BUDGETWATCH January 2015 Special 2014 Year-End Flash Overall: January Budgetwatch is a flash look focusing on some very preliminary 2014 actual revenue results compared with the Final Estimate that was approved by the Board last month. A review of 2014 expenses, which are either unavailable or so preliminary as to not be meaningful, is not included this month. Compared with the Final Estimate, revenue results were overall favorable by $54 million, reflecting strong Passenger and Toll Revenue results. Revenues from Real Estate Transaction Taxes, the Payroll Mobility Tax (PMT), MTA Aid and the Petroleum Business Tax (PBT) were also favorable, while MMTOA was on-target. Passenger and Toll Revenues YTD December 2014 ($ in millions) Actual Final Estimate Diff % Diff NYCT $4,204.5 $4,184.3 $20.1 0.5% LIRR 658.8 655.2 3.6 0.5% MNR 650.0 653.9 (3.9) -0.6% Sub-total $5,513.3 $5,493.4 $19.8 0.4% B&T 1,676.3 1,668.8 7.5 0.4% Total $7,189.6 $7,162.3 $27.3 0.4% Passenger and Toll Revenues were favorable by $27.3 million (0.4%) compared with the Final Estimate; over the final quarter of 2014 the forecast period in the Final Estimate Passenger and Toll Revenues were favorable by 1.5%. NYCT revenue was better than the Final Estimate, which was primarily due to slightly higher subway revenue impacted by higher ridership and average fares. LIRR passenger revenue was favorable primarily due to higher ridership, while MNR revenue was unfavorable, reflecting lower-than-projected non-commutation ridership. Favorable B&T toll revenue was driven by higher than anticipated traffic volume during the fourth quarter, reflective of lower gas prices and below normal snowfall in December. PMT and MTA Aid YTD December 2014 ($ in millions) Final Actual Estimate Diff % Diff PMT $1,571.8 $1,566.2 $5.7 0.4% MTA Aid* 313.2 311.1 2.1 0.7% Total $1,885.1 $1,877.3 $7.8 0.4% * License, Vehicle Registration, Taxi, and Automobile Rental fees. Payroll Mobility Taxes of $1,571.8 million were $5.7 million (0.4%) favorable and MTA Aid Trust Account Fees (Licenses, Registrations, Taxis and Auto Rentals) were $2.1 million (0.7%) favorable from the Final Estimate.

PBT and MMTOA YTD December 2014 ($ in millions) Final Actual Estimate Diff % Diff PBT $627.2 $622.7 $4.6 0.7% MMTOA 1,563.9 1,563.9 0.0 0.0% Total $2,191.1 $2,186.5 $4.6 0.2% Petroleum Business Tax (PBT) receipts were $4.6 million (0.7%) favorable due to higher collections than anticipated in the Final Estimate. Year-end MMTOA receipts were on target. Real Estate Transaction Taxes YTD December 2014 ($ in millions) Final Actual Estimate Diff % Diff MRT $359.5 $350.4 $9.0 2.6% NYC Urban 806.1 801.0 5.1 0.6% Total $1,165.5 $1,151.4 $14.1 1.2% YTD total real estate taxes were higher than the Final Estimate by $14.1 million (1.2% favorable). Regional Mortgage Recording Tax receipts for 2014 totaled $359.5 million, 2.6% above the Final Estimate. MRT-1 (which is paid on all mortgages) totaled $264.8 million and was 3.3% favorable, while MRT-2 (which is paid only on residential properties with six or fewer individual units) totaled $94.6 million and was 0.5% favorable. The favorable variance in MRT-1 receipts is reflective of a higher than anticipated aggregated value of commercial mortgages recorded in New York City, which also favorably impacted the MRT component of the Urban Tax. New York City Urban Tax receipts are imposed on non-residential property and apartment building transactions within New York City that are valued at over $500,000. For 2014, Urban Tax receipts totaled $806.1 million, which was 0.6% above the Final Estimate. The MRT portion of the Urban Tax was $15.1 million (6.5%) favorable, and the Real Property Transfer Tax portion was $10.0 million (1.8%) unfavorable. The favorable MRT variances is due to general activity, while the unfavorable RPTT variance reflects a large, previously announced, transaction not having been formally recorded by year-end.
