarter 2020 Form 10-Qprovision for additional information on the MMLF.credit losses.

The need to apply macroeconomic forecasting in the current environment in conjunction with the new expected credit loss accounting guidance has resulted inrestrictions on common stock dividends and may continue to result in heightened levels of credit loss provisioning. The continuing effects of the pandemic could also result in increased credit losses and charge-offs. The macroeconomic outlook inshare repurchases ended on June 30, 2021. In the third quarter of 2020 was fairly consistent with2021, BNY Mellon increased the second quarter

Money market fee waivers

balances, we expect to recover over 50% of the pre-tax income related to fee waivers with a 25 basis point increase in the Fed Funds rate and we expect to recover nearly 100% of the pre-tax income related to fee waivers when the Fed Funds rate increases 100 basis points.

Foreign exchange and other trading revenue decreased 9% compared with the third quarter of 2019 and 17% compared with the second quarter of 2020.

Foreign exchange revenue is primarily driven by the volume of client transactions and the spread realized
on these transactions, both of which are impacted by market volatility, and the impact of foreign currency hedging activities. In the third quarter of 2020,activities and foreign currency remeasurement gain (loss). Foreign exchange revenue totaled $151 million, an increase of 17%increased 24% compared with the third quarter of 20192020 and a decrease of 13%1% compared with the second quarter of 2020.2021. The increase compared with the third quarter of 2019 primarily reflects the impact of foreign currency hedging activity. The decrease compared with the second quarter of 2020 primarily reflects lower volumes and volatility.higher volumes. Foreign exchange revenue is primarily reported in the
Investment Services business and, to a lesser extent, the Investment and Wealth Management business and the Other segment.

Other trading losses totaled $14 million in the third quarter of 2020 compared with other trading revenue of $21 million in the third quarter of 2019Investment and other trading losses of $8 million in the second quarter of 2020. Both decreases primarily reflect lower derivative and fixed income trading and hedging, which is partially offset in net interest revenue. Other trading revenue is reported in all three business segments.

Investment and other income includes income or loss from consolidated investment management funds, seed capital gains or losses, other trading revenue or loss, renewable energy investments losses, income from corporate and bank-owned life insurance contracts, other investment gains or losses, gains or losses from disposals, expense reimbursements from our CIBC Mellon joint venture and other income or loss. The income or loss from consolidated investment management funds should be considered together with the net income or loss attributable to noncontrolling interests, which reflects the portion of the consolidated funds for which we do not have an economic interest and is reflected below net income as a separate line item on the consolidated income statement. Other trading revenue or loss primarily includes the impact of market-risk hedging activity related to our seed capital investments in investment management funds, non-foreign currency derivative and fixed income trading, and other hedging activity. Investments in renewable energy generate losses in other income that are more than offset by benefits and credits recorded to the provision for income taxes. Other investment gains or losses includes fair value changes of non-readily marketable equity securities, private equity and other investments. Expense reimbursements from our CIBC Mellon joint venture relate to expenses incurred by BNY Mellon on behalf of the CIBC Mellon joint venture. Other income or loss includes various miscellaneous revenues.

Net interest revenue decreased 4%9% compared with the third quarter of 20192020 and 10%1% compared with the second quarter of 2020.2021. The decrease compared with the third quarter of 2019 would have been 8% larger due to the impact of the third quarter 2019 lease-related impairment of $70 million. The decrease2020 primarily reflects lower interest rates on interest-earning assets and the impact of hedging activities (primarily offset in fee and other revenue). This was partially offset by the benefit of lower funding and deposit rates and funding rates, higher deposits, securities portfoliodeposit and loan balances. The decrease compared with the second quarter of 2020 was2021 primarily reflects a decline in interest-earning assets driven by lower interest rates on interest-earning assets, partially offset by the benefit of lower deposit and funding rates and a larger securities portfolio.deposits.

Net interest margin decreased 2012 basis points compared with the third quarter of 20192020 and 9 basis pointswas unchanged compared with the second quarter of 2020.2021. The decreases reflectdecrease compared with the third quarter of 2020 primarily reflects the factors mentioned above.

Average interest-earning assets increased 22%7% compared with the third quarter of 20192020 and increased slightlydecreased 2% compared with the second quarter of 2020.2021. The increase compared with the third quarter of 20192020 primarily reflects a larger securities portfoliohigher interest-bearing deposits with the Federal Reserve and higherother central banks and margin loan balances. The decrease compared with the second quarter of 2021 primarily reflects lower interest-bearing deposits with the Federal Reserve and other central banks.

Average non-U.S. dollar deposits comprised approximately 25% of our average total deposits in the third quarter of 2020.2021. Approximately 40% of the average non-U.S. dollar deposits in the third quarter of 20202021 were euro denominated.

Net interest revenue in future quartersperiods will depend on the level and mix of client deposits and deposit rates, as well as the level and shape of the yield curve, which may result in lower yields on interest-earning assets.

Due to lower interest rates, net interest revenue has been trending lower and we expect net interest revenue to decrease in 2021 compared with 2020.

(a)    Includes the average impact of offsetting under enforceable netting agreements of approximately $47 billion for the third quarter of 2021, $41 billion for the second quarter of 2021 and $43 billion for the third quarter of 2020, $67 billion for the second quarter of 2020 and $68 billion for the third quarter of 2019.2020. On a Non-GAAP basis, excluding the impact of offsetting, the yield on federal funds sold and securities purchased under resale agreements would have been 0.17% for the third quarter of 2021, 0.15% for the second quarter of 2021 and 0.26% for the third quarter of 2020 and second quarter of 2020 and 2.42% for the third quarter of 2019.2020. On a Non-GAAP basis, excluding the impact of offsetting, the rate on federal funds purchased and securities sold under repurchase agreements would have been 0.02% for the third quarter of 2021, (0.04)% for the second quarter of 2021 and 0.04% for the third quarter of 2020, 0.00% for the second quarter of 2020 and 2.17% for the third quarter of 2019.2020. We believe providing the rates excluding the impact of netting is useful to investors as it is more reflective of the actual rates earned and paid.
(b)    IncludesIn the second quarter of 2021, we reclassified the impact of hedging within the lease-related impairmentcategories comprising total investment securities to align the impact of $70 million. On a Non-GAAP basis, excludinghedging with the lease-related impairment,securities being hedged and reclassified prior periods to be comparable. The change reduced the yield on non-margin loans in domestic offices would have been 3.70%,income and average rates previously reported for U.S. government obligations and U.S. government agency obligations and increased the yield on total non-margin loans would have been 3.50%, the yield on total interest-earning assets would have been 2.72%income and the net interest margin and the net interest margin (FTE) – Non-GAAP would have been 1.09%. We believe providing theaverage rates excluding the lease-related impairment is useful to investors as it is more reflective of the actual rates earned.for Other securities.
(c)    Average rates were calculated on an FTE basis, at tax rates of approximately 21%.

On a Non-GAAP basis, excluding the impact of offsetting, the yield on federal funds sold and securities purchased under resale agreements would have been 0.17% for the first nine months of 2021 and 0.71% for the first nine months of 2020 and 2.52% for the first nine months of 2019.2020. On a Non-GAAP basis, excluding the impact of offsetting, the rate on federal funds purchased and securities sold under repurchase agreements would have been (0.01)% for the first nine months of 2021 and 0.48% for the first nine months of 2020 and 2.30% for the first nine months of 2019.2020. We believe providing the rates excluding the impact of netting is useful to investors as it is more reflective of the actual rates earned and paid.

Total noninterest expense increased 4%9% compared with the third quarter of 20192020 and decreased slightly5% compared with the second quarter of 2020.2021. The increase compared with the third quarter of 20192020 primarily reflects a reduction of previously establishedhigher revenue-related expenses and litigation reserves, for a tax-related exposure of certain investment management funds that we manage, net of staff expense. The increase compared with the third quarter of 2019 also reflects continued investments in technology, higher professional, legalgrowth, infrastructure and other purchased services expenseefficiency initiatives and the unfavorable impact of a weaker U.S. dollar, partially offset by lower staff and business development (travel and marketing) expenses.dollar. The investments in technologygrowth, infrastructure and efficiency initiatives are primarily included in staff, software and equipment, and professional, legal and other purchased services and software and equipment expenses. The slight decreaseincrease compared with the second quarter of 20202021 primarily reflects decreaseshigher litigation reserves, investments in mostgrowth, infrastructure and efficiency initiatives and higher revenue-related expenses.

We expect total reported noninterest expense categories,to increase approximately 4% for the full-year 2021 compared to 2020. This is driven by an unfavorable impact of foreign exchange rates, incremental investments in growth, infrastructure and efficiency opportunities and higher volume- and revenue-related expenses, partially offset by the 1% year-over-year impact of notable items. Notable items include increased litigation reserves in both years and in 2020 also included severance and real estate charges. Noninterest expense could be impacted if foreign exchange rates change from Sept. 30, 2021 levels, volume- and revenue-related expenses increase or there are unexpected charges or expenses.
Year-to-date 2021 compared with year-to-date 2020

Noninterest expense increased 6% compared with the first nine months of 2020, primarily reflecting investments in growth, infrastructure and efficiency initiatives, the unfavorable impact of a weaker U.S. dollar and higher professional, legalrevenue-related expenses and other purchased services expense.

Our investments in technology infrastructure and platforms are expected to continue. As a result, we expect to incur higher technology-related expenses in 2020 than in 2019 and higher pension expense as a result of a lower expected rate of return on plan assets. These increases are expected to be offset by decreases in other expenses as we continue to manage overall expenses.

Year-to-date 2020 compared with year-to-date 2019

Noninterest expense increased 2% compared with the first nine months of 2019, primarily reflecting continued investments in technology and a reduction of previously established reserves for a tax-related exposure of certain investment management funds that we manage, net of staff expense recorded in 2019, partially offset by lower business development (travel and marketing) expense.litigation reserves.

Income taxes

BNY Mellon recorded an income tax provision of $219 million (18.8% effective tax rate) in the third quarter of 2021, $213 million (18.4% effective tax rate) in the third quarter of 2020 $246and $241 million (19.1% effective tax rate) in the third quarter of 2019 and $216 million (18.3%(19.0% effective tax rate) in the second quarter of 2020.2021.

Review of businesses

We have an internal information system that produces performance data along product and service lines for our two principal businesses, Investment Services and Investment and Wealth Management, and the Other segment.

Business accounting principles

Our business data has been determined on an internal management basis of accounting, rather than the generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) used for consolidated financial reporting. These measurement principles are designed so that reported results of the businesses will track their economic performance.

For information on the accounting principles of our businesses, see Note 1918 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. For information on the primary products and services in each line of business, the primary types of revenue by business and how our businesses are presented and analyzed, see Note 24 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 20192020 Annual Report.

Business results are subject to reclassification when organizational changes are made, or for refinements in revenue and expense allocation methodologies. Refinements are typically reflected on a prospective basis. There were no significantreclassification or organizational changes in the second or third quarters of 2020. 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. The intersegment activity is eliminated 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. Also 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 a corresponding decrease in the Wealth Management business. Prior periods were restated in the first quarter of 2020 for both reclassifications.2021.

The results of our businesses may be influenced by client and other activities that vary by quarter. In the first quarter, staff expense typically increases reflecting the vesting of long-term stock awards for retirement-eligible employees. In the third quarter, Depositary Receipts revenue is typically higher due to an increased level of client dividend payments. Also in the third quarter, volume-related fees may decline
due to reduced client activity, and staff expense typically increases reflecting the annual employee merit increase. In the fourth quarter, we typically incur higher business development and marketing expenses; however, 2020 is expected to be differentwas an exception given the impact of the coronavirus pandemic. In our Investment and Wealth Management business, performance fees are typically higher in the fourth and first quarters, as those quarters represent the end of the measurement period for many of the performance fee-eligible relationships.

The results of our businesses may also be impacted by the translation of financial results denominated in foreign currencies to the U.S. dollar. We are primarily impacted by activities denominated in the British pound and the euro. On a consolidated basis and in our Investment Services business, we typically have more foreign currency-denominated expenses than revenues. However, our Investment and Wealth Management business typically has more foreign currency-denominated revenues than expenses. Overall, currency fluctuations impact the year-over-year growth rate in the Investment and Wealth Management business more than the Investment Services business. However, currency fluctuations, in isolation, are not expected to significantly impact net income on a consolidated basis.

Fee revenue in Investment and Wealth Management, and to a lesser extent in Investment Services, is impacted by the value of market indices. At Sept. 30, 2020,2021, we estimated that a 5% change in global equity markets, spread evenly throughout the year, would impact fee revenue by less than 1% and diluted earnings per common share by $0.03$0.04 to $0.06.$0.07.

See Note 1918 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for the consolidating schedules which show the contribution of our businesses to our overall profitability.

Consolidated balance sheet review

One of our key risk management objectives is to maintain a balance sheet that remains strong throughout market cycles to meet the expectations of our major stakeholders, including our shareholders, clients, creditors and regulators.

We also seek to undertake overall liquidity risk, including intraday liquidity risk, that stays within our risk appetite. The objective of our balance sheet management strategy is to maintain a balance sheet that is characterized by strong liquidity and asset quality, ready access to external funding sources at competitive rates and a strong capital structure that supports our risk-taking activities and is adequate to absorb potential losses. In managing the balance
sheet, appropriate consideration is given to balancing the competing needs of maintaining sufficient levels of liquidity and complying with applicable regulations and supervisory expectations while optimizing profitability.

Events in recent years have resulted in increased focus on Italy and Brazil. The country risk exposure to Italy primarily consists of investment grade sovereign debt. The country risk exposure to Brazil is primarily short-term trade finance loans extended to large financial institutions. We also have operations in Brazil providing investment services and investment management services.


Securities

In the discussion of our securities portfolio, we have included certain credit ratings information because the information can indicate the degree of credit risk to which we are exposed. Significant changes in ratings classifications for our securities portfolio could indicate increased credit risk for us and could be accompanied by an increase in the allowance for credit losses and/or a reduction in the fair value of our securities portfolio.

The provision for credit losses was a benefit of $9$45 million in the third quarter of 2020 reflects a fairly consistent2021, primarily driven by an improved macroeconomic outlook compared with the second quarter of 2020.forecast.

We had $13.5$20.8 billion of secured margin loans on our balance sheet at Sept. 30, 20202021 compared with $13.4$15.4 billion at Dec. 31, 2019.2020. We have rarely suffered a loss on these types of loans. As a result, we believe that the ratio of allowance for loan losses and lending-related commitments as a percentage of non-
marginnon-margin loans is a more appropriate metric to measure the adequacy of the reserve.

The allowance for loan losses and allowance for lending-related commitments represent management’s estimate of lifetime expected losses in our credit portfolio. This evaluation process is subject to numerous estimates and judgments. To the extent actual results differ from forecasts or management’s judgment, the allowance for credit losses may be greater or less than future charge-offs.

(b)    Includes the allowance for credit losses on wealth management mortgages.


The allocation of the allowance for credit losses is inherently judgmental, and the entire allowance for credit losses is available to absorb credit losses regardless of the nature of the losses.

