(h)
Represents the securities on loan managed by the Investment Services business. Excludes securities for which BNY Mellon acts as an agent, beginning in the fourth quarter of 2013, on behalf of CIBC Mellon clients, which totaled $66 billion at
March 31, 2014
and $62 billion at
Dec. 31, 2013
.
(i)
At March 31, 2014 and Dec. 31, 2013, the estimated fully phased-in Basel III CET1 ratios are based on our interpretation of the final rules released by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve (the “Federal Reserve”) on July 2, 2013 (the “Final Capital Rules”), which will be gradually phased-in over a multi-year period. At March 31, 2013, these ratios were estimated using our interpretation of the Federal Reserve’s Notices of Proposed Rulemaking (“NPRs”) dated June 7, 2012.
(j)
Consistent with historic practice, the risk-based capital ratios do not include the impact of the total consolidated assets of certain consolidated investment management funds. If the Company is required to include the net impact of such total consolidated assets, it would decrease the fully phased-in CET1 ratio under the Standardized Approach by approximately 60 basis points and the Advanced Approach by approximately 90 basis points at March 31, 2014.
(k)
At
March 31, 2014
, the capital ratios are based on Basel III components of capital, as phased-in, and asset risk-weightings using the general risk-based guidelines included in the Final Capital Rules (which for 2014 look to Basel I-based requirements). March 31, 2014 risk-weightings are not based on the Advanced Approach rules. The leverage capital ratio is based on Basel III components of capital and quarterly average total assets, as phased-in. Periods prior to March 31, 2014 are based on Basel I rules, while the CET1 ratio is a Basel I Tier 1 common ratio.

General
In this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q,
references to “our,” “we,” “us,” “BNY Mellon,” the “Company” and similar terms refer to The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries.
The term “Parent” refers to The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation but not its subsidiaries.
Certain business terms used in this report are defined in the Glossary included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
Dec. 31, 2013
(“
2013
Annual Report”).
The following should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report. Investors should also read the section titled “Forward-looking Statements.”
How we reported results
Throughout this Form 10-Q, certain measures, which are noted as “Non-GAAP financial measures,” exclude certain items. BNY Mellon believes that these measures are useful to investors because they permit a focus on period-to-period comparisons using measures that relate to our ability to enhance revenues and limit expenses in circumstances where such matters are within our control. We also present the net interest margin on a fully taxable equivalent (“FTE”) basis. We believe that this presentation allows for comparison of amounts arising from both taxable and tax-exempt sources and is consistent with industry practice. Certain immaterial reclassifications have been made to prior periods to place them on a basis comparable with the current period presentation. See “Supplemental information - Explanation of GAAP and Non-GAAP financial measures” beginning on page
49
for a reconciliation of financial measures presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) to adjusted Non-GAAP financial measures.
In the first quarter of 2014, BNY Mellon elected to early adopt the new accounting guidance included in Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-01, “Accounting for Investments in Qualified Affordable Housing Projects - a Consensus of the FASB
Emerging Issues Task Force.” As a result, we restated the prior period financial statements to reflect the impact of the retrospective application of the new accounting guidance. See Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Key first quarter 2014 and subsequent events

Agreement to sell our equity investment in Wing Hang Bank Limited (“Wing Hang”)
On March 31, 2014, BNY International Financing Corp., a subsidiary of BNY Mellon, agreed to sell our equity investment in Wing Hang, which is located in Hong Kong, to Oversea-Chinese Banking Corporation Limited. Our equity investment in Wing Hang had a fair value of $1 billion (book value of $544 million) based on its share price at

. Equity income related to our investment in Wing Hang totaled $95 million in 2013, including
4
BNY Mellon
$37 million from the sale of a property. The sale is expected to close in the third quarter of 2014.
Capital plan and share repurchase program and dividend increase
In March 2014, BNY Mellon received confirmation that the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Federal Reserve”) did not object to our 2014 capital plan submitted in connection with the Federal Reserve’s Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review (“CCAR”). The board of directors subsequently approved the repurchase of up to $1.74 billion worth of common stock beginning in the second quarter of 2014 and continuing through the first quarter of 2015. The board of directors also approved a 13% increase in BNY Mellon’s quarterly common stock dividend from $0.15 per common share to $0.17 per common share on April 7, 2014. This increased quarterly common stock dividend was paid on May 7, 2014, to shareholders of record as of the close of business on April 25, 2014.
From April 1, 2014 through
May 8, 2014
, we repurchased
9.0 million
common shares, at an average price of
$34.02
per common share for a total of
$308 million
.
Exit from parallel run period for calculating risk-weighted assets under the Advanced Approaches rule
On Feb. 21, 2014, the Federal Reserve announced that BNY Mellon had been approved to exit parallel run reporting for U.S. regulatory capital purposes, and will transition from the general risk-based capital rules to the Final Capital Rules’ Advanced Approaches, effective starting in the second quarter of 2014, subject to ongoing qualification. We will be required to comply with Advanced Approaches reporting and public disclosures commencing on June 30, 2014. This means, among other things, for purposes of determining whether we meet minimum risk-based capital requirements, starting with the second quarter of 2014 our common equity Tier 1 capital ratio, Tier 1 capital ratio, and total capital ratio will be determined using the higher of the risk-weighted assets as calculated under the general risk-based capital rules (which use Basel I-based risk weighting for 2014 and the Final Capital Rules’ new Standardized Approach commencing on Jan. 1, 2015) and under the Advanced Approaches.

Fee and other revenue
Fee and other revenue totaled
$2.9 billion
in the
first quarter of 2014
, an increase of
1%
year-over-year and
2%
(unannualized) sequentially. The year-over-year increase primarily reflects higher asset servicing revenue, clearing services revenue and investment management and performance fees, partially offset by lower net securities gains and foreign exchange and other trading revenue. The sequential increase primarily reflects the loss related to an equity investment recorded in the fourth quarter of 2013 and higher asset servicing revenue, partially offset by seasonally lower performance fees, lower net securities gains and foreign exchange and other trading revenue. Additionally, both increases were partially offset by the impact of the continued net run-off of high margin structured debt securitizations in Corporate Trust.
Investment services fees
Investment services fees were impacted by the following compared with the
first quarter of 2013
and the
fourth quarter of 2013
:
•
Asset servicing fees increased
4%
year-over-year and
3%
(unannualized) sequentially. The year-over-year increase primarily reflects higher market values, net new business and organic growth. The sequential increase primarily reflects organic growth, higher securities lending revenue and net new business.
•
Clearing services fees increased
7%
year-over-year and were unchanged sequentially. The year-over-year increase was driven by higher mutual fund fees, higher asset-based fees and an increase in daily average revenue trades (“DARTS”), partially offset by higher money market fee waivers. Sequentially, higher clearance revenue was primarily offset by fewer trading days in the first quarter of 2014.
•
Issuer services fees decreased
3%
both year-over-year and (unannualized) sequentially. Both decreases reflect the impact of the continued net run-off of high margin structured debt securitizations in Corporate Trust. The year-over-year decrease was partially offset by higher Depositary Receipts revenue driven by corporate actions. We continue to estimate that the net run-off of high margin structured debt securitizations
BNY Mellon
7
could reduce the Company’s total annual revenue by up to one-half of 1% if the structured debt markets do not recover.
•
Treasury services fees decreased
4%
year-over-year and
1%
(unannualized) sequentially. Both decreases reflect lower cash management fees.
See the “Investment Services business” in “Review of businesses” for additional details.
Investment management and performance fees
Investment management and performance fees totaled $
843 million
in the
first quarter of 2014
, an increase of
3%
year-over-year and a decrease of
7%
(unannualized) sequentially. Excluding money-market fee waivers, investment management and performance fees increased 5% year-over-year and decreased 6% (unannualized) sequentially (Non-GAAP). The year-over-year increase primarily reflects higher equity market values and net new business. The sequential decrease primarily reflects seasonally lower performance fees and fewer days in the first quarter of 2014. Performance fees were $20 million in the
first quarter of 2014
compared with $15 million in the
first quarter of 2013
and $72 million in the
fourth quarter of 2013
.
Total AUM for the Investment Management business was a record
$1.6 trillion
at
March 31, 2014
, an increase of
14%
year-over-year and
2%
(unannualized) sequentially. Both increases resulted from higher market values and net new business. Net long-term inflows totaled $21 billion in the
first quarter of 2014
driven by continued strong flows of liability-driven investments and growth in alternative investments, partially offset by slight outflows in equities. Short-term outflows were $7 billion in the
first quarter of 2014
.

in the

,
$161 million
in the
first quarter of 2013
and
$146 million
in the

. In the
first quarter of 2014
, foreign exchange revenue totaled
$130 million
, a decrease of 13% year-over-year and an increase of 3% (unannualized) sequentially. Comparisons with both prior periods were impacted by lower volatility, and higher volumes driven by enhancements to our electronic foreign exchange platform. Other trading revenue totaled $
6 million
in the
first quarter of 2014
compared with
$12 million
in the
first quarter of 2013
and
$20 million
in the
fourth quarter of 2013
. The decrease from both prior periods reflects lower fixed income trading revenue. Foreign exchange revenue and fixed income trading revenue is reported in the Investment Services business and the Other segment. Other trading revenue is primarily reported in the Other segment.
The foreign exchange trading engaged in by the Company generates revenues, which are influenced by the volume of client transactions and the spread realized on these transactions. Revenues are impacted by market pressures which continue to be increasingly competitive. The level of volume and spreads is affected by market volatility, the level of cross-border assets held in custody for clients, the level and nature of underlying cross-border investments and other transactions undertaken by corporate and institutional clients. These revenues also depend on our ability to manage the risk associated with the currency transactions we execute. A substantial majority of our foreign exchange trades are undertaken for our custody clients in transactions where BNY Mellon acts as principal, and not as an agent or broker. As a principal, we earn a profit, if any, based on our ability to risk manage the aggregate foreign currency positions that we buy and sell on a daily basis. Generally speaking, custody clients enter
8
BNY Mellon
into foreign exchange transactions in one of three ways:
negotiated trading
with BNY Mellon, BNY Mellon’s
standing instruction program
, or transactions with
third-party foreign exchange providers
.
Negotiated trading
generally refers to orders entered by the client or the client’s investment manager, with all decisions related to the transaction, usually on a transaction-specific basis, made by the client or its investment manager. Such transactions may be initiated by (i) contacting one of our sales desks to negotiate the rate for specific transactions, (ii) using electronic trading platforms, or (iii) electing other methods such as those pursuant to a benchmarking arrangement, in which pricing is determined by an objective market rate adjusted by a pre-negotiated spread. Our custody clients choose to use
third-party foreign exchange providers
other than BNY Mellon for a substantial majority of their U.S. dollar-equivalent volume foreign exchange transactions. The preponderance of the notional value of our trading volume with clients is in negotiated trading. Our
standing instruction program
, including a standing instruction program option called the Defined Spread Offering, which the Company introduced to clients in the first quarter of 2012, provides custody clients and their investment managers with an end-to-end solution that allows them to shift to BNY Mellon the cost, management and execution risk, often in small transactions or transactions in restricted and difficult to trade currencies. We incur substantial costs in supporting the global operational infrastructure required to administer the standing instruction program; on a per-transaction basis, the costs associated with the standing instruction program exceed the costs associated with negotiated trading. In response to competitive market pressures and client requests, we are continuing to develop standing instruction program products and services and making these new products and services available to our clients. In our historical standing instruction program, known as Session Range, we typically assigned a price derived from the daily pricing range for marketable-size foreign exchange transactions (generally more than $1 million) executed between global financial institutions, known as the “interbank range.” Using the interbank range for the given day, we typically priced client purchases of currencies at or near the high end of this range and client sales of currencies at or near the low end of this range. In the first quarter of 2014, we upgraded our Session Range program. The upgrades include pricing pursuant to pre-defined rules and enhanced post-trade reporting, with
transactions priced once per day within the interbank range of the day, and subject to application of a price collar, which is specific to session, pricing location and currency pair. A description of the pricing rules used in the upgraded Session Range program is set forth in the program’s disclosure documentation, which is available to clients and their investment managers. Separately, the standing instruction program Defined Spread Offering sets prices for transactions in each pricing cycle (several times a day in the case of developed market currencies) by adding a predetermined spread either to an objective market source for developed and certain emerging market currencies, or to a reference rate computed by BNY Mellon for other emerging market currencies. A description of the pricing rules is set forth in the Defined Spread Offering’s disclosure documentation, which is available to clients and their investment managers.
A shift by custody clients from the standing instruction program to other trading options combined with competitive market pressures on the foreign exchange business may negatively impact our foreign exchange revenue. We continue to invest in our foreign exchange trading and execution capabilities, which is leading towards enhanced customer service and higher volumes. For the quarter ended
March 31, 2014
, our total revenue for all types of foreign exchange trading transactions was
$130 million
, or approximately
4%
of our total revenue and approximately 40% of our foreign exchange revenue resulted from foreign exchange transactions undertaken through our standing instruction program.
Distribution and servicing fees
Distribution and servicing fee revenue was
$43 million
in the
first quarter of 2014
,
$49 million
in the
first quarter of 2013
and
$43 million
in the
fourth quarter of 2013
. The year-over-year decrease primarily reflects higher money market fee waivers and short-term outflows of AUM.
Financing-related fees
Financing-related fees, which are primarily reported in the Other segment, include capital markets fees, loan commitment fees and credit-related fees. Financing-related fees totaled
$38 million
in the
first quarter of 2014
,
$41 million
in the
first quarter of 2013
and
$43 million
in the
fourth quarter of 2013
. The year-over-year decrease primarily reflects lower

credit-related fees. The sequential decrease was primarily driven by lower capital markets revenue.

Investment and other income, which is primarily reported in the Other segment and Investment Management business, includes revenue from lease residual gains, insurance contracts, expense reimbursements from our CIBC Mellon joint venture, seed capital gains, gains and losses on private equity investments, transitional services agreements, asset-related gains, equity investments, and other income and loss. Expense reimbursements from our CIBC Mellon joint venture relate to expenses incurred by BNY Mellon on behalf of the CIBC Mellon joint venture. Transitional services agreements primarily relate to the Shareowner Services business, which was sold on Dec. 31, 2011. Asset-related gains (losses) include loan, real estate and other asset dispositions. Other income primarily includes foreign currency remeasurement gain (loss), other investments and various miscellaneous revenues. Investment and other income increased $14 million compared with the
first quarter of 2013
and $145 million compared to the
fourth quarter of 2013
. The year-over-year increase primarily reflects higher lease residual gains, partially offset by lower equity investment revenue. The sequential increase primarily reflects a loss related to an equity investment recorded in the fourth quarter of 2013, partially offset by lower asset-related gains.

Net interest revenue totaled
$728 million
in the first quarter of 2014, an increase of $9 million compared with the first quarter of 2013 and a decrease of $33 million sequentially. The year-over-year increase primarily resulted from a change in the mix of assets and higher average deposits, partially offset by lower yields on investment securities. The decrease compared with the fourth quarter of 2013 primarily reflects lower yields on investment securities and fewer days in the first quarter of 2014, partially offset by the change in the mix of assets as we reduced our interest-bearing deposits held at the Federal Reserve
and other central banks and increased our investment securities portfolio.
The net interest margin (FTE) was
1.05%
in the first quarter of 2014 compared with
1.11%
in the first quarter of 2013 and
1.09%
in the fourth quarter of 2013. Both decreases in the net interest margin (FTE) primarily reflect lower yields on investment securities. The year-over-year decrease also reflects higher average interest-earning assets driven by higher deposit levels.

Prior periods were restated to reflect the retrospective application of adopting new accounting guidance related to our investments in qualified affordable housing projects (ASU 2014-01). See Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
N/M - Not meaningful.
Total noninterest expense decreased $89 million, or 3% compared with the first quarter of 2013 and decreased $138 million, or 5% (unannualized), compared with the fourth quarter of 2013.
Excluding amortization of intangible assets, M&I, litigation and restructuring charges, noninterest expense decreased 1% year-over-year and 4% (unannualized) sequentially. Both decreases reflect lower non-staff expenses. The year-over-year decrease was partially offset by higher staff expense.
We continue to invest in our compliance, risk and other control functions in light of increasing regulatory requirements. While our expenses remain high in those areas as a result of the need to hire additional staff and advisors and to enhance our technology platforms, we expect the rate of related expense growth to begin to slow as the new rules are implemented.
Staff expense
Given our mix of fee-based businesses, which are staffed with high-quality professionals, staff expense
comprised
56%
of total noninterest expense in the first quarter of
2014
and 54% in both the first quarter of 2013 and the fourth quarter of
2013
, excluding amortization of intangible assets, M&I, litigation and restructuring charges.
Staff expense was
$1.5 billion
in the first quarter of
2014
, an increase of
3%
compared with the first quarter of
2013
and a decrease of 1% (unannualized) compared with the fourth quarter of 2013. Comparisons to both prior periods were impacted by lower pension expense and higher incentive expense due to acceleration of the vesting of long-term stock awards for retirement-eligible employees.
Non-staff expense
Non-staff expense, excluding amortization of intangible assets, M&I, litigation and restructuring charges, totaled
$1.2 billion
in the first quarter of
2014
, a decrease of
5%
compared with the first quarter of
2013
and 8% (unannualized) compared with the fourth quarter of 2013. The year-over-year decrease primarily resulted from a provision for
12
BNY Mellon
administrative errors in certain offshore tax-exempt funds and the cost of generating certain tax credits both of which were recorded in the first quarter of 2013, partially offset by an increase in professional, legal and other purchased services expense. The sequential decline reflects a seasonal decrease in business development expense, as well as lower professional, legal and other purchased services and risk-related expenses.
The financial services industry has seen a continuing increase in the level of litigation and enforcement activity. As a result, we anticipate our legal and litigation costs to continue at elevated levels. For additional information on our legal proceedings, see Note 18 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
For additional information on restructuring charges, see Note 10 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Income taxes
The provision for income taxes was
$232 million
and the effective tax rate was 25.1% in the
first quarter of 2014
. The effective tax rate was positively impacted by the change in New York State tax rates enacted on March 31, 2014. The provision for income taxes was $1.1 billion in the first quarter of 2013, including an $854 million charge related to the disallowance of certain foreign tax credits. Excluding the charge related to the disallowance of certain foreign tax credits, the effective tax rate on an operating basis - Non-GAAP was
25.2%
in the first quarter of 2013. The provision for income taxes was $172 million and the effective tax rate was 23.6% in the
fourth quarter of 2013
. See “Supplemental information - Explanation of GAAP and Non-GAAP financial measures” beginning on page
49
for additional information.
In the first quarter of 2014, BNY Mellon adopted ASU 2014-01, “Accounting for Investments in Qualified Affordable Housing Projects - a Consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force”. See Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for the impact of the retrospective application of this new accounting guidance.
We expect the effective tax rate to be approximately 27% in the second quarter of 2014.
Review of businesses
We have an internal information system that produces performance data along product and service lines for our two principal businesses 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 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, the primary types of revenue by business and how our businesses are presented and analyzed, see Note 19 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Business results are subject to reclassification whenever organizational changes are made or when improvements are made in the measurement principles. On Sept. 27, 2013, Newton Management Limited, together with Newton Investment Management Limited, an investment boutique of BNY Mellon, sold Newton’s private client business. In the first quarter of 2014, we reclassified the results of Newton’s private client business from the Investment Management business to the Other segment. The reclassifications did not impact the consolidated results. All prior periods have been restated. In addition, prior period consolidated results and the Other segment results have been restated to reflect the impact of the retrospective application of adopting new accounting guidance related to our investments in qualified affordable housing projects (ASU 2014-01). See Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
The results of our businesses may be influenced by client activities that vary by quarter. In the second quarter, we typically experience an increase in securities lending fees due to an increase in demand to borrow securities outside of the United States. In the third quarter, Depositary Receipts revenue is typically higher due to an increased level of client dividend payments paid in the quarter. Also in the third quarter, volume-related fees may decline due to
BNY Mellon
13
reduced client activity. In the fourth quarter, we typically incur higher business development and marketing expenses. In our Investment Management business, performance fees are typically higher in the
fourth quarter, as the fourth quarter represents the end of the measurement period for many of the performance fee-eligible relationships.

