FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

MELLON REPORTS RECORD FULL-YEAR AND FOURTH QUARTER 2000 RESULTS
--Launches strategic review of leasing and asset-based lending businesses--

PITTSBURGH, Jan. 16, 2001--Mellon Financial Corporation (NYSE: MEL) today announced record full-year 2000 diluted earnings per share of $2.03, an increase of 10 percent compared with $1.85 per share in 1999, which included 3 cents per share for the combined effect of nonrecurring items noted below. The Corporation also announced record fourth quarter 2000 diluted earnings per share of 52 cents, an increase of 11 percent compared with 47 cents per share in the fourth quarter of 1999. The earnings per share increases were achieved despite the impact of the previously-disclosed May 2000 expiration of a long-term mutual fund administration contract with a third party. Core business sectors' contribution to earnings per share, which excludes the revenues and related expenses from this contract as well as the impact of divestitures, and other non-core activity from all periods, increased 26 percent year over year and 25 percent quarter over quarter.

"Our fourth quarter and full year performances clearly demonstrate the continued successful execution of our strategy of investing in our high-growth, high-return businesses," said Martin G. McGuinn, Mellon chairman and chief executive officer. "Our efforts resulted in a 26 percent increase in core business sectors' contribution to earning per share in 2000 and achieving a top-10 year-end market capitalization ranking among U.S. banks. We're confident that continuing to implement this strategy will enable us to create even more value for our shareholders."

The Corporation also declared a regular quarterly common dividend of 22 cents per share. This cash dividend is payable on Feb. 15, 2001, to shareholders of record at the close of business on Jan. 31, 2001.

Also today, the Corporation announced that as part of the continued sharpening of its strategic focus, it is conducting a review of Mellon Leasing Corporation businesses that serve mid-to-large corporations and vendors of small ticket equipment, along with Mellon Business Credit, which provides asset-based lending products. "The decision to conduct this strategic business review is not a reflection on the performance of these businesses, which are doing well," McGuinn said. "This is consistent with our continued review of our business mix to produce the growth and returns that will make us the best performing financial services company."

Note: During 2000, the Corporation made several reclassifications from its Core Business sectors to reflect exit and realignment strategies relating to certain businesses. In the fourth quarter of 2000, the Corporation reclassified the results of its consumer loan production offices, auto dealer financial services and purchased consumer loan portfolios from Regional Consumer Banking and the results of its large ticket leasing business from Specialized Commercial Banking to Divestitures/Exit Businesses, a non-core business sector. In the second quarter of 2000, the Corporation realigned its jumbo residential mortgage origination business to focus primarily on existing private client relationships. The jumbo mortgage lending results, previously a part of Wealth Management, were also reclassified to Divestitures/Exit Businesses. In addition, in the fourth quarter of 2000, the Corporation reclassified Mellon Ventures from Specialized Commercial Banking to Other Activity. Prior year results have been reclassified.

Note: The pretax operating margin was impacted by the fourth quarter 2000 reclassification of trust-preferred securities as an interest-bearing liability. The related expense was reclassified to interest expense from operating expense. Prior year margins have been recalculated.

The results in 2000 for the return sectors continue to demonstrate the Corporation's strategy of driving profitability and higher returns on equity, primarily focusing on improving productivity through re-engineering and effective capital management. The Corporation aggressively manages capital levels in the return sectors. Average allocated equity decreased $171 million in 2000, and the return on common equity increased to 20%, up from 17% in 1999. The pretax operating margin in 2000 was 42%, unchanged from 1999. Credit losses in the return sectors consumed $61 million, or 3.9%, of revenue in 2000 compared with $40 million, or 2.6%, in 1999. The cash management business line, which is included in the Large Corporate Banking sector, continued to produce strong results. The cash management business line's revenue improved by $51 million, or 16%, in 2000 compared to 1999, and income before taxes improved by $24 million, or 33%, in 2000 compared to 1999.

Mellon Ventures, the Corporation's venture capital group, recorded a pre-tax loss of $12 million in the fourth quarter of 2000 compared with income before taxes of $5 million in the prior-year period, and a pre-tax loss of $1 million in the full-year 2000 compared with income before taxes of $14 million in the full-year 1999. As discussed in the note to the table on the prior page, the venture capital group's results were reclassified from the Specialized Commercial Banking sector to Other Activity in the fourth quarter of 2000.

