PART I
Item 1. Business.
M&T is a New York business corporation that has elected to be treated as an FHC under the BHCA and is a BHC under Article III-A of the New York Banking Law. M&T was incorporated in November 1969. At December 31, 2025, M&T had two wholly-owned bank subsidiaries: M&T Bank and Wilmington Trust, N.A. The banks collectively offer a wide range of retail and commercial banking, wealth management, trust and institutional services to their customers. The Company had consolidated total assets of $213.5 billion, deposits of $166.9 billion and shareholders’ equity of $29.2 billion at December 31, 2025. The principal executive offices of M&T and M&T Bank are located in Buffalo, New York.
M&T Bank is a banking corporation that is incorporated under the laws of the State of New York. M&T Bank is a member of the Federal Reserve System and the FHLB System, and its deposits are insured by the FDIC through its DIF up to applicable limits. M&T acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of the capital stock of M&T Bank in December 1969. The stock of M&T Bank represents a major asset of M&T. M&T Bank operates under a charter granted by the State of New York in 1892, and the continuity of its banking business is traced to the organization of Manufacturers and Traders Bank in 1856. M&T Bank provides banking products and services through a domestic banking office and ATM network located throughout New York, Maryland, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Virginia, West Virginia and the District of Columbia. As a commercial bank, M&T Bank offers a broad range of financial services to a diverse base of consumers, businesses, professional clients, governmental entities and financial institutions located in its markets. Lending is generally focused on consumers residing in areas where M&T Bank maintains banking offices, and on small and medium-size businesses based in those areas, although loans are originated through offices in other states and in Ontario, Canada. M&T Bank and certain of its subsidiaries also offer commercial mortgage loans secured by income producing properties or properties used by borrowers in a trade or business. Additional financial services are provided through other operating subsidiaries of M&T Bank including M&T Realty Capital which engages in multifamily commercial real estate lending and provides loan servicing to purchasers of the loans it originates, and LEAF Commercial Capital Inc. and M&T Equipment Finance Corp. which provide equipment leasing and financing services. Trust and other fiduciary services are offered by M&T Bank and through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Wilmington Trust Company. At December 31, 2025, M&T Bank and its subsidiaries represented over 99% of the consolidated assets of the Company.
Wilmington Trust, N.A. is a national bank with total assets of $773 million at December 31, 2025. Wilmington Trust, N.A. and its subsidiaries offer various institutional client and wealth management services. Among other subsidiaries of M&T is M&T Securities, Inc. which provides institutional brokerage and securities services. M&T and its banking subsidiaries have a number of other special-purpose or inactive subsidiaries. These other subsidiaries did not represent, individually or collectively, a significant portion of the Company’s consolidated assets, net income and shareholders’ equity at December 31, 2025.
The Company from time to time considers acquiring banks, thrift institutions, branch offices of banks or thrift institutions, or other businesses within markets currently served by the Company or in other locations that would complement the Company’s business or its geographic reach. The Company has pursued acquisition opportunities in the past, reviews different opportunities from time to time and intends to continue this practice.
Segment Information, Principal Products/Services and Foreign Operations
Information about the Company’s business segments is included in note 21 of Notes to Financial Statements filed herewith in Part II, Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" and is further discussed in Part II, Item 7, "Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations." The Company engages in limited international activities including certain trust-related services in Europe, foreign currency transactions associated with customer activity, providing credit to support the international activities of domestic companies and holding certain loans to foreign borrowers. Assets and revenues associated with international activities represent less than 1% of the Company’s consolidated assets and revenues.
The only activities that, as a class, contributed 10% or more of the sum of consolidated interest income and other income in any of the last three years were interest income on loans in each of 2025, 2024 and 2023, interest income on investment securities in 2025 and interest income on deposits at banks in each of 2024 and 2023. The amount of income from such sources during those years is recorded in various business segments and is set forth in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Income and Notes to Financial Statements filed herewith in Part II, Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data."
Supervision and Regulation of the Company
M&T and its subsidiaries are subject to the comprehensive regulatory framework applicable to BHCs and FHCs and their subsidiaries. Regulation of financial institutions such as M&T and its subsidiaries is intended primarily for the protection of depositors, the FDIC’s DIF and the banking and financial system as a whole, and generally is not intended for the protection of shareholders, investors or creditors other than insured depositors.
Proposals to change the applicable regulatory framework may be introduced in the U.S. Congress and state legislatures, as well as by regulatory agencies and through Executive Orders by the U.S. President. Such initiatives may include proposals to expand or contract the powers of BHCs and depository institutions or proposals to substantially change the financial institution regulatory system. Such legislation could change banking statutes and the operating environment of the Company in substantial and unpredictable ways. If enacted, such legislation could increase or decrease the cost of doing business, limit or expand permissible activities or affect the competitive balance among banks, savings associations, credit unions and other financial institutions. A change in statutes, regulations or regulatory policies applicable to M&T or any of its subsidiaries could have a material effect on the business, financial condition or results of operations of the Company.
Described hereafter are material elements of the significant federal and state laws and regulations applicable to M&T and its subsidiaries.
Overview
M&T is registered with the Federal Reserve as an FHC and a BHC under the BHCA. As such, M&T and its subsidiaries are subject to the supervision, examination, reporting, capital and other requirements of the BHCA and the regulations of the Federal Reserve. In addition, M&T’s banking subsidiaries are subject to regulation, supervision and examination by, as applicable, the NYSDFS, the OCC, the FDIC and the Federal Reserve, and their consumer financial products and services are regulated by the CFPB. Further, financial services entities such as M&T’s investment advisor and broker-dealer subsidiaries are subject to regulation by the SEC, Financial Industry Regulatory Authority and Securities Investor Protection Corporation, among others. Certain other subsidiaries are subject to regulation by other federal and state regulators as well.
M&T Bank is a New York chartered bank and a member of the Federal Reserve System. As a result, it is subject to extensive regulation, examination and oversight by the NYSDFS and the FRB of New York. New York laws and regulations govern many aspects of M&T Bank’s operations,
including branching, dividends, subsidiary activities, fiduciary activities, lending and deposit taking. M&T Bank is also subject to Federal Reserve regulations and guidance, including with respect to capital levels. Its deposits are insured by the FDIC, subject to certain limitations, which also exercises regulatory oversight over certain aspects of M&T Bank’s operations.
Wilmington Trust, N.A. is a national bank with operations that include fiduciary and related activities with limited lending and deposit business. It is subject to regulation, examination and oversight by the OCC, which governs many aspects of its operations, including fiduciary activities, capital levels, office locations, dividends and subsidiary activities. Its deposits are insured by the FDIC, subject to certain limitations, which also exercises regulatory oversight over certain aspects of the operations of Wilmington Trust, N.A.
Permissible Activities under the BHCA
In general, the BHCA limits the business of a BHC to banking, managing or controlling banks, and other activities that the Federal Reserve has determined to be so closely related to banking as to be a proper incident thereto. In addition, BHCs are obligated by a Federal Reserve policy to serve as a managerial and financial source of strength to their subsidiary depository institutions, including committing resources to support such subsidiaries. This support may be required at times when M&T may not be inclined or able to provide it. In addition, any capital loans by a BHC to a subsidiary bank are subordinate in right of payment to deposits and to certain other indebtedness of such subsidiary bank. In the event of a BHC’s bankruptcy, any commitment by the BHC to a federal bank regulatory agency to maintain the capital of a subsidiary bank will be assumed by the bankruptcy trustee and entitled to a priority of payment.
A BHC that qualifies and elects to be an FHC may engage in any activity, or acquire and retain the shares of a company engaged in any activity, that is either (i) financial in nature or incidental to such financial activity (as determined by the Federal Reserve, by regulation or order, in consultation with the Secretary of the Treasury) or (ii) complementary to a financial activity and does not pose a substantial risk to the safety and soundness of depository institutions or the financial system generally (as solely determined by the Federal Reserve). Activities that are financial in nature include securities underwriting and dealing, insurance underwriting and merchant banking.
M&T elected to become an FHC in 2011. To maintain FHC status, an FHC and all of its depository institution subsidiaries must be "well capitalized" and "well managed." The failure of an FHC to meet such requirements could result in material restrictions on the activities of the FHC and may also adversely affect the FHC’s ability to enter into certain transactions, including acquisitions, or obtain necessary approvals in connection with those transactions, as well as loss of FHC status. Additionally, if each of an FHC’s depository institution subsidiaries has not received at least a "satisfactory" rating on its most recent examination under the CRA, the FHC would not be able to commence any new financial activities or acquire a company that engages in such activities, although it would still be allowed to engage in activities closely related to banking and make investments in the ordinary course of conducting banking activities. For a further discussion of the CRA, see the section captioned "CRA" included herein.
Enhanced Prudential Standards
Under Section 165 of the Dodd-Frank Act, as amended by the EGRRCPA, U.S. BHCs with total consolidated assets of $100 billion or more, including M&T, are subject to enhanced prudential standards. The enhanced prudential standards include risk-based capital and leverage requirements, liquidity standards, risk management and risk committee requirements, stress testing requirements and a debt-to-equity limit for companies that the Financial Stability Oversight Council has determined would pose a grave threat to systemic financial stability were they to fail such limits. Tailoring Rules adopted by the Federal Reserve and other federal bank regulators in 2019 assign each
U.S. BHC with $100 billion or more in total consolidated assets, as well as its bank subsidiaries, to one of four categories based on its size and five other risk-based indicators: (i) cross-jurisdictional activity, (ii) weighted short-term wholesale funding, (iii) non-bank assets, (iv) off-balance sheet exposure, and (v) status as a U.S. global systemically important BHC. Under the Tailoring Rules, M&T and its depository institution subsidiaries are subject to Category IV standards, which apply to banking organizations with at least $100 billion in total consolidated assets that do not meet any of the thresholds specified for Categories I through III. The threshold for Category III is $250 billion or more in total consolidated assets, or $100 billion or more in total consolidated assets and at least $75 billion in weighted short-term wholesale funding, non-bank assets or off-balance sheet exposures.
Under the Tailoring Rules, Category IV firms, among other things, (i) are not subject to any LCR or NSFR (or, in certain cases, are subject to reduced requirements), (ii) remain eligible to opt-out of the requirement to recognize most elements of accumulated other comprehensive income in regulatory capital, (iii) are not subject to company-run stress testing requirements, (iv) are subject to supervisory stress testing on at least a biennial basis rather than an annual basis, (v) are subject to requirements to develop and maintain a capital plan on an annual basis and (vi) are subject to certain liquidity risk management and risk committee requirements. The Federal Reserve may impose more stringent requirements (e.g. frequency of supervisory stress tests or capital plan submissions) based on a company’s financial condition, size, complexity, risk profile, scope of operations or activities, or risks to the U.S. economy. Category IV firms are not subject to (i) advanced approaches capital requirements, (ii) the SLR and (iii) the CCyB. Other elements of the Tailoring Rules are discussed in further detail throughout this section. Compared with Category IV firms, Category III firms are subject to the LCR and NSFR, company-run stress testing requirements, annual (instead of biennial) supervisory stress tests, the SLR and the CCyB.
In July 2023, the Federal Reserve, the FDIC and the OCC proposed revisions to the capital framework applicable to BHCs with $100 billion or more in assets, such as M&T, which would also apply to their depository institution subsidiaries. For further discussion of the capital framework, see the section captioned "Capital Requirements" included herein.
Capital Requirements
M&T and its subsidiary banks are required to comply with applicable Capital Rules, which are based on Basel III. The Capital Rules include both risk-based requirements, which compare three measures of capital to RWA, as well as leverage requirements, which, in the case of Category IV BHCs such as M&T, consist of the Tier 1 leverage ratio described below. Pursuant to the Capital Rules, the minimum capital ratios are as follows:
•4.5% CET1 capital to RWA;
•6.0% Tier 1 capital (CET1 plus Additional Tier 1 capital) to RWA;
•8.0% Total capital (Tier 1 plus Tier 2 capital) to RWA; and
•4.0% Tier 1 capital to average consolidated assets (the "leverage ratio").
In calculating risk-based capital ratios, M&T must assign risk weights to the Company’s assets and off-balance sheet items. M&T has an ongoing process to review data elements associated with these exposures that from time to time may affect how specific exposures are classified and could lead to increases or decreases of the regulatory risk weights assigned to such exposures.
The Capital Rules also require firms to maintain a "buffer," consisting solely of CET1 capital, in addition to the minimum risk-based requirements. Failure to satisfy the buffer requirement in full results in graduated constraints on capital distributions and discretionary executive compensation. The severity of the constraints depends on the amount of the shortfall and the firm’s "eligible retained income," defined as the greater of (i) net income for the four preceding quarters net of distributions
and associated tax effects not reflected in net income and (ii) the average of net income over the preceding four quarters.
As a Category IV BHC, M&T’s buffer requirement, referred to as the SCB, is determined through the Federal Reserve’s supervisory stress tests, discussed herein. For M&T’s bank subsidiaries, the buffer requirement consists of the static capital conservation buffer equal to 2.5% of RWA.
CET1 capital consists of common stock instruments that meet the eligibility criteria in the Capital Rules, including common stock and related surplus, net of treasury stock, retained earnings, certain minority interests and, for certain firms, accumulated other comprehensive income. As currently permitted under the Capital Rules, M&T made a one-time permanent election to neutralize certain accumulated other comprehensive income components, with the result that those components are not recognized in M&T’s CET1 capital.
The Capital Rules provide for a number of deductions from and adjustments to CET1 capital. As a "non-advanced approaches" firm under the Capital Rules, M&T is subject to rules that provide for simplified capital requirements relating to the threshold deductions for mortgage loan servicing assets, deferred tax assets arising from temporary differences that a banking organization could not realize through net operating loss carrybacks, and investments in the capital of unconsolidated financial institutions, as well as the inclusion of minority interests in regulatory capital. M&T’s and its subsidiary banks’ regulatory capital ratios are presented in note 22 of Notes to Financial Statements filed herewith in Part II, Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data."
In December 2017, the Basel Committee published standards that it described as the finalization of the Basel III post-crisis regulatory reforms. Among other things, these standards revise the Basel Committee’s standardized approach for credit risk (including by recalibrating risk weights and introducing new capital requirements for certain "unconditionally cancellable commitments," such as unused credit card lines of credit) and provide a new standardized approach for operational risk capital. Under the current U.S. capital rules, operational risk capital requirements and a capital floor apply only to advanced approaches institutions, and not to the Company.
In July 2023, the Federal Reserve, the FDIC and the OCC proposed revisions to the Capital Rules to implement the Basel Committee’s 2017 standards and make other changes to the Capital Rules. The federal banking regulators have subsequently indicated that they expect to issue a revised proposal, the timing and contents of which are uncertain.
Stress Testing and SCB
As part of the enhanced prudential requirements applicable to systemically important financial institutions, the Federal Reserve conducts periodic analyses of BHCs with at least $100 billion in total consolidated assets using baseline and severely adverse economic and financial scenarios generated by the Federal Reserve. For Category IV firms, such as M&T, these supervisory stress tests occur on a biennial basis, in even-numbered years. The Federal Reserve may also use additional components in the severely adverse scenario or additional or more complex scenarios designed to capture salient risks to specific business groups. A summary of results of the Federal Reserve’s analysis under the severely adverse stress scenario is publicly disclosed by June 30 each year. Under the Tailoring Rules, Category IV firms, including M&T, are not subject to company-run stress testing requirements.
The SCB is based on a BHC’s stressed losses in the supervisory stress test, plus four quarters of planned common stock dividends, subject to a floor of 2.5% of RWAs. Under the Tailoring Rules, for Category IV firms, the portion of the SCB based on the Federal Reserve’s supervisory stress tests will be calculated biennially, in even-numbered years. During a year in which a Category IV firm does not undergo a supervisory stress test, the firm will receive an updated SCB that reflects the firm’s updated planned common stock dividends. A Category IV firm is also able to elect to
participate in the supervisory stress test in a year in which the firm would not normally be subject to the supervisory stress test and consequently receive an updated SCB, and M&T elected to participate in the 2025 supervisory stress test. The Federal Reserve may impose more stringent requirements (e.g., frequency of supervisory stress tests or capital plan submissions) based on various factors.
In June 2025, the Federal Reserve released the results of its most recent supervisory stress tests. Based on those results and the current rules, on October 1, 2025, M&T's SCB of 2.7% became effective. Accordingly, it is currently subject to a CET1 capital requirement of 7.2% (a sum of the SCB and the minimum CET1 capital ratio).
In April 2025, the Federal Reserve issued a proposed rule that would result in the SCB being calculated based on an average of a firm’s stress test results over two consecutive years, which is intended to reduce volatility in firms’ capital requirements. However, a Category IV institution like M&T, which is only subject to stress tests every other year, would receive an SCB based solely on its most recent stress test, unless it opted into the supervisory stress tests in an off-cycle year.
In October 2025, the Federal Reserve issued proposals to enhance the transparency and public accountability of its annual stress test, which is used to set the SCB for large BHCs, including M&T. The proposals request comment on several elements of the stress test, including the models and scenarios used; an enhanced disclosure process for the scenarios and material model changes in future stress test cycles; modifications to reporting forms; and an adjusted timeline for the annual process to accommodate a comment period for scenarios and material model changes.
BHCs with total consolidated assets of $100 billion or more, including Category IV BHCs such as M&T, must annually submit capital plans as part of the Federal Reserve’s process. The comprehensive capital plans include a view of capital adequacy under various scenarios, including a BHC-defined baseline scenario, at least one BHC-defined stress scenario, and any scenario provided by the Federal Reserve. A BHC’s planned capital distributions in its annual capital plan submissions must be consistent with any effective distribution limitations that would apply under the firm’s own baseline projections, including its SCB. The process is intended to help ensure that these BHCs have robust, forward-looking capital planning processes that account for each company’s unique risks and that permit continued operations during times of economic and financial stress. Each of the BHCs participating in the process is also required to collect and report certain related data to the Federal Reserve on a regular basis. The Federal Reserve incorporates an assessment of the qualitative aspects of the firm’s capital planning process into regular, ongoing supervisory activities and through targeted, horizontal assessments of particular aspects of capital planning. M&T’s annual capital plan is due in April each year.
Distributions
M&T is a legal entity separate and distinct from its banking and other subsidiaries. Historically, the majority of M&T’s revenue has been from dividends paid to M&T by its subsidiary banks. M&T Bank and Wilmington Trust, N.A. are subject to laws and regulations imposing restrictions on the amount of dividends those subsidiaries may declare and pay. An IDI is prohibited from making any capital distribution to its owner, including any dividend, if, after making such distribution, the depository institution fails to meet the required minimum level for any relevant capital measure, including the risk-based capital adequacy and leverage standards discussed herein. Future dividend payments to M&T by its subsidiary banks will be dependent on a number of factors, including the earnings and financial condition of each such bank, and are subject to the limitations referred to in note 22 of Notes to Financial Statements filed herewith in Part II, Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data," and to other statutory powers of bank regulatory agencies.
Dividend payments by M&T to its shareholders and common stock repurchases by M&T are subject to the oversight of the Federal Reserve. M&T’s ability to make capital distributions would
likely be impacted in the event that M&T fails to maintain its CET1 risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based and total risk-based capital ratios above minimum requirements including its SCB.
In addition, the Federal Reserve’s capital plan rule also provides that a BHC must receive prior approval for any dividend, stock repurchase, or other capital distribution, other than a capital distribution on a newly issued capital instrument, if the BHC is required to resubmit its capital plan. Among other circumstances, a firm may be required to resubmit its capital plan in connection with certain acquisitions or dispositions.
Liquidity
Under the Tailoring Rules, as a Category IV firm, the Company is not subject to the Federal Reserve and other federal banking regulators' rules that implement a U.S. version of the Basel Committee’s LCR requirement, which is intended to ensure that banks hold sufficient amounts of so-called high quality liquid assets to cover the anticipated net cash outflows during a hypothetical acute 30-day stress scenario, or the NSFR, which is designed to promote more medium- and long-term funding of the assets and activities of banks over a one-year time horizon. The Federal Reserve’s enhanced prudential standards, however, require the Company, as a BHC with $100 billion or more in total consolidated assets, to comply with enhanced liquidity and overall risk management standards, which include maintaining a level of highly liquid assets based on projected funding needs for 30 days, and increased involvement by boards of directors in liquidity and overall risk management. Under the Tailoring Rules, the liquidity risk management and reporting requirements are less stringent for Category IV BHCs as compared with BHCs in a different category.
Cross Guaranty Provision
The cross guaranty provisions in the FDIA require each IDI owned by the same BHC to be financially responsible for the failure or resolution costs of any affiliated insured institution. Generally, the amount of the cross guaranty liability is equal to the estimated loss to the DIF for the resolution of the affiliated institution(s) in default. The FDIC’s claim under the cross guaranty provision is superior to claims of shareholders of the IDI or its BHC and to most claims arising out of obligations or liabilities owed to affiliates of the institution, but is subordinate to claims of depositors, secured creditors and holders of subordinated debt (other than affiliates) of the commonly controlled IDI. The FDIC may decline to enforce the cross guaranty provision if it determines that a waiver is in the best interest of the DIF.
Volcker Rule
The Volcker Rule limits proprietary trading and investing in and sponsoring certain hedge funds and private equity funds (defined as "covered funds" in the Volcker Rule). The Company does not engage in a significant amount of proprietary trading as defined in the Volcker Rule and implemented the required procedures for those areas in which trading activities occur. In addition, the Company does not engage in any significant covered fund activities that are impacted by the Volcker Rule.
Safety and Soundness Standards and Supervision
Guidelines adopted by the federal bank regulatory agencies pursuant to the FDIA establish general standards relating to internal controls, information systems, internal audit systems, loan documentation, credit underwriting, interest rate exposure, asset growth, compensation, fees and benefits. In general, these guidelines require, among other things, appropriate systems and practices to identify and manage the risk and exposures specified in the guidelines. Additionally, the agencies adopted regulations that authorize, but do not require, an agency to order an institution that has been given notice by an agency that it is not satisfying any of such safety and soundness standards to submit a compliance plan. If, after being so notified, an institution fails to submit an acceptable
compliance plan or fails in any material respect to implement an acceptable compliance plan, the agency must issue an order directing action to correct the deficiency and may issue an order directing other actions of the types to which an undercapitalized institution is subject. If an institution fails to comply with such an order, the agency may seek to enforce such order in judicial proceedings and to impose civil money penalties. In addition, the federal bank regulatory agencies supervise and examine the risk management of FHCs, BHCs and banks, including with respect to third-party, cybersecurity, model and other risk management.
In October 2025, the FDIC and OCC issued a proposed rule that would define the term “unsafe or unsound practice” for purposes of their enforcement powers under the FDIA. The proposed definition would focus on whether the practice is likely to materially harm, or already has materially harmed, the financial condition of an institution. The Federal Reserve has not issued a similar proposal.
Limits on Undercapitalized Depository Institutions
The FDIA establishes a system of regulatory remedies to resolve the problems of undercapitalized institutions, referred to as the prompt corrective action framework. The federal banking regulators have established five capital categories ("well capitalized," "adequately capitalized," "undercapitalized," "significantly undercapitalized" and "critically undercapitalized") and must take certain mandatory supervisory actions, and are authorized to take other discretionary actions, with respect to institutions which are undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized or critically undercapitalized. The severity of these mandatory and discretionary supervisory actions depends upon the capital category in which the institution is placed. The federal banking regulators have specified by regulation the relevant capital levels for each category. Under existing rules, a depository institution is deemed to be "well capitalized" if it has (i) a CET1 capital ratio of at least 6.5%, (ii) a Tier 1 capital ratio of at least 8%, (iii) a Total capital ratio of at least 10%, and (iv) a Tier 1 leverage ratio of at least 5%.
The FDIA’s prompt corrective action provisions only apply to depository institutions and not to BHCs. The Federal Reserve’s regulations applicable to BHCs separately define "well capitalized." A FHC that is not well capitalized and well managed (or whose bank subsidiaries are not well capitalized and well managed) under applicable prompt corrective action standards may be restricted in certain of its activities and ultimately may lose FHC status.
An institution that is categorized as undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized or critically undercapitalized is required to submit an acceptable capital restoration plan to its appropriate federal banking regulator. Under the FDIA, in order for the capital restoration plan to be accepted by the appropriate federal banking agency, a BHC must guarantee that a subsidiary depository institution will comply with its capital restoration plan, subject to certain limitations. The BHC must also provide appropriate assurances of performance. An undercapitalized institution is also generally prohibited from increasing its average total assets, accepting brokered deposits or offering interest rates on any deposits significantly higher than prevailing market rates, making acquisitions, establishing any branches or engaging in any new line of business, except in accordance with an accepted capital restoration plan or with the approval of the FDIC. Institutions that are significantly undercapitalized or undercapitalized and either fail to submit an acceptable capital restoration plan or fail to implement an approved capital restoration plan may be subject to a number of requirements and restrictions, including orders to sell sufficient voting stock to become adequately capitalized, requirements to reduce total assets and cessation of receipt of deposits from correspondent banks. Critically undercapitalized depository institutions failing to submit or implement an acceptable capital restoration plan are subject to appointment of a receiver or conservator.
Transactions with Affiliates
There are various legal restrictions on the extent to which M&T and its non-bank subsidiaries or affiliates may borrow or otherwise obtain funding from M&T Bank and Wilmington Trust, N.A. In general, Sections 23A and 23B of the Federal Reserve Act and Federal Reserve Regulation W require that any "covered transaction" by M&T Bank and Wilmington Trust, N.A. (or any of their respective subsidiaries) with an affiliate must in certain cases be secured by designated amounts of specified collateral and must be limited as follows: (i) in the case of any single such affiliate, the aggregate amount of covered transactions of the IDI and its subsidiaries may not exceed 10% of the capital stock and surplus of such IDI, and (ii) in the case of all affiliates, the aggregate amount of covered transactions of an IDI and its subsidiaries may not exceed 20% of the capital stock and surplus of such IDI. "Covered transactions" are defined by statute to include, among other things, a loan or extension of credit, as well as a purchase of securities issued by an affiliate, a purchase of assets (unless otherwise exempted by the Federal Reserve) from the affiliate, certain derivative transactions that create a credit exposure to an affiliate, the acceptance of securities issued by the affiliate as collateral for a loan, and the issuance of a guarantee, acceptance or letter of credit on behalf of an affiliate. All covered transactions, including certain additional transactions (such as transactions with a third party in which an affiliate has a financial interest), must be conducted on terms and under circumstances including credit standards (i) that are substantially the same, or at least as favorable to such bank or its subsidiary, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with or involving other nonaffiliated companies, or in the absence of comparable transactions, (ii) that in good faith would be offered to, or would apply to, nonaffiliated companies.
FDIC Insurance Assessments
M&T Bank and Wilmington Trust, N.A. deposits are insured by the DIF of the FDIC up to the limits set forth under applicable law. The FDIC imposes a risk-based premium assessment system that determines assessment rates for financial institutions. Deposit insurance assessments are based on average total assets minus average tangible equity. For larger institutions, such as M&T Bank, the FDIC uses a performance score and a loss-severity score to calculate an initial assessment rate. In calculating these scores, the FDIC uses a bank’s capital level and supervisory ratings and certain financial measures to assess an institution’s ability to withstand asset-related stress and funding-related stress. The FDIC has the ability to make discretionary adjustments to the total score based upon significant risk factors that are not adequately captured in the calculations. Under the current system, premiums are assessed quarterly.
Under the FDIA, insurance of deposits may be terminated by the FDIC upon a finding that the institution has engaged in unsafe and unsound practices, is in an unsafe or unsound condition to continue operations, or has violated any applicable law, regulation, rule, order or condition imposed by the FDIC.
In October 2022, the FDIC finalized a rule that increased initial base deposit insurance assessment rates by 2 basis points, beginning with the first quarterly assessment period of 2023. The FDIC, as required under the FDIA, established a plan in September 2020 to restore the DIF reserve ratio to meet or exceed the statutory minimum of 1.35 percent within eight years. The increased assessment is intended to improve the likelihood that the DIF reserve ratio would reach the required minimum by the statutory deadline of September 30, 2028.
In November 2023, the FDIC finalized a rule that imposes a special assessment to recover the costs to the DIF resulting from the FDIC’s use in 2023 of the systemic risk exception to the least-cost resolution test under the FDIA in connection with the receiverships of certain failed banks. Under the rule, the assessment base is the estimated uninsured deposits that an IDI reported in its Consolidated Report of Condition and Income at December 31, 2022, excluding the first $5 billion in estimated uninsured deposits. For a holding company that has more than one IDI subsidiary, such as M&T, the
$5 billion exclusion is allocated among the company’s IDI subsidiaries in proportion to each IDI’s estimated uninsured deposits. The special assessments are tax deductible. The Company's total share of the FDIC's special assessment is estimated at $194 million, of which $98 million and $74 million was paid in 2025 and 2024, respectively. The amount of FDIC special assessment remaining to be paid and included in Accrued interest and other liabilities in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2025 was $22 million. The FDIC has adjusted the amount of the special assessment since 2023 and has indicated that the amount of the special assessment may be adjusted in the future should its loss estimates change.
Acquisitions
Federal and state laws impose notice and approval requirements for mergers and acquisitions involving depository institutions or BHCs. For example, the BHCA requires every BHC to obtain the prior approval of the Federal Reserve before: (i) it may acquire direct or indirect ownership or control of any voting shares of any bank or savings institution, if after such acquisition, the BHC will directly or indirectly own or control 5% or more of the voting shares of the institution; (ii) it or any of its subsidiaries, other than a bank, may acquire all or substantially all of the assets of any bank or savings institution; or (iii) it may merge or consolidate with any other BHC. In addition, FHCs are required to obtain prior approval from the Federal Reserve before acquiring certain non-bank financial companies with assets exceeding $10 billion.
The BHCA further provides that the Federal Reserve may not approve any transaction that would result in a monopoly or would be in furtherance of any combination or conspiracy to monopolize or attempt to monopolize the business of banking in any section of the U.S., or the effect of which may be to substantially lessen competition or to tend to create a monopoly in any section of the country, or that in any other manner would be in restraint of trade, unless the anticompetitive effects of the proposed transaction are clearly outweighed by the public interest in meeting the convenience and needs of the community to be served. The Federal Reserve is also required to consider the financial and managerial resources and future prospects of the BHCs and banks concerned and the convenience and needs of the community to be served. Consideration of financial resources generally focuses on capital adequacy and consideration of convenience and needs issues and includes the parties’ performance under the CRA and compliance with laws, especially consumer protection laws. When evaluating a transaction, the Federal Reserve must also take into account the institution's effectiveness in combating money laundering and consider the extent to which the transaction would result in greater or more concentrated risks to the stability of the U.S. banking or financial system.
The standards by which mergers and acquisitions involving depository institutions or BHCs are evaluated by regulators continue to evolve. For example, the DOJ announced in September 2024 its withdrawal from the 1995 Bank Merger Guidelines to assess the competitive effects of bank merger transactions.
Executive and Incentive Compensation
Guidelines adopted by several federal banking agencies prohibit excessive compensation as an unsafe and unsound practice and describe compensation as "excessive" when the amounts paid are unreasonable or disproportionate to the services performed by an executive officer, employee, director or principal stockholder. The Federal Reserve issued Incentive Compensation Guidance intended to ensure that the incentive compensation policies of banking organizations do not undermine the safety and soundness of such organizations by encouraging excessive risk-taking. The Incentive Compensation Guidance, which covers all employees that have the ability to materially affect the risk profile of an organization, either individually or as part of a group, is based upon the key principles that a banking organization’s incentive compensation arrangements should (i) provide
incentives that do not encourage risk-taking beyond the organization’s ability to effectively identify and manage risks; (ii) be compatible with effective internal controls and risk management; and (iii) be supported by strong corporate governance, including active and effective oversight by the organization’s board of directors. These three principles are incorporated into the proposed joint compensation regulations under the Dodd-Frank Act. Any deficiencies in compensation practices that are identified may be incorporated into the organization’s supervisory ratings, which can affect its ability to make acquisitions or perform other actions. The Incentive Compensation Guidance states that enforcement actions may be taken against a banking organization if its incentive compensation arrangements or related risk-management control or governance processes pose a risk to the organization’s safety and soundness and the organization is not taking prompt and effective measures to correct the deficiencies.
The Dodd-Frank Act requires the federal bank regulatory agencies and the SEC to establish joint regulations or guidelines prohibiting incentive-based payment arrangements at specified regulated entities having at least $1 billion in total assets, such as M&T and M&T Bank. The agencies proposed rules to implement this requirement in 2016, but those proposed rules have not been finalized.
In October 2022, the SEC adopted a final rule directing national securities exchanges and associations, including the NYSE, to require policies mandating the recovery or "clawback" of excess incentive-based compensation earned by a current or former executive officer during the three fiscal years preceding a required accounting restatement, including to correct an error that would result in a material misstatement if the error were corrected in the current period or left uncorrected in the current period. The excess compensation would be based on the amount the executive officer would have received had the incentive-based compensation been determined using the restated financial statements. The NYSE’s listing standards pursuant to the SEC’s rule became effective October 2023. M&T’s clawback policy adopted in accordance with these listing standards is included as Exhibit 97.1 of this Form 10-K.
In addition, the NYSDFS issued guidance emphasizing that its regulated banking institutions, including M&T Bank, must ensure that any incentive compensation arrangements tied to employee performance indicators are subject to effective risk management, oversight and control.
Resolution Planning and Resolution-Related Requirements
Pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Act, as amended by the EGRRCPA, certain BHCs are required to report periodically to the Federal Reserve and the FDIC a resolution plan for their rapid and orderly resolution in the event of material financial distress or failure. In 2019, the Federal Reserve and FDIC issued modified rules that, among other things, adjusted the review cycles and applicability of the agencies’ resolution planning requirements. Under these rules, Category IV firms such as M&T are not required to submit resolution plans.
The FDIC has separately required IDIs with $50 billion or more in total assets, such as M&T Bank, to submit to the FDIC periodic plans for resolution in the event of the institution’s failure. In June 2024, the FDIC finalized amendments to the resolution planning requirements for IDIs with $50 billion or more in total assets. IDIs such as M&T Bank with $100 billion or more in total assets that are not affiliates of U.S. global systemically important banking organizations are required to submit resolution plans on a three-year cycle, with an interim supplement updating key information submitted in the off years. M&T Bank made its first submission under the new rule in July 2025.
In August 2023, the Federal Reserve, the FDIC and the OCC issued a proposed rule that would, among other things, require Category II through Category IV BHCs and IDIs with $100 billion or more in consolidated assets (as well as their IDI affiliates) to maintain minimum amounts of eligible long-term debt (generally, debt that is unsecured, has a maturity greater than one year from issuance
and satisfies additional criteria), subject to a three-year phase-in period. The proposal has not yet been finalized.
Insolvency of an IDI or a BHC
If the FDIC is appointed as conservator or receiver for an IDI such as M&T Bank or Wilmington Trust, N.A., upon its insolvency or in certain other events without limitation, the FDIC has the power:
•to transfer any of the depository institution’s assets and liabilities to a new depository institution, including a newly formed "bridge" bank without the approval of the insolvent depository institution’s creditors or equity holders;
•to enforce the terms of the depository institution’s contracts pursuant to their terms without regard to any provisions triggered by the appointment of the FDIC in that capacity; or
•to repudiate or disaffirm any contract or lease to which the depository institution is a party, the performance of which is determined by the FDIC to be burdensome and the disaffirmance or repudiation of which is determined by the FDIC to promote the orderly administration of the depository institution.
In addition, under federal law, the claims of holders of domestic deposit liabilities and certain claims for administrative expenses against an IDI institution would be afforded a priority over other general unsecured claims against such an institution, including claims of debt holders of the institution, in the "liquidation or other resolution" of such an institution by any receiver. As a result, whether or not the FDIC ever sought to repudiate any debt obligations of M&T Bank or Wilmington Trust, N.A., the debt holders would be treated differently from, and could receive, if anything, substantially less than the depositors of the bank.
The Dodd-Frank Act created a new resolution regime known as OLA for systemically important financial companies, including BHCs and their affiliates. Under the OLA, the FDIC may be appointed as receiver for the systemically important institution, and its failed subsidiaries, for purposes of liquidating the entity if, among other conditions, it is determined at the time of the institution’s failure that it is in default or in danger of default and the failure poses a risk to the stability of the U.S. financial system. If the FDIC is appointed as receiver under the OLA, then the powers of the receiver, and the rights and obligations of creditors and other parties who have dealt with the institution, would be determined under the Dodd-Frank Act provisions, and not under the insolvency law that would otherwise apply. The powers of the receiver under the OLA were based on the powers of the FDIC as receiver for depository institutions under the FDIA. However, the provisions governing the rights of creditors under the OLA were modified in certain respects to reduce disparities with the treatment of creditors’ claims under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code as compared with the treatment of those claims under the new authority. Nonetheless, substantial differences in the rights of creditors exist as between these two regimes, including the right of the FDIC to disregard the strict priority of creditor claims in some circumstances, the use of an administrative claims procedure to determine creditors’ claims (as opposed to the judicial procedure utilized in bankruptcy proceedings), and the right of the FDIC to transfer claims to a "bridge" entity.
An OLF will fund such liquidation proceedings through borrowings from the Treasury Department and risk-based assessments made, first, on entities that received more in the resolution than they would have received in liquidation to the extent of such excess, and second, if necessary, on BHCs with total consolidated assets of $50 billion or more, such as M&T. If an orderly liquidation is triggered, M&T could face assessments for the OLF.
The FDIC has developed a strategy under the OLA referred to as the "single point of entry" strategy, under which the FDIC would resolve a failed FHC by transferring its assets (including shares of its operating subsidiaries) and, potentially, very limited liabilities to a "bridge" holding
company; utilize the resources of the failed FHC to recapitalize the operating subsidiaries; and satisfy the claims of unsecured creditors of the failed FHC and other claimants in the receivership by delivering securities of one or more new financial companies that would emerge from the bridge holding company. Under this strategy, management of the failed FHC would be replaced and shareholders and creditors of the failed FHC would bear the losses resulting from the failure.
Depositor Preference
Under federal law, depositors and certain claims for administrative expenses and employee compensation against an IDI would be afforded a priority over other general unsecured claims against such an institution in the "liquidation or other resolution" of such an institution by any receiver. If an IDI fails, insured and uninsured depositors, along with the FDIC, will have priority in payment ahead of unsecured, non-deposit creditors, including depositors whose deposits are payable only outside of the U.S. and the parent BHC, with respect to any extensions of credit they have made to such IDI.
Financial Privacy and Cybersecurity
The federal banking regulators have adopted rules that limit the ability of banks and other financial institutions to disclose non-public and personally identifiable information about consumers to non-affiliated third parties. These limitations require disclosure of privacy policies to consumers and, in some circumstances, allow consumers to prevent disclosure of certain personal information to a non-affiliated third party. These regulations affect how consumer information is transmitted through diversified financial companies and conveyed to outside vendors. In addition, consumers may also prevent disclosure of certain information among affiliated companies that is assembled or used to determine eligibility for a product or service, such as that shown on consumer credit reports and asset and income information from applications. Consumers also have the option to direct banks and other financial institutions not to share information about transactions and experiences with affiliated companies for the purpose of marketing products or services. Federal law makes it a criminal offense, except in limited circumstances, to obtain or attempt to obtain customer information of a financial nature by fraudulent or deceptive means.
The federal banking agencies require banking organizations to notify their primary regulator as soon as possible and within 36 hours of determining that a "notification incident" has occurred. A notification incident is a "computer-security incident" that has materially disrupted or degraded, or is reasonably likely to materially disrupt or degrade, the banking organization’s ability to deliver services to a material portion of its customer base, jeopardize the viability of key operations of the banking organization, or impact the stability of the financial sector. The final rule also requires specific and immediate notifications by bank service providers that become aware of similar incidents.
Financial institutions regulated by the NYSDFS, including M&T Bank, are also subject to NYSDFS regulations on cybersecurity matters, including, among other things, requirements to (i) establish and maintain a cybersecurity program designed to ensure the confidentiality, integrity and availability of their information systems; (ii) implement and maintain a written cybersecurity policy setting forth policies and procedures for the protection of their information systems and nonpublic information; and (iii) designate a CISO.
In November 2023, the NYSDFS adopted amendments to its cybersecurity regulations that represent a significant update to the regulation of cybersecurity practices. The amendments generally fall within the following five categories: (i) increased mandatory controls associated with common attack vectors; (ii) enhanced requirements for privileged accounts; (iii) enhanced notification obligations; (iv) expansion of cyber governance practices; and (v) additional cybersecurity
requirements for larger companies. Most of the amendments became effective in 2024, and all of the amendments were effective by the end of 2025.
In July 2023, the SEC adopted new rules that require registrants, such as M&T, to (i) report material cybersecurity incidents on Form 8-K and (ii) disclose in its Annual Report on Form 10-K cybersecurity policies and procedures and governance practices, including at the board and management levels. This disclosure is included herein in Part I, Item 1C, "Cybersecurity."
Many states and regulators have been increasingly active in implementing privacy and cybersecurity standards and regulations, including implementing or modifying their data breach notification and data privacy requirements. One example of such state legislation is the California Consumer Privacy Act, which became effective in January 2020 and applies to for-profit businesses that conduct business in California and meet certain revenue or data collection thresholds. Amendments expanding the scope of and requirements under the California Consumer Privacy Act generally became effective in January 2023 and additional updates to the corresponding regulations were effective on January 1, 2026.
Consumer Protection Laws and the CFPB Supervision
In connection with their respective lending and leasing activities, M&T Bank, Wilmington Trust, N.A. and certain of their subsidiaries, are each subject to a number of federal and state laws designed to protect consumers and promote lending to various sectors of the economy. Such laws include but are not limited to: the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act, the Gramm-Leach Bliley Act, the Truth in Lending Act, the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act, the Electronic Fund Transfer Act, the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, the Military Lending Act, the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act, and various state law counterparts. Furthermore, the CFPB has issued integrated disclosure requirements under the Truth in Lending Act and the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act that relate to the provision of disclosures to consumers. There are also consumer protection laws governing deposit taking/account activities (e.g. the Expedited Funds Availability Act, the Truth in Savings Act and the Electronic Fund Transfer Act), as well as securities and insurance laws governing certain aspects of the Company’s consolidated operations.
The CFPB has broad powers to supervise and enforce most federal financial consumer protection laws. The CFPB has broad rule-making authority for a wide range of consumer protection laws that apply to all banks and savings institutions, including the authority to prohibit "unfair, deceptive or abusive" acts and practices which violate the Consumer Financial Protection Act. The CFPB has examination and enforcement authority over all banks and savings institutions with more than $10 billion in assets, including M&T Bank.
In October 2024, the CFPB finalized a new rule that requires a provider of payment accounts or products, such as a bank, to make data available to consumers upon request regarding the products or services they obtain from the provider. Any such data provider also has to make such data available to third parties, with the consumer’s express authorization and through an interface that satisfies formatting, performance and security standards, for the purpose of such third parties providing the consumer with financial products or services requested by the consumer. Data required to be made available under the rule includes transaction information, account balance, account and routing numbers, terms and conditions, upcoming bill information, and certain account verification data. The rule is intended to give consumers control over their financial data, including with whom it is shared, and encourage competition in the provision of consumer financial products or services. The proposed rule is the subject of litigation, which is currently stayed while the CFPB considers revisions to the proposal.
During 2025, the CFPB significantly reduced its staff. The reduction in force is the subject of litigation, and the staffing cuts are currently stayed pending the federal circuit court's rehearing of the
case. The impact of these developments on banking organizations subject to CFPB regulation and supervision, including the Company, is uncertain.
In October 2023, the Federal Reserve proposed amendments to its rules on interchange fees. Interchange fees, or "swipe" fees, are charges that merchants pay to card-issuing banks, such as M&T Bank, for processing electronic payment transactions. If adopted as proposed, the proposed rule would lower the maximum permissible interchange fee that issuers may collect.
Federal law permits states to adopt consumer protection laws and standards that are more stringent than those adopted at the federal level and, in certain circumstances, permits state attorneys general to enforce compliance with both the state and federal laws and regulations. For example, in December 2023, a New York State law requiring credit card issuers such as M&T Bank to notify consumers before making changes to or terminating rewards programs associated with the credit card became effective. In January 2025, the NYSDFS proposed rules that would limit a New York State-chartered bank’s ability to charge overdraft and insufficient funds fees and returned deposited items fees in certain circumstances and impose on such banks notice and disclosure requirements in connection with those fees. States and state attorneys general may increase regulatory, investigative and enforcement activity with respect to consumer protection, in response to changes in regulation, supervision and enforcement of consumer protection laws by federal regulators.
CRA
The CRA is intended to encourage depository institutions to help meet the credit needs of the communities in which they operate, including low- and moderate-income neighborhoods, consistent with safe and sound operations. CRA examinations are conducted by the federal agencies that are responsible for supervising the relevant depository institutions: the Federal Reserve, the FDIC and the OCC. For purposes of the CRA, M&T is regulated by the Federal Reserve. A financial institution’s performance in helping to meet the credit needs of its community is evaluated in the context of information about the institution (capacity, constraints and business strategies), its community (including population, income, housing, and other economic data, as well as lending, investment, and service opportunities), and its competitors and peers. Upon completion of a CRA examination, an overall CRA Rating is assigned using a four-tiered rating system. These ratings are: "Outstanding," "Satisfactory," "Needs to Improve" and "Substantial Noncompliance." The CRA evaluation is used in evaluating applications for future approval of bank activities including mergers, acquisitions, charters, branch openings and deposit facilities. An unsatisfactory CRA evaluation could result in the delay or denial of acquisition or merger applications, among other activities. M&T Bank's most recent CRA rating was "Outstanding" from the Federal Reserve. M&T Bank is also subject to New York State CRA examination and its most recent rating was "Outstanding" from the NYSDFS. Wilmington Trust, N.A. has been designated a special purpose trust company, and is therefore exempt from the requirements of the CRA.
In October 2023, the Federal Reserve, the FDIC and the OCC jointly issued a final rule to modernize CRA regulations and respond to change in the banking industry. In July 2025, those agencies issued a joint proposal to rescind the final rule.
BSA Regulation and AML Obligations
Federal laws and regulations impose obligations on U.S. financial institutions, including banks and broker-dealer subsidiaries, to implement and maintain appropriate policies, procedures and controls which are reasonably designed to prevent, detect and report instances of money laundering and the financing of terrorism and to verify the identity of their customers. These provisions also require the federal financial institution regulatory agencies to consider the effectiveness of a financial institution’s AML activities when reviewing bank mergers and BHC acquisitions. Failure of a financial institution to maintain and implement adequate programs to combat money laundering and
terrorist financing could have serious legal and reputational consequences for the institution, including the denial by federal regulators of proposed merger, acquisition, restructuring or other expansionary activity.
The FinCEN, which drafts regulations implementing the U.S. Patriot Act and other AML and BSA legislation, has adopted rules that require financial institutions to, among other things, obtain beneficial ownership information with respect to legal entities with which such institutions conduct business, subject to certain exclusions and exemptions. Bank regulators conduct focused examinations on AML compliance, and M&T continues to monitor and augment, where necessary, its BSA/AML Compliance Program. The AML Act of 2020, which amends the BSA, was enacted in January 2021.
In August 2024, FinCEN adopted a rule extending AML obligations, including maintenance of an AML program and filing certain reports with FinCEN, to registered investment advisers, like certain of M&T’s subsidiaries. In December 2025, FinCEN delayed the effective date of the rule to January 1, 2028 to allow FinCEN to review the rule and ensure it is effectively tailored to the diverse business models and risk profiles of investment advisors and provide such investment advisors more time to come into compliance with the rule upon the revised effective date.
OFAC Regulation
The U.S. has imposed economic sanctions that prohibit transactions with designated foreign countries, nationals and others. The OFAC-administered sanctions targeting those countries take many different forms. Generally, however, they contain one or more of the following elements: (i) restrictions on trade with or investment in a sanctioned country, including prohibitions against direct or indirect imports from and exports to a sanctioned country and prohibitions on "U.S. persons" engaging in financial transactions relating to making investments in, or providing investment-related advice or assistance to, a sanctioned country; and (ii) a blocking of assets in which the government or specially designated nationals of the sanctioned country have an interest, by prohibiting transfers of property subject to U.S. jurisdiction (including property in the possession or control of U.S. persons). Blocked assets (e.g. property and bank deposits) cannot be paid out, withdrawn, set off or transferred in any manner without a license from OFAC. Failure to comply with these sanctions could have serious legal and reputational consequences, including denial by federal regulators of proposed merger, acquisition, restructuring, or other expansionary activity.
Federal Reserve Policies
The earnings of the Company are significantly affected by the monetary and fiscal policies of governmental authorities, including the Federal Reserve. Among the instruments of monetary policy used by the Federal Reserve are open-market operations in U.S. government securities and federal funds, changes in the discount rate on member bank borrowings and changes in reserve requirements against member bank deposits. These instruments of monetary policy are used in varying combinations to influence the overall level of bank loans, investments and deposits, and the interest rates charged on loans and paid for deposits. The Federal Reserve frequently uses these instruments of monetary policy, especially its open-market operations and the discount rate, to influence the level of interest rates and to affect the strength of the economy, the level of inflation or the price of the dollar in foreign exchange markets. The monetary policies of the Federal Reserve have had a significant effect on the operating results of banking institutions in the past and are expected to continue to do so in the future. It is not possible to predict the nature of future changes in monetary and fiscal policies or the effect which they may have on the Company’s business and earnings.
Climate-Related and Other Sustainability Developments
In recent years, certain lawmakers and regulators in and outside of the U.S. have increased their focus on financial institutions’ and other companies’ risk oversight, disclosures and practices in connection with climate change and other sustainability matters. Several states in which the Company operates have enacted or proposed statutes, regulations or guidance addressing climate change and other sustainability issues. For example, in December 2023, the NYSDFS published guidance on climate-related financial risk management applicable to NYSDFS-regulated banking and mortgage organizations, including M&T Bank. The guidance addresses material financial risks related to climate change faced by these organizations in the context of risk assessment, risk management, and risk appetite setting. In October 2023, California enacted laws requiring certain companies doing business in California to make certain climate-related disclosures, including but not limited to greenhouse gas emissions data and climate-related risks.
Fair Access to Financial Services
In recent years, certain states have enacted, or have proposed to enact, statutes, regulations or policies that prohibit financial institutions from denying or canceling products or services to a person or business, or otherwise discriminating against a person or business in making available products or services, on the basis of certain social or political factors or other activities. In August 2025 Executive Order 14331, “Guaranteeing Fair Banking Access for All Americans,” was signed, which states that it is the policy of the U.S. that no American should be denied access to financial services because of their constitutionally or statutorily protected beliefs, affiliations or political views. The Executive Order directs the U.S. Treasury Secretary and federal banking regulators to address politicized or unlawful debanking activities.
Corporate Governance
In accordance with SEC rules, M&T will post on its website or file a Form 8-K to report any amendment to or waiver from any provision of the Code of Ethics for Chief Executive Officer and Senior Financial Officers or the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to its Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Controller, or persons performing similar functions. Copies of such governance documents are also available, free of charge, to any person who requests them. Such requests may be directed to M&T Bank Corporation, Shareholder Relations Department, One M&T Plaza, Buffalo, NY 14203 (Telephone: (716) 842-5138).
Further information regarding the Company's corporate governance, including the Board of Directors, its committee structure and membership and the Company’s governance policies and principles, is provided in the 2026 Proxy Statement, which will be filed with the SEC pursuant to Regulation 14A not later than 120 days after the end of 2025. The Company also makes available on its website at the Investor Relations link under the heading “Corporate Governance:” (i) its Corporate Governance Standards; (ii) its code of ethics, including the M&T Code of Business Conduct and Ethics and the M&T Code of Ethics for Chief Executive Officer and Senior Financial Officers; and (iii) the charters of the standing committees of the Board of Directors. If the Company makes changes in, or provides waivers from, the provisions of its code of ethics that the SEC requires it to disclose, the Company intends to disclose these events in the “Corporate Governance” section of its Investor Relations website.
Human Capital Resources
M&T recognizes that its employees are the difference makers that drive its success. The Company’s strategy to create and maintain a highly competitive workforce focuses on recruiting, engaging, developing and retaining high-performing individuals whose strengths align with M&T’s values, purpose and leadership competencies. As of December 31, 2025, the Company employed 21,839 full-time and 439 part-time employees. That employee base was concentrated in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic U.S., with approximately 47% of employees residing in New York, followed by approximately 10% in Maryland, 9% in Connecticut, 7% in each of Pennsylvania and Delaware and 12% in other states where M&T Bank operates domestic banking offices. Approximately 8% of the Company’s employee base resides outside of its retail banking footprint, inclusive of 148 international employees predominantly based in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Canada and Germany. The Company’s employee base includes 5,473 employees that support customers in the retail banking office network. Overall, the average tenure of the Company’s employees is 9.5 years and the average tenure of the Company’s executive officers is 16.3 years.
Talent Attraction, Engagement and Development
The Company leverages various channels to effectively identify, develop and recruit high-caliber talent throughout its footprint including its existing employee base. Employees regularly attend recruiting events with organizations and audiences across various backgrounds. The Company also recruits at a broad range of higher education institutions throughout its footprint and engages with various industry groups and organizations to promote job opportunities. In addition, the Company leverages candidate experience surveys to help improve the applicant experience.
M&T’s commitment to recruiting top talent and regularly soliciting their feedback helps to create a highly engaged employee base that drives success. The Company conducts "Annual Engagement Surveys," with average participation rates around 90%, demonstrating a commitment to fostering candid, open and honest two-way communication with employees to enhance the workplace. M&T leverages a continuous employee listening strategy, checking-in with employees on key engagement items throughout the year to develop a more wholistic understanding of their experience, act faster on items impacting engagement and drive better prioritization and decision making. M&T also conducts other surveys at critical moments throughout an employee's journey including new hire onboarding, separation from the Company and in connection with certain key events, such as acquisitions. Survey results are reviewed with senior management and shared with individual managers, who identify and implement improvements based on employees’ feedback, and are presented to M&T's Board of Directors. Employees also participate in action planning within individual work groups.
The Company also encourages engagement with communities through the allotment of 40 hours of paid volunteer time each year. M&T employees volunteer thousands of hours and serve on the boards of hundreds of not-for-profit organizations within the communities the Company serves.
Another key pillar of engagement, employee development and growth, is fostered through the Company's strong performance management philosophy focused on reinforcing corporate values, providing continuous, transparent feedback and recognizing and rewarding outstanding performance. Additional employee development is cultivated through a variety of learning offerings on topics such as technical skills, job-specific knowledge and professional development, including courses aligned with the Company's enterprise-wide leadership competencies. The Company also invests in cultivating its leaders of tomorrow through various internal programs including its Manager Acceleration Program, Management Development Program, Executive Associate Program, Technology Development Program, Rising Leadership Development Program and Ascend Sponsorship Program.
Compensation, Health and Wellness
The Company provides comprehensive compensation and benefits programs intended to attract, retain and incentivize its employees. In addition to base pay, these programs (which vary by country and region) include cash incentives, long term equity-based awards, an employee stock purchase plan, a 401(k) plan, health insurance benefits, health savings and flexible spending accounts, paid time off, parental leave, family care resources, flexible work schedules, employee assistance programs and tuition assistance, among others. The Company’s wellness programs provide employees and their families with resources that may be helpful in navigating life events and are designed to help employees improve their well-being. In addition to addressing employees’ physical needs through flexible and convenient telemedicine options, M&T supports emotional health and social well-being through various mental and behavioral health programs offered to employees. The Company also supports employees' financial wellness through free educational resources.
Competition
The Company faces extensive and intensive competition in the products and services it offers. The Company competes in offering commercial and personal financial and wealth services with other banking institutions and thrifts and with firms in a number of other industries, such as credit unions, personal loan companies, sales finance companies, leasing companies, securities brokerage firms, mutual fund companies, hedge funds, private credit funds, wealth and investment advisory firms, insurance companies and other financial services-related entities. Furthermore, diversified financial services companies are able to offer a combination of these services to their customers on a nationwide basis. Financial technology companies, using digital, mobile and other technologies, including stablecoins, also are increasingly offering traditional banking products and services (or products and services that could be viewed as substitutes for traditional banking products and services), which has resulted in the Company contending with a broader range of competitors, including many that are not located within the geographic footprint of the Company’s banking office network.

