MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


GENERAL
State Street Corporation, referred to as the Parent Company, is a financial holding company organized in 1969 under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Our executive offices are located at One Lincoln Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02111 (telephone (617) 786-3000). For purposes of this Form 10-Q, unless the context requires otherwise, references to “State Street,” “we,” “us,” “our” or similar terms mean State Street Corporation and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis. The Parent Company is a source of financial and managerial strength to our subsidiaries. Through our subsidiaries, including our principal banking subsidiary, State Street Bank, we provide a broad range of financial products and services to institutional investors worldwide, with $31.04 trillion of AUCA and $2.61 trillion of AUM as of June 30, 2017.
As of June 30, 2017, we had consolidated total assets of $238.27 billion, consolidated total deposits of $181.42 billion, consolidated total shareholders' equity of $22.07 billion and 35,606 employees. We operate in more than 100 geographic markets worldwide, including in the U.S., Canada, Europe, the Middle East and Asia.
Our operations are organized into two lines of business, Investment Servicing and Investment Management, which are defined based on products and services provided.
Additional information about our lines of business is provided in “Line of Business Information” in this Management's Discussion and Analysis and Note 17 to the consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q.
This Management's Discussion and Analysis is part of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2017, and updates the Management's Discussion and Analysis in our 2016 Form 10-K previously filed with the SEC. You should read the financial information contained in this Management's Discussion and Analysis and elsewhere in this Form 10-Q in conjunction with the financial and other information contained in our 2016 Form 10-K. Certain previously reported amounts presented in this Form 10-Q have been reclassified to conform to current-period presentation.
We prepare our consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions in its application of certain accounting policies that materially affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, equity, revenue and expenses.
 
The significant accounting policies that require us to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that are difficult, subjective or complex about matters that are uncertain and may change in subsequent periods include:
accounting for fair value measurements;
other-than-temporary impairment of investment securities;
impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets; and
contingencies.
These significant accounting policies require the most subjective or complex judgments, and underlying estimates and assumptions could be subject to revision as new information becomes available. For additional information about these significant accounting policies, refer to pages 119 - 122, “Significant Accounting Estimates” included under Item 7, Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, in our 2016 Form 10-K. We did not change these significant accounting policies in the first six months of 2017.
Certain financial information provided in this Form 10-Q, including in this Management's Discussion and Analysis, is prepared on both a U.S. GAAP, or reported basis, and a non-GAAP basis, including certain non-GAAP measures used in the calculation of identified regulatory ratios. We measure and compare certain financial information on a non-GAAP basis, including information (such as capital ratios calculated under regulatory standards scheduled to be effective in the future) that management uses in evaluating our business and activities.
Non-GAAP financial information should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for or superior to, financial information prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP. Any non-GAAP financial information presented in this Form 10-Q, including this Management’s Discussion and Analysis, is reconciled to its most directly comparable currently applicable regulatory ratio or U.S. GAAP-basis measure.
We further believe that our presentation of fully taxable-equivalent NII, a non-GAAP measure, which reports non-taxable revenue, such as interest income associated with tax-exempt investment securities, on a fully taxable-equivalent basis, facilitates an investor's understanding and analysis of our underlying financial performance and trends.
We provide additional disclosures required by applicable bank regulatory standards, including supplemental qualitative and quantitative information with respect to regulatory capital (including market

risk associated with our trading activities) and the liquidity coverage ratio, summary results of semi-annual State Street-run stress tests which we conduct under the Dodd-Frank Act, and resolution plan disclosures required under the Dodd-Frank Act. These additional disclosures are accessible on the “Investor Relations” section of our corporate website at www.statestreet.com.
We have included our website address in this report as an inactive textual reference only. Information on our website is not incorporated by reference into this Form 10-Q.
We use acronyms and other defined terms for certain business terms and abbreviations, as defined in the acronyms list and glossary following the consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q.
Forward-Looking Statements
This Form 10-Q, as well as other reports and proxy materials submitted by us under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, registration statements filed by us under the Securities Act of 1933, our annual report to shareholders and other public statements we may make, may contain statements (including statements in the Management's Discussion and Analysis included in such reports, as applicable) that are considered “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of U.S. securities laws, including statements about our goals and expectations regarding our business, financial and capital condition, results of operations, strategies, financial portfolio performance, dividend and stock purchase programs, outcomes of legal proceedings, market growth, acquisitions, joint ventures and divestitures, cost savings and transformation initiatives, client growth and new technologies, services and opportunities, as well as industry, regulatory, economic and market trends, initiatives and developments, the business environment and other matters that do not relate strictly to historical facts.
Terminology such as “plan,” “expect,” “intend,” “objective,” “forecast,” “outlook,” “believe,” “priority,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “seek,” “may,” “will,” “trend,” “target,” “strategy” and “goal,” or similar statements or variations of such terms, are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain such terms.
Forward-looking statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties, which change over time, are based on management's expectations and assumptions at the time the statements are made, and are not guarantees of future results. Management's expectations and assumptions, and the continued validity of the forward-looking statements, are subject to change due to a broad range of factors affecting the national and global economies, regulatory environment and the equity,
 