Our allowance for credit losses is sensitive to a number of inputs, most notably the credit ratings assigned to each borrower, as well as macroeconomic forecast assumptions that are incorporated in our estimate of credit losses through the expected life of the loan portfolio. Thus, as the macroeconomic environment and related forecasts change, the allowance for credit losses may change materially. The following sensitivity analyses do not represent management’s expectations of the deterioration of our portfolios or the economic environment, but are provided as hypothetical scenarios to assess the sensitivity of the allowance for credit losses to changes in key inputs. If each credit were rated one grade better, the quantitative allowance would have decreased by $119$67 million, and if each credit were rated one grade worse, the quantitative allowance would have increased by $146$125 million. Our multi-scenario based macroeconomic forecast used in determining the Sept. 30, 20202021 allowance for credit losses consisted of three recessionary scenarios, each of varying severity and duration.scenarios. The baseline scenario reflects moderate and flat GDP growth and unemployment recovery across most key variables, whereasand stable commercial real estate prices through mid-2022 that begin to increase in the second half of 2022. The upside scenario is principally a V-shapedreflects faster GDP growth and unemployment recovery and higher commercial real estate prices compared with the baseline. The downside scenario is reflective of W-shaped recovery incontemplates negative GDP growth throughout 2021 and increasing unemployment through 2022 and deeper reductions in assetlower commercial real estate prices compared tothan the baseline. WeConsistent with the first and second quarters of 2021, we placed the most weight on our baseline scenario,
with the remaining weighting resulting in slightly
more weight placed on the downside scenario than the upside scenario. From a sensitivity perspective, at Sept. 30, 2020,2021, if we had applied 100% weighting to the downside scenario, the quantitative allowance for credit losses would have been approximately $245$110 million higher.

Lost interest

Interest revenue would have increased by $1 million in the third quarter of 2020,2021, second quarter of 20202021 and the third quarter of 20192020, $3 million in the first nine months of 2021 and $4 million in the first nine months of 2020, and first nine months of 2019, if nonperforming loans at period-end had been performing for the entire respective periods.

Loan modifications

Due to the coronavirus pandemic, there have been two forms of relief provided for classifying loans as troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”): The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the
30 BNY Mellon


(the “CARES Act”), the relevant provisions of which were extended by the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021, and the Interagency Guidance. See Note 21 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of our 2020 Annual Report for additional details on this guidance. Financial institutions may account for eligible loan modifications either under the CARES Act or the Interagency Guidance and we have elected to apply both, as applicable, in providing borrowers with loan modification relief in response to the coronavirus pandemic. We modified loans of $23 million in the third quarter of 2021, $106 million in the third quarter of 2020 and $282$3 million in the second quarter of 2020.2021. Nearly all of the modifications were short-term loan payment forbearances or modified principal and/or interest payments. These loans were primarily residential mortgage and commercial real estate loans. We also modified loans of $56 million in the third quarter of 2020, a majority of which were commercial real estate loans, by providing long-term loan payment modifications and an extension of maturity. We did not identify any of the modifications as TDRs. NoneThere were no long-term loan modifications in the third quarter of these loans were reported as past due or nonperforming at Sept. 30, 2020.2021 and second quarter of 2021. At Sept. 30, 2020,2021, the unpaid principal balance of the loans modified under the CARES Act or Interagency Guidance was $174$94 million. We modified residential mortgage loans of $4 million in the third quarter of 2019.

Deposits

Increased volatility coupled with the interest rate environment has led to an increase in deposit levels as our clients increased the levels of cash placed with us. Total deposits were $296.3$343.1 billion at Sept. 30, 2020,2021, an increase, of 14%, compared with $259.5$341.5 billion at Dec. 31, 2019.2020. The increase primarily reflects higher noninterest-bearing deposits (principally U.S. offices), partially offset by lower interest-bearing deposits in both non-U.S. and U.S. offices.

Noninterest-bearing deposits were $79.5$100.5 billion at Sept. 30, 2020,2021 compared with $57.6$83.8 billion at Dec.
31, 2019.2020. Interest-bearing deposits were $216.8$242.6 billion at Sept. 30, 2020,2021, compared with $201.9$257.7 billion at Dec. 31, 2019. See “Impact of coronavirus pandemic on our business” for additional information.2020.

Short-term borrowings

We fund ourselves primarily through deposits and, to a lesser extent, other short-term borrowings and long-term debt. Short-term borrowings consist of federal
funds purchased and securities sold under repurchase agreements, payables to customers and broker-dealers, commercial paper and other borrowed funds. Certain short-term borrowings, for example, securities sold under repurchase agreements, require the delivery of securities as collateral.

Information related to federal funds purchased and securities sold under repurchase agreements is presented below.

Liquidity and dividends

BNY Mellon defines liquidity as the ability of the Parent and its subsidiaries to access funding or convert assets to cash quickly and efficiently, or to roll over or issue new debt, especially during periods of market stress, at a reasonable cost, and in order to meet its short-term (up to one year) obligations. Funding liquidity risk is the risk that BNY Mellon cannot meet its cash and collateral obligations at a reasonable cost for both expected and unexpected cash flow and collateral needs without adversely affecting daily operations or our financial condition. Funding liquidity risk can arise from funding mismatches, market constraints from the inability to convert assets into cash, the inability to hold or raise

BNY Mellon 31


cash, low overnight deposits, deposit run-off or contingent liquidity events.

32 BNY Mellon


Changes in economic conditions or exposure to credit, market, operational, legal and reputational risks also can affect BNY Mellon’s liquidity risk profile and are considered in our liquidity risk framework. See “Impact of coronavirus pandemic onFor additional information, see “Risk Management – Liquidity Risk” in our business” for additional information.2020 Annual Report.

The Parent’s policy is to have access to sufficient unencumbered cash and cash equivalents at each quarter-end to cover maturities and other forecasted debt redemptions, net interest payments and net tax payments for the following 18-month period, and to provide sufficient collateral to satisfy transactions subject to Section 23A of the Federal Reserve Act. As of Sept. 30, 2020,2021, the Parent was in compliance with this policy.

For additional information on our liquidity policy, see “Risk Management - Liquidity Risk” in our 2019 Annual Report.

We monitor and control liquidity exposures and funding needs within and across significant legal entities, branches, currencies and business lines,
taking into account, among other factors, any applicable restrictions on the transfer of liquidity among entities.

BNY Mellon also manages potential intraday liquidity risks. We monitor and manage intraday liquidity against existing and expected intraday liquid resources (such as cash balances, remaining intraday credit capacity, intraday contingency funding and available collateral) to enable BNY Mellon to meet its intraday obligations under normal and reasonably severe stressed conditions.

We define available funds for internal liquidity management purposes as cash and due from banks, interest-bearing deposits with the Federal Reserve and other central banks, interest-bearing deposits with banks and federal funds sold and securities purchased under resale agreements. The following table presents our total available funds at period end and on an average basis.

Parent will pay dividends on the Series H Preferred Stock, if declared by its board of directors, on each March 20, June 20, September 20 and December 20, commencing on March 20, 2021,2024 at an annual interest rate equal to 3.70% from the original issue date to but excluding, March 20, 2026; and at aof 0.85%, $400 million of floating rate equal to the five-year treasurysenior notes maturing in 2024 at an annual interest rate (as defined in the certificate of designations) on the date that is three business days prior to the reset date plus 3.352% for each reset period, from and including March 20, 2026. The floating rate will initially reset on March 20, 2026 and subsequently on each date falling on the fifth anniversary of the preceding reset date.

The Parent will use the net proceeds, after deducting the underwriting discountcompounded secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”) plus 20 basis points and estimated offering

On Nov. 4, 2020, the Parent issued a notice of redemption to the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock to redeem in full the Series C Preferred Stock on Dec. 20, 2020. Deferred fees of approximately $15 million will be realized as preferred stock dividends upon redemption.

The Bank of New York Mellon may issue notes and CDs. At Sept. 30, 20202021 and Dec. 31, 2019 there were $137 million and $1.1 billion, respectively, of CDs outstanding. At Sept. 30, 2020, and Dec. 31, 2019, $30
million and $1.3 billion, respectively, of notes were outstanding. There were no CDs outstanding at Sept. 30, 2021 and $100 million was outstanding at Dec. 31, 2020.

The Bank of New York Mellon also issues commercial paper that matures within 397 days from the date of issue and is not redeemable prior to maturity or subject to voluntary prepayment. There was no commercial paper outstanding at Sept. 30, 2021 and Dec. 31, 2020. The average commercial paper outstanding was $4 million for the first nine months of 2021 and $1.4 billion for the first nine months ended Sept. 30, 2020 and $2.7 billion for the nine months ended Sept. 30, 2019. Commercial paper outstanding was $671 million at Sept. 30, 2020 and $4.0 billion at Dec. 31, 2019.of 2020.

Subsequent to Sept. 30, 2020,2021, our U.S. bank subsidiaries could declare dividends to the Parent of approximately $973 million,$1.5 billion, without the need for a regulatory waiver. In addition, at Sept. 30, 2020, 2021,
34 BNY Mellon


non-bank subsidiaries of the Parent had liquid assets of approximately $1.6$3.9 billion. Restrictions on our ability to obtain funds from our subsidiaries are discussed in more detail in “Supervision and Regulation - Capital Planning and Stress Testing - Payment of Dividends, Stock Repurchases and Other Capital Distributions” and in Note 19 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, both in our 20192020 Annual Report.

Pershing LLC has uncommitted lines of credit in place for liquidity purposes which are guaranteed by the Parent. Pershing LLC has two separate uncommitted lines of credit amounting to $350 million in aggregate. Average borrowings under these lines were $4 million in aggregate, in the third quarter of 2020.2021. Pershing Limited, an indirect UK-based subsidiary of BNY Mellon, has threetwo separate uncommitted lines of credit amounting to $350$266 million in aggregate. Average borrowings under
these lines were $4$30 million, in aggregate, in the third quarter of 2020.

BNY Mellon Capital Markets, LLC also has an uncommitted line of credit in place for $100 million for liquidity purposes. There were no borrowings under this line in the third quarter of 2020.2021.

The double leverage ratio is the ratio of our equity investment in subsidiaries divided by our consolidated Parent company equity, which includes our noncumulative perpetual preferred stock. In short, the double leverage ratio measures the extent to which equity in subsidiaries is financed by Parent company debt. As the double leverage ratio increases, this can reflect greater demands on a company’s cash flows in order to service interest payments and debt maturities. BNY Mellon’s double leverage ratio is managed in a range considering the high level of unencumbered available liquid assets held in its principal subsidiaries (such as central bank deposit placements and government securities), the Company’s cash generating fee-based business model, with fee revenue representing 81% of total revenue in the third quarter of 2020,2021, and the dividend capacity of our banking subsidiaries. Our double leverage ratio was 115.4%117.7% at Sept. 30, 20202021 and 116.9%114.3% at Dec. 31, 2019,2020, and within the range targeted by management.

Uses of funds

The Parent’s major uses of funds are repurchases of common stock, payment of dividends, principal and interest payments on its borrowings, acquisitions and additional investments in its subsidiaries.

In August 2020,2021, a quarterly cash dividend of $0.31$0.34 per common share was paid to common shareholders. Our common stock dividend payout ratio was 32%33% for the third quarter of 2020.2021.

In the third quarter of 2020,2021, we repurchased 15.1 thousand38.1 million common shares from employees, primarily in connection with the employees’ payment of taxes upon the vesting of restricted stock, at an average price of $36.65$52.55 per common share, for a total cost of less than $1 million.

In June 2020, the Federal Reserve announced that it would require participating CCAR firms, including us, to update and resubmit their capital plans and that, as a result, unless otherwise approved by the Federal

34 BNY Mellon


Reserve, participating firms were not permitted, during the third quarter of 2020, to conduct open market common stock repurchases, to increase their common stock dividends or to pay common stock dividends that exceed average net income for the preceding four quarters. On Sept. 30, 2020, the Federal Reserve extended these limitations through the fourth quarter of 2020.

BNY Mellon intends to resume the common stock repurchase program as early as possible, depending on factors such as prevailing market conditions, our outlook for the economic environment and the additional capital analysis required by the Federal Reserve. See “Recent regulatory developments” for additional information related to the 2020 CCAR.$2.0 billion.

Liquidity coverage ratio (“LCR”)

U.S. regulators have established an LCR that requires certain banking organizations, including BNY Mellon, to maintain a minimum amount of unencumbered high-quality liquid assets (“HQLA”) sufficient to withstand the net cash outflow under a hypothetical standardized acute liquidity stress scenario for a 30-day time horizon.

The following table presents BNY Mellon’s consolidated HQLA at Sept. 30, 2020,2021, and the average HQLA and average LCR for the third quarter of 2020.2021.

BNY Mellon and each of our affected domestic bank subsidiaries were compliant with the U.S. LCR requirements of at least 100% throughout the third quarter of 2020.2021.

Statement of cash flows

The following summarizes the activity reflected on the consolidated statement of cash flows. While this information may be helpful to highlight certain macro trends and business strategies, the cash flow analysis may not be as relevant when analyzing changes in our net earnings and net assets. We believe that in addition to the traditional cash flow analysis, the
BNY Mellon 35


discussion related to liquidity and dividends and asset/liability management herein may provide more useful context in evaluating our liquidity position and related activity.

Net cash provided byused for operating activities was $291 million in the nine months ended Sept. 30, 2021, compared with net cash provided by operations of $5.9 billion in the nine months ended Sept. 30, 2020, compared with $2.6 billion in2020. In the nine months ended Sept. 30, 2019.2021 cash flows used for operations primarily resulted from changes in trading assets and liabilities, partially offset by earnings. In the nine months ended Sept. 30, 2020, cash flows provided by operations primarily resulted from earnings and changes in trading assets and liabilities. In the nine months ended Sept. 30, 2019, cash flows provided by operations primarily resulted from earnings, partially offset by changes in trading assets and liabilities.

Net cash used for investing activities was $259 million in the nine months ended Sept. 30, 2021, compared with $44.3 billion in the nine months ended Sept. 30, 2020, compared with $5.2 billion in2020. In the nine months ended Sept. 30, 2019.2021, net cash used for investing activities primarily reflects the net change in loans and securities, offset
by changes in interest-bearing deposits with the Federal Reserve and other central banks. In the nine months ended Sept. 30, 2020, net cash used for investing activities primarily reflects net changes in securities and changes in interest-bearing deposits with the Federal Reserve and other central banks. In the nine months ended Sept. 30, 2019, net cash used for investing activities primarily reflects changes in interest-bearing deposits with the Federal Reserve and other central banks, partially offset by changes in federal funds sold and securities purchased under resale agreements.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $2.2 billion in the nine months ended Sept. 30, 2021, compared with $38.1 billion in the nine months ended Sept. 30, 2020, compared with $3.5 billion in2020. In the nine months ended Sept. 30, 2019.2021, net cash provided by financing activities primarily reflects changes in deposits, issuances of long-term debt and changes in payables to customers and broker-dealers, partially offset by repayments of long-term debt and common stock repurchases. In the nine months ended Sept. 30, 2020, net cash provided by financing activity reflects changes in deposits, payables to customers and broker-dealers and federal funds purchased and securities sold under repurchase agreements, partially offset by changes in commercial paper. In the nine months ended Sept. 30, 2019, net cash provided by financing activities primarily reflects changes in deposits and net proceeds from the issuance of long-term debt, partially offset by repayments of long-term debt, changes in federal funds purchased and

The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation total shareholders’ equity increaseddecreased to $44.9$43.6 billion at Sept. 30, 20202021 from $41.5$45.8 billion at Dec. 31, 2019.2020. The increasedecrease primarily reflects earnings,common stock repurchases, dividend payments and unrealized gainslosses on assetssecurities available-for-sale, and the issuance of preferred stock in May 2020, partially offset by common stock repurchases and dividend payments.

In May 2020, the Parent issued 1,000,000 depositary shares, each representing a 1/100th interest in a share of the Parent’s Series G Noncumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock (the “Series G Preferred Stock”). The Series G Preferred Stock has a liquidation preference of $100,000 per share. The Parent will pay dividends on the Series G Preferred Stock, if declared by its board of directors, on each March 20 and September 20, at an annual rate equal to 4.70% from the original issue date to but excluding, Sept. 20, 2025; and at a floating rate equal to the five-year treasury rate (as defined in the certificate of designations) on the date that is three business days prior to the reset date plus 4.358% for each reset period, from and including Sept. 20, 2025. The floating rate will initially reset on Sept. 20, 2025 and subsequently on each date falling on the fifth anniversary of the preceding reset date.

