Positive
EPS Increase Quarter-over-Quarter: Our third quarter EPS was $2.26 as compared to $1.25 in the year-ago period.
Earnings and ROE Growth: We delivered strong earnings growth of 17% year-over-year with record quarterly EPS, while 3Q ROE was a strong 12%.
Strong Revenue and Earnings Growth: We achieved robust fee and total revenue growth and generated positive fee and total operating leverage in 3Q, which, when combined with increased capital return quarter-on-quarter, drove strong earnings growth for our shareholders on both the year-over-year and sequential basis.
Strong AUC/A Revenue Wins: We generated strong AUC/A wins of $466 billion, with new servicing fee revenue wins of $84 million, the highest quarter this year.
Alpha Mandate Success: We reported two new Alpha mandates in 3Q, with Alpha accounting for the vast majority of our AUC/A wins this quarter, as State Street was awarded as significant mandate by a premier large global asset manager.
Negative
Dynamic Market Conditions: Operating environment in the third quarter was dynamic, with global equity and fixed income markets moving notably higher, but the world's investors faced a number of risk-off events in 3Q, including fears of a U.S. recession, the unwinding of the carry trade, concerns over tech valuations and continued geopolitical tensions.
Record AUC/A and AUM Growth: The third quarter period-end AUC/A and AUM increased to record levels, supported by both equity and bond market tailwinds as well as strong client flows.
Record Quarterly EPS Growth: The third quarter EPS was $2.26 as compared to $1.25 in the year-ago period, excluding notable items, we delivered strong earnings growth of 17% year-over-year with record quarterly EPS, while 3Q ROE was a strong 12%.
Expense Increase Analysis: The third quarter expenses increased by 6% year-over-year, primarily driven by higher performance-based compensation and revenue-related costs, which were worth about half of the increase, as well as important investments in products, technology and infrastructure.
Servicing Fees Increase: The third quarter servicing fees increased 3% year-over-year, as higher average market levels and new business were partially offset by pricing headwinds and previously disclosed client transition and lower client activity.
