REPORTS FOURTH QUARTER NET INCOME OF $2.36 PER SHARE; $0.58 PER SHARE ON AN OPERATING BASIS REFLECTING STRONG PERFORMANCE ACROSS ALL BUSINESS LINES NEW YORK, N.Y., January 18, 2007 -- The Bank of New York Company, Inc. (NYSE: BK) reported today fourth quarter net income of $1,789 million and diluted earnings per share of $2.36. On an adjusted basis, excluding merger and integration costs and the gain on the sale of the Retail Business, fourth quarter diluted earnings per share was 58 cents, an increase of 9% from 53 cents in the fourth quarter of 2005, and net income was $435 million, up from $405 million in last year's fourth quarter. See "Supplemental Financial Information." Full-year 2006 net income was $3,011 million and diluted earnings per share was $3.93. On an adjusted basis, excluding merger and integration costs and the gain on the sale of the Retail Business, full-year 2006 diluted earnings per share was $2.26, an increase of 11% over $2.03 in 2005 and net income was $1,731 million, compared with $1,571 million last year. FOURTH QUARTER PERFORMANCE HIGHLIGHTS * Outstanding issuer services results, reflecting double-digit revenue growth in the Company's existing corporate trust business over the fourth quarter of 2005 and another excellent quarter for depositary receipts; * Broker-dealer services revenue growth of 16% over the fourth quarter of 2005, driven by collateral management and global clearance activities; * Strong performance in global custody activities, demonstrated by a 10% growth in investor services fees over the fourth quarter of 2005; * Private banking and asset management fees were up 25% sequentially reflecting organic growth and higher performance fees; * Strong net interest margin reflecting robust levels of customer activity; * Continued excellent asset quality. "Our strong performance in the fourth quarter caps off a watershed year for our Company," stated Thomas A. Renyi, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "Throughout the year we delivered on our strategy, achieved our performance objectives and identified significant opportunities to accelerate our growth and increase the value we deliver to shareholders. The agreement to merge with Mellon Financial Corporation, together with the formation of BNY ConvergEx Group and the asset swap that made us the leader in global corporate trust, creates a compelling growth story. These transactions are reshaping the Company, expanding our capacity for growth and profitability, and redefining what it means to be a premier provider of securities servicing and asset management. "We are very pleased with our financial performance in the fourth quarter as well as our progress on key strategic initiatives. Our results demonstrate the power of our business model, which is built 2 upon an expectation for the increased globalization of financial markets and asset flows. This trend continued to be strong in the fourth quarter, and our performance reflects our ability to capitalize on the heightened market activity. In addition, we closed the asset swap and BNY ConvergEx transactions early in the quarter, and the corporate trust integration remains on schedule and results are on plan. Our demonstrated success in executing on our strategic and financial goals gives us great confidence in our ability to again achieve strong results in the year ahead." SUPPLEMENTAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION On October 1, 2006, the Company acquired JPMorgan Chase's corporate trust business ("Acquired Corporate Trust Business") and sold to JPMorgan Chase the Company's retail and regional middle market banking businesses ("Retail Business"). In the second quarter of 2006, the Company adopted discontinued operations accounting for its Retail Business. Therefore, the results from continuing operations through December 31, 2006 exclude the results of the Company's Retail Business but only include the operations of the Acquired Corporate Trust Business for the fourth quarter of 2006. Adjusted financial statements combining continuing and discontinued operations are presented in the Appendix. The following table shows the impact of the gain on the sale of the Company's Retail Business and merger and integration costs on diluted earnings per share for the three months and twelve months ended December 31, 2006: Diluted Earnings Per Share ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Three Months Ended December 31, 2006 Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2006 ------------------------------------- ------------------------------------- Continuing Discontinued Continuing Discontinued (In dollars) Operations Operations Adjusted(1) Operations Operations Adjusted(1) ---------- ------------ -------- ---------- ------------ -------- As Reported $ 0.56 $ 1.80 $ 2.36 $ 1.93 $ 2.00 $ 3.93 Merger & Integration Costs (2) 0.02 0.02 0.04 0.09 0.04 0.13 Gain on Sale of Retail Business (3) - (1.82) (1.82) - (1.80) (1.80) ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- Operating (4) $ 0.58 $ - $ 0.58 $ 2.02 $ 0.24 $ 2.26 ======= ======= ======= ======= ======= =======(1) Adjusted results combine continuing and discontinued operations to provide continuity with historical results.