Fee revenue in Investment Management, and to a lesser extent in Investment Services, is impacted by the value of market indices. At
March 31, 2014
, using the Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”) 500 Index as a proxy for the global equity markets, we estimate that a 100-point change in the value of the S&P 500 Index
spread evenly throughout the year, would impact fee revenue by less than 1% and diluted earnings per common share by $0.02 to $0.04. If however, global equity markets do not perform in line with the S&P 500 Index, the impact to fee revenue and earnings per share could be different.
The following consolidating schedules show the contribution of our businesses to our overall profitability.

Business description
Our Investment Management business is comprised of our affiliated investment management boutiques, wealth management business and global distribution companies. See page 22 of our 2013 Annual Report for additional information on our Investment Management business.
Review of financial results
Investment management and performance fees are dependent on the overall level and mix of AUM and the management fees expressed in basis points (one-hundredth of one percent) charged for managing those assets. Assets under management were a record
$1.62 trillion
at
March 31, 2014
compared with
$1.42 trillion
at
March 31, 2013
and
$1.58 trillion
at
Dec. 31, 2013
. Both increases resulted from higher market values and net new business. Net long-term inflows totaled
$21 billion
in the
first quarter of 2014
driven by the continued strong flows of liability-driven investments and growth in alternative investments,
partially offset by slight outflows in equities. Short-term outflows were
$7 billion
in the
first quarter of 2014
.
Total revenue was
$970 million
, an increase of
3%
compared with the
first quarter of 2013
and a decrease of
9%
(unannualized) compared with the
fourth quarter of 2013
. Excluding money market fee waivers, total revenue increased 4% year-over-year and decreased 8% (unannualized) sequentially. The year-over-year increase primarily reflects higher equity market values and net new business. The sequential decrease primarily reflects seasonally lower performance fees, lower seed capital gains and fewer days in the
first quarter of 2014
. Comparisons with both prior periods also reflect higher net interest revenue. Revenue generated in the Investment Management business included
45%
from non-U.S. sources in the
first quarter of 2014
compared with
44%
in the
first quarter of 2013
and
47%
in the fourth quarter of 2013.

Investment management fees in the Investment Management business were
$824 million
in the
first quarter of 2014
compared with
$802 million
in the
first quarter of 2013
and
$837 million
in the
fourth quarter of 2013
. The year-over-year increase primarily reflects higher equity market values and net new business, partially offset by higher money market fee waivers. The sequential decrease was primarily driven by fewer days in the first quarter of 2014.
In the
first quarter of 2014
,
36%
of investment management fees in the Investment Management business were generated from managed mutual fund fees. These fees are based on the daily average net assets of each fund and the management fee paid by that fund. Managed mutual fund fee revenue was
$299 million
in the
first quarter of 2014
compared with
$299 million
in the
first quarter of 2013
and
$303 million
in the
fourth quarter of 2013
. The sequential decrease primarily reflects fewer days in the first quarter of 2014.
Performance fees were
$20 million
in the
first quarter of 2014
compared with
$15 million
in the
first quarter of 2013
and
$72 million
in the
fourth quarter of 2013
. The sequential decrease primarily reflects seasonality.
Distribution and servicing fees were
$40 million
in the
first quarter of 2014
compared with
$46 million
in the
first quarter of 2013
and
$41 million
in the
fourth quarter of 2013
. Both decreases reflect outflows. The year-over-year decrease was also impacted by higher money market fee waivers.
Other fee revenue was
$16 million
in the
first quarter of 2014
compared with
$18 million
in the
first quarter of 2013
and
$43 million
in the
fourth quarter of 2013
. The sequential decrease primarily reflects lower seed capital gains, other trading revenue and net securities gains.
Net interest revenue was
$70 million
in the
first quarter of 2014
compared with
$62 million
in the
first quarter of 2013
and
$68 million
in the
fourth quarter of 2013
. Both increases primarily resulted from higher average loans and deposits. Average loans increased
12%
year-over-year and
3%
sequentially, while average deposits increased
8%
year-over-year and
5%
sequentially.
Noninterest expense excluding amortization of intangible assets was
$693 million
in the
first quarter of 2014
compared with
$698 million
in the
first quarter of 2013
and
$760 million
in the
fourth quarter of 2013
. The year-over-year decrease primarily reflects a provision for administrative errors in certain offshore tax-exempt funds recorded in the first quarter of 2013, partially offset by higher incentive expense driven by improved performance, and higher expenses resulting from investments in strategic initiatives. The sequential decrease primarily reflects lower incentive expense due to seasonally lower performance fees, seasonally lower business development expense, and lower salaries and professional, legal, and other purchased services expenses.

Business description
Our Investment Services business provides global custody and related services, broker-dealer services, global collateral services, corporate trust and depositary receipt and clearing services, as well as global payment/working capital solutions to global financial institutional clients.
Our comprehensive suite of financial solutions includes: global custody, global fund services, securities lending, investment manager outsourcing, performance and risk analytics, alternative investment services, securities clearance, collateral management, corporate trust, American and global depositary receipt programs, cash management solutions, payment services, liquidity services and other linked revenues, principally foreign exchange, global clearing and execution, managed account services and global prime brokerage solutions. Our clients include corporations, public funds and government agencies, foundations and endowments; global financial institutions including banks, broker-dealers, asset managers, insurance companies and central banks; financial intermediaries and independent registered investment advisors; and hedge fund managers. We help our clients service their financial assets through a network of offices and operations centers in 35 countries across six continents.
The results of this business are driven by a number of factors, which include: the level of transaction activity; the range of services provided, including custody, accounting, fund administration, daily valuations, performance measurement and risk analytics, securities lending, and investment manager back-office outsourcing; the number of accounts; and the market value of assets under custody and/or administration. Market interest rates impact both securities lending revenue and the earnings on client deposit balances. Business expenses are driven by staff, technology investment, equipment and space required to support the services provided by the business and the cost of execution, clearance and custody of securities.
We are one of the leading global securities servicing providers with
$27.9 trillion
of AUC/A at
March 31, 2014
. We are the largest custodian for U.S. corporate and public pension plans and we service 44% of the top 50 endowments. We are a leading custodian in the UK and service 20% of UK pensions that require
a custodian. Globalization tends to drive cross-border investment and capital flows, which increases the opportunity to provide solutions to our clients. The changing regulatory environment is also driving demand for new products and services among clients.
BNY Mellon is a leader in both global securities and U.S. Government securities clearance.
We settle securities transactions in over 100 markets
and handle most of the transactions cleared through the Federal Reserve Bank of New York for 18 of the 22 primary dealers.
We are a leader in servicing tri-party repo collateral with approximately $2 trillion globally. We currently service approximately $1.3 trillion of the $1.6 trillion tri-party repo market in the U.S.
BNY Mellon offers tri-party collateral agency services to dealers and cash investors active in the tri-party repurchase, or repo, market. We currently have approximately 86% of the market share of the U.S. tri-party repo market. As agent, we facilitate settlement between dealers (cash borrowers) and investors (cash lenders). Our involvement in a transaction commences after a dealer and investor agree to a tri-party repo trade and send instructions to us. We maintain custody of the collateral (the subject securities of the repo), monitor the eligibility and sufficiency of the collateral, and execute the payment and delivery instructions agreed to and provided by the principals.
BNY Mellon continues to work to significantly reduce the risk associated with the secured intraday credit it provides to dealers with respect to their tri-party repo trades. BNY Mellon has implemented several important measures in that regard, including reducing the amount of time during which we extend intraday credit, implementing three-way trade confirmations, reducing the amount of credit provided in connection with processing collateral substitutions, introducing a functionality that enables us to “roll” maturing trades into new trades without extending credit, and requiring dealers to prefund their repayment obligations in connection with trades collateralized by Depository Trust Company sourced securities. Additionally, in 2013, we limited the collateral eligible to secure intraday credit to certain more liquid asset classes, resulting in a reduction of exposures secured by less liquid forms of collateral. We anticipate that the combination of these measures will have reduced risks substantially in our tri-party repo activity in the near term and, together with
20
BNY Mellon
technology enhancements currently in development, will achieve the practical elimination (defined as a 90% reduction) of intraday credit related to tri-party repo processing by the end of 2014.
These efforts are consistent with the recommendations of the Tri-Party Repo Infrastructure Reform Task Force (the “Task Force”) that was sponsored by the Payment Risk Committee of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and included representatives from a diverse group of market participants, including BNY Mellon.
Since May 2010, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York has released monthly reports on the tri-party repo market, including information on aggregate volumes of collateral used in all tri-party repo transactions by asset class, concentrations, and margin levels, which are available at http://www.newyorkfed.org/banking/tpr_infr_reform.html.
Global Collateral Services serves broker-dealers and institutional investors facing expanding collateral management needs as a result of current and emerging regulatory and market requirements. Global Collateral Services brings together BNY Mellon’s global capabilities in segregating, optimizing, financing and transforming collateral on behalf of clients, including its market leading broker-dealer collateral management, securities lending, collateral financing, liquidity and derivatives services teams.
In securities lending, we are one of the largest lenders of U.S. Treasury securities and depositary receipts and service a lending pool of approximately $3 trillion in 31 markets.
We serve as depositary for
1,332
sponsored American and global depositary receipt programs at
March 31, 2014
, acting in partnership with leading companies from 66 countries - an estimated 60% global market share.
Pershing and its affiliates provide business solutions to approximately 1,600 financial organizations globally by delivering dependable operational support; robust trading services; flexible technology; and an expansive array of investment solutions, practice management support and service excellence.
Role of BNY Mellon, as a trustee, for mortgage-backed securitizations
BNY Mellon acts as trustee and document custodian for certain mortgage-backed security (“MBS”) securitization trusts. The role of trustee for MBS securitizations is limited; our primary role as trustee is to calculate and distribute monthly bond payments to bondholders. As a document custodian, we hold the mortgage, note, and related documents provided to us by the loan originator or seller and provide periodic reporting to these parties. BNY Mellon, either as document custodian or trustee, does not receive mortgage underwriting files (the files that contain information related to the creditworthiness of the borrower). As trustee or custodian, we have no responsibility or liability for the quality of the portfolio; we are liable only for performance of our limited duties as described above and in the trust documents. BNY Mellon is indemnified by the servicers or directly from trust assets under the governing agreements. BNY Mellon may appear as the named plaintiff in legal actions brought by servicers in foreclosure and other related proceedings because the trustee is the nominee owner of the mortgage loans within the trusts.
Review of financial results
AUC/A at
March 31, 2014
were
$27.9 trillion
, an increase of
6%
from
$26.3 trillion
at
March 31, 2013
, and 1% from $27.6 trillion at Dec. 31, 2013. Both increases were primarily driven by higher market values. The sequential increase also reflects net new business. AUC/A were comprised of 36% equity securities and 64% fixed income securities at
March 31, 2014
compared with 33% equity securities and 67% fixed income securities at
March 31, 2013
.
Revenue generated in the Investment Services business included 35% from non-U.S. sources in the
first quarter of 2014
compared with 32% in the
first quarter of 2013
.
Investment services fees increased $52 million, or
3%
, in the
first quarter of 2014
compared with the
first quarter of 2013
and $18 million or
1%
(unannualized), compared with the
fourth quarter of 2013
reflecting the following factors:
•
Asset servicing fees (global custody, broker-dealer services and global collateral services) were
$985 million
in the
first quarter of 2014
BNY Mellon
21
compared with
$943 million
in the
first quarter of 2013
and
$957 million
in the
fourth quarter of 2013
. The year-over-year increase primarily reflects higher market values, net new business, organic growth and higher collateral management fees in Global Collateral Services. The sequential increase primarily reflects organic growth, higher securities lending revenue and net new business.
•
Clearing services fees were
$323 million
in the
first quarter of 2014
compared with
$302 million
in the
first quarter of 2013
and
$322 million
in the
fourth quarter of 2013
. The year-over-year increase was driven by higher mutual fund fees, higher asset-based fees and an increase in DARTS, partially offset by higher money market fee waivers. Sequentially, higher clearance revenue was primarily offset by fewer trading days in the
first quarter of 2014
.
•
Issuer services fees (Corporate Trust and Depositary Receipts) were
$228 million
in the
first quarter of 2014
, compared with
$236 million
in both the
first quarter of 2013
and the
fourth quarter of 2013
. Both decreases reflect the impact of the continued net run-off of high margin structured debt securitizations in Corporate Trust. The year-over-year decrease was partially offset by higher Depositary Receipts revenue driven by corporate actions.
•
Treasury services fees were
$134 million
in the
first quarter of 2014
compared with
$137 million
in both the
first quarter of 2013
and the
fourth quarter of 2013
. Both decreases primarily reflect lower cash management fees.
Foreign exchange and other trading revenue totaled
$158 million
in the
first quarter of 2014
, compared with
$173 million
in the
first quarter of 2013
and
$150 million
in the
fourth quarter of 2013
. Comparisons with both prior periods were impacted by lower volatility, and higher volumes driven by enhancements to our electronic foreign exchange platform.
Net interest revenue was
$590 million
in the
first quarter of 2014
compared with
$653 million
in the
first quarter of 2013
and
$610 million
in the
fourth quarter of 2013
. The year-over-year decrease primarily reflects lower spreads partially offset by higher average loans and deposits. The sequential decrease primarily reflects lower spreads and fewer days in the
first quarter of 2014
.
Noninterest expense, excluding amortization of intangible assets, was
$1.78 billion
in the
first quarter of 2014
, compared with
$1.79 billion
in the
first quarter of 2013
and
$1.82 billion
in the
fourth quarter of 2013
. The year-over-year decrease primarily reflects lower litigation expense, partially offset by higher professional, legal and other purchased services, software and furniture and equipment expenses. The sequential decrease was primarily driven by lower risk-related and professional, legal and other purchased services expenses and a seasonal decrease in business development expense.

Review of financial results
Total fee and other revenue decreased $40 million compared with the
first quarter of 2013
and increased $132 million compared with the
fourth quarter of 2013
. The year-over-year decrease primarily resulted from lower securities gains, fixed income trading revenue and equity investment revenue as well as the sale of Newton’s private client business. The sequential increase primarily reflects a loss related to an equity investment recorded in the
fourth quarter of 2013
. Comparisons with both prior periods were impacted by higher lease residual gains recorded in the
first quarter of 2014
.
Net interest revenue increased $64 million compared with the
first quarter of 2013
and decreased $15 million compared with the
fourth quarter of 2013
. Comparisons with both prior periods reflect changes in the internal credit rates to the businesses for deposits.
The provision for credit losses was a credit of
$18 million
in the
first quarter of 2014
driven by the continued improvement in the credit quality of the loan portfolio.
Noninterest expense decreased $57 million compared with the
first quarter of 2013
and $21 million compared with the
fourth quarter of 2013
. Comparisons with both prior periods reflect lower pension expense. The year-over-year decrease also reflects the cost of generating certain tax credits recorded in the
first quarter of 2013
, lower net occupancy expense and the sale of Newton’s private
client business. The sequential decrease also reflects seasonally lower business development expenses, lower professional, legal and other purchased services and lower net occupancy expense, partially offset by higher staff expense resulting from the acceleration of the vesting of long-term stock awards for retirement-eligible employees.

Consolidated balance sheet review
At
March 31, 2014
, total assets were
$368 billion
compared with
$375 billion
at
Dec. 31, 2013
. Total assets averaged $355 billion in the
first quarter of 2014
compared with $334 billion in the
first quarter of 2013
and $356 billion in the
fourth quarter of 2013
. Fluctuations in the period-end and average total assets were primarily driven by the level of client deposits. Deposits totaled
$252 billion
at
March 31, 2014
, and
$261 billion
at
Dec. 31, 2013
. Total deposits averaged $234 billion in the
first quarter of 2014
, $218 billion in the first quarter of 2013 and $237 billion in the fourth quarter of 2013. At
March 31, 2014
, total interest-bearing deposits were 55% of total interest-earning assets compared with 54% at
Dec. 31, 2013
.
At
March 31, 2014
, we had
$55 billion
of liquid funds and $
89 billion
of cash (including
$83 billion
of overnight deposits with the Federal Reserve and other central banks) for a total of
$144 billion
of available funds. This compares with available funds of
$155 billion
at
Dec. 31, 2013
. The decrease in available funds resulted from a decrease in the level of client deposits. Total available funds as a percentage of total assets was
39%
at
March 31, 2014
compared with
41%
at
Dec. 31, 2013
. Of the
$55 billion
in liquid funds held at
March 31, 2014
,
$43 billion
was placed in interest-bearing deposits with large, highly-rated global financial institutions with a weighted-average life to maturity of approximately 65 days. Of the
$43 billion
, $9 billion was placed with banks in the Eurozone.
Investment securities were
$99 billion
, or
27%
of total assets, at
March 31, 2014
, compared with
$99 billion
, or
26%
of total assets, at
Dec. 31, 2013
. The percentage increase primarily reflects our smaller balance sheet in the first quarter of 2014 driven by a decrease in the level of client deposits.
Loans were
$54 billion
, or
15%
of total assets, at
March 31, 2014
, compared with
$52 billion
, or
14%
of total assets, at
Dec. 31, 2013
. The increase in loan levels primarily reflects higher overdrafts, and margin loans driven by our term loan program.
Long-term debt totaled
$20.6 billion
at
March 31, 2014
and $
19.9 billion
at
Dec. 31, 2013
. The increase resulted from the issuance of $1.45 billion of senior debt in the first quarter of 2014, partially offset by $704 million of maturities.
Total The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation’s shareholders’ equity was
$38.0 billion
at
March 31, 2014
and
$37.5 billion
at
Dec. 31, 2013
. The increase primarily reflects earnings retention and higher additional paid-in capital resulting from employee stock options and awards and employee benefit plan contributions, partially offset by share repurchases.
Exposure in Ireland, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Greece, Russia and Ukraine
We have provided expanded disclosure on countries that have experienced particular market focus on credit quality and are countries experiencing economic concerns. Where appropriate, we are offsetting the risk associated with the gross exposure in these countries with collateral that has been pledged, which primarily consists of cash or marketable securities, or by transferring the risk to a third-party guarantor in another country.
BNY Mellon has a limited economic interest in the performance of assets of consolidated investment management funds, and therefore they are excluded from this disclosure. The liabilities of consolidated investment management funds represent the interest of the noteholders of the funds and are solely dependent on the value of the assets of the funds. Any loss in the value of assets of consolidated investment management funds would be incurred by the fund’s noteholders.
Recent events in Russia and Ukraine significantly increased geopolitical tensions in Central and Eastern Europe. At March 31, 2014, BNY Mellon had exposure of approximately $550 million in Russia. The exposure primarily consisted of approximately $210 million of syndicated loans and approximately $260 million of trade financing loans, with both exposures predominately to investment grade counterparties. Our exposure also included approximately $80 million of noninterest-bearing nostro balances. In addition, we had approximately $70 million of exposure to subsidiaries of Russian companies domiciled outside of Russia. At March 31, 2014, our exposure in Ukraine was not material.
In addition to the exposures above we provide investments services, including acting as a depositary receipt bank, for companies in Russia. To date, our Russian-related businesses have not been materially impacted by the ongoing tensions or sanctions.

