    --  Total revenue of $3.8 billion, increased 2% on both a GAAP and adjusted
        basis (Non-GAAP) (a).
        --  Investment services fees increased 4% reflecting higher money market
            fees.
        --  Investment management and performance fees decreased 2% due to the
            unfavorable impact of a stronger U.S. dollar (principally versus the
            British pound) and lower performance fees, partially offset by
            higher market values and money market fees.
        --  Foreign exchange revenue increased 6% reflecting higher volatility.
        --  Investment and other income decreased $23 million driven by lower
            other income related to termination fees in our clearing business
            recorded in 4Q15.
        --  Net interest revenue increased $71 million driven by the increase in
            interest rates, impact of interest rate hedging activities and
            premium amortization adjustments, partially offset by lower
            interest-earning assets.
    --  The provision for credit losses was $7 million.
    --  Noninterest expense of $2.6 billion, decreased 2% on both a GAAP and
        adjusted basis (Non-GAAP) (a). The decrease reflects lower staff expense

        benefits and severance expense.

    --  Assets under custody and/or administration ("AUC/A") and Assets under
        management ("AUM")
        --  AUC/A of $29.9 trillion increased 3% reflecting higher market
            values, offset by the unfavorable impact of a stronger U.S. dollar.

                4Q16.
        --  AUM of $1.65 trillion increased 1% reflecting higher market values
            offset by the unfavorable impact of a stronger U.S. dollar
            (principally versus the British pound).
            --  Net long-term outflows of $11 billion in 4Q16 were a combination
                of $10 billion of outflows from actively managed strategies and
                $1 billion of outflows from index strategies.

KEY POINTS


    --  Asset servicing fees were $1.1 billion, an increase of 3%
        year-over-year.  The year-over-year increase primarily reflects higher
        money market fees, net new business and higher equity market values,
        partially offset by the unfavorable impact of a stronger U.S. dollar and
        the impact of downsizing of the UK retail transfer agency business.
    --  Clearing services fees were $355 million, an increase of 5%
        year-over-year and 2% sequentially.  Both increases were primarily
        driven by higher money market fees.  The year-over-year increase was
        partially offset by the impact of previously disclosed lost business.
    --  Issuer services fees were $211 million, an increase of 6% year-over-year
        and a decrease of 37% sequentially.  The year-over-year increase
        primarily reflects higher fees in Depositary Receipts and higher money
        market fees in Corporate Trust.  The sequential decrease primarily
        reflects seasonality in Depositary Receipts.
    --  Treasury services fees were $140 million, an increase of 2% both
        year-over-year and sequentially.  Both increases primarily resulted from
        higher payment volumes.  The year-over-year increase was partially
        offset by higher compensating balance credits provided to clients, which
        reduces fee revenue and increases net interest revenue.
    --  Investment management and performance fees were $848 million, a decrease
        of 2% year-over-year and 1% sequentially.  The year-over-year decrease
        primarily reflects the unfavorable impact of a stronger U.S. dollar
        (principally versus the British pound) and lower performance fees,
        partially offset by higher market values and money market fees.  The
        sequential decrease primarily reflects outflows of assets under
        management, lower fixed income market values and money market fees,
        partially offset by higher performance fees.

Foreign exchange and other trading revenue totaled $161 million in 4Q16 compared with $173 million in 4Q15 and $183 million in 3Q16. In 4Q16, foreign exchange revenue totaled $175 million, an increase of 6% year-over-year, primarily reflecting higher volatility.

Other trading losses were $14 million in 4Q16, compared with other trading revenue of $8 million in both 4Q15 and 3Q16. Both decreases primarily reflect the impact of interest rate hedging activities, which are offset in net interest revenue.




    --  Financing-related fees were $50 million in 4Q16, compared with $51
        million in 4Q15 and $58 million in 3Q16.  The sequential decrease
        primarily reflects lower underwriting fees.
    --  Distribution and servicing fees were $41 million in 4Q16, compared with
        $41 million in 4Q15 and $43 million in 3Q16.  Year-over-year, higher
        money market fees were offset by fees paid to introducing brokers.

    (a)                 Excludes the gain (loss) on seed
                        capital investments in consolidated
                        investment management funds which
                        are reflected in operations of
                        consolidated investment management
                        funds, net of noncontrolling
                        interests.  The gain on seed capital
                        investments in consolidated
                        investment management funds was $1
                        million in 4Q16, $8 million in 3Q16,
                        $6 million in 2Q16, $1 million in
                        1Q16 and $11 million in 4Q15.

Investment and other income was $70 million in 4Q16, compared with $93 million in 4Q15 and $92 million in 3Q16. The year-over-year decrease primarily reflects lower other income related to termination fees in our clearing business recorded in 4Q15, partially offset by higher income from corporate/bank-owned life insurance. The year-over-year and sequential decreases in other income also reflect the impact of increased investments in renewable energy, which generate losses in other revenue that are more than offset by tax benefits recorded to the provision for income taxes.