debt, currency and other financial markets, as well as factors specific to State Street and its subsidiaries, including State Street Bank. Factors that could cause changes in the expectations or assumptions on which forward-looking statements are based cannot be foreseen with certainty and include, but are not limited to:
the financial strength and continuing viability of the counterparties with which we or our clients do business and to which we have investment, credit or financial exposure, including, for example, the direct and indirect effects on counterparties of the sovereign-debt risks in the U.S., Europe and other regions;
increases in the volatility of, or declines in the level of, our NII, changes in the composition or valuation of the assets recorded in our consolidated statement of condition (and our ability to measure the fair value of investment securities) and the possibility that we may change the manner in which we fund those assets;
the liquidity of the U.S. and international securities markets, particularly the markets for fixed-income securities and inter-bank credits, and the liquidity requirements of our clients;
the level and volatility of interest rates, the valuation of the U.S. dollar relative to other currencies in which we record revenue or accrue expenses and the performance and volatility of securities, credit, currency and other markets in the U.S. and internationally; and the impact of monetary and fiscal policy in the United States and internationally on prevailing rates of interest and currency exchange rates in the markets in which we provide services to our clients;
the credit quality, credit-agency ratings and fair values of the securities in our investment securities portfolio, a deterioration or downgrade of which could lead to other-than-temporary impairment of the respective securities and the recognition of an impairment loss in our consolidated statement of income;
our ability to attract deposits and other low-cost, short-term funding, our ability to manage levels of such deposits and the relative portion of our deposits that are determined to be operational under regulatory guidelines and our ability to deploy deposits in a profitable manner consistent with our liquidity needs, regulatory requirements and risk profile;
the manner and timing with which the Federal Reserve and other U.S. and foreign regulators implement or reevaluate changes to the regulatory framework applicable to our operations, including implementation or

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

modification of the Dodd-Frank Act, the Basel III final rule and European legislation (such as the Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive, Undertakings for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities Directives and Markets in Financial Instruments Directive II); among other consequences, these regulatory changes impact the levels of regulatory capital we must maintain, acceptable levels of credit exposure to third parties, margin requirements applicable to derivatives, and restrictions on banking and financial activities. In addition, our regulatory posture and related expenses have been and will continue to be affected by changes in regulatory expectations for global systemically important financial institutions applicable to, among other things, risk management, liquidity and capital planning, resolution planning, compliance programs, and changes in governmental enforcement approaches to perceived failures to comply with regulatory or legal obligations;
our resolution plan, submitted to the Federal Reserve and FDIC in June 2017, may not be considered to be sufficient by the Federal Reserve and the FDIC, due to a number of factors, including, but not limited to, challenges we may experience in interpreting and addressing regulatory expectations, failure to implement remediation in a timely manner, the complexities of development of a comprehensive plan to resolve a global custodial bank and related costs and dependencies. If we fail to meet regulatory expectations to the satisfaction of the Federal Reserve and the FDIC in our resolution plan submission filed in June 2017 or any future submission, we could be subject to more stringent capital, leverage or liquidity requirements, or restrictions on our growth, activities or operations;
adverse changes in the regulatory ratios that we are required or will be required to meet, whether arising under the Dodd-Frank Act or the Basel III final rule, or due to changes in regulatory positions, practices or regulations in jurisdictions in which we engage in banking activities, including changes in internal or external data, formulae, models, assumptions or other advanced systems used in the calculation of our capital ratios that cause changes in those ratios as they are measured from period to period;
requirements to obtain the prior approval or non-objection of the Federal Reserve or other U.S. and non-U.S. regulators for the use, allocation or distribution of our capital or other specific capital actions or corporate activities, including,
 
without limitation, acquisitions, investments in subsidiaries, dividends and stock purchases, without which our growth plans, distributions to shareholders, share repurchase programs or other capital or corporate initiatives may be restricted;
changes in law or regulation, or the enforcement of law or regulation, that may adversely affect our business activities or those of our clients or our counterparties, and the products or services that we sell, including additional or increased taxes or assessments thereon, capital adequacy requirements, margin requirements and changes that expose us to risks related to the adequacy of our controls or compliance programs;
economic or financial market disruptions in the U.S. or internationally, including those which may result from recessions or political instability; for example, the U.K.'s decision to exit from the European Union may continue to disrupt financial markets or economic growth in Europe or, similarly, financial markets may react sharply or abruptly to actions taken by the new administration in the United States;
our ability to develop and execute State Street Beacon, our multi-year transformation program to digitize our business, deliver significant value and innovation for our clients and lower expenses across the organization, any failure of which, in whole or in part, may among other things, reduce our competitive position, diminish the cost-effectiveness of our systems and processes or provide an insufficient return on our associated investment;
our ability to promote a strong culture of risk management, operating controls, compliance oversight, ethical behavior and governance that meets our expectations and those of our clients and our regulators, and the financial, regulatory, reputation and other consequences of our failure to meet such expectations; the impact on our compliance and controls enhancement programs of the appointment of a monitor under the deferred prosecution agreement with the DOJ and compliance consultant expected to be appointed under a potential settlement with the SEC, including the potential for such monitor and compliance consultant to require changes to our programs or to identify other issues that require substantial expenditures, changes in our operations, or payments to clients or reporting to U.S. authorities;
the results of our review of our billing practices, including additional amounts we may be required to reimburse clients, as well as

potential consequences of such review, including damage to our client relationships and adverse actions by governmental authorities;
the results of, and costs associated with, governmental or regulatory inquiries and investigations, litigation and similar claims, disputes, or civil or criminal proceedings;
changes or potential changes in the amount of compensation we receive from clients for our services, and the mix of services provided by us that clients choose;
the large institutional clients on which we focus are often able to exert considerable market influence, and this, combined with strong competitive market forces, subjects us to significant pressure to reduce the fees we charge, to potentially significant changes in our assets under custody and administration or our assets under management in the event of the acquisition or loss of a client, in whole or in part, and to potentially significant changes in our fee revenue in the event a client re-balances or changes its investment approach or otherwise re-directs assets to lower- or higher-fee asset classes;
the potential for losses arising from our investments in sponsored investment funds;
the possibility that our clients will incur substantial losses in investment pools for which we act as agent, and the possibility of significant reductions in the liquidity or valuation of assets underlying those pools;
our ability to anticipate and manage the level and timing of redemptions and withdrawals from our collateral pools and other collective investment products;
the credit agency ratings of our debt and depositary obligations and investor and client perceptions of our financial strength;
adverse publicity, whether specific to State Street or regarding other industry participants or industry-wide factors, or other reputational harm;
our ability to control operational risks, data security breach risks and outsourcing risks, our ability to protect our intellectual property rights, the possibility of errors in the quantitative models we use to manage our business and the possibility that our controls will prove insufficient, fail or be circumvented;
our ability to expand our use of technology to enhance the efficiency, accuracy and reliability of our operations and our dependencies on information technology and our ability to control related risks, including cyber-crime and other threats to our information technology
 