As discussed on page 2, the Corporation is conducting a strategic review of Mellon Leasing Corporation businesses that serve mid-to-large corporations and vendors of small ticket equipment, along with Mellon Business Credit, which provides asset-based lending products. These business lines are included in the Specialized Commercial Banking sector. For the full-year 2000, these businesses generated total revenue of $115 million and income before tax of $41 million, after the amortization of goodwill of $15 million, with average loans totaling approximately $3 billion. Goodwill totaled $315 million at Dec. 31, 2000. Net credit losses for these businesses for the full-year 2000 totaled $13  million and nonperforming assets at Dec. 31, 2000 totaled $34 million. Excluding these business lines, the pretax operating margin, return on common equity and average allocated equity for the Specialized Commercial Banking sector would have been 55%, 25% and $602 million, respectively. In addition, excluding these business lines, the proportion of the core sector revenue between the growth sectors and the return sectors for 2000 would have been 63% and 37% and the proportion of core sector income before taxes would have been 59% and 41%. The contribution to earnings per share from the core business sectors for 2000, excluding these business lines, would have been $1.84, an increase of 27% compared to 1999.

Note: In the first quarter of 2000, various items previously reported in other fee revenue were reclassified to mutual fund administration and custody revenue in trust and investment fee revenue; cash management and deposit transaction charges; financing-related revenue; and equity investment revenue. In addition, net interest revenue was impacted by the fourth quarter 2000 reclassification of trust-preferred securities expense to interest expense from operating expense. Prior period amounts have been reclassified and the percentages of fee revenue and trust and investment fee revenue to net interest and fee revenue have been recalculated. For analytical purposes, the term "fee revenue," as utilized throughout this earnings release, is defined as total noninterest revenue less gains on the sales of securities and the net gain (loss) from divestitures.

Fee revenue

Fee revenue of $806 million in the fourth quarter of 2000 was impacted by the previously-disclosed May 2000 expiration of a long-term mutual fund administration contract with a third party, and the December 2000 acquisition of the remaining 50% interest in the ChaseMellon Shareholder Services joint venture, renamed Mellon Investor Services. Excluding these factors, fee revenue increased 7% in the fourth quarter of 2000, compared with the fourth quarter of 1999, due to a 9% increase in trust and investment fee revenue.

Fee revenue in the full-year 2000 totaled $3.150 billion, a $50 million increase compared with $3.100 billion for the full-year 1999. Excluding the effect of acquisitions and divestitures and the effect of the May 2000 expiration of the long-term mutual fund administration contract with a third party, fee revenue for the full-year 2000 increased 10% compared with the full-year 1999, due to a 13% increase in trust and investment fee revenue.

Investment management fee revenue

Investment management fee revenue increased $35 million, or 11%, in the fourth quarter of 2000, compared with the fourth quarter of 1999, and increased $146 million, or 13%, in the full-year 2000, compared with the full year 1999. The increase in the fourth quarter of 2000 compared to the fourth quarter of 1999 resulted from a $15 million, or 10%, increase in mutual fund management revenue; a $14 million, or 16%, increase in institutional asset management revenue; and a $6 million, or 9%, increase in private client asset management revenue. These increases resulted primarily from net new business. In addition, the increase in institutional asset management revenue primarily reflects a higher level of performance fees earned by investment managers as the investment performance of their products exceeded various benchmarks. The measurement period is generally annually, with revenue primarily recorded in the fourth and first quarters of each year.

Mutual fund management fees are based upon the average net assets of each fund. The average assets of proprietary mutual funds managed in the fourth quarter of 2000 were $145 billion, up $16 billion, or 13%, from $129 billion in the fourth quarter of 1999, and up $3 billion, or 2% unannualized, from $142 billion in the third quarter of 2000. The increase compared with the fourth quarter of 1999 resulted primarily from increases in average net assets of taxable money market funds and equity funds. Proprietary equity funds averaged $56 billion in the fourth quarter of 2000, a decrease of $3 billion, or 6%, compared with $59 billion in the third quarter of 2000, and an increase of $7  billion, or 13%, compared with $49 billion in the fourth quarter of 1999.

