State Street Reports Third-quarter 2019 EPS of $1.42 Per Share; $1.51 Per Share Excluding Notable Items(a)

EXPENSE SAVINGS PROGRAM EXPECTED TO ACHIEVE $400 MILLION TARGET IN 2019 WITH $275 MILLION OF SAVINGS REALIZED YEAR-TO-DATE
NEW INVESTMENT SERVICING WINS TOTAL $1 TRILLION DURING QUARTER AND CONTINUED STRONG FRONT-TO-BACK PIPELINE
RETURNED APPROXIMATELY $690 MILLION OF CAPITAL TO SHAREHOLDERS IN SHARE REPURCHASES AND DIVIDENDS
BOSTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Ron O’Hanley, President and Chief Executive Officer : “We are encouraged by the continued stabilization in servicing fees seen in the third quarter and believe the actions we’ve taken to date, including the upgrade of our client coverage program, improved client service results, and strengthened pricing discipline are having an impact. Despite an uncertain revenue environment, we saw sequential fee revenue growth in FX trading services in our Global Markets business and strong NII. Our strong performance under the 2019 CCAR stress test allowed us to increase our quarterly dividend by 11% from 2Q19 and boost our total capital return to shareholders. While our pre-tax margin and return on equity fell short of medium-term targets, we remain committed to our 2019 expense program and the expected realization of $400 million in savings by year end and are laser-focused on improving our financial performance by implementing additional ways to reignite revenue growth and generate additional expense reductions going forward.”

3Q19 HIGHLIGHTS
(all comparisons are to 3Q18, unless otherwise noted)
AUC/A and AUM
• Investment Servicing AUC/A as of quarter-end decreased 3% primarily due to a previously announced client transition, partially offset by higher end of period fixed income market levels.
• Investment Management AUM as of quarter-end increased 5% due to higher end of period market levels and net inflows of $59 billion, driven by institutional, cash and ETF inflows.
New Business
• Investment Servicing mandates announced in 3Q19 totaled $1.0 trillion with quarter-end servicing assets remaining to be installed in future periods of $1.2 trillion.
• Investment Management net inflows in 3Q19 of $13 billion driven by cash and ETF inflows.
Revenues
• Fee revenue decreased 3% reflecting lower servicing and management revenues, partially offset by CRD:
◦ Compared to 2Q19, fee revenue was flat reflecting higher servicing fees up 2%, management fees up 1%, and foreign exchange trading services revenues up 4%, offset by lower processing fees and seasonally lower securities finance revenue.
◦ On a standalone basis, CRD generated $85 million in 3Q19 fee revenues(b).
• Net interest income (NII) decreased 4% primarily due to lower long-end rates and MBS premium amortization, as well as mix shift away from non-interest bearing deposits.
• Compared to 2Q19, NII increased 5% primarily driven by episodic market-related benefits, higher client repo activity, and active deposit management, partially offset by lower long-end rates.

Expenses
• Total expenses were up 4%, primarily reflecting the impact of CRD expenses and 3Q19 notable items:
◦ Excluding CRD expenses and notable items, total expenses were down 1% compared to 3Q18.
◦ Expense savings program announced in January 2019 achieved $275 million total savings year-to-date through resource discipline, process re-engineering and automation benefits.
◦ Savings from expense programs exceeded business investments in technology infrastructure.
• Total headcount increased 1%, driven by the impact of CRD, or down 2% excluding CRD, compared to 3Q18, primarily driven by productivity savings.
◦ 3Q19 saw the third sequential decline in total headcount, while strengthening client service through quality initiatives and automation.
◦ Year-to-date higher-cost location headcount reductions totaled over 2,700, exceeding the original target of 1,500 for FY 2019.
Capital
• Returned approximately $690 million(c) to shareholders in 3Q19, consisting of $500 million in common share repurchases and approximately $190 million in common share dividends.
◦ Declared 3Q19 quarterly common share dividend of $0.52 per share, an increase of 11% from the 2Q19 dividend.
• Estimated standardized Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) of 11.3%, Tier 1 Leverage ratio of 7.4% and Supplementary Leverage Ratio (SLR) of 6.6% at quarter-end.
(c) Based on a capital return of $690 million and net income available to common shareholders for the quarter ended September 30, 2019, of $528 million, our total payout ratio was 131%.

Servicing fees decreased 5% compared to 3Q18 driven by the impact of challenging industry conditions including fee pressure. Servicing fees were up 2% compared to 2Q19 primarily due to higher average market levels and net new business.
Management fees decreased 6% compared to 3Q18 primarily reflecting the run rate impact of late 2018 outflows and mix changes away from higher fee products, partially offset by higher average U.S. equity market levels. Management fees increased 1% compared to 2Q19 primarily driven by higher average U.S. equity market levels, day count and inflows.
Foreign exchange trading services decreased 1% compared to 3Q18 due to lower market volatility, and increased 4% compared to 2Q19 primarily due to higher market volatility and FX volumes.
Securities finance decreased 9% compared to 3Q18 largely reflecting the 2H18 balance sheet optimization efforts and 8% compared to 2Q19 primarily due to the absence of 2Q19 seasonal activity.
Processing fees and other increased compared to 3Q18 largely reflecting CRD revenue contribution, which was acquired in 4Q18. Processing fees were down 15% compared to 2Q19 primarily driven by market-related adjustments and lower CRD revenue due to timing of new business and renewals. In 3Q19, CRD contributed $77 million of revenue(b).
Net interest income (NII) decreased 4% compared to 3Q18 primarily due to lower long-end rates and MBS premium amortization, as well as mix shift away from non-interest bearing deposits. NII increased 5% compared to 2Q19 primarily due to the episodic market-related benefits, higher client repo activity, and active deposit management, partially offset by lower long-end rates. Net interest margin (NIM)(d) decreased 6 basis points compared to 3Q18 due to lower NII, partially offset by a decrease in interest-earning assets. Compared to 2Q19, NIM increased 4 basis points driven by higher NII and a larger investment portfolio, partially offset by balance sheet growth.
(b) See In This News Release for an explanation and reconciliation of CRD standalone and consolidated revenues and expenses.
(d) NIM is presented on a fully taxable-equivalent (FTE) basis. Refer to the Addendum for reconciliations of our FTE-basis presentation.