Risk Factors
M&T and its subsidiaries face a number of potential risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict. As a financial institution, certain risk elements are inherent in the ordinary course of the Company’s business activities and adverse experience with those risks could have a material impact on the Company’s business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations, as well as on the values of the Company’s financial instruments and M&T’s debt and equity securities, including its common stock. The following risk factors set forth some of the risks that could materially and adversely impact the Company, although there may be additional risks that are not presently material or known that may adversely affect the Company.
Market Risk
Weakness in the economy, or fluctuations in market factors, has adversely affected the Company in the past and may adversely affect the Company in the future.
Poor business and economic conditions in general or specifically in markets served by the Company could have adverse effects on the Company’s business including:
•A decrease in the demand for loans and other products and services offered by the Company.
•A decrease in net interest income derived from the Company’s lending and deposit gathering activities.
•A decrease in the value of the Company’s investment securities, loans held for sale or other assets secured by residential or commercial real estate.
•A decrease in fees from the Company’s brokerage, trust, and investment management businesses associated with declines or lack of growth in stock market prices.
•Potential higher FDIC assessments due to the DIF falling below minimum required levels or special FDIC assessments relating to the failure of specific banks.
•An impairment of certain intangible assets, such as goodwill.
•An increase in the number of customers and counterparties who become delinquent, file for protection under bankruptcy laws or default on their loans or other obligations to the Company. An increase in the number of delinquencies, bankruptcies or defaults could result in higher levels of nonperforming assets, net charge-offs, provision for credit losses as well as impairment write-downs of certain investment securities and valuation adjustments on loans held for sale.
•A decrease in the value of the collateral securing the Company's loans.
If recessionary economic conditions develop, they would likely have a negative financial impact across the financial services industry, including on the Company. If recessionary economic conditions are more severe, the extent of the negative impact on the Company’s business and financial performance can increase and be more severe, including the adverse effects listed above and discussed throughout this "Risk Factors" section.
In recent years, there have been significant changes in rates of inflation and interest rates. Volatility and uncertainty related to inflation and the effects of inflation, including potential volatility in interest rates, could lead to increased costs for businesses and consumers and potentially contribute to poor business and economic conditions generally, which could also enhance or contribute to some of the risks discussed herein. For example, higher inflation, or volatility and uncertainty related to inflation, could reduce demand for the Company’s products, adversely affect the creditworthiness of the Company’s borrowers, result in lower values for the Company’s investment securities and other interest-earning assets and increase expense related to talent acquisition and retention.
Additionally, economic conditions, financial markets and inflationary pressures may be adversely affected by the impact of current or anticipated geopolitical uncertainties; military conflicts; political uncertainty in the U.S.; potential changes to federal taxation rates; the impact of international trade policies, including tariffs; pandemics; and global, national and local responses thereto by governmental authorities and other third parties. These unpredictable events could create, increase or prolong economic and financial disruptions and volatility that adversely affects the Company’s business, financial condition, capital and results of operations.
Concern regarding the ability of Congress to reach agreement on federal budgetary matters (including the debt ceiling), or total or partial governmental shutdowns, also can adversely affect the economy and increase the risk of economic instability or market volatility, which could have adverse consequences on the Company's business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations.
The Company’s business and financial performance is impacted significantly by market interest rates and movements in those rates. The monetary and other related policies of governmental agencies, including the Federal Reserve, have a significant impact on interest rates and overall financial market performance over which the Company has no control and which the Company may not be able to anticipate adequately.
The Federal Reserve, through the FOMC, may raise or lower interest rates in response to economic conditions, particularly inflationary pressures and unemployment statistics. The FOMC increased the federal funds target interest rate through several hikes during 2022 and 2023 and held that interest rate at the elevated level until it began decreasing the federal funds target interest rate in September through December 2024. The FOMC then maintained the target interest rate in 2025, before decreasing it in each of September, October and December 2025. As a result of the high percentage of the Company’s assets and liabilities that are in the form of interest-bearing or interest-related instruments, changes in interest rates, including in the shape of the yield curve or in spreads between different market interest rates, as well as changes linked to inflation, can have a material effect on the Company’s business and profitability and the value of the Company’s assets and liabilities. For example, changes in interest rates or interest rate spreads may:
•Affect the difference between the interest that the Company earns on assets and the interest that the Company pays on liabilities, which impacts the Company’s overall net interest income and profitability.
•Adversely affect the ability of borrowers to meet obligations under variable or adjustable-rate loans and other debt instruments (including due to an inability to refinance loans), which, in turn, affects the Company’s loss rates on those assets.
•Decrease the demand for interest rate-based products and services, including loans and deposits.
•Affect the Company’s ability to hedge various forms of market and interest rate risk and may decrease the profitability or protection or increase the risk or cost associated with such hedges.
•Affect mortgage prepayment speeds and result in the impairment of capitalized mortgage loan servicing assets, reduce the value of loans held for sale and increase the volatility of mortgage banking revenues, potentially adversely affecting the Company’s results of operations.
The monetary and other related policies of the government and its agencies, including the Federal Reserve, have a significant impact on interest rates and overall financial market performance. These governmental policies can thus affect the activities and results of operations of banking organizations such as the Company. An important function of the Federal Reserve is to regulate the national supply of bank credit and certain interest rates. The actions of the Federal Reserve influence the rates of interest that the Company charges on loans and that the Company pays on borrowings and interest-bearing deposits and can also affect the value of the Company’s on-balance sheet and off-balance sheet financial instruments.
The Company is routinely subject to examinations from various governmental taxing authorities that may result in challenges to the Company’s tax return treatment.
The Company is routinely subject to examinations from various governmental taxing authorities. Such examinations may result in challenges to the tax return treatment applied by the Company to specific transactions. Management believes that the assumptions and judgment used to record tax-related assets or liabilities have been appropriate. Should tax laws change or the tax authorities' interpretations of tax laws and regulations differ from management’s assumptions or interpretations,
the result and adjustments required could have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations. M&T cannot predict the nature or timing of future changes in monetary, tax and other policies or the effect that they may have on the Company’s business activities, financial condition and results of operations.
The Company’s business and performance is vulnerable to the impact of volatility in debt and equity markets.
As most of the Company’s assets and liabilities are financial in nature, the Company’s performance is sensitive to the performance of the financial markets. Turmoil and volatility in U.S. and global financial markets can be a major contributory factor to overall weak economic conditions, leading to some of the risks discussed herein, including the impaired ability of borrowers and other counterparties to meet obligations to the Company. Financial market volatility may:
•Affect the value or liquidity of the Company’s on-balance sheet and off-balance sheet financial instruments.
•Affect the value of capitalized servicing assets.
•Affect M&T’s ability to access capital markets to raise funds. Inability to access capital markets if needed, at cost effective rates, could adversely affect the Company’s liquidity and results of operations.
•Affect the value of the assets that the Company manages or otherwise administers or services for others. Although the Company is not directly impacted by changes in the value of such assets, decreases in the value of those assets would affect related fee income and could result in decreased demand for the Company’s services.
•Impact the nature, profitability or risk profile of the financial transactions in which the Company engages.
Volatility in the markets for real estate and other assets commonly securing financial products has been and may continue to be a significant contributor to overall volatility in financial markets. In addition, unfavorable or uncertain economic and market conditions can be caused by supply chain disruptions, the imposition of tariffs or other limitations on international trade, travel and immigration, as well as elevated inflation, which can result in market volatility, negatively impact client activity, and adversely affect the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.
The Company’s regional concentrations expose it to adverse economic conditions in its primary retail banking office footprint.
The Company’s core banking business is largely concentrated within the Company’s retail banking office network footprint, located principally in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions. Therefore, the Company is, or in the future may be, particularly vulnerable to adverse changes in economic conditions in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions, as well as events particularly affecting those regions. The credit quality of the Company’s borrowers may deteriorate for reasons that are outside the Company’s control, including prevailing economic and market conditions and asset valuations. The trends and risks affecting borrower credit quality, particularly in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions, have caused, and in the future may cause, the Company to experience impairment charges, which are reductions in the recoverable value of an asset, and higher costs (e.g. servicing, foreclosure, property maintenance), each of which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
The discontinuation of benchmark rates as permissible rate indices in new contracts and the development of alternative benchmark indices to replace discontinued benchmarks could adversely impact the Company’s business and results of operations.
The Company’s floating-rate funding, certain hedging transactions and a significant portion of the Company’s products, such as floating-rate loans and mortgages, determine the applicable interest rate or payment amount by reference to a benchmark rate or to an alternative index.
In the past, the regulators and administrators of certain benchmark rates have determined to cease publication of those rates, and they may do so again in the future with respect to other benchmark rates the Company utilizes. Any cessation of a benchmark rate and resulting transition to a successor benchmark would be complex and unpredictable, giving rise to a variety of risks, including operational risks, risks of value transfer between contract parties, the potential for customer disputes and litigation, as well as regulatory scrutiny.
Risks Relating to Compliance and the Regulatory Environment
The Company is subject to extensive government regulation and supervision and this regulatory environment can be and has been significantly impacted by financial regulatory reform initiatives.
The Company is subject to extensive federal and state regulation and supervision. Banking regulations are primarily intended to protect consumers, depositors and the financial system as a whole, not securities holders, including the holders of common stock. These regulations and supervisory guidance affect the Company’s sale and lending practices, capital structure, capital distributions and dividend policy, investment practices, growth and expansionary activity, among other things. Failure to comply with laws, regulations or policies, or to meet supervisory expectations, could result in civil or criminal penalties, including monetary penalties, the loss of FDIC insurance, the revocation of a banking charter, other sanctions by regulatory agencies, such as restrictions on growth, and/or reputational damage, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations. Following the failures of certain banks in 2023, banking regulators proposed changes, or indicated the potential for changes, regarding the regulation and supervision of banking organizations, in particular those, such as M&T, with $100 billion or more in assets. States and state regulatory authorities may also revise their regulatory and supervisory frameworks, or increase investigative and enforcement activity, in response to changes in regulation, supervision and enforcement by federal regulators. The introduction of new or more stringent regulatory requirements, as well as further heightening of supervisory expectations, could require the Company to maintain additional capital or liquidity or incur significant expenses.
Government authorities, including the bank regulatory agencies, can pursue aggressive enforcement actions with respect to compliance and other legal matters involving financial activities, which heightens the risks associated with actual and perceived compliance failures and may also adversely affect the Company’s ability to enter into certain transactions or engage in certain activities, or obtain necessary regulatory approvals in connection therewith. In general, the amounts paid by financial institutions in settlement of proceedings or investigations have increased substantially and are likely to remain elevated. In some cases, governmental authorities have required criminal pleas or admissions of wrongdoing as part of such settlements, which could have significant collateral consequences for a financial institution, including loss of customers, restrictions on the ability to access the capital markets, and the inability to operate certain businesses or offer certain products for a period of time. In addition, enforcement matters could impact the Company’s supervisory and CRA ratings, which may in turn restrict or limit the Company’s activities. A prior enforcement action also increases the risk that regulators and governmental authorities pursue formal
enforcement actions in connection with the resolution of an inquiry or investigation, even if unrelated to the prior enforcement action.
Any new regulatory requirements, changes to existing requirements, or changes to interpretations of requirements could require changes to the Company’s businesses, result in increased compliance costs and affect the profitability of such businesses. Additionally, such activity could affect the behaviors of third parties with which the Company deals in the ordinary course of business, such as rating agencies, insurance companies and investors. Litigation challenging actions or regulations by Federal or state authorities could, depending on the outcome, significantly affect the regulatory and supervisory framework affecting the Company’s operations. For example, there is litigation pending to challenge the Federal Reserve’s regulation on permissible interchange fees on the grounds that the regulations allow higher interchange fees than permitted by statute, which, if successful, could significantly and adversely affect the fees banks can charge on debit card transactions. In August 2025, a district court ruled against the Federal Reserve and vacated the regulation, but its order is stayed pending appeal to the circuit court. Heightened regulatory scrutiny, requirements or expectations could have significant effects on the Company, including through restrictions on growth or required remediation activities and associated resource requirements, and, in turn, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
For more information on the regulations to which the Company is subject and recent initiatives to reform financial institution regulation, see Part I, Item 1, "Business."
The Company may be subject to more stringent capital and liquidity requirements.
BHCs, including M&T, are subject to capital and liquidity requirements and standards imposed as a result of the Dodd-Frank Act (as amended by EGRRCPA) and the U.S. Basel III-based capital rules. For additional information, see "Capital Requirements" under Part I, Item 1, "Business."
Regulators have implemented and may, from time to time, implement changes to these regulatory capital adequacy and liquidity requirements. If the Company fails to meet these minimum capital adequacy and liquidity requirements and other regulatory requirements, its business activities, including lending, and its ability to expand, either organically or through acquisitions, could be limited. It could also result in M&T being required to take steps to increase its regulatory capital that may be dilutive to shareholders or limit its ability to pay dividends or otherwise return capital to shareholders, or sell or refrain from acquiring assets. In addition, the liquidity-related provisions of the Federal Reserve’s liquidity-related enhanced prudential supervision requirements may reduce the Company’s ability to invest in other longer-term assets even if deemed more desirable from a balance sheet management perspective, which could adversely affect its net interest income and net interest margin. A determination by the Federal Reserve that M&T does not meet supervisory expectations regarding capital planning or liquidity risk management could have a variety of adverse consequences, including ratings downgrades, heightened supervisory scrutiny, expenses associated with remediation activities and potentially an enforcement action.
See "Capital Requirements" and "Resolution Planning and Resolution-Related Requirements" under Part I, Item 1, "Business" for information regarding the federal banking regulators’ July 2023 proposal implementing revisions to the Basel capital framework and August 2023 long-term debt proposal. The long-term debt proposal, if adopted, would require the Company to maintain more long-term debt than it does currently, which would likely adversely affect interest expense, net interest income and net interest margin.
M&T’s ability to return capital to shareholders and to pay dividends on common stock may be adversely affected by market and other factors outside of its control and will depend, in part, on the results of supervisory stress tests administered by the Federal Reserve.
Any decision by M&T to return capital to shareholders, whether through a common stock dividend or a common stock share repurchase program, requires the approval of M&T’s Board of Directors and must comply with applicable capital regulations, including the maintenance of capital ratios exceeding specified minimum levels and applicable buffers.
Under the Tailoring Rules, for BHCs designated as Category IV institutions, including M&T, the Federal Reserve conducts biennial supervisory stress tests required under the Dodd-Frank Act whereby the BHC’s financial position is tested under assumed severely adverse economic conditions. The results of those stress tests are incorporated in the determination of M&T’s SCB. As a general matter, if M&T is unable to maintain capital in excess of regulatory minimum levels inclusive of its SCB, it would be subject to limitations on its ability to make capital distributions, including paying dividends and repurchasing stock. At December 31, 2025 M&T's SCB was 2.7%. The results of future supervisory stress tests and the impact of proposed revisions to capital requirements upon the stress testing framework are uncertain, and a more severe outcome may result in a higher SCB and an increase in M&T’s effective capital requirements. An increased SCB may restrict M&T’s ability to return capital to shareholders, including through paying dividends, entering into acquisitions or repurchasing its common stock, which in turn could negatively impact market and investor perceptions of M&T.
The Federal Reserve has in the past implemented, and may in the future implement, restrictions on share repurchase programs and common stock dividends at large BHCs such as M&T, including in response to adverse or uncertain economic conditions.
If an orderly liquidation of a systemically important BHC or non-bank financial company were triggered, M&T could face assessments for the OLF.
The Dodd-Frank Act created a mechanism, the OLF, for liquidation of systemically important BHCs and non-bank financial companies. The OLF is administered by the FDIC and is based on the FDIC’s bank resolution model. The Secretary of the U.S. Treasury may trigger a liquidation under this authority after consultation with the President of the U.S. and after receiving a recommendation from the boards of the FDIC and the Federal Reserve upon a two-thirds vote. Liquidation proceedings will be funded by the OLF, which will borrow from the U.S. Treasury and impose risk-based assessments on covered financial companies. Risk-based assessments would be first made on entities that received more in the resolution than they would have received in the liquidation to the extent of such excess, and second, if necessary, on, among others, BHCs with total consolidated assets of $50 billion or more, such as M&T. Any such assessments may adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition or results of operations.
Credit Risk
Deteriorating credit quality could adversely impact the Company.
As a lender, the Company is exposed to the risk that customers will be unable to repay their loans and other obligations in accordance with the terms of the relevant agreements, and that any collateral securing the loans and obligations may be insufficient to assure full repayment. Credit losses are inherent in the business of making loans and entering into other financial arrangements.
Factors that influence the Company’s credit loss experience include: (i) overall economic conditions affecting businesses and consumers, generally; (ii) the impact of commercial and residential real estate values on loans to real estate builders and developers and other loans secured by such real estate; (iii) the concentration of commercial real estate loans in the Company’s loan
portfolio, including construction loans, loans secured by office, retail, health services, hospitality and multifamily properties and loans secured by property in the New York City and certain other large metropolitan areas; (iv) the concentration of commercial and industrial loans to businesses in the Northeastern and Mid-Atlantic regions of the U.S.; (v) the repayment performance associated with first and second lien loans secured by residential real estate; and (vi) the size of the Company’s portfolio of loans to individual consumers, which historically have experienced higher net charge-offs as a percent of loans outstanding than loans to other types of borrowers. The Company’s credit risk and the performance of its lending portfolios may be affected by concentration in an industry, geography or asset type. As described further in this "Risk Factors" section, the Company’s credit risks may be increased by the impacts of elevated inflation, poor or recessionary economic conditions and financial market volatility.
Commercial real estate valuations can be highly subjective as they are based upon many assumptions. Such valuations can be significantly affected over relatively short periods of time by changes in business climate, economic conditions, interest rates and, in many cases, the results of operations of businesses and other occupants of the real property. Evolving factors such as the shift to work-from-home or hybrid-work arrangements, changing consumer preferences (including for online shopping), and resulting changes in occupancy rates as a result of these and other trends can also impact such valuations over relatively short periods. Similarly, residential real estate valuations can be impacted by housing trends, the availability of financing at reasonable interest rates, governmental policy regarding housing and housing finance, and general economic conditions affecting consumers, as described above.
The Company maintains an allowance for loan losses that represents, in management’s judgment, the amount of losses expected in the loan portfolio. The allowance is determined by management’s evaluation of the loan portfolio based on such factors as the differing economic risks associated with each loan category, the current financial condition of specific borrowers, the current and forecasted economic environment in which borrowers operate, the level of delinquent loans, the value of any collateral and, where applicable, the existence of any guarantees or indemnifications. Management believes that the allowance for loan losses as of December 31, 2025 appropriately reflects expected credit losses in the loan portfolio. However, there is no assurance that the allowance is sufficient to cover all credit losses that may occur.
The Company may be adversely affected by the soundness of other financial institutions.
Financial services institutions are interrelated as a result of trading, clearing, counterparty, and other relationships. The Company has exposure to many different industries and counterparties, and routinely executes transactions with counterparties in the financial services industry, including commercial banks, brokers and dealers, investment banks, and other institutional clients. Many of these transactions expose the Company to credit risk in the event of a default by a counterparty or client. In addition, the Company’s credit risk may be exacerbated when the collateral held by the Company cannot be realized or is liquidated at prices not sufficient to recover the full amount of the credit due to or derivative exposure of the Company. Any resulting losses could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.
In addition, adverse developments at other financial institutions, including failures of other financial institutions, could result in negative media coverage regarding the financial services industry, which may negatively influence the perceptions of investors, borrowers or depositors regarding the financial services industry in general, a subset of financial institutions or M&T in particular.
Liquidity Risk
The Company must maintain adequate sources of funding and liquidity.
The Company must maintain adequate funding sources in the normal course of business to support its operations and fund outstanding liabilities, as well as meet regulatory requirements and supervisory expectations. The Company primarily relies on core customer deposits to be a reasonable cost and stable source of funding for the loans it makes and the operations of its business. Core customer deposits, which include noninterest-bearing deposits, interest-bearing transaction accounts, savings deposits and time deposits of $250,000 or less, have historically provided the Company with a sizeable source of relatively stable and low-cost funds. In addition to customer deposits, other sources of liquidity, including brokered deposits and borrowings from securities dealers, the FHLB of New York and the FRB of New York, as well as the debt and equity capital markets, are available to the Company.
The Company’s liquidity position and ability to fund and operate the business could be materially adversely affected by a variety of conditions and factors, including financial and credit market disruptions and volatility or a lack of market or customer confidence in financial markets in general, which may result in a loss of customer deposits or outflows of cash or collateral and/or ability to access capital markets on favorable terms. Negative news about the Company or the financial services industry generally may reduce market or customer confidence in the Company, which could in turn materially adversely affect the Company’s liquidity position and ability to raise funding. Such reputational damage may result in the loss of customer deposits, the inability to sell or securitize loans or other assets, and downgrades in one or more of the Company’s credit ratings, and may also negatively affect the Company’s ability to access the capital markets. A downgrade in the Company’s credit ratings, which could result from general industry-wide or regulatory factors not solely related to the Company, could adversely affect the Company’s ability to borrow funds, including by raising the cost of borrowings substantially, and could cause creditors and business counterparties to raise collateral requirements or take other actions that could adversely affect M&T’s ability to raise capital at a reasonable cost. Many of the above conditions and factors may be caused by events over which M&T has little or no control. There can be no assurance that significant disruption and volatility in the financial markets will not occur in the future.
Regulatory changes relating to liquidity and risk management may also negatively impact the Company’s results of operations and competitive position. Various regulations have been adopted to impose more stringent liquidity requirements for large financial institutions, including the Company. These regulations address, among other matters, liquidity stress testing and minimum liquidity requirements. The application of certain of these regulations to banking organizations, such as the Company, have been modified, including in connection with the implementation of the Tailoring Rules in the EGRRCPA.
If the Company is unable to continue to fund assets through customer deposits or access to other funding sources at reasonable terms or if the Company suffers an increase in borrowing costs or otherwise fails to manage liquidity effectively, the Company’s liquidity, operating margins, financial condition and results of operations may be materially adversely affected. The Company may also need to raise additional capital and liquidity through the issuance of stock, which could dilute the ownership of existing stockholders, or reduce or even eliminate common stock dividends or share repurchases to preserve capital and liquidity.
If the Company is unable to maintain or grow its deposits, it may be subject to paying higher funding costs.
The total amount that the Company pays for funding is dependent, in part, on the Company’s ability to maintain or grow its customer deposits. If the Company is unable to sufficiently maintain or grow
its deposits to meet liquidity objectives, it may be subject to paying higher funding costs. The Company competes with banks and other financial services companies for deposits and competition for those deposits remains robust. If competitors are slow to reduce rates they pay on deposits, the Company’s funding costs could be adversely impacted, either because the Company could be forced to hold rates higher to avoid losing deposits or the Company loses deposits and must rely on more expensive sources of funding. Customers may also move noninterest-bearing deposits to interest-bearing accounts, increasing the cost of those deposits. Checking and savings account balances and other forms of customer deposits may decrease when customers perceive alternative investments, such as the stock market, as providing a better risk/return tradeoff. The Company’s bank customers could withdraw their money and put it in alternative investments, causing the Company to lose a lower cost source of funding. Higher funding costs could reduce the Company’s net interest margin and net interest income.
The Company could be subject to sudden withdrawals of deposits, including because of negative media coverage, which may be spread through social media, regarding the financial services industry generally, a subset of financial institutions or M&T specifically. Online and mobile banking have made it easier for customers to withdraw their deposits or transfer funds to other accounts with short notice. This may make retaining deposits during periods of stress more difficult. In addition, depositors of certain types of deposits, such as uninsured or uncollateralized deposits, may be more likely to withdraw their deposits and do so more quickly. Any such withdrawals could result in higher funding costs to the Company as it loses a lower cost source of funding, and significant unanticipated withdrawals could materially and adversely affect the Company’s liquidity, financial condition and results of operations.
In July 2025 the GENIUS Act, which establishes a regulatory framework for “payment stablecoins” and their issuers, was signed into law. Consumers and businesses may view payment stablecoins as a substitute for traditional bank deposits, which could result in reduced levels of deposits in the banking system. Depending on consumer and business interest in payment stablecoins, and the characteristics and utility of payment stablecoins, the passage of the GENIUS Act could result in increased competition with respect to M&T’s bank subsidiaries’ deposit products. However, the GENIUS Act requires the U.S. Treasury Department and federal and state regulators to issue regulations on numerous topics to interpret and implement the statute, so the effect of the GENIUS Act will depend on what those regulations provide.
M&T relies on dividends from its subsidiaries for its liquidity.
M&T is a separate and distinct legal entity from its subsidiaries. M&T has typically received a substantial amount of its revenue from subsidiary dividends. These subsidiary dividends have been M&T’s principal source of funds to pay dividends on M&T common and preferred stock, pay interest and principal on its debt, and fund purchases of its common stock. Various federal and/or state laws and regulations, as well as regulatory expectations, limit the amount of dividends that M&T’s banking subsidiaries and certain non-bank subsidiaries may pay. Events in the banking industry have in the past resulted, and could in the future result, in increased regulatory focus on all aspects of capital planning, including dividends and other distributions to shareholders of banks, such as parent BHCs. See Part I, Item 1, "Business," "Supervision and Regulation of the Company" and "Distributions" for discussions of regulatory and other restrictions on dividend declarations. Also, M&T’s right to participate in a distribution of assets upon a subsidiary’s liquidation or reorganization is subject to the prior claims of that subsidiary’s creditors. Limitations on M&T’s ability to receive dividends from its subsidiaries could have a material adverse effect on its liquidity and ability to pay dividends on its stock or interest and principal on its debt, and ability to fund purchases of its common stock.
Strategic Risk
The financial services industry is highly competitive and creates competitive pressures that could adversely affect the Company’s revenue and profitability.
The financial services industry in which the Company operates is highly competitive. The Company competes not only with commercial and other banks and thrifts, but also with private credit funds, insurance companies, mutual funds, hedge funds, securities brokerage firms, financial technology companies and other companies offering financial services in the U.S., globally and over the Internet. Some of the Company’s non-bank competitors are not subject to the same extensive regulations the Company is, and may have greater flexibility in competing for business. In particular, the activity and prominence of so-called marketplace lenders and other technological financial services companies has grown significantly in recent years and is expected to continue growing. The Company competes on the basis of several factors, including capital, access to capital, revenue generation, products, services, transaction execution, innovation, reputation, and price. Over time, certain sectors of the financial services industry have become more concentrated, as institutions involved in a broad range of financial services have been acquired by or merged into other firms. These developments have and could continue to result in the Company’s competitors gaining greater capital and other resources, such as a broader range of products and services and geographic diversity. The Company has and may continue to experience pricing pressures as a result of these factors and as some of its competitors seek to increase market share.
Technological change is influencing how individuals and firms conduct their financial affairs and is changing the delivery channels for financial services. Financial technology providers, who invest substantial resources in developing and designing new technology (in particular digital and mobile technology) are beginning to offer more traditional banking products (either directly or through bank partnerships), or products that may be viewed as substitutes for traditional banking products, and may in the future be able to provide additional services by obtaining a bank-like charter, such as the OCC’s financial technology company charter. In addition, the emergence, adoption and evolution of new technologies that do not require intermediation, including distributed ledgers such as digital assets and blockchain, as well as advances in robotic process automation and AI, could significantly affect the competition for financial services. As a result, the Company has had and will likely continue to have to contend with a broader range of competitors including many that are not located within the geographic footprint of its banking office network. Further, along with other participants in the financial services industry, the Company frequently attempts to introduce new technology-driven products and services that are aimed at allowing the Company to better serve customers and to reduce costs. The Company may not be able to effectively implement new technology-driven products and services that allow it to remain competitive or be successful in marketing these products and services to its customers.
Difficulties in obtaining regulatory approval for acquisitions and in combining the operations of acquired entities with the Company’s own operations may prevent M&T from achieving expected benefits from acquisitions.
M&T has expanded its business through acquisitions in the past and may do so in the future. The Company’s ability to complete acquisitions is in many instances subject to regulatory approval, and the Company cannot be certain when or if, or on what terms and conditions, any required regulatory approvals would be granted. Any requisite approval could be delayed or not obtained at all, including due to, among other factors, an adverse development in either party’s regulatory standing or in any other factors considered by regulators when granting such approval, including factors not known at the time of entering into the definitive agreement for the acquisition or submission of the related application for regulatory approval, and factors that may arise subsequently; governmental, political
or community group inquiries, investigations or opposition, including those based on concerns regarding policies or practices related to fair access to financial services; or changes in legislation or the political environment more generally. Anticipated challenges in obtaining any requisite regulatory approval, or uncertainty as to the prospects for obtaining approvals, could also prevent the Company from pursuing a potential acquisition it may otherwise view as attractive.
In addition, inherent uncertainties exist when integrating the operations of an acquired entity. Acquiring other entities involves potential risks that could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations, including:
•Inability to fully achieve the Company’s strategic objectives and planned operating efficiencies in an acquisition.
•Issues arising during transition and integration.
•Disruption of the Company’s business and diversion of management’s time and attention.
•Exposure to unknown or contingent liabilities of acquired institutions.
•Loss of key employees and customers of acquired institutions.
•Dilution in the ownership percentage of holders of M&T common stock.
•Payment of a premium over book and market values that may dilute the Company’s tangible book value and earnings per common share in the short and long-term.
•Inability to realize the expected benefits of the acquisition due to lower financial results pertaining to the acquired entity. For example, the Company could experience higher credit losses, incur higher operating expenses or realize less revenue than originally anticipated related to an acquired entity.
•Changes in banking or tax laws or regulations that could impair or eliminate the expected benefits of merger and acquisition activities.
•Risks of harm to the Company's reputation.
The Company could suffer if it fails to attract and retain skilled personnel.
The Company's success depends, in large part, on its ability to attract and retain key individuals and to have a workforce of broad and varied skill sets. Competition for qualified and high-performing candidates in the activities in which the Company engages and markets that the Company serves is significant, and the Company may not be able to hire candidates and retain them. Growth in the Company’s business, including through acquisitions, may increase its need for additional qualified personnel. The Company is increasingly competing for personnel with financial technology providers and other less regulated entities who may not have the same limitations on compensation as the Company does. Recruiting and compensation costs may increase as a result of changes in the marketplace, which may increase costs and adversely impact the Company. The increase in remote and hybrid-work arrangements and opportunities in regional, national and global labor markets has also increased competition for the Company to attract and retain skilled personnel. The Company’s current or future approach to in-office and remote-work arrangements may not meet the needs or expectations of current or prospective employees or may not be perceived as favorable as compared with the arrangements offered by other companies, which could adversely affect the Company’s ability to attract and retain employees. If the Company is not able to hire or retain highly skilled and qualified individuals, it may be unable to execute its business strategies and may suffer adverse consequences to its business, financial condition and results of operations.
The Company’s compensation practices are subject to review and oversight by the Federal Reserve, the OCC, the FDIC and other regulators. The federal banking agencies have issued joint guidance on incentive compensation designed to help ensure that a banking organization’s incentive compensation policies do not encourage imprudent risk taking and are consistent with the safety and soundness of the organization. In addition, the Dodd-Frank Act required those agencies, along with
the SEC, to adopt rules to require reporting of incentive compensation and to prohibit certain compensation arrangements. If as a result of complying with such rules the Company is unable to attract and retain qualified employees, or do so at rates necessary to maintain its competitive position, or if the compensation costs required to attract and retain employees become more significant, the Company’s performance, including its competitive position, could be materially adversely affected.
Operational Risk
The Company is subject to operational risk which could adversely affect the Company’s business and reputation and create material legal and financial exposure.
Like all businesses, the Company is subject to operational risk, which represents the risk of loss resulting from human error or misconduct, inadequate or failed internal processes and systems, and external events, including the risk of loss resulting from fraud by employees or persons outside the Company, and breaches in data security. Operational risk also encompasses risks of harm to the Company's reputation, and compliance and legal risk, which is the risk of loss from violations of, or noncompliance with, laws, rules, regulations, prescribed practices or ethical standards, as well as the risk of noncompliance with contractual and other obligations. The Company is also exposed to the above referenced operational risks through outsourcing arrangements, as such outsourced vendors are exposed to operational risks themselves, as well as the effects that changes in circumstances or capabilities of its outsourced vendors can have on the Company’s ability to continue to perform operational functions necessary to its business. Although the Company seeks to mitigate operational risk through a system of internal controls that are reviewed and updated, no system of controls, however well designed and maintained, is infallible. Control weaknesses or failures or other operational risks could result in charges, increased operational costs, harm to the Company’s reputation, regulatory scrutiny or foregone business opportunities.
The Company’s information systems may experience interruptions or breaches in security, such as cyber attacks, including due to events beyond the Company’s control.
The Company relies heavily on communications and information systems, including those of third-party service providers, to conduct its business. Any failure, interruption or breach in security of these systems could result in disruptions to its accounting, deposit, loan and other systems, and adversely affect the Company’s customer relationships. Disruption of operating systems caused by events beyond the Company’s control may include computer viruses, electrical or telecommunications outages, quality of vulnerability patches, coding errors, cyber attacks (including Distributed Denial of Service attacks, which occur when legitimate users are unable to access information systems, devices, or other network resources due to the actions of a malicious cyber threat actor), damage to property or physical assets, or events arising from political protests or terrorist acts. Like other U.S. financial services companies, the Company is constantly the target of cyber attacks and other attempts to disrupt its operations. While the Company has policies and procedures designed to prevent or limit the effect of these possible events, there can be no assurance that any failure, disruption, interruption or security breach will not occur or, if any does occur, that it can be sufficiently or timely remediated.
Information security risks for large financial institutions such as M&T have increased significantly in recent years in part because of the proliferation of new technologies, such as AI and digital and mobile banking to conduct financial transactions, the increased connectivity of third parties (including contractors) and electronic devices to the Company's systems, and the increased sophistication and activities of organized crime, hackers, terrorists, nation-states, activists and other external parties. There have been increasing efforts on the part of third parties, including through cyber attacks, to breach data security at financial institutions or with respect to financial transactions.
There have been numerous instances involving financial services and consumer-based companies reporting unauthorized access to and disclosure of client or customer information or the destruction or theft of corporate data, including by executive impersonation and third party vendors, or the freezing of operating systems and databases making them inaccessible or unusable. There have also been several highly publicized cases where hackers have requested "ransom" payments in exchange for not disclosing customer information or for restoring access to, or the usage of, operating systems and databases. Ransomware is a form of malicious software, known as "malware," designed to block access to, and often encrypt, computer systems or data. Once the victim’s computer system or data is locked down and encrypted, rendering it essentially useless, the malicious cyber actor then extorts the victim by demanding a ransom payment in exchange for providing a method to decrypt it. The attacker may also copy the victim’s data in the course of the attack and threaten to sell or publish the data if the ransom is not paid. Ransomware attacks can result in a loss of business functionality and of sensitive data.
As cyber threats continue to evolve, the Company expects to continue to expend significant additional resources to modify or enhance its layers of defense or to investigate and remediate any information security vulnerabilities especially in light of heightened regulatory expectations around information security. The techniques used by cyber criminals change frequently, may not be recognized until launched and can be initiated by a variety of actors, including terrorist organizations and hostile foreign governments. These techniques may include attempts to fraudulently induce employees, customers or others to disclose sensitive information in order to gain access to data or systems. These risks may increase as the use of mobile payment and other Internet-based applications expands.
Further, third parties with which the Company does business, as well as vendors and other third parties with which the Company’s customers do business, can also be sources of information security risk to the Company, particularly where activities of customers are beyond the Company’s security and control systems, such as through the use of the Internet, personal computers, tablets, smart phones and other mobile services. Risks relating to cyber attacks on vendors and other third parties, including supply chain attacks affecting software and information technology service providers, have been rising as such attacks become increasingly frequent and severe. For example, in 2023, a widely reported global cybersecurity incident occurred involving MOVEit, a file transfer software product owned by Progress Software Corporation that is used by thousands of public and private sector entities worldwide. As reported, this incident resulted in the theft of sensitive data from a large number of organizations, and certain Company customer information in the possession of the Company’s external service providers was compromised in connection with it, while no information was obtained from the Company’s internal systems and these systems were not at risk from the MOVEit incident.
Security breaches affecting the Company’s customers, or systems breakdowns, failures, security breaches or employee misconduct affecting such other third parties, may require the Company to take steps to protect the integrity of its own systems or to safeguard confidential information of the Company or its customers, thereby increasing the Company’s operational costs and adversely affecting its business. Additionally, successful cyber attacks at other large financial institutions, whether or not the Company is impacted, could lead to a general loss of customer confidence in financial institutions that could negatively affect M&T, including harming the market perception of the effectiveness of the Company’s security measures or the financial system in general which could result in reduced use of the Company’s financial products. Though the Company has insurance against some cyber risks and attacks, it may not be sufficient to offset the impact of a material loss event.
The Company, as well as third parties with which the Company does business, has expanded the use of cloud service providers, which could experience system breakdowns or failures, outages, downtime, cyber attacks, negative changes to financial condition, bankruptcy, or other adverse conditions, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business and reputation. For example, in recent years, there have been a number of widely publicized cases of outages in connection with access to cloud service providers. Thus, increasing the amount of infrastructure that the Company or its vendors and service providers outsource to the cloud or to other parties may increase M&T’s risk exposure. The failure to properly upgrade or maintain the computer systems could result in greater susceptibility to attacks, particularly in light of the greater frequency and severity of attacks in recent years, as well as the growing prevalence of supply-chain attacks affecting software and information technology service providers. Failures related to upgrades and maintenance also increase risks related to unauthorized access and misuse, as well as the Company’s ability to achieve its business continuity and resiliency objectives.
The Company could incur higher costs, experience lower revenue, and suffer reputational damage in the event of the theft, loss or misuse of information, including due to a cyber attack.
Like other financial services firms, the systems, networks and devices of the Company, its customers, employees, service providers or other third parties with whom the Company interacts continue to be the subject of attempted unauthorized access, denial-of-service attacks, computer viruses, hacking, malware, ransomware, phishing or other forms of social engineering, and cyber attacks designed to obtain confidential information, destroy data, disrupt or degrade service, eliminate access or cause other damage. These threats may arise from human error, fraud on the part of employees, insiders or third parties or may result from accidental technology failure or vulnerabilities of suppliers through supply-chain attacks. Further, cybersecurity and information security risks for financial institutions have generally increased because of, among other things, the growth of new technologies (including AI), the use of the Internet and telecommunications technologies (including computers, smartphones, and other mobile devices outside the Company’s systems) by customers to conduct financial transactions, and the increased sophistication and activities of organized crime, fraudsters, hackers, terrorists, activists, instrumentalities of foreign governments and other external parties.
Although the Company believes that a robust suite of authentication and layered security controls, data encryption and tokenization, threat intelligence, anti-malware defenses and vulnerability management tools exist, the failure of any of these controls could result in a failure to detect, mitigate or remediate these risks in a timely manner. Moreover, potential new regulations may require the Company to disclose information about a cybersecurity event before it has been resolved or fully investigated. Further, as the Company expands its mobile and digital capabilities, cybersecurity risks increase.
A disruption or breach, including as a result of a cyber attack, or media reports of perceived security vulnerabilities at the Company or at third-party service providers could result in significant legal and financial exposure, regulatory intervention, remediation costs, damage to the Company's reputation, or loss of confidence in the security of systems, products and services that could adversely affect the Company’s business. Like other U.S. financial services providers, the Company continues to be targeted with evolving and adaptive cyber threats from sophisticated third parties. Although the Company is not aware of any material losses relating to cybersecurity incidents, there can be no assurance that unauthorized access or cybersecurity incidents will not become known or occur or that the Company will not suffer such losses in the future.
The Company is subject to laws and regulations relating to the privacy of the information of customers, clients, employees or others, and any failure to comply with these laws and regulations could expose the Company to liability and/or reputational damage.
The Company is also subject to laws and regulations relating to the privacy of the information of customers, clients, employees or others, and any failure to comply with these laws and regulations could expose the Company to liability and/or reputational damage. New privacy and data protection initiatives will impose additional operational burdens on the Company, may limit the Company’s ability to pursue desirable business initiatives and increase the risks associated with any future use of customer data. Significant examples include the General Data Protection Regulation, the United Kingdom General Data Protection Regulation, known as The Data Protection Act of 2018, and the California Consumer Privacy Act and corresponding regulations. Compliance with these and other laws and regulations may require changes to policies, procedures and technology for information security and segregation of data, which could, among other things, make the Company more vulnerable to operational failures, and to monetary penalties, litigation or regulatory enforcement actions for breach of such laws and regulations.
As privacy-related laws and regulations are implemented, they may also limit how companies like M&T can use personal data and impose obligations on companies in their management of such data. The time and resources needed for the Company to comply with such laws and regulations, as well as its potential liability for non-compliance and reporting obligations in the case of data breaches, may significantly increase. The impacts will be greater to the extent requirements vary across jurisdictions.
M&T relies on other companies to provide key components of the Company’s business infrastructure.
Third parties provide key components of the Company’s business infrastructure such as banking services, processing, and Internet connections and network access. Any disruption in such services provided by these third parties or any failure of these third parties to handle current or higher volumes of use could adversely affect the Company’s ability to deliver products and services to clients and otherwise to conduct business. Technological or financial difficulties of a third-party service provider could adversely affect the Company’s business to the extent those difficulties result in the interruption or discontinuation of services provided by that party. These risks may be heightened to the extent the Company relies on a limited or concentrated number of third-party service providers. The Company may not be insured against all types of losses as a result of third-party failures and insurance coverage may be inadequate to cover all losses resulting from system failures or other disruptions. Failures in the Company’s business infrastructure could interrupt the operations or increase the costs of doing business.
Additionally, the Company is exposed to the risk that a service disruption at a common service provider to the Company’s third-party service providers could impede their ability to provide services to the Company. Notwithstanding any attempts to diversify its reliance on third parties, the Company may not be able to effectively mitigate operational risks relating to its vendors’ use of common service providers.
The development and use of AI, including by third parties, presents risks and challenges that may adversely impact M&T.
The Company or its third-party vendors, clients or counterparties may develop or incorporate AI technology in certain business processes, services or products. The development and use of AI presents a number of risks and challenges to M&T’s business. The legal and regulatory environment relating to AI is uncertain and rapidly evolving, and includes regulation targeted specifically at AI as well as provisions in intellectual property, privacy, consumer protection, employment and other laws
applicable to the use of AI. These evolving laws and regulations could require changes in the Company’s or third parties’ implementation of AI technology and increase the Company’s compliance costs and risk of non-compliance.
AI models, including generative AI models may produce output or influence the Company or its third-party service providers to take actions that are incorrect, that result in the release of private, confidential or proprietary information, that reflect biases included in the data on which they are trained, that infringe on the intellectual property rights of others, or that are otherwise harmful. In addition, the complexity of certain AI models makes it challenging to understand why they are generating particular outputs. This limited transparency increases the challenges associated with assessing the proper operation of AI models, understanding and monitoring the capabilities of the AI models, reducing erroneous output, eliminating bias and complying with regulations that require documentation or explanation of the basis on which decisions are made. Further, the Company may rely on AI models developed by third parties, and, to that extent, would be dependent in part on the manner in which those third parties develop and train their models, including risks arising from the inclusion of any unauthorized material in the training data for their models, and the effectiveness of the steps these third parties have taken to limit the risks associated with the output of their models, matters over which the Company may have limited visibility. Any of these risks could expose M&T to liability or adverse legal or regulatory consequences and harm its reputation and the public perception of its business or the effectiveness of its security measures.
In addition to the Company’s use of AI technologies, the Company is exposed to risks arising from the use of AI technologies by bad actors to commit fraud and misappropriate funds and to facilitate cyber attacks. Use of AI technologies by bad actors can contribute to the evolution of new and more effective techniques, which can hinder the Company’s efforts to prevent, detect and remediate such harmful activities. AI, if used to perpetrate fraud or launch cyber attacks, could result in losses, liquidity outflows or other adverse effects at a particular exchange or financial institution, including the Company.
The Company is or may become involved from time to time in suits, legal proceedings, information-gathering requests, investigations and proceedings by governmental and self-regulatory agencies that may lead to adverse consequences.
Many aspects of the Company’s business and operations involve substantial risk of legal liability. M&T and/or its subsidiaries have been named or threatened to be named as defendants in various lawsuits arising from its or its subsidiaries’ business activities (and in some cases from the activities of companies M&T has acquired). In addition, from time to time, M&T is, or may become, the subject of governmental and self-regulatory agency information-gathering requests, reviews, investigations and proceedings and other forms of regulatory inquiry, including by bank and other regulatory agencies, the SEC and law enforcement authorities. The SEC has announced a policy of seeking admissions of liability in certain settled cases, which could adversely impact the defense of private litigation. M&T is also at risk with respect to its obligations to indemnify directors and officers of it and its subsidiaries in connection with certain legal matters as well as in situations where it has agreed to indemnify others for losses related to legal proceedings, including for litigation and governmental investigations and inquiries, such as in connection with the purchase or sale of a business or assets. The results of such proceedings could lead to significant civil or criminal penalties, including monetary penalties, damages, adverse judgments, settlements, fines, injunctions, restrictions on the way in which the Company conducts its business, or reputational harm.
Although the Company establishes accruals for legal proceedings when information related to the loss contingencies represented by those matters indicates both that a loss is probable and that the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated, the Company does not have accruals for all legal proceedings where it faces a risk of loss. In addition, due to the inherent subjectivity of the
assessments and unpredictability of the outcome of legal proceedings, amounts accrued may not represent the ultimate loss to the Company from the legal proceedings in question. Thus, the Company’s ultimate losses may be higher, and possibly significantly so, than the amounts accrued for legal loss contingencies, which could adversely affect the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.
Business Risk
Changes in accounting standards could impact the Company’s reported financial condition and results of operations.
The accounting standard setters, including the FASB, the SEC and other regulatory bodies, periodically change the financial accounting and reporting standards that govern the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements. These changes can be difficult to predict and can materially impact how the Company records and reports its financial condition and results of operations. In some cases, the Company could be required to apply a new or revised standard retroactively, which would result in the restating of the Company’s prior period financial statements. Information about recently adopted and not as yet adopted accounting standards is included in note 1 of Notes to Financial Statements included in Part II, Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplemental Data" of this Form 10-K.
The Company’s reported financial condition and results of operations depend on management’s selection of accounting methods and require management to make estimates about matters that are uncertain.
Accounting policies and processes are fundamental to the Company’s reported financial condition and results of operations. Some of these policies require use of estimates and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts of assets or liabilities and financial results. Several of M&T’s accounting policies are critical because they require management to make difficult, subjective and complex judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain and because it is likely that materially different amounts would be reported under different conditions or using different assumptions. Pursuant to GAAP, management is required to make certain assumptions, apply estimates and make accounting policy elections in preparing the Company’s financial statements. If assumptions or estimates underlying the Company’s financial statements are incorrect, the Company may experience material losses.
Management has identified certain accounting policies as being critical because they require management’s judgment to ascertain the valuations of assets, liabilities, commitments and contingencies. A variety of factors could affect the ultimate value that is obtained either when earning income, recognizing an expense, recovering an asset, valuing an asset or liability, or recognizing or reducing a liability. M&T has established detailed policies and control procedures that are intended to ensure these critical accounting estimates and judgments are well controlled and applied consistently. In addition, the policies and procedures are intended to ensure that the process for changing methodologies occurs in an appropriate manner. Because of the uncertainty surrounding judgments and the estimates pertaining to these matters, M&T could be required to adjust accounting policies or restate prior period financial statements if those judgments and estimates prove to be incorrect. For additional information, see "Critical Accounting Estimates" in Part II, Item 7, "Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and note 1 of Notes to Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplemental Data" of this Form 10-K.
The Company’s models used for business planning purposes could perform poorly or provide inadequate information.
The Company uses quantitative models to assist in measuring risks and estimating or predicting certain financial values, among other uses. The Company uses models throughout many of its business lines, relying on them, along with its judgment, for many decision making processes. Examples of areas where the Company uses models include determining the pricing of various products, grading loans and extending credit, measuring interest rate and other market risks, predicting or estimating losses, assessing capital adequacy and evaluating liquidity risks. The Company also uses models to estimate the value of financial instruments and balance sheet items. Models generally evaluate the performance of various factors under anticipated future conditions, relying on historical data to help build the model and in part on assumptions as to the future, often with respect to macroeconomic conditions, in order to generate the output. The models used may not accurately account for all variables and may fail to predict outcomes accurately and/or may overstate or understate certain effects. Poorly designed, implemented, or managed models or misused models, including in the choice of relevant historical data or future-looking assumptions, present the risk that the Company’s business decisions that consider information based on such models will be adversely affected due to inadequate or inaccurate information, which may damage the Company’s reputation and adversely affect its reported financial condition and results of operations. Even if the underlying assumptions used in the Company’s models are adequate, the models may be deficient due to errors in computer code, use of bad data during development or input into the model during model use, or the use of a model for a purpose outside the scope of the model’s design. As a result, the Company’s models may not fully capture or express the risks the Company faces, may suggest that the Company has sufficient reserves, capital or liquidity when it may not, or may lead the Company to misjudge the business and economic environment in which it operates. If the models fail to produce reliable results on an ongoing basis, the Company may not make appropriate risk management, capital planning, or other business or financial decisions. Furthermore, strategies that the Company employs to manage and govern the risks associated with its use of models may not be effective or fully reliable, and as a result, the Company may realize losses or other lapses. Finally, information the Company provides to the public or to its regulators based on poorly designed, implemented, or managed models or misused models could be inaccurate or misleading. Some of the decisions that the Company’s regulators make, including those related to capital distributions to M&T’s stockholders, could be affected adversely due to their perception that the quality of the models used to generate the relevant information is insufficient.
The Company's reputation may be harmed, which could negatively impact investor and customer confidence.
A negative public opinion of the Company and its business can result from any number of activities, including the Company’s lending practices, corporate governance and regulatory compliance, acquisitions and actions taken by regulators or by community organizations in response to these activities. Significant harm to the Company’s reputation could also arise as a result of regulatory or governmental actions, litigation, employee misconduct or the activities of customers, developments and the actions of other participants in the financial services industry, including failures of other financial institutions, or activities of the Company’s contractual counterparties, such as service providers and vendors. A service disruption of the Company’s technology platforms, or to those of the Company's service providers or vendors, or an impact to the Company’s branches could have a negative impact on a customer’s access to banking services and harm the Company’s reputation with customers. In particular, a cybersecurity event impacting the Company’s or its customers’ data could have a negative impact on the Company’s reputation and customer confidence in the Company and
its cybersecurity. Damage to the Company’s reputation could also adversely affect its credit ratings and access to the capital markets.
Moreover, there has been an increased focus by investors and other stakeholders on topics related to corporate policies and approaches relating to environmental, social and governance matters. Due to divergent stakeholder views on these matters, the Company is at increased risk that any action, or lack thereof, by the Company concerning these matters will be perceived negatively by at least some stakeholders, which could adversely affect the Company’s reputation.
Additionally, whereas negative public opinion once was primarily driven by adverse news coverage in traditional media, the increased use of social media platforms facilitates the rapid dissemination of information or misinformation, which magnifies the potential harm to the Company’s reputation.
The Company’s framework for managing risks may not be effective.
The Company’s Risk Framework is made up of various processes and strategies to manage its risk exposure. The framework to manage risk, including the framework’s underlying assumptions, may not be effective under all conditions and circumstances. If the Risk Framework proves ineffective, the Company could suffer unexpected losses and could be materially adversely affected.
The Company has established processes and procedures intended to identify, measure, monitor, report, and analyze the types of risk to which it is subject, including liquidity risk, credit risk, market risk, interest rate risk, compliance risk, strategic risk, risks related to harm to the Company's reputation, and operational risks related to its employees, systems and vendors, among others. There are inherent limitations to the Company’s risk management strategies as there may exist, or may develop in the future, risks that it has not appropriately anticipated or identified. In addition, the Company relies on both qualitative and quantitative factors, including models, to monitor, measure and analyze certain risks and to estimate certain financial values, which are subject to error. The Company must also develop and maintain a culture of risk management among its employees, as well as manage risks associated with third parties, and could fail to do so effectively. If the Company’s Risk Framework proves ineffective, the Company could incur litigation and negative regulatory consequences, and suffer unexpected losses that could affect its financial condition or results of operations.
Pandemics, acts of war or terrorism and other adverse external events could significantly impact the Company’s business.
Pandemics; acts of war; military conflicts, including current conflicts in eastern Europe and in the Middle East; or terrorism and other adverse external events, including severe weather and other natural disasters, could have a significant impact on the Company’s ability to conduct business. Such events could affect the stability of the Company’s deposit base, impair the ability of borrowers to repay outstanding loans, impair the value of collateral securing loans, cause significant property damage, result in loss of revenue and/or cause the Company to incur additional expenses. Although the Company has established disaster recovery plans and procedures, and monitors for significant environmental effects on its properties or its investments, the occurrence of any such event could have a material adverse effect on the Company. For example, the Coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic created economic and financial disruptions that adversely affected the Company’s business, financial condition, capital and results of operations.
Depending on the impact of pandemics, military conflicts, terrorism and other detrimental or destabilizing global and national events on general economic and market conditions, consumer and corporate spending and investment and borrowing patterns, there is a risk that adverse conditions could occur, including supply chain disruptions; higher inflation; decreased demand for the Company’s products and services or those of its borrowers, which could increase credit risk;
challenges related to maintaining sufficient qualified personnel due to labor shortages, talent attrition, employee illness and willingness to return to work; and disruptions to business operations at the Company and at counterparties, vendors and other service providers. Even after such events fully subside, the U.S. economy may experience a prolonged economic slowdown or recession, and M&T anticipates the Company’s businesses would be materially and adversely affected by a prolonged economic slowdown or recession.
The escalation or continuation of conflicts in eastern Europe and the Middle East and other such hostilities, could result in, among other things, further increased risk of cyber attacks, supply chain disruptions, higher inflation, lower consumer demand and increased volatility in commodity, currency and other financial markets.
To the extent that pandemics, acts of war or conflict, terrorism and other detrimental external events adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition, liquidity, capital or results of operations, such factors may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in this "Risk Factors" section.
The Company’s assets, communities, operations, reputation and customers could be adversely affected by the impacts of climate-related risk.
The Company operates in regions where its businesses and the activities of its customers could be negatively impacted by climate-related risk. This includes the physical risks resulting from chronic shifts in climate, such as rising average global temperatures, rising sea levels, and acute climate events, such as an increase in the frequency and severity of extreme weather events and natural disasters, including floods, wildfires, hurricanes and tornados. Such chronic shifts and acute events could damage or otherwise impact the value or productivity of customers’ assets and disrupt the Company’s operations and the operations of customers or third parties on which the Company relies. They could also result in market volatility, negatively impact the Company’s customers’ ability to repay outstanding loans, and deteriorate the value of collateral. For example, over time, the occurrence of acute climate events may result in both increasing insurance premiums for and reduced availability of insurance, which could have a broader impact on the economy.
Further, climate-related risk may manifest from efforts to transition to a low-carbon economy. Transition risks may arise from changes in consumer and business preferences, legislation, regulation, policy, and technological advancement associated with the changes necessary to limit climate change. Such risks may result in increased expenses or otherwise adversely impact the Company and its customers, including the ability of customers to repay outstanding loans. The Company could experience increased expenses resulting from climate-related strategic planning and market changes, as well as litigation and reputational harm as a result of negative public sentiment, regulatory scrutiny and reduced investor and stakeholder confidence due to the Company’s actual or perceived action, or inaction, regarding climate change. For example, due to divergent stakeholder views regarding climate change, the Company’s reputation may be damaged, its financial condition could suffer, and its ability to attract and retain employees may be harmed as a result of any perceived ineffective identification, monitoring or management of risks relating to providing financial services to certain industries or projects that are sensitive to a transition to a lower carbon economy, as well as any decisions the Company makes to continue to conduct or change its activities in response to considerations relating to climate-related financial risk management.
In addition, laws, regulations, and the expectations of federal and state banking regulators, investors and other stakeholders regarding appropriate climate-related risk management, practices and disclosures are continuously evolving and may require financial institutions including the Company, to adhere to new or heightened requirements and expectations regarding the disclosure and management of their climate-related risks and related lending, investment, operations and advisory activities. For example, the NYSDFS issued guidance for New York State-regulated banking and
mortgage institutions relating to the management of material financial risks from climate change in December 2023. In addition, a number of states in which the Company operates have enacted or proposed statutes and regulations addressing climate change and sustainability issues while certain other states have enacted, or have proposed to enact, statutes, regulations or policies that are in opposition to those objectives. Any such new or heightened requirements may result in higher regulatory, compliance and other expenses, and may subject the Company to different and potentially conflicting requirements in the various jurisdictions in which it operates.
Discussions of the specific risks outlined herein and other risks facing the Company are included in this Form 10-K in Part I, Item 1, "Business," and Part II, Item 7, "Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations." Furthermore, in Part II, Item 7 under the heading "Forward-Looking Statements" is a description of certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions identified by management that are difficult to predict and that could materially affect the Company’s financial condition and results of operations, as well as the value of the Company’s financial instruments in general, and M&T common stock, in particular.
In addition, the market price of M&T common stock may fluctuate significantly in response to a number of other factors, including changes in securities analysts’ estimates of financial performance, volatility of stock market prices and volumes, rumors or erroneous information, changes in market valuations of similar companies and changes in accounting policies or procedures as may be required by the FASB or other regulatory agencies.
Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments.
None.
Item 1C. Cybersecurity.
The Company has established polices, processes, controls and systems designed to identify, assess, measure, manage, monitor and report risks related to cybersecurity and help prevent or limit the impacts of potential cyber threats and attacks. As cyber threats continue to evolve, the Company expects to continue to expend significant resources to adapt to changes in the threat environment and enhance its measures to detect and prevent cyber attacks or to investigate and remediate known information security vulnerabilities and incidents. The risks faced by the Company from cyber threats that could materially affect the Company, including its business strategy, results of operations or financial condition, are discussed in Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors" within this Form 10-K.
Cybersecurity is integrated into the Company’s Risk Framework through which the Company identifies, assesses, monitors, controls, communicates and escalates risks. The Risk Framework, which is reviewed and approved by the Risk Committee of the Board of Directors at least annually, represents the Company’s overall risk management approach, including the policies, processes, controls and systems through which the Company seeks to manage risk, including cybersecurity risk. It aims to provide a common foundation for all employees and officers as well as directors to help understand and communicate the types of risks that the Company faces in pursuit of its business objectives. The Risk Framework includes oversight by management through a multi-tiered committee structure responsible for overseeing proactive risk identification, developing an aggregated view of risks, and providing a consistent governance methodology across the Company. All such committees, including a management committee which has primary authority for oversight of cybersecurity, report up to the Management Risk Committee, which is chaired by the Chief Risk Officer, and serves as the executive level committee responsible for the implementation and oversight of the Risk Framework. The Risk Framework is designed to ensure the Board of Directors and its Risk
Committee, which is the primary Board committee that oversees cybersecurity, are provided the information necessary to be effective in its risk management oversight responsibilities.
The Risk Committee of the Board of Directors provides oversight of cybersecurity risks and receives regular reports on cybersecurity from the CISO. The CISO is responsible for the design and execution of the Company's Enterprise Cybersecurity Program, which is supported by the governance structure defined within the Risk Framework. The CISO reports as necessary to executive management, the Risk Committee of the Board and the Board of Directors on cyber and information security issues and the effectiveness of the Company’s Enterprise Cybersecurity Program. The Risk Committee of the Board and the Board of Directors receive the results of the Company’s annual cybersecurity risk assessment. Aligned with leading industry standards, including the U.S. Department of Commerce’s National Institute of Standards and Technology Cybersecurity Framework, the Enterprise Cybersecurity Program is built upon a foundation of policies, standards and procedures, which leverage the National Institute of Standards and Technology standards and regulatory requirements to help safeguard customer information and reduce the risk of cyber incidents and breaches. The Enterprise Cybersecurity Program features layered controls of network and endpoint intrusion detection and prevention, enterprise malware protection, threat-monitoring and a Security Operations Center that provides full-time support and additional operational measures to monitor and respond to data breaches and cyber attacks.
In accordance with the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, the Company undertakes periodic assessments to identify and assess risks to customer information and evaluate the effectiveness of security controls. The Company engages third parties in connection with such cybersecurity preparedness efforts. Ongoing audits, including vulnerability and penetration testing of the Company’s computing infrastructure, are performed by independent third parties and by internal cybersecurity personnel.
The Company has also established processes to oversee and identify cybersecurity risks from third-party service providers. Third-party service providers (including suppliers and business partners) are required to have security policies, standards and procedures that meet or exceed the information security guidelines as specified in the Enterprise Cybersecurity Program. The Company has an established third-party due diligence program designed to ensure vendors meet the Company's expectations as agreed to in their contract. Roles, responsibilities and expectations for service providers and other third parties are communicated and documented through contracts (and other associated agreements) and monitored through oversight as part of the Company’s Third-Party Risk Management Program.
The Company’s Cybersecurity Leadership Team includes the CISO who is responsible for overseeing and reporting on the development and implementation of the Company's Enterprise Cybersecurity Program. The CISO has over twenty years of experience in information security for large financial institutions and has served as chairman for the Bank Policy Institute's Technology Policy Division Information Security Committee and as a board member of Financial Services Information Sharing and Analysis Center. The CISO currently serves on the Advisory Council for New York University's Graduate School of Engineering, as well as the Advisory Board for University of North Carolina - Charlotte College of Computing and Informatics. The CISO reports to the Company’s Chief Technology and Operations Officer, who has two decades of experience in the financial and technology industries. Prior to joining the Company in 2018, M&T's Chief Technology and Operations Officer served as Chief Technology Officer of North American Credit Cards and Chief Information Officer of Europe at Capital One Financial Corporation and he holds a Masters of Science in Management of Information Technology from the University of Virginia. In addition, the Cybersecurity Leadership Team includes management with expertise in vulnerability management, digital forensics, threat intelligence, software development, cybersecurity operations, and project
management. Many individuals on the Cybersecurity Leadership Team hold cybersecurity-relevant certifications.
The Company’s Information Security Awareness Program, a component of the Enterprise Cybersecurity Program, is designed to ensure that all employees and contingent workers are aware of relevant cyber-related policies, principles, standards and practices, as well as new and current regulatory requirements related to safeguarding customer and corporate information assets. Cybersecurity awareness initiatives and resources are regularly provided to employees and contingent workers, including through mandatory annual cybersecurity awareness training, ongoing simulated phishing email exercises and communications from the Company's Cybersecurity Division on the Company's internal communication channels.