BNY Mellon
Future developments including additional sanctions against Russian entities could adversely impact these businesses and our results of operations.
At
March 31, 2014
and
Dec. 31, 2013
, BNY Mellon had exposure of less than $1 million in both Portugal and Greece. The following tables present our on- and off-balance sheet exposure in Ireland, Italy and Spain at
March 31, 2014
and
Dec. 31, 2013
.
Our exposure in Ireland is principally related to Irish-domiciled investment funds. Servicing provided to these funds and fund families may result in overdraft exposure. See “Risk management” for additional information on how our exposures are managed. Exposure in the tables below reflects the country of operations and risk of the immediate counterparty.

Investment securities
In the discussion of our investment securities portfolio, we have included certain credit ratings information because the information indicates the degree of credit risk to which we are exposed, and significant changes in ratings classifications for our
investment securities portfolio could indicate increased credit risk for us and could be accompanied by a reduction in the fair value of our investment securities portfolio.

The fair value of our investment securities portfolio was
$99.7 billion
at
March 31, 2014
compared with
$99.4 billion
at
Dec. 31, 2013
. The increase in the fair value of the investment securities portfolio primarily reflects an increase in the unrealized gain on our investment securities. In the
first quarter of 2014
, we received $122 million of paydowns and sold $21 million of sub-investment grade securities.
At
March 31, 2014
, the total investment securities portfolio had a net unrealized pre-tax gain of
$676 million
compared with $309 million at
Dec. 31, 2013
. The increase in the net unrealized pre-tax gain was primarily driven by a reduction in market interest rates. The unrealized net of tax gain on our investment securities available-for-sale portfolio
included in accumulated other comprehensive income was
$487 million
at
March 31, 2014
, compared with
$357 million

On a quarterly basis, we perform our impairment analysis using several factors, including projected loss severities and default rates. In the
first quarter of 2014
, this analysis resulted in $5 million of credit losses primarily on our prime RMBS portfolio. At
March 31, 2014
, if we were to increase or decrease each of our projected loss severities and default rates by 100 basis points on each of the positions in our non-agency RMBS portfolios, including the securities previously held by the Grantor Trust, credit-related impairment charges on these securities would have increased or decreased by less than $1 million (pre-
tax). See Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for the projected weighted-average default rates and loss severities.
The following table shows the fair value of the European floating rate notes by geographical location at
March 31, 2014
. The unrealized loss on these securities was
$19 million
at
March 31, 2014
, an improvement of $25 million compared with $44 million at

The financial institutions portfolio exposure was
$31.2 billion
at
March 31, 2014
compared with
$31.4 billion
at
Dec. 31, 2013
. The decrease primarily reflects lower exposure to banks driven by a reduced level of trade finance loans, partially offset by increased exposure to the securities industry reflecting an increase in unfunded commitments and the reestablishment of a loan to Sentinel Management Group, Inc. (“Sentinel”) as a fully collateralized performing loan in the first quarter of 2014. See Note 5 and Note 18 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on the Sentinel matter.
Financial institution exposures are high quality, with
94%
of the exposures meeting the investment grade equivalent criteria of our internal credit rating classification at
March 31, 2014
. Each customer is assigned an internal credit rating, which is mapped to an equivalent external rating agency grade based upon a number of dimensions which are continually evaluated and may change over time. The exposure to financial institutions is generally short-term. Of these exposures,
71%
expire within one year, and
37%
expire within 90 days. In addition,
38%
of the financial institutions exposure is secured. For
BNY Mellon

example, securities industry and asset managers often borrow against marketable securities held in custody.
For ratings of non-U.S. counterparties, as a conservative measure, our internal credit rating is generally capped at a rating equivalent to the sovereign rating of the country where the counterparty resides regardless of the internal credit rating assigned to the counterparty or the underlying collateral.
Our bank exposure primarily relates to our global trade finance and U.S. dollar-clearing businesses. These exposures are predominately to investment grade counterparties and are short term in nature.
The asset manager portfolio exposures are high-quality, with
98%
of the exposures meeting our investment grade equivalent ratings criteria as of
March 31, 2014
. These exposures are generally short-term liquidity facilities, with the vast majority to regulated mutual funds.

Wealth management loans and mortgages
Our wealth management exposure was
$11.5 billion
at both
March 31, 2014
and
Dec. 31, 2013
. Wealth management loans and mortgages are primarily comprised of loans to high-net-worth individuals, which are secured by marketable securities and/or residential property. Wealth management mortgages are primarily interest-only adjustable rate mortgages with an average loan-to-value ratio of
64%
at origination. In the wealth management portfolio, less than
1%
of the mortgages were past due at
March 31, 2014
.
At
March 31, 2014
, the wealth management mortgage portfolio was comprised of the following geographic concentrations: New York -

; California -
21%
; Massachusetts -
16%
; Florida -

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. Our client base consists of experienced developers and long-term holders of real estate assets.
30
BNY Mellon
Loans are approved on the basis of existing or projected cash flows, and supported by appraisals and knowledge of local market conditions. Development loans are structured with moderate leverage, and in many instances, involve some level of recourse to the developer. Our commercial real estate exposure totaled $
4.4 billion
at both
March 31, 2014
and
Dec. 31, 2013
.
At
March 31, 2014
,
57%
of our commercial real estate portfolio was secured. The secured portfolio is diverse by project type, with
57%
secured by residential buildings,
21%
secured by office buildings,
11%
secured by retail properties, and
11%
secured by other categories. Approximately
97%
of the unsecured portfolio is comprised of real estate investment trusts (“REITs”), which are primarily investment grade, and real estate operating companies.
At
March 31, 2014
, our commercial real estate portfolio is comprised of the following concentrations: New York metro -
43%
; REITs and real estate operating companies -
41%
; and other -

.
Lease financings
The leasing portfolio exposure totaled $
2.2 billion
and included
$160 million
of airline exposures at
March 31, 2014
, compared with $
2.3 billion
of leasing exposures, including $
166 million
of airline exposures, at
Dec. 31, 2013
. At
March 31, 2014
, approximately
90%
of the leasing exposure was investment grade.
At
March 31, 2014
, the
$2.0 billion
non-airline lease financing portfolio consisted of exposures backed by well-diversified assets, primarily large-ticket transportation equipment.
At
March 31, 2014
, our
$160 million
of exposure to the airline industry consisted of
$62 million
to major U.S. carriers,
$74 million
to foreign airlines and
$24 million
to U.S. regional airlines.
Our airline lease customers experienced a recent recovery in the industry. However, a significant portion of these customers remain highly leveraged and vulnerable to both economic downturns and rising fuel prices. Because of these factors, we continue to maintain a sizable allowance for loan
losses against these exposures and continue to closely monitor the portfolio.
We utilize the lease financing portfolio as part of our tax management strategy.
Other residential mortgages
The other residential mortgage portfolio primarily consists of 1-4 family residential mortgage loans and totaled
$1.3 billion
at
March 31, 2014
, compared with
$1.4 billion
at
Dec. 31, 2013
. Included in this portfolio at
March 31, 2014
are
$394 million
of mortgage loans purchased in 2005, 2006 and the first quarter of 2007 that are predominantly prime mortgage loans, with a small portion of Alt-A loans. As of
March 31, 2014
, the purchased loans in this portfolio had a weighted-average loan-to-value ratio of
76%
at origination and
18%
of the serviced loan balance was at least 60 days delinquent. The properties securing the prime and Alt-A mortgage loans were located (in order of concentration) in California, Florida, Virginia, the tri-state area (New York, New Jersey and Connecticut) and Maryland.
To determine the projected loss on the prime and Alt-A mortgage portfolios, we calculate the total estimated defaults of these mortgages and multiply that amount by an estimate of realizable value upon sale in the marketplace (severity).
Overdrafts
Overdrafts primarily relate to custody and securities clearance clients. Overdrafts occur on a daily basis in the custody and securities clearance business and are generally repaid within two business days.
Other loans
Other loans primarily includes loans to consumers that are fully collateralized with equities, mutual funds and fixed income securities.
Margin loans
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. Margin loans included
$7.5 billion
of loans at
March 31, 2014
and
$6.7 billion
at
Dec. 31, 2013
related to a term loan program that offers fully collateralized loans to broker-dealers.

Asset quality and allowance for credit losses
Over the past several years, we have improved our risk profile through greater focus on clients who are active users of our non-credit services, de-emphasizing broad-based loan growth. Our primary exposure to the credit risk of a customer consists of funded loans, unfunded formal contractual commitments to lend, standby letters of credit and overdrafts associated with our custody and securities clearance businesses.
The role of credit has shifted to one that complements our other services instead of as a lead product. We believe credit solidifies customer relationships and, through a disciplined allocation of capital, can earn acceptable rates of return as part of an overall relationship.
The following table details changes in our allowance for credit losses.

There were no net charge-offs in the first quarter of 2014. Net charge-offs were
$5 million
in the first quarter of 2013 and
$1 million
in the fourth quarter of 2013. Net charge-offs in the prior periods were primarily in the other residential mortgages, commercial and foreign loans portfolios.
The provision for credit losses was a credit of
$18 million
in the first quarter of 2014 primarily driven by the improvement in the credit quality of the loan portfolio. The provision for credit losses was a credit of
$24 million
in the first quarter of 2013 and a provision of
$6 million
in the fourth quarter of 2013. We anticipate the provision for credit losses to be $0 to $15 million in the second quarter of 2014.
The total allowance for credit losses was
$326 million
at
March 31, 2014
,
$344 million
at
Dec. 31, 2013
and
$358 million
at
March 31, 2013
. The ratio of the total allowance for credit losses to non-margin loans was
0.87%
at
March 31, 2014
,
0.96%
at
Dec. 31, 2013
and
0.99%
at
March 31, 2013
. The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to non-margin loans was
0.53%
at
March 31, 2014
compared with
0.58%
at
Dec. 31, 2013
and
0.66%
at
March 31, 2013
. The decrease in the total allowance for credit losses and the lower ratios at
March 31, 2014
compared with both prior periods primarily reflects an improvement in the credit quality and continued growth in the loan portfolio.
We had
$16.4 billion
of secured margin loans on our balance sheet at
March 31, 2014
compared with
$15.7 billion
at
Dec. 31, 2013
and
$13.2 billion
at
March 31, 2013
. We have rarely suffered a loss on these types of loans and do not allocate any of our allowance for credit losses to them. As a result, we believe that the ratio of total allowance for credit losses as a percentage of non-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 probable losses inherent in our credit portfolio. This evaluation process is subject to numerous estimates and judgments.
We utilize a quantitative methodology and qualitative framework for determining the allowance for loan losses and the allowance for lending-related commitments. Within this qualitative framework, management applies judgment when assessing
32
BNY Mellon
internal risk factors and environmental factors to compute an additional allowance for each component of the loan portfolio.
The three elements of the allowance for loan losses and the allowance for lending-related commitments include the qualitative allowance framework. The three elements are:
•
an allowance for impaired credits of $1 million or greater;
•
an allowance for higher risk-rated credits and pass-rated credits; and
•
an allowance for residential mortgage loans.
Our lending is primarily to institutional customers. As a result, our loans are generally larger than $1 million. Therefore, the first element, impaired credits, is based on individual analysis of all impaired loans of $1 million or greater. The allowance is measured by the difference between the recorded value of impaired loans and their impaired value. Impaired value is either the present value of the expected future cash flows from the borrower, the market value of the loan, or the fair value of the collateral.
The second element, higher risk-rated credits and pass-rated credits, is based on our probable loss model. All loans over $1 million are individually analyzed before being assigned a credit rating. All borrowers are assigned to pools based on their credit rating. The probable loss inherent in each loan in a pool incorporates the borrower’s credit rating, loss given default rating and maturity. The loss given default incorporates a recovery expectation and 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. 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 credits are reviewed quarterly.
The third element, the allowance for residential mortgage loans, is determined by segregating six mortgage pools into delinquency periods ranging from current through foreclosure. Each of these delinquency periods is assigned a probability of default. A specific loss given default is assigned for each mortgage pool. BNY Mellon also assigns all residential mortgage pools, except home equity lines
of credit, a probability of default and loss given default based on default and loss data derived from our residential mortgage portfolio. For each pool, the inherent loss is calculated using the above factors. The resulting probable loss factor (the probability of default multiplied by the loss given default) is applied against the loan balance to determine the allowance held for each pool. 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 insufficient internal data.
The qualitative framework is used to determine an additional allowance for each portfolio based on the factors below:
Internal risk factors:
•
Nonperforming loans to total non-margin loans;
•
Criticized assets to total loans and lending-related commitments;
•
Ratings volatility;
•
Borrower concentration; and
•
Significant concentration in high risk industries.
Environmental risk factors:
•
U.S. non-investment grade default rate;
•
Unemployment rate; and
•
Change in real GDP (quarter over quarter).
The objective of the qualitative framework is to capture incurred losses that may not have been fully captured in the quantitative reserve, which is based primarily on historical data. Management determines the qualitative allowance each period based on judgment informed by consideration of internal and external risk factors and other considerations that may be deemed relevant during the period. Once determined in the aggregate, our qualitative allowance is then allocated to each of our loan classes based on the respective classes’ quantitative allowance balances with the allocations adjusted, when necessary, for class specific risk factors.
For each risk factor, we calculate the minimum and maximum values, and percentiles in-between, to
evaluate the distribution of our historical experience. The distribution of historical experience is compared to the risk factor’s current quarter observed experience to assess the current risk inherent in the portfolio and overall direction/trend of a risk factor relative to our historical experience.
BNY Mellon
33
Based on this analysis, we assign a risk level - no impact, low, moderate, high and elevated - to each risk factor for the current quarter. Management assesses the impact of each risk factor to determine an aggregate risk level. We do not quantify the impact of any particular risk factor. Management’s assessment of the risk factors, as well as the trend in the quantitative allowance, supports management’s judgment for the overall required qualitative allowance. A smaller qualitative allowance may be required when our quantitative allowance has reflected incurred losses associated with the aggregate risk level. A greater qualitative allowance may be required if our quantitative allowance does not yet reflect the incurred losses associated with the aggregate risk level. Our consideration of these factors has remained consistent for the quarter ended March 31, 2014. Additionally, the qualitative allowance as a percentage of the total allowance was unchanged from Dec. 31, 2013 to March 31, 2014.
The methodologies to determine the loss given default, probability of default and usage given default allowance parameters utilized in our probable loss model to calculate the quantitative allowance were updated in the fourth quarter of 2013.
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.
Based on an evaluation of the allowance for credit losses as discussed above, we have allocated our allowance for credit losses as follows:

Includes the allowance for 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 loss.
The credit rating assigned to each credit is a significant variable in determining the allowance. If each credit were rated one grade better, the allowance would have decreased by $70 million, while if each credit were rated one grade worse, the allowance would have increased by $166 million. Similarly, if the loss given default were one rating worse, the allowance would have increased by $27 million, while if the loss given default were one rating better, the allowance would have decreased by $22 million. For impaired credits, if the net carrying value of the loans was 10% higher or lower, the allowance would have decreased or increased by $1 million, respectively.

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 are comprised of federal funds purchased and securities sold under repurchase agreements, payables to customers and broker-dealers, commercial paper and other borrowed funds. Certain other borrowings, for example, securities sold under repurchase agreements, require the delivery of securities as collateral.
See “Liquidity and dividends” below for a discussion of long-term debt and liquidity metrics that we monitor.

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, especially during periods of market stress. 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 flows, without adversely affecting daily operations or our financial condition. Liquidity risk can arise from cash flow mismatches, market constraints from the inability to convert assets to cash, inability to raise cash in the markets, deposit run-off, or contingent liquidity events.

BNY Mellon
For additional information on our liquidity policy, see “Risk Management - Liquidity risk” in our 2013 Annual Report.
Our overall approach to liquidity management is to ensure that sources of liquidity are sufficient in amount and diversity such that changes in funding requirements at the Parent and at the various bank subsidiaries can be accommodated routinely without material adverse impact on earnings, daily operations or our financial condition.
BNY Mellon seeks to maintain an adequate liquidity cushion in both normal and stressed environments and seeks to diversify funding sources by line of business, customer and market segment. Additionally, we seek to maintain liquidity ratios within approved limits and liquidity risk tolerance, maintain a liquid asset buffer that can be liquidated, financed and/or pledged as necessary, and control the levels and sources of wholesale funds.
Potential uses of liquidity include withdrawals of customer deposits and client drawdowns on unfunded credit or liquidity facilities. We actively monitor unfunded lending-related commitments, thereby reducing unanticipated funding requirements.
When monitoring liquidity, we evaluate multiple metrics in order to have ample liquidity for expected and unexpected events. Metrics include cashflow mismatches, asset maturities, debt spreads, peer ratios, liquid assets, unencumbered collateral, funding sources and balance sheet liquidity ratios.
Internal ratios we currently monitor as part of our standard analysis include total loans as a percentage of total deposits, deposits as a percentage of total interest-earning assets, foreign deposits as a percentage of total interest-earning assets, purchased funds as a percentage of total interest-earning assets, liquid assets as a percentage of total interest-earning assets, liquid assets as a percentage of purchased
funds, and discount window collateral and central bank deposits as a percentage of total deposits. All of these internal ratios exceeded our minimum guidelines at
March 31, 2014
. In addition, we monitor the revised Basel III liquidity coverage ratio and continue to evaluate the U.S. banking agencies’ proposal for the Basel III liquidity coverage ratio (“LCR”).
We also perform liquidity stress tests to ensure the Company maintains sufficient liquidity resources under multiple stress scenarios. Stress tests are based on scenarios that measure liquidity risks under unlikely but plausible events. The Company performs these tests under various time horizons ranging from one day to one year in a base case, as well as supplemental tests to determine whether the Company’s liquidity is sufficient for severe market events and firm-specific events. Under our scenario testing program, the results of the tests indicate that the Company has sufficient liquidity.
Commencing January 2015, we will also be subject to the liquidity requirements of the Federal Reserve’s heightened prudential standards for bank holding companies (“BHCs”) with total consolidated assets of $50 billion or more, described under “Supervision and Regulation - Enhanced Prudential Standards” in our 2013 Annual Report.
We define available funds as liquid funds (which include interest-bearing deposits with banks and federal funds sold and securities purchased under resale agreements), cash and due from banks, and interest-bearing deposits with the Federal Reserve and other central banks. The table below presents our total available funds including liquid funds at period-end and on an average basis. The lower level of available funds at
March 31, 2014
compared with
Dec. 31, 2013
primarily resulted from a lower level of client deposits.

