interests arising solely from the related person’s position as an executive officer, employee or consultant of another entity (whether or not the person is also a director of such entity) that is a party to the transaction, where (1) the related person and his or her immediate family members do not receive any special benefits as a result of the transaction and (2) the annual amount involved in the transaction equals less than the greater of $1 million or 2% of the consolidated gross revenues of the other entity that is a party to the transaction during that entity’s last completed fiscal year; or
a transaction that involves discretionary charitable contributions from State Street to atax-exempt organization where a related person is a director, trustee, employee or executive officer, provided the related person and his or her immediate family members do not receive any special benefits as a result of the transaction, and further provided that, where a related person is an executive officer of thetax-exempt organization, the amount of the discretionary charitable contributions in any completed year in the last 3 fiscal years is not more than the greater of $1 million, or 2% of that organization’s consolidated gross revenues in the last completed fiscal year of that organization (in applying this test, State Street’s automatic matching of director or employee charitable contributions to a charitable organization will not be included in the amount of State Street’s discretionary contributions)

Determining 2021 NEO Compensation
We use a total incentive compensation approach, focusing primarily on corporate performance. The amount of each NEO’s incentive compensation award is determined using the same percentage of target for all NEOs based on corporate performance, resultswith an individual modifier applied as appropriate. The award is delivered through various cash and equity-based vehicles, including performance-based restricted stock units (RSUs). In the summary below, we describe how we determine total incentive compensation and then describe the vehicles through which we deliver it.
To determine our NEOs’ incentive compensation awards for
the year, including providing a more direct link to annual corporate results,2021, the Committee
approved a new compensation structure as described under the heading “New Compensation Program Features for the 2019 Compensation Year.” The payout under the 2019 program is determined based on individual performance (60% of the incentive award target) andstarted by evaluating overall corporate performance
(40% of the incentive award target).Corporate Performance Summary
2019 began with significant challenges, including financial market weakness, falling interest rates and increased client fee pricing pressure, and our revenue,pre-tax margin, diluted earnings per share (EPS) and return on average common equity (ROE) all decreased in 2019 from 2018. In the face of these headwinds, we acted aggressively to stabilize revenues and reduce expenses and made progress on key business objectives. Actions included:
strengthening our value proposition to clients, including the ongoingbuild-out of ourfront-to-back State Street Alpha platform
successfully executing a firm-wide expense savings program that exceeded initial targets and resulted in approximately $415 million in gross expense savings during 2019
reorganized the leadership of our multi-regional international business under a single executive to further our growth objectives
Due to these actions and the steady recovery of U.S. average market levels in 2019,our financial results in the second half of the year improved relative to the first half of the year. Total revenue for the second half of the year increased by approximately 3%, total fee revenue increased approximately 2% and EPS increased approximately 7%, in each case relative to the first half of the year. With regard to risk management performance, we made progress on initiatives to improve our financial risk posture, but did not achieve desired non-financial risk improvement. While we know more is required for us to advance our overall performance, we are nonetheless confident in the trajectory of our business and focused on continuing to improve our performance.
In determining our NEOs’ compensation for 2019, the Committee evaluated State Street’s overall corporate performance. Consistent with prior years, this evaluation included a structured assessment of corporate performance based on three discrete scorecards that capture State Street’s annual performance against financial, business and risk management objectives. Improvement ingoals. These goals were set at the second halfbeginning of 2021 and were measured throughout the year particularly with respect to financial and businessusing performance tempered the disappointing start to 2019. However, the Committee concluded that State Street’s full year Overall Performance was Below Expectations as a result of financial and risk management performance against objectives. Our corporate performance is described in more detail under the heading “2019 Compensation Decisions—Corporate Performance.” The Committee’s conclusions are shown below:
| | |
Corporate Performance Scorecards | | 2019 Committee Evaluation |
| |
Financial Performance | | Below Expectations |
| |
Business Performance | | At Expectations |
| |
Risk Management Performance | | Below Expectations |
| |
Overall Performance | | Below Expectations |
Corporate Performance Evaluation Outcome.Based on the Committee’s evaluation of State Street’s overall performance, the Committee applied a 62.5% factor against target for the corporate component of the 2019 incentive awards made to all executive officers, as described below.
NEO Performance Summary
In determining our NEOs’ compensation for 2019, the Committee also evaluated each NEO’s individual performance, including assessments of:
financial, business and risk management objectives derived from the corporate scorecards
leadership and talent-related performance, including a focus on diversity and inclusion and employee engagement and development