Most of these same trends explain the year-over-year and sequential increases in noninterest income. The fourth quarter of 2006's results also reflects higher revenue from the new business mix resulting from the Acquired Corporate Trust Business, offset by the BNY ConvergEx transaction. The decline in execution and clearing fees versus the fourth quarter of 2005 and the third quarter of 2006 reflects the disposition of certain execution businesses in the BNY ConvergEx transaction. These businesses had revenues of $66 million in the third quarter of 2006 and $82 million in the fourth quarter of 2005. At Pershing, revenue was up, compared with both the fourth quarter and full-year 2005 and the previous quarter, reflecting good organic growth in asset-driven fees and retirement products. Comparisons to 2005 periods are impacted by the previously disclosed loss of a significant customer. The execution and clearing businesses currently include electronic trading and, through Pershing, correspondent clearing services such as clearing, execution, financing, and custody for introducing broker-dealers. Issuer services fees continued to exhibit strong growth for the quarter compared with last year's fourth quarter and full-year 2005. The Acquired Corporate Trust Business had a significant impact on comparisons with all prior periods, as fee revenues for the fourth quarter were $129 million. Existing corporate trust fees had double-digit growth over the fourth quarter of 2005 reflecting continued strong performance in global products and structured finance, notably asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities. The sequential quarter and full-year increases are attributable to the same factors affecting quarterly year-over-year results. The depositary receipts business continues to benefit from both a higher level of net issuance, reflecting the continued growth in cross-border 4 investing activity, as well as increased corporate actions related to dividends and mergers and acquisitions. Issuer services includes corporate trust, depositary receipts, employee investment plan services, and stock transfer. Investor services fees increased from all prior periods due to increased transaction volumes and organic growth across all business products, especially global custody, mutual funds, exchange-traded funds and hedge fund servicing. The fourth quarter growth in these businesses was partially offset by a decline in securities lending, which was adversely impacted by tight financing spreads. Investor services includes global fund services, global custody, securities lending, global liquidity services, outsourcing, and hedge fund servicing. Broker-dealer services fees were up significantly from both the fourth quarter and full-year 2005 reflecting continued strong performance in global clearance and collateral management. The performance was driven by both an increase in transaction volumes and strong net new business flows. Broker- dealer services fees increased from the third quarter of 2006 reflecting the same trends impacting year-over-year comparisons. Global payment services fees increased from the fourth quarter of 2005 reflecting greater funds transfer volume, although fees declined from the third quarter of 2006 and for the full year 2006. While the payments business continues to grow, as evidenced by increases in funds transfer volume and net new business, the level of fees has been impacted by customers paying with a higher value of compensatory balances in lieu of fees. On an invoiced services basis, total revenue was up 3% over the fourth quarter of 2005 and 1% on a sequential-quarter basis. On the same basis, total revenue was up 6% for the full year of 2006. Private banking and asset management fees increased significantly over the fourth quarter and full-year 2005 primarily due to acquisitions and improved performance fees at Ivy Asset Management. The sequential-quarter increase in fees is attributable to organic growth in assets under management and higher performance fees at Ivy Asset Management and Alcentra, as well as increased fees in the private bank. Total assets under management for private banking and asset management were $131 billion at December 31, 2006, up from $105 billion at December 31, 2005 and $120 billion at September 30, 2006. Service charges and fees were down from the fourth quarter and full year of 2005 and sequentially principally due to lower capital market fees, in line with the Company's reduced risk appetite. Foreign exchange and other trading revenues rose from both the fourth quarter of 2005 and the third quarter of 2006 reflecting an increase in fixed income trading activity. Foreign exchange results were down from the fourth quarter of 2005 and up only slightly on a sequential-quarter basis reflecting lower market volatility. Foreign exchange was up significantly for the full year of 2006 reflecting increased cross-border activity, greater business from existing clients, and favorable market conditions in the first half of the year. Securities gains were up significantly from the fourth quarter of 2005 and the third quarter of 2006. In the fourth quarter, the Company sold one of its sponsor fund investments to a third party for a realized gain of $11 million. The gains in the quarter were also attributable to continued strong returns on investments in the