__________________________________________________________________________________
(a)Net interest income data are presented on a taxable-equivalent basis which is a non-GAAP measure. The taxable-equivalent adjustment represents additional income taxes that would be due if all interest income were subject to income taxes. This adjustment, which is related to interest received on qualified municipal securities, industrial revenue financings and preferred equity securities, is based on a composite income tax rate of approximately 25% in each of 2025 and 2024 and 26% in 2023.
The increase in net income in 2025 as compared with 2024 reflects the following:
•Net interest income on a taxable-equivalent basis increased $90 million reflecting loan growth and favorable net repricing of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, including a reduction of the negative impact from interest rate swap agreements, as net interest margin widened by 9 basis points.
•The provision for credit losses declined $105 million mainly reflecting improved levels of criticized loans.
•Noninterest income increased $315 million reflecting higher mortgage banking revenues, service charges on deposit accounts, trust income and other revenues from operations.
•Noninterest expense rose $134 million reflecting higher salaries and employee benefits expense and outside data processing and software costs, partially offset by lower FDIC special assessments that included a $37 million reduction of expense in 2025 as compared with $34 million of expense in 2024.
•The Company’s effective tax rates were 22.8% in 2025 and 21.8% in 2024, reflective of $8 million and $31 million of discrete tax benefits in each of those respective years.
On October 31, 2025, M&T issued 45,000 shares of Perpetual Fixed Rate Non-Cumulative Preferred Stock, Series K, with a liquidation preference of $10,000 per share. Additional information about the issued and outstanding preferred stock of M&T is included in note 9 of Notes to Financial Statements.
Under approved capital plans and programs authorized by the Board of Directors, M&T repurchased 14.3 million shares of its common stock in 2025 at a total cost of $2.66 billion. In 2024, M&T repurchased 2.1 million shares of its common stock at a total cost of $400 million.
Supplemental Reporting of Non-GAAP Results of Operations
M&T consistently provides supplemental reporting of its results on a "net operating" or "tangible" basis, from which M&T excludes the after-tax effect of amortization of core deposit and other intangible assets (and the related goodwill, core deposit intangible and other intangible asset balances, net of applicable deferred tax amounts) and gains (when realized) and expenses (when incurred) associated with merging acquired or to be acquired operations into the Company, since such items are considered by management to be "nonoperating" in nature. Although "net operating income" as defined by M&T is not a GAAP measure, M&T’s management believes that this information helps investors understand the effect of acquisition activity in reported results. The following table represents a comparative summary of certain non-GAAP results of operations.