Total expenses were up 4% from 3Q18 primarily reflecting notable items and CRD expenses. Total expenses increased 1% compared to 2Q19 driven by notable items and technology infrastructure investments. Excluding notable items and CRD expenses, total expenses were down 1% compared to 3Q18 and 2Q19.
Compensation and employee benefits decreased 2% compared to 3Q18 driven by savings from resource discipline and process re-engineering initiatives, partially offset by the impact of CRD. Compensation and employee benefits were flat compared to 2Q19.
Information systems and communications increased 13% compared to 3Q18 and 3% compared to 2Q19 largely reflecting technology infrastructure investments.
Transaction processing services increased 2% compared to 3Q18 and 4% compared to 2Q19 both primarily due to higher business volumes.
Occupancy increased 3% compared to 3Q18 primarily reflecting the expansion of lower-cost locations in 4Q18 and CRD. Occupancy expense was down 2% compared to 2Q19.
Amortization of other intangible assets increased 26% compared to 3Q18 primarily due to the CRD acquisition. Amortization of other intangible assets was flat compared to 2Q19.
Other expenses increased 7% compared to 3Q18 primarily reflecting higher notable legal and related expenses, partially offset by lower professional fees. Compared to 2Q19, other expenses decreased 2% due to lower professional services costs, partially offset by the higher legal and related expenses.
The effective tax rate in 3Q19 was 19.2% compared to 14.5% in 3Q18 and 18.1% in 2Q19. Compared to 3Q18, the effective tax rate increased primarily due to the absence of a 3Q18 adjustment to the estimated impact of 2017 tax legislation changes originally estimated in 4Q17. Compared to 2Q19, the effective tax rate increased due to the lesser impact of tax advantaged investments.

IN THIS NEWS RELEASE:
- Expenses are sometimes presented excluding notable items, seasonal and CRD expenses. This is a non-GAAP presentation. See the Addendum to this News Release for an explanation and reconciliations of our non-GAAP measures and CRD expenses. The 2019 expense savings program is stated on a gross basis.
- For 3Q19, CRD standalone results include revenue of $85 million, operating expenses of $56 million and pre-tax income of $29 million, which includes $4 million of revenue associated with affiliates, including SSGA. On a consolidated basis, CRD contributed $81 million, including $77 million in Processing fees and other revenue and $4 million in FX trading services. CRD annual contract value bookings represent signed annual recurring revenue contract value. CRD annual contract value bookings of $5 million includes $0 million of bookings with affiliates, including SSGA.
- New asset servicing mandates, including announced front-to-back investment servicing clients, may be subject to completion of definitive agreements, approval of applicable boards and shareholders and customary regulatory approvals. New asset servicing mandates and servicing assets remaining to be installed in future periods exclude new business which has been contracted, but for which the client has not yet provided permission to publicly disclose and is not yet installed. These excluded assets, which from time to time may be significant, will be included in new asset servicing mandates and reflected in servicing assets remaining to be installed in the period in which the client provides its permission. Servicing mandates and servicing assets remaining to be installed in future periods are presented on a gross basis and therefore also do not include the impact of clients who have notified us during the period of their intent to terminate or reduce their relationship with State Street, which from time to time may be significant.
- New business in assets to be serviced is reflected in our AUC/A after we begin servicing the assets, and new business in assets to be managed is reflected in our AUM after we begin managing the assets. As such, only a portion of any new asset servicing and asset management mandates may be reflected in our AUC/A and AUM as of September 30, 2019. Generally, our servicing fee revenues are affected by several factors including changes in market valuations, client activity and asset flows, net new business and the manner in which we price our services. We provide a range of services to our clients, including core custody services, accounting, reporting and administration and middle office services, and the nature and mix of services provided affects our servicing fees. The basis for fees will differ across regions and clients. The industry in which we operate has historically faced pricing pressure, and our servicing fee revenues are also affected by such pressures today. Consequently, no assumption should be drawn as to future revenue run rate from announced servicing wins, as the amount of revenue associated with AUC/A can vary materially. The $1 trillion of investment servicing new business mandates announced for 3Q19 was driven by an accounting mandate for an existing large asset manager client. Management fees generally are affected by our level of AUM and differ based upon the nature, type and investment strategy of the investment product. Management fee revenue is more sensitive to market valuations than servicing fee revenue, as a higher proportion of the underlying services provided, and the associated management fees earned, are dependent on equity and fixed-income security valuations. Additional factors, such as the relative mix of assets managed, may have a significant effect on our management fee revenue.