infrastructure and systems (including those of our third-party service providers) and their effective operation both independently and with external systems, and complexities and costs of protecting the security of such systems and data;
our ability to grow revenue, manage expenses, attract and retain highly skilled people and raise the capital necessary to achieve our business goals and comply with regulatory requirements and expectations;
changes or potential changes to the competitive environment, including changes due to regulatory and technological changes, the effects of industry consolidation and perceptions of State Street as a suitable service provider or counterparty;
our ability to complete acquisitions, joint ventures and divestitures, including the ability to obtain regulatory approvals, the ability to arrange financing as required and the ability to satisfy closing conditions;
the risks that our acquired businesses and joint ventures will not achieve their anticipated financial and operational benefits or will not be integrated successfully, or that the integration will take longer than anticipated, that expected synergies will not be achieved or unexpected negative synergies or liabilities will be experienced, that client and deposit retention goals will not be met, that other regulatory or operational challenges will be experienced, and that disruptions from the transaction will harm our relationships with our clients, our employees or regulators;
our ability to recognize evolving needs of our clients and to develop products that are responsive to such trends and profitable to us, the performance of and demand for the products and services we offer, and the potential for new products and services to impose additional costs on us and expose us to increased operational risk;
changes in accounting standards and practices; and
changes in tax legislation and in the interpretation of existing tax laws by U.S. and non-U.S. tax authorities that affect the amount of taxes due.
Actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed in our forward- looking statements and from our historical financial results due to the factors discussed in this section and elsewhere in this Form 10-Q or disclosed in our other SEC filings. Forward-looking statements in

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following “Highlights” and “Financial Results” sections provide information related to significant events, as well as highlights of our consolidated financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 presented in Table 1: Overview of Financial Results. More detailed information about our consolidated financial results, including comparisons of our financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 to those for the quarter ended June 30, 2016 and for the six months ended June 30, 2017 to those for the six months ended June 30, 2016, is provided under “Consolidated Results of Operations,” which follows these sections. In this Management’s Discussion and Analysis, where we describe the effects of changes in foreign exchange rates, those effects are determined by applying applicable weighted average foreign exchange rates from the relevant 2016 period to the relevant 2017 results.
Highlights
EPS of $1.53 increased 4% in the second quarter of 2017 compared to $1.47 in the second quarter of 2016, reflecting growth in fee revenue driven by higher global equity markets, new business wins and higher client volumes, the contribution of the acquired GEAM operations and savings associated with State Street Beacon. The growth in EPS also reflected higher NII as a result of the higher market interest rates in the U.S., disciplined liability pricing and improvement of our liability mix. These increases were partially offset by restructuring costs of $62 million in the second quarter of 2017 as compared to $13 million in the second quarter of 2016.
Second quarter 2017 ROE of 12.6% increased 20 bps compared to 12.4% in the second quarter of 2016, reflecting strong earnings and capital return via stock purchases and dividend payouts, partially offset by the aforementioned restructuring charges.
Strength in equity markets and new business drove increases in both AUCA and AUM.
AUCA increased 12% in the second quarter of 2017 compared to the second quarter of 2016, primarily due to higher global equity markets, net new business and client flows. The AUCA growth contributed to revenue growth across the geographic regions we serve and across a range of products and client segments. In the second quarter of 2017, we secured new asset servicing mandates of approximately $135 billion. Our AUCA
 
pipeline of asset servicing mandates that have been won but not yet installed as of June 30, 2017 totaled approximately $370 billion.
AUM increased 13% in the second quarter of 2017 compared to the second quarter of 2016, primarily due to higher global equity markets, the impact of the acquired GEAM operations and positive ETF flows, partially offset by continuing institutional net outflows.
Additional information about AUCA and AUM is provided in "Servicing Fees" and "Management Fees," respectively, in "Line of Business - Investment Servicing" and "Line of Business - Investment Management," respectively, in this Management's Discussion and Analysis in this Form 10-Q.
We declared a quarterly common stock dividend of $0.38 per share, totaling approximately $142 million, in the second quarter of 2017, compared to $0.34 per share, totaling $133 million in the second quarter of 2016.
In the second quarter of 2017, we acquired approximately 2.7 million shares of common stock at an average per-share cost of $83.84 and an aggregate cost of approximately $227 million under the common stock purchase program approved by our Board in June 2016.
Subsequent to the Federal Reserve's June 2017 non-objection to our capital plan under its 2017 CCAR process, our Board approved a new common stock purchase program, authorizing the purchase of up to $1.4 billion of common stock from July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018 and, in July 2017, approved a third quarter quarterly common stock dividend of $0.42 per share, an increase of approximately 11% over the second quarter of 2017 quarterly common stock dividend.
Additional information with respect to our common stock purchase program and stock dividends are provided under "Capital" in "Financial Condition" in this Management's Discussion and Analysis in this Form 10-Q.
In May 2017, we issued $750 million of fixed-to-floating rate senior notes due on May 15, 2023.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Financial Results
Total revenue in the second quarter of 2017 increased 9% compared to the second quarter of 2016, reflecting growth in total fee revenue and NII. The increase was primarily due to higher global equity markets, the acquired GEAM business, higher market interest rates in the U.S. and net new business. The second quarter of 2016 also included a revenue reduction of $48 million to servicing fees related to reimbursements to our clients related to the manner in which we invoiced certain expenses to our clients, as further discussed within "Investment Servicing" in "Line of Business Information" in this Management's Discussion and Analysis.
Servicing fee revenue increased 8% in the second quarter of 2017 compared to the second quarter of 2016, primarily due to higher global equity markets, net new business and higher client volumes.
Management fee revenue increased 36% in the second quarter of 2017 compared to the second quarter of 2016, primarily due to approximately $72 million from the acquired GEAM business, higher global equity markets and higher revenue-yielding ETF flows.
Processing and other fee revenue decreased 68% in the second quarter of 2017 compared to the second quarter of 2016, primarily due to a pre-tax gain of approximately $53 million related to the sale of the WM/Reuters business in the second quarter of 2016 and unfavorable foreign exchange swap costs in the second quarter of 2017.
NII increased 10% in the second quarter of 2017 compared to the second quarter of 2016, primarily due to higher market interest rates in the U.S. and disciplined liability pricing as well as improved liability mix, partially offset by lower investment portfolio securities balances.
In the second quarter of 2017, we recorded restructuring charges of $62 million related to State Street Beacon, our multi-year transformation program to digitize our business, deliver significant value and innovation for our clients and lower expenses across the organization. We expect to achieve estimated annual pre-tax net run-rate expense savings of $550 million by the end of 2020, relative to 2015, all else equal, for full effect in 2021. We expect to generate at least $140 million in annual pre-tax expense savings in 2017. Actual expenses may
 