(a)At the period end.
The efficiency ratio measures the relationship of noninterest operating expenses, which exclude expenses M&T considers to be "nonoperating" in nature consisting of amortization of core deposit and other intangible assets and merger-related expenses, to revenues. The calculations of the Company’s efficiency ratio, or noninterest operating expenses divided by the sum of taxable-equivalent net interest income and noninterest income (exclusive of gains and losses from bank investment securities), and reconciliations of GAAP amounts with corresponding non-GAAP amounts are presented in Table 3.

Taxable-equivalent Net Interest Income
Interest income earned on certain of the Company's assets is exempt from federal income tax. Taxable-equivalent net interest income is a non-GAAP measure that adjusts income earned on a tax-exempt asset to present it on an equivalent basis to interest income earned on a fully taxable asset.
Taxable-equivalent net interest income can be impacted by changes in the composition of the Company's earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, as discussed herein, as well as changes in interest rates and spreads. The FOMC lowered its federal funds target interest rate by a total of 100 basis points in the last four months of 2024 and by a total of 75 basis points in the last four months of 2025.
Net interest income on a taxable-equivalent basis totaled $6.99 billion in 2025, an increase of $90 million from $6.90 billion in 2024. That increase reflects a 9 basis-point widening of the net interest margin driven by a decrease of 51 basis points in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities, partially offset by a 22 basis-point decline in the yield received on earning assets and a 20 basis-point reduction in the contribution of net interest-free funds. Contributing to lower yields on earning assets and rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities in 2025 was the impact of the aforementioned FOMC interest rate reductions. The yields received on earning assets reflect a reduction of the negative impact from interest rate swap agreements entered into for interest rate risk management purposes on yields received on commercial and industrial and commercial real estate loans. Partially offsetting the overall decline in yields received on earning assets was an increase in yields received on investment securities from the deployment of liquidity into fixed rate investment securities throughout 2024 and 2025 that yielded higher rates than maturing investment securities.
Future changes in market interest rates or spreads, as well as changes in the composition of the Company’s portfolios of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities that result in changes to spreads, could impact the Company’s net interest income and net interest margin. Future changes in the levels of net interest-free funds and the interest rates used to value such funds could also impact the Company's net interest margin.
The Company's average balance sheets accompanied by the taxable-equivalent interest income and expense and the average rate on the Company's earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities are presented in Table 4 that follows.

(b)Interest income data are presented on a taxable-equivalent basis.
(c)Primarily government issued or guaranteed.
(d)The change in interest income on state and political subdivisions investment securities for 2025 compared with 2024 reflects $18 million of lower taxable-equivalent interest income resulting from an alignment of amortization periods for certain municipal bonds obtained from the acquisition of People's United. The impact of this reduction is primarily included in the "Rate" column.
Interest rate swap agreements
Management assesses the potential impact of future changes in interest rates and spreads by projecting net interest income under several interest rate scenarios. In managing interest rate risk, the Company has utilized interest rate swap agreements to modify the repricing characteristics of certain portions of its earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Under the terms of those interest rate swap agreements, the Company generally received payments based on the outstanding notional amount at fixed rates and made payments at variable rates. Periodic settlement amounts arising from these agreements are reflected in either the yields received on earning assets or the rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities. The Company enters into forward-starting interest rate swap agreements predominantly to hedge interest rate exposures expected in future periods. Table 6 summarizes information about interest rate swap agreements entered into for interest rate risk management purposes at December 31, 2025 and 2024.

Commercial real estate loans originated by the Company are generally secured by investor-owned real estate and include both fixed and variable rate instruments with monthly payments and a balloon payment of the remaining unpaid principal balance at maturity. Maturity dates generally range from three to ten years and, for borrowers in good standing, the terms of such loans may be extended by the customer following maturity at the then-current market rate of interest. Adjustable-rate commercial real estate loans represented approximately 83% of the commercial real estate loan portfolio at the 2025 year end.
Commercial real estate construction and development loans totaled $3.6 billion at December 31, 2025, or 3% of total loans. Approximately 97% of those construction loans had adjustable interest rates. Included in such loans at December 31, 2025 were loans made for various purposes, including the construction of multifamily residential housing, office buildings, health services facilities and other commercial development. In June 2025, the Company sold $661 million of out-of-footprint residential builder and developer loans and recognized a gain on sale of $15 million, which is included in Other revenues from operations in the Consolidated Statement of Income.
M&T Realty Capital, a commercial real estate lending subsidiary of M&T Bank, participates in the DUS program of Fannie Mae, pursuant to which commercial real estate loans are originated in accordance with terms and conditions specified by Fannie Mae and sold. Under this program, loans are sold with partial credit recourse to M&T Realty Capital. The amount of recourse is generally limited to one-third of any credit loss incurred by the purchaser on an individual loan, although in some cases the recourse amount is more or less than one-third of the outstanding principal balance. The Company’s contractual credit recourse associated with sold commercial real estate loans was approximately $4.6 billion at December 31, 2025, compared with $4.2 billion at December 31, 2024. Should Fannie Mae determine that loans originated through its DUS program were not originated or serviced in accordance with the terms and conditions of the program, M&T Realty Capital may be required to repurchase such loans or may incur credit losses that exceed the stated recourse amount of the program.

Investing activities
The Company's investment securities portfolio is largely comprised of government-issued or guaranteed residential and commercial mortgage-backed securities and U.S. Treasury securities, but also includes municipal and other securities. When purchasing investment securities, the Company considers its liquidity position and its overall interest rate risk profile as well as the adequacy of expected returns relative to risks assumed, including prepayments. The Company may occasionally sell investment securities as a result of movements in interest rates and spreads, changes in liquidity needs, actual or anticipated prepayments, credit risk associated with a particular security, or as a result of restructuring its investment securities portfolio. The amounts of investment securities held
by the Company are influenced by such factors as available yield in comparison with alternative investments, demand for loans, which generally yield more than investment securities, ongoing repayments, the levels of deposits, and management of liquidity and balance sheet size and resulting capital ratios. Information about the Company's average investment securities portfolio is presented in the following table.

(a)Primarily government issued or guaranteed.
The investment securities portfolio averaged $35.8 billion in 2025, up $5.0 billion from 2024. That increase reflects the deployment of liquidity into primarily fixed rate mortgage-backed investment securities designated as available for sale. As a result of the purchases of higher-yielding securities and paydowns and maturities of lower-yielding securities, the weighted-average current yield for total investment securities available for sale increased to 4.64% at December 31, 2025 compared with 4.30% at December 31, 2024, while the weighted-average duration of that portfolio decreased to 2.4 years from 2.6 years at each of those respective dates. The Company routinely adjusts its holdings of capital stock of the FHLB of New York and the FRB of New York based on amounts of outstanding borrowings and available lines of credit with those entities.
The Company regularly reviews its debt investment securities for declines in value below amortized cost that might be indicative of credit-related losses. There were no credit-related losses on debt investment securities recognized in 2025, 2024 and 2023. Additional information about the investment securities portfolio is included in notes 3 and 19 of Notes to Financial Statements.
Other earning assets include interest-bearing deposits at banks and trading account assets. Those other earning assets in the aggregate averaged $18.9 billion in 2025 and $27.3 billion in 2024 and were primarily comprised of deposits held at the FRB of New York. The Company considers such deposits to be an immediate source of funds in its liquidity management processes. In general, the levels of those deposits often fluctuate due to changes in deposits of retail and commercial customers, trust-related deposits and brokered deposits, lending activities and additions to or maturities of investment securities or borrowings.
Funding activities - deposits
The most significant source of funding for the Company is core deposits from its customer base. The Company considers noninterest-bearing deposits, savings and interest-checking deposits and time deposits of $250,000 or less as core deposits. The Company’s domestic banking network is its principal source of core deposits, which generally carry lower interest rates than wholesale funds of comparable maturities. Average core deposits represented 78% of average earning assets in 2025, compared with 77% in 2024. The Company also utilizes brokered deposits as a component of its wholesale funding strategy. Depending on market conditions, including demand by customers and other investors, and the cost of funds available from alternative sources, the Company may change the amount or composition of brokered deposits in the future. Table 14 provides an analysis of changes in the components of average deposits.

| Total deposits | $ | 163,107 | | | $ | 163,423 | | | $ | 162,094 | | | — | % | | 1 | % |
Total average deposits decreased $316 million from 2024.
•Average core deposits grew $1.2 billion due to higher average balances of savings and interest-checking deposits that reflected a shift in customer funds from noninterest-bearing accounts to interest-bearing products. Lower average balances of core time deposits reflected comparatively lower rates paid on those products.
•Average brokered deposits declined $1.2 billion reflecting a decrease in average brokered time deposits of $2.6 billion as those products matured. That decrease was partially offset by an increase in average brokered savings and interest-bearing transaction accounts of $1.5 billion reflecting changes in the Company's wholesale funding strategy.

