ITEM 2.02. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION.
On January 17, 2008, the Registrant conducted a conference call and webcast with respect to results of operations for full year 2007 and fourth quarter 2007 for The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation. In conjunction with the conference call and webcast, the Registrant made available on its website, beginning on January 17, 2008, a Quarterly Earnings Summary. The Quarterly Earnings Summary is included as Exhibit 99.1 to this report, is “furnished” pursuant to General Instruction B.2. of Form 8-K, is not “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and is not incorporated by reference into any filings the Registrant has made or may make under the Securities Act of 1933.
ITEM 9.01. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS.
Exhibit 99.1 to this report contains information which may be considered to constitute “non-GAAP financial measures” as defined in Item 10 of Regulation S-K. The Registrant’s management believes that these measures are useful to the investment community in analyzing the financial results and trends of ongoing operations. Management believes that they facilitate comparisons with prior periods and reflect the principal basis on which management monitors financial performance. These non-GAAP items are also excluded from the Registrant’s segment measures used internally to evaluate segment performance in accordance with GAAP because management does not consider them particularly relevant or useful in evaluating the operating performance of our business segments.