increase or decrease in the future due to other factors.
Total expenses increased 9% in the second quarter of 2017 compared to the second quarter of 2016, primarily driven by costs to support new business (including technology infrastructure), expenses associated with the acquired GEAM operations, increases in restructuring expenses related to State Street Beacon as well as incentive compensation and annual merit increases. The increases to total expenses were partially offset by savings associated with State Street Beacon.

Fee Revenue
Table 2: Total Revenue, provides the breakout of fee revenue for the quarters and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016.
Servicing and management fees collectively made up approximately 78% and 77% of total fee revenue in the second quarter and first six months of 2017, respectively, compared to approximately 75% and 76% in the second quarter and first six months of 2016, respectively. The level of these fees is influenced by several factors, including the mix and volume of our AUCA and our AUM, the value and type of securities positions held (with respect to assets under custody), the volume of portfolio transactions, and the types of products and services used by our clients, and is generally affected by changes in worldwide equity and fixed-income security valuations and trends in market asset class preferences.
Generally, servicing fees are affected by changes in daily average valuations of AUCA. Additional factors, such as the relative mix of assets serviced, the level of transaction volumes, changes in service level, the nature of services provided, balance credits, client minimum balances, pricing concessions, the geographical location in which services are provided and other factors, may have a significant effect on our servicing fee revenue.
Management fees are generally affected by changes in month-end valuations of AUM. Management fees for certain components of managed assets, such as ETFs, are affected by daily average valuations of AUM. Management fee revenue is more sensitive to market valuations than servicing fee revenue, as a higher proportion of the underlying services provided, and the associated management fees earned, are dependent on equity and fixed-income security valuations. Additional factors, such as the relative mix of assets managed, may have a significant effect on our management fee revenue. While certain management fees are directly determined by the values of AUM and the investment strategies employed, management fees may reflect other factors as well, including performance fee arrangements, as well as our relationship pricing for clients using multiple services.
Asset-based management fees for actively managed products are generally charged at a higher percentage of assets under management than for passive products. Actively managed products may also include performance fee arrangements which are recorded when the performance period is complete. Performance fees are generated when the performance of certain managed portfolios exceeds benchmarks specified in the management agreements. Generally, we experience more volatility

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

with performance fees than with more traditional management fees.
In light of the above, we estimate, using relevant information as of June 30, 2017 and assuming that all other factors remain constant, that:
A 10% increase or decrease in worldwide equity valuations, on a weighted average basis, over the relevant periods for which our servicing and management fees are calculated, would result in a corresponding change in our total servicing and management fee revenues of approximately 3%; and
A 10% increase or decrease in worldwide fixed income markets, on a weighted average basis, over the relevant periods for which our servicing and management fees are calculated, would result in a corresponding change in our total servicing and management fee revenues of approximately 1%.
 
See Table 3: Daily, Month-End and Quarter-End Equity Indices and Table 4: Quarter-End Debt Indices, for selected indices. While the specific indices presented are indicative of general market trends, the asset types and classes relevant to individual client portfolios can and do differ, and the performance of associated relevant indices can therefore differ from the performance of the indices presented.
Daily averages, month-end averages, and quarter-end indices demonstrate worldwide changes in equity and debt markets that affect our servicing and management fee revenue. Quarter-end indices affect the values of AUCA and AUM as of those dates. The index names listed in the table are service marks of their respective owners.

Net Interest Income
See Table 2: Total Revenue, for the breakout of interest income and interest expense for the quarters and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016.
NII is defined as interest income earned on interest-earning assets less interest expense incurred on interest-bearing liabilities. Interest-earning assets, which principally consist of investment securities, interest-bearing deposits with banks, repurchase agreements, loans and leases and other liquid assets, are financed primarily by client deposits, short-term borrowings and long-term debt.
 