The Company uses borrowing capacity from banks, the FHLBs, the FRB of New York and others as sources of funding. Short-term borrowings represent arrangements that at the time they were entered into had a contractual maturity of one year or less. The lower levels of short-term borrowings in 2025 as compared with 2024 reflect the Company's management of liquidity, including reductions in certain short-term wholesale funding sources.
The levels of long-term borrowings reflect the Company's strategies to diversify its wholesale funding sources to provide long-term funding stabilization. Table 17 provides a summary of the Company's issuances, maturities and redemptions of long-term borrowings in 2025.

Provision for Credit Losses
A provision for credit losses is recorded to adjust the level of the allowance to reflect expected credit losses that are based on economic forecasts as of each reporting date. A provision for credit losses of $505 million and $610 million was recorded in 2025 and 2024, respectively. The lower provision for credit losses in 2025 as compared with 2024 reflects improved levels of criticized loans.
A summary of the Company’s loan charge-offs, provision and allowance for credit losses is presented in Tables 18 and 24, and in note 4 of Notes to Financial Statements.

__________________________________________________________________________________
(a)Predominantly government-guaranteed residential real estate loans.
Nonaccrual loans decreased $438 million from December 31, 2024 to December 31, 2025 reflecting a $203 million reduction in commercial real estate nonaccrual loans and a $169 million decrease in commercial and industrial nonaccrual loans. Approximately 45% of nonaccrual commercial and industrial and commercial real estate loans were considered current with respect to their payment status at December 31, 2025.
Government-guaranteed loans designated as accruing loans past due 90 days or more included one-to-four family residential mortgage loans serviced by the Company that were repurchased to reduce associated servicing costs, including a requirement to advance principal and interest payments that had not been received from individual mortgagors. Despite the loans being purchased by the Company, the insurance or guarantee by the applicable government-related entity remains in force. The outstanding principal balances of the repurchased loans that are guaranteed by government-related entities included in accruing loans past due 90 days or more totaled $459 million at December 31, 2025 and $224 million at December 31, 2024. Accruing loans past due 90 days or more not guaranteed by government-related entities were loans considered to be with creditworthy borrowers that were in the process of collection or renewal. Additional information about past due and nonaccrual loans is included in note 4 of Notes to Financial Statements.
The Company utilizes a loan grading system to differentiate risk amongst its commercial and industrial loans and commercial real estate loans. Loans with a lower expectation of default are assigned one of ten possible "pass" loan grades while specific loans determined to have an elevated level of credit risk are designated as "criticized." A criticized loan may be designated as "nonaccrual" if the Company no longer expects to collect all amounts owed under the terms of the loan agreement or the loan is delinquent 90 days or more.
Line of business personnel in different geographic locations with support from and review by the Company’s credit risk personnel review and reassign loan grades based on their detailed knowledge of individual borrowers and their judgment of the impact on such borrowers resulting from changing conditions in their respective regions. The Company’s policy is that, at least annually, updated financial information is obtained from commercial borrowers associated with pass grade loans greater than $1 million and additional analysis performed. On a quarterly basis, the Company’s centralized credit risk department personnel review criticized commercial and industrial loans and commercial real estate loans greater than $5 million to determine the appropriateness of the assigned loan grade, including whether the loan should be reported as accruing or nonaccruing. For criticized nonaccrual loans, additional meetings are held with loan officers and their managers, workout specialists and senior management to discuss each of the relationships. In analyzing criticized loans, borrower-specific information is reviewed, including operating results, future cash flows, recent developments and the borrower’s outlook, and other pertinent data. The timing and extent of potential losses, considering collateral valuation and other factors, and the Company’s potential courses of action are contemplated.
Targeted loan reviews are periodically performed over segments of loan portfolios that may be experiencing heightened credit risk due to current or anticipated economic conditions. The intention of such reviews is to identify trends across such portfolios and inform portfolio risk limits and loss mitigation strategies. In 2025, the Company assessed loans to certain not-for-profit borrowers, government contractors and other commercial borrowers that may be impacted by immigration policies and enforcement, changes to government funding and reductions in the federal workforce. The Company is also monitoring commercial borrowers in certain industry sectors that may be affected by international trade policy changes, such as tariffs, including retail and wholesale trade, manufacturing and construction companies. The Company has considered the information gathered in such reviews in the assignment of loan grades.
The Company continues to monitor its commercial real estate loan portfolio. The primary source of repayment of these loans is typically tenant lease payments to the investor/borrower. Elevated vacancies impacting some property types have contributed to lower current and anticipated future debt service coverage ratios, which have and may continue to influence the ability of borrowers to make existing loan payments. Lower debt service coverage ratios and reduced commercial real estate values also impact the ability of borrowers to refinance their obligations at loan maturity. Despite these challenges, the ability of borrowers to service loans secured by investor-owned real estate has generally improved in the recent year. The LTV ratio is one of many factors considered in assessing overall portfolio risks and loss mitigation strategies for the investor-owned commercial real estate portfolio. In determining the LTV ratio, the Company considers cross-collateralization of all exposures secured by the supporting collateral and the estimated value of such collateral. Subsequent to the origination of commercial real estate loans, updated appraisals are obtained in the normal course of business for renewals, extensions and modifications to commitment levels. As the quality of a loan deteriorates to the point of designating the loan as "criticized nonaccrual," the process of obtaining updated collateral valuation information is usually initiated, unless it is not considered warranted given factors such as the relative size of the loan or the age of the last valuation. In those cases where current appraisals may not yet be available, prior appraisals are utilized with adjustments, as deemed necessary, for estimates of subsequent declines in values as determined by line of business and/or loan workout personnel. Those adjustments are reviewed and assessed for reasonableness by the Company’s credit risk personnel. Accordingly, for real estate collateral securing larger nonaccrual commercial and industrial loans and commercial real estate loans, estimated collateral values are generally based on current estimates of value.
The Company monitors its concentration of commercial real estate lending as a percent of its Tier 1 capital plus its allowable allowance for credit losses, consistent with a metric utilized to differentiate such concentrations amongst regulated financial institutions. This metric, as prescribed in supervisory guidance, excludes loans secured by commercial real estate considered to be owner-occupied, but includes certain other loans, such as loans to real estate investment trusts, that are classified as commercial and industrial loans. The Company's commercial real estate loan concentration approximated 124% of Tier 1 capital plus its allowable allowance for credit losses at December 31, 2025, down from 136% at December 31, 2024. The Company executed various strategies to lessen its relative concentration of investor-owned commercial real estate loans and to reduce the amount of criticized loans in this category throughout 2024 and 2025.
Tables 20 and 21 summarize the outstanding balances, and associated criticized balances, of commercial and industrial loans by industry and commercial real estate loans by property type, respectively, at December 31, 2025 and 2024.

Loans to the health services, manufacturing and the transportation, communications and utilities industries contributed to the $77 million decrease in commercial and industrial criticized loans in the recent year, partially offset by an increase in criticized loans to motor vehicle and recreational finance dealers, the retail industry and financial and insurance companies. The $2.6 billion decline in criticized commercial real estate loans from December 31, 2024 to December 31, 2025 reflected decreases across all property types as well as in criticized construction and development loans. At December 31, 2025, approximately 94% of criticized accrual loans and 45% of criticized nonaccrual loans were considered current with respect to their payment status.
For loans secured by residential real estate the Company’s loss identification and estimation techniques make reference to loan performance and house price data in specific areas of the country where collateral securing those loans is located. For loans secured by residential real estate, including home equity loans and lines of credit, the excess of the loan balance over the net realizable value of the property collateralizing the loan is charged-off when the loan becomes 150 days delinquent. Information about the location of nonaccrual loans secured by residential real estate at December 31, 2025 and 2024 is presented in Table 22.

Factors that influence the Company’s credit loss experience include overall economic conditions affecting businesses and consumers, generally, but also residential and commercial real estate valuations, in particular, given the size of the Company’s real estate loan portfolios. Commercial real estate valuations can be highly subjective, as they are based upon many assumptions. Such valuations can be significantly affected over relatively short periods of time by changes in business climate, economic conditions, interest rates and, in many cases, the results of operations of businesses and other occupants of the real property. Similarly, residential real estate valuations can be impacted by housing trends, the availability of financing at reasonable interest rates and general economic conditions affecting consumers.
Consumer loans not secured by residential real estate are generally charged-off when the loans are 91 to 180 days past due, depending on whether the loan is collateralized and the status of repossession activities with respect to such collateral. A comparative summary of nonaccrual consumer loan balances and the respective percent of outstanding balances of each consumer loan product at December 31, 2025 and 2024 is presented in Table 23.

Net charge-offs in 2025 declined nominally from 2024, reflecting lower net charge-offs of commercial and industrial loans, partially offset by modest increases in net charge-offs of commercial real estate and consumer loans. Contributing to the lower net charge-offs of commercial and industrial loans were lower net charge-offs of loans to recreational finance dealers and transportation companies in 2025. Higher net charge-offs of permanent commercial real estate loans reflect a rise in net charge-offs of loans secured by health services properties. Net charge-offs as a percent of average consumer loans in 2025 were relatively flat as compared with 2024.
Allowance for loan losses
Management determines the allowance for loan losses under accounting guidance that requires estimating the amount of current expected credit losses over the remaining contractual term of the loan portfolio. A description of the methodologies used by the Company to estimate its allowance for loan losses can be found in note 4 of Notes to Financial Statements.
In establishing the allowance for loan losses, the Company estimates losses attributable to specific troubled credits identified through both normal and targeted credit review processes and also estimates losses for other loans with similar risk characteristics on a collective basis, generally through the use of statistically developed credit models, which are required to achieve a satisfactory independent validation by the Company's Model Risk Management Department, or other quantitative methodologies. In determining the allowance for loan losses, the Company may adjust forecasted loss estimates for inherent limitations or biases in the models as well as for other factors that may not be adequately considered in its quantitative methodologies including the impact of portfolio concentrations, imprecision in economic forecasts, geopolitical conditions and other risk factors that influence the loss estimation process. At each of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company qualitatively adjusted credit loss estimates for inherent limitations in the ability to assess real-time changes in commercial borrower performance and for environmental influences affecting certain loan portfolios. Qualitative adjustments at December 31, 2025, primarily related to portfolio exposures to certain commercial and industrial borrowers and commercial real estate loans, were modestly lower as compared with December 31, 2024.
At the time of the Company’s analysis regarding the determination of the allowance for loan losses as of December 31, 2025 uncertainties existed about the impact of inflationary pressures and potential increases in unemployment on the discretionary income and purchasing power of consumers, which could impact their ability to service existing debt obligations; the volatile nature of global markets and international economic conditions that could impact the U.S. economy, including the effect of international trade policies on domestic businesses and consumers; uncertainty related to Federal Reserve positioning of monetary policy and the potential impacts on future economic growth; shifts in immigration policies and enforcement; changes to government funding and reductions in federal workforce; downward pressures on commercial real estate values and the impacts on the ability of commercial borrowers to refinance maturing debt obligations; and the extent to which borrowers may be negatively affected by general economic conditions.
Forward-looking estimates of certain macroeconomic variables are determined by the M&T Scenario Review Committee, which is comprised of senior management business leaders and economists. The weighted-average of macroeconomic assumptions utilized as of December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 are presented in Table 25 and were based on information available at or near the time the Company was preparing its estimate of expected credit losses as of those dates.

With respect to economic forecasts, the Company assessed the likelihood of alternative economic scenarios during the two-year reasonable and supportable forecast period. Generally, an increase in unemployment rate or a decrease in any of the rate of change in GDP, commercial real estate prices or home prices could have an adverse impact on expected credit losses and may result in an increase to the allowance for loan losses. Forward-looking economic forecasts are subject to inherent imprecision and future outcomes may differ materially from forecasted events. In consideration of such uncertainty, the alternative economic scenarios shown in Table 26 were considered to estimate the possible impact on modeled credit losses.

These examples are only a few of the numerous possible economic scenarios that could be utilized in assessing the sensitivity of expected credit losses. The estimated impacts on credit losses in such scenarios pertain only to modeled credit losses and do not include consideration of other factors the Company may evaluate when determining its allowance for loan losses. As a result, it is possible that the Company may, at another point in time, reach different conclusions regarding credit loss estimates. The Company’s process for determining the allowance for loan losses undergoes quarterly and periodic evaluations by independent risk management personnel, which among many other considerations, evaluate the reasonableness of management’s methodology and significant assumptions.
Management has assessed that the allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2025 appropriately reflected expected credit losses in the portfolio as of that date. A comparative allocation of the allowance for loan losses and the reserve for unfunded credit commitments for each of the past three year ends is presented in Table 27. Amounts were allocated to specific loan categories based on information available to management at the time of each year-end assessment and using the methodologies described herein. Variations in the allocation of the allowance by loan category as a percent of those loans reflect changes in management’s estimate of credit losses in light of economic developments. Furthermore, the Company’s allowance is general in nature and is available to absorb losses from any loan or lease category.

__________________________________________________________________________________
(a)Included in the allowance for loan losses were reserves allocated as a percent of commercial real estate loans secured by office properties of 4.65% at December 31, 2025, 4.70% at December 31, 2024 and 4.37% at December 31, 2023.
(b)Given the Company’s general position as a secured lender and its practice of charging off loan balances when collection is deemed doubtful, this ratio and changes in the ratio are generally not an indicative measure of the adequacy of the Company’s allowance for loan losses, nor does management rely upon that ratio in assessing the adequacy of the Company’s allowance for loan losses.
(c)Included in Accrued interest and other liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
The lower ratio of the allowance for loan losses as a percent of loans outstanding at December 31, 2025 as compared with December 31, 2024, reflects lower levels of criticized commercial real estate loans. The level of the allowance reflects management’s evaluation of the loan portfolio as of each respective date using the methodology and considering the factors as described herein. Should the various economic forecasts and credit factors considered by management in establishing the allowance for loan losses change and should management’s assessment of losses in the loan portfolio also change, the level of the allowance as a percent of loans could increase or decrease in future periods.

Mortgage banking revenues
Mortgage banking revenues are comprised of both residential and commercial mortgage banking activities, which consist of realized gains and losses from sales of real estate loans and loan servicing rights, unrealized gains and losses on real estate loans held for sale and related commitments, real estate loan servicing fees, and other real estate loan related fees and income. The Company’s involvement in commercial mortgage banking activities includes the origination, sales and servicing of loans under the multifamily loan programs of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.

(b)Includes $4.6 billion and $4.2 billion of loan balances at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, for which investors had recourse to the Company if such balances are ultimately uncollectable.
The increase in gains on commercial mortgage loans originated for sale during 2025 as compared with 2024 reflects an increased volume of and higher margins on new commitments to originate commercial real estate loans for sale.
Service charges on deposit accounts
Service charges on deposit accounts increased $37 million from 2024 to 2025 reflecting higher commercial service charges that resulted from pricing changes and increased customer usage of sweep products.
Trust income
Trust income primarily includes revenues from two significant businesses managed within the Company's Institutional Services and Wealth Management segment. The Institutional Services business provides a variety of trustee, agency, investment management and administrative services for corporations and institutions, investment bankers, corporate tax, finance and legal executives, and other institutional clients who: (i) use capital markets financing structures; (ii) use independent trustees to hold assets; and (iii) need investment and cash management services. The Wealth Management business offers personal trust, planning and advisory, fiduciary, asset management, family office and other services designed to help high net worth individuals and families grow, preserve and transfer wealth.

The increase in Institutional Services trust income in 2025 as compared with 2024 reflects higher sales and fund management fees from its global capital markets business. Wealth Management trust income rose in 2025 as compared with 2024, reflecting favorable market performance associated with managed assets in 2025.
Brokerage services income
Brokerage services income, which includes revenues from the sale of mutual funds and annuities, securities brokerage fees and select investment products of LPL Financial, an independent financial services broker, increased $10 million in 2025 as compared with 2024 including higher sales of annuities and a rise in management fees reflecting market performance.
Trading account and other non-hedging derivative gains
The Company enters into interest rate swap agreements and foreign exchange contracts with customers who need such services and concomitantly enters into offsetting trading positions with third parties to minimize the risks involved with these types of transactions. Information about the notional amount of interest rate, foreign exchange and other non-hedging contracts entered into by the Company is included in note 17 of Notes to Financial Statements and herein under the heading "Market Risk and Interest Rate Sensitivity." The $19 million increase in income from trading account and other non-hedging derivative gains in 2025 as compared with 2024 reflects higher revenues from interest rate swap transactions with commercial customers.
Gain (loss) on bank investment securities
The Company recognized a net gain on investment securities of $2 million in 2025, compared with a net gain of $10 million in 2024. The net gain in 2024 reflects realized gains on the sale of equity investments in Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac preferred securities, partially offset by net realized losses on the sale of certain non-agency debt investment securities, as the Company divested of certain investment securities that were not considered relevant in its balance sheet management strategies.

__________________________________________________________________________________
(a)During 2017, the operating losses of BLG resulted in M&T reducing the carrying value of its investment in BLG to zero. Subsequently, M&T has received cash distributions when declared by BLG that result in the recognition of income by M&T. M&T expects cash distributions from BLG in the future, but the timing and amount of those distributions are not within M&T's control. BLG is entitled to receive distributions from its affiliates that provide asset management and other services that are available for distribution to BLG’s owners, including M&T. Information about the Company’s relationship with BLG and its affiliates is included in note 23 of Notes to Financial Statements.
Other revenues from operations in 2025 increased $94 million from 2024 reflecting a distribution of an earnout payment of $28 million related to the Company's 2023 sale of its CIT business; a $22 million rise in letter of credit and other credit-related fees, reflecting higher line usage and loan syndication fees; gains on the sales of an out-of-footprint loan portfolio totaling $15 million and a subsidiary that specialized in institutional services of $10 million; and a $12 million increase in merchant discount and credit card fees. Partially offsetting those favorable factors was a $28 million decline in distributions received from M&T's investment in BLG.

Salaries and employee benefits
Salaries and employee benefits expense increased $180 million in 2025 as compared with 2024 reflecting annual merit and other increases, a rise in average staffing levels and an increase in medical benefits expense of $30 million, stock-based compensation expense of $20 million and severance-related costs of $10 million.
The Company provides pension, retirement savings and other postretirement benefits for its employees. Expenses related to such benefits totaled $81 million in 2025 and $71 million in 2024. The amounts recorded in salaries and employee benefits expense and other costs of operations, respectively, from the preceding sentence were as follows: $173 million and ($92 million) in 2025; and $173 million and ($102 million) in 2024. The Company sponsors both defined benefit and defined contribution pension plans. In the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company recognized an $8 million benefit in other costs of operations associated with the purchase of annuities for certain participants in the Company's defined benefit pension plan that represented approximately $263 million, or 14%, of the plan's accumulated benefit obligation at the time of purchase. In 2024, the Company recognized a $12 million benefit in other costs of operations associated with the solicited election of certain participants in that plan to accept a lump-sum distribution in the fourth quarter of 2024 in lieu of future retirement benefit payments. Approximately $171 million of lump-sum settlements were distributed from the pension plan, representing approximately 8% of the plan's accumulated benefit obligation at the time of the distribution. Information about the Company’s pension plans and other postretirement benefits is included in note 12 of Notes to Financial Statements.
Nonpersonnel expenses
As described herein within Part I, Item 1, "Business," in November 2023 the FDIC finalized a rule that imposes a special assessment to recover the costs to the DIF resulting from the FDIC’s use in 2023 of the systemic risk exception to the least-cost resolution test under the FDIA in connection with the receiverships of certain failed banks. The Company recognized a special assessment expense of $34 million in 2024 and a reduction of such expense of $37 million in 2025, bringing the total special assessment expense of the Company since the 2023 rule was enacted to $194 million.
After considering FDIC assessments, the $50 million increase in nonpersonnel expenses in 2025 as compared with 2024 reflects an increase in outside data processing and software costs of $66 million associated with enhancements to the Company's technology infrastructure, cybersecurity and financial recordkeeping and reporting systems, a $30 million contribution to The M&T Charitable Foundation in 2025, an increase in equipment and net occupancy expense of $13 million and a rise in professional and other services of $12 million reflecting higher legal and review costs. Those unfavorable factors were partially offset by vacated facility write-downs of $27 million and losses on the redemption of certain issuances of M&T's Junior Subordinated Debentures of $20 million each in 2024.
Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes was $841 million in 2025, compared with $722 million in 2024. The Company's effective tax rates were 22.8% and 21.8% in 2025 and 2024, respectively. The effective income tax rates in 2025 and 2024 reflect net discrete tax benefits of $8 million and $31 million, respectively. The Company's effective tax rate is affected by the level of income earned that is exempt from tax relative to the overall level of pre-tax income, the amount of income allocated to the various state and local jurisdictions where the Company operates, because tax rates differ among such jurisdictions, and the impact of any large discrete or infrequently occurring items. The Company’s effective tax rate in future periods may also be affected by any change in income tax laws or regulations and interpretations of income tax regulations that differ from the Company’s interpretations by any of the various tax authorities that may examine tax returns filed by M&T or any of its subsidiaries. New federal tax legislation was signed into law on July 4, 2025, which included a broad range of tax reform provisions. The new legislation did not have a material impact on the Company's effective tax rate in 2025.
Liquidity Risk
As a financial intermediary, the Company is exposed to various risks, including liquidity and market risk. Liquidity refers to the Company’s ability to ensure that sufficient cash flow and liquid assets are available to satisfy current and future obligations, including demands for loans and deposit withdrawals, funding operating costs and other corporate purposes. Liquidity risk arises whenever the cash flows associated with financial instruments included in assets and liabilities differ.
The most significant source of funding for the Company is core deposits, which are generated from a large base of consumer, corporate and institutional customers. That customer base has become more geographically diverse as a result of expansion of the Company’s businesses over time. Nevertheless, the Company faces competition in offering products and services from a large array of financial market participants, including banks, thrifts, mutual funds, securities dealers and others. Core deposits totaled $153.3 billion at December 31, 2025, compared with $147.5 billion at December 31, 2024. The higher levels of core deposits at December 31, 2025 largely reflect increased savings and interest-checking deposits.
The Company supplements funding provided through core deposits with various short-term and long-term wholesale borrowings, including overnight federal funds purchases, repurchase agreements, advances from the FHLBs, brokered deposits and longer-term borrowings. M&T Bank has access to additional funding sources through secured borrowings from the FHLB of New York and the FRB of New York. M&T Bank is also a counterparty to the FRB of New York standing repurchase agreement facility, which allows it to enter into overnight repurchase transactions using eligible investment securities. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, long-term borrowings aggregated $10.9 billion and $12.6 billion, respectively, and short-term borrowings aggregated $2.1 billion and $1.1 billion, respectively. Information about the Company’s borrowings is included in note 8 of Notes to Financial Statements.
The Company's wholesale funding sources include the placement of brokered deposits. Such deposits, comprised predominantly of brokered savings and interest-checking deposit accounts, totaled 7% of the Company's total deposit base at each of December 31, 2025 and 2024. The Company actively adjusts its wholesale funding sources in consideration of the competitive landscape for customer deposits and maintenance of its liquidity profile.
Total uninsured deposits were estimated to be $78.9 billion at December 31, 2025 and $73.0 billion at December 31, 2024. Approximately $9.0 billion and $9.1 billion of those uninsured deposits were collateralized by the Company at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The Company maintains available liquidity sources, as presented in Table 39, which represent approximately 126% of uninsured deposits that are not collateralized by the Company at December 31, 2025.
The Company’s ability to obtain funding from these sources could be negatively impacted should the Company experience a substantial deterioration in its financial condition or its debt ratings or should the availability of funding become restricted due to a disruption in the financial markets. The Company attempts to quantify such risks by conducting scenario analyses that estimate the liquidity impact resulting from a debt ratings downgrade and other market events. Such impact is estimated by attempting to measure the effect on available unsecured lines of credit, available capacity from secured borrowing sources and securitizable assets.
Information about the credit ratings of M&T and M&T Bank at December 31, 2025 is presented in Table 34.

M&T’s primary source of funds to pay for operating expenses, shareholder dividends and treasury stock repurchases has historically been the receipt of dividends from its bank subsidiaries, which are subject to various regulatory limitations. Dividends from any bank subsidiary to M&T are limited by the amount of earnings of the subsidiary in the current year and the two preceding years. For purposes of that test, at December 31, 2025, approximately $2.58 billion was available for payment of dividends to M&T from bank subsidiaries. M&T may also obtain funding through long-term borrowings and the repayment of advances to subsidiaries. Further information about the long-term outstanding borrowings of M&T is provided in note 8 of Notes to Financial Statements. As a BHC, M&T is obligated to serve as a managerial and financial source of strength to its bank subsidiaries as described in Part I, Item 1, "Business," and may provide advances to those subsidiaries. As its ability to access the capital markets may be affected by market disruptions, M&T maintains sufficient resources at its parent company to satisfy projected cash outflows for an extended period without reliance on dividends from subsidiaries or external financing. As of December 31, 2025, M&T's parent company liquidity, inclusive of the projected repayment of notes receivable from bank subsidiaries, covered projected cash outflows for 36 months, including dividends on common and preferred stock, debt service and scheduled debt maturities.
In addition to deposits and borrowings, other sources of liquidity include maturities and repayments of investment securities, loans and other earning assets, as well as cash generated from operations, such as fees collected for services. The Company also has the ability to securitize or sell certain financial assets, including various loan types, to provide other liquidity alternatives. U.S. Treasury and government-issued or guaranteed mortgage-backed securities comprised 94% of the Company's debt securities portfolio at December 31, 2025. The weighted-average durations of debt investment securities available for sale and held to maturity at December 31, 2025 were 2.4 years and 5.3 years, respectively.

(a)The data reflects contractually required payments, but excludes nonaccrual loans.
The Company enters into contractual obligations in the normal course of business that require future cash payments. Such obligations include, among others, payments related to deposits, borrowings, leases and other contractual commitments. The contractual amounts and timing of those payments as of December 31, 2025 are summarized in Table 37. Off-balance sheet commitments to customers may impact liquidity, including commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit, commercial letters of credit, financial guarantees and indemnification contracts and commitments to sell real estate loans. Because many of these commitments or contracts expire without being funded in whole or in part, the contract amounts are not necessarily indicative of future cash flows. Further discussion of these commitments is provided in note 20 of Notes to Financial Statements. Table 37 summarizes the Company's other commitments as of December 31, 2025 and the timing of the expiration of such commitments.

The Company's Executive ALCO Committee closely monitors the Company’s liquidity position on an ongoing basis for compliance with internal policies and regulatory expectations. As a Category IV institution, the Company adheres to enhanced liquidity standards which require the performance of internal liquidity stress testing. The stress testing is designed to ensure the Company has sufficient liquidity to withstand both institution-specific and market-wide stress scenarios. For each scenario, the Company applies liquidity stress which may include deposit run-off, increased draws on unfunded loan commitments, increased collateral need for margin calls, increased haircuts on investment security-based funding and reductions in unsecured and secured borrowing capacity. Stress scenarios are measured over various time frames ranging from overnight to twelve months. As required by regulation, the Company maintains a liquidity buffer comprised of cash and highly liquid unencumbered securities to cover a 30-day stress horizon. Liquidity stress events occurring over longer time horizons can be mitigated by the availability of secured funding sources at the FHLB of New York and FRB of New York. As described in Part I, Item 1, "Liquidity," the Federal Reserve
and other federal banking regulators established the LCR as a uniform measure to ensure banking organizations hold sufficient amounts of cash and unencumbered high-quality liquid assets to cover net cash outflows over a 30-day liquidity stress period. As a Category IV institution with less than a $50 billion balance of weighted short-term wholesale funding, M&T is not subject to the LCR. M&T, however, estimates that its LCR on December 31, 2025 was 109%, exceeding the regulatory minimum standards that would be applicable if it were a Category III institution subject to the Category III reduced LCR requirements.
Presented in Table 39 is a summary of the Company's available sources of liquidity at December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

Management continuously evaluates the use and mix of its various available funding alternatives, including short-term borrowings, issuances of long-term debt, the placement of brokered deposits and the securitization of certain loan products. Management does not anticipate engaging in any activities, either currently or in the long term, for which adequate funding would not be available and would therefore result in a significant strain on liquidity at either M&T or its subsidiary banks. In accordance with liquidity regulations, the Company maintains a contingency funding plan to facilitate on-going liquidity management in times of liquidity stress. The plan outlines various funding options available during a liquidity stress event and establishes a clear escalation protocol to be followed within the Company's Risk Framework. The plan sets forth funding strategies and procedures that management can quickly leverage to assist in decision-making and specifies roles and responsibilities for departments impacted by a potential liquidity stress event.
Market Risk and Interest Rate Sensitivity
Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse changes in the market prices and/or interest rates of the Company’s financial instruments. A primary market risk the Company is exposed to is interest rate risk. Interest rate risk arises from the Company’s core banking activities of lending and deposit-taking, because assets and liabilities reprice at different times and by different amounts as interest rates change. As a result, net interest income earned by the Company is subject to the effects of changing interest rates. The Company measures interest rate risk by calculating the variability of net interest income in future periods under various interest rate scenarios using projected balances for earning assets, interest-bearing liabilities and derivatives used to hedge interest rate risk. Management’s philosophy toward interest rate risk management is to limit the variability of net interest income.
The Company’s Executive ALCO Committee monitors the sensitivity of the Company’s net interest income to changes in interest rates with the aid of a computer model that forecasts net interest income under different interest rate scenarios. In modeling changing interest rates, the Company considers different yield curve shapes that contemplate both parallel (that is, when interest
rates at each point of the yield curve change by the same magnitude) and non-parallel (that is, allowing interest rates at points on the yield curve to change by different amounts) shifts in the yield curve. The Company also contemplates instantaneous and gradual shifts in the yield curve over the scenario time horizon. In utilizing the model, market-implied forward interest rates over the subsequent twelve months are generally used to determine a base interest rate scenario for the net interest income simulation. That calculated base net interest income is then compared with the income calculated under the varying interest rate scenarios. The model considers the impact of ongoing lending and deposit-gathering activities, as well as interrelationships in the magnitude and timing of the repricing of financial instruments, including the effect of changing interest rates on expected prepayments and maturities.
Management has taken actions to mitigate exposure to interest rate risk through the use of on- and off-balance sheet financial instruments and intends to do so in the future. Possible actions include, but are not limited to, changes in the pricing of loan and deposit products, modifying the composition of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, and adding to, modifying or terminating existing interest rate swap agreements or other financial instruments used for interest rate risk management purposes. At December 31, 2025, the aggregate notional amount of interest rate swap agreements entered into for interest rate risk management purposes that were currently in effect was $19.6 billion. In addition, the Company has entered into $11.5 billion of forward-starting interest rate swap agreements designated for hedging purposes. Information about interest rate swap agreements entered into for interest rate risk management purposes is included herein under the heading "Taxable-equivalent Net Interest Income" and in note 17 of Notes to Financial Statements.
The accompanying table as of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 displays the estimated impact on net interest income in the base scenarios described above resulting from changes in market interest rates. The scenarios presented in the table below assume a gradual and parallel change in interest rates across repricing categories during the first modeling year.
Table 40
SENSITIVITY OF NET INTEREST INCOME TO CHANGES IN INTEREST RATES
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| (Dollars in millions) | Calculated Increase (Decrease) in Projected Net Interest Income |
| Changes in interest rates | December 31, 2025 | | December 31, 2024 |
| +200 basis points | $ | (40) | | | $ | (4) | |
| +100 basis points | (9) | | | 16 | |
| -100 basis points | 3 | | | (36) | |
| -200 basis points | (20) | | | (81) | |
The Company utilized many assumptions to calculate the impact that changes in interest rates may have on net interest income. The more significant of those assumptions included the rate of prepayments of mortgage-related assets, cash flows from derivative and other financial instruments, loan and deposit volumes, mix and pricing, and deposit maturities. Variations in amounts presented since December 31, 2024 reflect changes in the composition of the Company's earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, as well as the level of market-implied forward interest rates and hedging actions taken by the Company. M&T's cumulative upward deposit pricing beta, which is the change in deposit pricing in response to a change in market interest rates, approximated 55% amidst a rising interest rate environment from the first quarter of 2022 through the second quarter of 2024. Reflecting the first cuts of the federal funds target interest rate since March 2020, the FOMC decreased that rate by 100 basis points during the last four months of 2024 and by an additional 75
basis points during the last four months of 2025. M&T's cumulative downward deposit pricing beta beginning in the third quarter of 2024 through December 31, 2025 approximated 51%. The assumptions used in interest rate sensitivity modeling are inherently uncertain and, as a result, the Company cannot precisely predict the impact of changes in interest rates on net interest income. Actual results may differ significantly from those presented due to the timing, magnitude and frequency of changes in interest rates and changes in market conditions and interest rate differentials (spreads) between maturity/repricing categories, as well as any actions, such as those previously described, which management may take to counter such changes.
Management also uses an EVE model to supplement the modeling technique described above and provide a long-term interest rate risk metric. EVE is a point-in-time analysis of the economic sensitivity of existing assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet positions that incorporates all cash flows over their estimated remaining lives. The EVE reflects the present value of cash flows from existing assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet financial instruments, but does not incorporate any assumptions for future originations, renewals or issuances. Management measures the impact of changes in market values due to interest rates under a number of scenarios, including immediate shifts of the yield curve. The percentage impact to the EVE resulting from a 100 basis-point increase and a 100 basis-point decrease in market interest rates was -5.1% and 2.2%, respectively, as of December 31, 2025, and -5.1% and 2.5%, respectively, at December 31, 2024.
In addition to the effect of interest rates, changes in fair value of the Company’s financial instruments can also result from a lack of trading activity for similar instruments in the financial markets. Information about the fair valuation of financial instruments is presented in note 19 of Notes to Financial Statements.
The Company enters into interest rate and foreign exchange contracts to meet the financial needs of customers that it includes in its consolidated financial statements as other non-hedging derivatives within other assets and other liabilities. Financial instruments utilized for such activities consist predominantly of interest rate swap agreements and forward and futures contracts related to foreign currencies. The Company generally mitigates the interest rate and foreign currency risk associated with customer activities by entering into offsetting positions with third parties that are also included in other assets and other liabilities. The fair values of non-hedging derivative positions associated with interest rate contracts and foreign currency and other option and futures contracts are presented in note 17 of Notes to Financial Statements. As with any non-government guaranteed financial instrument, the Company is exposed to credit risk associated with counterparties to its non-hedging derivative activities. Although the notional amounts of these contracts are not recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheet, the unsettled fair values of such financial instruments are recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The fair values of such non-hedging derivative assets and liabilities recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheet were $190 million and $409 million, respectively, at December 31, 2025 and $206 million and $787 million, respectively, at December 31, 2024. The amounts recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheet associated with the Company's non-hedging derivative activities at December 31, 2025 and 2024 primarily reflect changes in values associated with interest rate swap agreements entered into with commercial customers and financial institutions that are not subject to periodic variation margin settlement payments.
Trading account assets were $97 million at December 31, 2025 and $101 million at December 31, 2024 and were comprised of mutual funds and other assets related to certain deferred compensation plans and non-qualified supplemental retirement and other benefit plans that were assumed by the Company in various acquisitions. Changes in the fair values of such assets are recorded as Trading account and other non-hedging derivative gains in the Consolidated Statement of
Income. Changes in the valuation of the related liabilities, which are included in Accrued interest and other liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet, are recognized in Other costs of operations in the Consolidated Statement of Income.
Given the Company’s policies and positions, management believes that the potential loss exposure to the Company resulting from market risk associated with trading account and other non-hedging derivative activities was not material at December 31, 2025, however, as previously noted, the Company is exposed to credit risk associated with counterparties to such activities. Information about the Company’s use of derivative financial instruments is included in note 17 of Notes to Financial Statements.