In November 2020, the Parent issued 582,500 depositary shares, each representing a 1/100th interest in a share of the Parent’s Series H Noncumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock (the “Series H Preferred Stock”). The Series H Preferred Stock has a liquidation preference of $100,000 per share. The Parent will pay dividends on the Series H Preferred Stock, if declared by its board of directors, on each March 20, June 20, September 20 and December 20, commencing on March 20, 2021, at an annual rate equal to 3.70% from the original issue date to but excluding, March 20, 2026; and at a floating rate equal to the five-year treasury rate (as defined in the certificate of designations) on the date that is three business days prior to the reset date plus 3.352% for each reset period, from and including March 20, 2026. The floating rate will initially reset on March 20, 2026 and subsequently on each date falling on the fifth anniversary of the preceding reset date.

The Parent will use the net proceeds, after deducting the underwriting discount and estimated offering expenses, of approximately $575 million from the sale of the depositary shares to redeem all outstanding shares of the Series C Preferred Stock. On Nov. 4, 2020, the Parent issued a notice of redemption to the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock to redeem in full the Series C Preferred Stock on Dec. 20, 2020.

The unrealized gain (after-tax) on our available-for-sale securities portfolio, net of hedges, included in accumulated OCIother comprehensive income was $1.4 billion$703 million at Sept. 30, 2020,2021, compared with $361 million$1.5 billion at Dec. 31, 2019.2020. The increasedecrease in the unrealized gain, net of tax, was primarily driven by lowerhigher market interest rates.

In the first nine months ended Sept. 30, 2020,of 2021, we repurchased 21.867.7 million common shares at an average price of $45.43$49.03 per common share for a total of $988 million, nearly all$3.3 billion.

In December 2020, the Federal Reserve released the results of which were repurchased priorthe second round of CCAR stress tests during 2020 and extended the restriction on common stock dividends and open market common stock repurchases applicable to participating CCAR BHCs, including us, to the first quarter of 2021, with certain modifications. In March 2021, the Federal Reserve extended these restrictions through the second quarter of 2021. The temporary suspension ofrestrictions on dividends and share repurchases in March 2020.ended for BNY Mellon after June 30, 2021. After these temporary restrictions were lifted, BNY Mellon continued to be subject to the stress capital buffer (“SCB”) framework, which would impose restrictions on capital distributions on an incremental basis if BNY Mellon’s risk-based capital ratios decline into the buffer zone.

In June 2020,2021, the Federal Reserve announced that it would require participating CCAR firms, including us,released the results of its stress tests for 2021. Our Board of Directors subsequently authorized the repurchase of up to update and resubmit their capital plans and that, as a result, unless otherwise approved by$6.0
billion of common shares over the Federal Reserve, participating firms were not permitted, duringsix quarters beginning in the third quarter of 2020, to conduct open market common stock repurchases, to increase their common stock dividends or to pay common stock dividends that exceed average net income for the preceding four quarters. On Sept. 30, 2020, the Federal Reserve extended these limitations2021 and continuing through the fourth quarter of 2020.2022. This new share repurchase plan replaced all previously authorized share repurchase plans.

BNY Mellon intends to resume the common stock repurchase program as early as possible, depending on factors such as prevailing market conditions, our outlook for the economic environment and the additional capital analysis required by the Federal Reserve. For additional information, see “Recent regulatory developments.”
Capital adequacy

Regulators establish certain levels of capital for bank holding companies (“BHCs”)BHCs and banks, including BNY Mellon and our bank subsidiaries, in accordance with established quantitative measurements. For the Parent to maintain its status as a financial holding company (“FHC”), our U.S. bank subsidiaries and BNY Mellon must, among other things, qualify as “well capitalized.” As of Sept. 30, 20202021 and Dec. 31, 2019,2020, BNY Mellon and our U.S. bank subsidiaries were “well capitalized.”

Failure to satisfy regulatory standards, including “well capitalized” status or capital adequacy rules more generally, could result in limitations on our activities and adversely affect our financial condition. See the discussion of these matters in “Supervision and Regulation - Regulated Entities of BNY Mellon and Ancillary Regulatory Requirements” and “Risk Factors - Operational Risk - Failure to satisfy regulatory standards, including “well capitalized” and “well managed” status or capital adequacy and liquidity rules more generally, could result in limitations on our activities and adversely affect our
business and financial condition,” both of which are in our 20192020 Annual Report.

The U.S. banking agencies’ capital rules are based on the framework adopted by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (“BCBS”), as amended from time to time. For additional information on these capital requirements, see “Supervision and Regulation” in our 20192020 Annual Report and “Recent regulatory developments” in this Form 10-Q.Report.

Our CET1 ratio determinedunder the Standardized Approach was 11.7% at Sept. 30, 2021 and 13.1% at Dec. 31, 2020 under the Advanced ApproachesApproaches. The decrease was 13.0% at Sept. 30, 2020primarily driven by common stock repurchases, dividend payments, unrealized losses on securities available-for-sale and 11.5% at Dec. 31, 2019. Thean increase primarily reflects capital generated through earnings and unrealized gains on assets available-for-sale,in RWAs, partially offset by capital deployedgenerated through common stock repurchased, prior to the temporary suspension of share repurchases that began in March 2020, and dividend payments.earnings.

Our operational loss risk model is informedTier 1 leverage was 5.7% at Sept. 30, 2021, compared with 6.0% at June 30, 2021. The decrease reflects lower Tier 1 common equity driven by external losses, including finescommon share repurchases, partially offset by lower average assets.

Capital ratios vary depending on the size of the balance sheet at period-end and penalties levied against institutionsthe levels and types of investments in assets. The balance sheet size fluctuates from period to period based on levels of customer and market activity. In general, when servicing clients are more actively trading securities, deposit balances and the financial services industry, particularly those that relate to businesses in which we operate, andbalance sheet as a result external losses havewhole are higher. In addition, when markets experience

Our capital ratios are necessarily subject to, among other things, anticipated compliance with all necessary enhancements to model calibration, approval by regulators of certain models used as part of RWA calculations, other refinements, further implementation guidance from regulators, market practices and standards and any changes BNY Mellon may make to its businesses. As a consequence of these factors, our capital ratios may materially change, and may be volatile over time and from period to period.

Under the Advanced Approaches, our operational loss risk model is informed by external losses, including fines and penalties levied against institutions in the financial services industry, particularly those that relate to businesses in which we operate, and as a

Capital ratios vary depending on the size of the balance sheet at period end and the levels and types of investments in assets. The balance sheet size fluctuates from period to period based on levels of customer and market activity. In general, when servicing clients are more actively trading securities, deposit balances and the balance sheet as a whole are higher. In addition, when markets experience significant volatility or stress, our balance sheet size may increase considerably as client deposit levels increase.

EffectiveFrom April 1, 2020 custody banks, including BNY Mellon and The Bank of New York Mellon, are permitted to exclude certain central bank placements from leverage exposure used in the SLR calculation. Also, effective April 1, 2020 and lasting through March 31, 2021, BHCs arewere permitted to temporarily exclude U.S. Treasury securities from thetotal leverage exposure used in the SLR calculation. This temporary exclusion increased our consolidated SLR by 7872 basis points at Sept. 30, 2020Dec. 31, 2020. The temporary exclusion also impacted the TLAC and 40 basis points at June 30, 2020. See “SupervisionLTD calculations. BNY Mellon and Regulation”The Bank of New York Mellon, as custody banks, will continue to be able to exclude certain central bank placements from the total leverage exposure used in ourthe SLR calculation, consistent with the amendments to the SLR finalized by the U.S. banking agencies in 2019 Annual Reportpursuant to the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and “Recent regulatory developments” in our First Quarter 2020 Form 10-Q for additional information.Consumer Protection Act.

Stress capital buffer

In August 2020,2021, the Federal Reserve announced that BNY Mellon’s SCB requirement would be 2.5%, equal to the regulatory minimum,floor, effective as of Oct. 1, 2020.2021. The SCB replacesreplaced the currentstatic 2.5% capital conservation buffer for Standardized Approach capital ratios.ratios for CCAR BHCs. The SCB does not apply to bank subsidiaries, which remain subject to the static 2.5% capital conservation buffer. See “Recent regulatory developments” for additional information on the SCB.

The SCB final rule generally eliminates the requirement for prior approval of common stock repurchases in excess of the distributions in a firm’s capital plan, provided that such distributions are consistent with applicable capital requirements and buffers, including the SCB. In conjunction with the release of the 2020 CCAR results, the Federal Reserve has imposed restrictions on capital distributions for the third quarter of 2020, which have been extended through the fourth quarter of 2020. For more detail
regarding these restrictions, see “Recent regulatory developments - CCAR 2020 results” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Total Loss-Absorbing Capacity (“TLAC”)

The final TLAC rule establishing external TLAC, external long-term debt (“LTD”) and related requirements for U.S. G-SIBs, including BNY Mellon, at the top-tier holding company level became effective on Jan. 1, 2019. The following summarizes the minimum requirements for BNY Mellon’s external TLAC and external LTD ratios, plus currently applicable buffers.

External TLAC consists of the Parent’s Tier 1 capital and eligible unsecured LTD issued by it that has a remaining term to maturity of at least one year and satisfies certain other conditions. Eligible LTD consists of the unpaid principal balance of eligible unsecured debt securities, subject to haircuts for amounts due to be paid within two years, that satisfy certain other conditions. Debt issued prior to Dec. 31, 2016 has been permanently grandfathered to the extent these instruments otherwise would be ineligible only due to containing impermissible acceleration rights or being governed by foreign law.

Trading activities and risk management

Our trading activities are focused on acting as a market-maker for our customers, facilitating customer trades and risk mitigatingrisk-mitigating hedging in compliance with the Volcker Rule. The risk from market-making activities for customers is managed by our traders and limited in total exposure through a system of position limits, value-at-risk (“VaR”) methodology and other market sensitivity measures. VaR is the potential loss in value due to adverse market movements over a defined time horizon with a specified confidence level. The calculation of our VaR used by management and presented below assumes a one-day holding period, utilizes a 99% confidence level and incorporates non-linear product characteristics. VaR facilitates comparisons across portfolios of different risk characteristics. VaR also captures the diversification of aggregated risk at the firm-wide level.

VaR represents a key risk management measure and it is important to note the inherent limitations to VaR, which include:
VaR does not estimate potential losses over longer time horizons where moves may be extreme;

VaR does not take account of potential variability of market liquidity; and
Previous moves in market risk factors may not produce accurate predictions of all future market moves.

See Note 1716 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on the VaR methodology.

The following tables indicate the calculated VaR amounts for the trading portfolio for the designated periods using the historical simulation VaR model.

The interest rate component of VaR represents instruments whose values are predominantly driven by interest rate levels. These instruments include, but are not limited to, U.S. Treasury securities, swaps, swaptions, forward rate agreements, exchange-traded futures and options, and other interest rate derivative products.

The foreign exchange component of VaR represents instruments whose values predominantly vary with the level or volatility of currency exchange rates or interest rates. These instruments include, but are not limited to, currency balances, spot and forward transactions, currency options and other currency derivative products.

The equity component of VaR consists of instruments that represent an ownership interest in the form of domestic and foreign common stock or other equity-linked instruments. These instruments include, but are not limited to, common stock, exchange-traded funds, preferred stock, listed equity options (puts and calls), OTC equity options, equity total return swaps, equity index futures and other equity derivative products.

The credit component of VaR represents instruments whose values are predominantly driven by credit spread levels, i.e., idiosyncratic default risk. These instruments include, but are not limited to, securities with exposures from corporate and municipal credit spreads.

The diversification component of VaR is the risk reduction benefit that occurs when combining
portfolios and offsetting positions, and from the correlated behavior of risk factor movements.

During the third quarter of 2020,2021, interest rate risk generated 29%35% of average gross VaR, foreign exchange risk generated 36%38% of average gross VaR, equity risk generated 4%2% of average gross VaR and credit risk generated 31%25% of average gross VaR.

Trading assets include debt and equity instruments and derivative assets, primarily interest rate and foreign exchange contracts, not designated as hedging instruments. Trading assets were $13.1$17.9 billion at Sept. 30, 20202021 and $13.6$15.3 billion at Dec. 31, 2019.2020.

Trading liabilities include debt and equity instruments and derivative liabilities, primarily interest rate and foreign exchange contracts, not designated as hedging instruments. Trading liabilities were $6.1$5.2 billion at Sept. 30, 20202021 and $4.8$6.0 billion at Dec. 31, 2019.2020.

Under our fair value methodology for derivative contracts, an initial “risk-neutral” valuation is performed on each position assuming time-discounting based on a AA credit curve. In addition, we consider credit risk in arriving at the fair value of our derivatives.

42 BNY Mellon


We reflect external credit ratings as well as observable credit default swap spreads for both ourselves and our counterparties when measuring the fair value of our derivative positions. Accordingly, the valuation of our derivative positions is sensitive to the current changes in our own credit spreads, as well as those of our counterparties.

At Sept. 30, 2020,2021, our OTC derivative assets, including those in hedging relationships, of $4.2$4.4 billion included a credit valuation adjustment (“CVA”) deduction of $39$27 million. Our OTC derivative liabilities, including those in hedging relationships, of $3.6$3.1 billion included a debit valuation adjustment (“DVA”) of $1$2 million related to our own credit spread. Net of hedges, the CVA decreased by $3increased less than $1 million and the DVA was unchanged in the third quarter of 2020,2021, which increased foreign exchange anddecreased other trading revenue by $3less than $1 million.

Asset/liability management

Our diversified business activities include processing securities, accepting deposits, investing in securities, lending, raising money as needed to fund assets and other transactions. The market risks from these activities include interest rate risk and foreign exchange risk. Our primary market risk is exposure to movements in U.S. dollar interest rates and certain foreign currency interest rates. We actively manage interest rate sensitivity and use earnings simulation and discounted cash flow models to identify interest rate exposures.

An earnings simulation model is the primary tool used to assess changes in pre-tax net interest revenue. revenue between a baseline scenario and hypothetical interest rate scenarios. Interest rate sensitivity is quantified by calculating the change in pre-tax net interest revenue between the scenarios over a 12-month measurement period.

The modelbaseline scenario incorporates the market’s forward rate expectations and management’s assumptions regarding interestclient deposit rates, marketcredit spreads, changes in the prepayment behavior of loans and securities and the impact of derivative financial instruments used for interest rate risk management purposes. These assumptions have been developed
through a combination of historical analysis and future expected pricing behavior and are inherently uncertain. Actual results may differ materially from projected results due to timing, magnitude and frequency of interest rate changes, and changes in market conditions and management’s strategies, among other factors.

In Client deposit levels and mix are key assumptions impacting net interest revenue in the table below, we usebaseline as well as the hypothetical interest rate scenarios. The earnings simulation model to run various interest rate ramp scenarios from a baseline scenario. The interest rate ramp scenarios examine the impact of large interest rate movements. In each scenario, all currencies’ interest rates are shifted higher or lower. The 100 basis point ramp scenario assumes rates change 25 basis points above or below the yield curve in each of the next four quarters and the 200 basis point ramp scenario assumes a 50 basis point per quarter change. Interest rate sensitivity is quantified by calculating the change in pre-tax net interest revenue between the scenarios over a 12-month measurement period. The net interest revenue sensitivity methodology assumes static deposit levels and mix and it also assumes that no management actions will be taken to mitigate the effects of interest rate changes. Typically, the baseline scenario uses the average deposit balances of the quarter.

In the table below, we use the earnings simulation model to assess the impact of various hypothetical interest rate scenarios compared to the baseline scenario. Beginning in the third quarter of 2021, we have refined our scenario analysis by replacing gradual rate ramp scenarios with scenarios that reflect the impact of instantaneous interest rate shock movements. In each of the new scenarios, all currencies’ interest rates are instantaneously shifted higher or lower. The scenarios assume instantaneous rate changes at the start of the forecast. Long-term interest rates are defined as all tenors equal to or greater than three years and short-term interest rates are defined as all tenors equal to or less than three months. Interim term points are interpolated where applicable. The refined scenarios are intended to provide information on a basis that is consistent with industry practice.