| | 2020 NOTICE OF MEETING AND PROXY STATEMENT
|
While overall corporate performance for 2019 was Below Expectations, State Street’s management team took a number of actions that delivered strong results in the second half of 2019, reversing unsatisfactory revenue trends and exceeding expense management goals. The Committee’s review of each NEO’s individual performance is discussed in more detail in the discussion under “2019 Compensation Decisions—Individual Performance and Compensation Decisions” below.
NEO Incentive Compensation Decisions
For 2019, the Committee awarded our NEOs total incentive awards ranging from 83% to 97% of target, reflecting both our performance as a company as well as each NEO’s individual performance, as described in more detail under the heading “2019 Compensation Decisions—Individual Performance and Compensation Decisions.”
Given Mr. O’Hanley’s responsibility as Chief Executive Officer for overall company performance, the Committee’s decision on his compensation was primarily driven by its evaluation of overall company results, and he received a total incentive award of 83% of target. This decision resulted in equity- and cash-based incentive elements below target, as presented in the chart below:
NEO Incentive Compensation Mix(1)
Incentive awards are delivered through four award vehicles, as described in the “Compensation Vehicles and Design” table below. The incentive compensation mix emphasizes deferral and performance-based equity. 90% of incentive awards for our NEOs are deferred. In addition, 67% of our CEO’s and 62% of our other NEOs’ equity awards are performance-based restricted stock units, referred to as performance-based RSUs. This structure is designed to drive financial performance and to align incentives with the performance experienced by our shareholders. For 2019, incentive awards were delivered in: performance-based RSUs; deferred stock awards, referred to as DSAs; deferred value awards (deferred cash), referred to as DVAs; and immediate cash, as shown below:

Sound Compensation and Corporate Governance Practices
Our NEO compensation practices are designed to support good governance and mitigate against excessive risk-taking. We regularly review and refine our governance practices considering several factors, including feedback from ongoing engagement with our shareholders.
| | | | |
| | What We Do
| | |
| | • Long-term performance-based equity awards in the form of performance-based RSUs
• Significant deferred equity- and cash-based incentive compensation
• Active engagement with shareholders on compensation and governance issues
• Close interaction between the Human Resources Committee and our Risk Committee and Examining and Audit Committee
• Independent compensation consultant
| | • Clawback and forfeiture provisions to permit recoupment of incentive compensation
• “Double-trigger”change-of-control required for deferred incentive compensation acceleration and cash payments
• Stock ownership policy, including holding requirements for NEOs who are below full ownership guidelines
• Non-compete and other restrictive covenants
• Annual review of incentive compensation design for alignment with risk management principles
|
| | | | |
| | What We Do Not Do
| | |
| | • Nochange-of-control excise taxgross-up
• No “single-trigger”change-of-control vesting or cash payments
• No option repricing
| | • No short-selling, options trading, hedging or speculative transactions in State Street securities
• No taxgross-ups on perquisites(1)
• No multi-year guaranteed incentive awards
|
(1) | Excluding certain international assignment and relocation benefits.
|
Shareholder Outreach and“Say-on-Pay”
In reviewing compensation design and governance practices, the Committee considers market trends and regulatory guidance, as well as other factors, including shareholder feedback. The Committee receives feedback from our shareholders through two primary channels:
• | | Shareholder Outreach. We engage with our largest shareholders to understand their perspectives on our compensation and governance programs. For 2019, we engaged or requested engagement with shareholders representing more than half of our outstanding common stock
|
• | | “Say-on-Pay.” At our annual shareholder meeting, we ask our shareholders to approve anon-binding advisory proposal on executive compensation. At our 2019 annual meeting, our shareholders approved the proposal with over 90% of the votes cast
|
Based on discussions with our shareholders and the results of our“say-on-pay” vote, the Committee believes that our shareholders support our overall executive compensation program. For the 2019 compensation year, we therefore continued many of the elements of our existing compensation program, such as maintaining a high level of performance-based equity and deferral for incentive compensation awards to our NEOs. One area of specific discussion we had with several of our shareholders in recent years involved the clarity and transparency of the relationship between individual pay outcomes and company performance. For example, several shareholders requested additional detail on the relationship between scorecard-based evaluations of corporate performance and individual pay decisions. These discussions, together with long-term strategic and other considerations, informed the changes to the structure of our compensation program for 2019, described under “New Compensation Program Features for the 2019 Compensation Year,” below.