sponsor fund portfolio. The increase in securities gains for the full year reflect favorable market conditions and liquidity in the private equity markets. Net economic value payments are amounts received from JPMorgan Chase for the economic value of certain deposits that have not yet been transitioned to the Company's balance sheet. The transition is expected to occur during the second quarter of 2007. Other noninterest income increased versus the fourth quarter and full year of 2005 reflecting higher asset-related gains. The sequential quarter decline reflects fewer asset-related gains partly 5 offset by higher income from equity investments and stable sources. The fourth quarter of 2006's result includes a $6 million loss related to low- income housing investments. The full-year 2006 result includes a pre-tax gain of $35 million related to the conversion of the Company's New York Stock Exchange seats into cash and shares of NYSE Group, Inc. common stock. The full-year 2005 result includes a $17 million gain on the sale of the Company's interest in Financial Models Company, Inc. NET INTEREST INCOME (Continuing Operations) Percent Inc/(Dec) Year-to-date ----------------- ------------- Percent (Dollars in millions) 4Q06 vs. 4Q06 vs. 2006 2005 Inc/ 4Q06 3Q06 4Q05 3Q06 4Q05 (Dec) ---- ---- ---- ------- --------- ---- ---- ------- Net Interest Income $450 $351 $344 28% 31% $1,499 $1,340 12% Tax Equivalent Adjustment* 2 7 6 22 27 ---- ---- ---- ------ ------ Net Interest Income on a Tax Equivalent Basis $452 $358 $350 26 29 $1,521 $1,367 11 ==== ==== ==== ====== ====== Net Interest Margin 2.27% 1.89% 1.96% 2.01% 2.02%* A number of amounts related to net interest income are presented on a "tax equivalent basis." The Company believes that this presentation provides comparability of net interest income arising from both taxable and tax-exempt sources and is consistent with industry standards. Comparisons with all prior periods are impacted by higher deposit balances associated with the Acquired Corporate Trust Business. Compared to prior year periods, net interest income also benefited from higher amounts of interest-earning assets and interest-free balances as well as the higher value of interest-free balances in a rising rate environment. The sequential increases in net interest income and net interest margin were primarily driven by higher interest-free balances, particularly from the Acquired Corporate Trust Business. Net interest income does not reflect the impact of certain deposits of the Acquired Corporate Trust Business which are expected to transition to the Company in the second quarter of 2007. Pro forma for the inclusion of these deposits and the associated economic value on these deposits, the net interest margin would have been 2.09%. 6 NONINTEREST EXPENSE AND INCOME TAXES (Continuing Operations) Percent Inc/(Dec) Quarter ----------------- Year Percent -------------------- 4Q06 vs. 4Q06 vs. -------------- Inc/ (Dollars in million) 4Q06 3Q06 4Q05 3Q06 4Q05 2006 2005 (Dec) ------ ------ ------ -------- -------- ------ ------ ------- Salaries and Employee Benefits $ 736 $ 644 $ 587 14% 25% $2,640 $2,310 14% Net Occupancy 73 70 66 4 11 279 250 12 Furniture and Equipment 44 46 51 (4) (14) 190 199 (5) Clearing 33 47 50 (30) (34) 183 187 (2) Sub-custodian Expenses 34 31 24 10 42 134 96 40 Software 59 53 53 11 11 220 214 3 Communications 23 26 25 (12) (8) 97 91 7 Amortization of Intangibles 34 14 12 143 183 76 40 90 Merger and Integration Costs 17 89 - (81) NM 106 - NM Other 228 172 176 33 30 746 680 10 ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ Total Noninterest Expense 1,281 1,192 1,044 7 23 4,671 4,067 15 Merger and Integration Costs (17) (89) - NM NM (106) - NM ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ Total Noninterest Expense Excluding Merger and Integration Costs $1,264 $1,103 $1,044 15 21 $4,565 $4,067 12 ====== ====== ====== ====== ======NM - Not meaningful Excluding merger and integration costs, noninterest expense was up compared with the fourth quarter and full year of 2005 and on a sequential- quarter basis. Expenses for the fourth quarter and full year of 2006 reflect increases related to the Acquired Corporate Trust Business partially offset by the disposition of certain execution businesses in the BNY ConvergEx transaction. Relative to the year-ago periods, salaries and benefits increased reflecting higher staff levels tied to new businesses, acquisitions, incentive compensation, and temporary help. Pension expense was also higher on a year-over-year basis. The sequential-quarter increase also reflects a higher level of incentive compensation tied to performance fees and other revenue increases and higher temporary help and medical costs. The lower level of clearing expenses reflects the BNY ConvergEx transaction. Sub-custodian expenses were higher for the year reflecting increased asset values and transaction volumes of assets under custody, and increased activity in depositary receipts. The rise in amortization of intangibles in the fourth quarter of 2006 is due to the Acquired Corporate Trust Business and also includes a $6 million impairment charge related to the write-off of customer intangibles in Europe. Other expense in the fourth quarter of 2006 included a $22 million transition services expense and other costs related to the Acquired Corporate Trust Business. Merger