The following table shows net interest revenue sensitivity for BNY Mellon. Prior periods have been updated to reflect the impact of instantaneous interest rate shock movements.

The down 100 basis point scenario was impacted by a change in our deposit assumptions. Specifically, we increased the amount ofcalculations assume static deposit balances to which wefacilitate consistent period-over-period comparisons, it is likely that a portion of the recent monetary policy-driven deposit inflows would pass through negative central bank ratesrun-off in the scenario.a rising short-term rate environment. Noninterest-bearing deposits are particularly sensitive to changes in short-term rates.

To illustrate the net interest revenue sensitivity to deposit runoff, we note that a $5 billion instantaneous reduction of U.S. dollar denominated noninterest-bearing deposits would reduce the net interest revenue sensitivity results in the ramp up 100 basis point and 200 basis point scenariosscenario in the table above by approximately $30 million and approximately $65 million, respectively.$60 million. The impact would be smaller if the runoffrun-off was assumed to be a mixture of interest-bearing and noninterest-bearing deposits.

Additionally, given the continued low short-term interest rates, money market mutual fund fees and other similar fees are being waived to protect investors from negative returns. See “Fee and other revenue” beginning on page 7 for additional details on the impact of money market fee waivers on fee revenues.

For a discussion of factors impacting the growth or contraction of deposits, see “Risk Factors - Our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected if we do not effectively manage our liquidity”liquidity,” in our 20192020 Annual Report.

Off-balance sheet arrangements

Off-balance sheet arrangements discussed in this section are limited to certain guarantees, retained or contingent interests and obligations arising out of unconsolidated variable interest entities (“VIEs”). Guarantees include SBLCs issued as part of our corporate banking business and securities lending indemnifications issued as part of our Investment Services business. See Note 18 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a further discussion of our off-balance sheet arrangements.

Supplemental information Explanation of GAAP and Non-GAAP financial measures

BNY Mellon has included in this Form 10-Q certain Non-GAAP financial measures on a tangible basis as a supplement to generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”)GAAP information, which exclude goodwill and intangible assets, net of deferred tax liabilities. We believe that the return on tangible common equity – Non-GAAP 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 – Non-GAAP is additional useful information because it presents the level of tangible assets in relation to shares of common stock outstanding.

BNY Mellon has presented the measure of fee revenue, excluding money market fee waivers – Non-GAAP. We believe that this measure is useful information for investors for evaluating the impact of current interest rates and market conditions on fee revenue growth rates and the performance of our business.

The presentation of the growth rates of investment management and performance fees on a constant currency basis permits investors to assess the significance of changes in foreign currency exchange
rates. Growth rates on a constant currency basis were determined by applying the current period foreign currency exchange rates to the prior period revenue. We believe that this presentation, as a supplement to GAAP information, gives investors a clearer picture of the related revenue results without the variability caused by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.

BNY Mellon has also included the adjusted pre-tax operating margin Non-GAAP, which is the pre-tax operating margin for the Investment and Wealth Management business, net of distribution and servicing expense that was passed to third parties who distribute or service our managed funds. We believe that this measure is useful when evaluating the performance of the Investment and Wealth Management business relative to industry competitors.

Recent accounting and regulatory developments

Recent accounting developments

The following ASU issued by the FASB had not yet been adopted as of Sept. 30, 2020.

ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform: Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting

In March 2020, the FASB issued an ASU, Reference Rate Reform: Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. This ASU provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to financial contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by reference rate reform. This ASU also permits an entity to make a one-time election to sell and/or transfer held-to-maturity securities that are affected by reference rate reform and were classified as held-to-maturity on or before Jan. 1, 2020. The guidance in this ASU can be adopted as of March 12, 2020 through Dec. 31, 2022. We are assessing the impacts of the new standard, but would not expect this ASU to have a material impact on BNY Mellon.

Recent regulatory developments

For a summary of additional regulatory matters relevant to our operations, see “Recent regulatory developments” in our Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 20202021 and June 30, 20202021 and “Supervision and Regulation” in our 2019 Annual Report. The following discussions summarize certain regulatory, legislative and other developments that may affect BNY Mellon, the impact of many of which we are still evaluating.

CCAR Refiling, Limitations and SCB

In light of the changes in the financial markets and the economy, in June 2020 the Federal Reserve announced that all banking institutions subject to CCAR, including BNY Mellon, are required to resubmit their capital plans. On Sept. 17, 2020, the Federal Reserve released the supervisory scenarios for the resubmission, which was submitted on Nov. 2, 2020.

Also in September 2020, the Federal Reserve extended through the fourth quarter of 2020 the limitations on capital distributions and share repurchases that the Federal Reserve imposed on CCAR firms, including BNY Mellon, earlier in the year. For additional information regarding these limitations, see “Recent regulatory developments - CCAR 2020 results” in our Second Quarter 2020 Form 10-Q.Consistent with these limitations, for the fourth quarter, BNY Mellon maintained its quarterly common stock dividend of $0.31 per share and plans to maintain the suspension of its open market common stock repurchases.

On Aug. 10, 2020, the Federal Reserve announced the individual CCAR firms’ SCBs. The BNY Mellon SCB requirement is 2.5%, which equals the regulatory minimum, and is unchanged compared to the capital conservation buffer that previously applied. The SCB became effective on Oct. 1, 2020. For additional information regarding the SCB, see “Recent regulatory developments - Changes to CCAR and Stress Capital Buffer” in our First Quarter 2020 Form 10-Q and “Supervision and Regulation - Capital Planning and Stress Testing” in our 2019 Annual Report.

Capital, Liquidity and TLAC Relief
Other matters

On Sept. 29, 2020,March 5, 2021, the Federal Reserve,administrator of LIBOR announced that it would cease the FDICpublication of non-U.S. dollar London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) settings and one-week and two-month U.S. dollar LIBOR settings on Dec. 31, 2021 and would cease the OCC (the “Agencies”) finalized without changes an interim final rule issued in March 2020 that neutralizespublication of the regulatory capital and liquidity coverage ratio effects for institutions that participate in the Federal Reserve’s MMLF.

Similarly, in August 2020, the Agencies finalized without change an interim final rule issued in March 2020 that revised the definition of “eligible retained income” to make more gradual the automatic restrictionsother U.S. dollar LIBOR settings on capital distributions, such as share repurchases, dividend payments, and bonus payments. InJune 30, 2023. On the same final rulemaking,day, the Federal ReserveUK Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) made a related announcement regarding when LIBOR settings will cease to be provided by any administrator or no longer be representative. The International Swaps and Derivatives Association (“ISDA”) also finalizedannounced that the March 2020 interim final ruleFCA’s announcement was an index cessation event under its fallbacks protocol for all LIBOR settings and that made corresponding changes toconsequently, the TLAC buffer requirements. The final rule is effectivefallback spread adjustment was fixed as of Jan. 1, 2021.

Also in August 2020, the Agencies finalized a current expected credit loss (“CECL”) final rule that is substantially similar to the interim final rule issued in March 2020. The final rule permits banking organizations to temporarily delay the estimated

BNY Mellon 47


effects of CECL on regulatory capital until Jan. 1, 2022 and then to phase in those effects through Jan. 1, 2025. Under the final rule, during 2020 and 2021, the adjustment to CET1 capital reflects the change in retained earnings upon adoption of CECL at Jan. 1, 2020 plus 25% of the increase in the allowance for credit losses since Jan. 1, 2020. BNY Mellon has not yet elected to apply this final rule. See Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on the impact of the adoption of CECL and Note 5 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for the change in the allowance for credit losses during the third quarter of 2020.

For additional information regarding the interim final rulemakings noted above, see “Recent regulatory developments – Capital, Liquidity and TLAC Relief” in our First Quarter 2020 Form 10-Q.

Net Stable Funding Ratio

On Oct. 20, 2020, the Agencies issued a final net stable funding ratio (“NSFR”) rule that implements a quantitative measure of funding stability over a one-year horizon, and is applicable to certain large banking organizations, including BNY Mellon. Under the rule, BNY Mellon’s NSFR would be expressed as a ratio of its available stable funding to its required stable funding amount, calculated on an ongoing basis, and BNY Mellon would be required to maintain an NSFR of 100%. The effective date of the final NSFR rule is July 1, 2021, with the exception of certain disclosure requirements, which will begin to apply in 2023. BNY Mellon expects to be in compliance with the NSFR rule by the effective date.


Capital Treatment of Investments in Certain Debt Instruments of G-SIBs

On Oct. 20, 2020, the Agencies finalized a rule that generally requires certain advanced approaches banking organizations (including BNY Mellon) to deduct from Tier 2 capital, subject to certain exceptions, direct, indirect and synthetic exposures to covered debt instruments. Covered debt instruments under the rule include, for example, unsecured debt instruments issued by U.S. or foreign G-SIBs, among other entities, to meet TLAC requirements or similar foreign requirements as well as any other unsecured debt instruments pari passu or subordinated to such debt instruments. The rule is effective on April 1, 2021. The impact of the final rule is not expected to be material to BNY Mellon.

ECB Declaration of Exceptional Circumstancesannouncement.

In September 2020, the European Central Bank (“ECB”) issued a declaration of exceptional circumstances, which is in effect from Sept. 26, 2020 to June 27,April 2021, and which, as a result of the so-called “quick-fix” to the Capital Requirements Regulation (“CRR”) earlier in the year, has the effect of allowing credit institutions subject to direct ECB supervision, such as The Bank of New York Mellon SA/NV,state adopted legislation that provides a statutory fallback mechanism to disclose their leverage ratios excluding central bank deposits (as well as the leverage ratios absent this exclusion).replace LIBOR with a benchmark rate based on SOFR for New York-law governed contracts that reference U.S. dollar LIBOR and either have no fallback provisions or provisions that are based on LIBOR. The leverage ratio requirement is currently not binding on EU credit institutions but will become a binding requirement as part of the CRR 2, on June 28, 2021. The ECB declarationNew York legislation also has a safe
harbor regarding the effectselection and use of providing relief for subsidiaries of G-SIBs, such as The Bank of New York Mellon SA/NV, under the binding internal TLAC requirement.that SOFR-based benchmark rate.

For additional information regarding the so-called CRR “quick-fix”, see “Recent regulatory developments – ‘CRR Quick-Fix’”The U.S. bank regulators have issued guidance strongly encouraging banking organizations to cease using U.S. dollar LIBOR as a reference rate in new contracts as soon as practicable and in any event by Dec. 31, 2021. We are continuing to work to facilitate an orderly transition from interbank offered rates, including LIBOR, to alternative reference rates for us and our Second Quarter 2020 Form 10-Q.clients.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates based upon assumptions about future economic and market conditions which affect reported amounts and related disclosures in our financial statements. Although our current estimates contemplate current conditions and how we expect them to change in the future, it is reasonably possible that actual conditions could be worse than anticipated in those estimates, which could materially affect our results of operations and financial condition.


Note 2–Accounting changesAcquisitions and new accounting guidance

The following accounting guidance was adopted in the first quarter of 2020.

Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an ASU, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This ASU introduces a new current expected credit losses model, which applies to financial assets subject to credit losses and measured at amortized cost, including held-to-maturity securities and certain off-balance sheet credit exposures. The guidance also changes current practice for the impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities by requiring the use of an allowance to record estimated credit losses and subsequent recoveries. The standard requires a cumulative effect of initial application to be recognized in retained earnings at the date of initial application.dispositions

In conjunction with adopting the new standard, we developed expected credit loss models and approaches that include considerationfourth quarter of multiple forecast scenarios and other methodologies. On Jan. 1, 2020, we adopted this new accounting guidance on a prospective basis and recognized a $45 million after-tax increase in retained earnings primarily attributable to a reduction to the allowance for credit losses for our commercial lending portfolios. The comparative financial information for prior periods has not been restated. See the Consolidated Balance Sheet and Notes 4 and 5 for the disclosures required by this ASU.

Significant accounting policies

Loans

Loans are reported at amortized cost, net of any unearned income and deferred fees and costs. Certain loan origination and upfront commitment fees, as well as certain direct loan origination and commitment costs, are deferred and amortized as a yield adjustment over the lives of the related loans. Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or fair value.

Troubled debt restructuring/loan modifications

A modified loan is considered a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) if the debtor is experiencing financial difficulties and the creditor grants a concession to the debtor that would not otherwise be considered. A TDR may include a transfer of real estate or other assets from the debtor to the creditor, or a modification of the term of the loan. Credit losses related to TDRs are accounted for under an individual evaluation methodology (see “Allowance for credit losses” below). Credit losses for anticipated TDRs are accounted for similarly to TDRs and are identified when there is a reasonable expectation that a TDR will be executed with the borrower and when we expect the modification to affect the timing or amount of payments and/or the payment term.

Due to the coronavirus pandemic, there have been two forms of relief provided for classifying loans as TDRs: The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) and the Interagency
Guidance (as defined below). Financial institutions may account for eligible loan modifications either under the CARES Act or the Interagency Guidance. The Company has elected to apply both the CARES Act and the Interagency Guidance, as applicable, in providing borrowers with loan modification relief in response to the coronavirus pandemic.

The CARES Act, which became law on March 27, 2020, provides that financial institutions may, subject to certain conditions, elect to temporarily suspend the U.S. GAAP requirements with respect to loan modifications related to the coronavirus pandemic that were current as of Dec. 31, 2019 and that would otherwise be identified and treated as TDRs.

This TDR relief is applicable to modifications that were made from March 1, 2020 until the earlier of Dec. 31, 2020 or 60 days from the date the national emergency related to the coronavirus pandemic officially ends.

Various banking regulators issued guidance in the April 7, 2020 “Interagency Statement on Loan Modifications and Reporting for Financial Institutions Working with Customers Affected by the Coronavirus (revised)” (“Interagency Guidance”) on loan modification treatment pursuant to which financial institutions can apply the U.S. GAAP requirements for loan modifications. In accordance with this guidance, a loan modification is not considered a TDR if the modification is related to the coronavirus pandemic, the borrower had been current when the modification program was implemented, and the modification includes payment deferrals for not more than six months.

Nonperforming assets

Commercial loans are placed on nonaccrual status when principal or interest is past due 90 days or more, or when there is reasonable doubt that interest or principal will be collected.

When a first or second lien residential mortgage loan reaches 90 days delinquent, it is subject to an individual evaluation of credit loss and placed on nonaccrual status.

When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, previously accrued and uncollected interest is reversed against current period interest revenue. Interest receipts on nonaccrual loans are recognized

BNY Mellon 59

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements(continued)
as interest revenue or are applied to principal when we believe the ultimate collectability of principal is in doubt. Nonaccrual loans generally are restored to an accrual basis when principal and interest become current and remain current for a specified period.

“Allowance for credit losses” below provides additional information regarding the individual evaluation of credit losses for nonperforming loans.

Allowance for credit losses

The accounting policy for estimating credit losses related to financial assets measured at amortized cost, including loans and lending-related commitments changed beginningsell 2 legal entities. Those sales closed in the first and third quarters of 2021. BNY Mellon recorded a total after-tax loss of $34 million on these transactions in the fourth quarter of 2020 asand a result of the adoption of ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This ASU also included targeted amendments with respect to credit losses for available-for-sale debt securities. The accounting policy for determining the allowances has been identified as a “critical accounting estimate” as it requires us to make numerous complex and subjective estimates and assumptions relating to amounts which are judgmental and inherently uncertain.

Credit quality is monitored by management and is reflected within the allowance for credit losses. The allowance represents management’s estimate of expected credit losses over the expected contractual life of the financial instruments as of the balance sheet date. The allowance methodology is designed to provide procedural discipline in assessing the appropriateness of the allowance.

