State Street Corporation (NYSE: STT) today announced its
preliminary stress capital buffer (SCB) requirement of 2.5%,
effective October 1, 2022, and the intention to increase its
quarterly common stock dividend by 10% to $0.63 per share in the
third quarter, subject to consideration and approval by its Board
of Directors.
State Street’s calculated SCB under this year’s supervisory
stress test was well below the 2.5% minimum, preliminarily
resulting in an SCB at that floor, which maintains our common
equity tier 1 (CET1) ratio requirement at 8%1. The firm’s capital
position is strong and in the fourth quarter of 2022 it remains the
Company’s intention to again begin its existing common share
repurchase program in an amount reflecting interest rate levels and
market conditions at the time.
“Our strong performance under the 2022 annual CCAR stress test
underscores the resiliency of our balance sheet and the strength of
our capital position under stress. We are pleased to announce
another planned increase to our quarterly common dividend this
year, demonstrating confidence in our operating model and our focus
on returning capital to shareholders,” said Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer Ron O’Hanley.
State Street’s Board of Directors will consider the common stock
dividend at a regularly scheduled board meeting in the third
quarter of 2022. State Street’s third quarter 2022 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.
As previously disclosed, stock purchases under State Street’s
existing common share repurchase program are presently suspended.
When the stock purchase program is in effect, stock purchases 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 will depend on several factors, including State
Street’s capital position and financial performance, investment
opportunities, market conditions and the amount of common stock
issued as part of employee compensation programs. The common stock
purchase program does not have specific price targets and may be
suspended, as it is presently, at any time.
The Company also announced today the results of its 2022 annual
stress test, with its disclosure available on the Investor
Relations section of its website at
http://investors.statestreet.com.
Consistent with section 165 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform
and Consumer Protection Act, the results of State Street’s 2022
annual stress test released today are based on the supervisory
severely adverse scenario and incorporate prescribed Dodd-Frank
capital actions. State Street, like other institutions covered by
the provisions of section 165 of the Dodd-Frank Act, is required to
conduct company-run stress tests annually under its own methodology
and to disclose summary results of those company-run stress tests
under the severely adverse scenario.
This release follows the earlier announcement of the Federal
Reserve’s supervisory stress test results for covered institutions,
including State Street, based on its own methodology. Those results
can be found at https://www.federalreserve.gov.

initiatives and developments, and the business environment.

those statements should not be relied upon as representing our
expectations or beliefs as of any time subsequent to the time this
News Release is first issued.
Important factors that may affect future results and outcomes
include, but are not limited to:
- The consummation of our proposed acquisition of the BBH
Investor Services business is subject to the receipt of regulatory
approvals and the satisfaction of other closing conditions, the
failure or delay of which may prevent or delay the consummation of
the acquisition; while we are evaluating potential modifications to
the transaction that are intended to facilitate resolution of the
bank regulatory review, there can be no assurance as to the timing
or outcome of that review;
- Even if we successfully consummate our proposed acquisition of
the BBH Investor Services business, we may fail to realize some or
all of the anticipated benefits of the transaction or the benefits
may take longer to realize than expected;
- We are subject to intense competition, which could negatively
affect our profitability;
- We are subject to significant pricing pressure and variability
in our financial results and our AUC/A and AUM;
- Our development and completion of new products and services,
including State Street Digital or State Street Alpha, and the
enhancement of our infrastructure required to meet increased
regulatory and client expectations for resiliency and the systems
and process re-engineering necessary to achieve improved
productivity and reduced operating risk, may involve costs and
dependencies and expose us to increased risk;
- Our business may be negatively affected by our failure to
update and maintain our technology infrastructure;
- The COVID-19 pandemic continues to exacerbate certain risks and
uncertainties for our business;
- Acquisitions, strategic alliances, joint ventures and
divestitures, and the integration, retention and development of the
benefits of our acquisitions, pose risks for our business; and
- Competition for qualified members of our workforce is intense,
and we may not be able to attract and retain the highly skilled
people we need to support our business;
- We could be adversely affected by geopolitical, economic and
market conditions; including, for example, as a result of the
present war in Ukraine;
- We have significant International operations, and disruptions
in European and Asian economies could have an adverse effect on our
consolidated results of operations or financial condition;
- Our investment securities portfolio, consolidated financial
condition and consolidated results of operations could be adversely
affected by changes in the financial markets;
- Our business activities expose us to interest rate risk;
- We assume significant credit risk to counterparties, who may
also have substantial financial dependencies with other financial
institutions, and these credit exposures and concentrations could
expose us to financial loss;
- Our fee revenue represents a significant portion of our
consolidated revenue and is subject to decline based on, among
other factors, market and currency declines, investment activities
of our clients and their business mix;
- If we are unable to effectively manage our capital and
liquidity, our consolidated financial condition, capital ratios,
results of operations and business prospects could be adversely
affected;
- We may need to raise additional capital or debt in the future,
which may not be available to us or may only be available on
unfavorable terms;
- If we experience a downgrade in our credit ratings, or an
actual or perceived reduction in our financial strength, our
borrowing and capital costs, liquidity and reputation could be
adversely affected;
- Our business and capital-related activities, including common
share repurchases, may be adversely affected by capital and
liquidity standards required as a result of capital stress
testing;
- We face extensive and changing government regulation in the
jurisdictions in which we operate, which may increase our costs and
compliance risks;
- We are subject to enhanced external oversight as a result of
the resolution of prior regulatory or governmental matters;
- Our businesses may be adversely affected by government
enforcement and litigation;
- Any misappropriation of the confidential information we possess
could have an adverse impact on our business and could subject us
to regulatory actions, litigation and other adverse effects;
- Our calculations of risk exposures, total RWA and capital
ratios depend on data inputs, formulae, models, correlations and
assumptions that are subject to change, which could materially
impact our risk exposures, our total RWA and our capital ratios
from period to period;
- Changes in accounting standards may adversely affect our
consolidated financial statements;
- Changes in tax laws, rules or regulations, challenges to our
tax positions and changes in the composition of our pre-tax
earnings may increase our effective tax rate;
- The transition away from LIBOR may result in additional costs
and increased risk exposure;
- Our control environment may be inadequate, fail or be
circumvented, and operational risks could adversely affect our
consolidated results of operations;
- Cost shifting to non-U.S. jurisdictions and outsourcing may
expose us to increased operational risk, geopolitical risk and
reputational harm and may not result in expected cost savings;
- Attacks or unauthorized access to our information technology
systems or facilities, or those of the third parties with which we
do business, or disruptions to our or their continuous operations,
could result in significant costs, reputational damage and impacts
on our business activities;
- Long-term contracts expose us to pricing and performance
risk;
- Our businesses may be negatively affected by adverse publicity
or other reputational harm;
- We may not be able to protect our intellectual property;
- The quantitative models we use to manage our business may
contain errors that could result in material harm;

clients incur substantial losses or are restricted in redeeming

risks, could adversely affect us; and

terrorist attacks, natural disasters, the emergence of a new
pandemic or acts of embezzlement.

reflect events after that time.