On an average basis, non-core sources of funds, such as money market rate accounts, federal funds purchased and securities sold under repurchase agreements, trading liabilities, commercial paper and other borrowings, were $23.3 billion for the
first quarter of 2014
and $18.9 billion for the
first quarter of 2013
. The increase primarily reflects higher levels of securities sold under repurchase agreements, partially offset by lower levels of trading liabilities. Average foreign deposits, primarily from our European-based Investment Services business, were $101.1 billion for the
first quarter of 2014
compared with $99.0 billion for the
first quarter of 2013
. The increase primarily reflects growth in client deposits. Domestic savings, interest-bearing demand and time deposits averaged $46.3 billion for the
first quarter of 2014
compared with $43.0 billion for the
first quarter of 2013
. The increase primarily reflects higher time and interest-bearing demand deposits.
Average payables to customers and broker-dealers were $8.9 billion for the
first quarter of 2014
and $9.0 billion for the
first quarter of 2013
. Payables to customers and broker-dealers are driven by customer trading activity and market volatility. Long-term debt averaged $20.4 billion for the
first quarter of 2014
and $18.9 billion for the
first quarter of 2013
. The increase in average long-term debt was driven by the issuance of long-term debt in the second half of 2013 and the
first quarter of 2014
in anticipation of debt maturing in 2014. Average noninterest-bearing deposits increased to $81.4 billion for the
first quarter of 2014
from $70.3 billion for the
first quarter of 2013
, reflecting growth in client deposits. A significant reduction in our Investment Services business would reduce our access to deposits. See “Asset/liability management” for additional factors that could impact our deposit balances.
The Parent has four major sources of liquidity:
•
cash on hand;
•
dividends from its subsidiaries;
•
access to the commercial paper market; and
•
access to the debt and equity markets.
Subsequent to
March 31, 2014
, our bank subsidiaries could declare dividends to the Parent of approximately $1.4 billion, without the need for a regulatory waiver. In addition, at
March 31, 2014
, non-bank subsidiaries of the Parent had liquid assets of approximately $1.7 billion.
In April 2014, BNY Mellon announced a 13% increase in the quarterly common stock dividend from $0.15 to $0.17 per common share. Our common stock dividend payout ratio was
26%
for the
first three months of 2014
. The Federal Reserve’s current guidance provides that, for large bank holding companies like us, dividend payout ratios exceeding 30% of after-tax net income will receive particularly close scrutiny.
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 contained in our 2013 Annual Report.
The Parent’s average commercial paper borrowings were $102 million in the the
first quarter of 2014
and $245 million in the
first quarter of 2013
. The Parent had cash of $7.0 billion at
March 31, 2014
, compared with $6.8 billion at
Dec. 31, 2013
. In addition to issuing commercial paper for funding purposes, the Parent issues commercial paper, on an overnight basis, to certain custody clients with excess demand
38
BNY Mellon
deposit balances. Overnight commercial paper outstanding issued by the Parent was $27 million at
March 31, 2014
and $96 million at
Dec. 31, 2013
. Net of commercial paper outstanding, the Parent’s cash position at
March 31, 2014
, increased by $321 million compared with
Dec. 31, 2013
, primarily reflecting the issuance of senior medium-term notes, partially offset by maturities of long-term debt and common share repurchases.
The Parent’s major uses of funds are payment of dividends, repurchases of common stock, principal and interest payments on its borrowings, acquisitions and additional investments in its subsidiaries.
In the
first quarter of 2014
, we repurchased
11.6 million
common shares at an average price of
$32.41
per common share for a total of
$375 million
.
The Parent’s liquidity policy is to have sufficient unencumbered cash and cash equivalents on hand to meet its forecasted debt redemptions, net interest payments and net tax payments over the next 18 to 24 months without the need to receive dividends from its bank subsidiaries or issue debt. As of
March 31, 2014
, the Parent was in compliance with its liquidity policy.
In addition to our other funding sources, we also have the ability to access the capital markets. In June 2013, we filed shelf registration statements on Form S-3 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) covering the issuance of certain securities, including an unlimited amount of debt, common stock, preferred stock and trust preferred securities, as well as common stock issued under the Direct Stock Purchase and Dividend Reinvestment Plans. These registration statements will expire in June 2016, at which time we plan to file new shelf registration statements.
Our ability to access the capital markets on favorable terms, or at all, is partially dependent on our credit ratings, which, as of
March 31, 2014
, were as follows:

As a result of S&P’s government support assumptions on certain U.S. financial institutions, the Parent’s ratings by S&P benefit from one notch of “lift”. Similarly, The Bank of New York Mellon’s and BNY Mellon, N.A.’s ratings benefit from two notches of “lift” from Moody’s Investor Service (“Moody’s”) and one notch of “lift” from S&P. In June 2013, S&P indicated that they are reconsidering the inclusion of assumed government support in its ratings on the eight U.S. bank holding companies that they view as having high systemic importance, including The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation. For further discussion on the impact of a credit rating downgrade, see Note 17 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Long-term debt totaled
$20.6 billion
at
March 31, 2014
and

at
Dec. 31, 2013
. In the
first quarter of 2014

The Parent has $3.67 billion of long-term debt that will mature and has the option to call $300 million of subordinated debt in the remainder of 2014, which it may call and refinance if market conditions are favorable.
At
March 31, 2014
,
we had
$333 million
of trust preferred securities outstanding. Under the Final Capital Rules, these trust preferred securities may continue to be included in Tier 1 or Tier 2 capital up to the following percentages: calendar year 2014 - 50%; calendar year 2015 - 25%; and calendar year 2016 and beyond - 0%. Certain amounts of trust preferred securities that are excluded from additional Tier 1 capital due to this phase-in schedule may be eligible for inclusion in Tier 2 capital, pursuant to the standards established in the Final Capital Rules. Any decision to take action with respect to these trust preferred securities will be based on several considerations including interest rates, the availability of cash and capital, as well as the implementation of the Final Capital Rules.
The double leverage ratio is the ratio of investment in subsidiaries divided by our consolidated equity, which includes our noncumulative perpetual preferred stock plus trust preferred securities. Our double leverage ratio was 110.1% at
March 31, 2014
and 109.4% at
Dec. 31, 2013
. The double leverage ratio is monitored by regulators and rating agencies and is an important constraint on our ability to invest in our subsidiaries and expand our businesses.
Pershing LLC, an indirect subsidiary of BNY Mellon, has uncommitted lines of credit in place for liquidity purposes which are guaranteed by the Parent. Pershing LLC has eight separate uncommitted lines of credit amounting to $1.5 billion in aggregate. A committed line of credit of $750 million extended by 16 financial institutions matured in March 2014 and was not renewed. There were no borrowings against the lines in the
first quarter of 2014
.
Pershing Limited, an indirect UK-based subsidiary of BNY Mellon, has uncommitted lines of credit in place for liquidity purposes, which are guaranteed by the Parent. Pershing Limited has two separate uncommitted lines of credit amounting to $250 million in aggregate. Average daily borrowing under these lines was $93 million, in aggregate, in the
first quarter of 2014
.
Statement of cash flows
Cash used for operating activities was
$1.1 billion
in the
three months ended March 31, 2014
compared with
$2.7 billion
in the
three months ended March 31, 2013
. In the first three months of 2014, cash flows used for operations were principally the result of changes in accruals and other, partially offset by earnings. In the
three months ended March 31, 2013
, cash flows used for operations were principally the result of changes in trading activities, accruals and other and the net loss in the
first quarter of 2013
.
In the
three months ended March 31, 2014
, cash provided by investing activities was
$7.4 billion
compared with
$7.3 billion
in the
three months ended March 31, 2013
. In both the first three months of 2014 and 2013, a decrease in interest-bearing deposits with the Federal Reserve and other central banks and sales, paydowns and maturities of securities available-for-sale, partially offset by purchases of securities available-for-sale were significant sources of funds. In the
three months ended March 31, 2014
,
increases in interest-bearing deposits with banks, federal funds sold and securities purchased under resale agreements and loans were significant uses of funds.
In the
three months ended March 31, 2014
, cash used for financing activities was
$6.7 billion
compared with
$4.8 billion
in the
three months ended March 31, 2013
. In the first three months of 2014, a decrease in deposits, partially offset by the proceeds from the issuance of long-term debt and an increase in payables to customers and broker-dealers was a significant use of funds. In the
first quarter of 2013
, a decrease in deposits, partially offset by proceeds from the issuance of long-term debt and an increase in federal funds purchased and securities sold under repurchase agreements was a significant use of funds.

Total The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation shareholders’ equity at
March 31, 2014
increased to
$38.0 billion
from
$37.5 billion
at
Dec. 31, 2013
. The increase primarily reflects earnings retention, approximately $160 million resulting from the exercise of stock options and awards and employee benefit plan contributions and an increase in the value of our investment securities portfolio, partially offset by share repurchases.
The unrealized net of tax gain on our available-for-sale investment securities portfolio recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income was
$487 million
at
March 31, 2014
, compared with
$357 million
at
Dec. 31, 2013
. The increase in the valuation of the investment securities portfolio was driven by a reduction in long-term interest rates.
During the
first quarter of 2014
, we repurchased
11.6 million
common shares at an average price of
$32.41
per common share for a total of
$375 million
.
In March 2014, BNY Mellon received confirmation that the Federal Reserve did not object to our 2014 comprehensive capital plan. The board of directors subsequently approved the repurchase of up to $1.74 billion worth of common stock, or approximately $430 million per quarter in the remainder of 2014, including both open market purchases and employee
benefit plan repurchases. The board-authorized share repurchase amount increased 29% from the prior year’s authorization. From April 1, 2014 through May 8, 2014, we repurchased
9.0 million
common shares at an average price of
$34.02
per common share for a total of
$308 million
.
On April 7, 2014, The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation announced a 13% increase in the quarterly common stock dividend, from $0.15 per common share to $0.17 per common share. This cash dividend was paid on May 7, 2014 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on April 25, 2014.
Capital adequacy
Regulators establish certain levels of capital for bank holding companies 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, our bank subsidiaries and BNY Mellon must, among other things, qualify as “well capitalized”.
As of
March 31, 2014
and
Dec. 31, 2013
,
BNY Mellon and our bank subsidiaries were considered “well capitalized” on the basis of the Total and Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets ratios and the leverage
BNY Mellon
41
capital ratio (Tier 1 capital to quarterly average assets as defined for regulatory purposes).

At March 31, 2014 and Dec. 31, 2013, the estimated fully phased-in Basel III CET1 ratios are based on our interpretation of the Final Capital Rules released by the Federal Reserve on July 2, 2013, which will be gradually phased-in over a multi-year period. At March 31, 2013, these ratios were estimated using our interpretation of the NPRs dated June 7, 2012.
(b)
Consistent with historic practice, the risk-based capital ratios do not include the impact of the total consolidated assets of certain consolidated investment management funds. If the Company is required to include the net impact of such total consolidated assets, it would decrease the fully phased-in CET1 ratio under the Standardized Approach by approximately 60 basis points and the Advanced Approach by approximately 90 basis points at March 31, 2014.
(c)
See “Supplemental Information - Explanation of GAAP and Non-GAAP financial measures” beginning on page
49
for a reconciliation of these ratios.
(d)
On a fully phased-in basis, we expect to satisfy a minimum Basel III CET1 ratio of at least 7%, 4.5% attributable to a minimum CET1 ratio and 2.5% attributable to a capital conservation buffer (expected to rise to 8%, assuming an additional G-SIB buffer of 1%).
(e)
At March 31, 2014, the capital ratios are based on Basel III components of capital, as phased-in, and asset risk-weightings using the general risk-based guidelines included in the Final Capital Rules (which for 2014 look to Basel I-based requirements). March 31, 2014 risk-weightings are not based on the Advanced Approach rules. The leverage ratio is based on Basel III components of capital and quarterly average total assets, as phased-in. Periods prior to March 31, 2014 are based on Basel I rules, while the CET1 ratio is a Basel I Tier 1 common ratio.
(f)

Our estimated Basel III CET1 ratio (Non-GAAP) calculated under the Standardized Approach, and based on our interpretation of the Final Capital Rules, on a fully phased-in basis, was
11.1%
at
March 31, 2014
, compared with
10.6%
at
Dec. 31, 2013
. Our estimated Basel III CET1 ratio (Non-GAAP) calculated under the Advanced Approach, and based on our interpretation of the Final Capital Rules, on a fully phased-in basis, was
10.7%
at
March 31, 2014
, compared with
11.3%
at
Dec. 31, 2013
. The decrease in the estimated Basel III CET1 ratio (Non-GAAP) calculated under the Advanced Approach primarily
reflects higher risk-weighted assets as a result of the first quarter of 2014 change to the probable loss model associated with unsecured wholesale credit exposures. For additional information on the Final Capital Rules, see “Recent accounting and regulatory developments - Regulatory developments” in our 2013 Annual Report.
In the first quarter of 2014 and the fourth quarter of 2013, net Basel III CET1 increased $1,141 million and $167 million, respectively. The table below presents the factors that impacted net Basel III CET1.

In the first quarter of 2014, the Company began to present the regulatory capital ratios, on a transition basis, under the Final Capital Rules. At March 31, 2014, the risk-based capital ratios are based on Basel III components of capital, as phased-in, and asset risk-weightings using the general risk-based guidelines included in the Final Capital Rules (which for 2014 look to Basel I-based requirements). March 31, 2014 risk-weightings are not based on the Advanced Approach rules. The leverage capital ratio is based on Basel III components of capital and quarterly average total assets, as phased-in. Periods prior to March 31, 2014 are based on Basel I rules, while the CET1 ratio is a Basel I Tier 1 common ratio. At
March 31, 2014
, our CET1 ratio was
15.7%
, our Tier 1 capital ratio was
17.0%
, our total capital ratio was 17.8% and our Tier 1 leverage ratio was
6.1%
. At Dec. 31, 2013, based on Basel I guidelines, our CET1 ratio was
14.5%
, our Tier 1 capital ratio was
16.2%
, our total capital ratio was
17.0%
and our Tier 1 leverage ratio was
5.4%
.
At
March 31, 2014
, the amounts of capital by which BNY Mellon and our largest bank subsidiary, The Bank of New York Mellon, exceed the capital ratios determined under the transitional rules are follows.

Our tangible BNY Mellon common shareholders’ equity to tangible assets of operations ratio was
6.6%
at
March 31, 2014
and
6.8%
at
Dec. 31, 2013
. The decrease primarily reflects less cash on deposit with the Federal Reserve and other central banks.
At
March 31, 2014
, we had
$333 million
of trust preferred securities outstanding, of which 50% currently qualify as Tier 1 capital and 50% as Tier 2 capital. Under the Final Capital Rules, these trust preferred securities may continue to be included in Tier 1 or Tier 2 capital up to the following percentages: calendar year 2014 - 50%; calendar year 2015 - 25%; and calendar year 2016 and beyond - 0%. Certain amounts of trust preferred securities that are excluded from additional Tier 1 capital due to this phase-in schedule may be eligible for inclusion in Tier 2 capital, pursuant to the standards established in the Final Capital Rules. Any decision to take action with respect to these trust preferred securities will be based on several considerations including interest rates, the availability of cash and capital, as well as the implementation of the Final Capital Rules.
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 our 2013 Annual Report in “Supervision and Regulation-Regulated Entities of BNY Mellon and Ancillary Regulatory Requirements” and “Risk Factors-Operational and Business Risk-Failure to satisfy regulatory standards, including “well capitalized” and
44
BNY Mellon
“well managed” status or capital adequacy rules more generally, could result in limitations on our activities and adversely affect our business and financial condition.”
Capital ratios vary depending on the size of the balance sheet at quarter-end and the level and types of investments in assets. The balance sheet size fluctuates from quarter to quarter 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.
Trading activities and risk management
Our trading activities are focused on acting as a market maker for our customers and facilitating customer trades. Positions managed for our own account are immaterial to our foreign exchange and other trading revenue and to our overall results of operations. The risk from market-making activities for customers is managed by our traders and limited in total exposure through a system of position limits, a value-at-risk (“VaR”) methodology based on a Monte Carlo simulation, stop loss advisory triggers, and other market sensitivity measures. The calculation of our VaR used by management and presented below assumes a one-day holding period, utilizes a 99% confidence level, and incorporates the non-linear characteristics of options. See Note 17 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:

VaR figures do not reflect the impact of credit valuation adjustment (“CVA”) guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820. This is consistent with the regulatory treatment. VaR exposure does not include the impact of the Company’s consolidated investment management funds and seed capital investments.
N/M - Because the minimum and maximum may occur on different days for different risk components, it is not meaningful to compute a minimum and maximum portfolio diversification effect.
The interest rate component of VaR represents instruments whose values predominantly vary with the level or volatility of interest rates. These instruments include, but are not limited to: debt securities, mortgage-backed 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 exchange-traded futures and options, and other currency derivative products.
The equity component of VaR is comprised 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, Depositary Receipts, listed equity options (puts and calls), over-the-counter (“OTC”) equity options, equity total return swaps, equity index futures and other equity derivative products.

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
first quarter of 2014
, interest rate risk generated
72%
of average VaR, equity risk generated
19%
of average VaR and foreign exchange risk accounted for
9%
of average VaR. During the
first quarter of 2014
, our daily trading loss did not exceed our calculated VaR amount of the overall portfolio on any given day.
The following table of total daily trading revenue or loss illustrates the number of trading days in which our trading revenue or loss fell within particular ranges during the past five quarters. Fluctuations between periods are primarily driven by volatility in the foreign exchange markets.

Foreign exchange and other trading revenue totaled
$136 million
in the
first quarter of 2014
,
$161 million
in the
first quarter of 2013
and
$146 million
in the
fourth quarter of 2013
. In the
first quarter of 2014
, foreign exchange revenue totaled
$130 million
, a decrease of 13% year-over-year and an increase of 3% (unannualized) sequentially. Comparisons with both prior periods were impacted by lower volatility, and higher volumes driven by enhancements to our electronic foreign exchange platform. Other trading revenue totaled
$6 million
in the
first quarter of 2014
compared with
$12 million
in the
first quarter of 2013
and
$20 million
in the
fourth quarter of 2013
. The decrease from both prior periods reflects lower fixed income trading revenue. Foreign exchange revenue and fixed income trading revenue is reported in the Investment Services business and the Other segment.
Other trading revenue is primarily reported in the Other segment.
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
$11 billion
at
March 31, 2014
compared with
$12 billion
at
Dec. 31, 2013
.
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
$7 billion
at both
March 31, 2014
and
Dec. 31, 2013
.
Under our mark-to-market 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.
As required by ASC 820,
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures
, we reflect external credit ratings as well as observable credit default swap spreads for both ourselves as well as 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. In addition, in cases where a counterparty is deemed impaired, further analyses are performed to value such positions.
At
March 31, 2014
, our over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivative assets of $3.7 billion included a CVA deduction of $31 million. Our OTC derivative liabilities of $4.4 billion included a debit valuation adjustment (“DVA”) of $6 million related to our own credit spread. Net of hedges, the CVA decreased $1 million and the DVA increased $1 million in the
first quarter of 2014
. The net impact of these adjustments increased foreign exchange and other trading revenue by $2 million in the
first quarter of 2014
.
In the
fourth quarter of 2013
, net of hedges, the CVA increased $4 million and the DVA increased $1 million. The net impact of these adjustments decreased foreign exchange and other trading revenue by $3 million in the
fourth quarter of 2013
.
46
BNY Mellon
In the
first quarter of 2013
, net of hedges, the CVA decreased $31 million and the DVA decreased $13 million. The net impact of these adjustments increased foreign exchange and other trading revenue by $18 million in the
first quarter of 2013
.
The table below summarizes the risk ratings for our foreign exchange and interest rate derivative counterparty credit exposure. This information indicates the degree of risk to which we are exposed. Significant changes in ratings classifications for our foreign exchange and other trading activity could result in increased risk for us. The sequential change in ratings categories reflects lower counterparty exposure in the A+ to A- category driven by lower swap rates and the maturity of certain large exposures.

