Computed values are grepcent-computed from the verified facts above and may differ from ratios the company itself reports. Free cash flow = operating cash flow − capital expenditures. Net margin = net income ÷ revenue. Revenue YoY = FY2025 revenue ÷ FY2024 revenue − 1 (consecutive fiscal years only). ROE = net income ÷ period-end stockholders' equity.

### Peer percentile fingerprint

| Ratio | BNY | Peer median | Percentile | N |
| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: |
| Net margin | 27.6% | 21.9% | 78 | 149 |
| Revenue growth | 7.8% | 6.0% | 60 | 148 |
| FCF margin | 25.8% | 23.8% | 58 | 133 |
| ROE | 12.5% | 9.6% | 80 | 149 |
| ROA | 1.2% | 1.1% | 62 | 149 |
| Liabilities / equity | 9.65 | 8.04 | 78 | 149 |

Percentile = share of the N covered peers reporting that ratio whose value is lower (ties counted half); computed among grepcent-covered companies in SIC industry 6022 State Commercial Banks, not the whole market. A higher percentile means a higher value of the ratio, not a better company. Ratios with fewer than 8 reporting peers are omitted. Latest reported values per company; fiscal periods may differ. Descriptive arithmetic - not a score, rating, or ranking.

Key second quarter 2026 and subsequent events

Increase in cash dividend on common stock

In July 2026, our Board of Directors approved a 19% increase in the quarterly cash dividend on our common stock, from $0.53 to $0.63 per share. The increased quarterly cash dividend is expected to be paid on Aug. 7, 2026.

Highlights of second quarter 2026 results

We reported net income applicable to common shareholders of $1.7 billion, or $2.45 per diluted common share, in the second quarter of 2026, including the impact of notable items. Notable items in the second quarter of 2026 include severance expense and litigation reserves. Excluding notable items, net income applicable to common shareholders was $1.7 billion (Non-GAAP), or $2.46 (Non-GAAP) per diluted common share, in the second quarter of 2026. Net income applicable to common shareholders was $1.4 billion, or $1.93 per diluted common share, in the second quarter of 2025,

including the impact of notable items. Notable items in the second quarter of 2025 include severance expense and reductions in litigation reserves and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) special assessment. Excluding notable items, net income applicable to common shareholders was $1.4 billion (Non-GAAP), or $1.94 (Non-GAAP) per diluted common share, in the second quarter of 2025.

The highlights below are based on the second quarter of 2026 compared with the second quarter of 2025, unless otherwise noted.

•Total revenue increased 13%, primarily reflecting:

•Fee revenue increased 11%, primarily reflecting net new business, higher market values and higher client activity, partially offset by the mix of AUM flows. (See “Fee and other revenue” beginning on page 6.)

•Investment and other revenue increased primarily reflecting improved seed capital results. (See “Fee and other revenue” beginning on page 6.)

•Net interest income increased 20%, primarily reflecting the reinvestment of investment securities at higher yields and balance sheet growth, partially offset by deposit margin compression. (See “Net interest income” on page 8.)

•The provision for credit losses was a benefit of $8 million, primarily reflecting improvements in commercial real estate exposure, partially offset by changes in macroeconomic and other factors. (See “Allowance for credit losses” on page 27.)

•Noninterest expense increased 7%, primarily reflecting higher revenue-related expenses, investments and employee salary increases, partially offset by efficiency savings. (See “Noninterest expense” on page 11.)

•Effective tax rate of 21.0%. (See “Income taxes” on page 11.)

•Return on common shareholders’ equity (“ROE”) was 17.2% for the second quarter of 2026.

•Return on tangible common shareholders’ equity (“ROTCE”) was 31.3% (Non-GAAP) for the second quarter of 2026.

See “Supplemental information – Explanation of GAAP and Non-GAAP financial measures” beginning on page 41 for a reconciliation of these Non-GAAP measures.

Metrics

•AUC/A of $62.6 trillion increased 12%, primarily reflecting higher market values and net client inflows, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of a stronger U.S. dollar.

•AUM of $2.2 trillion increased 6%, primarily reflecting higher market values, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of the stronger U.S. dollar and cumulative net outflows.

Capital and liquidity

•Our CET1 ratio under the Standardized Approach was 11.0% at June 30, 2026, unchanged compared with March 31, 2026, reflecting capital generated through earnings, partially offset by capital returned through common stock repurchases and dividends and higher risk-weighted assets (“RWA”). (See “Capital” beginning on page 33.)

•Our Tier 1 leverage ratio was 5.9% at June 30, 2026, a decrease compared with March 31, 2026, primarily reflecting higher average assets. (See “Capital” beginning on page 33.)

