TOTAL REVENUE, up 13%
"The strength of our third-quarter results demonstrates continued momentum and disciplined execution across our global franchises. We generated record quarterly Servicing and Management fees as well as record FX client volumes, reflecting the strength of our client relationships and the breadth of our capabilities. This performance drove our eleventh consecutive quarter of year-over-year positive operating leverage, excluding notable items, resulting in pre-tax margin expansion to approximately 35%."
O'Hanley continued: "Importantly, we progressed our strategic growth initiatives. In 3Q, we won our first Wealth Services mandate with one of the largest registered investment advisors in the United States. Building on an existing Charles River relationship, this mandate demonstrates One State Street in action, leveraging our shared client base, integrated capabilities, and unified coverage model to deepen relationships, expand our addressable market, and drive future growth."
O'Hanley concluded: "We enter the final quarter of the year with strong momentum, a clear strategy, and confidence in our ability to deliver against our medium-term targets while continuing to create long-term value for shareholders."

IN THIS NEWS RELEASE:
•In addition to presenting State Street's financial results in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, management also presents certain financial information on a basis that excludes or adjusts one or more items from GAAP. This latter basis is a non-GAAP presentation. In general, our non-GAAP financial results adjust selected GAAP-basis financial results to exclude the impact of revenue and expenses outside of State Street's normal course of business or other notable items, such as acquisition and restructuring charges, repositioning charges, gains/losses on sales, as well as, for selected comparisons, seasonal items. For example, we sometimes present expenses on a basis we may refer to as "expenses ex-notable items", which exclude notable items and, to provide additional perspective on both prior year quarter and sequential quarter comparisons, may also exclude seasonal items. There were no notable items in any of 3Q26, 2Q26, or 3Q25. Management believes that this presentation of financial information facilitates an investor's further understanding and analysis of State Street's financial performance and trends with respect to State Street's business operations from period-to-period, including providing additional insight into our underlying margin and profitability. In addition, Management may also provide additional non-GAAP measures. For example, we may sometimes present ratios, such as return on tangible common equity, based on an adjusted common shareholder equity metric, "tangible common equity", which reflects a reduction (net of deferred taxes) for goodwill and other intangible assets, as we believe this presentation provides additional context about our use of equity. As an additional example, we may present revenue and expense measures on a constant currency basis to identify the significance of changes in foreign currency exchange rates (which often are variable) in period-to-period comparisons. This presentation represents the effects of applying prior period weighted average foreign currency exchange rates to current period results. Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or superior to, financial measures determined in conformity with GAAP. Refer to the Addendum included with this News Release for reconciliations of our non-GAAP financial information. To access the Addendum go to http://investors.statestreet.com and click on "Filings & Reports - Quarterly Results".
•Stock purchases under our common stock repurchase programs may be made using various types of transactions, including open-market purchases, accelerated share repurchases or other transactions off the market, and may be made under Rule 10b5-1 trading programs. The timing and amount of any stock purchases and the type of transaction may not be consistent over the duration of the program, may vary from reporting period to reporting period and will depend on several factors, including our capital position and financial performance, investment opportunities, market conditions, regulatory considerations including the nature and timing of implementation of revisions to the Basel III framework, and the amount of common stock issued as part of employee compensation programs. The common share repurchase programs do not have specific price targets and may be suspended at any time. State Street's common stock and other stock dividends, including the declaration, timing and amount, remain subject to consideration and approval by State Street's Board of Directors at the relevant times.