A quantitative methodology and qualitative framework is used to estimate the allowance for credit losses. The qualitative framework is described in further detail within “Allowance for credit losses - Other” below. The quantitative component of our estimate uses models and methodologies that categorize financial assets based on product type, collateral type, and other credit trends and risk characteristics, including relevant information about past events, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions that affect the collectability of the recorded amounts. The allowance may be determined using various methods, including discounted cash flow methods, loss-rate methods, probability of default methods or other methods that we determine to be appropriate.
We estimate our expected credit losses using the probability of default method for the majority of our financial assets. We measure expected credit losses of financial assets on a collective (pool) basis when similar risk characteristics exist. For a financial asset that does not share risk characteristics with other assets, expected credit losses are measured based on an individual evaluation method.

In our estimate, with the exception of our small home equity line of credit portfolio, available-for-sale debt securities, and individually evaluated financial assets, we utilize a multi-scenario macroeconomic forecast which includes a weighting of baseline, stronger near-term growth and moderate recession scenarios. This approach allows us to develop our estimate using a wide span of economic input variables. Our baseline scenario reflects a view on likely performance of each global region and the other two scenarios are designed relative to the baseline scenario. The scenarios include both a reasonable and supportable forecast period as well as a reversion period. The reasonable and supportable forecast is typically over a two- to three-year horizon, followed by a reversion period in which the economic data reverts to long-term historical experience. In general, the forecasts across the alternative economic scenarios tend to revert toward the long-term trends after the forecast period, which is the period in which the confidence interval is considered reasonable and supportable. The speed at which the scenario specific forecasts revert is based on observed historical patterns of mean reversion that are reflected in our model parameter estimates. Certain macroeconomic variables such as unemployment or home prices take longer to revert after a contraction, though specific recovery times are scenario-specific. Reversion will usually take longer the further away the scenario specific forecast is from the historical mean. On a quarterly basis, within a developed governance structure, we update these scenarios for current economic conditions and may adjust the scenario weighting based on our economic outlook.

Allowance for credit losses - Loans and lending-related commitments

The allowance for credit losses on loans is presented as a valuation allowance to loans, and the allowance for credit losses on lending-related commitments is recorded in other liabilities. The components of the allowance for credit losses on loans and lending-

60 BNY Mellon

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements(continued)
related commitments consist of the following three elements:

a pooled allowance component for higher risk-rated and pass-rated commercial and institutional credits;
a pooled allowance component for residential mortgage loans; and
an asset-specific allowance component involving individually evaluated credits of $1$4 million or greater.

The first element, a pooled allowance component for higher risk-rated and pass-rated commercial and institutional credits, is based on our expected credit loss model. Individual credit analyses are performed on such loans before being assigned a credit rating. All borrowers are collectively evaluated based on their credit rating. The loss expected in each loan incorporates the borrower’s credit rating, facility rating and maturity. The loss given default, derived from the facility rating, incorporates a recovery expectation, and for unfunded lending exposures, an estimate of the use of the facility at default (usage given default). The borrower’s probability of default is derived from the associated credit rating. For each of the different parameters, specific credit models are developed for each segment of our portfolio, including commercial loans and lease financing, commercial real estate, financial institutions, and other. Segmentation is established based on risk characteristics of the loans and how risk is monitored. We use both internal and external datagain in the developmentthird quarter of these parameters. In estimating the term of the exposures and resulting effect on the measurement of expected credit loss, we consider the impact of potential prepayments as well as the effect of borrower extension options. Borrower ratings are reviewed at least annually and are periodically mapped to third-party databases, including rating agency and default and recovery databases, to ensure ongoing consistency and validity. Higher risk-rated loans and lending-related commitments are reviewed quarterly.

The second element, a pooled allowance component for residential mortgage loans, is determined by first segregating our mortgage pools into two categories: (i) our wealth management mortgages and (ii) our legacy mortgage portfolio disclosed as other residential mortgages. We then apply models to each portfolio to predict prepayments, default rates and
loss severity. We consider historical loss experience and use a loan-level, multi-period default model which further segments each portfolio by product type including first lien fixed rate mortgages, first lien adjustable rate mortgages, second lien mortgages, and interest-only mortgages. We calculate the mortgage loss up to loan contractual maturity and embed a reasonable and supportable forecast and macroeconomic variable inputs which are described above. For home equity lines of credit, probability of default and loss given default are based on external data from third-party databases due to the small size of the portfolio and limited internal data. Our legacy mortgage portfolio and home equity line of credit portfolios represent small sub-segments of our mortgage loans.

The third element, individually evaluated credits, is based on individual analysis of loans of $1 million and greater which no longer share the risk characteristics with other loans. Factors we consider in measuring the extent of expected credit loss include the payment status, collateral value, the borrower’s financial condition, guarantor support, the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due, anticipated modifications of payment structure or term for troubled borrowers, and recoveries if they can be reasonably estimated. We measure the expected credit loss as the difference between the amortized cost basis in the loan and the present value of the expected future cash flows from the borrower which is generally discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, or the fair value of the collateral, if the loan is collateral dependent. We generally consider nonperforming loans as well as loans that have been or are anticipated to be modified under a troubled debt restructuring for individual evaluation given the risk characteristics of such loans.

Allowance for credit losses - Securities - Debt

When estimating expected credit losses, we segment our available-for-sale and held-to-maturity debt securities portfolios by major asset class. This is influenced by whether the security is structured or non-structured (i.e., direct obligation), as well as the issuer type.

Debt securities are classified as available-for-sale securities when we intend to hold the securities for an indefinite period of time or when the securities may be used for tactical asset/liability management

BNY Mellon 61

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements(continued)
purposes and may be sold from time to time to effectively manage interest rate exposure, prepayment risk and liquidity needs. Available-for-sale securities are measured at fair value. The difference between fair value and amortized cost represents the unrealized gains or losses on assets classified as available-for-sale, and is recorded net of tax as an addition to, or deduction from, other comprehensive income, unless we determine that this difference or a portion thereof represents an expected credit loss. If we determine that a credit loss exists, the amount is recognized as an allowance for credit losses in securities - available-for sale, with a corresponding adjustment to the provision for credit losses. We evaluate credit losses at the individual security level and do not recognize credit losses if the fair value exceeds amortized cost, and if we determine that a credit loss exists, we limit the recognition of the loss to the difference between fair value and amortized cost. In our determination of whether an expected credit loss exists, we routinely conduct periodic reviews and examine various quantitative and qualitative factors that are unique to each portfolio, including the severity of the unrealized loss position, agency rating, credit enhancement, cash flow deterioration and other factors. The measurement of an expected credit loss is then based on the best estimate of the present value of cash flows to be collected from the debt security. Generally, cash flows are discounted at the effective interest rate implicit in the debt security. Changes to the present value of cash flows due to the passage of time are recognized within the allowance for credit losses.

We estimate expected credit losses for held-to-maturity debt securities using a similar methodology as described in the first allowance element within “Allowance for credit losses - Loans and lending-related commitments” above. The allowance for credit losses on held-to-maturity debt securities are recorded in securities - held-to-maturity. The components of the credit loss calculation for each major portfolio or asset class include a probability of default and loss given default and their values depend on the forecast behavior of variables in the macroeconomic environment. For structured debt securities, we estimated expected credit losses at the individual security level and use a cash flow model to project principal losses. Generally, cash flows are discounted at the effective interest rate implicit in the debt security. The difference is reflected in the allowance for credit losses, and changes to the present
value of cash flows due to the passage of time are recognized within the allowance for credit losses.

We currently do not require an estimate of expected credit losses to be measured and recorded for U.S. Treasury securities, agency debt securities, as well as other debt securities that meet certain conditions that are based on a combination of factors such as guarantees, credit ratings, and other credit quality factors. These assets are monitored within our established governance structure on a recurring basis to determine if any changes are warranted.

Allowance for credit losses – Other financial instruments

We also estimate expected credit losses associated with margin loans, reverse repurchase agreements, security lending indemnifications, and deposits with third-party financial institutions using a similar methodology as described in the first allowance element within “Allowance for credit losses - Loans and lending-related commitments” above. The allowance for credit losses on reverse repurchase agreements are recorded in federal funds sold and securities purchased under resale agreements; the allowance for credit losses on securities lending indemnifications is recorded in other liabilities and the allowance for credit losses on deposits with third-party financial institutions is recorded in cash and due from banks or interest-bearing deposits with banks. Our reverse repurchase agreements are short term and subject to continuous overcollateralization by our counterparties and timely collateral replenishment, when necessary. As a result, we estimate the expected credit loss related to the uncollateralized portion of the asset at the balance sheet date, if any, and when there is a reasonable expectation that the counterparty will not replenish the collateral in compliance with the terms of the repurchase agreement. This method is also applied to margin lending arrangements and securities lending indemnifications.

Allowance for credit losses - Other

We do not apply our credit loss measurement methodologies to accrued interest receivable balances related to our loan, debt securities and deposits with third party financial institutions assets given our nonaccrual policy that requires charge-off of interest receivable when deemed uncollectible. Accrued interest receivable related to these instruments is

62 BNY Mellon

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements(continued)
presented in total with other interest-bearing instruments in the consolidated balance sheet. Accrued interest receivable related to each major loan class is disclosed within our credit quality disclosure in Note 5.

Our policy for credit losses related to purchased financial assets requires an evaluation to be performed prior to the effective purchase date to determine if more than an insignificant decline in credit quality has occurred during the period between the origination and purchase date, or, in the case of debt securities, the period between the issuance and purchase date. If we purchase a financial asset with more than insignificant deterioration in credit quality, the measurement of expected credit loss is performed using the methodologies described above, and the credit loss is recorded as an allowance for credit losses on the purchase date. Subsequent to purchase, changes (favorable and unfavorable) in expected cash flows are recognized immediately in net income by adjusting the allowance. We evaluate various factors in the determination of whether a more than an insignificant decline in credit quality has occurred and these factors vary depending upon the type of asset purchased. Such factors include changes in risk rating and/or agency rating, collateral deterioration, payment status, purchase price, credit spreads, and other factors. We did not purchase any such assets during the first nine months of 2020 and did not own such assets as of Sept. 30, 2020.

We apply a separate credit loss methodology to accounts receivables to estimate the expected credit losses associated with these short-term receivables which historically have not resulted in significant credit losses. The allowance for credit losses on accounts receivable is reflected in other assets.

The qualitative component of our estimate for the allowance for credit losses is intended to capture expected losses that may not have been fully captured in the quantitative component. Through an established governance structure, management determines the qualitative allowance each period based on an evaluation of various internal and environmental factors which include: scenario weighting and sensitivity risk, credit concentration risk, economic conditions and other considerations. We may also make adjustments for idiosyncratic
risks. Once determined in the aggregate, our qualitative allowance is then allocated to each of our financial instrument portfolios except for debt securities and those instruments carried in other assets based on the respective instruments’ quantitative allowance balances. The allocation of this additional allowance for credit losses is inherently judgmental, and the entire allowance for credit losses is available to absorb credit losses regardless of the nature of the loss.2021.

Note 3–Acquisitions and dispositions

We sometimes structure our acquisitions with both an initial payment and later contingent payments tied to post-closing revenue or income growth. There were 0 contingent payments in the third quarter of 2020. Contingent payment totaled $3 million in the first nine months of 2020.

At Sept. 30, 2020, we are potentially obligated to pay additional consideration which, using reasonable assumptions, could range from $5 million to $10 million over the next two years, but could be higher as certain of the arrangements do not contain a contractual maximum.

Transaction in 2019

On Nov. 8, 2019, BNY Mellon, along with the other holders of Promontory Interfinancial Network, LLC (“PIN”), completed the sale of their interests in PIN. BNY Mellon recorded an after-tax gain of $622 million on the sale of this equity investment.

In the third quarter of 2021, agency RMBS, U.S. Treasury securities and U.S. government agencies with an aggregate amortized cost of $4.81 billion and fair value of $5.08 billion were transferred from available-for-sale securities to held-to-maturity securities to reduce the impact of changes in interest rates on accumulated other comprehensive income.

In the second quarter of 2021, U.S. Treasury securities and agency commercial MBS with an aggregate amortized cost of $5.95 billion and fair value of $5.96 billion were transferred from available-for-sale securities to held-to-maturity securities to reduce the impact of changes in interest rates on accumulated other comprehensive income.

Allowance for credit losses – Securities

The allowance for credit losses related to securities was $10 million at Sept. 30, 2021 and $11 million at Dec. 31, 2020, and primarily relates to the available-for-sale CLO portfolio.

Allowance for credit losses - Securities

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. The allowance for credit losses related to securities was $7 million on Jan. 1, 2020 and $12 million at Sept. 30, 2020. The increase reflects additional credit deterioration in the available-for-sale CLO portfolio. For additional information about the review of securities under previous other-than-temporary impairment guidance, refer to Notes 1 and 4, both Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, in our 2019 Annual Report.
Credit quality indicators - Securities

At Sept. 30, 2020,2021, the gross unrealized losses on the securities portfolio were primarily attributable to an increase in credit spreads from the date of purchase, and for certain securities that were transferred from available-for-sale to held-to-maturity, an increase in interest rates through the date they were transferred. Specifically, $49$80 million of the unrealized losses at Sept. 30, 20202021 and $65$44 million at Dec. 31, 20192020 reflected in the available-for-sale sections of the tables below relate to certain securities (primarily Agency RMBS) that were previously transferred in prior periods from available-for-sale to held-to-maturity. The unrealized losses will be amortized into net interest revenue over the contractual lives of the securities. The transfer
created a new cost basis for the securities. As a result, if these securities have experienced unrealized losses since the date of transfer, the corresponding fair value and unrealized losses would be reflected in the held-to-maturity sections ofsecurities portfolio in the following tables. We do not intend to sell these securities, and it is not more likely than not that we will have to sell these securities.

Pledged assets

At Sept. 30, 2020,2021, BNY Mellon had pledged assets of $141 billion, including $108$110 billion pledged as collateral for potential borrowings at the Federal Reserve Discount Window and $5$7 billion pledged as collateral for borrowing at the Federal Home Loan Bank. The components of the assets pledged at Sept. 30, 20202021 included $123 billion of securities, $11$12 billion of loans, $6$5 billion of trading assets and $1 billion of interest-bearing deposits with banks.

If there has been no borrowing at the Federal Reserve Discount Window, the Federal Reserve generally allows banks to freely move assets in and out of their pledged assets account to sell or repledge the assets
for other purposes. BNY Mellon regularly moves assets in and out of its pledged assets account at the Federal Reserve.

At Dec. 31, 2019,2020, BNY Mellon had pledged assets of $118$141 billion, including $80$113 billion pledged as collateral for potential borrowing at the Federal Reserve Discount Window and $6$5 billion pledged as collateral for borrowing at the Federal Home Loan Bank. The components of the assets pledged at Dec. 31, 20192020 included $98$124 billion of securities, $13$11 billion of loans, $7$6 billion of trading assets and less than $1 billion of interest-bearing deposits with banks.

At Sept. 30, 20202021 and Dec. 31, 2019,2020, pledged assets included $23 billion and $29$18 billion, respectively, for which the recipients were permitted to sell or repledge the assets delivered.

At Sept. 30, 2020, we pledged commercial paper and CDs totaling $295 million as collateral to the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston to secure non-recourse borrowings under the Federal Reserve’s Money Market Mutual Fund Liquidity Facility (“MMLF”) program.

We also obtain securities as collateral, including receipts under resale agreements, securities borrowed, derivative contracts and custody agreements, on terms which permit us to sell or repledge the securities to others. At Sept. 30, 20202021 and Dec. 31, 2019,2020, the market value of the securities received that can be sold or repledged was $112$119 billion and $153$121 billion, respectively. We routinely sell or repledge these securities through delivery to third parties. As of Sept. 30, 20202021 and Dec. 31, 2019,2020, the market value of
securities collateral sold or repledged was $80$71 billion and $107$84 billion, respectively.