As shown in the table below, the market value of assets under management was $530 billion at Dec. 31, 2000, a $10 billion, or 2%, decrease from $540 billion at Sept. 30, 2000, and a $42 billion, or 9%, increase from $488 billion at Dec. 31, 1999. The decrease at Dec. 31, 2000, compared to Sept. 30, 2000, was primarily due to a decline in the equity markets in the fourth quarter of 2000. The equity markets, as measured by the Standard and Poor's 500 Index, decreased 8.1% in the fourth quarter of 2000 and 10.1% in the full-year 2000, while a key bond market benchmark, the Lehman Brothers Long-Term Government Bond Index, increased 7.3% in the fourth quarter of 2000 and 20.1% in the full-year 2000.

Administration and custody fee revenue

Administration and custody fee revenue increased $14 million, or 8%, in the fourth quarter of 2000 compared with the fourth quarter of 1999, and increased $61 million, or 10%, in the full-year 2000 compared to the full-year 1999. The increase in the fourth quarter of 2000, compared to the fourth quarter of 1999, resulted from a $38 million, or 39%, increase in institutional trust and custody revenue resulting from net new business and the December 2000 acquisition of the remaining 50% interest in Mellon Investor Services, which accounted for approximately half of the $38 million increase. Prior to the acquisition, the results of Mellon Investor Services had been accounted for under the equity method of accounting, with the net results recorded as trust and investment fee revenue. Beginning in December 2000, the gross fee revenue from this business is included in institutional trust and custody revenue. Mellon Investor Services generated approximately $240 million of gross fee revenue in full year 2000.

The $28 million, or 59%, decrease in mutual fund administration and custody fee revenue in the fourth quarter of 2000, compared with the fourth quarter of 1999, was primarily due to the May 2000 expiration of the long-term mutual fund administration contract with a third party. Fees from this contract totaled approximately $22 million pre-tax, or $.03 per common share, in the fourth quarter of 1999. Fees from this contract totaled approximately $37 million pre-tax, or $.045 per common share, in the full year 2000, compared with approximately $87 million pre-tax, or $.11 per common share, in the full year 1999.

(b) Assets administered by the Corporation under ABN AMRO Mellon, a strategic alliance of the Corporation and ABN AMRO, included in the table above, were $95 billion at Dec. 31, 2000; $84 billion at Sept. 30, 2000; $64 billion at June 30, 2000; $60 billion at March 31, 2000; and $58 billion at Dec. 31, 1999.

Benefits consulting fees generated by Buck Consultants decreased $2 million, or 2%, in the fourth quarter of 2000, compared with the fourth quarter of 1999. The level of benefits consulting fees in 2000 was negatively impacted by the contribution of pre-existing business to joint ventures. The $2 million, or 16%, decrease in brokerage fees in the fourth quarter of 2000 compared to the prior-year period primarily resulted from lower trading volumes in the volatile equities markets. Dreyfus Brokerage Services, Inc. averaged approximately 11,000 trades per day in the fourth quarter of 2000, compared with approximately 11,000 trades per day in the third quarter of 2000 and approximately 12,000 trades per day in the fourth quarter of 1999.

Cash management fees and deposit transaction charges increased $10 million, or 13%, in the fourth quarter of 2000, compared with the prior-year period, primarily resulting from higher volumes of business in cash management, especially in electronic services. Cash management fees do not include revenue from customers holding compensating balances on deposits in lieu of paying fees. The earnings on the compensating balances are recognized in net interest revenue. Foreign currency and securities trading revenue remained unchanged in the fourth quarter of 2000, compared with the prior-year period.

Financing-related and equity investment revenue totaled $63 million in the fourth quarter of 2000, compared with $64 million in the third quarter of 2000 and $72 million in the fourth quarter of 1999. Financing-related revenue, which primarily includes loan commitment fees; letters of credit and acceptance fees; loan securitization revenue; gains or losses on loan securitizations and sales; and gains or losses on lease residuals, increased $2  million in the fourth quarter of 2000 compared with the fourth quarter of 1999. Equity investment revenue, which includes realized and unrealized gains and losses on venture capital investments, decreased $11 million in the fourth quarter of 2000, compared with the fourth quarter of 1999, due to an increase in unrealized losses.

The $3 million of mortgage servicing fees in the fourth quarter of 2000 relates to the servicing of jumbo mortgages retained by the Corporation following the 1999 divestiture of the mortgage businesses.