Net interest margin represents the relationship between annualized fully taxable-equivalent NII and average total interest-earning assets for the period. It is calculated by dividing fully taxable-equivalent NII by average interest-earning assets. Revenue that is exempt from income taxes, mainly that earned from certain investment securities (state and political subdivisions), is adjusted to a fully taxable-equivalent basis using a federal statutory income tax rate of 35%, adjusted for applicable state income taxes, net of the related federal tax benefit.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

See Table 5: Average Balances and Interest Rates - Fully Taxable-Equivalent Basis, for the breakout of NII on a fully taxable-equivalent basis for the quarters and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016. NII on a fully taxable-equivalent basis increased in the second quarter of 2017 compared to the same period in 2016, as benefits due to a higher domestic rate environment and improvements in our liability mix were offset by lower investment portfolio securities balances and a smaller amount of discount accretion related to the asset-backed commercial paper conduits. Average balances in the second quarter of 2017 reflect management actions to reduce the usage of wholesale deposit funding of our balance sheet. Though average interest and non-interest bearing deposits were approximately $1.40 billion lower in the second quarter of 2017 compared to the second quarter of 2016, these management actions contributed to a $9.87 billion reduction in wholesale deposits and were offset by an increase in less expensive client deposits.
We recorded aggregate discount accretion in interest income of $6 million and $10 million for the second quarter and first six months of 2017, respectively, related to the assets we consolidated onto our balance sheet in 2009 from our asset-backed commercial paper conduits. Assuming that we hold the former conduit securities remaining in our investment portfolio until they mature or are sold, we expect to generate aggregate discount accretion in future periods of approximately $127 million over their remaining terms.
Changes in the components of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities are discussed in more detail below. Additional information about the components of interest income and interest expense is provided in Note 14 to the consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q.
Average total interest-earning assets were $2.59 billion lower in the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the same period in 2016, primarily due to a smaller investment portfolio.
Interest-bearing deposits with banks averaged $53.15 billion and $51.03 billion for the second quarter and first six months of 2017, respectively, compared to $51.08 billion and $49.82 billion for the same periods in 2016. These deposits reflected our maintenance of cash balances at the Federal Reserve, the ECB and other non-U.S. central banks.
Loans and leases averaged $21.07 billion and $20.61 billion for the second quarter and first six months of 2017, respectively, compared to $18.66 billion and $18.64 billion for the same periods in 2016. The increase in average loans and leases resulted from growth in loans to municipalities,
 
alternative financing, mutual fund lending, and continued investment in senior secured loans.

Average loans and leases also includes short-duration advances. The decline in the proportion of average short-duration advances to average loans and leases is primarily due to growth in the other segments of the loan and lease portfolio. Short-duration advances provide liquidity to clients in support of their investment activities.
Average other interest-earning assets increased to $23.14 billion and $22.88 billion for the second quarter and first six months of 2017, respectively, from $22.56 billion and $22.62 billion for the same periods in 2016. Our average other interest-earning assets, largely associated with our enhanced custody business, comprised approximately 12% of our average total interest-earning assets for both the second quarter and first six months of 2017, compared to approximately 11% and 12% of our average total interest-earning assets for the same periods in 2016. The enhanced custody business, which is our principal securities financing business for our custody clients, generates securities finance revenue. The NII earned on these transactions is generally lower than the interest earned on other alternative investments.
Aggregate average U.S. and non-U.S. interest-bearing deposits decreased to $125.16 billion and $123.05 billion for the second quarter and first six months of 2017, respectively, from $126.81 billion and $123.44 billion for the same periods in 2016. The relatively flat levels in the first six months of 2017 compared to the prior year period were a result of higher U.S. and non-U.S. client deposit levels during the year, offset by management's actions to reduce more expensive wholesale certificates of deposit. Future deposit levels will be influenced by the underlying asset servicing business, client deposit behavior, as well as market conditions, including the general levels of U.S. and non-U.S. interest rates.

Average other short-term borrowings declined to $1.32 billion and $1.33 billion for the second quarter and first six months of 2017, respectively, from $1.93 billion and $1.81 billion for the same periods in 2016, as bonds matured in the Tax-Exempt Investment program.
Average long-term debt increased to $11.52 billion and $11.47 billion for the second quarter and first six months of 2017, respectively, from $11.00 billion and $11.01 billion for the same periods in 2016. The increases primarily reflected the issuance of $1.5 billion of senior debt in May 2016 and $750 million of senior debt in May 2017, which was partially offset by the maturity of $400 million of senior debt in January 2016, $1.0 billion of senior debt in March 2016, and $450 million of senior debt in April 2017.
Average other interest-bearing liabilities were $5.36 billion and $5.30 billion for the second quarter and first six months of 2017, respectively, compared to $5.05 billion and $5.50 billion for the same periods in 2016, primarily the result of changes in the level of cash collateral received from clients in connection with our enhanced custody business, which is presented on a net basis in accordance with enforceable netting agreements.
Several factors could affect future levels of our NII and net interest margin, including the volume and mix of client liabilities; actions of various central banks; changes in U.S. and non-U.S. interest rates; changes in the various yield curves around the world; revised or proposed regulatory capital or liquidity standards, or interpretations of those standards; the amount of discount accretion generated by the former conduit securities that remain in our investment securities portfolio; the yields earned on securities purchased compared to the yields earned on securities sold or matured; changes in the type and amount of credit or other loans we extend; and changes in our enhanced custody business.
Based on market conditions and other factors, including regulatory requirements, we continue to reinvest the majority of the proceeds from pay-downs and maturities of investment securities in highly-rated securities, such as U.S. Treasury and agency securities, municipal securities, federal agency mortgage-backed securities and U.S. and non-U.S. mortgage- and asset-backed securities. The pace at which we continue to reinvest and the types of investment securities purchased will depend on the impact of market conditions, the implementation of regulatory standards, and other factors over time. We expect these factors and the levels of global interest rates to influence what effect our reinvestment program will have on future levels of our NII and net interest margin.