On January 22, 2025, M&T's Board of Directors authorized a program under which $4.0 billion of common shares may be repurchased. That authorization replaced and terminated the previous authorized share repurchase program effective as of the same date. M&T repurchased 14.3 million shares of its common stock in 2025 at a total cost of $2.66 billion. In 2024, M&T repurchased 2.1 million shares of its common stock at a total cost of $400 million. Discretion as to the amount and timing of authorized share repurchases in a given period has been delegated, through the authorization of the Board of Directors, to management and can be influenced by capital and liquidity requirements, including funding of future loan growth and other balance sheet management activities, as well as market and economic conditions.
M&T and its subsidiary banks are required to comply with applicable Capital Rules which prescribe minimum capital ratios. Capital Rules require buffers in addition to these minimum risk-based capital ratios. M&T is subject to an SCB requirement that is determined through the Federal Reserve’s supervisory stress tests and M&T’s bank subsidiaries are subject to a 2.5% capital conservation buffer requirement. The buffer requirement must be composed entirely of CET1 capital. In June 2025, the Federal Reserve released the results of its most recent supervisory stress tests. Based on those results, on October 1, 2025, M&T's SCB of 2.7% became effective. The regulatory capital amounts and ratios of M&T and its bank subsidiaries as of December 31, 2025 are presented in note 22 of Notes to Financial Statements. A detailed discussion of the Capital Rules is included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-K under the heading "Capital Requirements."
Capital Rules generally require the deduction of goodwill and core deposit and other intangible assets, net of applicable deferred taxes, from the calculation of capital in the determination of the minimum capital ratios. As a result of previous business acquisitions, the Company recorded goodwill of $8.5 billion and core deposit and other intangible assets of $64 million at December 31, 2025. Goodwill, as required by GAAP, is not amortized, but rather is tested for impairment at least annually at the business reporting unit level. The Company completed its annual goodwill impairment test in the fourth quarter of 2025 and concluded the amount of goodwill was not impaired at the testing date. The Company has not identified events or circumstances that would more likely
than not reduce the fair value of a business reporting unit below its carrying amount at December 31, 2025. Should a business reporting unit with assigned goodwill experience declines in revenue, increased credit losses or expenses, or other adverse developments due to economic, regulatory, competition or other factors, that would be material to that reporting unit, an impairment of goodwill could occur in a future period that could be material to the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet and its Consolidated Statement of Income. Although a goodwill impairment charge would not have a significant impact on the Company's regulatory tangible capital ratios, it would reduce the capacity of its bank subsidiary, M&T Bank, to dividend earnings to M&T. As described herein under the heading "Liquidity Risk," M&T's parent company liquidity at December 31, 2025, inclusive of the projected repayment of notes receivables from bank subsidiaries, covered projected cash outflows for 36 months, including dividends on common and preferred stock, debt service and scheduled debt maturities. Information concerning goodwill and other intangible assets is included in note 7 of Notes to Financial Statements.
The Company is subject to the comprehensive regulatory framework applicable to BHCs and FHCs and their subsidiaries, which includes examinations by a number of regulators. Regulation of financial institutions such as M&T and its subsidiaries is intended primarily for the protection of depositors, the DIF of the FDIC and the banking and financial system as a whole, and generally is not intended for the protection of shareholders, investors or creditors other than insured depositors. Changes in laws, regulations and regulatory policies applicable to the Company’s operations can increase or decrease the cost of doing business, limit or expand permissible activities or affect the competitive environment in which the Company operates, all of which could have a material effect on the business, financial condition or results of operations of the Company and on M&T’s ability to pay dividends. For additional information concerning this comprehensive regulatory framework, refer to Part I, Item 1, "Supervision and Regulation of the Company" of this Form 10-K.
As described in Part I, Item 1, "Capital Requirements" of this Form 10-K, in July 2023 the federal banking agencies issued a notice of proposed rulemaking to modify the regulatory capital requirements applicable to large banking organizations with total assets exceeding $100 billion, like the Company. Management continues to evaluate the impact of the proposed rules on the regulatory capital requirements of M&T and its subsidiary banks. At December 31, 2025, the inclusion of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) components related to investment securities available for sale and defined benefit plan liability adjustments would have increased the Company's CET1 capital ratio by 13 basis points.
Segment Information
Reportable segments have been determined based upon the Company’s organizational structure which is primarily arranged around the delivery of products and services to similar customer types. The reportable segments are Commercial Bank, Retail Bank, and Institutional Services and Wealth Management. All other business activities that are not included in the three reportable segment results have been included in the "All Other" category. A description of the business activities conducted by each of the Company's segments and the accounting policies utilized in compiling financial information of such segments is provided in note 21 of Notes to Financial Statements.

Net income for the Commercial Bank segment increased $33 million in 2025 as compared with 2024.
•Net interest income declined $60 million reflecting a narrowing of the net interest margin on deposits of 19 basis points and a decline in average loans of $2.3 billion, partially offset by a rise in average deposit balances of $2.2 billion.
•Noninterest income increased $123 million due to higher other revenues from operations of $59 million that included a rise in credit-related fees of $21 million, gains on the sales of an out-of-footprint residential builder and developer loan portfolio of $15 million and equipment leases of $12 million. Also contributing to that increase was higher commercial mortgage banking revenues of $27 million, trading account and other non-hedging derivative gains of $20 million, reflective of an increase in interest rate swap agreements with commercial customers, and service charges on commercial deposit accounts of $17 million.
•The provision for credit losses increased $7 million reflecting a higher provision for unfunded credit commitments.
•Noninterest expense increased $22 million reflecting higher centrally-allocated costs associated with data processing, risk management, and other support services provided to the Commercial Bank segment of $15 million and a rise in outside data processing and software costs of $8 million.
•Average loans decreased $2.3 billion reflecting a reduction in average commercial real estate loans of $5.1 billion, partially offset by higher average commercial and industrial loans of $2.8 billion, reflecting an increase in loans to financial and insurance companies and motor vehicle and recreational finance dealers.
•Average deposits grew $2.2 billion reflecting growth in average savings and interest-checking deposits, partially offset by a decline in average noninterest-bearing deposits.

Critical Accounting Estimates
The Company’s significant accounting policies conform with GAAP and are described in note 1 of Notes to Financial Statements. In applying certain of those accounting policies, management of the Company may be required to exercise judgment in determining many of the methodologies, assumptions and estimates to be utilized. Critical accounting estimates are more dependent on such judgment and may contribute to significant changes in the Company’s reported financial position or results of operations should the assumptions and estimates used change over time due to changes in circumstances. The significant areas in which management of the Company applies critical assumptions and estimates include the following:
Allowance for loan losses
The allowance for loan losses represents a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of loans to present the net amount expected to be collected at the balance sheet date. A provision for credit losses is recorded to adjust the level of the allowance for loan losses as deemed necessary by management. In estimating expected credit losses, borrower-specific financial data and forward-looking macroeconomic assumptions are utilized to project losses over a reasonable and supportable forecast period. For certain loan pools that share similar risk characteristics, the Company utilizes statistically developed models to estimate amounts and timing of expected future cash flows, collateral values and other factors used to determine the borrowers’ abilities to repay obligations. Such models consider historical correlations of credit losses with various macroeconomic assumptions including unemployment, GDP and real estate prices. Subsequent to the forecast period, the Company utilizes longer-term historical loss experience to estimate credit losses over the remaining contractual lives of the loans. These forecasts may be adjusted for inherent limitations or biases of the models as well as for other factors that may not be adequately considered in the Company’s quantitative methodologies. The methodologies, significant assumptions and estimated amount of the allowance for loan losses are subject to quarterly and periodic evaluations by independent risk management personnel and are approved by M&T's Allowance for Credit Losses Committee. A discussion of facts and circumstances considered by management in determining the allowance for loan losses is included herein under the heading "Provision for Credit Losses" and in note 4 of Notes to Financial Statements.
Changes in the circumstances considered when determining management’s estimates and assumptions could result in changes in those estimates and assumptions, which could result in adjustment of the allowance for loan losses in future periods. Forward-looking economic forecasts are subject to inherent imprecision and future outcomes may differ materially from forecasted events. A sensitivity analysis of forward-looking estimates of macroeconomic variables on modeled credit losses used in the determination of the allowance for loan losses is provided herein under the heading "Provision for Credit Losses."
Fair value measurement
As described in note 19 of Notes to Financial Statements, many of the Company’s assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet on a recurring basis. Fair value represents the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Management of the Company applies various valuation methodologies to assets and liabilities which may involve a significant degree of judgment, particularly when liquid markets do not exist for the particular items being valued. Significant assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are predominantly comprised of available-for-sale investment securities and interest rate swap agreements.
Available-for-sale investment securities are primarily comprised of U.S. Treasury securities and government issued or guaranteed commercial and residential mortgage-backed securities. Those securities are generally valued by a third-party pricing service through reference to quoted prices for the same or similar securities or through model-based techniques in which the significant inputs are observable. The Company generally determines the fair value of interest rate swap agreements using externally developed pricing models based on market observable inputs. The fair valuation of investment securities available for sale and interest swap agreements are independently reviewed and challenged by M&T’s Treasury Product Control Department, the results of which are reported to the Company’s Executive ALCO Committee. Further information on the fair value of investment securities and derivative financial instruments is included herein under the heading "Taxable-equivalent Net Interest Income” and in notes 3, 17 and 19 of Notes to Financial Statements.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the consideration transferred to acquire an entity over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized, but rather is tested for impairment at least annually at the reporting unit level. For purposes of testing for impairment the Company has assigned all recorded goodwill to the reporting units originally intended to benefit from past business combinations. To test for goodwill impairment, the Company compared the estimated fair value of each of its reporting units to the respective carrying amounts and certain other assets and liabilities assigned to the reporting unit, including goodwill and core deposit and other intangible assets. For the Company’s annual impairment test on October 1, 2025, the Company estimated the fair value of its reporting units using an income approach (weighted 75%) and a market approach (weighted 25%). The Company’s estimation of fair value under the income approach considered discounting projected cash flows for each reporting unit based on multi-year financial forecasts, and under the market approach considered certain valuation multiples for comparable financial institutions. Based on the results of the goodwill impairment test, the Company concluded that the amount of recorded goodwill was not impaired as of the testing date.
The Company’s reporting units are not readily marketable and market prices do not exist. The estimation of fair value of those reporting units includes many assumptions which are subjective and highly sensitive to changes in such assumptions. In estimating those values the Company has not attempted to market its reporting units to potential buyers, if any exist. Since negotiated prices in illiquid markets depend greatly upon the then present motivation of the buyer and seller, it is reasonable to assume that actual sales prices could vary widely from any estimate of fair value made without the benefit of negotiations. Additionally, changes in market conditions or other risk factors described in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” could materially impact the value of the Company’s reporting units. The Company has performed sensitivity analysis around its discount rate assumptions used in its valuations and estimated that a 100 basis-point increase to the discount rates used in the fair value estimation at October 1, 2025 would not have resulted in an impairment of goodwill assigned to any reporting unit.
Information regarding goodwill assigned to the Company’s operating segments is presented in note 7 in Notes to Financial Statements and a discussion of the treatment of goodwill for regulatory capital purposes is provided herein under the heading “Capital.”
Legal proceedings and other matters
Many aspects of the Company’s business and operations involve substantial risk of legal liability. M&T and its subsidiaries are subject in the normal course of business to various pending and threatened legal proceedings and other matters for which monetary damages are asserted or unasserted. In addition, from time to time, the Company is, or may become, the subject of governmental and self-regulatory agency information-gathering requests, reviews, investigations and proceedings and other forms of regulatory inquiry, including by bank and other regulatory agencies, the SEC and law enforcement authorities.
Although the Company establishes accruals for legal proceedings when information related to the loss contingencies represented by those matters indicates both that a loss is probable and that the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated, the Company does not have accruals for all legal proceedings where it faces a risk of loss. In addition, due to the inherent subjectivity of the assessments and unpredictability of the outcome of legal proceedings, amounts accrued may not represent the ultimate loss to the Company from the legal proceedings in question. Thus, the Company’s ultimate losses may be higher, and possibly significantly so, than the amounts accrued for legal loss contingencies, which could adversely affect the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. Information regarding those contingencies and their potential effects on the Company’s results of operations and financial position is included in note 20 of Notes to Financial Statements.
Recent Accounting Developments
Effective January 1, 2026, the Company elected to prospectively measure its residential mortgage loan servicing right assets at fair value with changes in fair value being reflected in Mortgage banking revenues in the Consolidated Statement of Income. The accounting election resulted in an increase to capitalized servicing assets, included in Accrued interest and other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheet, of $263 million and a corresponding after-tax increase to Retained earnings of $197 million, representing an 8 basis-point increase to CET1 capital on the election date. In preparation for this election, on December 31, 2025 the Company began economically hedging the risk of fair value changes in those residential mortgage loan servicing right assets through the use of various interest rate derivative contracts, for which changes in fair value will also be reflected in Mortgage banking revenues in the Consolidated Statement of Income beginning in 2026. Further information on the fair value of capitalized servicing assets, the significant assumptions used to value such assets and the sensitivity of those fair values to changes in assumptions is included in note 6 of Notes to Financial Statements. A discussion of recent accounting developments, including the fair value election of residential mortgage loan servicing right assets effective January 1, 2026, is included in note 1 of Notes to Financial Statements.
Forward-Looking Statements
"Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and other sections of this Form 10-K contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Any statement that does not describe historical or current facts is a forward-looking statement, including statements based on current expectations, estimates and projections about the Company’s business, and management’s beliefs and assumptions.
Statements regarding the potential effects of events or factors specific to the Company and/or the financial industry as a whole, as well as national and global events generally, on the Company’s business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations may constitute forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to the risk that the actual effects may differ, possibly
materially, from what is reflected in those forward-looking statements due to factors and future developments that are uncertain, unpredictable and in many cases beyond the Company’s control.
Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words such as "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "intend," "target," "estimate," "continue," or "potential," by future conditional verbs such as "will," "would," "should," "could," or "may," or by variations of such words or by similar expressions. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions which are difficult to predict and may cause actual outcomes to differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted.
While there can be no assurance that any list of risks and uncertainties is complete, important factors that could cause actual outcomes and results to differ materially from those contemplated by forward-looking statements include the following, without limitation, as well as the risks more fully discussed in Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors" of this Form 10-K: economic conditions and growth rates, including inflation and market volatility; events, developments and current conditions in the financial services industry, including trust, brokerage and investment management businesses; changes in interest rates, spreads on earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, and interest rate sensitivity; prepayment speeds, loan originations, loan concentrations by type and industry, credit losses and market values on loans, collateral securing loans, and other assets; sources of liquidity; levels of client deposits; ability to contain costs and expenses; changes in the Company’s credit ratings; domestic or international political developments and other geopolitical events, including trade and tariff policies and international conflicts and hostilities; changes and trends in the securities markets; common shares outstanding and common stock price volatility; fair value of and number of stock-based compensation awards to be issued in future periods; the impact of changes in market values on trust-, brokerage-, and investment management-related revenues; federal, state or local legislation and/or regulations affecting the financial services industry, or M&T and its subsidiaries individually or collectively, including tax policy; regulatory supervision and oversight, including monetary policy and capital requirements; governmental and public policy changes; political conditions, either nationally or in the states in which M&T and its subsidiaries do business; the initiation and outcome of potential, pending and future litigation, investigations and governmental proceedings, including tax-related examinations and other matters; operational risk events, including loss resulting from fraud by employees or persons outside M&T and breaches in data and cybersecurity; changes in accounting policies or procedures as may be required by the FASB, regulatory agencies or legislation; increasing price, product and service competition by competitors, including new entrants; technological developments and changes; the ability to continue to introduce competitive new products and services on a timely, cost-effective basis; the mix of products and services; protection and validity of intellectual property rights; reliance on large customers; technological, implementation and cost/financial risks in large, multi-year contracts; continued availability of financing; financial resources in the amounts, at the times and on the terms required to support M&T and its subsidiaries' future businesses; and material differences in the actual financial results of merger, acquisition, divestment and investment activities compared with M&T's initial expectations, including the full realization of anticipated cost savings and revenue enhancements.
These are representative of the factors that could affect the outcome of the forward-looking statements. In addition, as noted, such statements could be affected by general industry and market conditions and growth rates, general economic and political conditions, either nationally or in the states in which M&T and its subsidiaries do business, and other factors. Further details regarding such factors, risks and uncertainties related to the Company are described in the "Risk Factors" section of this Form 10-K. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and the Company assumes no duty and does not undertake to update forward-looking statements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of M&T Bank Corporation
Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of M&T Bank Corporation and its subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the related consolidated statements of income, of comprehensive income, of changes in shareholders' equity and of cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, including the related notes (collectively referred to as the "consolidated financial statements"). We also have audited the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO").
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the COSO.
Change in Accounting Principle
As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed the manner in which it accounts for Cash and Cash Equivalents in 2025.
Basis for Opinions
The Company's management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A. Our responsibility is to express opinions on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.
Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and
evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (i) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (ii) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
Allowance for Loan Losses – Adjustments to model forecasts
As described in Notes 1 and 4 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s allowance for loan losses of $2.1 billion reflects management's expected credit losses in the loan portfolio of $138.7 billion as of December 31, 2025. For purposes of determining the level of the allowance for loan losses, management evaluates the Company’s portfolios by loan type. Management utilizes statistically developed models to project principal balances over the remaining contractual lives of the loan portfolios and to determine estimated credit losses through a reasonable and supportable forecast period. Model forecasts may be adjusted for inherent limitations or biases that have been identified through independent validation and back-testing of model performance to actual realized results. Management may adjust forecasted loss estimates for inherent limitations or biases in the models as well as for other factors that may not be adequately considered in its quantitative methodologies including the impact of portfolio concentrations, imprecision in its economic forecasts, geopolitical conditions and other risk factors that might influence its loss estimation process.
The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the allowance for loan losses, specifically certain adjustments to model forecasts, is a critical audit matter are (i) the significant judgment by management in determining the adjustments to model forecasts, (ii) a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity, and effort in performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence related to management’s determination of these adjustments to model forecasts, and (iii) the audit effort involved the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge.
Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to the Company’s allowance for loan losses estimation process, including controls relating to the allowance for loan losses estimation process for certain adjustments to model forecasts. These procedures also included, among others, testing management’s process for determining the allowance for loan losses and these adjustments to model forecasts, including evaluating the appropriateness of management’s methodology, testing the data utilized by management and evaluating the reasonableness of significant assumptions relating to these adjustments to model forecasts. Evaluating significant assumptions relating to these adjustments to model forecasts involved evaluating portfolio composition and concentration, as well as relevant market data. Professionals with specialized skill and knowledge were used to assist in evaluating the appropriateness of management’s methodology and the reasonableness of significant assumptions relating to these adjustments to model forecasts.

M&T BANK CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Financial Statements
1.Significant accounting policies
M&T is a BHC headquartered in Buffalo, New York. Through subsidiaries, M&T provides individuals, corporations and other businesses, and institutions with commercial and retail banking services, including loans and deposits, mortgage banking, trust, asset management and other financial services. Banking activities are largely focused on consumers residing in New York, Maryland, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Virginia, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia and on small and medium-size businesses based in those areas. Certain subsidiaries also conduct activities in other areas.
The accounting and reporting policies of the Company are in accordance with GAAP and general practices within the banking industry. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The Company's significant accounting policies are as follows:
Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include M&T and all of its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions of consolidated subsidiaries have been eliminated in consolidation. The financial statements of M&T included in note 24 report investments in subsidiaries under the equity method. Information about some limited purpose entities that are affiliates of the Company but are not included in the consolidated financial statements appears in note 18.
Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows
For purposes of this statement, Cash and due from banks and federal funds sold are considered Cash and cash equivalents. Effective for the year-ended December 31, 2025, the Company changed its accounting policy to also include Interest-bearing deposits at banks, which are primarily comprised of interest-bearing deposits at the FRB of New York, as Cash and cash equivalents. The Company considers such deposits to be an immediate source of funds in its liquidity management processes and therefore considers the accounting policy election preferable. Prior period amounts in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows have been adjusted to reflect this change in accounting policy as summarized in the following table:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| 2024 | | 2023 |
| (Dollars in millions) | Previously Reported | | Adjusted | | Previously Reported | | Adjusted |
| Net change in interest-bearing deposits at banks | $ | 9,196 | | | $ | — | | | $ | (3,110) | | | $ | — | |
| Net cash from investing activities | (550) | | | (9,746) | | | (7,874) | | | (4,764) | |
| Net change in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash | 178 | | | (9,018) | | | 211 | | | 3,321 | |
| Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash at beginning of period | 1,731 | | | 29,800 | | | 1,520 | | | 26,479 | |
| Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash at end of period | 1,909 | | | 20,782 | | | 1,731 | | | 29,800 | |
| | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | |
During 2025, with the increased volume of sales and purchases of loans, the Company began separately presenting Proceeds from sales of loans, which were not originally held for sale, in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. Previously proceeds from sales of loans, which were not originally held for sale, were included in Net change in loans in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. Previously reported amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.
Securities purchased under agreements to resell and securities sold under agreements to repurchase
Securities purchased under agreements to resell and securities sold under agreements to repurchase are treated as collateralized financing transactions and are recorded at amounts equal to the cash or other consideration exchanged. It is generally the Company’s policy to take possession of collateral pledged to secure agreements to resell.
Trading account
Financial instruments used for trading purposes are stated at fair value. Realized gains and losses and unrealized changes in fair value of financial instruments utilized in trading activities are included in Trading account and other non-hedging derivative gains in the Consolidated Statement of Income.
Investment securities
Investments in debt securities are classified as held to maturity and stated at amortized cost when management has the positive intent and ability to hold such securities to maturity. Investments in other debt securities are classified as available for sale and stated at fair value with unrealized changes in fair value included in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net, in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Premiums and discounts on investment securities available for sale and held to maturity are amortized or accreted into interest income over the contractual life of the security.
Investments in equity securities having readily determinable fair values are stated at fair value and unrealized changes in fair value are included in earnings. Investments in equity securities that do not have readily determinable fair values are stated at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer. Other equity securities include stock of the FRB of New York and the FHLB of New York.
GAAP requires an allowance for credit losses be deducted from the amortized cost basis of financial assets, including investment securities held to maturity, to present the net carrying value at the amount that is expected to be collected over the contractual term. In cases where fair value of an available-for-sale debt security is less than its amortized cost basis and the Company does not intend to sell the available-for-sale debt security and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security before recovery of the amortized cost basis, the difference between the fair value and the amortized cost basis is separated into (a) the amount representing the credit loss and (b) the amount related to all other factors. The amount related to the credit loss is recognized as an allowance for credit losses while the amount related to other factors is recognized in other comprehensive income, net of applicable income taxes. If the Company intends to sell the security or it is more likely than not to be required to sell the security before recovery of the amortized cost basis, the security is written down to fair value with the entire amount recognized in earnings. Subsequently, the Company accounts for the debt security as if the security had been purchased on the measurement date of the write down at an amortized cost basis equal to the previous amortized cost basis less the amount of the write down recognized in earnings. Realized gains and losses on the sales of investment securities are determined using the specific identification method.
Loans
The Company’s accounting methods for loans depend on whether the loans were originated or acquired by the Company.
Originated loans
Loan fees and certain direct loan origination costs are deferred and recognized as an interest yield adjustment over the life of the loan. Interest income on loans is accrued on a level yield method. Loans are placed on nonaccrual status and previously accrued interest thereon is charged against income when the Company expects it will be unable to collect all amounts owed under the terms of the loan agreement or when principal or interest is delinquent 90 days. With respect to junior lien loans secured by residential real estate, to the extent known by the Company, if a related senior lien loan would be on nonaccrual status because of payment delinquency, even if such senior lien loan was not owned by the Company, the junior lien loan or line that is owned by the Company is placed on nonaccrual status. Certain loans greater than 90 days delinquent continue to accrue interest if they are well-secured and in the process of collection. Loans less than 90 days delinquent are deemed to have an insignificant delay in payment and generally continue to accrue interest. Interest received on loans placed on nonaccrual status is generally applied to reduce the carrying value of the loan or, if principal is considered fully collectable, recognized as interest income. Nonaccrual commercial and industrial loans and commercial real estate loans are returned to accrual status when borrowers have demonstrated an ability to repay their loans and there are no delinquent principal and interest payments. Residential real estate loans and consumer loans are returned to accrual status when all past due principal and interest payments have been paid by the borrower.
Loan balances are charged-off when it becomes evident that such balances are not fully collectable. For commercial and industrial loans and commercial real estate loans, charge-offs are recognized after an assessment by credit personnel of the capacity and willingness of the borrower to repay, the estimated value of any collateral, and any other potential sources of repayment. A charge-off is recognized when, after such assessment, it becomes evident that the loan balance is not fully collectable. For residential real estate loans, including home equity loans and lines of credit, the excess of the loan balance over the net realizable value of the property collateralizing the loan is charged-off when the loan becomes 150 days delinquent. That charge-off is based on recent indications of value from external parties that are generally obtained shortly after a loan becomes nonaccrual. When evaluating individual home equity loans and lines of credit for charge-off and for purposes of estimating losses in determining the allowance for loan losses, the Company gives consideration to the required repayment of any first lien positions related to collateral property. Other consumer loans are generally charged-off when the loans are 91 to 180 days past due, depending on whether the loan is collateralized and the status of repossession activities with respect to such collateral. Loans to consumers that file for bankruptcy are generally charged-off to estimated net collateral value shortly after the Company is notified of such filings.
During the normal course of business, the Company modifies loans to maximize recovery efforts from borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. Generally a borrower exhibiting weakness in paying capacity that could influence the repayment of a loan's contractual principal and interest obligations is considered to be experiencing financial difficulty. Loan modifications typically include extensions of maturity dates but may also include other modified terms. Those modified loans may be considered nonaccrual if the Company does not expect to collect the contractual cash flows owed under the loan agreement.
Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or fair value. Commitments to sell real estate loans are utilized by the Company to hedge the exposure to changes in fair value of real estate loans originated for sale. The carrying value of hedged real estate loans held for sale recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheet includes changes in fair value during the hedge period, typically from the date of close through the sale date. Valuation adjustments made on these loans and commitments are included in Mortgage banking revenues in the Consolidated Statement of Income.
Acquired loans
Expected credit losses for PCD loans are initially recognized as an allowance for loan losses and are added to the purchase price to determine the amortized cost basis of the loans. Any non-credit discount or premium resulting from acquiring such loans is recognized as an adjustment to interest income over the remaining lives of the loans. Subsequent changes in the amount of expected credit losses on such loans are recognized in the allowance for loan losses in the same manner as originated loans. For all other acquired loans, the difference between the fair value and outstanding principal balance of the loans is recognized as an adjustment to interest income over the lives of those loans. Those loans are then accounted for in a manner that is similar to originated loans.
Allowance for loan losses and reserve for unfunded credit commitments
The allowance for loan losses represents a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of loans to present the net amount expected to be collected at the balance sheet date. The reserve for unfunded credit commitments represents a liability for expected credit losses for such commitments, including the Company's recourse obligations related to loans sold under the Fannie Mae DUS program. In estimating expected losses in the loan portfolio and for unfunded credit commitments, borrower-specific financial data and macroeconomic assumptions are utilized to project losses over a reasonable and supportable forecast period. Assumptions and judgment are applied to measure amounts and timing of expected future cash flows, collateral values and other factors used to determine the borrowers’ abilities to repay obligations. Subsequent to the forecast period, the Company utilizes longer-term historical loss experience to estimate losses over the remaining contractual life of the loans and commitments.
Assets taken in foreclosure of defaulted loans
Assets taken in foreclosure of defaulted loans are included in Accrued interest and other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Upon acquisition of assets taken in satisfaction of a defaulted loan, the excess of the remaining loan balance over the asset’s estimated fair value less costs to sell is charged-off against the allowance for loan losses. Subsequent declines in value of the assets are included in Other costs of operations in the Consolidated Statement of Income.
Premises and equipment
Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation expense is computed principally using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows: buildings (up to 39.5 years); furniture and equipment (up to 10 years); and leasehold improvements (up to 15 years or lease term if shorter). Right-of-use assets related to operating lease arrangements for various facilities and other assets with an original term greater than 12 months are included in Premises and equipment and the corresponding lease liabilities are included in Accrued interest and other liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Capitalized servicing rights
Capitalized servicing assets are included in Accrued interest and other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Separately recognized servicing assets are initially measured at fair value. The Company uses the amortization method to subsequently measure capitalized servicing assets. Under that method, capitalized servicing assets are charged to expense in proportion to and over the period of estimated net servicing income.
To estimate the fair value of servicing rights, the Company considers market prices for similar assets and the present value of expected future cash flows associated with the servicing rights calculated using assumptions that market participants would use in estimating future servicing income and expense. Such assumptions include estimates of the cost of servicing loans, loan default rates, an appropriate discount rate, and prepayment speeds. For purposes of evaluating and measuring impairment of capitalized servicing rights, the Company stratifies such assets based on the predominant risk characteristics of the underlying financial instruments that are expected to have the most impact on projected prepayments, cost of servicing and other factors affecting future cash flows associated with the servicing rights. Such factors may include financial asset or loan type, note rate and term. The amount of impairment recognized is the amount by which the carrying value of the capitalized servicing rights for a stratum exceeds fair value. Impairment is recognized through a valuation allowance.
Sales and securitizations of financial assets
Transfers of financial assets for which the Company has surrendered control of the financial assets are accounted for as sales. Interests in a sale of financial assets that continue to be held by the Company, including servicing rights, are initially measured at fair value. The fair values of retained debt securities are generally determined through reference to independent pricing information. The fair values of retained servicing rights and any other retained interests are determined based on the present value of expected future cash flows associated with those interests and by reference to market prices for similar assets.
Securitization structures and other financial vehicles oftentimes require the use of special-purpose trusts that are considered variable interest entities. A variable interest entity is included in the consolidated financial statements if the Company has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the variable interest entity’s economic performance and has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the variable interest entity that could potentially be significant to that entity. The recognition or de-recognition in the Company’s consolidated financial statements of assets and liabilities held by variable interest entities is subject to the interpretation and application of complex accounting pronouncements or interpretations that require management to estimate and assess the relative significance of the Company’s financial interests in those entities and the degree to which the Company can influence the most important activities of the entities.
Goodwill and core deposit and other intangible assets
Goodwill represents the excess of the consideration transferred to acquire an entity over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized, but rather is tested for impairment at least annually on October 1 or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that an impairment may exist. Other acquired intangible assets with finite lives, such as core deposit intangibles, are initially recorded at estimated fair value and are amortized over their estimated lives. Core deposit and other intangible assets are generally amortized using accelerated methods over estimated useful lives. The Company periodically assesses whether events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of core deposit and other intangible assets may be impaired.
Derivative financial instruments
The Company accounts for derivative financial instruments at fair value. If certain conditions are met, a derivative may be specifically designated as (i) a hedge of the exposure to changes in the fair value of a recognized asset or liability or an unrecognized firm commitment, (ii) a hedge of the exposure to variable cash flows of a forecasted transaction or (iii) a hedge of the foreign currency exposure of a net investment in a foreign operation, an unrecognized firm commitment, an available-for-sale security, or a foreign currency denominated forecasted transaction.
The Company utilizes interest rate swap agreements as part of the management of interest rate risk to modify the repricing characteristics of certain portions of its portfolios of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. For such agreements, amounts receivable or payable are recognized as accrued under the terms of the agreement and the net differential is recorded as an adjustment to interest income or expense of the related asset or liability. Interest rate swap agreements may be designated as either fair value hedges or cash flow hedges. In a fair value hedge, the fair values of the interest rate swap agreements and changes in the fair values of the hedged items attributable to the hedged risk are recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheet with the corresponding gain or loss recognized in current earnings. The difference between changes in the fair values recognized in earnings of interest rate swap agreements and the hedged items represents hedge ineffectiveness and is recorded in the same income statement line item that is used to present the earnings effect of the hedged item in the Consolidated Statement of Income. In a cash flow hedge, the derivative’s unrealized gain or loss is initially recorded as a component of other comprehensive income and subsequently reclassified into earnings when the forecasted transaction affects earnings.
The Company utilizes commitments to sell real estate loans to hedge the exposure to changes in the fair value of real estate loans originated for sale. Commitments to originate real estate loans to be held for sale and commitments to sell real estate loans are generally recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheet at fair value. Valuation adjustments made on these commitments are included in Mortgage banking revenues in the Consolidated Statement of Income.
Derivative instruments not related to mortgage banking activities, including financial futures commitments and interest rate swap agreements, that do not satisfy the hedge accounting requirements are recorded at fair value and are generally classified as other assets or other liabilities with resultant changes in fair value being recognized in Trading account and other non-hedging derivative gains in the Consolidated Statement of Income.
Revenue from contracts with customers
A significant amount of the Company’s revenues are derived from net interest income on financial assets and liabilities, mortgage banking revenues, trading account and other non-hedging derivative gains, investment securities gains, loan and letter of credit fees, income from bank-owned life insurance, and certain other revenues that are generally excluded from the scope of accounting guidance for revenue from contracts with customers. For other noninterest income revenue streams, the Company generally recognizes the expected amount of consideration as revenue when the performance obligations related to the services under the terms of a contract are satisfied. The Company’s contracts generally do not contain terms that necessitate significant judgment to determine the amount of revenue to recognize.
Service charges on deposit accounts include fees deducted directly from customer account balances, such as account maintenance, insufficient funds and other transactional service charges, and also include debit card interchange revenue resulting from customer initiated transactions. Account maintenance charges are generally recognized as revenue on a monthly basis, whereas other fees are recognized after the respective service is provided.
Trust income includes revenues from a variety of trustee, agency, investment, cash management and administrative services, asset management, fiduciary services, and family office services. Trust fees may be billed in arrears or in advance and are recognized as revenue as the Company’s performance obligations are satisfied. Certain fees are based on a percentage of assets invested or under management and are recognized as the service is performed and constraints regarding the uncertainty of the amount of fees are resolved.
Brokerage services income includes revenues from the sale of mutual funds and annuities and securities brokerage fees. Such revenues are generally recognized at the time of transaction execution. Mutual fund and other distribution fees are recognized upon initial placement of customer funds as well as in future periods as such customers continue to hold amounts in those mutual funds.
Other revenues from operations include merchant discount and credit card interchange fees that are generally recognized when the cardholder’s transaction is approved and settled. Also included in Other revenues from operations are insurance commissions, ATM surcharge fees, and advisory and other fees. Insurance commissions are recognized at the time the insurance policy is executed with the customer. Insurance renewal commissions are recognized upon subsequent renewal of the policy. ATM surcharge fees are included in revenue at the time of the respective ATM transaction. Advisory and other fees are generally recognized when the Company has satisfied its service obligation.
Stock-based compensation
Compensation expense is recognized over the vesting period of stock-based awards based on estimated grant date value, except that the recognition of compensation costs is accelerated for stock-based awards granted to retirement-eligible employees and employees who will become retirement-eligible prior to full vesting of the award because the Company’s incentive compensation plan allows for vesting at the time an employee retires. The Company may issue shares from treasury stock to the extent available or issue new shares to satisfy its obligations with respect to stock-based compensation awards.
Income taxes
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax effects attributable to differences between the financial statement value of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates and laws.
The Company evaluates uncertain tax positions using the two-step process. The first step requires a determination of whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. Under the second step, a tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement.
The Company accounts for its investments in qualified affordable housing projects using the proportional amortization method. Under that method, the Company amortizes the initial cost of the investment in proportion to the tax credits and other tax benefits received and recognizes the net investment performance in the income statement as a component of income tax expense. On January 1, 2024, the Company adopted amended guidance which permits an election to account for other tax equity investments using the proportional amortization method if certain conditions are met. The Company has elected to apply the proportional amortization method to eligible renewable energy and certain other tax credit investments in addition to the low income housing tax credit investments for which the proportional amortization method had previously been applied.
Earnings per common share
Basic earnings per common share exclude dilution and are computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding (exclusive of shares represented by the unvested portion of restricted stock and restricted stock unit grants) and common shares distributable under deferred compensation arrangements during the period. Diluted earnings per common share reflect shares represented by the unvested portion of restricted stock and restricted stock unit grants and the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in earnings. Proceeds assumed to have been received on such exercise or conversion are assumed to be used to purchase shares of M&T common stock at the average market price during the period, as required by the "treasury stock method" of accounting.
GAAP requires that unvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) be considered participating securities and be included in the computation of earnings per common share pursuant to the two-class method. The Company has issued stock-based compensation awards in the form of restricted stock and restricted stock units that contain such rights and, accordingly, the Company’s earnings per common share are calculated using the two-class method.
Treasury stock
Repurchases of shares of M&T common stock are recorded at cost as a reduction of shareholders’ equity. Reissuances of shares of treasury stock are recorded at average cost.
Recent accounting developments
As described in note 6, effective January 1, 2026 the Company elected to prospectively measure its residential mortgage loan servicing assets at fair value. The following table provides a description of accounting standards that were adopted by the Company in 2025 as well as standards that were not yet effective at December 31, 2025 that could have an impact to M&T's consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Standard | | | Description | | | Required date of adoption | | | Effect on consolidated financial statements | |
| Standards adopted in 2025 |
| Income Taxes - Improvements to income tax disclosures | | | The standard requires enhanced disclosures in the notes to financial statements including income taxes paid by jurisdiction (federal, state, foreign) and a tabular rate reconciliation between the reported amount of income tax expense (or benefit) and the amount of statutory federal income tax at current rates. | | | December 31, 2025 | | | The Company adopted the amended guidance in its consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025. Related disclosures are included in note 13. | |
Standards not yet adopted as of December 31, 2025 |
| Income Statement - Expense disaggregation disclosures | | | The standard requires disclosure in the notes to financial statements of specified information about certain cost and expense captions on the income statement. | | | January 1, 2027 (Early adoption permitted) | | | The Company does not expect the guidance will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. | |
| Improvements to the accounting for purchased loans | | | The standard expands the population of acquired financial assets accounted for using a gross-up approach which records an initial allowance for credit losses through an adjustment to the initial amortized cost basis. Acquired loans (excluding credit cards) are deemed purchased seasoned loans and accounted for using the gross-up approach upon acquisition if criteria established by the new guidance are met. All non-PCD loans (excluding credit cards) that are acquired in a business combination are deemed seasoned. | | | January 1, 2027 (Early adoption permitted) | | | The Company prospectively adopted the amended guidance effective January 1, 2026. The Company does not expect the guidance will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. | |
| Hedge accounting improvements | | | The amendment expands the hedged risks permitted to be aggregated in a group of individual forecasted transactions in a cash flow hedge by changing the requirement to designate a group of individual forecasted transactions from having a shared risk exposure to having a similar risk exposure. The amendment also provides a model to facilitate the application of cash flow hedge accounting to forecasted interest payments on variable rate debt instruments that permit the borrower to change the interest rate index. The amendment also modifies certain other hedge accounting rules. | | | January 1, 2027 (Early adoption permitted) | | | The Company does not expect the guidance will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. | |
| Targeted improvements to the accounting for internal-use software | | | The standard eliminates the concept of a software development project stage such that the guidance is agnostic to different software development methods and introduces a new threshold for cost capitalization. The standard also provides factors to consider when determining whether significant development uncertainty exists. | | | January 1, 2028 (Early adoption permitted) | | | The Company does not expect the guidance will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. | |