Other revenue remained unchanged in the fourth quarter of 2000 compared with the prior-year period. The $61 million decrease in the full year 2000 compared with the full year 1999 primarily resulted from the divestiture of the credit card and network services businesses in 1999.

Fee and other revenue including gross joint venture fee revenue

The Corporation accounts for its interests in joint ventures under the equity method of accounting, with net results recorded primarily as trust and investment fee revenue. The gross joint venture fee revenue is not included in the reported fee revenue. Approximately 45% of the trust and investment gross joint venture fee revenue for the full-year 2000 presented in the table below is attributable to Mellon Investor Services. Following the December 2000 acquisition of the remaining 50% interest in the joint venture, this gross revenue began to be included in reported fee revenue. The table below presents the components of total fee and other revenue, including gross joint venture fee revenue.

(b) The gross joint venture fee revenue presented above is shown net of the equity income earned from the joint ventures.

Net gain (loss) from divestitures

In the fourth quarter of 1999, the Corporation recorded a $7 million pre-tax net loss from divestitures. The after-tax impact totaled $5 million, or approximately $.01 per common share. The net loss primarily resulted from an adjustment to the previous write-downs recorded for the residential mortgage servicing business. This loss was partially offset by an additional gain related to the divestiture of the network services transaction processing unit as more customers converted to the purchaser. Including the $134 million pre-tax net gain from divestitures recorded in the first nine months of 1999, the pre-tax net gain from divestitures for the full-year 1999, totaled $127 million.

(a)   Amounts and margins were impacted by the fourth quarter 2000 reclassification of trust-preferred securities as an interest-bearing liability. The related expense was reclassified to interest expense from operating expense. Prior period amounts have been reclassified and margins have been recalculated.

Net interest revenue on a fully taxable equivalent basis in the fourth quarter of 2000 increased $2 million, compared with the fourth quarter of 1999, reflecting improved spreads and the positive impact of interest-free funds in a higher rate environment, including compensating deposits held in lieu of customers paying cash management fees, partially offset by higher funding costs related to the repurchase of common stock and a $1.4 billion lower level of average interest-earning assets. Average loans decreased $2.3 billion in the fourth quarter of 2000 compared to the fourth quarter of 1999, primarily reflecting a lower level of wholesale loans.

Net interest revenue on a fully taxable equivalent basis in the fourth quarter of 2000 decreased $4 million, or 1%, unannualized, compared with the third quarter of 2000. This decrease resulted in part from higher funding costs related to the repurchase of common stock.

Net interest revenue on a fully taxable equivalent basis decreased $22 million in 2000 compared with 1999. This decrease primarily resulted from the divestitures of the credit card and mortgage banking businesses, as well as higher funding costs related to the repurchase of common stock, partially offset by the positive impact of interest-free funds including the impact of compensating deposits held in lieu of customers paying cash management fees. Average interest-earning assets were $2.2 billion lower in 2000 compared with 1999, as average loans decreased by $2.4  billion. Excluding the net interest revenue generated by the divested businesses, net interest revenue increased 1% compared with the full-year 1999.

(b)   Operating expense before net expense (revenue) from acquired property and second quarter 1999 nonrecurring expenses, as a percentage of revenue, computed on a taxable equivalent basis, excluding the net gain (loss) on divestitures and gains on the sales of securities.

Operating expense totaled $724 million in the fourth quarter of 2000, an increase of $29 million compared with the fourth quarter of 1999, primarily resulting from the December 2000 acquisition of the remaining 50% interest in the Mellon Investor Services joint venture. Excluding the effect of acquisitions, operating expense increased only 1% compared with the fourth quarter of 1999, reflecting higher staff expense including higher incentive expense.

Operating expense totaled $2.851 billion for the full-year 2000, a decrease of $119 million, compared with $2.970 billion in the full-year 1999. The decrease primarily resulted from the 1999 divestitures of the credit card business, network services transaction processing unit and the mortgage banking businesses, as well as $56 million of nonrecurring expenses recorded in the second quarter of 1999. The nonrecurring expenses included a $30 million charitable contribution to the Mellon Financial Corporation Foundation,

classified as other expense in the table above, and $26 million of expenses in connection with replacing obsolete computer equipment and closing facilities as part of Mellon's Third Century strategic initiatives. The Third Century expenses were recorded as $21 million of equipment expense and $5 million of net occupancy expense in the table above. Excluding the effect of acquisitions, divestitures and nonrecurring expenses, operating expense increased 5% during the full-year 2000 compared with the prior-year.