Restricted cash and securities

Cash and securities may be segregated under federal and other regulations or requirements. At Sept. 30, 20202021 and Dec. 31, 2019,2020, cash segregated under federal and other regulations or requirements was $3$4 billion and $2$3 billion, respectively. Restricted cash is included in interest-bearing deposits with banks on the consolidated balance sheet. Securities segregated under federal and other regulations or requirements were $4$3 billion at Sept. 30, 20202021 and $1$6 billion at Dec. 31, 2019.2020. Restricted securities were sourced from securities purchased under resale agreements and are included in federal funds sold and securities purchased under resale agreements on the consolidated balance sheet.

Loan modifications

Due to the coronavirus pandemic, there have been two forms of relief provided for classifying loans as TDRs: The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”), the relevant provisions of which were extended by the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021, and the Interagency Guidance. See Note 21 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2020 Annual Report for additional details on the CARES Act, Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021, and Interagency Guidance. Financial institutions may account for eligible loan modifications either under the CARES Act or the Interagency Guidance. The Company has elected to apply both the CARES Act and the Interagency Guidance, as applicable, in providing borrowers with loan modification relief in response to the coronavirus pandemic. We modified
loans of $23 million in the third quarter of 2021, $106 million in the third quarter of 2020 and $282$3 million in the second quarter of 2020.2021. Nearly all of the modifications were
short-term loan payment forbearances or modified principal and/or interest payments. These loans were primarily residential mortgage and commercial real estate loans. We also modified loans of $56 million in the third quarter of 2020, a majority of which were commercial real estate loans, by providing long-term loan payment modifications and an extension of maturity. We did not identify any of the modifications as troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”). NoneTDRs. There were no long-term loan modifications in the third quarter of these loans were reported as past due or nonperforming at Sept. 30, 2020.2021 and second quarter of 2021. At Sept. 30, 2020,2021, the unpaid principal balance of the loans modified under the CARES Act or Interagency Guidance was $174$94 million. We modified other residential mortgage loans of $4 million in the third quarter of 2019.

Credit quality indicators

Our credit strategy is to focus on investment-grade clients that are active users of our non-credit services. Each customer is assigned an internal credit rating,
which is mapped to an external rating agency grade equivalent, if possible, based upon a number of dimensions, which are continually evaluated and may change over time.

The tabletables below providesprovide information about the credit profile of the loan portfolio by the period of origination.

Commercial loans

The commercial loan portfolio is divided into investment grade and non-investment grade categories based on the assigned internal credit ratings, which are generally consistent with those of the public rating agencies. Customers with ratings consistent with BBB- (S&P)/Baa3 (Moody’s) or better are considered to be investment grade. Those clients with ratings lower than this threshold are considered to be non-investment grade.

Commercial real estate

Our income-producing commercial real estate facilities are focused on experienced owners and are
structured with moderate leverage based on existing cash flows. Our commercial real estate lending activities also include construction and renovation facilities.

Financial institutions

Financial institution exposures are high quality, with 95%96% of the exposures meeting the investment grade equivalent criteria of our internal credit rating classification at Sept. 30, 2020.2021. In addition, 75%68% of the financial institutions exposure is secured. For example, securities industry clients and asset managers often borrow against marketable securities held in custody. The exposure to financial

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements(continued)
institutions is generally short-term, with 89%84% expiring within one year.

Wealth management loans and mortgages

Wealth management non-mortgage loans are not typically rated by external rating agencies. A majority of the wealth management loans are secured by the customers’ investment management accounts or custody accounts. Eligible assets pledged for these loans are typically investment grade fixed-income securities, equities and/or mutual funds. Internal ratings for this portion of the wealth management portfolio, therefore, would equate to investment grade

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
external ratings. Wealth management loans are provided to select customers based on the pledge of other types of assets, including business assets, fixed assets or a modest amount of commercial real estate. For the loans collateralized by other assets, the credit quality of the obligor is carefully analyzed, but we do not consider this portfolio of loans to be investment grade.

Credit quality indicators for wealth management mortgages are not correlated to external ratings. Wealth management mortgages are typically loans to high-net-worth individuals, which are secured primarily by residential property. These loans are primarily interest-only, adjustable rate mortgages with a weighted-average loan-to-value ratio of 62% at origination. Delinquency rate is a key indicator of credit quality in the wealth management portfolio. At Sept. 30, 2020,2021, less than 1% of the mortgages were past due.

At Sept. 30, 2020,2021, the wealth management mortgage portfolio consisted of the following geographic concentrations: California - 22%; New York - 17%– 16%; Florida – 9%; Massachusetts - 10%; Florida - 8%– 9%; and other - 43%– 44%.

Lease financingfinancings

At Sept. 30, 2020,2021, the lease financings portfolio consisted of exposures backed by well-diversified assets, primarily real estate and large-ticket transportation equipment and real estate.equipment. The largest componentcomponents of our lease
residual value exposure isrelate to aircraft and freight-related rail.rail cars. Assets are both domestic and foreign-based, with primary concentrations in Germany and the U.S. and Germany.

Other residential mortgages

The other residential mortgagemortgages portfolio primarily consists of 1-4 family residential mortgage loans and
totaled $423$317 million at Sept. 30, 20202021 and $494$389 million at Dec. 31, 2019.2020. These loans are not typically correlated to external ratings. Included in this portfolio at Sept. 30, 20202021 were $76$54 million of mortgage loans purchased in 2005, 2006 and the first quarter of 2007, of which 19% of the serviced loan balance was at least 60 days delinquent.2007.

Overdrafts

Overdrafts primarily relate to custody and securities clearance clients and totaled $4.0$4.6 billion at Sept. 30, 20202021 and $2.7 billion at Dec. 31, 2019.2020. Overdrafts occur on a daily basis and are generally repaid within two business days.

Other loans

Other loans primarily include loans to consumers that are fully collateralized with equities, mutual funds and fixed-income securities.

Margin loans

We had $13.5$20.8 billion of secured margin loans at Sept. 30, 2020,2021, compared with $13.4$15.4 billion at Dec. 31, 2019.2020. Margin loans are collateralized with marketable securities, and borrowers are required to maintain a daily collateral margin in excess of 100% of the value of the loan. We have rarely suffered a loss on these types of loans.

Reverse repurchase agreements

Reverse repurchase agreements at Sept. 30, 20202021 were fully secured with high quality collateral. As a result, there was 0no allowance for credit losses related to these assets at Sept. 30, 2020.2021.

Investments valued using net asset value (“NAV”) per share

In our Investment and Wealth Management business, we make seed capital investments in certain funds we manage. We also hold private equity investments, specificallyprimarily small business investment companies (“SBICs”), which are compliant with the Volcker Rule, and certain other corporate investments. Seed capital, private equity and other corporate investments are included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheet. The fair value of certain of these investments was estimated using the NAV per share for our ownership interest in the funds.

Contract balances

Our clients are billed based on fee schedules that are agreed upon in each customer contract. Receivables from customers were $2.5 billion at Sept. 30, 20202021 and $2.4 billion at Dec. 31, 2019.2020.

Contract assets represent accrued revenues that have not yet been billed to the customers due to certain contractual terms other than the passage of time and were $57$108 million at Sept. 30, 20202021 and $32 million at Dec. 31, 2019.2020. Accrued revenues recorded as contract assets are usually billed on an annual basis.

Both receivables from customers and contract assets are included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheet.

Contract liabilities represent payments received in advance of providing services under certain contracts and were $187$185 million at Sept. 30, 20202021 and $168$167 million at Dec. 31, 2019.2020. Contract liabilities are included in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. Revenue recognized in the third quarter of 20202021 relating to contract liabilities as of June 30, 20202021 was $65$68 million. Revenue recognized in the first nine months of 20202021 relating to contract liabilities as of Dec. 31, 20192020 was $95$101 million.
Changes in contract assets and liabilities primarily relate to either party’s performance under the contracts.

Contract costs

Incremental costs for obtaining contracts that are deemed recoverable are capitalized as contract costs. Such costs result from the payment of sales incentives, primarily in the Wealth Management business, and totaled $77$62 million at Sept. 30, 20202021 and $86$73 million at Dec. 31, 2019.2020. Capitalized sales incentives are amortized based on the transfer of goods or services to which the assets relate and typically average nine years. The amortization of capitalized sales incentives, which is primarily included in staff expense on the consolidated income statement, totaled $5 million in the third quarter of 2021, $6 million in the third quarter of 2020, $7 million in the third quarter of 2019, $5 million in the second quarter of 2020,2021, $15 million in the first nine months of 2021 and $16 million in the first nine months of 2020 and $17 million in the first nine months of 2019..

Costs to fulfill a contract are capitalized when they relate directly to an existing contract or a specific anticipated contract, generate or enhance resources that will be used to fulfill performance obligations, and are recoverable. Such costs generally represent set-up costs, which include any direct cost incurred at the inception of a contract which enables the

the inception of a contract which enables the fulfillment of the performance obligation, and totaled $12$19 million at Sept. 30, 20202021 and $16$15 million at Dec. 31, 2019.2020. These capitalized costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the expected contract period, which generally ranges from seven to nine years. The amortization is included in professional, legal and other purchased services and other expenses on the consolidated income statement and totaled less than $1 million in the third quarter of 2021, $1 million in the third quarter of 2020, and third quarter of 2019, $2less than $1 million in the second quarter of 2020 and $42021, $1 million in the first nine months of 20202021 and first nine months of 2019. There were 0 impairments recorded on capitalized contract costs$4 million in the first nine months of 2020.

Note 11–10–Income taxes

BNY Mellon recorded an income tax provision of $219 million (18.8% effective tax rate) in the third quarter of 2021, $213 million (18.4% effective tax rate) in the third quarter of 2020 $246and $241 million (19.1% effective tax rate) in the third quarter of 2019 and $216 million (18.3%(19.0% effective tax rate) in the second quarter of 2020.2021.

Our total tax reserves as of Sept. 30, 20202021 were $85$120 million compared with $173$119 million at Dec. 31, 2019.2020. If these tax reserves were unnecessary, $85$120 million would affect the effective tax rate in future periods. We recognize accrued interest and penalties, if applicable, related to income taxes in income tax expense. Included in the balance sheet at Sept. 30, 20202021 is accrued interest, where applicable, of
$23 $33 million. The additional tax expense related to interest for the nine months ended Sept. 30, 20202021 was $5$6 million, compared with $9$5 million for the nine months ended Sept. 30, 2019.2020.

It is reasonably possible the total reserve for uncertain tax positions could decrease within the next 12 months by approximately $15$1 million as a result of
adjustments related to tax years that are still subject to examination.

Our federal income tax returns are closed to examination through 2016. Our New York State andincome tax returns are closed to examination through 2014. Our New York City income tax returns are closed to examination through 2012. Our UK income tax returns are closed to examination through 2015.2018.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
Note 15–14–Fair value measurement

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements is utilized based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. BNY Mellon’s own creditworthiness is considered when valuing liabilities. See Note 20 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 20192020 Annual Report for
information on how we determine fair value and the fair value hierarchy.

The following tables present the financial instruments carried at fair value at Sept. 30, 20202021 and Dec. 31, 2019,2020, by caption on the consolidated balance sheet and by the three-level valuation hierarchy. We have included credit ratings information in certain of the tables because the information indicates the degree of credit risk to which we are exposed, and significant changes in ratings classifications could result in increased risk for us.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis

Under certain circumstances, we make adjustments to the fair value of our assets, liabilities and unfunded lending-related commitments, although they are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis.

Examples would be the recording of an impairment of
an asset and non-readily marketable equity securities carried at cost with upward or downward adjustments.

The following table presents the financial instruments carried on the consolidated balance sheet by caption and level in the fair value hierarchy as of Sept. 30, 20202021 and Dec. 31, 2019.2020.

Note 16–15–Fair value option

We elected fair value as an alternative measurement for selected financial assets and liabilities that are not otherwise required to be measured at fair value, including the assets and liabilities of consolidated investment management funds and certain long-term debt. The following table presents the assets and liabilities of consolidated investment management funds, at fair value.

BNY Mellon values the assets and liabilities of its consolidated investment management funds using quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets or observable inputs such as quoted
prices for similar assets or liabilities. Quoted prices for either identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets may also be used. Accordingly, fair value best reflects the interests BNY Mellon holds in
the economic performance of the consolidated investment management funds. Changes in the value of the assets and liabilities are recorded as income (loss) from consolidated investment management funds, which is included in investment and other income in the consolidated income statement as investment income of consolidated investment management funds and in the interest of investment management fund note holders, respectively.statement.

We have elected the fair value option on $240 million of long-term debt. The fair value of this long-term debt was $400 million at Sept. 30, 20202021 and $387$400 million at Dec. 31, 2019.2020. The long-term debt is valued using observable market inputs and is included in Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.

Note 17–16–Derivative instruments

We use derivatives to manage exposure to market risk, including interest rate risk, equity price risk and foreign currency risk, as well as credit risk. Our trading activities are focused on acting as a market-makermarket-
86 BNY Mellon

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
maker for our customers and facilitating customer trades in compliance with the Volcker Rule.

The notional amounts for derivative financial instruments express the dollar volume of the transactions; however, credit risk is much smaller. We perform credit reviews and enter into netting agreements and collateral arrangements to minimize the credit risk of derivative financial instruments. We enter into offsetting positions to reduce exposure to foreign currency, interest rate and equity price risk.

Use of derivative financial instruments involves reliance on counterparties. Failure of a counterparty to honor its obligation under a derivative contract is a risk we assume whenever we engage in a derivative contract. There were 0no counterparty default losses recorded in the third quarter of 2020.2021.

Hedging derivatives

We utilize interest rate swap agreements to manage our exposure to interest rate fluctuations. We enter into fair value hedges as an interest rate risk management strategy to reduce fair value variability by converting certain fixed rate interest payments associated with available-for-sale securities and long-term debt to floating interest rates. We also utilize interest rate swaps and forward exchange contracts as cash flow hedges to manage our exposure to interest rate and foreign exchange rate changes.

The available-for-sale securities hedged consist of U.S. Treasury, agency and non-agency commercial MBS, sovereign debt/sovereign guaranteed, corporate bonds and foreign covered bonds. At Sept. 30, 2020, $14.52021, $24.7 billion par value of available-for-sale securities were hedged with interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges that had notional values of $14.5$24.7 billion.

The fixed rate long-term debt instruments hedged generally have original maturities of five to 30 years. In fair value hedging relationships, fixed rate debt is hedged with “receive fixed rate, pay variable rate” swaps. At Sept. 30, 2020, $13.92021, $21.1 billion par value of debt was hedged with interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges that had notional values of $13.9$21.1 billion.

In addition, we utilize forward foreign exchange contracts as hedges to mitigate foreign exchange exposures. We use forward foreign exchange contracts as cash flow hedges to convert certain forecasted non-U.S. dollar revenue and expenses into U.S. dollars. We use forward foreign exchange contracts with maturities of 15 months or less as cash flow hedges to hedge our foreign exchange exposure to currencies such as Indian rupee, British pound, Euro, Hong Kong dollar, Polish zloty, Singapore dollar and Polish zlotyeuro used in revenue and expense transactions for entities that have the U.S. dollar as their functional currency. As of Sept. 30, 2020,2021, the hedged forecasted foreign currency transactions and designated forward foreign exchange contract hedges were $319$330 million (notional), with a net pre-tax gain of $5$1 million recorded in accumulated OCI. ThisOver the next 12 months, a gain of $1 million will be reclassified to earnings over the next 12 months.earnings.

We also utilize forward foreign exchange contracts as fair value hedges of the foreign exchange risk associated with available-for-sale securities. Forward points are designated as an excluded component and amortized into earnings over the hedge period. The unamortized derivative value associated with the excluded component is recognized in accumulated OCI. At Sept. 30, 2020, $1402021, $143 million par value of available-for-sale securities was hedged with foreign currency forward contracts that had a notional value of $140$143 million.

