Bank of New York Reports Earnings Drop: Revenues Decrease, Expenses Increase
Bank of New York Mellon Summary Q4 2011 Q4 financial performance dropped from a decrease in revenues and increase in expenses. Financial position continues strong. CEO Gerald L. Hassell explained, "It was a challenging revenue quarter, as general uncertainty in the financial markets resulted in lower-than-normal levels of client activity. Our results were also impacted by seasonality in our Depositary Receipts business. We remained focused on driving our operational excellence initiatives and managing our expense base lower to offset weak market conditions."