Compensation and employee benefits expenses increased 8% in the second quarter of 2017 compared to the same period of 2016, primarily due to increased costs to support new business, higher incentive compensation and annual merit increases, costs related to the acquired GEAM operations and regulatory initiatives, partially offset by State Street Beacon savings.
Compensation and employee benefits expenses increased 7% in the first six months of 2017 compared to the same period of 2016, primarily due to increased costs to support new business, higher incentive compensation and annual merit increases, costs related to the acquired GEAM operations and higher first quarter seasonal deferred incentive compensation expense for retirement-eligible employees in the first quarter of 2017 compared to

the first quarter of 2016. These increases were partially offset by State Street Beacon savings.
Headcount increased 9% in second quarter of 2017 compared to the same period of 2016. New business, including the impact of large client lift outs and new client ramp-ups, as well as regulatory initiatives and contractor conversions to full-time employees contributed to this growth. The growth was primarily within low cost locations. These increases were partially offset by reductions from State Street Beacon initiatives.
Information systems and communications expenses increased 5% in each of the second quarter and first six months of 2017 compared to the same periods of 2016. The increases were primarily related to State Street Beacon and investments supporting new business.
Other expenses increased 5% in the second quarter of 2017 compared to the same period of 2016. The increase was primarily due to higher security processing costs and professional services, partially offset by a release of litigation reserves in the second quarter of 2017.
Other expenses increased 11% in the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the same period in 2016. The increase was primarily due to higher securities processing costs and regulatory fees and assessments.
As a systemically important financial institution, we are subject to enhanced supervision and prudential standards. Our status as a G-SIB has also resulted in heightened prudential and conduct expectations of our U.S. and international regulators with respect to our capital and liquidity management and our compliance and risk oversight programs. These heightened expectations have increased our regulatory compliance costs, including personnel and systems, as well as significant additional implementation and related costs to enhance our regulatory compliance programs. We anticipate that these evolving regulatory compliance requirements and expectations will continue to affect our expenses.
Acquisition Costs
We recorded acquisition costs of $9 million and $7 million in the second quarter of 2017 and 2016, respectively, and $21 million and $14 million in the first six months of 2017 and 2016, respectively. Costs incurred in the second quarter and first six months of 2017 related to the acquired GEAM operations. For additional information about the GEAM acquisition, refer to page 132 in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements included under Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, in our 2016 Form 10-K.
 
Restructuring Charges
In October 2015, we announced State Street Beacon, a multi-year program to create cost efficiencies through changes in our operational processes and to further digitize our processes and interfaces with our clients. In connection with State Street Beacon, we expect to incur aggregate pre-tax restructuring charges of approximately $300 million to $400 million beginning in 2016 through December 31, 2020 to implement State Street Beacon. We estimate those charges will include approximately $250 million to $300 million in severance and benefits costs associated with targeted staff reductions (a substantial portion of which will result in future cash expenditures) and approximately $50 million to $100 million in information technology application rationalization and real estate actions. We expect to achieve estimated annual pre-tax net run-rate expense savings of $550 million by the end of 2020, relative to 2015, all else equal, for full effect in 2021. Actual expenses may increase or decrease in the future due to other factors.
In the second quarter and first six months of 2017, we recorded restructuring charges of $62 million and $79 million, respectively, compared to $13 million and $110 million in the same periods of 2016, primarily related to State Street Beacon.
The following table presents aggregate restructuring activity for the periods indicated.

Income Tax Expense
Income tax expense was $156 million in the second quarter of 2017 compared to $92 million in the second quarter of 2016. In the first six months of 2017 and 2016, income tax expense was $238 million and $154 million, respectively. Our effective tax rate for the second quarter and first six months of 2017 was 20.1% and 17.5%, respectively, compared to 12.9% and 13.5% for the same periods in 2016. The effective tax rate for the second quarter and first six months of 2017 reflect a decrease in alternative energy investments.
LINE OF BUSINESS INFORMATION

Total revenue, as presented in Table 9: Investment Servicing Line of Business Results, increased 6% and 4% in the second quarter and first six months of 2017, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2016 due to increases in servicing fees, trading services, securities finance and NII, offset by a decrease in processing fees and other revenue as further described below.
 
Total fee revenue increased 4% and 5% in the second quarter and first six months of 2017, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2016, primarily due to higher global equity markets, net new business and higher client volumes as well as growth in our enhanced custody business. The second quarter and first six months of 2016 included a revenue reduction of $48 million related to reimbursements to our clients related to the manner

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

in which we invoiced certain expenses to our clients as discussed below. The increases were partially offset by a pre-tax gain of approximately $53 million related to the sale of the WM/Reuters business in the second quarter of 2016.
NII increased 11% and 5% in the second quarter and first six months of 2017, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2016, as discussed under “Net Interest Income" in “Consolidated Results of Operations - Total Revenue" in this Management's Discussion and Analysis.
Total expenses increased 3% in the second quarter of 2017 compared to the same period in 2016, primarily due to increased costs to support new business (including technology infrastructure), incentive compensation and annual merit increases.
Total expenses increased 3% in the first six months of 2017 compared to the same period in 2016, primarily due to net new business (including technology infrastructure), incentive compensation and annual merit increases, regulatory initiatives and an increase of approximately $28 million associated with the first quarter seasonal deferred incentive compensation expense for retirement-eligible employees and payroll taxes.
The increases in total expenses were partially offset by savings related to State Street Beacon.
Additional information about expenses is provided under "Expenses" in this Management's Discussion and Analysis in this Form 10-Q.
In December 2015, we announced a review of the manner in which we invoiced certain expenses to certain of our Investment Servicing clients, primarily in the United States, during a period going back to 1998. We have informed our clients that we will pay to them the expenses we concluded were incorrectly invoiced to them, plus interest. The process of reimbursing clients these amounts is substantially complete. In conjunction with the review announced in December 2015, which is ongoing, we are implementing enhancements to our billing processes and reviewing the conduct of our employees and have taken appropriate steps to address conduct inconsistent with our standards, including, in some cases, termination of employment. We are also evaluating other aspects of invoicing relating to billing our Investment Servicing clients, including calculation of asset-based fees. Additional information about the invoicing matter is provided in Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q.
Servicing Fees
Servicing fees increased 8% and 6% in the second quarter and first six months of 2017, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2016,
 
primarily due to higher global equity markets, net new business and higher client volumes. The second quarter and first six months of 2016 included a revenue reduction of $48 million related to reimbursements to our clients related to the manner in which we invoiced certain expenses to our clients as further discussed above within "Investment Servicing" in our "Line of Business Information" section of this Management's Discussion and Analysis.
Servicing fees generated outside the U.S. was approximately 44% of total servicing fees in both the second quarter and first six months of 2017 compared to approximately 43% and 42% for the same periods in 2016, respectively.