Forward foreign exchange contracts are also used to hedge the value of our net investments in foreign subsidiaries. These forward foreign exchange contracts have maturities of less than one year. The derivatives employed are designated as hedges of changes in value of our foreign investments due to exchange rates. The change in fair market value of these forward foreign exchange contracts is reported within foreign currency translation adjustments in shareholders’ equity, net of tax. At Sept. 30, 2020,2021, forward foreign exchange contracts with notional amounts totaling $7.9$8.3 billion were designated as net investment hedges.

In additionFrom time to forward foreign exchange contracts,time, we also designate non-derivative financial instruments as hedges of our net investments in foreign subsidiaries. ThoseAt Sept. 30, 2021, there were 0 non-derivative financial instruments designated as hedges ofhedging our net investments in foreign subsidiaries were all long-term liabilities of BNY Mellon and, at Sept. 30, 2020, had a combined U.S. dollar equivalent carrying value of $179 million.subsidiaries.

Foreign exchange revenue includes income from purchasing and selling foreign currencies, andcurrency
currency forwards, futures and options.options as well as foreign currency remeasurement. Other trading revenue reflects results from trading in cash instruments, including fixed income and equity securities, and trading and economic hedging activity with non-foreign exchange derivatives.

We also use derivative financial instruments as risk mitigatingrisk-mitigating economic hedges, which are not formally designated as accounting hedges. This includes hedging the foreign currency, interest rate or market risks inherent in some of our balance sheet exposures, such as seed capital investments and deposits, as well as certain investment management fee revenue streams. We also use total return swaps to economically hedge obligations arising from the Company’s deferred compensation plan whereby the participants defer compensation and earn a return linked to the performance of investments they select. The gains or losses on these total return swaps are recorded in staff expense on the consolidated income statement and were a gainloss of $2 million in the third quarter of 2021, gains of $12 million in the third quarter of 2020, a de minimis loss in the third quarter of 2019, a gain of $28$13 million in the second quarter of 2020,2021 and $21 million in the first nine months of 2021 and a loss of $1 million in the first nine months of 2020 and a gain of $23 million in the first nine months of 2019.2020.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
We manage trading risk through a system of position limits, a value-at-risk (“VaR”) methodology based on historical simulation and other market sensitivity measures. Risk is monitored and reported to senior management by a separate unit, independent from trading, on a daily basis. Based on certain assumptions, the VaR methodology is designed to capture the potential overnight pre-tax dollar loss from adverse changes in fair values of all trading positions. The calculation assumes a one-day holding period, utilizes a 99% confidence level and incorporates non-linear product characteristics. The VaR model is one of several statistical models used to develop economic capital results, which are allocated to lines of business for computing risk-adjusted performance.

VaR methodology does not evaluate risk attributable to extraordinary financial, economic or other occurrences. As a result, the risk assessment process includes a number of stress scenarios based upon the risk factors in the portfolio and management’s assessment of market conditions. Additional stress scenarios based upon historical market events are also performed. Stress tests may incorporate the impact of reduced market liquidity and the breakdown of historically observed correlations and extreme scenarios. VaR and other statistical measures, stress testing and sensitivity analysis are incorporated into other risk management materials.

Counterparty credit risk and collateral

We assess the credit risk of our counterparties through regular examination of their financial statements, confidential communication with the management of those counterparties and regular monitoring of publicly available credit rating information. This and other information is used to develop proprietary credit rating metrics used to assess credit quality.

Collateral requirements are determined after a comprehensive review of the credit quality of each counterparty. Collateral is generally held or pledged in the form of cash and/or highly liquid government securities. Collateral requirements are monitored and adjusted daily.

Additional disclosures concerning derivative financial instruments are provided in Note 15.14.

Disclosure of contingent features in over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivative instruments

Certain OTC derivative contracts and/or collateral agreements contain credit-risk contingentcredit risk-contingent features triggered upon a rating downgrade in which the counterparty has the right to request additional collateral or the right to terminate the contracts in a net liability position.

The following table shows the aggregate fair value of OTC derivative contracts in net liability positions that contained credit-risk contingentcredit risk-contingent features and the value of collateral that has been posted.

The aggregate fair value of OTC derivative contracts containing credit-risk contingentcredit risk-contingent features can fluctuate from quarter to quarter due to changes in market conditions, composition of counterparty trades, new business or changes to the contingent features.

The Bank of New York Mellon, our largest banking subsidiary, enters into the substantial majority of our OTC derivative contracts and/or collateral agreements. As such, the contingent features may be triggered if The Bank of New York Mellon’s long-term issuer rating waswere downgraded.

BNY Mellon’s repurchase agreements and securities lending transactions primarily encounter risk associated with liquidity. We are required to pledge collateral based on predetermined terms within the agreements. If we were to experience a decline in the fair value of the collateral pledged for these transactions, we could be required to provide additional collateral to the counterparty, therefore decreasing the amount of assets available for other liquidity needs that may arise. BNY Mellon also offers tri-party collateral agency services in the tri-party repo market where we are exposed to credit risk. In order to mitigate this risk, we require dealers to fully secure intraday credit.


Note 18–17–Commitments and contingent liabilities

Off-balance sheet arrangements

In the normal course of business, various commitments and contingent liabilities are outstanding that are not reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Our significant trading and off-balance sheet risks are securities, foreign currency and interest rate risk management products, commercial lending commitments, letters of credit and securities lending indemnifications. We assume these risks to reduce interest rate and foreign currency risks, to provide customers with the ability to meet credit and liquidity needs and to hedge foreign currency and interest rate risks. These items involve, to varying degrees, credit, foreign currency and interest rate risks not recognized on the balance sheet. Our off-balance sheet risks are managed and monitored in manners similar to those used for on-balance sheet risks.

(b)Excludes the indemnification for securities for which BNY Mellon acts as an agent on behalf of CIBC Mellon clients, which totaled $58$64 billion at Sept. 30, 20202021 and $57$62 billion at Dec. 31, 2019.2020.
(c)Includes cash collateral, invested in indemnified repurchase agreements, held by us as securities lending agent of $43$50 billion at Sept. 30, 20202021 and $37$41 billion at Dec. 31, 2019.2020.


The total potential loss on undrawn lending commitments, standby and commercial letters of credit and securities lending indemnifications is equal to the total notional amount if drawn upon, which does not consider the value of any collateral.

Since many of the lending commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total amount does not necessarily represent future cash requirements. A summary of lending commitment maturities is as follows: $31.0$28.0 billion in less than one year, $16.3$18.1 billion in one to five years and $336$787 million over five years.

SBLCs principally support obligations of corporate clients and were collateralized with cash and securities of $200$163 million at Sept. 30, 20202021 and $184$194 million at Dec. 31, 2019.2020. At Sept. 30, 2020, $1.62021, $1.4 billion of the SBLCs will expire within one year, $568$558 million in one to five years and $1 millionnone over five years.

We must recognize, at the inception of an SBLC and foreign and other guarantees, a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing the guarantee. The fair value of the liability, which was recorded with a corresponding asset in other assets, was estimated as the present value of contractual customer fees. The estimated liability for losses related to SBLCs and foreign and other guarantees, if any, is included in the allowance for lending-related commitments.

Payment/performance risk of SBLCs is monitored using both historical performance and internal ratings
criteria. BNY Mellon’s historical experience is that SBLCs typically expire without being funded. SBLCs below investment grade are monitored closely for payment/performance risk. The table below shows SBLCs by investment grade:

A commercial letter of credit is normally a short-term instrument used to finance a commercial contract for the shipment of goods from a seller to a buyer. Although the commercial letter of credit is contingent upon the satisfaction of specified conditions, it represents a credit exposure if the buyer defaults on the underlying transaction. As a result, the total contractual amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Commercial letters of credit totaled $87$146 million at Sept. 30, 20202021 and $74$60 million at Dec. 31, 2019.2020.

We expect many of the lending commitments and letters of credit to expire without the need to advance any cash. The revenue associated with guarantees frequently depends on the credit rating of the obligor and the structure of the transaction, including collateral, if any. The allowance for lending-related commitments was $135$40 million at Sept. 30, 20202021 and $94$121 million at Dec. 31, 2019.2020.

A securities lending transaction is a fully collateralized transaction in which the owner of a security agrees to lend the security (typically through an agent, in our case, The Bank of New York Mellon) to a borrower, usually a broker-dealer or bank, on an open, overnight or term basis, under the terms of a prearranged contract.

We typically lend securities with indemnification against borrower default. We generally require the borrower to provide collateral with a minimum value of 102% of the fair value of the securities borrowed, which is monitored on a daily basis, thus reducing credit risk. Market risk can also arise in securities lending transactions. These risks are controlled through policies limiting the level of risk that can be undertaken. Securities lending transactions are generally entered into only with highly rated counterparties. Securities lending indemnifications

counterparties. Securities lending indemnifications were secured by collateral of $435511 billion at Sept. 30, 20202021 and $428493 billion at Dec. 31, 2019.2020.

CIBC Mellon, a joint venture between BNY Mellon and the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (“CIBC”), engages in securities lending activities.  CIBC Mellon, BNY Mellon and CIBC jointly and severally indemnify securities lenders against specific types of borrower default. At Sept. 30, 20202021 and Dec. 31, 2019, $582020, $64 billion and $57$62 billion, respectively, of borrowings at CIBC Mellon, for which BNY Mellon acts as agent on behalf of CIBC Mellon clients, were secured by collateral of $61$68 billion and $61$66 billion, respectively. If, upon a default, a borrower’s collateral was not sufficient to cover its related obligations, certain losses related to the indemnification could be covered by the indemnitors.

Unsettled repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements

In the normal course of business, we enter into repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements that settle at a future date. In repurchase agreements, BNY Mellon receives cash from and provides securities as collateral to a counterparty at settlement. In reverse repurchase agreements, BNY Mellon advances cash to and receives securities as collateral from the counterparty at settlement. These transactions are recorded on the consolidated balance sheet on the settlement date. At Sept. 30, 2020,2021, we had $150 million$3.7 billion of unsettled repurchase agreements and 0$10.4 billion of unsettled reverse repurchase agreements.

Sponsored Member Repo Programmember repo program

BNY Mellon is a sponsoring member in the FICC sponsored member program, where we submit eligible overnight repurchase and reverse repurchase transactions in U.S. Treasury and agency securities (“Sponsored Member Transactions”) between BNY Mellon and our sponsored member clients for novation and clearing through FICC pursuant to the FICC Government Securities Division rulebook (the “FICC Rules”). We also guarantee to FICC the prompt and full payment and performance of our sponsored member clients’ respective obligations under the FICC Rules in connection with such clients’ Sponsored Member Transactions. We minimize our credit exposure under this guaranty by obtaining a security interest in our sponsored member clients’ collateral and rights under Sponsored Member Transactions. See “Offsetting assets and liabilities” in Note 1716 for additional information on our repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements.

Indemnification arrangements

We have provided standard representations for underwriting agreements, acquisition and divestiture agreements, sales of loans and commitments, and other similar types of arrangements and customary indemnification for claims and legal proceedings related to providing financial services that are not otherwise included above. Insurance has been purchased to mitigate certain of these risks. Generally, there are no stated or notional amounts included in these indemnifications and the contingencies triggering the obligation for indemnification are not expected to occur. Furthermore, often counterparties to these transactions provide us with comparable indemnifications. We are unable to develop an estimate of the maximum payout under these

BNY Mellon 9995

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
indemnifications for several reasons. In addition to the lack of a stated or notional amount in a majority of such indemnifications, we are unable to predict the nature of events that would trigger indemnification or the level of indemnification for a certain event. We believe, however, that the possibility that we will have to make any material payments for these indemnifications is remote. At Sept. 30, 20202021 and Dec. 31, 2019,2020, we have not recorded any material liabilities under these arrangements.

Clearing and settlement exchanges

We are a noncontrolling equity investor in, and/or member of, several industry clearing or settlement exchanges through which foreign exchange, securities, derivatives or other transactions settle. Certain of these industry clearing and settlement exchanges require their members to guarantee their obligations and liabilities and/or to provide liquidity support in the event other members do not honor their obligations. We believe the likelihood that a clearing or settlement exchange (of which we are a member) would become insolvent is remote. Additionally, certain settlement exchanges have implemented loss allocation policies that enable the exchange to allocate settlement losses to the members of the exchange. It is not possible to quantify such mark-to-market loss until the loss occurs. Any ancillary costs that occur as a result of any mark-to-market loss cannot be quantified. In addition, we also sponsor clients as members on clearing and settlement exchanges and guarantee their obligations. At Sept. 30, 20202021 and Dec. 31, 2019,2020, we did not record any material liabilities under these arrangements.

Legal proceedings

In the ordinary course of business, The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation and its subsidiaries are routinely named as defendants in or made parties to pending and potential legal actions. We also are subject to governmental and regulatory examinations, information-gathering requests, investigations and proceedings (both formal and informal). Claims for significant monetary damages are often asserted in many of these legal actions, while claims for disgorgement, restitution, penalties and/or other remedial actions or sanctions may be sought in governmental and regulatory matters. It is inherently difficult to predict the eventual outcomes of such matters given their complexity and the particular facts and circumstances at issue in each of these matters.
However, on the basis of our current knowledge and understanding, we do not believe that judgments, settlements or orders, if any, arising from these matters (either individually or in the aggregate, after giving effect to applicable reserves and insurance coverage) will have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position or liquidity of BNY Mellon, although they could have a material effect on our results of operations in a given period.

In view of the inherent unpredictability of outcomes in litigation and regulatory matters, particularly where (i) the damages sought are substantial or indeterminate, (ii) the proceedings are in the early stages, or (iii) the matters involve novel legal theories or a large number of parties, as a matter of course there is considerable uncertainty surrounding the timing or ultimate resolution of litigation and regulatory matters, including a possible eventual loss, fine, penalty or business impact, if any, associated with each such matter. In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, we establish accruals for litigation and regulatory matters when those matters proceed to a stage where they present loss contingencies that are both probable and reasonably estimable. In such cases, there may be a possible exposure to loss in excess of any amounts accrued. We regularly monitor such matters for developments that could affect the amount of the accrual, and will adjust the accrual amount as appropriate. If the loss contingency in question is not both probable and reasonably estimable, we do not establish an accrual and the matter continues to be monitored for any developments that would make the loss contingency both probable and reasonably estimable. We believe that our accruals for legal proceedings are appropriate and, in the aggregate, are not material to the consolidated financial position of BNY Mellon, although future accruals could have a material effect on the results of operations in a given period. In addition, if we have the potential to recover a portion of an estimated loss from a third party, we record a receivable up to the amount of the accrual that is probable of recovery.

For certain of those matters described here for which a loss contingency may, in the future, be reasonably possible (whether in excess of a related accrued liability or where there is no accrued liability), BNY Mellon is currently unable to estimate a range of reasonably possible loss. For those matters described here where BNY Mellon is able to estimate a reasonably possible loss, the aggregate range of such

10096 BNY Mellon

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
reasonably possible loss is up to $750$615 million in excess of the accrued liability (if any) related to those matters. For matters where a reasonably possible loss is denominated in a foreign currency, our estimate is adjusted quarterly based on prevailing exchange rates. We do not consider potential recoveries when estimating reasonably possible losses.

The following describes certain judicial, regulatory and arbitration proceedings involving BNY Mellon:

Mortgage-Securitization Trusts Proceedings
The Bank of New York Mellon has been named as a defendant in a number of legal actions brought by MBS investors alleging that the trustee has expansive duties under the governing agreements, including the duty to investigate and pursue breach of representation and warranty claims against other parties to the MBS transactions. NaN actions commenced in December 2014, December 2015 and February 2017 are pending in New York federal court; and 1 action2 actions commenced in May 2016 isand September 2021 are pending in New York state court. A New York federal court action filed in August 2014 has been dismissed.