2.Divestitures
In April 2023, Wilmington Trust, N.A., a wholly owned subsidiary of M&T, sold its CIT business to a private equity firm. The transaction resulted in a gain of $225 million that has been included in Other revenues from operations in the Consolidated Statement of Income for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Credit quality indicators
The Company utilizes a loan grading system to differentiate risk amongst its commercial and industrial loans and commercial real estate loans. Loans with a lower expectation of default are assigned one of ten possible "pass" loan grades and are generally ascribed lower loss factors when determining the allowance for loan losses. Loans with an elevated level of credit risk are designated as "criticized" and are ascribed a higher loss factor when determining the allowance for loan losses. Criticized loans may be designated as "nonaccrual" if the Company no longer expects to collect all amounts according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement or the loan is delinquent 90 days or more.
Line of business personnel in different geographic locations with support from and review by the Company’s credit risk personnel review and reassign loan grades based on their detailed knowledge of individual borrowers and their judgment of the impact on such borrowers resulting from changing conditions in their respective regions. Factors considered in assigning loan grades include borrower-specific information related to expected future cash flows and operating results, collateral values, geographic location, financial condition and performance, payment status, and other information. The Company’s policy is that, at least annually, updated financial information be obtained from commercial borrowers associated with pass grade loans and additional analysis performed. On a quarterly basis, the Company’s credit personnel reviews criticized commercial and industrial loans and commercial real estate loans greater than $5 million to determine the appropriateness of the assigned loan grade, including whether the loan should be reported as accruing or nonaccruing.
The following table summarizes the loan grades applied at December 31, 2025 to the various classes of the Company’s commercial and industrial loans and commercial real estate loans and gross charge-offs for those types of loans for the year then ended by origination year.

Despite the allocation in the preceding tables, the allowance for loan losses is general in nature and is available to absorb losses from any loan or lease type. In determining the allowance for loan losses, accruing loans with similar risk characteristics are evaluated collectively, generally through the use of statistically developed credit models or other quantitative methodologies. The statistically developed models project principal balances over the remaining contractual lives of the loan portfolios and determine estimated credit losses through a reasonable and supportable forecast period. Individual loan credit quality indicators, including loan grade and borrower repayment performance, can inform the models, which have been statistically developed based on historical correlations of credit losses with prevailing economic metrics, including unemployment, GDP and real estate prices. Model forecasts may be adjusted for inherent limitations or biases that have been identified through independent validation and back-testing of model performance to actual realized results. At each of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company utilized a reasonable and supportable forecast period of two years. Subsequent to this forecast period the Company reverted, ratably over a one-year period, to historical loss experience to inform its estimate of losses for the remaining contractual life of each portfolio. In determining the allowance for loan losses, the Company may adjust forecasted loss estimates for inherent limitations or biases in the models as well as for other factors that may not be adequately considered in its quantitative methodologies including the impact of portfolio concentrations, imprecision in its economic forecasts, geopolitical conditions and other risk factors that might influence its loss estimation process.
The Company also estimates losses attributable to specific troubled credits identified through both normal and targeted credit review processes. The amounts of specific loss components in the Company’s loan portfolios are determined through a loan-by-loan analysis of larger balance commercial and industrial loans and commercial real estate loans that are in nonaccrual status. Such loss estimates are typically based on expected future cash flows, collateral values and other factors that may impact the borrower’s ability to pay. To the extent that those loans are collateral-dependent, they are evaluated based on the fair value of the loan’s collateral as estimated at or near the financial statement date. As the quality of a loan deteriorates to the point of designating the loan as "criticized nonaccrual," the process of obtaining updated collateral valuation information is usually initiated, unless it is not considered warranted given factors such as the relative size of the loan, the characteristics of the collateral or the age of the last valuation. In those cases where current appraisals may not yet be available, prior appraisals are utilized with adjustments, as deemed necessary, for estimates of subsequent declines in values as determined by line of business and/or loan workout personnel. Those adjustments are reviewed and assessed for reasonableness by the Company’s credit risk personnel. Accordingly, for real estate collateral securing larger nonaccrual commercial and industrial loans and commercial real estate loans, estimated collateral values are generally based on current appraisals and estimates of value. For non-real estate loans, collateral is assigned a discounted estimated liquidation value and, depending on the nature of the collateral, is verified through field exams or other procedures. In assessing collateral, real estate and non-real estate values are reduced by an estimate of selling costs.
Changes in the amount of the allowance for loan losses reflect the outcome of the procedures described herein, including the impact of changes in macroeconomic forecasts as compared with previous forecasts, as well as the impact of portfolio concentrations, imprecision in economic forecasts, geopolitical conditions and other risk factors that might influence the loss estimation process.

The right-of-use assets and lease liabilities relate to banking offices and other space occupied by the Company and use of certain equipment under noncancelable operating lease agreements. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recognized $652 million and $677 million, respectively, of operating lease liabilities as a component of Accrued interest and other liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Company utilized its incremental secured borrowing rate based on lease term.
The Company’s noncancelable operating lease agreements generally expire at various dates over the next 16 years. Real estate leases generally consist of fixed monthly rental payments with certain leases containing escalation clauses. Any variable lease payments or payments for nonlease components are recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Income as a component of Equipment and net occupancy expense based on actual costs incurred. Some leases contain lessee options to extend the term. Those options are included in the lease term when it is determined that it is reasonably certain the option will be exercised.
The Company has noncancelable operating lease agreements for certain equipment related to ATMs, servers, printers and mail machines that are used in the normal course of operations. The ATM leases are either based on the rights to a specific square footage or a license agreement whereby the Company has the right to operate an ATM in a lessor's location. The lease terms generally contain both fixed payments and variable payments that are transaction-based. Given the transaction-based nature of the variable payments, such payments are excluded from the measurement of the right-of-use asset and lease liability and are recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Income as a component of Equipment and net occupancy expense when incurred.
The following table presents the Company’s lease costs and other information for operating leases recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

(a)Loan servicing fees related to capitalized mortgage loan servicing assets of $204 million,$213 million and $195 million were included in Mortgage banking revenues in the Consolidated Statement of Income in 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
(b)During 2023, the Company completed a $350 million bulk purchase of residential mortgage loan servicing rights associated with $19.5 billion of residential real estate loans.
The fair value of capitalized residential mortgage loan servicing assets was approximately $550 million at December 31, 2025 and $612 million at December 31, 2024. The fair value of capitalized residential mortgage loan servicing assets was estimated using weighted-average discount rates of 11.17% and 11.64% at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and contemporaneous prepayment assumptions that vary by loan type. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, the discount rate represented a weighted-average OAS of 750 basis points and 758 basis points over market implied forward SOFR, respectively. The fair value of capitalized residential mortgage loan servicing rights may vary significantly in subsequent periods due to changing interest rates and the effect thereof on prepayment speeds. The fair value of capitalized commercial mortgage loan servicing assets was approximately $194 million at each of December 31, 2025 and 2024. Weighted-average discount rates of 11.97% and 12.80% were used to estimate the fair value of capitalized commercial mortgage loan servicing rights at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Estimated servicing revenues and expenses used to value such servicing rights considered historical payment performance trends and current market interest rates. In general, the servicing agreements allow the Company to share in customer loan prepayment fees and thereby recover the remaining carrying value of the capitalized servicing rights associated with such loans. The Company's ability to realize the carrying value of capitalized commercial mortgage loan servicing rights is more dependent on the borrowers' abilities to repay the underlying loans than it is on prepayments.
The key economic assumptions used to determine the fair value of significant portfolios of capitalized servicing rights at December 31, 2025 and the sensitivity of such value to changes in those assumptions are summarized in the table that follows. Those calculated sensitivities are hypothetical and actual changes in the fair value of capitalized servicing rights may differ significantly from the amounts presented herein. The effect of a variation in a particular assumption on the fair value of the servicing rights is calculated without changing any other assumption. In reality, changes in one factor may result in changes in another which may magnify or counteract the sensitivities. The changes in assumptions are presumed to be instantaneous.

Effective January 1, 2026, the Company elected to prospectively measure its residential mortgage loan servicing right assets at fair value, which resulted in an increase to capitalized servicing assets of $263 million and a corresponding increase to Retained earnings, after tax-effect, of $197 million on that date.

The Company completed its annual goodwill impairment test as of October 1, 2025. For purposes of testing for impairment, the Company assigned all recorded goodwill to the reporting units originally intended to benefit from past business combinations. To test for goodwill impairment at the evaluation date, the Company compared the estimated fair value of each of its reporting units to their respective carrying amounts and certain other assets and liabilities assigned to the reporting unit, including goodwill and core deposit and other intangible assets. For the Company’s annual impairment test on October 1, 2025, the Company estimated the fair value of its reporting units using an income approach (weighted 75%) and a market approach (weighted 25%). The Company’s estimation of fair value under the income approach considered discounting projected cash flows for each reporting unit based on multi-year financial forecasts, and under the market approach considered certain valuation multiples for comparable financial institutions. Reporting unit valuations also considered control premiums associated with cost savings and other benefits that might be assumed in a market transaction for such businesses. Based on the results of the goodwill impairment test, the Company concluded that the amount of recorded goodwill was not impaired at the testing date. The Company was not aware of any events occurring in the fourth quarter of 2025 that more likely than not would have resulted in an impairment of recorded goodwill at December 31, 2025.
A summary of goodwill assigned to each of the Company’s reportable segments for purposes of testing for impairment at each of December 31, 2025 and 2024 is as follows:

The Junior Subordinated Debentures are held by various trusts and were issued in connection with the issuance by those trusts of Preferred Capital Securities and Common Securities. The proceeds from the issuances of the Preferred Capital Securities and the Common Securities were used by the trusts to purchase the Junior Subordinated Debentures. The Common Securities of each of those trusts are wholly owned by M&T and are the only class of each trust’s securities possessing general voting powers. The Preferred Capital Securities represent preferred undivided interests in the assets of the corresponding trust. Under the Federal Reserve’s risk-based capital guidelines, the Preferred Capital Securities qualify for inclusion in Tier 2 regulatory capital. Holders of the Preferred Capital Securities receive preferential cumulative cash distributions unless M&T exercises its right to extend the payment of interest on the Junior Subordinated Debentures as allowed by the terms of each such debenture, in which case payment of distributions on the respective Preferred Capital Securities will be deferred for comparable periods. During an extended interest period, M&T may not pay dividends or distributions on, or repurchase, redeem or acquire any shares of its capital stock. In general, the agreements governing the Preferred Capital Securities, in the aggregate, provide a full, irrevocable and unconditional guarantee by M&T of the payment of distributions on, the redemption of, and any liquidation distribution with respect to the Preferred Capital Securities. The obligations under such guarantee and the Preferred Capital Securities are subordinate and junior in right of payment to all senior indebtedness of M&T. In 2025 and 2024, the Company redeemed $34 million and $130 million, respectively, par value of Junior Subordinated Debentures prior to their stated maturity dates. The early redemptions resulted in a loss of $3 million and $20 million in 2025 and 2024, respectively, which were included in Other costs of operations in the Consolidated Statement of Income.
Asset-backed notes represent the senior-most notes issued in securitization transactions that are secured by equipment finance loans and leases or automobile loans which were sold into special purpose trusts. Further information concerning these asset securitizations and the amounts of loans collateralizing the asset-back notes is included in note 4 and note 18, respectively.

9.Shareholders’ equity
M&T is authorized to issue 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a $1.00 par value per share. Preferred shares outstanding rank senior to common shares both as to dividends and liquidation preference, but have no general voting rights. Notwithstanding M&T’s option to redeem the shares, if an event occurs such that the shares no longer qualify as Tier 1 capital, M&T may redeem all of the shares within 90 days following that occurrence. Issued and outstanding preferred stock of M&T as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 is presented below:

10.Revenue from contracts with customers
The Company generally charges customer accounts or otherwise bills customers upon completion of its services. Typically, the Company’s contracts with customers have a duration of one year or less and payment for services is received at least annually, but oftentimes more frequently as services are provided. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had $75 million and $72 million, respectively, of amounts receivable related to recognized revenue from the sources in the accompanying tables. Such amounts are classified in Accrued interest and other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. In certain situations the Company is paid in advance of providing services and defers the recognition of revenue until its service obligation is satisfied. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had deferred revenue of $54 million and $57 million, respectively, related to the sources in the accompanying tables recorded in Accrued interest and other liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Stock purchase plan
The stock purchase plan provides eligible employees of the Company with the right to purchase shares of M&T common stock at a discount through accumulated payroll deductions. As of December 31, 2025, there were 1,807,347 shares available for issuance under the plan. In connection with the employee stock purchase plan, shares of M&T common stock issued were 64,316 in 2025, 100,964 in 2024 and 90,575 in 2023. M&T received cash for shares purchased through the employee stock purchase plan of $12 million in 2025 and $13 million in each of 2024 and 2023.
Deferred bonus plan
The Company provided a deferred bonus plan pursuant to which eligible employees could elect to defer all or a portion of their annual incentive compensation awards and allocate such awards to several investment options, including M&T common stock. The deferred bonus plan was frozen effective January 1, 2010 and did not allow any additional deferrals after that date. Participants could elect the timing of distributions from the plan. Such distributions are payable in cash with the exception of balances allocated to M&T common stock which are distributable in the form of M&T common stock. Shares of M&T common stock distributable pursuant to the terms of the deferred bonus plan were 7,710 and 9,831 at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Directors’ stock compensation programs
The Company maintains compensation programs for members of the Company’s boards of directors and its regional director advisory councils that provides for a portion of their compensation to be received in shares or restricted stock units. In 2025 and 2024, 17,105 and 22,990 shares, respectively, were granted under such programs.
Through acquisitions, the Company assumed obligations to issue shares of M&T common stock related to deferred directors' compensation plans. Shares of common stock distributable under such plans were 194 and 1,811 at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
12.Pension plans and other postretirement benefits
The Company provides pension and other postretirement benefit plans (including health care and life insurance benefits) to eligible retired employees. The Company uses a December 31 measurement date for all of its plans.
Net periodic pension and net other postretirement benefits expenses for defined benefit plans consisted of the following:

Service cost is reflected in Salaries and employee benefits and the other components of net periodic benefit cost are reflected in Other costs of operations in the Consolidated Statement of Income. In 2025, the Company recognized an $8 million settlement gain resulting from the purchase of annuities for certain plan participants in the Company's defined benefit pension plan. In 2024, the Company recognized a $12 million settlement gain associated with the solicited election of certain participants in the Company's defined benefit pension plan to accept a lump-sum distribution in lieu of future retirement benefit payments. Those transactions reduced each of the plan's assets and its benefit obligations by $263 million in 2025 and $171 million in 2024.
Data relating to the funding position of the defined benefit plans were as follows:

__________________________________________________________________________________(a)The Company has an unfunded supplemental pension plan for certain key executives and others. The projected benefit obligation and accumulated benefit obligation included in the table related to such plan were $127 million as of December 31, 2025 and $132 million as of December 31, 2024.
GAAP requires an employer to recognize in its balance sheet as an asset or liability the overfunded or underfunded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan, measured as the difference between the fair value of plan assets and the benefit obligation. For a pension plan, the benefit obligation is the projected benefit obligation; for any other postretirement benefit plan, such as a retiree health care plan, the benefit obligation is the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation. Gains or losses and prior service costs or credits that arise during the period, but are not included as components of net periodic benefit expense, are recognized as a component of other comprehensive income. Amortization of net gains and losses is included in annual net periodic benefit expense if, as of the beginning of the year, the net gain or loss exceeds 10% of the greater of the benefit obligation or the market-related fair value of the plan assets. The net loss in 2025 was mainly the result of a decrease to the assumed discount rate used to value plan liabilities. The table below reflects the changes in plan assets and benefit obligations recognized in other comprehensive income related to the Company’s postretirement benefit plans.

Assumptions
The assumed weighted-average rates used to determine benefit obligations at December 31 were:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Pension Benefits | | Other Postretirement Benefits |
| 2025 | | 2024 | | 2025 | | 2024 |
| Discount rate | 5.25 | % | | 5.50 | % | | 5.25 | % | | 5.50 | % |
| Rate of increase in future compensation levels | 3.30 | | | 3.30 | | | — | | | — | |
The assumed weighted-average rates used to determine net benefit expense for the years ended December 31 were:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Pension Benefits | | Other Postretirement Benefits |
| 2025 | | 2024 | | 2023 | | 2025 | | 2024 | | 2023 |
| Discount rate | 5.46 | % | | 5.02 | % | | 5.00 | % | | 5.50 | % | | 5.00 | % | | 5.00 | % |
| Long-term rate of return on plan assets | 6.00 | | | 6.23 | | | 6.25 | | | — | | | — | | | — | |
| Rate of increase in future compensation levels | 3.30 | | | 3.32 | | | 3.33 | | | — | | | — | | | — | |
The discount rate used by the Company to determine the present value of the Company’s future benefit obligations reflects specific market yields for a hypothetical portfolio of highly rated corporate bonds that would produce cash flows similar to the Company’s benefit plan obligations and the level of market interest rates in general as of the year-end.
The expected long-term rate of return assumption as of each measurement date was developed through analysis of historical market returns, current market conditions, anticipated future asset allocations and expectations on potential future market returns. The expected rate of return assumption represents a long-term average view of the performance of the plan assets, a return that may or may not be achieved during any one calendar year.
The Company’s defined benefit pension plan is sensitive to the long-term rate of return on plan assets and the discount rate. To demonstrate the sensitivity of the net periodic pension benefit for 2025 to changes in these assumptions, with all other assumptions held constant, 25 basis-point increases in: the rate of return on plan assets would have resulted in an increase in the net periodic pension benefit of approximately $8 million; and the discount rate would have resulted in a decrease in net periodic pension benefit of approximately $1 million. Decreases of 25 basis points in those assumptions would have resulted in similar changes in amount, but in the opposite direction from the changes presented in the preceding sentence. Additionally, an increase of 25 basis points in the discount rate would have decreased the benefit obligation by $43 million and a decrease of 25 basis points in the discount rate would have increased the benefit obligation by $45 million at December 31, 2025.
For measurement of other postretirement benefits, a 6.75% annual rate of increase in the per capita cost of covered health care benefits was assumed for 2025. The rate was assumed to decrease to 5.00% over eight years.
Plan assets
The Company’s policy is to invest the pension plan assets in a prudent manner for the purpose of providing benefit payments to participants and mitigating reasonable expenses of administration. The Company’s investment strategy is designed to provide a total return that, over the long-term, places an emphasis on the preservation of capital for satisfaction of the plan's benefit obligations. The strategy attempts to minimize changes in the plan's funded status and maximize investment returns on assets at a level of risk deemed appropriate by the Company while complying with applicable regulations and laws. The investment strategy utilizes liability hedging and asset diversification as a principal determinant for establishing an appropriate risk profile while emphasizing total return realized from capital appreciation, dividends and interest income. Assets are managed by a combination of internal and external investment managers. Returns on invested assets are periodically compared with target market indices for each asset type to aid management in evaluating such returns. Furthermore, management regularly reviews the investment policy and may, if deemed appropriate, make changes to target investment allocations. The fair values of the Company’s pension plan assets at December 31, 2025 and 2024, by asset category, were as follows:

(a)Target allocations could be more or less than the above general guidelines based on market conditions at the time and actions taken or recommended by the investment managers providing advice to the Company.
(b)No investment in securities of a non-U.S. Government or government agency issuer exceeded ten percent of plan assets at each of December 31, 2025 and 2024.
(c)This category is comprised of equities in companies within the small-cap, mid-cap and large-cap sectors of the U.S. economy and range across diverse industries as well as equities in companies primarily within the mid-cap and large-cap sectors of international markets mainly in developed and emerging markets in Europe and the Pacific Rim.
(d)This category is comprised of investment grade bonds of U.S. issuers from diverse industries, mortgage-backed securities guaranteed by the government agencies and U.S. Treasury securities through individual securities and mutual funds with holdings across industries.
(e)Certain real estate partnerships, private equity, debt and hedge fund investments that were measured at fair value using the net asset value per share (or its equivalent) practical expedient have not been classified in the fair value hierarchy.
The Company makes contributions to its qualified defined benefit pension plan as required by government regulation or as deemed appropriate by management after considering factors such as the fair value of plan assets, expected returns on such assets and the present value of benefit obligations of the plan. The Company is not required to make contributions to the qualified defined benefit plan in 2026, however, subject to the impact of actual events and circumstances that may occur in 2026, the Company may make contributions, but the amount of any such contributions has not been determined. The Company regularly funds the payment of benefit obligations for the supplemental defined benefit pension and postretirement benefit plans because such plans do not hold assets for investment. Payments for supplemental pension and other postretirement benefits for 2026 are not expected to differ from those made in 2025 by an amount that will be material to the Company’s consolidated financial position.
Estimated benefits expected to be paid in future years related to the Company’s defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefits plans are as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| (Dollars in millions) | Pension Benefits | | Other Postretirement Benefits |
| Year ending December 31: | | | |
| 2026 | $ | 128 | | | $ | 4 | |
| 2027 | 130 | | | 4 | |
| 2028 | 133 | | | 4 | |
| 2029 | 134 | | | 4 | |
| 2030 | 135 | | | 4 | |
| 2031 through 2035 | 669 | | | 18 | |
The Company also provides a qualified defined contribution pension plan to eligible employees who were not participants in the defined benefit pension plan as of December 31, 2005 and to other employees who have elected to participate in the defined contribution plan. The Company makes contributions to the defined contribution plan each year in an amount that is based on an individual participant’s total compensation (generally defined as total wages, incentive compensation, commissions and bonuses) and years of service. Company contributions to the plan are discretionary for participants for which eligibility occurred after January 1, 2020. Participants do not contribute to the defined contribution pension plan. Pension expense recorded in 2025, 2024 and 2023 associated with the defined contribution pension plan was $56 million, $62 million and $56 million, respectively.
The Company has a retirement savings plan that is a defined contribution plan in which eligible employees of the Company may defer up to 50% of qualified compensation via contributions to the plan. The retirement savings plan provides for employer matching contributions of 100% of an employee's qualified compensation up to 5%. Employees’ accounts, including employee contributions, employer matching contributions and accumulated earnings thereon, are at all times fully vested and nonforfeitable. Employee benefits expense resulting from the Company’s contributions to the retirement savings plan totaled $107 million, $100 million and $96 million in 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

The Company believes that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized through taxable earnings or alternative tax strategies. Deferred tax assets (liabilities) were comprised of the following at December 31:

(a)In prior years, applicable federal tax law allowed certain financial institutions the option of deducting as bad debt expense for tax purposes amounts in excess of actual losses. In accordance with GAAP, such financial institutions were not required to provide deferred income taxes on such excess. Recapture of the excess tax bad debt reserve established under the previously allowed method will result in taxable income if M&T Bank fails to maintain bank status as defined in the Internal Revenue Code or charges are made to the reserve for other than bad debt losses. At December 31, 2025, M&T Bank’s tax bad debt reserve for which no federal income taxes have been provided was $137 million. No actions are planned that would cause this reserve to become wholly or partially taxable.
A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits follows:

The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits in Income taxes in the Consolidated Statement of Income. The Company’s federal, state and local income tax returns are routinely subject to examinations from various governmental taxing authorities. Such examinations may result in challenges to the tax return treatment applied by the Company to specific transactions. Management believes that the assumptions and judgment used to record tax-related assets or liabilities have been appropriate. Should determinations rendered by tax authorities ultimately indicate that management’s assumptions were inappropriate, the result and adjustments required could have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations. Examinations by the Internal Revenue Service of the Company’s federal income tax returns have been largely concluded through 2024, although under statute the income tax returns from 2021 through 2024 could be adjusted. The Company also files income tax returns in nearly all fifty states and numerous local jurisdictions. Substantially all material state and local matters have been concluded for years through 2018. It is not reasonably possible to estimate when examinations for any subsequent years will be completed.