(1) Geographic mix is based on the location in which the assets are serviced.
The increase in total AUCA as of June 30, 2017 compared to December 31, 2016 primarily resulted from higher global equity markets. Asset levels as of June 30, 2017 do not reflect the approximately $370 billion of new business in assets to be serviced, which was awarded to us in the first six months of 2017 and prior periods but not installed prior to June 30, 2017. This new business will be reflected in AUCA in future periods after installation and will generate servicing fee revenue in subsequent periods. This does not include the loss of business which occurs from time to time or changes in AUCA, usually from changes in market values of customer assets, subscriptions or redemptions from our customer investment products.

With respect to these new assets, we will provide various services, including, accounting, bank loan servicing, compliance reporting and monitoring, custody, depository banking services, foreign exchange, fund administration, hedge fund servicing, middle-office outsourcing, performance and analytics, private equity administration, real estate administration, securities finance, transfer agency, and wealth management services.
As a result of a decision to diversify providers, one of our large clients will move a portion of its assets, largely common trust funds, currently with State Street to another service provider. We expect to remain a significant service provider to this client. The transition will principally occur in 2018 and represents approximately $1 trillion in assets with respect to which we will no longer derive revenue post-transition.

Trading services revenue is composed of revenue generated by FX trading, as well as revenue generated by brokerage and other trading services as noted in Table 13: Trading Services Revenue.
 
Foreign Exchange Trading Revenue
We primarily earn FX trading revenue by acting as a principal market-maker. We offer a range of FX products, services and execution models. Most of our FX products and execution services can be grouped into three broad categories, which are further explained below: “direct sales and trading,” “indirect FX trading” and “electronic FX services.” With respect to electronic FX services, we provide an execution venue, but do not act as agent or principal.
We also offer a range of brokerage and other trading products tailored specifically to meet the needs of the global pension community, including transition management and commission recapture. These products and services are generally differentiated by our role as an agent of the institutional investor. Revenue earned from these services is recorded in other trading, transition management and brokerage revenue within brokerage and other trading services revenue.
Our FX trading revenue is influenced by multiple factors, including: the volume and type of client FX transactions and related spreads; currency volatility, reflecting market conditions; and our management of exchange rate, interest rate and other market risks associated with our foreign exchange activities. The relative impact of these factors on our total FX trading revenues often differs from period to period. For example, assuming all other factors remain constant, increases or decreases in volumes or spreads across product mix tend to result in increases or decreases, as the case may be, in client-related FX revenue. Revenue earned from direct sales and trading and indirect FX trading is recorded in FX trading revenue.
Total FX trading revenue increased 13% and 9% in the second quarter and first six months of 2017, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2016, primarily due to higher volumes. Total FX trading revenue comprises:
Direct sales and trading: We enter into FX transactions with clients and investment managers that contact our trading desk directly. These trades are all executed at negotiated rates. We refer to this activity, and our principal market-making activities, as “direct sales and trading” and it includes many transactions for funds serviced by third party custodians or prime brokers, as well as those funds under custody at State Street. Direct sales and trading revenue represents all of the FX trading revenue other than the revenue attributed to indirect FX trading. Direct sales and trading revenue represented 56% and 58% of total foreign exchange trading revenue in the second quarter and first six months of 2017, respectively,

State Street Corporation | 20


Table of Contents
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

compared to 55% and 57% for the same periods in 2016. Our direct sales and trading revenue increased by 15% and 12% in the second quarter and first six months of 2017, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2016. The increases were primarily due to higher volumes.
Indirect FX trading: Clients or their investment managers may elect to route FX transactions to our FX desk through our asset-servicing operation; we refer to this activity as “indirect FX trading” and, in all cases, we are the funds' custodian. We execute indirect FX trades as a principal at rates disclosed to our clients. Estimated indirect sales and trading revenue represented 44% and 42% of total foreign exchange trading revenue in the second quarter and first six months of 2017, respectively, compared to 45% and 43% for the same periods in 2016. We calculate revenue for indirect FX trading using an attribution methodology. This methodology takes into consideration estimated mark-ups/downs and observed client volumes. Our estimated indirect FX trading revenue increased 11% and 6% in the second quarter and first six months of 2017, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2016, primarily due to higher volumes.
Our clients that utilize indirect FX trading can, in addition to executing their FX transactions through dealers not affiliated with us, transition from indirect FX trading to either direct sales and trading execution, including our “Street FX” service, or to one of our electronic trading platforms. Street FX, in which we continue to act as a principal market-maker, enables our clients to define their FX execution strategy and automate the FX trade execution process, both for funds under custody with us as well as those under custody at another bank.
We continue to expect that some clients may choose, over time, to reduce their level of indirect FX trading transactions in favor of other execution methods, including either direct sales and trading transactions or electronic FX services which we provide. To the extent that clients shift to other execution methods that we provide, our FX trading revenue may decrease, even if volumes remain constant.
Total brokerage and other trading services revenue decreased 3% and 6% in the second quarter and first six months of 2017, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2016, primarily due to lower electronic foreign exchange trading revenue as well as the absence of revenue associated with the WM/
 