Compensation Philosophy
State Street’s compensation program for NEOs and other executive officers aims to:
attract, retain and motivate superior executives and drive strong leadership behaviors
reward those executives for meeting or exceeding individual and company financial and business objectives
drive long-term shareholder value and financial stability
align incentive compensation with the performance results experienced by our shareholders through the use of significant levels of deferred equity-based compensation
provide equal pay for work of equal value
achieve the preceding goals in a manner aligned with sound risk management and our corporate values
New Compensation Program Features for the 2019 Compensation Year
To better align pay outcomes with both corporate and individual performance results for the year, the Committee approved a new compensation structure. The changes from thepre-2019 compensation program along with the associated rationale are outlined below:
Comparison of Pre-2019 Compensation Program vs. 2019 Compensation Program for NEOs Pre-2019 Compensation Program 2019 Compensation Program Incentive Compensation Targets and Delivery Vehicles Separate annual and long-term incentive targets established for each executive officer Annual incentive award varied within a range of 0 - 200% of target and was delivered through immediate cash and DVAs Long-term incentive award varied within a range of 80 - 120% of target and was delivered through performance-based RSUs and DSAs A single total incentive target established for each executive officer Incentive award may vary within a range of 0-200% of target and is delivered through the same four vehicles used previously and described below To determine final incentive value, target is split into individual performance and corporate performance components Determining Individual Compensation Awards Annual incentive award driven by enterprise- and individual-level scorecard-based evaluations of financial, strategic and risk management performance Long-term incentive award driven by State Street's long term performance trend and the core responsibilities associated with the NEO's role overtime, including leadership and talent-related performance Determining Individual Compensation Awards Individual performance component driven by individual-level scorecard-based evaluations of individual financial, strategic, risk and leadership and talent-related performance Corporate performance component driven by enterprise-level scorecard-based evaluations of financial, strategic and risk management performance Individual and corporate performance component values are summed and delivered through established incentive award mix Rationale for Changes Separate individual and corporate performance components provide clearer accountability for individual and corporate results Pay structure results in a wider range of possible pay outcomes and more closely links equity-based awards to current year performance Individual performance component increases individual accountability for current year outcomes and results in greater pay variability The same factor is applied to the corporate performance component for all executive officers, providing a more transparent link to annual corporate results and promoting shared accountability

Recourse Provisions. All incentive compensation awards for our NEOs are subject to clawback and forfeiture provisions. For more information, see the discussion under “Other Elements of Compensation—Adjustment and Recourse Mechanisms” below.
Restrictive Covenants. Each of the deferred incentive compensation awards granted to our NEOs in 2019 includes restrictive covenants concerningnon-competition andnon-solicitation.
2019 Compensation Decisions
Total Compensation Approach
The Committee evaluates individual compensation for our NEOs and other executive officers by looking at total direct compensation, consisting of base salary and incentive compensation. The Committee evaluates base salary and incentive compensation levels at least annually.
Base Salary. Base salary is a relatively small portion of total compensation for the NEOs. None of the NEOs received a base salary increase in 2019.
Setting Individual Incentive Compensation Targets. The Committee establishes incentive compensation targets for our NEOs each year. The targets are based on each executive’s role and responsibilities, performance trend, competitive and market factors and internal equity.
For 2019, each NEO’s target total compensation was allocated as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Name | | Base Salary Rate | | Total Target Incentive Compensation | | Target Total Compensation |
| | | |
Ronald P. O’Hanley | | | $ | 800,000 | | | | $ | 13,200,000 | | | | $ | 14,000,000 | |