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 are 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. The model incorporates management’s assumptions regarding interest rates, balance changes on core deposits, market 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. As a result, the earnings simulation model cannot precisely estimate net interest revenue or the impact of higher or lower interest rates on net interest revenue. Actual results may differ 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.
These scenarios do not reflect strategies that management could employ to limit the impact as interest rate expectations change. The table below relies on certain critical assumptions regarding the balance sheet and depositors’ behavior related to interest rate fluctuations and the prepayment and extension risk in certain of our assets. To the extent that actual behavior is different from that assumed in the models, there could be a change in interest rate sensitivity.
We evaluate the effect on earnings by running various interest rate ramp scenarios from a baseline scenario. These scenarios are reviewed to examine the impact of large interest rate movements. Interest rate sensitivity is quantified by calculating the change in pre-tax net interest revenue between the scenarios over a 12-month measurement period.

Our net interest revenue sensitivity table above incorporates assumptions about the impact of changes in interest rates on depositor behavior based on historical experience. Given the current historically low interest rate environment, a rise in interest rates could lead to higher depositor withdrawals than historically experienced.
Growth or contraction of deposits could also be affected by the following factors:
•
Monetary policy;
•
Global economic uncertainty;
•
Our ratings relative to other financial institutions’ ratings; and
•
Money market mutual fund and other regulatory reform.
Any of these events could change our assumptions about depositor behavior and have a significant impact on our balance sheet and net interest revenue.
Off-balance sheet arrangements
Off-balance sheet arrangements discussed in this section are limited to guarantees, retained or contingent interests and obligations arising out of unconsolidated variable interest entities. For BNY Mellon, these items include certain credit guarantees and securitizations. Guarantees include: lending-related guarantees 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.

BNY Mellon
Supplemental information - Explanation of GAAP and Non-GAAP financial measures
BNY Mellon has included in this Form 10-Q certain Non-GAAP financial measures based upon fully phased-in Basel III CET1, Basel I Tier 1 common equity and tangible common shareholders’ equity. BNY Mellon believes that the Basel III CET1 ratio on a fully phased-in basis, the ratio of Tier 1 common equity to risk-weighted assets and the ratio of tangible common shareholders’ equity to tangible assets of operations are measures of capital strength that provide additional useful information to investors, supplementing the transitional CET1, Tier 1 and Total capital ratios which are utilized by regulatory authorities. The tangible common shareholders’ equity ratio includes changes in investment securities valuations which are reflected in total shareholders’ equity. In addition, this ratio is expressed as a percentage of the actual book value of assets, as opposed to a percentage of a risk-based reduced value established in accordance with regulatory requirements, although BNY Mellon in its reconciliation has excluded certain assets which are given a zero percent risk-weighting for regulatory purposes. Further, BNY Mellon believes that the return on tangible common equity measure, which excludes goodwill and intangible assets net of deferred tax liabilities, is a useful additional measure for investors because it presents a measure of BNY Mellon’s performance in reference to those assets that are productive in generating income. BNY Mellon has provided a measure of tangible book value per share, which it believes provides additional useful information as to the level of such assets in relation to shares of common stock outstanding. BNY Mellon has presented its estimated fully phased-in Basel III CET1 ratios based on its intrepretation of the Final Capital Rules released by the Federal Reserve on July 2, 2013, and on the application of such rules to BNY Mellon’s businesses as currently conducted. The estimated fully phased-in Basel III CET1 ratio is necessarily subject to, among other things, BNY Mellon’s further review of the Final Capital Rules, anticipated compliance with all necessary enhancements to model calibration, and other refinements, further implementation guidance from regulators and any changes BNY Mellon may make to its businesses. Consequently, BNY Mellon’s estimated fully phased-in Basel III CET1 ratio may change based on these factors. Management views the estimated fully phased-in Basel III CET1 ratio as a key measure in monitoring BNY Mellon’s capital
position and progress against future regulatory capital standards. Additionally, the presentation of the estimated fully phased-in Basel III CET1 ratio is intended to allow investors to compare BNY Mellon’s estimated fully phased-in Basel III CET1 ratio with estimates presented by other companies. BNY Mellon has presented Basel I Tier 1 common equity ratios for certain prior periods because management views this measure as a useful comparison for evaluating its progress relative to the transitional CET1 ratio at March 31, 2014, which is utilized by regulatory authorities.
BNY Mellon has presented revenue measures which exclude the effect of noncontrolling interests related to consolidated investment management funds, certain money market fee waivers; and expense measures which exclude M&I expenses, litigation charges, restructuring charges, certain money market fee waivers and amortization of intangible assets. Return on equity measures and operating margin measures, which exclude some or all of these items, are also presented. Return on equity and earnings per share measures also exclude the charge related to the disallowance of certain foreign tax credits and/or the loss related to an equity investment. BNY Mellon believes these measures are useful to investors because they permit a focus on period-to-period comparisons, which relate to the ability of BNY Mellon to enhance revenues and limit expenses in circumstances where such matters are within BNY Mellon’s control. The excluded items, in general, relate to certain ongoing charges as a result of prior transactions or where we have incurred charges. M&I expenses primarily relate to the acquisitions of Global Investment Servicing on July 1, 2010 and BHF Asset Servicing GmbH on Aug. 2, 2010. M&I expenses generally continue for approximately three years after the transaction and can vary on a year-to-year basis depending on the stage of the integration. BNY Mellon believes the exclusion of M&I expenses provides investors with a focus on BNY Mellon’s business as it would appear on a consolidated going-forward basis, after such M&I expenses have ceased. Future periods will not reflect such M&I expenses, and thus may be more easily compared with our current results if M&I expenses are excluded. Litigation charges represent accruals for loss contingencies that are both probable and reasonably estimable, but exclude standard business-related legal fees. Restructuring charges relate to our Operational Excellence Initiatives and migrating positions to Global Delivery Centers. Excluding these charges

permits investors to view expenses on a basis consistent with how management views the business.
The presentation of income from consolidated investment management funds, net of net income attributable to noncontrolling interest related to the consolidation of certain investment management funds permits investors to view revenue on a basis consistent with how management views the business. BNY Mellon believes these presentations, as a supplement to GAAP information, give investors a clearer picture of the results of its primary businesses.
In this Form 10-Q, the net interest margin is presented on an FTE basis. We believe this
presentation provides comparability of amounts arising from both taxable and tax-exempt sources, and is consistent with industry practice. The adjustment to an FTE basis has no impact on net income. Each of these measures as described above is used by management to monitor financial performance, both on a company-wide and business-level basis.
Certain prior periods were restated to reflect the retrospective application of adopting new accounting guidance related to our investments in qualified affordable housing projects (ASU 2014-01). See Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Following are the primary differences between risk-weighted assets determined under fully phased-in Basel III-Standardized Approach and Basel I. Credit risk is determined under Basel I using predetermined risk-weights and asset classes and relies in part on the use of external credit ratings. Under fully phased-in Basel III, the Standardized Approach uses a broader range of predetermined risk-weights and asset classes and certain alternatives to external credit ratings. Securitization exposure receives a higher risk-weighting under fully phased-in Basel III than Basel I, and fully phased-in Basel III includes additional adjustments for market risk, counterparty credit risk and equity exposures. Additionally, the Standardized Approach eliminates the use of the VaR approach for determining risk-weighted assets on certain repo-style transactions. In 2014, risk-weighted assets include transition adjustments for intangible assets, other than goodwill, and significant investments in unconsolidated financial institutions.

At March 31, 2014 and Dec. 31, 2013, the estimated fully phased-in Basel III CET1 ratios are based on our interpretation of the Final Capital Rules, which will be gradually phased-in over a multi-year period. At March 31, 2013, these ratios were estimated using our interpretation of the NPRs dated June 7, 2012.
(b)
Consistent with historic practice, the risk-based capital ratios do not include the impact of the total consolidated assets of certain consolidated investment management funds. If the Company is required to include the net impact of such total consolidated assets, it would decrease the fully phased-in CET1 ratio under the Standardized Approach by approximately 60 basis points and the Advanced Approach by approximately 90 basis points at March 31, 2014.
(c)
Following are the primary differences between risk-weighted assets determined under Basel I and Basel III. Credit risk is determined under Basel I using predetermined risk-weights and asset classes and relies in part on the use of external credit ratings. Under Basel III both the Standardized and Advanced Approaches use a broader range of predetermined risk-weights and asset classes and certain alternatives to external credit ratings. Securitization exposure receives a higher risk-weighting under Basel III than Basel I, and Basel III includes additional adjustments for market risk, counterparty credit risk and equity exposures. Additionally, the Standardized Approach eliminates the use of the VaR approach for determining risk-weighted assets on certain repo-style transactions. Risk-weighted assets calculated under the Advanced Approach also include the use of internal credit models and parameters as well as an adjustment for operational risk. In 2014, risk-weighted assets include transition adjustments for intangible assets, other than goodwill, and significant investments in unconsolidated financial institutions.

Recent accounting and regulatory developments
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
ASU - 2014-08 - Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an entity
On April 10, 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”), “Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity.” This ASU changes the criteria for determining which future disposals can be presented as discontinued operations and modifies related disclosure requirements. This ASU is effective for periods beginning on or after Dec. 15, 2014. Early adoption is permitted.
Proposed Accounting Standards
Proposed ASU - Revenue from Contracts with Customers
In June 2010, the FASB issued a proposed ASU, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” This proposed ASU is the result of a joint project of the FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) to clarify the principles for recognizing revenue and develop a common standard for U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). This proposed ASU would establish a broad principle that would require an entity to identify the contract with a customer, identify the separate performance obligations in the contract, determine the transaction price, allocate the transaction price to the separate performance obligations and recognize revenue when each separate performance obligation is satisfied. In 2011, the FASB and the IASB revised several aspects of the original proposal to include distinguishing between goods and services, segmenting contracts, accounting for warranty obligations and deferring contract origination costs.
The comment period has ended and re-deliberations are now substantially complete. A final standard is expected to be issued during the second quarter of 2014. The FASB and IASB tentatively decided that the effective date of the proposed standard would be annual reporting periods beginning on or after Jan. 1, 2017.
Proposed ASU - Principal versus Agent Analysis
In November 2011, the FASB issued a proposed ASU “Principal versus Agent Analysis.” This proposed ASU would rescind the 2010 indefinite deferral of FAS 167 for certain investment funds, including mutual funds, hedge funds, mortgage real estate investment funds, private equity funds, and venture capital funds, and amends the pre-existing guidance for evaluating consolidation of voting general partnerships and similar entities. The proposed ASU also amends the criteria for determining whether an entity is a variable interest entity under FAS 167, which could affect whether an entity is within its scope. Accordingly, certain funds that previously were not consolidated must be reviewed to determine whether they will now be required to be consolidated. The proposed accounting standard will continue to require BNY Mellon to determine whether or not it has a variable interest in a variable interest entity. However, consolidation of its variable interest entity and voting general partnership asset management funds will be based on whether or not BNY Mellon, as the asset manager, uses its power as a decision maker as either a principal or an agent. Based on a preliminary review of the proposed ASU, we do not expect to be required to consolidate additional mutual funds, hedge funds, mortgage real estate investment funds, private equity funds, and venture capital funds. In addition, we expect to deconsolidate a portion of the CLOs we currently consolidate, with further deconsolidation possible depending on future changes to BNY Mellon’s investment in subordinated notes. The FASB has recently begun re-deliberating the proposed ASU. A final ASU is expected to be issued during the second half of 2014.
Proposed ASU - Leases
In May 2013, the FASB and IASB issued a revised proposed ASU on leases. The proposed ASU introduces new accounting models for both lessees and lessors, primarily to address concerns related to off-balance-sheet financing arrangements available to lessees under current guidance. The proposal would require lessees to account for all leases on the balance sheet, except for certain short-term leases that have a maximum possible lease term of 12 months or less, including any options to renew. A lessee would recognize on its balance sheet (1) an asset for its right to use the underlying asset over the lease term and (2) a liability representing its obligation to make lease payments over the lease term. The income statement
56
BNY Mellon
impact for lessees would depend on the nature of the underlying asset - that is, whether the underlying asset is property or an asset other than property - and the terms and conditions of the lease. The proposed ASU also introduces new accounting guidance for lessors. Lessors would account for leases under either the new receivable-and-residual approach or an approach similar to current operating-lease accounting. The appropriate approach to use would depend on the nature of the underlying asset - that is, whether the underlying asset is property or an asset other than property - and the terms and conditions of the lease. If finalized, the proposed ASU would converge the most significant aspects of the FASB’s and IASB’s accounting for lease contracts. In March 2014, the FASB and IASB re-deliberated the ASU and were unable to reach a consensus on certain key issues. Deliberations are expected to continue over the coming months.
Proposed ASU - Financial Instruments - Credit Losses
In December 2012, the FASB issued a proposed ASU, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses.” This proposed ASU would result in a single model to account for credit losses on financial assets. The proposal would remove the probable threshold for recognizing credit losses and require a current estimate of the expected contractual cash flows an entity does not expect to collect on financial assets that are not measured at fair value through the income statement. The proposal would also change current practice for recognizing OTTI and interest income on debt securities. In addition, the proposal would result in the recognition of an allowance for credit losses for nearly all types of debt instruments. The proposal would expand the credit quality disclosures to require information about changes in the factors that influence estimates of credit losses and the reasons for those changes. The FASB has decided on a current expected credit loss model. Currently, the FASB and IASB are re-deliberating based on comments received. An effective date has not been determined.
Proposed ASU - Effective Control for Transfers with Forward Agreements to Repurchase Assets and Accounting for Repurchase Financings
In January 2013, the FASB issued a proposed ASU, “Effective Control for Transfers with Forward Agreements to Repurchase Assets and Accounting for
Repurchase Financings.” This proposed ASU would require certain repurchase agreements to be accounted for as secured borrowings. For repurchase agreements and similar transactions accounted for as secured borrowings, an entity would be required to disclose the carrying value of the borrowing disaggregated by the type of collateral pledged. The proposed ASU would be effective for annual and interim periods beginning after Dec. 15, 2014. A final standard is expected to be issued during the second quarter of 2014.
Proposed ASU - Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
In February 2013, the FASB issued a proposed ASU, “Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” This proposed ASU would affect entities that hold financial assets and liabilities and would change the methodology related to recognition, classification, measurement and presentation of financial instruments. The scope of the proposed ASU would exclude instruments classified in shareholders’ equity, share-based arrangements, pension plans, leases, guarantees and derivative instruments accounted under ASC 815,
Derivatives and Hedging
. Financial assets would be classified and measured based on the instrument’s cash flow characteristics and an entity’s business model for managing the instrument. Financial liabilities would generally be measured initially at their transaction price. The proposal includes three principal classification and measurement categories: (1) fair value for which all changes in fair value are recognized in net income; (2) fair value with qualifying changes in fair value recognized in other comprehensive income; and (3) amortized cost. This proposed ASU requires financial assets and liabilities to be presented separately on the balance sheet by measurement category. In addition, the fair value of financial assets and liabilities accounted for under amortized cost would be presented parenthetically on the balance sheet. In January 2014, the FASB tentatively decided not to continue to pursue the business model assessment approach for classification and measurement of financial assets. The FASB is considering whether it should align, or keep separate, the recognition and measurement accounting models for debt securities and loans.