KEY POINTS


    --  Net interest revenue totaled $831 million in 4Q16, an increase of $71
        million year-over-year and $57 million sequentially.  The year-over-year
        increase was primarily driven by the increase in interest rates,
        partially offset by lower interest-earning assets.  Both increases
        reflect the impact of interest rate hedging activities, which positively
        impacted 4Q16 by approximately $25 million.  Substantially all of this
        impact was offset in foreign exchange and other trading revenue.
    --  Effective Oct. 1, 2016, we changed our accounting method for the
        amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts on certain
        mortgage-backed securities from the prepayment method (also referred to
        as the retrospective method) to the contractual method.  Net interest
        revenue for 4Q16 was positively adjusted approximately $15 million as a
        result of this change.  Prior periods were not adjusted as the impacts
        were not material.  Net interest revenue for 4Q16 would have been higher
        had we continued to use the prepayment method.
    --  The $25 million impact of interest rate hedging activities and the $15
        million premium amortization adjustment positively impacted the 4Q16 net
        interest margin by 5 basis points.

KEY POINTS


    --  Total noninterest expense decreased 2% year-over-year and decreased
        slightly sequentially.  Total noninterest expense excluding amortization
        of intangible assets and M&I, litigation and restructuring charges
        (Non-GAAP) decreased 2% year-over-year and was flat sequentially.
    --  The year-over-year decrease primarily reflects lower staff expense and
        M&I, litigation and restructuring charges, partially offset by higher
        other and software and equipment expenses.  The decrease in staff
        expense year-over-year was primarily driven by the favorable impact of a
        stronger U.S. dollar, lower employee benefits and severance expense. 
        The increase in other expense primarily reflects a downward adjustment
        in bank assessment charges recorded in 4Q15.
    --  The sequential decrease primarily reflects lower staff expense and M&I,
        litigation and restructuring charges, partially offset by higher
        professional, legal and other purchased services, software and equipment
        and business development expenses.  The decrease in staff expense was
        primarily due to lower incentives and severance expenses.  The increase
        in professional, legal and other purchased services primarily reflects
        higher regulatory compliance costs.

Nonperforming assets were $107 million at Dec. 31, 2016, a decrease of $2 million compared with Sept. 30, 2016, and a decrease of $185 million compared with Dec. 31, 2015. The decrease compared with Dec. 31, 2015 primarily reflects the receipt of trust assets from the bankruptcy proceeding of Sentinel.

    (a)                 Preliminary.

    (b)                  Reflects transitional
                         adjustments to CET1, Tier 1
                         capital and Tier 2 capital
                         required under the U.S. capital
                         rules.

    (c)                 Estimated.

BNY Mellon has presented its estimated fully phased-in CET1 and other risk-based capital ratios and the fully phased-in SLR based on its interpretation of the U.S. capital rules, which are being gradually phased-in over a multi-year period, and on the application of such rules to BNY Mellon's businesses as currently conducted. Management views the estimated fully phased-in CET1 and other risk-based capital ratios and fully phased-in SLR as key measures in monitoring BNY Mellon's capital position and progress against future regulatory capital standards. Additionally, the presentation of the estimated fully phased-in CET1 and other risk-based capital ratios and fully phased-in SLR are intended to allow investors to compare these ratios with estimates presented by other companies.

Our capital and liquidity ratios are necessarily subject to, among other things, BNY Mellon's further review of applicable rules, anticipated compliance with all necessary enhancements to model calibration, approval by regulators of certain models used as part of RWA calculations, other refinements, further implementation guidance from regulators, market practices and standards and any changes BNY Mellon may make to its businesses. Consequently, our capital and liquidity ratios remain subject to ongoing review and revision and may change based on these factors.

                          minimum required SLR is 3% and
                          there is a 2% buffer, in addition

Liquidity Coverage Ratio ("LCR")

The U.S. LCR rules became effective Jan. 1, 2015 and require BNY Mellon to meet an LCR of 100% when fully phased-in on Jan. 1, 2017. Our estimated LCR on a consolidated basis is compliant with the fully phased-in requirements of the U.S. LCR as of Dec. 31, 2016. Our consolidated HQLA before haircuts totaled $156 billion at Dec. 31, 2016, compared with $195 billion at Sept. 30, 2016 and $218 billion at Dec. 31, 2015.

INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT KEY POINTS


    --  Income before taxes totaled $260 million in 4Q16, a decrease of 10%
        year-over-year and an increase of 2% sequentially.  Income before taxes,
        excluding amortization of intangible assets (Non-GAAP), totaled $282
        million in 4Q16, a decrease of 10% year-over-year and an increase of 1%
        sequentially.
        --  Pre-tax operating margin of 27% in 4Q16 decreased 197 basis points
            year-over-year and increased 41 basis points sequentially.
        --  Adjusted pre-tax operating margin (Non-GAAP) of 33% in 4Q16
            decreased 85 basis points year-over-year and increased 83 basis
            points sequentially.
    --  Total revenue was $960 million, a decrease of 4% year-over-year and a
        slight increase sequentially.
        --  42% non-U.S. revenue in 4Q16 vs. 42% in 4Q15.
    --  Investment management fees were $801 million, a slight increase
        year-over-year and a decrease of 4% sequentially.  The year-over-year
        increase primarily reflects higher market values and money market fees,
        partially offset by the unfavorable impact of a stronger U.S. dollar
        (principally versus the British pound).  The sequential decrease
        primarily reflects outflows of assets under management, lower fixed
        income market values and money market fees.
        --  Net long-term outflows of $11 billion in 4Q16 were a combination of
            $10 billion of outflows from actively managed strategies and $1
            billion of outflows from index strategies.
        --  Net short-term outflows were $3 billion in 4Q16.
    --  Performance fees were $32 million in 4Q16 compared with $55 million in
        4Q15 and $8 million in 3Q16.  The sequential increase was driven by
        seasonality.
    --  Distribution and servicing fees were $48 million in 4Q16 compared with
        $39 million in 4Q15 and $49 million in 3Q16.  The year-over-year
        increase primarily reflects higher money market fees.
    --  Other revenue was a loss of $1 million in 4Q16 compared with other
        revenue of $22 million in 4Q15 and a loss of $18 million in 3Q16.  The
        year-over-year decrease reflects payments to Investment Services related
        to higher money market fees and lower seed capital gains, partially
        offset by gains on investments.  The sequential increase primarily
        reflects gains on hedging activity and investments, as well as losses on
        investments recorded in 3Q16, partially offset by lower seed capital
        gains.
    --  Net interest revenue decreased 5% year-over-year and 2% sequentially. 
        The year-over-year decrease primarily reflects the impact of the 1Q16
        changes in the internal crediting rates, partially offset by record
        average loans and higher rates on deposits.
        --  Average loans increased 17% year-over-year and 2% sequentially;
            average deposits increased slightly year-over-year and decreased 1%
            sequentially.  The increases in average loans were driven by our
            program to extend banking solutions to high net worth clients.
    --  Total noninterest expense (excluding amortization of intangible assets)
        decreased 2% year-over-year and 1% sequentially.  The year-over-year
        decrease was primarily driven by the favorable impact of a stronger U.S.
        dollar (principally versus the British pound) and lower professional,
        legal and other purchased services and lower staff expense, partially
        offset by higher distribution and servicing expense as a result of lower
        money market fee waivers.  The sequential decrease primarily reflects
        lower severance expense, partially offset by higher other expenses.

INVESTMENT SERVICES KEY POINTS


    --  Income before taxes totaled $921 million in 4Q16.  Income before taxes,
        excluding amortization of intangible assets (Non-GAAP), totaled $959
        million in 4Q16.
        --  The pre-tax operating margin was 34% in 4Q16.  The pre-tax operating
            margin, excluding the provision for credit losses and amortization
            of intangible assets (Non-GAAP), was 35% in 4Q16 and the investment
            services fees as a percentage of noninterest expense (excluding
            amortization of intangible assets) was 98% in 4Q16, reflecting the
            continued focus on the business improvement process to drive
            operating leverage.
    --  Investment services fees were $1.7 billion, an increase of 4%
        year-over-year and a decrease of 6% sequentially.
        --  Asset servicing fees were $1.043 billion in 4Q16 compared with
            $1.009 billion in 4Q15 and $1.039 billion in 3Q16.  The
            year-over-year increase primarily reflects higher money market fees,
            net new business and higher equity market values, partially offset
            by the unfavorable impact of a stronger U.S. dollar and the impact
            of downsizing of the UK retail transfer agency business.
            --  Estimated new business wins (AUC/A) in Asset Servicing of $141
                billion in 4Q16.
        --  Clearing services fees were $354 million in 4Q16 compared with $337
            million in 4Q15 and $347 million in 3Q16.  Both increases were
            primarily driven by higher money market fees.  The year-over-year
            increase was partially offset by the impact of previously disclosed
            lost business.
        --  Issuer services fees were $211 million in 4Q16 compared with $199
            million in 4Q15 and $336 million in 3Q16.  The year-over-year
            increase primarily reflects higher fees in Depositary Receipts and
            higher money market fees in Corporate Trust.  The sequential
            decrease primarily reflects seasonality in Depositary Receipts.
        --  Treasury services fees were $139 million in 4Q16 compared with $135
            million in 4Q15 and $136 million in 3Q16.  Both increases primarily
            resulted from higher payment volumes.  The year-over-year increase
            was partially offset by higher compensating balance credits provided
            to clients, which reduces fee revenue and increases net interest
            revenue.
    --  Foreign exchange and other trading revenue was $157 million in 4Q16
        compared with $150 million in 4Q15 and $177 million in 3Q16.  The
        year-over-year increase primarily reflects higher volatility.  The
        sequential decrease primarily reflects lower Depositary Receipt-related
        foreign exchange activity, partially offset by higher volatility.
    --  Other revenue was $128 million in 4Q16 compared with $127 million in
        4Q15 and $148 million in 3Q16.  Year-over-year, increased payments from
        Investment Management related to higher money market fees were offset by
        termination fees related to lost business in our clearing services
        business recorded in 4Q15 and certain fees paid to introducing brokers. 
        The sequential decrease primarily reflects termination fees related to
        lost business in our clearing services business in 3Q16.
    --  Net interest revenue was $713 million in 4Q16 compared with $664 million
        in 4Q15 and $715 million in 3Q16.  The year-over-year increase primarily
        reflects the impact of the higher short-term rates on lower balances.
    --  Noninterest expense (excluding amortization of intangible assets) was
        $1.786 billion in 4Q16 compared with $1.791 billion in 4Q15 and $1.812
        billion in 3Q16.  Both decreases primarily reflect lower incentive and
        litigation expense.  The year-over-year decrease also reflects lower
        severance and temporary services expenses.  The sequential decrease was
        partially offset by higher software expense.