Matters Related to R. Allen Stanford
In late December 2005, Pershing LLC (“Pershing”) became a clearing firm for Stanford Group Co. (“SGC”), a registered broker-dealer that was part of a group of entities ultimately controlled by R. Allen Stanford (“Stanford”). Stanford International Bank, also controlled by Stanford, issued certificates of deposit (“CDs”). Some investors allegedly wired funds from their SGC accounts to purchase CDs. In 2009, the Securities and Exchange Commission charged Stanford with operating a Ponzi scheme in connection with the sale of CDs, and SGC was placed into receivership. Alleged purchasers of CDs have filed 2 putative class action proceedings against Pershing: one in November 2009 in Texas federal court, and one in May 2016 in New Jersey federal court. NaNAfter dismissals, 3 lawsuits have been filedremain against Pershing in Louisiana Florida and New Jersey federal courts, which were filed in January 2010, January and February 2015, October 2015 and May 2016. The purchasers allege that Pershing, as SGC’s clearing firm, assisted Stanford in a fraudulent scheme and assert contractual, statutory and common law claims. In March 2019, a group of investors filed a putative class action against The Bank of New York Mellon in New Jersey federal court, making the same allegations as in the prior actions brought against
Pershing. All the cases that have been brought in federal court against Pershing and the case brought against The Bank of New York Mellon have been
consolidated in Texas federal court for discovery purposes. On Dec. 19, 2019, the Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit affirmed the dismissal of 6 individual federal lawsuits brought under Florida law, which will also apply to four other similarly situated cases. On March 18, 2020, the plaintiffs in those lawsuits filed a Petition for Writ of Certiorari seeking permission to appeal to the United States Supreme Court. On Oct. 5, 2020, the United States Supreme Court denied the Petition. In July 2020, after being enjoined from pursuing claims before the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”), an investment firm filed an action against Pershing in Texas federal court. This action has been resolved. Various alleged Stanford CD purchasers asserted similar claims in FINRA arbitration proceedings also have been initiated by alleged purchasers asserting similar claims.proceedings.

Brazilian Postalis Litigation
BNY Mellon Servicos Financeiros DTVM S.A. (“DTVM”), a subsidiary that provides asset services in Brazil, acts as administrator for certain investment funds in which a public pension fund for postal workers called Postalis-Instituto de Seguridade Social dos Correios e Telégrafos (“Postalis”) invested. On Aug. 22, 2014, Postalis sued DTVM in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil for losses related to a Postalis fund for which DTVM is administrator. Postalis alleges that DTVM failed to properly perform duties, including to conduct due diligence of and exert control over the manager. On March 12, 2015, Postalis filed a lawsuit in Rio de Janeiro against DTVM and BNY Mellon Administração de Ativos Ltda. (“Ativos”) alleging failure to properly perform duties relating to another fund of which DTVM is administrator and Ativos is manager. On Dec. 14, 2015, Associacão dos Profissionais dos Correios (“ADCAP”), a Brazilian postal workers association, filed a lawsuit in São Paulo against DTVM and other defendants alleging that DTVM improperly contributed to Postalis investment losses. On March 20, 2017, the lawsuit was dismissed without prejudice, and ADCAP has appealed that decision.appealed. On Aug. 4, 2021, the appellate court overturned the dismissal and sent the lawsuit to a state lower court. On Dec. 17, 2015, Postalis filed 3 lawsuits in Rio de Janeiro against DTVM and Ativos alleging failure to properly perform duties with respect to investments in several other funds. On May 20, 2021, the court in one of those lawsuits entered a $3 million judgment against DTVM and Ativos. On Aug. 23, 2021, DTVM and Ativos filed an appeal of the May 20 decision. On Feb. 4, 2016, Postalis filed a lawsuit in Brasilia against DTVM, Ativos and BNY Mellon Alocação de Patrimônio Ltda. (“Alocação de Patrimônio”), an investment management subsidiary, alleging failure to properly perform duties and liability for losses with

On April 18, 2018, the court dismissed the lawsuit without prejudice,prejudice. On Aug. 4, 2021, the appellate court overturned the dismissal and returned the MPF has appealed that decision.lawsuit to the lower court. In addition, the Tribunal de Contas da UniaoUnião (“TCU”), an administrative tribunal, has initiated two3 proceedings with the purpose of determining liability for losses to two3 investment funds administered by DTVM in which Postalis was the exclusivean investor. On Sept. 9, 2020, TCU rendered a decision in one of the proceedings, finding DTVM and two former Postalis directors jointly and severally liable for approximately $41.7$45 million. TCU also imposed on DTVM a fine of approximately $1.8$2 million. DTVM has filed an administrative appeal of the decision. On Oct. 4, 2019, Postalis and another pension fund filed a request for arbitration in São Paulo against DTVM and Ativos alleging liability for losses to an investment fund for which DTVM was administrator and Ativos was manager. On March 26, 2021, DTVM and Ativos filed a lawsuit challenging the decision rendered by the Arbitration Court with respect to its jurisdiction over the case. On Oct. 25, 2019, Postalis filed a lawsuit in Rio de Janeiro against DTVM and Alocação de Patrimônio, alleging liability for losses in another fund for which DTVM was administrator and Alocação de Patrimônio and Ativos were managers. On June 19, 2020, a lawsuit was filed in federal court in Rio de Janeiro against DTVM, Postalis, and various other defendants alleging liability against DTVM for certain Postalis losses in an investment fund of which DTVM was administrator. On Feb. 10, 2021, Postalis and another pension fund served DTVM in a lawsuit filed in Rio de Janeiro, alleging liability for losses in another investment fund for which DTVM was administrator and the other defendant was manager.

Brazilian Silverado Litigation
DTVM acts as administrator for the Fundo de Investimento em Direitos Creditórios Multisetorial Silverado Maximum (“Silverado Maximum Fund”), which invests in commercial credit receivables. On June 2, 2016, the Silverado Maximum Fund sued DTVM in its capacity as administrator, along with Deutsche Bank S.A. - Banco Alemão in its capacity as custodian and Silverado Gestão e Investimentos Ltda. in its capacity as investment manager. The Fund alleges that each of the defendants failed to fulfill its respective duty, and caused losses to the
Fund for which the defendants are jointly and severally liable.

German Tax Matters
German authorities are investigating past “cum/ex” trading, which involved the purchase of equity securities on or shortly before the dividend date, but settled after that date, potentially resulting in an unwarranted refund of withholding tax. German authorities have taken the view that past cum/ex trading may have resulted in tax avoidance or evasion. European subsidiaries of BNY Mellon have been informed by German authorities about investigations into potential cum/ex trading by certain third-party investment funds, where one of the subsidiaries had acquired entities that served as depositary and/or fund manager for those third-party investment funds. We have received information requests from the authorities relating to pre-acquisition activity and are cooperating fully with those requests. We have not received any tax demand concerning cum/ex trading. In August 2019, the District Court of Bonn ordered that one of these subsidiaries be joined as a secondary party in connection with the prosecution of unrelated individual defendants. Trial commenced in September 2019. In March 2020, the court stated that it would refrain from taking action against the subsidiary in order to expedite the conclusion of the trial. The court convicted the unrelated individual defendants, and determined that the cum/ex trading activities of the relevant third-party investment funds were unlawful. In November and December 2020, we received secondary liability notices from the German tax authorities totaling approximately $150 million related to pre-acquisition activity in various funds for which the entities we acquired were depositary and/or fund manager. We have appealed the notices. In connection with the acquisition of the subject entities, we obtained an indemnity for liabilities from the sellers that we intend to pursue as necessary.

Note 19–18–Lines of business

We have an internal information system that produces performance data along product and service lines for our 2 principal businesses and the Other segment. The primary products and services and types of revenue for our principal businesses and a description of the Other segment are presented in Note 24 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 20192020 Annual Report.

Business accounting principles

Our business data has been determined on an internal management basis of accounting, rather than the generally accepted accounting principlesGAAP which is used for consolidated financial reporting. These measurement principles are designed so that reported results of the businesses will track their economic performance.

102 BNY Mellon

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements(continued)
Business results are subject to reclassification when organizational changes are made, or for refinements in revenue and expense allocation methodologies. Refinements are typically reflected on a prospective basis. There were no significant organizationalreclassification or organization changes in the second or third quarters of 2020. 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. The intersegment activity is eliminated 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. Also 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 were restated in the first quarter of 2020 for both reclassifications.2021.

The accounting policies of the businesses are the same as those described in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 20192020 Annual Report.

The results of our businesses are presented and analyzed on an internal management reporting basis.

Revenue amounts reflect fee and other revenue generated by each business and include revenue for services provided between the segments that are also provided to third parties. Fee and other revenue transferred between businesses under revenue transfer agreements is included within other revenue in each business.
Revenues and expenses associated with specific client bases are included in those businesses. For example, foreign exchange activity associated with clients using custody products is included in Investment Services.
Net interest revenue is allocated to businesses based on the yields on the assets and liabilities generated by each business. We employ a funds transfer pricing system that matches funds with the
specific assets and liabilities of each business based on their interest sensitivity and maturity characteristics.
The provision for credit losses associated with the respective credit portfolios is reflected in each business segment.
Incentives expense related to restricted stock and RSUs is allocated to the businesses.each business segment.
Support and other indirect expenses, including services provided between segments that are not provided to third parties or not subject to a revenue transfer agreement, are allocated to businesses based on internally developed methodologies and reflected in noninterest expense.
Recurring FDIC expense is allocated to the businesses based on average deposits generated within each business.
Litigation expense is generally recorded in the business in which the charge occurs.
Management of the securities portfolio is a shared service contained in the Other segment. As a result, gains and losses associated with the valuation of the securities portfolio are generally included in the Other segment.
Client deposits serve as the primary funding source for our securities portfolio. We typically allocate all interest revenue to the businesses generating the deposits. Accordingly, accretion related to the portion of the securities portfolio restructured in 2009 has been included in the results of the businesses.
Balance sheet assets and liabilities and their related income or expense are specifically assigned to each business. Businesses with a net liability position have been allocated assets.
Goodwill and intangible assets are reflected within individual businesses.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures

Our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, with participation by the members of the Disclosure Committee, has responsibility for ensuring that there is an adequate and effective process for establishing, maintaining, and evaluating disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our SEC reports is timely recorded, processed, summarized and reported and that information required to be disclosed by BNY Mellon is accumulated and communicated to BNY Mellon’s management to allow timely decisions regarding the required disclosure. In addition, our ethics hotline can also be used by employees and others for the anonymous communication of concerns about financial controls or reporting matters. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives.

As of the end of the period covered by this report, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting

In the ordinary course of business, we may routinely modify, upgrade or enhance our internal controls and procedures for financial reporting. There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act during the third quarter of 20202021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Part II - Other Information
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

The information required by this Item is set forth in the “Legal proceedings” section in Note 1817 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, which portion is incorporated herein by reference in response to this item.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

The following discussion supplements the discussion of risk factors that could affect our business, financial condition or results of operations set forth in Part I, Item 1A., Risk Factors, on pages 75 through 99 of our 2019 Annual Report. The discussion of Risk Factors, as so supplemented, sets forth our most significant risk factors that could affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. However, other factors, besides those discussed below or in our 2019 Annual Report or other of our reports filed with or furnished to the SEC, also could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. We cannot assure you that the risk factors described below or elsewhere in this report and such other reports address all potential risks that we may face. These risk factors also serve to describe factors which may cause our results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements included herein or in other documents or statements that make reference to this Form 10-Q. See “Forward-looking Statements.”

The coronavirus pandemic is adversely affecting us and creates significant risks and uncertainties for our business, and the ultimate impact of the pandemic on us will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.

The coronavirus pandemic has negatively affected the global economy, decreased liquidity in fixed income markets, created significant volatility and disruption in financial and equity markets, increased unemployment levels and disrupted businesses in many industries. This has resulted in increased demand on our transaction processing and clearance capabilities in many of our Investment Services businesses and volatility in the levels and mix of the assets under management of our Investment and Wealth Management business. Moreover, governmental actions in response to the pandemic are meaningfully influencing the interest rate environment, which has reduced, and is expected to continue to reduce, our net interest margin. As a
result, we have granted and may continue to grant money market fee waivers. The effects of the pandemic have resulted, and could continue to result, in higher and more volatile provisions for credit losses for financial instruments subject to ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, held by us. The continuing effects of the pandemic could also result in increased credit losses and charge-offs, particularly if our credit exposures increase and as more clients and customers experience credit deterioration, as well as increased risk of other asset write-downs and impairments, including, but not limited to, equity investments, goodwill and intangibles. Any of these events could potentially result in a material adverse impact on our business and results of operations.

In addition, reliance on work-from-home capabilities by us, our clients and other industry participants, as well as the potential inability to maintain critical staff in operational facilities due to stay-at-home orders or operational precautions across jurisdictions, illness and quarantines present heightened cybersecurity, information security and operational risks. Any disruption to our ability to deliver services to our clients and customers could result in potential liability to our clients and customers, regulatory fines, penalties or other sanctions, increased operational costs or harm to our reputation.

The pandemic has resulted in an increase in our balance sheet and volatility in risk-weighted assets, as we experience elevated deposit levels. Moreover, on March 15, 2020, we, along with the other member banks of the Financial Services Forum, announced that we would temporarily suspend share repurchases through the second quarter of 2020 to preserve capital and liquidity in order to further our objective of using our capital and liquidity to support our clients and customers. Further, in June 2020, the Federal Reserve announced that it has required participating CCAR firms, including us, to update and resubmit their capital plans and that, as a result, unless otherwise approved by the Federal Reserve, participating firms would not be permitted, during the third quarter of 2020, to conduct open market common stock repurchases, to increase their common stock dividends or to pay common stock dividends that exceed average net income for the preceding four quarters. The Federal Reserve has extended these limitations to the fourth quarter and may further extend these limitations. Our ability to resume our common stock repurchase program and maintain our

BNY Mellon 109

Part II - Other Information (continued)
common stock dividend depends on factors such as prevailing market conditions, our outlook for the economic environment, the performance of our business, the additional capital analysis required by the Federal Reserve, and whether the Federal Reserve keeps the limitations for the third and fourth quarters of 2020 in place for subsequent quarters.

The extent to which the pandemic impacts our business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations, as well as our regulatory capital, will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including the
scope and duration of the pandemic, the effectiveness of our work-from-home arrangements, actions taken by governmental authorities in response to the pandemic, as well as the direct and indirect impact on us, our clients and customers, and third parties. As the pandemic adversely affects the United States or the global economy, or our business, financial condition, liquidity or results of operations, it may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and any subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

(c)    The following table discloses repurchases of our common stock made in the third quarter of 2020.2021. All of the Company’s preferred stock outstanding has preference over the Company’s common stock with respect to the payment of dividends.

In June 2020,2021, in connection with the Federal ReserveReserve’s release of the 2021 CCAR stress tests, we announced that it has required participating Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review (“CCAR”) firms, including us, to update and resubmit their capital plans and that, as a result, unless otherwiseshare repurchase program approved by our Board of Directors providing for the Federal Reserve, participating firms were not permittedrepurchase of up to conduct open market$6.0 billion of common stock repurchasebeginning in the third quarter of 2020. On Sept. 30, 2020, the Federal Reserve extended the limitation on open market common stock repurchase2021 and continuing through the fourth quarter of 2020.2022. This new share repurchase plan replaced all previously authorized share repurchase plans.

BNY Mellon intends to resume the common stock repurchase program as early as possible, depending on factors such as prevailing market conditions, our outlook for the economic environment and the additional capital analysis required by the Federal Reserve.
Share repurchases may be executed through open market repurchases, in privately negotiated transactions or by other means, including through repurchase plans designed to comply with Rule
10b5-1 and other derivative, accelerated share
repurchase and other structured transactions. The timing and exact amount of any common stock repurchases will depend on various factors, including market conditions and the common stock trading price; the Company’s capital position, liquidity and financial performance; alternative uses of capital; and legal and regulatory limitations and considerations.