Adoption of new accounting standards
For a discussion of the adoption of new accounting standards, see Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
IFRS
IFRS are a set of standards and interpretations adopted by the IASB. Commencing with the issuance of the “roadmap” in November 2008, the SEC has considered potential methods of incorporation of IFRS in the United States. The use of IFRS for U.S. companies with global operations would allow for streamlined reporting, allow for easier access to foreign capital markets and investments, and facilitate cross-border acquisitions, ventures or spin-offs.
In July 2012, the SEC staff released its final report on IFRS. This Final Report will be used by the SEC Commissioners to decide whether and, if so, when and how to incorporate IFRS into the financial reporting system for U.S. companies. It is not known when the SEC will make a final decision on the adoption of IFRS in the United States.
While the SEC decides whether IFRS will be required to be used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements, a number of countries have mandated the use of IFRS by BNY Mellon’s subsidiaries in their statutory reports filed in those countries. Such countries include Belgium, Brazil, the Netherlands, Australia, Hong Kong, Canada and South Korea.
Update to Internal Controls - Integrated Framework
On May 14, 2013, The Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) issued an updated version of its Internal Control - Integrated Framework (the “2013 Framework”). Originally issued in 1992, the framework helps organizations design, implement and evaluate the effectiveness of internal controls. Updates to the framework were intended to clarify internal control concepts and simplify their use and application. The 1992 framework will remain available during the transition period, which extends to Dec. 15, 2014, after which time COSO will consider it as superseded by the 2013 Framework. Concurrent with the 2013 Framework release, COSO indicated that organizations reporting externally
should clearly disclose whether the original Framework or the updated Framework was utilized.
Regulatory developments
For a summary of additional regulatory matters relevant to our operations, see “Supervision and regulation” in our 2013 Annual Report.
Capital Planning and Stress Testing
BNY Mellon’s capital distributions are subject to supervision and regulation by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (“Federal Reserve”). The Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review (“CCAR”) and the Dodd-Frank Act Stress Tests (“DFAST”) are a major component of the Federal Reserve’s oversight.
CCAR and the Federal Reserve’s capital planning rules require BHCs with $50 billion or more in total consolidated assets, including BNY Mellon, to submit annual capital plans to their Federal Reserve Bank. BNY Mellon and other covered BHCs may pay dividends, repurchase stock, and make other capital distributions only in accordance with a capital plan that has been reviewed by the Federal Reserve and to which the Federal Reserve has not objected. The Federal Reserve may object to a capital plan for quantitative or qualitative reasons, including if the covered BHC will not meet all minimum regulatory capital ratios and a 5% Tier 1 common ratio for each quarter throughout the nine-quarter planning horizon under stressed scenarios. We submitted our 2014 capital plan to the Federal Reserve in January 2014. On March 26, 2014, the Federal Reserve announced that it did not object to the BNY Mellon capital plan.
DFAST substantially overlaps with CCAR stress testing requirements. Under DFAST, BNY Mellon is required to undergo supervisory stress tests conducted by the Federal Reserve annually, and to conduct our own internal stress tests pursuant to regulatory requirements twice annually. The Federal Reserve published the 2014 DFAST results on March 20, 2014.
Supplementary Leverage Ratio
In July 2013, the U.S. banking agencies finalized the Basel III capital rules in the U.S. Among other new requirements, the Basel III Final Capital Rules introduced a 3% supplementary leverage ratio
58
BNY Mellon
(“SLR”) for all Advanced Approaches banking organizations. The SLR becomes effective as a binding ratio on Jan. 1, 2018, although commencing in January 2105 each Advanced Approaches banking organization is required to calculate and report its SLR. Unlike the Tier 1 leverage ratio that has long applied to U.S. banking organizations, the SLR includes certain off-balance sheet exposures in the denominator, including the potential future exposure of derivative contracts and notional amount of commitments.
In July 2013, the U.S. banking agencies proposed to increase the SLR for the eight global systemically important banks (“G-SIBs”) and their insured depository institution subsidiaries. The agencies finalized this “enhanced” SLR largely as proposed in April 2014. The enhanced SLR requires BNY Mellon and other G-SIB bank holding companies to maintain a 2% buffer over the minimum 3% SLR for a total 5% SLR in order to avoid certain restrictions on capital distributions and discretionary bonus payments. In addition, the eight G-SIBs’ insured depository institution subsidiaries must maintain a 6% SLR to be deemed “well-capitalized” under the “prompt corrective action” framework. The final enhanced SLR rule for G-SIBs, like the SLR more generally applicable to all Advanced Approaches banking organizations, will become effective on Jan. 1, 2018.
The Basel Committee finalized changes to the denominator of the Basel III leverage ratio in January 2014. These modifications would change the exposure measurement methodology for the on-balance sheet assets and off-balance sheet activities of banking organizations subject to the SLR. Among other changes, the final Basel III denominator allows daily averaging for leverage ratio calculations and adopts more favorable “credit conversion factors” for commitments. In April 2014, the U.S. banking agencies issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (“NPR”) to modify the SLR denominator in the U.S. to align with the final Basel III changes to the leverage ratio denominator. The proposed changes would apply to all advanced approaches banking organizations subject to the SLR and all the G-SIBs and their insured depository institution subsidiaries subject to the enhanced SLR.
Credit Exposure Limits
The Basel Committee issued a Consultative Document in March 2013 outlining a supervisory framework for measuring and controlling large exposures. The framework is conceptually analogous to the Federal Reserve’s proposed single counterparty credit limits implementing section 165(e) of the Dodd-Frank Act. The Federal Reserve did not finalize the single counterparty credit limits as part of the final February 2014 enhanced prudential standards rules, instead waiting for the Basel Committee to finish its work on the large exposures framework.
The Basel Committee finalized its large exposures framework in April 2014. Once it becomes effective on Jan. 1, 2019, the Final Large Exposures Framework:
•
Limits exposures between a banking organization and a single counterparty or a group of connected counterparties to 25% of Tier 1 capital;
•
Limits exposures between G-SIBs to 15% of Tier 1 capital;
•
Excludes intraday interbank exposures and sovereign and central bank exposures; and
•
Allows banking organizations to use risk-based capital measurements for securities financing transactions (e.g., value-at-risk) until the Basel Committee finalizes a revised exposure measurement methodology.
This framework will become binding on U.S. banking organizations only to the extent that the U.S. banking agencies implement the framework in the U.S., including through the Federal Reserve’s adoption of final single counterparty credit limits implementing section 165(e) of the Dodd-Frank Act.
Volcker Rule and Related European Initiatives
The final Volcker Rule, which implements section 619 of the Dodd-Frank Act, generally prohibits covered companies, including BNY Mellon, from engaging in proprietary trading or from acquiring or retaining an ownership interest in, sponsoring, or having certain interests with a hedge fund or private equity fund. These prohibitions are subject to several exemptions, restrictions, and definitions. In response to concerns that the final rule would require covered companies to divest ownership interests in collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”), the Federal
BNY Mellon
59
Reserve extended the conformance period for covered companies to conform their ownership or sponsorship interests in CLOs to July 21, 2017.
The final Volcker Rule is highly complex, and its full impact will not be known until market practices and structures are fully developed. BNY Mellon has until July 2015 to bring its covered activities and transactions into compliance, absent further extensions by the regulators.
In the EU, the European Commission recently outlined the EU’s proposals on structural banking reform. The proposed reforms would ban proprietary trading for systemically important banks and grant supervisory authority to separate risky trading activity from deposit taking.
EMIR (European Market Infrastructure Regulation), and the MiFID 2 (Markets in Financial Instruments Directive 2) and MiFIR (Markets in Financial Instruments Regulation) package
The European Markets Infrastructure Regulation (“EMIR”) is directed at reducing systemic risk through the centralized clearing of derivatives, and covers trade reporting, trade repositories and the performance and activities of central counterparties. Full implementation of EMIR will continue through 2014 and beyond, and details remain to be determined as regulatory technical standards continue to be issued. MiFID 2 and MiFIR have extended the scope of the original MiFID 1 to non-equity instruments such as bonds and derivatives, and create additional regulatory requirements on subject institutions, including BNY Mellon and certain of its clients. Full implementation is not anticipated to occur until 2016. Taken together, EMIR and the MiFID 2 are expected to alter certain market practices, and the impact of these standards may increase capital, margin, and other costs for market participants.
Recovery and Resolution
In April 2014, the European Parliament adopted the Bank Recovery and Resolution Directive (“BRRD”), the Single Resolution Mechanism (“SRM”), and the Deposit Guarantee Schemes Directive (“DGSD”). The BRRD establishes a bail-in regime, requires banks to prepare recovery plans, and grants authorities the power to resolve failing institutions. The SRM implements the BRRD in the Eurozone and
participating Member States and establishes a Single Resolution Fund. The DGSD further protects depositors with pre-funded guarantee schemes in each Member State.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1 - Basis of presentation
Basis of presentation
The accounting and financial reporting policies of BNY Mellon, a global financial services company, conform to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and prevailing industry practices.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods have been made. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with BNY Mellon’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended Dec. 31, 2013. Certain immaterial reclassifications have been made to prior periods to place them on a basis comparable with current period presentation.
In the first quarter of 2014, BNY Mellon elected to early adopt the new accounting guidance included in Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-01, “Accounting for Investments in Qualified Affordable Housing Projects - a Consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force.” As a result, we restated the prior period financial statements to reflect the impact of the retrospective application of the new accounting guidance. See Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
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. Amounts subject to estimates are items such as the allowance for loan losses and lending-related commitments, the fair value of financial instruments and other-than-temporary impairments, goodwill and intangible assets and pension accounting. Among other effects, such changes in estimates could result in future impairments of investment securities, goodwill and intangible assets and establishment of allowances for loan losses and lending-related commitments as well as changes in pension and post-retirement expense.
Note 2 - Accounting changes and new accounting guidance
ASU - 2014-01 - Accounting for Investments in Qualified Affordable Housing Projects - a Consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force
In January 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2014-01, “Accounting for Investments in Qualified Affordable Housing Projects - a Consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force.” This ASU permits entities that invest in a qualified affordable housing project through a limited liability entity to elect to account for the income statement effects of such investments using the proportional amortization method if certain conditions are met. The impact to the income statement was recorded in income tax expense. Investments in qualified affordable housing projects not accounted for using the proportional amortization method were accounted for as an equity method investment or cost method investment. In addition, the Company included the value of commitments to fund qualified affordable housing projects on the balance sheet. These investments are recorded in other assets. In the first quarter of 2014, we restated the prior period financial statements to reflect the impact of the retrospective application of the new accounting guidance.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(continued)
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. For acquisitions completed prior to Jan. 1, 2009, we recorded the fair value of contingent payments as an additional cost of the entity acquired in the period that the payment becomes probable. For acquisitions completed after Jan. 1, 2009, subsequent changes in the fair value of a contingent consideration liability are recorded through the income statement. Contingent payments totaled
$1 million
in the
first quarter of 2014
.
At
March 31, 2014
, we were potentially obligated to pay additional consideration which, using reasonable assumptions for the performance of the acquired companies and joint ventures based on contractual agreements, could amount to
$6 million
over the next
three months
. The acquisitions and dispositions described below did not have a material impact on BNY Mellon’s results of operations.
Dispositions in 2013
On
May 31, 2013
, BNY Mellon sold SourceNet Solutions, our accounts payable outsourcing support services provider that was part of our Investment Services business, for
$11 million
. As a result of this sale, we recorded a pre-tax gain of
$2 million
and an after-tax gain of
$10 million
.
On
Sept. 27, 2013
, Newton Management Limited, together with Newton Investment Management Limited, an investment boutique of BNY Mellon, sold Newton’s private client business, for
$120 million
. As a result of this sale, we recorded a pre-tax gain of
$27 million
and an after-tax gain of
$5 million
. In addition, goodwill of
$69 million
and customer relationship intangible assets of
$7 million
were removed from the balance sheet as a result of this sale.

Other-than-temporary impairment
We routinely conduct periodic reviews of all securities using economic models to identify and evaluate each investment security to determine whether OTTI has occurred. Various inputs to the economic models are used to determine if an unrealized loss on securities is other-than-temporary. For example, the most significant inputs related to non-agency RMBS are:
•
Default rate - the number of mortgage loans expected to go into default over the life of the transaction, which is driven by the roll rate of loans in each performance bucket that will ultimately migrate to default; and
•
Severity - the loss expected to be realized when a loan defaults.
To determine if an unrealized loss is other-than-temporary, we project total estimated defaults of the underlying assets (mortgages) and multiply that calculated amount by an estimate of realizable value upon sale of these assets in the marketplace (severity) in order to determine the projected collateral loss. In determining estimated default rate and severity assumptions, we review the performance of the underlying securities, industry studies, market forecasts, as well as our view of the economic
outlook affecting collateral. We also evaluate the current credit enhancement underlying the bond to determine the impact on cash flows. If we determine that a given security will be subject to a write-down or loss, we record the expected credit loss as a charge to earnings.
The table below shows the projected weighted-average default rates and loss severities for the 2007, 2006 and late 2005 non-agency RMBS and the securities previously held in the Grantor Trust that we established in connection with the restructuring of our investment securities portfolio in 2009, at
March 31, 2014

Dec. 31, 2013

The following table reflects investment securities credit losses recorded in earnings. The beginning balance represents the credit loss component for which OTTI occurred on debt securities in prior periods. The additions represent the first time a debt security was credit impaired or when subsequent credit impairments have occurred. The deductions represent credit losses on securities that have been sold, are required to be sold, or for which it is our intention to sell.

Past due loans at March 31, 2014 include a loan to an asset manager, Sentinel Management Group, Inc. (“Sentinel”), which was reestablished as a fully collateralized performing loan in the first quarter of 2014.
In August 2007, BNY Mellon loaned
$312 million
to Sentinel Management Group, Inc. (“Sentinel”), secured by securities and cash. Sentinel filed for bankruptcy in 2007, and BNY Mellon’s status as a secured lender is the subject of continuing litigation. In 2010, the district court ruled in favor of BNY Mellon, and the loan was repaid. An appellate court reversed the district court’s ruling on Aug. 26, 2013, and remanded to the district court for further proceedings. BNY Mellon held no loans to Sentinel at Dec. 31, 2013. On Jan. 22, 2014, the Bankruptcy Court, ordered that the funds distributed to BNY Mellon after the district court’s favorable decision be returned to the bankruptcy estate and held in a reserve earmarked for purposes of BNY Mellon’s claim until the district court issues its decision on the merits of the challenges to BNY Mellon’s lien. Accordingly, the loan was reestablished as a fully collateralized
performing loan in the first quarter of 2014. The ongoing litigation could result in a ruling adverse to BNY Mellon at some point in the future. For additional information on our legal proceedings related to this matter, see Note 18 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Troubled debt restructurings
(“
TDRs”)
A modified loan is considered a 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. Not all modified loans are considered TDRs.

Other residential mortgages
The modifications of the other residential mortgage loans in the
first quarter of 2014
,
fourth quarter of 2013
and
first quarter of 2013
consisted of reducing the stated interest rates and in certain cases, a forbearance of default and extending the maturity dates. The value of modified loans is based on the fair value of the collateral. Probable loss factors are applied to the value of the modified loans to determine the allowance for credit losses.
Foreign
The modification of the foreign loan in the
first quarter of 2014
consisted of extending the maturity
date of the loan. The difference between the book value of the loan and the net present value discounted at the original loan’s rate is included in the allowance for credit losses.
TDRs that subsequently defaulted
There were
5
residential mortgage loans that had been restructured in a TDR during the previous 12 months and have subsequently defaulted in the
first quarter of 2014
. The total recorded investment of these loans was less than
$1 million
.
Credit quality indicators
Our credit strategy is to focus on investment grade names to support cross-selling opportunities and avoid single name/industry concentrations. Each customer is assigned an internal credit rating which is
mapped to an external rating agency grade equivalent based upon a number of dimensions which are continually evaluated and may change over time.
The following tables set forth information about credit quality indicators.

The commercial loan portfolio is divided into investment grade and non-investment grade categories based on rating criteria largely consistent with those of the public rating agencies. Each customer in the portfolio is assigned an internal credit rating. These internal credit ratings are generally consistent with the ratings categories 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.

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 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 an average loan-to-value ratio of
64%
at origination. In the wealth management portfolio, less than
1%
of the mortgages were past due at
March 31, 2014
.
At
March 31, 2014
, the wealth management mortgage portfolio was comprised of the following geographic concentrations: New York -
21%
; California -
21%
; Massachusetts -
16%
; Florida -
8%
; and other -
34%
.
Other residential mortgages
The other residential mortgage portfolio primarily consists of 1-4 family residential mortgage loans and totaled $
1,346 million
at
March 31, 2014
and
$1,385 million
at
Dec. 31, 2013
. These loans are not typically correlated to external ratings. Included in this portfolio at
March 31, 2014
are
$394 million
of mortgage loans purchased in 2005, 2006 and the first quarter of 2007 that are predominantly prime mortgage loans, with a small portion of Alt-A loans. As of
March 31, 2014
, the purchased loans in this portfolio had a weighted-average loan-to-value ratio of
76%
at origination and
18%
of the serviced loan balance was at least 60 days delinquent. The properties securing the prime and Alt-A mortgage loans were located (in order of concentration) in California, Florida, Virginia, the tri-state area (New York, New Jersey and Connecticut) and Maryland.
Overdrafts
Overdrafts primarily relate to custody and securities clearance clients and totaled
$5,583 million
at
March 31, 2014
and
$3,715 million
at
Dec. 31, 2013
. Overdrafts occur on a daily basis in the custody and securities clearance business and are generally repaid within
two
business days.
Margin loans
We had
$16,430 million
of secured margin loans on our balance sheet at
March 31, 2014
compared with
$15,652 million
at
Dec. 31, 2013
. 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 and do not allocate any of our allowance for credit losses to margin loans.
Other loans
Other loans primarily includes loans to consumers that are fully collateralized with equities, mutual funds and fixed income securities.
Reverse repurchase agreements
Reverse repurchase agreements are transactions fully collateralized with high-quality liquid securities. These transactions carry minimal credit risk and therefore are not allocated an allowance for credit losses.

Seed capital and private equity investments valued using net asset value per share
In our Investment Management business, we manage investment assets, including equities, fixed income, money market and alternative investment funds for institutions and other investors. As part of that activity we make seed capital investments in certain funds. BNY Mellon also holds private equity investments, which consist of investments in private equity funds, mezzanine financings and direct equity investments. Seed capital and private equity investments are included in other assets. Consistent with our policy to focus on our core activities, we continue to reduce our exposure to private equity investments.
The fair value of these investments has been estimated using the net asset value (“NAV”) per share of BNY Mellon’s ownership interest in the funds. The table below presents information about BNY Mellon’s investments in seed capital and private equity investments.

Note 10 - Restructuring charges
Aggregate restructuring charges are included in M&I, litigation and restructuring charges on the income statement. Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2013, restructuring charges were recorded in the businesses. Prior to the fourth quarter of 2013, all restructuring charges were reported in the Other segment. Severance payments are primarily paid over the salary continuance period in accordance with the separation plan.
Operational Excellence Initiatives
In 2011, we announced our Operational Excellence Initiatives which include an expense reduction initiative impacting approximately
1,500
positions, as well as additional initiatives to transform operations, technology and corporate services that will increase productivity and reduce the growth rate of expenses. We recorded a pre-tax restructuring charge of
$107 million
related to the Operational Excellence Initiatives in 2011. This charge was comprised of
$78 million
of severance costs and
$29 million
primarily for operating lease-related items and consulting costs. In the
first quarter of 2014
, we recorded a net recovery of less than
$1 million

In accordance with ASU 2014-01, “Accounting for Investments in Qualified Affordable Housing Projects”, the investment amortization expense related to qualified affordable housing projects is presented as a component of provision for income taxes. Previously, the amortization expense was included in investment and other income. This change results in an increased income tax expense and effective tax rate however, it does not change the amount of income taxes paid. For additional information, see Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
As previously disclosed, on Nov. 10, 2009, BNY Mellon filed a petition with the U.S. Tax Court challenging the Internal Revenue Service’s (“IRS”) disallowance of certain foreign tax credits claimed for the 2001 and 2002 tax years. Trial was held from April 16 to May 17, 2012. On Feb. 11, 2013, BNY Mellon received an adverse decision from the U.S. Tax Court. On Sept. 23, 2013, the U.S. Tax Court amended its prior ruling to allow BNY Mellon an interest expense deduction and to exclude certain items from taxable income. The net impact of the court rulings for all years involved and related interest decreased after-tax income in 2013 by
$593 million
. The U.S. Tax Court ruling was finalized on Feb. 20, 2014. BNY Mellon appealed the decision to the Second Circuit Court of Appeals on March 5, 2014. See Note 18 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
Our total tax reserves as of
March 31, 2014
were
$869 million
compared with
$866 million
at
Dec. 31, 2013
. If these tax reserves were unnecessary,
$869 million

periods. We recognize accrued interest and penalties, if applicable, related to income taxes in income tax expense. Included in the balance sheet at
March 31, 2014
is accrued interest, where applicable, of
$204 million
. The additional tax expense related to interest for the three months ended
March 31, 2014
was
$1 million
compared with
$289 million
for the three months ended
March 31, 2013
.
It is reasonably possible the total reserve for uncertain tax positions could decrease within the next 12 months by an amount up to
$270 million
as a result of adjustments related to tax years that are still subject to examination.
Our federal income tax returns are closed for all periods through 2005. The 2006 year remains open to examination. The years 2007 and 2008 are also closed to further examination; however, one matter is before the IRS Appeals Division. The years 2009 and 2010 are no longer under examination, but remain open for carryback claims. Our New York State and New York City income tax returns are closed to examination through 2010. Our UK income tax returns are closed to examination through 2011.
Note 12 - Securitizations and variable interest entities
BNY Mellon’s VIEs generally include retail, institutional and alternative investment funds offered to its retail and institutional customers in which it acts as the fund’s investment manager. BNY Mellon earns management fees on these funds as well as performance fees in certain funds. It may also provide start-up capital in its new funds. These VIEs are included in the scope of ASU 2010-10 and are reviewed for consolidation based on the guidance in ASC 810, Consolidation.
BNY Mellon has other VIEs, including securitization trusts, which are no longer considered qualifying special purpose entities, and CLOs, in which BNY Mellon serves as the investment manager. In addition, we provide trust and custody services for a fee to entities sponsored by other corporations in which we have no other interest. These VIEs are evaluated under the guidance included in ASU 2009-17. BNY Mellon has
two
securitizations and several CLOs, which are assessed for consolidation in accordance with ASU 2009-17.
The following tables present the incremental assets and liabilities included in BNY Mellon’s consolidated financial statements, after applying intercompany eliminations, as of
March 31, 2014
and
Dec. 31, 2013
, based on the assessments performed in accordance with ASC 810 and ASU 2009-17.
The net assets of any consolidated VIE are solely available to settle the liabilities of the VIE and to settle any investors’ ownership liquidation requests, including any seed capital invested in the VIE by BNY Mellon.

