BNY Mellon Releases Results of the 2020 Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review and Dodd-Frank Act Stress Test

NEW YORK, June 29, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- BNY Mellon announced that the Federal Reserve has notified the company that its Stress Capital Buffer (SCB) requirement will be 2.5%¹, equal to the regulatory minimum, effective as of October 1, 2020.  Additionally, on June 25, 2020, the Federal Reserve released the results of the 2020 Dodd-Frank Act Stress Test (DFAST), which demonstrate the resiliency and strength of BNY Mellon's business model and capital position.

"We are pleased with the DFAST results and believe that our business model positions us well in this uncertain environment.  These results demonstrate how our company performs in times of stress – we experienced the lowest peak-to-trough reduction in CET1 capital², well below the minimum SCB requirement.  We are confident in our ability to maintain our balance sheet strength, continue to support employees and clients, invest for future growth and deliver operational resiliency during this challenging period," said Todd Gibbons, Chief Executive Officer of BNY Mellon.

The company intends to maintain its quarterly cash dividend on common stock of $0.31 per share, subject to approval by its board of directors.

The company will not conduct open market common stock repurchases during the third quarter of 2020 and will resume our common share repurchase program as early as possible, depending on factors such as prevailing market conditions, our outlook for the economic environment, and the additional capital analysis required by the Federal Reserve. The latter is required of all participating CCAR firms and will occur later this year.