•Servicing fee revenue wins (i.e., "sales") and backlog (i.e., "to be installed") represents estimates of future annual revenue associated with new servicing engagements State Street determines to be won during the current reporting period, which may include anticipated servicing-related revenues associated with acquisitions or structured transactions, based upon factors assessed at the time the engagement is determined by State Street to be won, including asset volumes, number of transactions, accounts and holdings, terms and expected strategy. These and other relevant factors influencing projected servicing fees upon asset implementation/onboarding will change from time to time prior to, upon and following asset implementation/onboarding, among other reasons, due to varying market levels and factors and client and investor activity and preferences. Servicing fee/backlog estimates are not updated to reflect those changes, regardless of the magnitude or direction of, or reason for, any change. Servicing fee revenue wins in any period include estimated fees attributable to both (1) services to be provided for new estimated AUC/A reflected in new investment servicing wins for the period (with AUC/A to be onboarded in the future) and (2) additional services to be provided for AUC/A already included in our end-of period AUC/A (i.e., for which other services are currently provided); and the magnitude of one source of servicing fee revenue wins relative to the other (i.e., (1) relative to (2)) will vary from period to period. Therefore, for these and other reasons, comparisons of estimated servicing fee revenue wins to estimated new investment servicing AUC/A wins for any period will not produce reliable fee per AUC/A estimates. No servicing fees are recognized until the point in the future when we begin performing the associated services with respect to the relevant AUC/A. Both AUC/A and servicing fee revenue, when presented on a "backlog" or "to be installed" basis, are presented as of period-end. See also the succeeding two bullets in this "In This News Release" section in reference to considerations applicable to pending servicing engagements, which similarly apply to engagements for which reported servicing fee revenue wins/backlog are attributable.
•New investment servicing mandates, including announced Alpha front-to-back investment servicing clients, may be subject to completion of definitive agreements, consents or assignments, approval of applicable boards and shareholders, customary regulatory approvals or other conditions, the failure to complete any of which will prevent the relevant mandate from being installed and serviced. New investment servicing mandates and servicing assets/fees remaining to be installed in future periods exclude new business which has been contracted, but for which the client has not yet provided permission to publicly disclose or anonymously disclose and is not yet installed. These excluded assets, which from time to time may be significant, will be included in new investment servicing mandates and reflected in servicing assets/fees remaining to be installed in the period in which the client provides its permission. Servicing mandates, servicing assets remaining to be installed in future periods and servicing fee revenues remaining to be installed in future periods are presented on a gross basis based on factors present on or about the time we determine
10
the business to be won by us and are not updated based on subsequent developments, including changes in assets, market valuations, scope and, potentially termination. Such assets therefore also do not include the impact of clients who have notified us during the period of their intent to terminate or reduce their relationship with State Street, which from time to time may be significant.
•New business in assets to be serviced is reflected in our AUC/A after we begin servicing the assets, and new business in assets to be managed is reflected in our AUM after we begin managing the assets. As such, only a portion of any new investment servicing and investment management mandates may be reflected in our AUC/A and AUM as of any particular date specified. AUC/A values for certain asset classes are based on a lag, typically one-month. Generally, our servicing fee revenues are affected by several factors, and we provide varied services from our full suite of offerings to different clients. The basis for fees will also differ across regions and clients and can reflect pricing pressures traditionally experienced in our industry. Consequently, no assumption should be drawn as to future revenue run rate from announced servicing wins or new servicing business yet to be installed, as the amount of revenue associated with AUC/A can vary materially. Management fees also are generally affected by various factors, including investment product type and strategy and relationship pricing for clients, and are more sensitive to market valuations than are servicing fees. Therefore, no assumption should be drawn from management fees associated with changes in AUM levels. Levels of AUC/A, AUC/A to be installed, Servicing fee wins to be installed and AUM are always presented as of the end of the relevant period, unless otherwise specifically noted.
•Software services ARR, an operating metric, is calculated by annualizing the revenue from the last month of the relevant quarter for CRD and CRD for Private Markets and includes the annualized amount of most Software and data revenue, including revenue generated from SaaS, maintenance and support revenue, FIX, and value-added services, which are all expected to be recognized ratably over the term of client contracts. ARR does not include Software and data brokerage revenue, revenue from affiliates and licensing fees (excluding the portion allocated to maintenance and support) from On-premises software. This reflects a change in presentation which previously calculated those revenues by annualizing the revenue for the relevant quarter (as opposed to the revenue for the last month of the relevant quarter). Prior period amounts have been recast to conform to the current calculation. Software services ARR was $410 million, $433 million, and $442 million in 3Q25, 2Q26, and 3Q26, respectively.
•Revenue and pre-tax income reflects the application of ASC 606. Revenue recognition under ASC 606 results in the acceleration of a significant portion of revenues for On-premises software agreements when a client goes live or renews their contract with us. The amount of revenue recognized in any given quarter will be driven in large part by client activity, including agreements that renew or are installed in that quarter.