•Returned $1.5 billion to common shareholders, including $1.1 billion of common share repurchases.

on these transactions, both of which are impacted by market volatility, the impact of foreign currency hedging activities and foreign currency remeasurement gain (loss). Foreign exchange revenue increased 8% compared with the second quarter of 2025, primarily reflecting higher client volumes, partially offset by the impact of corporate treasury activity. Foreign exchange revenue is primarily reported in the Securities Services business segment and, to a lesser extent, the Market and Wealth Services and Investment and Wealth Management business segments and the Other segment.

Financing-related fees

Financing-related fees, which are primarily reported in the Market and Wealth Services and Securities Services business segments, include capital market fees, loan commitment fees and credit-related fees.

seed capital gains or losses, other trading revenue or loss, renewable energy investments gains, income from corporate and bank-owned life insurance contracts, other investment gains or losses, gains or losses from disposals, expense reimbursements from our CIBC Mellon joint venture, other income or loss and net investment securities gains or losses.

2024 include severance expense, litigation reserves and the net impact of adjustments for the FDIC special assessment. Excluding notable items, net income applicable to common shareholders was $4.5 billion (Non-GAAP), or $6.03 (Non-GAAP) per diluted common share, in 2024.

The highlights below are based on 2025 compared with 2024, unless otherwise noted.

•Total revenue increased 8%, primarily reflecting:

•Fee revenue increased 6%, primarily reflecting net new business and higher client activity, higher market values and the favorable impact of a weaker U.S. dollar, partially offset by the mix of AUM flows. (See “Fee and other revenue” beginning on page 5.)

•Investment and other revenue increased primarily reflecting disposal gains and net gains on other investments. (See “Fee and other revenue” beginning on page 5.)

•Net interest income increased 15%, primarily reflecting the reinvestment of maturing investment securities at higher yields and balance sheet growth, partially offset by deposit margin compression. (See “Net interest income” beginning on page 7.)

•The provision for credit losses was a benefit of $32 million, primarily driven by improvements in commercial real estate exposure and changes in the macroeconomic forecast. (See “Consolidated balance sheet review – Allowance for credit losses” beginning on page 32.)

•Noninterest expense increased 3%, primarily reflecting higher investments, employee merit increases, higher revenue-related expenses and the unfavorable impact of the weaker U.S. dollar, partially offset by efficiency savings. Excluding notable items, noninterest expense also increased 3% (Non-GAAP). (See “Noninterest expense” on page 10.)

•Effective tax rate of 20.9% in 2025. (See “Income taxes” on page 10.)

•Return on common shareholders’ equity (“ROE”) was 13.9% for 2025. Excluding notable items,

the adjusted ROE was 14.1% (Non-GAAP) for 2025.

•Return on tangible common shareholders’ equity (“ROTCE”) was 26.1% (Non-GAAP) for 2025. Excluding notable items, the adjusted ROTCE was 26.4% (Non-GAAP) for 2025.

See “Supplemental Information – Explanation of GAAP and Non-GAAP financial measures” beginning on page 111 for reconciliations of the Non-GAAP measures.

Metrics

•AUC/A totaled $59.3 trillion at Dec. 31, 2025 compared with $52.1 trillion at Dec. 31, 2024. The 14% increase primarily reflects client inflows, higher market values and the favorable impact of the weaker U.S. dollar. (See “Fee and other revenue” beginning on page 5.)

•AUM totaled $2.18 trillion at Dec. 31, 2025 compared with $2.03 trillion at Dec. 31, 2024. The 7% increase primarily reflects higher market values and the favorable impact of the weaker U.S. dollar, partially offset by cumulative net outflows. (See “Review of business segments – Investment and Wealth Management business segment” beginning on page 16.)

Capital and liquidity

•Our CET1 ratio calculated under the Standardized Approach was 11.9% at Dec. 31, 2025 and 11.2% at Dec. 31, 2024. The increase was primarily driven by capital generated through earnings and a net increase in accumulated other comprehensive income, partially offset by capital returned through common stock repurchases and dividends and higher risk-weighted assets (“RWAs”). (See “Capital” beginning on page 38.)

•Our Tier 1 leverage ratio was 6.0% at Dec. 31, 2025, compared with 5.7% at Dec. 31, 2024. The increase was driven by an increase in capital, partially offset by higher average assets. (See “Capital” beginning on page 38.)

Foreign exchange revenue

Foreign exchange revenue is primarily driven by the volume of client transactions and the spread realized on these transactions, both of which are impacted by market volatility, the impact of foreign currency hedging activities and foreign currency remeasurement gain (loss). In 2025, foreign exchange revenue increased 3% compared with 2024, primarily reflecting higher volatility and volumes. Foreign exchange revenue is primarily reported in the Securities Services business segment and, to a lesser extent, the Market and Wealth Services and Investment and Wealth Management business segments and the Other segment.

Financing-related fees

Financing-related fees, which are primarily reported in the Market and Wealth Services and Securities Services business segments, include capital market fees, loan commitment fees and credit-related fees.