Note 15 - Fair value measurement
The guidance related to “Fair Value Measurement” included in ASC 820 defines fair value 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 and establishes a framework for measuring fair value. It establishes a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date and expands the disclosures about instruments measured at fair value. ASC 820 requires consideration of a company’s own creditworthiness when valuing liabilities.
The standard provides a consistent definition of fair value, which focuses on exit price in an orderly transaction (that is, not a forced liquidation or distressed sale) between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. If there has been a significant decrease in the volume
and level of activity for the asset or liability, a change in valuation technique or the use of multiple valuation techniques may be appropriate. In such instances, determining the price at which willing market participants would transact at the measurement date under current market conditions depends on the facts and circumstances and requires the use of significant judgment. The objective is to determine from weighted indicators of fair value a reasonable point within the range that is most representative of fair value under current market conditions.
Determination of fair value
Following is a description of our valuation methodologies for assets and liabilities measured at fair value. We have established processes for determining fair values. Fair value is based upon quoted market prices in active markets, where available. For financial instruments where quotes from recent exchange transactions are not available, we determine fair value based on discounted cash
88
BNY Mellon
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(continued)
flow analysis, comparison to similar instruments, and the use of financial models. Discounted cash flow analysis is dependent upon estimated future cash flows and the level of interest rates. Model-based pricing uses inputs of observable prices, where available, for interest rates, foreign exchange rates, option volatilities and other factors. Models are benchmarked and validated by an independent internal risk management function. Our valuation process takes into consideration factors such as counterparty credit quality, liquidity, concentration concerns, and observability of model parameters. Valuation adjustments may be made to ensure that financial instruments are recorded at fair value.
Most derivative contracts are valued using internally developed models which are calibrated to observable market data and employ standard market pricing theory for their valuations. An initial “risk-neutral” valuation is performed on each position assuming time-discounting based on a AA credit curve. Then, to arrive at a fair value that incorporates counter-party credit risk, a credit adjustment is made to these results by discounting each trade’s expected exposures to the counterparty using the counterparty’s credit spreads, as implied by the credit default swap market. We also adjust expected liabilities to the counterparty using BNY Mellon’s
own credit spreads, as implied by the credit default swap market. Accordingly, the valuation of our derivative position is sensitive to the current changes in our own credit spreads as well as those of our counterparties.
In certain cases, recent prices may not be observable for instruments that trade in inactive or less active markets. Upon evaluating the uncertainty in valuing financial instruments subject to liquidity issues, we make an adjustment to their value. The determination of the liquidity adjustment includes the availability of external quotes, the time since the latest available quote and the price volatility of the instrument.
Certain parameters in some financial models are not directly observable and, therefore, are based on management’s estimates and judgments. These financial instruments are normally traded less actively. We apply valuation adjustments to mitigate the possibility of error and revision in the model based estimate value. Examples include products where parameters such as correlation and recovery rates are unobservable.
The methods described above for instruments that trade in inactive or less active markets may produce a current fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. We believe our methods of determining fair value are appropriate and consistent with other market participants. However, the use of different methodologies or different assumptions to value certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value.
Valuation hierarchy
ASC 820 established a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. The three levels are described below.
Level 1
: Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. Level 1 assets and liabilities include debt and equity securities and derivative financial instruments actively traded on exchanges and U.S. Treasury securities that are actively traded in highly liquid over-the-counter markets.
Level 2
: Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, for example, quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, and inputs that are observable or can be corroborated, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. Level 2 assets and liabilities include debt instruments that are traded less frequently than exchange-traded securities and derivative instruments whose model inputs are observable in the market or can be corroborated by market-observable data. Examples in this category are agency and non-agency mortgage-backed securities, corporate debt securities and over-the-counter derivative contracts.
Level 3
: Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. Examples in this category include certain private equity investments, derivative contracts that are highly structured or long-dated, and interests in certain securitized financial assets.
BNY Mellon
89
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(continued)
A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy.
Securities
Where quoted prices are available in an active market, we classify the securities within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. Securities include both long and short positions. Level 1 securities include highly liquid government bonds, money market funds, foreign covered bonds and exchange-traded equities.
If quoted market prices are not available, we estimate fair values using pricing models, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics or discounted cash flows. Examples of such instruments, which would generally be classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy, include agency and non-agency mortgage-backed securities, state and political subdivisions, commercial mortgage-backed securities, sovereign debt, corporate bonds and foreign covered bonds.
For securities where quotes from recent transactions are not available for identical securities, we
determine fair value primarily based on pricing sources with reasonable levels of price transparency that employ financial models or obtain comparison to similar instruments to arrive at “consensus” prices.
Specifically, the pricing sources obtain recent transactions for similar types of securities (e.g., vintage, position in the securitization structure) and ascertain variables such as discount rate and speed of prepayment for the types of transaction and apply such variables to similar types of bonds. We view these as observable transactions in the current marketplace and classify such securities as Level 2. Pricing sources discontinue pricing any specific security whenever they determine there is insufficient observable data to provide a good faith opinion on price.
In addition, we have significant investments in more actively traded agency RMBS and other types of securities such as sovereign debt. The pricing sources derive the prices for these securities largely from
quotes they obtain from
three
major inter-dealer brokers. The pricing sources receive their daily observed trade price and other information feeds from the inter-dealer brokers.
For securities with bond insurance, the financial strength of the insurance provider is analyzed and that information is included in the fair value assessment for such securities.
In certain cases where there is limited activity or less transparency around inputs to the valuation, we classify those securities in Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. Securities classified within Level 3 primarily include securities of state and political subdivisions and distressed debt securities.
At
March 31, 2014
, more than
99%
of our securities were valued by pricing sources with reasonable levels of price transparency. Less than
1%
of our securities were priced based on economic models and non-binding dealer quotes, and are included in Level 3 of the ASC 820 hierarchy.
Consolidated collateralized loan obligations
BNY Mellon values assets in consolidated CLOs using observable market prices observed from the secondary loan market. The returns to the note holders are solely dependent on the assets and accordingly equal the value of those assets. Based on the structure of the CLOs, the valuation of the assets is attributable to the senior note holders. Changes in the values of assets and liabilities are reflected in the income statement as investment and other income and interest of investment management fund note holders, respectively. Consolidated CLOs are generally classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.
Derivatives
We classify exchange-traded derivatives valued using quoted prices in Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. Examples include exchange-traded equity and foreign exchange options. Since few other classes of derivative contracts are listed on an exchange, most of our derivative positions are valued using internally developed models that use as their basis readily observable market parameters, and we classify them in Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. Such derivatives include swaps and options, foreign exchange spot and forward contracts and credit default swaps.
90
BNY Mellon
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(continued)
Derivatives valued using models with significant unobservable market parameters in markets that lack two-way flow are classified in Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. Examples include long-dated interest rate or currency swaps and options, where parameters may be unobservable for longer maturities; and certain products, where correlation risk is unobservable. The fair value of these derivatives compose approximately
1%
of our derivative financial instruments. Additional disclosures of derivative instruments are provided in Note 17 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Loans and unfunded lending-related commitments
Where quoted market prices are not available, we generally base the fair value of loans and unfunded lending-related commitments on observable market prices of similar instruments, including bonds, credit derivatives and loans with similar characteristics. If observable market prices are not available, we base the fair value on estimated cash flows adjusted for credit risk which are discounted using an interest rate appropriate for the maturity of the applicable loans or the unfunded lending-related commitments.
Unrealized gains and losses, if any, on unfunded lending-related commitments carried at fair value are classified in other assets and other liabilities, respectively. Loans and unfunded lending-related commitments carried at fair value are generally classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.
Seed capital
In our Investment Management business, we manage investment assets, including equities, fixed income, money market and alternative investment funds for institutions and other investors. As part of that activity, we make seed capital investments in certain funds. Seed capital is included in other assets. When applicable, we value seed capital based on the published NAV of the fund. We include funds in which ownership interests in the fund are publicly traded in an active market and institutional funds in which investors trade in and out daily in Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. We include open-end funds where investors are allowed to sell their ownership interest back to the fund less frequently than daily and where our interest in the fund contains no other rights or obligations in Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. However, we generally include
investments in funds that allow investors to sell their ownership interest back to the fund less frequently than monthly in Level 3, unless actual redemption prices are observable.
For other types of investments in funds, we consider all of the rights and obligations inherent in our ownership interest, including the reported NAV as well as other factors that affect the fair value of our interest in the fund. To the extent the NAV measurements reported for the investments are based on unobservable inputs or include other rights and obligations (e.g., obligation to meet cash calls), we generally classify them in Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.
Certain interests in securitizations
For certain interests in securitizations that are classified in securities available-for-sale, trading assets and long-term debt, we use discounted cash flow models, which generally include assumptions of projected finance charges related to the securitized assets, estimated net credit losses, prepayment assumptions and estimates of payments to third-party investors. When available, we compare our fair value estimates and assumptions to market activity and to the actual results of the securitized portfolio.
Private equity investments
Our Other segment includes holdings of nonpublic private equity investment through funds managed by third-party investment managers. We value private equity investments initially based upon the transaction price, which we subsequently adjust to reflect expected exit values as evidenced by financing and sale transactions with third parties or through ongoing reviews by the investment managers.
Private equity investments also include publicly held equity investments, generally obtained through the initial public offering of privately held equity investments. These equity investments are often held in a partnership structure. Publicly held investments are marked-to-market at the quoted public value less adjustments for regulatory or contractual sales restrictions or adjustments to reflect the difficulty in selling a partnership interest.
Discounts for restrictions are quantified by analyzing the length of the restriction period and the volatility of the equity security. Publicly held private equity

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. There were no material transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during the first quarter of 2014.

At March 31, 2014 and Dec. 31, 2013, foreign covered bonds and sovereign debt were included in Level 1 and Level 2 in the valuation hierarchy. All other assets in the table are Level 2 assets in the valuation hierarchy.
(b)
Previously included in the Grantor Trust. The Grantor Trust was dissolved in 2011.
Changes in Level 3 fair value measurements
Our classification of a financial instrument in Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy is based on the significance of the unobservable factors to the overall fair value measurement. However, these instruments generally include other observable components that are actively quoted or validated to third-party sources; accordingly, the gains and losses in the table below include changes in fair value due to observable parameters as well as the unobservable parameters in our valuation methodologies. We also frequently manage the risks of Level 3 financial instruments
using securities and derivatives positions that are Level 1 or 2 instruments which are not included in the table; accordingly, the gains or losses below do not reflect the effect of our risk management activities related to the Level 3 instruments.
The Company has a Level 3 Pricing Committee which evaluates the valuation techniques used in determining the fair value of Level 3 assets and liabilities.
The tables below include a roll forward of the balance sheet amounts for the quarters ended

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(continued)
Estimated fair value of financial instruments
The carrying amounts of our financial instruments (i.e., monetary assets and liabilities) are determined under different accounting methods - see Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2013 Annual Report. The following disclosure discusses these instruments on a uniform fair value basis. However, active markets do not exist for a significant portion of these instruments. For financial instruments where quoted prices from identical assets and liabilities in active markets do not exist, we determine fair value based on discounted cash flow analysis and comparison to similar instruments. Discounted cash flow analysis is dependent upon estimated future cash flows and the level of interest rates. Other judgments would result in different fair values. The assumptions used at
March 31, 2014
and
Dec. 31, 2013
include discount rates ranging principally from
0.65%
to
3.74%
. The fair value information supplements the basic financial statements and other traditional financial data presented throughout this report.
A summary of the practices used for determining fair value and the respective level in the valuation hierarchy for financial assets and liabilities not recorded at fair value follows.
Interest-bearing deposits with the Federal Reserve and other central banks and interest-bearing deposits with banks
The estimated fair value of interest-bearing deposits with the Federal Reserve and other central banks is equal to the book value as these interest-bearing deposits are generally considered cash equivalents. These instruments are classified as Level 2 within the valuation hierarchy. The estimated fair value of interest-bearing deposits with banks is generally determined using discounted cash flows and duration of the instrument to maturity. The primary inputs used to value these transactions are interest rates based on current LIBOR market rates and time to maturity. Interest-bearing deposits with banks are classified as Level 2 within the valuation hierarchy.
Federal funds sold and securities purchased under resale agreements
The estimated fair value of federal funds sold and securities purchased under resale agreements is based on inputs such as interest rates and tenors. Federal
funds sold and securities purchased under resale agreements are classified as Level 2 within the valuation hierarchy.
Securities held-to-maturity
Where quoted prices are available in an active market for identical assets and liabilities, we classify the securities as Level 1 within the valuation hierarchy. Securities are defined as both long and short positions. Level 1 securities include U.S. Treasury securities.
If quoted market prices are not available for identical assets and liabilities, we estimate fair value using pricing models, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics or discounted cash flows. Examples of such instruments, which would generally be classified as Level 2 within the valuation hierarchy, include certain agency and non-agency mortgage-backed securities, commercial mortgage-backed securities and state and political subdivision securities. For securities where quotes from active markets are not available for identical securities, we determine fair value primarily based on pricing sources with reasonable levels of price transparency that employ financial models or obtain comparison to similar instruments to arrive at “consensus” prices.
Specifically, the pricing sources obtain active market prices for similar types of securities (e.g., vintage, position in the securitization structure) and ascertain variables such as discount rate and speed of prepayment for the types of transaction and apply such variables to similar types of bonds. We view these as observable transactions in the current marketplace and classify such securities as Level 2 within the valuation hierarchy.
Loans
For residential mortgage loans, fair value is estimated using discounted cash flow analysis, adjusting where appropriate for prepayment estimates, using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms and maturities to borrowers. The estimated fair value of margin loans and overdrafts is equal to the book value due to the short-term nature of these assets. The estimated fair value of other types of loans, including our term loan program, is determined using discounted cash flows. Inputs include current LIBOR market rates adjusted for credit spreads.
100
BNY Mellon
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(continued)
These loans are generally classified as Level 2 within the valuation hierarchy.
Other financial assets
Other financial assets include cash, the Federal Reserve Bank stock and accrued interest receivable. Cash is classified as Level 1 within the valuation hierarchy. The Federal Reserve Bank stock is not redeemable or transferable. The estimated fair value of the Federal Reserve Bank stock is based on the issue price and is classified as Level 2 within the valuation hierarchy. Accrued interest receivable is generally short-term. As a result, book value is considered to equal fair value. Accrued interest receivable is included as Level 2 within the valuation hierarchy.
Noninterest-bearing and interest-bearing deposits
Interest-bearing deposits are comprised of money market rate and demand deposits, savings deposits and time deposits. Except for time deposits, book value is considered to equal fair value for these deposits due to their short duration to maturity or payable on demand feature. The fair value of interest-bearing time deposits is determined using discounted cash flow analysis. Inputs primarily consist of current LIBOR market rates and time to maturity. For all noninterest-bearing deposits, book value is considered to equal fair value as a result of the short duration of the deposit. Interest-bearing and noninterest-bearing deposits are classified as Level 2 within the valuation hierarchy.
Federal funds purchased and securities sold under repurchase agreements
The estimated fair value of federal funds purchased and securities sold under repurchase agreements is based on inputs such as interest rates and tenors. Federal funds purchased and securities sold under repurchase agreements are classified as Level 2 within the valuation hierarchy.
Payables to customers and broker-dealers
The estimated fair value of payables to customers and broker-dealers is equal to the book value, due to the demand feature of the payables to customers and broker-dealers, and are classified as Level 2 within the valuation hierarchy.
Borrowings
Borrowings primarily consist of overdrafts of subcustodian account balances in our Investment Services businesses, commercial paper and accrued interest payable. The estimated fair value of overdrafts of subcustodian account balances in our Investment Services businesses is considered to equal book value as a result of the short duration of the overdrafts. Overdrafts are typically repaid within
two days
. The estimated fair value of our commercial paper is based on discount and duration of the commercial paper. Our commercial paper matures within
397 days
from date of issue and is not redeemable prior to maturity or subject to voluntary prepayment. Our commercial paper is included in Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. Accrued interest payable is generally short-term. As a result, book value is considered to equal fair value. Accrued interest payable is included as Level 2 within the valuation hierarchy.
Long-term debt
The estimated fair value of long-term debt is based on current rates for instruments of the same remaining maturity or quoted market prices for the same or similar issues. Long-term debt is classified as Level 2 within the valuation hierarchy.
The following tables present the estimated fair value and the carrying amount of financial instruments not carried at fair value on the consolidated balance sheet at
March 31, 2014
and
Dec. 31, 2013

BNY Mellon values assets in consolidated CLOs using observable market prices observed from the secondary loan market. The returns to the note holders are solely dependent on the assets and accordingly equal the value of those assets. Mark-to-market valuation best reflects the limited interest BNY Mellon has in the economic performance of the consolidated CLOs. Changes in the values of assets and liabilities are reflected in the income statement as investment income of consolidated investment management funds.
We have elected the fair value option on
$240 million
of long-term debt in connection with ASC 810. The fair value of this long-term debt was
$329 million
at
March 31, 2014
and
$321 million
at Dec. 31, 2013. The long-term debt is valued using observable market inputs and is included in Level 2 of the ASC 820 hierarchy.
The following table presents the changes in fair value of the long-term debt included in foreign exchange and other trading revenue in the consolidated income statement.