Income Taxes

The Corporation's effective tax rate for 2000 was 36.4%, substantially unchanged from 1999, excluding the effect of the net gain from divestitures, and nonrecurring expenses. It is currently anticipated that the effective tax rate will be approximately the same in 2001.

The provision for credit losses totaled $15 million in the fourth quarter of 2000, an increase of $5 million, compared with the fourth quarter of 1999. Other consumer net credit losses totaled $6 million in the fourth quarter of 2000 and included $4 million resulting from the adoption at year-end 2000 of new standards for the classification and management of retail credit, published by the banking regulators.

The reserve for credit losses as a percentage of total loans was 1.49% at Dec. 31, 2000, a 16 basis point increase compared with the prior year end reflecting a $3.9 billion, or 13%, lower level of loans outstanding.

Nonperforming assets increased $49 million, compared with Sept. 30, 2000, and $112 million, compared with Dec. 31, 1999. The higher level of nonperforming assets, compared with Sept. 30, 2000, primarily resulted from assignment of nonperforming status to commercial loans totaling $38 million to a borrower in the building materials manufacturing industry, who voluntarily filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in October 2000 as a result of the financial burden caused by asbestos liability litigation claims. This bankruptcy filing was previously described in the Corporation's third quarter 2000 earnings press release dated Oct. 17, 2000 and Form 10-Q for the quarter ended Sept. 30, 2000. In addition, the adoption at year-end 2000 of the previously discussed new regulatory retail credit standards resulted in a $4 million addition of nonaccrual consumer mortgages. The higher level of nonperforming assets, compared with Dec.  31, 1999, primarily resulted from the previously mentioned items as well as the assignment of nonperforming status to commercial loans to a health care provider and its affiliated companies in the first quarter of 2000. This health care provider has continued to meet its contractual interest payments, which have been applied to their outstanding principal balance.

The amount of goodwill and other intangibles subtracted from shareholders' equity and total assets is net of any tax benefit.
(e) Estimated.

The Corporation's capital ratios reflected the positive impact of earnings retention after common dividend payments, offset primarily by the effect of common stock repurchases and by higher asset levels at Dec. 31, 2000. The Corporation's balance sheet increased by approximately $5 billion in the fourth quarter of 2000, due in large part to customer driven liquidity in excess of typical levels, which impacted the period-end capital ratios. The Corporation's liquid assets increased approximately $5.8 billion in the fourth quarter while loans decreased approximately $1.1 billion in the same period.

During the fourth quarter of 2000, 3.1 million shares of common stock were repurchased, bringing year-to-date repurchases to 21.1 million shares at a purchase price of $737 million for an average share price of $34.87 per share. Common shares outstanding at Dec. 31, 2000, were 7.1% lower than at Dec. 31, 1998, reflecting a 37.1 million reduction, net of shares reissued primarily for employee benefit plan purposes. This reduction was due to stock repurchases totaling approximately $1.8 billion, at an average share price of $35.14 per share. There are an additional 18.6 million shares available for repurchase under the current 25 million share repurchase program authorized by the board of directors in May 2000.

The Corporation's average level of treasury stock was approximately $633 million higher in the fourth quarter of 2000 compared with the fourth quarter of 1999. After giving effect to funding the higher level

Mellon Reports Earnings
Jan. 16, 2001
Page 18

of treasury stock, valued at a short-term funding rate, the lower share count increased diluted earnings per share by approximately 4%, comparing the fourth quarter of 2000 with the fourth quarter of 1999, and approximately 3% comparing the full-year 2000 with the full-year 1999.

Cash Operating Results

Except for the 1994 merger with Dreyfus, which was accounted for under the "pooling of interests" method, the Corporation has been required to account for business combinations under the "purchase" method of accounting. The purchase method results in the recording of goodwill and other identified intangibles that are amortized as noncash charges in future years into operating expense. The pooling of interests method does not result in the recording of goodwill or intangibles. Since goodwill and intangible amortization expense does not result in a cash expense, the economic value to shareholders under either accounting method is the same assuming a given financing mix. Operating results, excluding the impact of intangibles, are shown in the table below.