(1) | In connection with his offer of employment, State Street agreed to provide Mr. Aristeguieta with compensation designed to maintain his 2019 compensation near his expected level of compensation at his prior employer.
|
Determining Incentive Compensation Awards. Following the end of the performance year, the Committee evaluates the individual and corporate component values for each NEO in light of input from the CEO (on the other NEOs) as well as other directors, market compensation levels, trends and practices and corporate financial performance relative to peers to reach final total incentive award amounts, as described above under “New Compensation Program Features for the 2019 Compensation Year”. In evaluating performance, the Committee may consider additional factors or give greater or less weight to any factor.
Once the final incentive compensation amount has been determined, the total incentive value is delivered through the established mix of performance-based RSUs, DSAs, DVAs and immediate cash vehicles described in the “Compensation Vehicles and Design” table above.
Corporate Performance
Framework Evaluation.The corporate performance framework uses a structured evaluation of three discrete, multi-factor scorecards, which containincluded both qualitative and quantitative and qualitative metrics, and cover:
risk management performance
| | | | |

| | 2020 NOTICE OF MEETING AND PROXY STATEMENT
|
The Committee considered the financial, business and risk management performance scorecards in July and December 2019, as well as final 2019 scorecards in early 2020. The full Board of Directors also reviews financial performance at each Board meeting. The Committee’s overall evaluation of corporate performance, balancing positive and negative performance outcomes in each of these scorecards, is a primary driver of incentive compensation decisions for our Chief Executive Officer and for the corporate performance incentive factor for our other NEOs.
Under the 2019 compensation program, all executive officers receive the same corporate performance factor for the 40% of their total target incentive that is based on the Committee’s evaluation of overall corporate performance. Improvement in the second half of the year, particularly with respect to financial and business performance, tempered the disappointing start to 2019. However, the Committee concluded that State Street’s full year performance was Below Expectations as a result of financial and risk management performance against objectives. Consequently, all executive officers received only 62.5% of the corporate performance component of their incentive compensation target, impacting both equity- and cash-based incentive compensation awards. A description of each of the three corporate performance scorecards, including second half trend evaluations, is found below.
Financial Performance.assessments. During its evaluation of 20192021 performance, the Committee had access toreviewed financial results presented in conformity with GAAP, as well as financial results presented on a basis that excludes or adjusts one or more items from GAAP. This latter basis is aGAAP (a non-GAAP presentation). A summary of each scorecard and the Committee’s evaluation are provided in the table below, with further detail provided under “2021 Performance and Compensation Decisions – Corporate Performance.”