and integration costs for the full year of 2006 included a loss in connection with the restructuring of the Company's investment portfolio, employee-related costs such as severance and other transaction-related expenses. The effective tax rate for the fourth quarter of 2006 was 31.2%, compared to 32.2% in the fourth quarter of 2005 and 29.4% in the third quarter of 2006. The effective tax rate for the full year of 2006 was 32.0% compared with 32.1% in 2005. The decrease from the fourth quarter of 2005 7 primarily reflects the impact of discontinued operations accounting. The sequential quarter increase reflects higher state and local taxes. CAPITAL The Company's estimated Tier 1 and Total Capital ratios were 7.80% and 12.07% at December 31, 2006, compared with 8.38% and 12.48% at December 31, 2005 and 8.17% and 12.32% at September 30, 2006. The estimated leverage ratio was 6.40% at December 31, 2006, compared with 6.60% at December 31, 2005 and 6.56% at September 30, 2006. The Company's estimated tangible common equity ratio was 5.14% at December 31, 2006, compared with 5.58% at December 31, 2005 and 5.58% at September 30, 2006. The decline in the capital ratios primarily reflects the impact of the goodwill and intangibles associated with the Acquired Corporate Trust Business and the adoption of a new accounting standard related to pensions which reduced capital by $257 million. The Company repurchased 12.1 million shares of its common stock on October 3, 2006 in connection with the BNY ConvergEx transaction. ASSET QUALITY (Continuing Operations) Asset quality continued to be strong as nonperforming assets remained unchanged at low levels. Nonperforming assets were $38 million at December 31, 2006, essentially flat compared with $39 million at December 31, 2005 and $38 million at September 30, 2006. Net charge-offs were $24 million in the fourth quarter of 2006, compared with $140 million in the fourth quarter of 2005 and zero in the third quarter of 2006. During the fourth quarter of 2006, the Company sold $38 million of leasing exposure to a domestic airline resulting in a charge-off of $23 million. During the fourth quarter of 2005, the Company charged off $140 million of leases with two bankrupt airline customers. The provision of credit losses for the fourth quarter of 2006 was a credit of $15 million, compared with a provision of $3 million in the fourth quarter of 2005 and a credit of $4 million in the third quarter of 2006. The sequential increase in the credit to the provision is consistent with a continued strong credit environment. MERGER AGREEMENT WITH MELLON FINANCIAL CORPORATION ("MELLON") On December 3, 2006, the Company and Mellon entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement"), pursuant to which the Company and Mellon will each merge with and into a newly formed corporation to be called The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation. The boards of directors of both companies have unanimously approved the Merger Agreement. The board of directors of each company has adopted a resolution recommending the adoption of the Merger Agreement by its respective shareholders, and each party has agreed to put these matters before their respective shareholders for consideration. Subject to the customary closing conditions, the merger is expected to close early in the third quarter of 2007. It is currently anticipated that the Company and Mellon will file a joint proxy statement/prospectus with the SEC regarding the proposed merger in late February or early March, after each party files its annual report on Form 10-K with the SEC. 8 CONFERENCE CALL INFORMATION Thomas A.

The transaction further increased the Company's focus on the securities services and asset management businesses that are at the core of its long-term business strategy. For the quarters ended December 31, 2006, September 30, 2006, and December 31, 2005 and twelve-month periods ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company has prepared supplemental financial information as follows: * Full income statements for the Retail Business, which is reflected as discontinued operations * Adjusted results, which combine continuing and discontinued operations to provide continuity with historical results * Continuing operations and adjusted results including and excluding merger and integration costs and the gain on the sale of the Retail Business. The Company believes that providing supplemental adjusted non-GAAP financial information is useful to investors in understanding the underlying operating performance of the Company and its businesses and performance trends, particularly in view of the materiality and strategic significance of the JPMorgan Chase transaction. By combining the results of continuing and discontinued operations and excluding merger and integration costs and the gain on the sale of the Retail Business, the Company believes investors can gain greater insight into the operating performance of the Company in relation to historic results. Although the Company believes that the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this report enhance investors' understanding of the Company's business and performance, these non-GAAP measures should not be considered an alternative to GAAP. 19 APPENDIX -------- Supplemental Information (Page 2 of 4) THE BANK OF NEW YORK COMPANY, INC.