Reuters business, which we disposed of in the second quarter of 2016. Total brokerage and other trading services revenue comprises:
Electronic FX services: Our clients may choose to execute FX transactions through one of our electronic trading platforms. These transactions generate revenue through a “click” fee. Revenue from such electronic FX services decreased 9% and 8% in the second quarter and first six months of 2017, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2016.
Other trading, transition management and brokerage revenue: Revenue remained flat in the second quarter of 2017 compared to the same period in 2016. Revenue decreased 4% in the first six months of 2017 compared to the same period in 2016, primarily due to the disposition of the WM/Reuters business.
In recent years, our transition management revenue was adversely affected by compliance issues in our U.K. business during 2010 and 2011, including settlements with the FCA in 2014 and the DOJ in 2017, the latter including a deferred prosecution agreement. The reputational and regulatory impact of those compliance issues continues and may adversely affect our results in future periods. Information about contingencies is provided in Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q.
Securities Finance
Our securities finance business consists of three components:
(1) an agency lending program for SSGA-managed investment funds with a broad range of investment objectives, which we refer to as the SSGA lending funds;
(2) an agency lending program for third-party investment managers and asset owners, which we refer to as the agency lending funds; and
(3) security lending transactions which we enter into as principal, which we refer to as our enhanced custody business.
See Table 9: Investment Servicing Line of Business Results, for the comparison of securities finance revenue in the second quarter and first six months of 2017 compared to the same periods in 2016.
Securities finance revenue earned from our agency lending activities, which is composed of our split of both the spreads related to cash collateral and the fees related to non-cash collateral, is principally a function of the volume of securities on loan, the interest-rate spreads and fees earned on the underlying collateral, and our share of the fee split.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

As principal, our enhanced custody business borrows securities from the lending client and then lends such securities to the subsequent borrower, either a State Street client or a broker/dealer. We act as principal when the lending client is unable to, or elects not to, transact directly with the market and execute the transaction and furnish the securities. In our role as principal, we provide support to the transaction through our credit rating. While we source a significant proportion of the securities furnished by us in our role as principal from third parties, we have the ability to source securities through our assets under custody and administration from clients who have designated State Street as an eligible borrower.
Securities finance revenue increased 15% and 8% in the second quarter and first six months of 2017, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2016, primarily the result of higher revenue in our enhanced custody business.
Market influences may continue to affect client demand for securities finance, and as a result our revenue from, and the profitability of, our securities lending activities in future periods. In addition, the constantly evolving regulatory environment may affect the volume of our securities lending activity and related revenue and profitability in future periods.

 
Processing Fees and Other
Processing fees and other revenue includes diverse types of fees and revenue, including fees from our structured products business, fees from software licensing and maintenance, equity income from our joint venture investments, gains and losses on sales of leased equipment and other assets, derivative financial instruments to support our clients' needs and to manage our interest-rate and currency risk, and amortization of our tax-advantaged investments.
Processing fees and other revenue, presented in Table 9: Investment Servicing Line of Business Results, decreased 69% and 9% in the second quarter and first six months of 2017, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2016. The decrease in the second quarter of 2017 compared to the second quarter of 2016 is primarily due to a pre-tax gain of approximately $53 million related to the sale of WM/Reuters in the second quarter of 2016 as well as unfavorable foreign exchange swap costs in the second quarter of 2017. The decrease in the first six months of 2017 is primarily due to the aforementioned pre-tax gain on the sale of WM/Reuters in 2016, partially offset by a pre-tax gain of $30 million on the dispositions of our joint venture interests in IFDS U.K. and BFDS in the first quarter of 2017.

Total revenue, as presented in Table 14: Investment Management Line of Business Results, increased 36% and 39% in the second quarter and first six months of 2017, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2016, primarily due to approximately $72 million and $143 million, respectively, from the acquired GEAM operations, higher global equity markets and higher revenue-yielding ETF flows.
 
Total expenses increased 27% and 28% in the second quarter and first six months of 2017, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2016 primarily due to approximately $51 million and $102 million, respectively, in incremental costs related to the acquired GEAM operations, as well as higher incentive compensation and annual merit increases. These increases were partially offset by savings related to State Street Beacon.

Additional information about expenses is provided under "Expenses" in “Consolidated Results of Operations” in this Management's Discussion and Analysis in this Form 10-Q.
In July 2016, we completed our acquisition of GEAM, including $110 billion of acquired AUM. AUM associated with the acquired GEAM operations totaled $125 billion as of June 30, 2017, including the impact of global equity markets, assets from acquired clients and new business from these clients since the acquisition date. Our consolidated financial statements include the operating results for the acquired business from the date of acquisition, July 1, 2016.
Management Fees
Through SSGA, we provide a broad range of investment management strategies, specialized investment management advisory services, OCIO and other financial services for corporations, public funds, and other sophisticated investors. SSGA offers an array of investment management strategies, including passive and active, such as enhanced indexing, using quantitative and fundamental methods for both U.S. and global equity and fixed income securities. SSGA also offers ETFs, such as the SPDR® ETF brand. While certain management fees are directly determined by the values of assets under management and the investment strategies employed, management fees reflect other factors as well, including our relationship pricing for clients who use multiple services, and the benchmarks specified in the respective management agreements related to performance fees.
Management fees increased 35% and 38% in the second quarter and first six months 2017, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2016, primarily due to approximately $72 million and $143 million, respectively, from the acquired GEAM operations, higher global equity markets, and higher revenue-yielding ETF flows.
Management fees generated outside the U.S. was approximately 28% of total management fees in both the second quarter and first six months of 2017, respectively, compared to 34% and 35% in the same periods in 2016, respectively.