The change in fair value of the long-term debt is approximately offset by an economic hedge included in foreign exchange and other trading revenue.
Note 17 - 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-maker for our customers and facilitating customer trades. Positions managed for our own account are immaterial to our foreign exchange and other trading revenue and to our overall results of operations.
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
no
counterparty default losses in
the
first quarter of 2014
or 2013.
Hedging derivatives
We utilize interest rate swap agreements to manage our exposure to interest rate fluctuations. For hedges of available-for-sale investment securities, deposits and long-term debt, the hedge documentation specifies the terms of the hedged items and the interest rate swaps and indicates that the derivative is hedging a fixed rate item and is a fair value hedge, that the hedge exposure is to the changes in the fair value of the hedged item due to changes in benchmark interest rates, and that the strategy is to eliminate fair value variability by converting fixed-rate interest payments to LIBOR.
The available-for-sale investment securities hedged consist of sovereign debt, U.S. Treasury bonds,
BNY Mellon
103
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(continued)
agency commercial mortgage-backed securities and covered bonds that had original maturities of
30
years or less at initial purchase. The swaps on all of these investment securities are not callable. All of these securities are hedged with “pay fixed rate, receive variable rate” swaps of similar maturity, repricing and fixed rate coupon. At
March 31, 2014
,
$6.6 billion
face amount of securities were hedged with interest rate swaps that had notional values of
$6.8 billion
.
The fixed rate long-term debt instruments hedged generally have original maturities of
five
to
30
years. We issue both callable and non-callable debt. The non-callable debt is hedged with “receive fixed rate, pay variable rate” swaps with similar maturity, repricing and fixed rate coupon. Callable debt is hedged with callable swaps where the call dates of the swaps exactly match the call dates of the debt. At
March 31, 2014
,
$14.7 billion
par value of debt was hedged with interest rate swaps that had notional values of
$14.7 billion
.
In addition, we enter into foreign exchange hedges. We use forward foreign exchange contracts with maturities of nine months or less to hedge our British Pound, Euro, Hong Kong Dollar, Indian Rupee and Singapore Dollar foreign exchange exposure with respect to foreign currency forecasted revenue and expense transactions in entities that have the U.S. dollar as their functional currency. As of
March 31, 2014
, the hedged forecasted foreign currency transactions and designated forward foreign exchange contract hedges were
$280 million
(notional), with a pre-tax gain of
$8 million
recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income. This gain will be reclassified to income or expense over the next
nine
months.
We use forward foreign exchange contracts with remaining maturities of nine months or less as hedges against our foreign exchange exposure to Australian Dollar, Euro and Swiss Franc with respect to interest-bearing deposits with banks and their associated forecasted interest revenue. These hedges are designated as cash flow hedges. These hedges are effected such that their maturities and notional values match those of the deposits with banks. As of
March 31, 2014
, the hedged interest-bearing deposits
with banks and their designated forward foreign exchange contract hedges were
$1.5 billion
(notional), with a pre-tax gain of less than
$1 million
recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income. This gain will be reclassified to net interest revenue over the next
nine
months.
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
two
years. The derivatives employed are designated as hedges of changes in value of our foreign investments due to exchange rates. Changes in the value of the forward foreign exchange contracts offset the changes in value of the foreign investments due to changes in foreign exchange rates. The change in fair market value of these forward foreign exchange contracts is deferred and reported within accumulated translation adjustments in shareholders’ equity, net of tax. At
March 31, 2014
, forward foreign exchange contracts with notional amounts totaling
$6.1 billion
were designated as hedges.
In addition to forward foreign exchange contracts, we also designate non-derivative financial instruments as hedges of our net investments in foreign subsidiaries. Those non-derivative financial instruments designated as hedges of our net investments in foreign subsidiaries were all long-term liabilities of BNY Mellon in various currencies, and, at
March 31, 2014
, had a combined U.S. dollar equivalent value of
$544 million
.

Trading activities (including trading derivatives)
We manage trading risk through a system of position limits, a VaR methodology based on Monte Carlo simulations, stop loss advisory triggers, and other market sensitivity measures. Risk is monitored and reported to senior management by a separate unit 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 for most instruments, utilizes a
99%
confidence level, and incorporates the non-linear characteristics of options. The VaR model is one of several statistical models used to develop economic capital results, which is allocated to lines of business for computing risk-adjusted performance.
As the VaR methodology does not evaluate risk attributable to extraordinary financial, economic or other occurrences, 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 historic market events are also performed. Stress tests, by their design, incorporate the impact of reduced liquidity and the breakdown of observed correlations. The results of these stress tests are reviewed weekly with senior management.
Revenue from foreign exchange and other trading included the following:

Foreign exchange includes income from purchasing and selling foreign currencies and currency forwards, futures and options. Fixed income reflects results from futures and forward contracts, interest rate swaps, structured foreign currency swaps, options, and fixed income securities. Equity/Other primarily includes revenue from equity securities and equity derivatives.
Counterparty credit risk and collateral
We assess 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 or highly liquid government securities. Collateral requirements are monitored and adjusted daily.
Additional disclosures concerning derivative financial instruments are provided in Note 15 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Disclosure of contingent features in over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivative instruments
Certain OTC derivative contracts and/or collateral agreements of The Bank of New York Mellon, our largest banking subsidiary and the subsidiary through which BNY Mellon enters into the substantial majority of all of its OTC derivative contracts and/or collateral agreements, contain provisions that may require us to take certain actions if The Bank of New York Mellon’s public debt rating fell to a certain level. Early termination provisions, or “close-out” agreements, in those contracts could trigger immediate payment of outstanding contracts that are
106
BNY Mellon
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(continued)
in net liability positions. Certain collateral agreements would require The Bank of New York Mellon to immediately post additional collateral to cover some or all of The Bank of New York Mellon’s liabilities to a counterparty.
The following table shows the fair value of contracts falling under early termination provisions that were in net liability positions as of
March 31, 2014
for three key ratings triggers:

The amounts represent potential total close-out values if The Bank of New York Mellon’s rating were to immediately drop to the indicated levels.
The aggregated fair value of contracts impacting potential trade close-out amounts and collateral obligations can fluctuate from quarter to quarter due to changes in market conditions, changes in the composition of counterparty trades, new business, or changes to the agreement definitions establishing close-out or collateral obligations.
Additionally, if The Bank of New York Mellon’s debt rating had fallen below investment grade on
March 31, 2014
, existing collateral arrangements would have required us to have posted an additional
$465 million
of collateral.
Offsetting assets and liabilities
The following tables present derivative instruments and financial instruments that are either subject to an enforceable netting agreement or offset by collateral arrangements. There were no derivative instruments or financial instruments subject to a netting agreement for which we are not currently netting.

Note 18 - Commitments and contingent liabilities
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 risk not recognized in the balance sheet. Our off-balance sheet risks are managed and monitored in manners similar to those used for on-balance sheet risks. Significant industry concentrations related to credit exposure at
March 31, 2014
are disclosed in the financial institutions portfolio exposure table and the commercial portfolio exposure table below.

Dec. 31, 2013
.
Included in lending commitments are facilities that provide liquidity for variable rate tax-exempt securities wrapped by monoline insurers. The credit approval for these facilities is based on an assessment of the underlying tax-exempt issuer and considers factors other than the financial strength of the monoline insurer.
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 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:
$10.2 billion
in less than one year,
$24.2 billion
in one to five years and
$0.4 billion
over five years.
Standby letters of credit (“SBLC”) principally support corporate obligations. As shown in the off-balance sheet credit risks table, the maximum potential exposure of SBLCs was
$6.9 billion
at
March 31, 2014
and
$6.7 billion
at
Dec. 31, 2013
, and includes
$489 million
and
$418 million
that were collateralized with cash and securities at
March 31, 2014
and
Dec. 31, 2013
, respectively. At
March 31, 2014
,
$3.9 billion
of the SBLCs will expire within one year and
$3.0 billion
in one to five years.
We must recognize, at the inception of standby letters of credit and foreign and other guarantees, a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken in
issuing the guarantee. As required by ASC 460
Guarantees
, 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 these commitments and SBLCs, if any, is included in the allowance for lending-related commitments. The allowance for lending-related commitments was
$128 million
at
March 31, 2014
and
$134 million
at
Dec. 31, 2013
.
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
$280 million
at
March 31, 2014
compared with
$310 million
at
Dec. 31, 2013
.
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, which normally matures in less than
90
days.
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
BNY Mellon
109
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(continued)
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 were secured by collateral of
$286 billion
at
March 31, 2014
and
$252 billion
at
Dec. 31, 2013
.
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
March 31, 2014
and
Dec. 31, 2013
,
$65 billion
and
$60 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
$68 billion
and
$64 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.
We expect many of these guarantees 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.
Exposure for certain administrative errors
In connection with certain funds that we manage, we may be liable to the funds for certain administrative errors. The errors relate to questions about the resident status of certain offshore tax exempt funds, potentially exposing the Company to a tax liability related to the funds’ earnings. The Company is in discussions with tax authorities regarding the funds. In addition to amounts accrued, we believe it is reasonably possible that we could have a potential additional exposure of approximately
$100 million
.
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 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
March 31, 2014
and
Dec. 31, 2013
, we have not recorded any material liabilities under these arrangements.
Clearing and Settlement Exchanges
We are a minority 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 or to provide financial 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. In addition, any ancillary costs that occur as a result of any mark-to-market loss cannot be quantified. At
March 31, 2014
and
Dec. 31, 2013
, we have not recorded any material liabilities under these arrangements.
Legal proceedings
In the ordinary course of business, BNY Mellon and its subsidiaries are routinely named as defendants in or made parties to pending and potential legal actions and regulatory matters. Claims for significant monetary damages are often asserted in many of these legal actions, while claims for disgorgement, penalties and/or other remedial sanctions may be sought in regulatory matters. It is inherently difficult
110
BNY Mellon
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(continued)
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 or settlements, 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 net income 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, BNY Mellon establishes 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. BNY Mellon will continue to 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, BNY Mellon does not establish an accrual and the matter will continue to be monitored for any developments that would make the loss contingency both probable and reasonably estimable. BNY Mellon believes that its 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 net income in a given period.
For certain of those matters described herein 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 where BNY Mellon is able to estimate a reasonably possible loss, the aggregate range of such reasonably
possible loss is up to
$745 million
in excess of the accrued liability (if any) related to those matters.
The following describes certain judicial, regulatory and arbitration proceedings involving BNY Mellon:
Sentinel Matters
As previously disclosed, on Jan. 18, 2008, The Bank of New York Mellon filed a proof of claim in the Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceeding of Sentinel Management Group, Inc. (“Sentinel”) pending in federal court in the Northern District of Illinois, seeking to recover approximately
$312 million
loaned to Sentinel and secured by securities and cash in an account maintained by Sentinel at The Bank of New York Mellon. On March 3, 2008, the bankruptcy trustee filed an adversary complaint against The Bank of New York Mellon seeking to disallow The Bank of New York Mellon’s claim and seeking damages for allegedly aiding and abetting Sentinel insiders in misappropriating customer assets and improperly using those assets as collateral for the loan. In a decision dated Nov. 3, 2010, the court found for The Bank of New York Mellon and against the bankruptcy trustee, holding that The Bank of New York Mellon’s loan to Sentinel is valid, fully secured and not subject to equitable subordination. The bankruptcy trustee appealed this decision, and on Aug. 9, 2012, the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit issued a decision affirming the trial court’s judgment. On Sept. 7, 2012, the bankruptcy trustee filed a petition for rehearing on the fraudulent transfer portion of the opinion and, on Nov. 30, 2012, the Court of Appeals withdrew its opinion and vacated its judgment. On Aug. 26, 2013, the Court of Appeals reversed its own prior decision and the district court’s decision with respect to the bankruptcy trustee’s fraudulent transfer and equitable subordination claims and remanded the case to the district court for further proceedings. See Note 5 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
As previously disclosed, in November 2009, the Division of Enforcement of the U.S. Commodities Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) indicated that it is considering a recommendation to the CFTC that it file a civil enforcement action against The Bank of New York Mellon for possible violations of the Commodity Exchange Act and CFTC regulations in connection with its relationship to Sentinel. The Bank of New York Mellon responded in writing to the CFTC on Jan. 29, 2010 and provided an explanation as to why an enforcement action is unwarranted.

Securities Lending Matters
As previously disclosed, BNY Mellon or its affiliates have been named as defendants in a number of lawsuits initiated by participants in BNY Mellon’s securities lending program, which is a part of BNY Mellon’s Investment Services business. The lawsuits were filed on various dates from 2009 to 2013,
and are currently pending in courts in North Carolina and Illinois. The complaints assert contractual, statutory, and common law claims, including claims for negligence and breach of fiduciary duty.
The plaintiffs allege losses in connection with the investment of securities lending collateral in Lehman Brothers Holdings, Inc., and seek damages as to those losses.
Foreign Exchange Matters
As previously disclosed, beginning in December 2009, government authorities have been conducting inquiries seeking information relating primarily to standing instruction foreign exchange transactions in connection with custody services BNY Mellon provides to public pension plans and certain other custody clients. BNY Mellon is cooperating with these inquiries.
In addition, in early 2011, as previously disclosed, the Virginia Attorney General’s Office and the Florida Attorney General’s Office each intervened in a
qui tam
lawsuit pending in its jurisdiction, and, on Aug. 11, 2011, filed superseding complaints. On Nov. 9, 2012, the Virginia court, which had previously dismissed all of the claims against BNY Mellon, dismissed the Virginia lawsuit with prejudice by agreement of the parties. On Nov. 18, 2013, the Florida Attorney General’s Office dismissed the Florida lawsuit with prejudice by agreement of the parties. On Oct. 4, 2011, the New York Attorney General’s Office, the New York City Comptroller and various city pension and benefit funds filed a lawsuit asserting, claims under the Martin Act and state and city false claims acts.
On Aug. 5, 2013, the court dismissed the false claims act claims, and certain plaintiffs have since filed a notice of appeal.
Also, on Oct. 4, 2011, the United States Department of Justice (“DOJ”) filed a civil lawsuit seeking civil penalties under 12 U.S.C. Section 1833a and injunctive relief under 18 U.S.C. Section 1345 based on alleged ongoing violations of 18 U.S.C. Sections 1341 and 1343 (mail and wire fraud). On Jan. 17, 2012, the court approved a partial settlement resolving the DOJ’s claim for injunctive relief. In October 2011, several public pension funds in the state of California
purported to intervene in a
qui tam
lawsuit that was removed to federal district court in California. On March 30, 2012, the court dismissed certain of plaintiffs’ claims, including all claims under the California False Claims Act. Certain plaintiffs refiled their claims and, on May 1, 2014, the court again dismissed the California False Claims Act claims, along with certain other claims. On Oct. 26, 2011, the Massachusetts Securities Division filed an Administrative Complaint against BNY Mellon
, but closed the matter on Jan. 30, 2014 by agreement of the parties.
BNY Mellon has also been named as a defendant in several putative class action federal lawsuits filed on various dates in 2011 and 2012. The complaints, which assert claims including breach of contract and ERISA and securities laws violations, all allege that the prices BNY Mellon charged for standing instruction foreign exchange transactions executed in connection with custody services provided by BNY Mellon were improper. In addition, BNY Mellon has been named as a nominal defendant in several derivative lawsuits filed in 2011 and 2012 in state and federal court in New York.
On July 2, 2013, the court in the consolidated federal derivative action dismissed all of plaintiffs’ claims, and plaintiffs have appealed that decision. On Oct. 1, 2013, the court in the consolidated state derivative action dismissed all of plaintiffs’ claims, and one of the plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal.
BNY Mellon was also named in a
qui tam
lawsuit filed on May 22, 2012 in Massachusetts state court,
but the court dismissed all of plaintiff’s claims on Sept. 10, 2013.
All of the pending lawsuits are currently in discovery. To the extent the lawsuits are pending in federal court, they are being coordinated for pre-trial purposes in federal court in New York.
Tax Litigation
As previously disclosed, on Aug. 17, 2009, BNY Mellon received a Statutory Notice of Deficiency disallowing tax benefits for the 2001 and 2002 tax years in connection with a 2001 transaction that involved the payment of UK corporate income taxes that were credited against BNY Mellon’s U.S. corporate income tax liability. On Nov. 10, 2009, BNY Mellon filed a petition with the U.S. Tax Court contesting the disallowance of the benefits. Following a trial, the Tax Court upheld the IRS’s Notice of Deficiency and disallowed BNY Mellon’s tax credits and associated transaction costs on Feb. 11, 2013.
On Sept. 23, 2013, the Tax Court issued a
112
BNY Mellon
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(continued)
supplemental opinion, partially reducing the tax implications to BNY Mellon of its earlier decision. The Tax Court entered a decision formally implementing its prior rulings on Feb. 20, 2014. BNY Mellon appealed the decision to the Second Circuit Court of Appeals on March 5, 2014. See Note 11 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
Mortgage-Securitization Trusts Proceeding
As previously disclosed, The Bank of New York Mellon as trustee is the petitioner in a legal proceeding filed in New York State Supreme Court, New York County on June 29, 2011, seeking approval of a proposed settlement involving Bank of America Corporation and bondholders in certain Countrywide residential mortgage-securitization
trusts. The New York and Delaware Attorneys General have intervened in this proceeding. The trial in this matter ended on Nov. 21, 2013. On Jan. 31, 2014, the court issued its decision approving the settlement except to the extent that it releases loan modification claims. The court approved all the other terms of the settlement. On Feb. 21, 2014, The Bank of New York Mellon appealed the court’s decision to exempt loan modification claims from the settlement approval and several objectors to the settlement cross-appealed.
Matters Related to R. Allen Stanford
In late December 2005, Pershing LLC 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 International Bank (“SIB”), also controlled by Stanford, issued certificates of deposit (“CDs”). Some investors allegedly wired funds from their SGC accounts to purchase CDs. In 2009, the SEC 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
five
pending lawsuits against Pershing in Texas. In addition, alleged purchasers have filed
thirty-three
FINRA arbitration claims against Pershing in Texas, Florida, Louisiana, Tennessee, New York, Arkansas, North Carolina and Georgia. The purchasers allege that Pershing, as SGC’s clearing firm, assisted Stanford in a fraudulent scheme, and assert contractual, statutory and common law claims.
Note 19 - Lines of businesses
We have an internal information system that produces performance data along product and services lines for our
two
principal businesses 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 used for consolidated financial reporting. These measurement principles are designed so that reported results of the businesses will track their economic performance.
Business results are subject to reclassification when organizational changes are made or whenever improvements are made in the measurement principles. On Sept. 27, 2013, Newton Management Limited, together with Newton Investment Management Limited, an investment boutique of BNY Mellon, sold Newton’s private client business. In the first quarter of 2014, we reclassified the results of Newton’s private client business from the Investment Management business to the Other segment. The reclassifications did not impact consolidated results. All prior periods have been restated.
In addition, prior period consolidated and Other segment results have been restated to reflect the retrospective application of adopting accounting guidance related to our investments in qualified affordable housing projects (ASU 2014-01). See Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
The accounting policies of the businesses are the same as those described in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2013 Annual Report.

Business exits
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. 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 allocated to 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.
•
Incentive expense related to restricted stock and certain corporate overhead charges are allocated to the businesses.
•
Support and other indirect expenses are allocated to businesses based on internally-developed methodologies.
•
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 investment 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 included in the Other segment.
•
Client deposits serve as the primary funding source for our investment securities portfolio. We typically allocate all interest revenue to the businesses generating the deposits. Accordingly, accretion related to the portion of the investment securities portfolio restructured in 2009 has been included in the results of the businesses.
•
M&I expense is a corporate level item and is recorded in the Other segment.
•
Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2013, restructuring charges were recorded in the businesses. Prior to the fourth quarter of 2013, restructuring charges were reported in the Other segment.
•
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.
As previously disclosed, we reviewed our process for the reporting of information in our public filings and we have instituted ongoing enhancements to the data collection processes and systems relating to AUC/A and other information in our public filings.
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 controls over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act during the
first quarter of 2014
that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