Corporate Performance Evaluation Outcome. Based on all of the above factors, as reviewed in detail under “2021 Performance and Compensation Decisions—Corporate Performance” below, the Committee applied a corporate performance factor of 110% of target for the 2021 performance year incentive compensation awards made to all NEOs.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
NEO Performance and Incentive Compensation Award Decisions
In determining our NEOs’ incentive compensation awards for 2021, the Committee also evaluated each NEO’s individual performance, consisting of:
assessments of performance against individual financial, business and risk management objectives; and
evaluation of performance against pre-defined leadership- and talent-related goals for each NEO. These goals are intended to promote a focus on factors that the Committee assesses from both a short- and long-term perspective, such as inclusion, diversity and equity (ID&E), employee turnover and leadership behaviors.
For 2021, the Committee made total incentive compensation awards to our CEO at 115% of target and our other NEOs at 110% of target, primarily reflecting overall company performance. In determining whether individual performance-based adjustments from the corporate factor were warranted, the Committee considered performance against individual goals derived from our corporate goals and aligned to each NEO’s role.
The Committee’s decision to make a positive adjustment from the corporate factor for Mr. O’Hanley’s incentive compensation reflected his individual performance, including the important actions he took in 2021:
launching an enhanced Investment Servicing strategy;
continuing to execute on our Alpha strategy with nine new Alpha clients and the launch of Alpha for private markets;
driving our long-term strategy for State Street Global Advisors, including the launch of new environmental, social and governance (ESG) products in 2021; and
announcing our agreement to acquire the BBH Investor Services business.
Based on these actions and results, the Committee believed that Mr. O’Hanley demonstrated decisive leadership, while delivering strong results for our shareholders. As a result, Mr. O’Hanley received a 5% adjustment for individual performance, resulting in a total incentive compensation award of 115% of target. Additional detail on Mr. O’Hanley’s compensation decision is provided under the heading “2021 Performance and Compensation Decisions—Individual Compensation Decisions Summary.”
For the NEOs other than the CEO, the Committee determined that the corporate performance factor of 110% of target appropriately reflected the strong contributions of each NEO to the overall corporate results.
Additional detail on the Committee’s assessments of individual performance for each NEO is provided under the heading “2021 Performance and Compensation Decisions—Individual Compensation Decisions Summary.”
NEO Incentive Compensation Mix
Incentive compensation awards earned by our NEOs are typically delivered through short- and long-term award vehicles, including both cash and equity, as described in the “Compensation Vehicles” table. The 2021 incentive compensation mix emphasizes deferral and performance-based equity and is designed to drive financial performance and to align incentives with the performance experienced by our shareholders.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
For 2021, consistent with the 2020 performance year, the Committee eliminated the immediate cash payment for our CEO and shifted all of his cash-delivered incentive compensation into an equity-based vehicle to further promote alignment with the shareholder experience. Thus, the Committee awarded long-term cash-settled restricted stock units (CRSUs) in lieu of any immediate and deferred cash. As a result, Mr. O’Hanley’s 2021 incentive award was delivered in 100% deferred equity-based vehicles. For the 2021 performance year,
100% of incentive compensation for our CEO and 90% for our other NEOs was deferred;
100% of incentive compensation for our CEO and 65% for our other NEOs was equity-based; and
67% of equity-settled incentive compensation (i.e., performance-based restricted stock units (RSUs) and deferred stock awards (DSAs)) for our CEO and 62% for our other NEOs was tied to specific performance metrics (i.e., performance-based RSUs):
Linking Pay with Performance Over Time
The Committee reviews, evaluates and approves our executive compensation program annually, and designs our executive compensation program to effectively align pay with performance and shareholder interests over time. The design elements supporting this goal include our use of shareholder return-based metrics in assessing annual financial performance, heavy reliance on deferred equity-based compensation vehicles and the use of relative TSR in our long-term incentive design. As a result, realizable pay (the value of prior awards granted)(1) reflects our shareholders’ experience as shown in the charts below; the value ultimately received by our executives will continue to be impacted by changes in our stock price prior to vesting.

Shareholder Outreach and Responsiveness
In 2021, we maintained the expanded shareholder outreach program we put in place in 2020, which allowed us to gain additional insight into shareholder perspectives, including on our executive compensation program. We conducted this enhanced engagement both before and after our 2021 “Say on Pay” vote, which received 94.3% support. Committee chair, Sara Mathew, participated in several of our 2021 shareholder meetings, which covered topics such as our executive compensation program design, corporate governance practices, climate and sustainability efforts, ID&E-related initiatives and progress made against the ‘‘10 Actions,’’ and other ESG topics, including the use of ESG performance measures in our executive compensation program. At these meetings, we receive valuable feedback that informs the design of our executive compensation program and our approach to disclosure.
Based on discussions with our shareholders and the results of our “Say on Pay” vote, the Committee believes that our shareholders support our overall executive compensation program. As discussed in last year’s CD&A, the current structure was informed by expanded investor outreach in 2020, resulting in several notable enhancements to our program and disclosures. These enhancements include redesigned incentive compensation awards based on corporate performance with an individual modifier and two new metrics in the long-term performance-based RSU vehicle aligned to our long-term strategy. For the 2021 performance year, based on the “Say on Pay” vote outcome and continuing dialogue with our investors, we maintained our existing compensation program, which we believe effectively aligns pay with performance and reflects shareholder input. We also continued our enhanced disclosure approach, providing additional detail on Committee considerations in assessing company and individual performance. Additional detail on our shareholder outreach in 2021 can be found under “Corporate Governance at State Street - Shareholder Engagement and Communications.”