17.Derivative financial instruments
As part of managing interest rate risk, the Company enters into interest rate swap agreements to modify the repricing characteristics of certain portions of the Company’s portfolios of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. The Company designates interest rate swap agreements utilized in the management of interest rate risk as either fair value hedges or cash flow hedges. Interest rate swap agreements are generally entered into with counterparties that meet established credit standards and most contain master netting, collateral and/or settlement provisions protecting the at-risk party.
Information about interest rate swap agreements entered into for interest rate risk management purposes summarized by type of financial instrument those agreements were intended to hedge follows:

(a)Certain clearinghouse exchanges consider payments by counterparties for variation margin on derivative instruments to be settlements of those positions. The impact of such payments for interest rate swap agreements designated as fair value hedges was a net settlement of losses of $6 million and $153 million at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The impact of such payments on interest rate swap agreements designated as cash flow hedges was a net settlement of gains of $96 million and of losses of $136 million at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
(b)Under the terms of these agreements, the Company receives settlement amounts at a fixed rate and pays at a variable rate.
(c)Under the terms of these agreements, the Company receives settlement amounts at a variable rate and pays at a fixed rate.

The Company utilizes commitments to sell residential and commercial real estate loans to hedge the exposure to changes in fair value of real estate loans held for sale. Such commitments have generally been designated as fair value hedges. The Company also utilizes commitments to sell real estate loans to offset the exposure to changes in the fair value of certain commitments to originate real estate loans for sale. Changes in unrealized gains and losses as a result of such activities are included in Mortgage banking revenues in the Company's Consolidated Statement of Income and, in general, are realized in subsequent periods as the related loans are sold and commitments satisfied.
As described in note 6, effective January 1, 2026 the Company elected to prospectively measure its residential mortgage loan servicing right assets at fair value. In preparation for this election, on December 31, 2025 the Company began economically hedging the risk of fair value changes in those residential mortgage loan servicing right assets through the use of various interest rate derivative contracts with a total notional value of $1.6 billion.
Other derivative financial instruments not designated as hedging instruments included interest rate contracts, foreign exchange and other option and futures contracts. Interest rate contracts not designated as hedging instruments had notional values of $43.0 billion and $40.5 billion at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The notional amounts of foreign currency and other option and futures contracts not designated as hedging instruments aggregated $2.4 billion and $1.6 billion at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

The net effect of interest rate swap agreements was to decrease net interest income by $154 million in 2025, $414 million in 2024 and $302 million in 2023. The amount of interest income recognized in the Company's Consolidated Statement of Income associated with derivatives designated as cash flow hedges was a decrease of $115 million for 2025, $364 million for 2024 and $250 million for 2023. As of December 31, 2025, the unrealized gain recognized in other comprehensive income related to cash flow hedges was $90 million, of which gains of $12 million, $54 million and $24 million relate to interest rate swap agreements maturing in 2026, 2027 and 2028, respectively.
The Company predominantly clears non-customer derivative transactions through a clearinghouse, rather than directly with counterparties. The transactions cleared through a clearinghouse require initial margin collateral and variation margin payments depending on the contracts being in a net asset or liability position. The amount of initial margin collateral posted by the Company was $224 million and $257 million at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The fair value asset and liability amounts of derivative contracts have been reduced by variation margin payments treated as settlements as described herein. Variation margin on derivative contracts not treated as settlements continues to represent collateral posted or received by the Company.
The Company does not offset derivative asset and liability positions in its consolidated financial statements. The Company’s exposure to credit risk by entering into derivative contracts is mitigated through master netting agreements and collateral posting or settlement requirements. Master netting agreements covering interest rate and foreign exchange contracts with the same party include a right to set-off that becomes enforceable in the event of default, early termination or under other specific conditions. Interest rate swap agreements entered into with customers are subject to the Company’s credit risk standards and may contain illiquid cross-collateral provisions with customer credit facilities.

18.Variable interest entities and asset securitizations
The Company’s securitization activities include securitizing loans originated for sale into government-issued or guaranteed mortgage-backed securities. Additionally, M&T Bank and its subsidiaries have issued asset-backed notes secured by either equipment finance loans and leases or by automobile loans. Those loans and leases were sold into special purpose trusts which in turn issued asset-backed notes to investors. The loans and leases continue to be serviced by the Company. The senior-most notes in those securitizations were purchased by third parties whereas the residual interests of the trusts were retained by the Company. As a result of the retention of the residual interests and its continued role as servicer of the loans and leases, the Company is considered to be the primary beneficiary of the securitization trusts and, accordingly, the trusts have been included in the Company's consolidated financial statements. Assets held in each special purpose trust may only be used to settle the respective obligations of the asset-backed notes issued by that trust and the holders of the asset-backed notes have no recourse to the Company. The outstanding balances of those asset-backed notes issued to third party investors are included in Long-term borrowings in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Information about the asset-backed notes issued to investors and the respective special purpose trust at December 31, 2025 and 2024 are included in the following table:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

As also described in note 8, M&T has issued Junior Subordinated Debentures payable to various trusts that have issued Preferred Capital Securities and Common Securities. M&T owns the Common Securities of those trust entities. The Company is not considered to be the primary beneficiary of those entities and, accordingly, the trusts are not included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. At each of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company included the Junior Subordinated Debentures as Long-term borrowings in the Consolidated Balance Sheet and recognized $16 million and $17 million, respectively, in Accrued interest and other assets for its "investment" in the Common Securities of the trusts that will be concomitantly repaid to M&T by the respective trust from the proceeds of M&T’s repayment of the Junior Subordinated Debentures associated with the Preferred Capital Securities.
The Company has invested as a limited partner in various partnerships that collectively had total assets of approximately $10.7 billion and $10.5 billion at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Those partnerships generally construct or acquire properties, including properties and facilities that produce renewable energy, for which the investing partners are eligible to receive certain federal income tax credits in accordance with government guidelines. Such investments may also provide tax deductible losses to the partners. The partnership investments also assist the Company in achieving its community reinvestment initiatives. The Company, in its position as a limited partner, does not direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the partnerships and, therefore, the partnership entities are not included in the Company's consolidated financial statements. Information on the Company's carrying amount of its investments in tax equity partnerships and its related future funding commitments are presented in the following table:

(b)Included in Accrued interest and other liabilities in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet.
The reduction to income tax expense recognized from the Company's investments in partnerships accounted for using the proportional amortization method was $36 million (net of $186 million of investment amortization), $38 million (net of $181 million of investment amortization) and $26 million (net of $167 million of investment amortization) in 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The net reduction to income tax expense has been reported in Net change in other accrued income and expense in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. While the Company has elected to apply the proportional amortization method for renewable energy credit investments, at December 31, 2025 no such investments met the eligibility criteria for application of that method. The reduction to income tax expense recognized from renewable energy credit investments was $28 million, $34 million and $33 million in 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. As a limited partner, there is no recourse to the Company by creditors of the partnerships. However, the tax credits that result from the Company’s investments in such partnerships are generally subject to recapture should a partnership fail to comply with the respective government regulations. The Company has not provided financial or other support to the partnerships that was not contractually required. Although the Company currently estimates that no material losses are probable, its maximum exposure to loss from its investments in such partnerships as of December 31, 2025 was $2.3 billion, including possible recapture of certain tax credits.
The Company serves as investment advisor for certain registered money-market funds. The Company has no explicit arrangement to provide support to those funds, but may waive portions of its allowable management fees as a result of market conditions.
19.Fair value measurements
GAAP permits an entity to choose to measure eligible financial instruments and other items at fair value. The Company has not made any fair value elections at December 31, 2025. Effective January 1, 2026 the Company has elected to account for its residential mortgage loan servicing right assets at fair value. Further information about this election is included in note 6.
Pursuant to GAAP, fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A three-level hierarchy exists in GAAP for fair value measurements based upon the inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability.
•Level 1 — Valuation is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
•Level 2 — Valuation is determined from quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active or by model-based techniques in which all significant inputs are observable in the market.
•Level 3 — Valuation is derived from model-based and other techniques in which at least one significant input is unobservable and which may be based on the Company’s own estimates about the assumptions that market participants would use to value the asset or liability.
When available, the Company attempts to use quoted market prices in active markets to determine fair value and classifies such items as Level 1 or Level 2. If quoted market prices in active markets are not available, fair value is often determined using model-based techniques incorporating various assumptions including interest rates, prepayment speeds and credit losses. Assets and liabilities valued using model-based techniques are classified as either Level 2 or Level 3, depending on the lowest level classification of an input that is considered significant to the overall valuation. The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured on a recurring basis at fair value.
Trading account
Mutual funds held in connection with deferred compensation and other arrangements generally have been classified as Level 1 valuations. Valuations of investments in debt securities can generally be obtained through reference to quoted prices in less active markets for the same or similar securities or through model-based techniques in which all significant inputs are observable and, therefore, such valuations have been classified as Level 2.
Available-for-sale investment securities and equity securities
Available-for-sale investment securities have generally been valued by reference to prices for similar securities or through model-based techniques in which the significant inputs are observable and, therefore, such valuations have been classified as Level 2. Generally investments in mutual funds and equity securities are actively traded and, therefore, have been classified as Level 1 valuations.
Real estate loans held for sale
The Company utilizes commitments to sell real estate loans to hedge the exposure to changes in fair value of real estate loans held for sale. The carrying value of hedged real estate loans held for sale includes changes in estimated fair value during the hedge period. Typically, the Company attempts to hedge real estate loans held for sale from the date of close through the sale date. The fair value of hedged real estate loans held for sale is generally calculated by reference to quoted prices in secondary markets for commitments to sell real estate loans with similar characteristics and, accordingly, such loans have been classified as a Level 2 valuation.
Commitments to originate real estate loans for sale and commitments to sell real estate loans
The Company enters into various commitments to originate real estate loans for sale and commitments to sell real estate loans. Such commitments are accounted for as derivative financial instruments and, therefore, are carried at fair value in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The fair values of such commitments were generally calculated by reference to quoted prices in secondary markets for commitments to sell real estate loans to certain government-sponsored entities and other parties. The fair valuations of commitments to sell real estate loans generally result in a Level 2 classification. The fair value of commitments to originate real estate loans for sale is adjusted to reflect the Company’s anticipated commitment expirations. The estimated commitment expirations are considered significant unobservable inputs contributing to the Level 3 classification of commitments to originate real estate loans for sale.
Interest rate swap agreements used for interest rate risk management
The Company utilizes interest rate swap agreements as part of the management of interest rate risk to modify the repricing characteristics of certain portions of its portfolios of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. The Company generally determines the fair value of its interest rate swap agreements using externally developed pricing models based on market observable inputs and, therefore, classifies such valuations as Level 2. The Company has considered counterparty credit risk in the valuation of its interest rate swap agreement assets and has considered its own credit risk in the valuation of its interest rate swap agreement liabilities.
Other non-hedging derivatives
Other non-hedging derivatives consist primarily of interest rate contracts and foreign exchange contracts with customers who require such services and offsetting positions with third parties to minimize the Company's risk with respect to such transactions. The Company generally determines the fair value of other non-hedging derivative assets and liabilities using externally developed pricing models based on market observable inputs and, therefore, classifies such valuations as Level 2.
The following tables present assets and liabilities at December 31, 2025 and 2024 measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

__________________________________________________________________________________
(a)Significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of commitments to originate real estate loans held for sale included weighted-average commitment expirations of 27% at December 31, 2025 and 6% at December 31, 2024. An increase (decrease) in the estimate of expirations for commitments to originate real estate loans would generally result in a lower (higher) fair value measurement. Estimated commitment expirations are derived considering loan type, changes in interest rates and remaining length of time until closing.
(b)Comprised predominantly of interest rate swap agreements used for interest rate risk management (Level 2), interest rate and foreign exchange contracts not designated as hedging instruments (Level 2), commitments to sell real estate loans (Level 2) and commitments to originate real estate loans to be held for sale (Level 2 and Level 3).
The Company is required, on a nonrecurring basis, to adjust the carrying value of certain assets or provide valuation allowances related to certain assets using fair value measurements. The more significant of those assets follow.
Loans
Loans are generally not recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Periodically, the Company records nonrecurring adjustments to the carrying value of loans based on fair value measurements for partial charge-offs of the uncollectable portions of those loans. Nonrecurring adjustments also include certain impairment amounts for collateral-dependent loans when establishing the allowance for loan losses. Such amounts are generally based on the fair value of the underlying collateral supporting the loan and, as a result, the carrying value of the loan less the calculated valuation amount does not necessarily represent the fair value of the loan. Real estate collateral is typically valued using appraisals or other indications of value based on recent comparable sales of similar properties or assumptions generally observable in the marketplace and the related nonrecurring fair value measurement adjustments have generally been classified as Level 2, unless significant adjustments have been made to the valuation that are not readily observable by market participants. Non-real estate collateral supporting commercial and industrial loans generally consists of business assets such as receivables, inventory and equipment. Fair value estimations are typically determined by discounting recorded values of those assets to reflect estimated net realizable value considering specific borrower facts and circumstances and the experience of credit personnel in their dealings with similar borrower collateral liquidations. Such discounts were generally in the range of 10% to 90% with a weighted-average of 47% at December 31, 2025. As these discounts are not readily observable and are considered significant, the valuations have been classified as Level 3. Automobile and recreational vehicle collateral is typically valued by reference to independent pricing sources based on recent sales transactions of similar vehicles and the related nonrecurring fair value measurement adjustments have been classified as Level 2.
The following table summarizes loans subject to nonrecurring fair value measurement at December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023:

| Changes in fair value recognized for the year ended | $ | (176) | | | $ | (287) | | | $ | (381) | |
Assets taken in foreclosure of defaulted loans
Assets taken in foreclosure of defaulted loans are generally comprised of real estate and other assets and are measured at the lower of cost or fair value less costs to sell. The fair value of real estate is generally determined using appraisals or other indications of value based on recent comparable sales of similar properties or assumptions observable in the marketplace and the related nonrecurring fair value measurement adjustments have generally been considered Level 2 valuations. Assets taken in foreclosure of defaulted loans subject to nonrecurring fair value measurement were not material at each of December 31, 2025 and 2024. Changes in fair value recognized during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 for foreclosed assets held by the Company at the end of each of those years were not material.
Capitalized servicing rights
Capitalized servicing rights are initially measured at fair value in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company utilizes the amortization method to subsequently measure its capitalized servicing assets. In accordance with GAAP, the Company must record impairment charges, on a nonrecurring basis, when the carrying value of certain strata exceed their fair value. To estimate the fair value of servicing rights, the Company considers market prices for similar assets, if available, and the present value of expected future cash flows associated with the servicing rights calculated using assumptions that market participants would use in estimating future servicing income and expense. Such assumptions include estimates of the cost of servicing loans, loan default rates, an appropriate discount rate and prepayment speeds. For purposes of evaluating and measuring impairment of capitalized servicing rights, the Company stratifies such assets based on the predominant risk characteristics of the underlying financial instruments that are expected to have the most impact on projected prepayments, cost of servicing and other factors affecting future cash flows associated with the servicing rights. Such factors may include financial asset or loan type, note rate and term. The amount of impairment recognized is the amount by which the carrying value of the capitalized servicing rights for a stratum exceed estimated fair value. Impairment is recognized through a valuation allowance. The determination of fair value of capitalized servicing rights is considered a Level 3 valuation. Capitalized servicing rights related to mortgage loans required no valuation allowance at each of December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023.
Disclosures of fair value of financial instruments

(a)Includes $2.8 billion of time deposits with balances greater than $250,000 at each of December 31, 2025 and 2024.
With the exception of investment securities and mortgage loans originated for sale, the Company’s financial instruments presented in the preceding tables are not readily marketable and market prices do not exist. The Company has not attempted to market its financial instruments to potential buyers, if any exist. Since negotiated prices in illiquid markets depend greatly upon the then present motivations of the buyer and seller, it is reasonable to assume that actual sales prices could vary widely from any estimate of fair value made without the benefit of negotiations. Additionally, changes in market interest rates can dramatically impact the value of financial instruments in a short period of time. Furthermore, because the disclosed fair value amounts were estimated as of the balance sheet date, the amounts actually realized or paid upon maturity or settlement of the various financial instruments could be significantly different.
20.Commitments and contingencies
In the normal course of business, various commitments and contingent liabilities are outstanding. The following table presents the Company’s significant credit-related commitments. Certain of these commitments are not included in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet.
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| (Dollars in millions) | December 31, 2025 | | December 31, 2024 |
| Commitments to extend credit: | | | |
| Commercial and industrial | $ | 35,654 | | | $ | 31,521 | |
| Commercial real estate loans to be sold | 773 | | | 479 | |
| Other commercial real estate | 2,331 | | | 2,697 | |
| Residential real estate loans to be sold | 224 | | | 190 | |
| Other residential real estate | 679 | | | 517 | |
| Home equity lines of credit | 7,974 | | | 7,933 | |
| Credit cards | 6,601 | | | 6,087 | |
| Other | 444 | | | 244 | |
| Standby letters of credit | 2,318 | | | 2,260 | |
| Commercial letters of credit | 72 | | | 58 | |
| Financial guarantees and indemnification contracts | 4,751 | | | 4,335 | |
| Commitments to sell real estate loans | 1,898 | | | 1,142 | |
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to customers and generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses that may require payment of a fee. In addition to the amounts presented in the preceding table, the Company had discretionary funding commitments to commercial customers of $12.9 billion and $12.7 billion at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, that the Company had the unconditional right to cancel prior to funding. Standby and commercial letters of credit are conditional commitments issued to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Standby letters of credit generally are contingent upon the failure of the customer to perform according to the terms of the underlying contract with the third party, whereas commercial letters of credit are issued to facilitate commerce and typically result in the commitment being funded when the underlying transaction is consummated between the customer and a third party. The credit risk associated with commitments to extend credit and standby and commercial letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved with extending loans to customers and is subject to normal credit policies. Collateral may be obtained based on management’s assessment of the customer’s creditworthiness.
Financial guarantees and indemnification contracts are predominantly comprised of recourse obligations associated with sold loans and other guarantees and commitments. Included in financial guarantees and indemnification contracts are loan principal amounts sold with recourse in conjunction with the Company’s involvement in the Fannie Mae DUS program. The Company’s contractual credit risk for recourse associated with loans sold under this program totaled approximately $4.6 billion and $4.2 billion at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Since many loan commitments, standby letters of credit, and guarantees and indemnification contracts expire without being funded in whole or in part, the contract amounts are not necessarily indicative of future cash flows. As disclosed in note 4, the Company maintains a reserve for unfunded credit commitments, which is included in Accrued interest and other liabilities in its Consolidated Balance Sheet, for estimated credit losses related to such contracts.
The Company utilizes commitments to sell real estate loans to hedge exposure to changes in the fair value of real estate loans held for sale. Such commitments are accounted for as derivatives and along with commitments to originate real estate loans to be held for sale are recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheet at fair value.
The Company is contractually obligated to repurchase previously sold residential real estate loans that do not ultimately meet investor sale criteria related to underwriting procedures or loan documentation. When required to do so, the Company may reimburse loan purchasers for losses incurred or may repurchase certain loans. The Company reduces residential mortgage banking revenues by an estimate for losses related to its obligations to loan purchasers. The amount of those charges is based on the volume of loans sold, the level of reimbursement requests received from loan purchasers and estimates of losses that may be associated with previously sold loans. At December 31, 2025, the Company believes that its obligation to loan purchasers was not material to the Company’s consolidated financial position.
In 2023, the FDIC issued a final rule on special assessment pursuant to systemic risk determination resulting from the closures of certain failed banks. As a result of the rule and subsequent changes to the estimated special assessment, the Company has recorded a reduction of expense of $37 million in 2025 and expense of $34 million and $197 million in 2024 and 2023, respectively, in its results of operations. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded a liability related to the FDIC special assessment of $22 million and $157 million, respectively. Such amounts are classified as Accrued interest and other liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The FDIC has indicated that the amount of the special assessment may be adjusted in the future should its loss estimates change.
Legal proceedings and other matters
M&T and its subsidiaries are subject in the normal course of business to various pending and threatened legal proceedings and other matters in which claims for monetary damages are asserted. On an on-going basis management, after consultation with legal counsel, assesses the Company’s liabilities and contingencies in connection with such proceedings. For those matters where it is probable that the Company will incur losses and the amounts of the losses can be reasonably estimated, the Company records an expense and corresponding liability in its consolidated financial statements. It is reasonably possible that pending or threatened litigation could result in exposure in excess of that liability. Although not considered probable, the reasonably possible losses for such matters beyond the existing recorded liability is not likely to exceed $25 million in the aggregate at December 31, 2025. That estimate is subject to significant judgment based on currently available information and various assumptions about known and unknown uncertainties. That estimate does not represent the Company’s maximum loss exposure and actual losses may vary significantly from that amount.
For the following matter the Company does not believe an estimate of loss can be made at the date of this filing and, therefore, has not included any amount related thereto in its consolidated financial statements or in the estimate of aggregate reasonably possible losses provided in the preceding paragraph.
Wilmington Trust, N.A.
On September 10, 2025, Tricolor Holdings, LLC, a subprime automobile lender and used vehicle retailer which packaged loans into asset-backed securitizations, filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy seeking to liquidate its business. Certain financial institutions reported credit impairments in the third quarter of 2025 related to alleged fraudulent activity with respect to Tricolor Holdings, LLC asset-backed financing arrangements. On December 17, 2025 the DOJ unsealed criminal charges against certain executives of Tricolor Holdings, LLC, alleging, among other things, that the executives conspired to defraud and defrauded certain lenders and asset-backed securities investors of Tricolor
Holdings, LLC and its affiliates. The Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Trustee for Tricolor Holdings, LLC has alleged that certain individuals at Tricolor Holdings, LLC caused Tricolor Holdings, LLC's records to contain approximately $683 million of fictitious loans and has initiated a legal action against those same executives who were criminally charged by the DOJ. Neither Wilmington Trust, N.A. nor M&T Bank have any loans or loan commitments outstanding to Tricolor Holdings, LLC.
Wilmington Trust, N.A. has served in certain corporate custodian and trust capacities for multiple Tricolor Holdings, LLC warehouse facilities and asset-backed securitization transactions since 2018. Such capacities varied from transaction to transaction and were generally service provider roles performed under the relevant transaction documents.
On January 12, 2026, certain note holders filed a civil complaint against Wilmington Trust, N.A. for an unspecified amount of damages arising from alleged breaches of contract and fiduciary duty related to certain Tricolor Holdings, LLC asset-backed securitization transactions. Wilmington Trust, N.A. intends to vigorously defend itself against this legal action. The facts and circumstances of the Tricolor Holdings, LLC bankruptcy and its alleged fraudulent activities as well as the extent of damages, if any, incurred by parties participating in the warehouse facilities and asset-backed securitization transactions are still being learned. The Company believes it may incur losses as a result of this litigation or other potential claims that may arise as a result of these events, but at the current time it is not possible to estimate any potential legal or other liability of Wilmington Trust, N.A. as a result of its capacities in the warehouse facilities and asset-backed securitization transactions. Such losses, if any, are currently not expected to be material to the Company’s financial position at December 31, 2025.
21.Segment information
Reportable segments have been determined based upon the Company’s organizational structure which is primarily arranged around the delivery of products and services to similar customer types. The Company's internal profitability reporting system produces financial information, inclusive of net interest income and income before taxes, for each segment. Such information is reviewed by the Company's Chief Executive Officer, who has been identified as the chief operating decision maker, in evaluating operating decisions, business performance and the allocation of resources. The Company's reportable segments are Commercial Bank, Retail Bank and Institutional Services and Wealth Management.
The financial information of the Company’s segments was compiled utilizing the accounting policies described in note 1 with certain exceptions. The more significant of these exceptions are described herein. The Company allocates interest income or interest expense using a methodology that charges users of funds (assets) interest expense and credits providers of funds (liabilities) with income based on the maturity, prepayment and/or repricing characteristics of the assets and liabilities. A provision for credit losses is allocated to segments in an amount based largely on actual net charge-offs incurred by the segment during the period plus or minus an amount necessary to adjust the segment’s allowance for loan losses due to changes in loan balances. In contrast, the level of the consolidated provision for credit losses is determined using the methodologies described in notes 1 and 4. The net effects of these allocations are recorded in the "All Other" category. Fixed and variable expenses incurred by certain centralized support areas are indirectly allocated to segments based on estimated usage (for example, volume measurements) and other criteria. Centrally-allocated costs primarily relate to enterprise-wide support functions including certain technology, operations, risk management, finance and human resources expenses. Certain types of administrative expenses and bankwide expense accruals (including amortization of core deposit and other intangible assets associated with acquisitions of financial institutions) are generally not allocated to segments. Income taxes are allocated to segments based on the Company’s marginal statutory tax rate adjusted for any tax-exempt income or non-deductible expenses. Equity is allocated to the segments based on capital
requirements and in proportion to an assessment of the inherent risks associated with the business of the segment. The management accounting policies and processes utilized in compiling segment financial information are highly subjective and, unlike financial accounting, are not based on authoritative guidance similar to GAAP. As a result, reported segment results are not necessarily comparable with similar information reported by other financial institutions. Furthermore, changes in management structure or allocation methodologies and procedures may result in changes in reported segment financial data.
Information about the Company’s segments is presented in the accompanying table.

__________________________________________________________________________________
(a)Net interest income is the difference between actual taxable-equivalent interest earned on assets and interest paid on liabilities by a segment and a funding charge (credit) based on the Company’s internal funds transfer pricing methodology. Segments are charged a cost to fund any assets (e.g. loans) and are paid a funding credit for any funds provided (e.g. deposits). The taxable-equivalent adjustment aggregated $44 million in 2025, $50 million in 2024 and $54 million in 2023 and is eliminated in "All Other" net interest income and income tax expense (benefit).
(b)Indirect expense represents centrally-allocated costs associated with certain technology, operations, risk management, finance and human resources expenses provided by the "All Other" category to the Commercial Bank, Retail Bank and Institutional Services and Wealth Management segments.
(c)Intersegment revenues and expenses were not material for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023.
The Commercial Bank segment provides a wide range of credit products and banking services to middle-market and large commercial customers, mainly within the markets served by the Company. Services provided by this segment include commercial lending and leasing, credit facilities which are secured by various types of commercial real estate, letters of credit, deposit products and cash management services. Commercial real estate loans may be secured by multifamily residential buildings, hotels, office, retail and industrial space or other types of collateral. Activities of this segment include the origination, sales and servicing of commercial real estate loans through the Fannie Mae DUS program and other programs. Commercial real estate loans held for sale are included in this segment.
The Retail Bank segment provides a wide range of services to consumers and small businesses through the Company’s branch network and several other delivery channels such as digital banking, telephone banking and ATMs. The Company has domestic banking offices primarily in the Northeastern and Mid-Atlantic regions of the U.S. including the District of Columbia. The segment offers to its customers deposit products, including demand, savings and time accounts, and other services. Credit services offered by this segment include automobile and recreational finance loans (primarily originated indirectly through dealers), home equity loans and lines of credit, credit cards and other loan products. This segment also originates and services residential mortgage loans and either sells those loans in the secondary market to investors or retains them for investment purposes. Residential mortgage loans are also originated and serviced on behalf of the Institutional Services and Wealth Management segment. The Company periodically purchases the rights to service residential real estate loans that have been originated by other entities and also sub-services residential real estate loans for others. Residential real estate loans held for sale are included in this segment. This segment also provides various business loans, including loans guaranteed by the Small Business Administration, business credit cards, deposit products and services such as cash management, payroll and direct deposit, merchant credit card and letters of credits to small businesses and professionals through the Company's branch network and other delivery channels.
The Institutional Services and Wealth Management segment provides a variety of trustee, agency, investment management and administrative services for corporations and institutions, investment bankers, corporate tax, finance and legal executives, and other institutional clients, as well as personal trust, planning and advisory, fiduciary, asset management, family office, and other services designed to help high net worth individuals and families grow, preserve and transfer wealth. This segment also provides investment products, including mutual funds and annuities and other services to customers.
The "All Other" category reflects other activities of the Company that are not directly attributable to the reported segments. Reflected in this category are the difference between the provision for credit losses and the calculated provision allocated to the reportable segments; goodwill and core deposit and other intangible assets resulting from the acquisitions of financial institutions; merger-related gains and expenses related to acquisitions; the net impact of the Company’s internal funds transfer pricing methodology; eliminations of transactions between reportable segments; certain non-recurring transactions; and the residual effects of unallocated support systems and general and administrative expenses. The Company’s investment securities portfolio, certain brokered deposits and short-term and long-term borrowings are generally included in the "All Other" category. In its management of interest rate risk, the Company utilizes interest rate swap agreements to modify the repricing characteristics of certain portfolios of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. The results of such activities are captured in the "All Other" category.
There are no transactions with a single customer that in the aggregate result in revenues that exceed ten percent of consolidated total revenues.
22.Regulatory matters
Payment of dividends by M&T’s banking subsidiaries is restricted by various legal and regulatory limitations. Dividends from any banking subsidiary to M&T are limited by the amount of earnings of the banking subsidiary in the current year and the preceding two years. For purposes of this test, at December 31, 2025, approximately $2.58 billion was available for payment of dividends to M&T from banking subsidiaries.
Banking regulations prohibit extensions of credit by the subsidiary banks to M&T unless appropriately secured by assets. Securities of affiliates are not eligible as collateral for this purpose.
M&T and its subsidiary banks are required to comply with applicable Capital Rules. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can result in certain mandatory, and possibly additional discretionary, actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements. Pursuant to the rules in effect as of December 31, 2025, the required minimum and well capitalized capital ratios are as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| M&T (Consolidated) | | Bank Subsidiaries |
| Minimum | | Well Capitalized | | Minimum | | Well Capitalized |
| | | | | | | |
| CET1 capital to RWA | 4.5 | % | | | | 4.5 | % | | 6.5 | % |
| Tier 1 capital to RWA | 6.0 | | | 6.0 | % | | 6.0 | | | 8.0 | |
| Total capital to RWA | 8.0 | | | 10.0 | | | 8.0 | | | 10.0 | |
| Leverage — Tier 1 capital to average total assets, as defined | 4.0 | | | | | 4.0 | | | 5.0 | |
Capital regulations require buffers in addition to the minimum risk-based capital ratios noted above. M&T is subject to a SCB requirement that is determined through the Federal Reserve’s supervisory stress tests and M&T’s bank subsidiaries are subject to a 2.5% capital conservation buffer requirement. The buffer requirement must be composed entirely of CET1 capital. In June 2025, the Federal Reserve released the results of its most recent supervisory stress tests. Based on those results on October 1, 2025, M&T's SCB of 2.7% became effective. Accordingly, at December 31, 2025 M&T is subject to a CET1 capital requirement of 7.2% (a sum of the SCB and the minimum CET1 capital ratio).
The capital ratios and amounts of the Company and its banking subsidiaries as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 are presented below:

23.Relationship with BLG and Bayview Financial
M&T holds a 20% minority interest in BLG, a privately-held commercial mortgage company. That investment had no remaining carrying value at December 31, 2025 as a result of cumulative losses recognized and cash distributions received in prior years. Cash distributions now received from BLG are recognized as income by M&T and included in Other revenues from operations in the Consolidated Statement of Income. That income totaled $20 million in 2025, $48 million in 2024 and $20 million in 2023.