OTHER SEGMENT primarily includes leasing operations, certain corporate treasury activities, derivatives, global markets, business exits and other corporate revenue and expense items.

KEY POINTS


    --  Total fee and other revenue decreased $47 million compared with 4Q15 and
        $58 million compared with 3Q16.  Both decreases primarily reflect the
        negative impact of interest rate hedging activities, which are offset in
        net interest revenue.  Both decreases also reflect lower net securities
        gains and investment and other income.
    --  Net interest revenue increased $26 million compared with 4Q15 and $61
        million compared with 3Q16.  Both increases were driven by the positive
        impact of interest rate hedging activities.  Substantially all of this
        impact was offset in fee and other revenue.  The sequential increase
        also reflects approximately $15 million related to the premium
        amortization adjustment, partially offset by the results of the leasing
        portfolio.
    --  The provision for credit losses was $1 million in 4Q16, compared with
        $159 million in 4Q15 and a credit of $20 million in 3Q16.
    --  Noninterest expense (excluding amortization of intangible assets and M&I
        and restructuring charges (recoveries)) decreased $42 million compared
        with 4Q15 and increased $20 million compared with 3Q16.  The
        year-over-year decrease primarily reflects lower staff expense.  The
        sequential increase was primarily driven by higher professional, legal
        and other purchased services and software expense.

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION - EXPLANATION OF GAAP AND NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

BNY Mellon has included in this Earnings Release certain Non-GAAP financial measures based on fully phased-in CET1 and other risk-based capital ratios, the fully phased-in SLR and tangible common shareholders' equity. BNY Mellon believes that the CET1 and other risk-based capital ratios on a fully phased-in basis, the SLR on a fully phased-in basis 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 capital ratios which are, or were, required by regulatory authorities. The tangible common shareholders' equity ratio, which excludes goodwill and intangible assets, net of deferred tax liabilities, 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 and the assets of consolidated investment management funds to which BNY Mellon has limited economic exposure. 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 those assets that can generate income. BNY Mellon has provided a measure of tangible book value per common share, which it believes provides additional useful information as to the level of tangible assets in relation to shares of common stock outstanding.

BNY Mellon has presented revenue measures, which exclude the effect of noncontrolling interests related to consolidated investment management funds, and expense measures, which exclude M&I, litigation and restructuring charges and amortization of intangible assets. Earnings per share, return on equity, operating leverage and operating margin measures, which exclude some or all of these items, as well as the (recovery) impairment charge related to Sentinel, are also presented. Operating margin measures may also exclude the provision for credit losses and distribution and servicing expense. BNY Mellon believes that 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. M&I expenses primarily relate to acquisitions and generally continue for approximately three years after the transaction. 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 streamlining actions, Operational Excellence Initiatives and migrating positions to Global Delivery Centers. Excluding these charges mentioned above permits investors to view expenses on a basis consistent with how management views the business.

The presentation of income (loss) from consolidated investment management funds, net of net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests 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 that these presentations, as a supplement to GAAP information, give investors a clearer picture of the results of its primary businesses.

Each of these measures as described above is used by management to monitor financial performance, both on a company-wide and on a business-level basis.

                         insurance and tax-exempt
                         securities.  The benefits of
                         these investments are primarily
                         reflected in tax expense.  If
                         reported on a tax-equivalent
                         basis, these investments would