State Street’s compensation program for NEOs and other executive officers aims to:
attract, retain and motivate superior executives and drive strong leadership behaviors
reward those executives for meeting or exceeding company and individual financial, business and leadership- and talent-related objectives
drive long-term shareholder value and financial stability
align incentive compensation with the performance results experienced by our shareholders through the use of significant levels of deferred equity-based compensation
provide equal pay for work of equal value
achieve the preceding goals in a manner aligned with sound risk management and our corporate values

TABLE OF CONTENTS
The performance-based RSU design described below is intended to align the incentives for our executives with our long-term performance and financial goals. Our strategy and operating model are driving both organic and inorganic growth. As a result, the HRC was able to increase the performance targets for the performance-based RSUs granted in 2022, as described in more detail below.

| Core performance metrics, including prior year adjusted performance results are presented on a non-GAAP basis in this section, reflecting adjustments described in footnote 2. Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or superior to, financial measures determined in conformity with GAAP. For a reconciliation of non-GAAP measures presented in this CD&A, see Appendix C. All performance metric targets reflect anticipated effects of the planned acquisition of the BBH Investor Services business. |
(2)
| All three core performance metrics are subject to adjustment for pre-established, objectively determinable factors. Prior to granting the performance- based RSU award, the Committee establishes the factors that could affect the performance measures during the performance period and which are then excluded from the performance measure calculation, such as: acquisitions, dispositions and similar transactions and related securities issuances and expenses; changes in accounting principles, tax or banking law or regulations; litigation or regulatory settlements arising from events that occurred prior to the performance period; and restructuring charges and expenses. In addition, the Committee retains the discretionary right to disregard any calculation adjustment that would result in an increase to average ROE, average pre-tax margin or fee revenue growth measured on a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) basis, and to reduce the payout under the performance award for other material items or events. |

| Achievement of ROE and pre-tax margin targets for the performance-based RSUs is calculated based on a simple average of the achievement in each year in the performance period. Achievement of the fee revenue target is calculated based on the CAGR during the performance period. |

