State Street Corporation Declares Third-Quarter Dividend on its Common Stock and Authorization to Repurchase up to $3.0 Billion of Common Stock

State Street Corporation (NYSE: STT) today announced its third quarter 2021 cash dividend of $0.57 per share of common stock, an increase of 10% from $0.52 per share of common stock in the prior quarter. The dividend is payable on October 12, 2021 to common shareholders of record at the close of business on October 1, 2021.

Additionally, State Street’s Board of Directors has approved a new common stock purchase program, authorizing the purchase of up to $3.0 billion of its common stock over the six quarters beginning in the third quarter of 2021 and continuing through the fourth quarter of 2022.

“As we continue to invest in our business for future growth, the SCB framework provides us with increased flexibility to deploy our capital,” said Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Ron O’Hanley. “The continued strength of our balance sheet, coupled with our solid performance under this year’s annual stress test, has positioned us well to increase our dividend and announce a new common stock repurchase program,” O’Hanley added.

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 investment opportunities, State Street’s capital position, its financial performance, 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 at any time.

  • The COVID-19 pandemic continues to create significant 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;
  • The integration of CRD may be more difficult, costly or time consuming than expected, and the anticipated benefits and cost synergies may not be fully realized;
  • 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;

  • 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, the investment activities of our clients;
  • 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;

  • Our businesses may be adversely affected by government enforcement and litigation;
  • We are subject to various legal proceedings relating to the manner in which we have invoiced certain expenses, and the outcome of which could materially adversely affect our results of operations or harm our business or reputation;
  • 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 and reputational harm and may not result in expected cost savings;
  • If we, or the third parties with which we do business, experience failures, attacks or unauthorized access to our or their respective information technology systems or facilities, or disruptions to our continuous operations, this could result in significant costs, reputational damage and limits on our business activities;
  • Long-term contracts expose us to pricing and performance risk;
