Forward-looking statements
This presentation contains forward-looking statements as defined by United States securities laws, including statements relating to State Street’s planned acquisition of Charles River Development (CRD) and its
related business, financial and operational effects. Forward-looking statements are often, but not always, identified by such forward-looking terminology as “will,” “opportunity,” “expect,” “estimate,” “project,”
“anticipate,” “plan,” “strategy,” “propose,” “priority,” “intend,” “may,” “objective,” “forecast,” “outlook,” “believe,” “seek,” “trend,” “target,” and “goal,” or similar statements or variations of such terms. These
statements are not guarantees of future performance, are inherently uncertain, are based on current assumptions that are difficult to predict and involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Therefore, actual
outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed in those statements, and those statements should not be relied upon as representing our expectations or beliefs as of any time subsequent to
the time this presentation is first issued.
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 possibility that some
or all of the anticipated financial, operational, product innovation or other benefits or synergies of the acquisition will not be realized when expected or at all, including as a result of the impact of, additional costs or
unanticipated negative synergies associated with, or problems arising from, the integration of CRD, as a result of regulatory or operational challenges we may experience, as a result of disruptions from the
transaction harming relationships with our clients, employees or regulators, or as a result of the strength of the economy and competitive factors in the areas where we and CRD do business; the failure to obtain
necessary regulatory approvals (and the risk that such approvals may result in the imposition of conditions that could adversely affect us or the expected benefits of the transaction), to satisfy any of the other
conditions to the acquisition on a timely basis or at all or to arrange financing consistent with our expectations or at all; the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the
termination of the definitive purchase agreement in respect of the acquisition; potential adverse reactions or changes to client, regulatory, business or employee relationships, including those resulting from the
announcement or completion of the acquisition; demand for our and CRD’s services and product offerings; requirements to obtain the prior approval or non-objection of the Federal Reserve or other U.S. and non-
U.S. regulators for, or other market, business or other factors that could challenge our execution or implementation of or cause changes to, the use, allocation or distribution of our capital or other specific capital
actions or corporate activities, including, without limitation, acquisitions, dividends, stock purchases and redemptions and investments in subsidiaries; the large institutional clients on which we focus are often able
to exert considerable market influence and have diverse investment activities, and this, combined with strong competitive market forces, subjects us to significant pressure to reduce the fees we charge for our or
may charge for CRD’s products or services and to potentially significant changes in our fee revenue; our ability to recognize evolving needs of our and CRD’s 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 and CRD offer; and the potential for new products and services to impose additional costs on us and expose us
to increased operational risk; 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;
adverse changes in the regulatory ratios that we are, or will be, required to meet, whether arising under the Dodd-Frank Act or implementation of international standards applicable to financial institutions, such as
those proposed by the Basel Committee, 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 or liquidity ratios that cause changes in those ratios as they are measured from period to period; changes in law or
regulation, or the enforcement of law or regulation, that may adversely affect our or CRD’s business activities or those of our or CRD’s clients or counterparties, and the products or services that we or CRD sell,
including additional or increased taxes or assessments thereon, capital adequacy requirements, margin requirements and changes that expose us or CRD to risks related to the adequacy of our or CRD’s controls
or compliance programs; adverse publicity, whether specific to State Street or CRD or regarding other industry participants or industry-wide factors, or other reputational harm; 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 or CRD as a suitable service provider or counterparty;
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; and
changes in accounting standards and practices.
Other important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by any forward-looking statements are set forth in State Street’s 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K and its
subsequent SEC filings. Investors are encouraged to read these filings, particularly the sections on risk factors, for additional information with respect to any forward-looking statements and prior to making any
investment decision. The forward-looking statements contained in this presentation should not be relied on as representing State Street’s expectations or beliefs as of any time subsequent to the time this
presentation is first issued, and State Street does not undertake efforts to revise those forward-looking statements to reflect events after that time.