TABLE OF CONTENTS
2021 Performance and Compensation Decisions Total Compensation Approach
The Committee determines the amount of individual compensation to be awarded to our NEOs by looking at total direct compensation, consisting of base salary and incentive compensation. The Committee evaluates base salary and target incentive compensation levels at least annually.
Base Salary. Base salary is a relatively small portion of the total compensation for our NEOs. No base salary increases were provided to NEOs in 2021.
Setting Individual Incentive Compensation Targets. The Committee establishes incentive compensation targets for our NEOs each year. The targets are based on each executive’s role, responsibilities and performance trend, as well as competitive and market factors and internal equity.
For 2021, each NEO’s target total compensation was allocated as follows:
| Ronald P. O’Hanley | | | $1,000,000 | | | $13,500,000 | | | $14,500,000 | |
| Eric W. Aboaf | | | 700,000 | | | 6,300,000 | | | 7,000,000 | |
| Francisco Aristeguieta | | | 700,000 | | | 6,575,000 | | | 7,275,000 | |
| Andrew J. Erickson | | | 700,000 | | | 6,300,000 | | | 7,000,000 | |
| Louis D. Maiuri | | | 700,000 | | | 6,300,000 | | | 7,000,000 | |
2021 – 2022 Target Incentive Compensation Changes. The Committee increased Mr. Aristeguieta’s target incentive compensation for 2021 from $6,300,000 to $6,575,000 and for 2022 from $6,575,000 to $7,300,000, consistent with his 2019 offer of employment to join State Street and reflecting the expansion of his role in 2020 as Chief Executive Officer of State Street Institutional Services. The Committee also increased Mr. Maiuri’s target incentive compensation for 2022 from $6,300,000 to $7,300,000, in recognition of his overall company leadership responsibilities and reflecting the expansion of his role to include oversight of our Marketing and Client Experience teams. The Committee considers the total target compensation for each NEO to be appropriate based on the scope of each executive’s role and in light of relevant internal and external benchmarks.
41 2022 Notice of Meeting and Proxy Statement / State Street Corporation
TABLE OF CONTENTS
Determining Incentive Compensation Awards. The Committee’s process for determining incentive compensation award amounts is illustrated in the framework below. (1)
| Relative performance is measured separately against both our Direct Peers (Northern Trust Corporation and The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation) and relevant indices, including the KBW Bank Index and the Capital Markets and Banks subsets of the S&P 500 Financial Index. |
(2)
| Incentive compensation awards may range from 0 to 200% of target. |
In determining incentive compensation award amounts, the Committee evaluates overall company performance as a primary factor and individual NEO performance as a potential modifier. The Committee also considers market compensation levels and expected trends. Overall company performance drives the final incentive compensation award amount unless individual performance and/or market considerations warrant an adjustment, which is limited to an addition to or subtraction from the corporate performance factor of up to thirty percent. In evaluating performance, the Committee may consider additional factors and does not assign a specific weight to any individual factor.
The Committee’s evaluation of overall company performance is based on a review of financial, business and risk management performance relative to corporate goals set at the beginning of each year. The Committee’s evaluation of individual NEO performance is based on a review of financial, business and risk management scorecards derived from the associated corporate goals, and based on each NEO’s role and responsibilities.
Our human capital strategy is a meaningful driver of our overall enterprise strategy. Therefore, the Committee evaluates performance against human capital-related objectives, including with respect to ID&E, both as part of its assessment of the company’s business performance and in evaluating each NEO’s individual performance.
Once the final incentive compensation amount is determined, it is delivered through a mix of vehicles. The mix used for 2021 incentive compensation awards is shown in the table above.
2022 Notice of Meeting and Proxy Statement / State Street Corporation 42
TABLE OF CONTENTS
Evaluation Process. The Committee reviewed preliminary corporate performance scorecards in July and December 2021, and the final 2021 scorecards in early 2022. The full Board of Directors also reviewed financial performance at each Board meeting, and the Risk Committee reviewed the risk management performance scorecards in July and December 2021. Based on its review of corporate performance, including “Above Expectations” financial and business performance and “At Expectations” risk management performance, the Committee concluded that State Street’s full-year corporate performance was “Above Expectations.”
Consequently, the Committee’s basis for determining the amount of 2021 incentive compensation for our NEOs, prior to differentiation based on individual performance, was 110% of target. More details on our performance against each of the three corporate performance scorecards are found below.
Financial Performance. During its evaluation of 2021 performance, the Committee reviewed financial results presented in conformity with GAAP, as well as financial results presented on a basis that excludes or adjusts one or more items from GAAP (a non-GAAP presentation). In general, our non-GAAP financial results exclude the impact of revenue and expenses outside of State Street’s normal course of business or other notable items. Management believes that this presentation of financial information facilitates an investor’s and the Committee’s further understanding and analysis of State Street’s financial performance and trends with respect to State Street’s business operations fromperiod-to-period, including providing additional insight into our underlying margin and profitability. Financial results are presented on anon-GAAP basis in this section, unless otherwise noted.Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or superior to, financial measures determined in conformity with GAAP. For a reconciliation ofnon-GAAP measures presented in this CD&A, seeAppendix
C.C.2019 began with significant challenges, including financial market weakness, falling interest rates
43 2022 Notice of Meeting and increased client fee pricing pressure, and our revenue,pre-tax margin, EPS and ROE all decreased in 2019 from 2018. In the face of these headwinds, we acted aggressively to stabilize revenues and reduce expenses. Actions included strengthening our value proposition to clients, including the ongoingbuild-out of ourfront-to-backProxy Statement / State Street Alpha platform, and the successful execution of a firm-wide expense savings program that exceeded initial targets and resulted in approximately $415 million in gross expense savings during 2019.Corporation
Due to these actions and the steady recovery of U.S. average market levels in 2019, our financial results in the second half of the year improved relative to the first half of the year.
