Reworded paragraphs (104)

Previous wording

In conjunction with the implementation of a new general ledger platform during the second quarter of 2026, the Company modified its methodology for calculating annualized taxable-equivalent rates for certain earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, including certain average deposit balances. Previously reported amounts have been adjusted to conform to the current presentation.

Current wording

As reported on M&T's Form 8-K dated September 28, 2026, effective for the third quarter of 2026 M&T made certain changes and reclassifications to other income categories presented in its Consolidated Statement of Income. Also effective for the third quarter of 2026, M&T began separately presenting loans held for sale from loans held for investment in its Consolidated Balance Sheet and its Average Balance Sheet and Annualized Taxable-equivalent Rates disclosures. Accordingly, annualized taxable-equivalent rates for each impacted loan category and certain loan-based credit quality ratios exclude loans held for sale. Additionally, as reported in M&T's Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, in conjunction with the implementation of a new general ledger platform during the second quarter of 2026, the Company modified its methodology for calculating annualized taxable-equivalent rates for certain earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, including certain average deposit balances. All periods presented herein reflect those changes.

Previous wording

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 reflected in mortgage banking revenues. As a result, amortization associated with residential mortgage loan servicing right assets previously recognized in other costs of operations is no longer recorded. Instead, beginning in 2026, fair value changes in the mortgage loan servicing right assets, inclusive of the realization of expected net servicing revenues over time, are included in mortgage banking revenues. On December 31, 2025, the Company began economically hedging the risk of fair value changes in these assets through the use of various interest rate and other derivative contracts, for which changes in fair value are also reflected in mortgage banking revenues. As a result of the Company's election on January 1, 2026 to prospectively measure residential mortgage loan servicing right assets at fair value, the Company recorded an increase in capitalized servicing assets included in accrued interest and other assets of $263 million and a corresponding after-tax increase to retained earnings of $197 million, representing an 8 basis-point increase to the CET1 capital ratio on the election date.

Previous wording

•Net interest income on a taxable-equivalent basis increased $41 million reflecting an additional calendar day in the recent quarter, higher interest income on nonaccrual loans and growth in average earning assets. The Company's net interest margin was unchanged.

Current wording

•Net interest income on a taxable-equivalent basis increased nominally reflecting an additional day, partially offset by lower interest income on nonaccrual loans. The Company's net interest margin declined 5 basis points from the second quarter of 2026 as the increase in rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities outpaced the growth in yields on earning assets.

Previous wording

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 75 basis points in the last four months of 2025 and maintained its target through the second quarter of 2026.

Current wording

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 raised its federal funds target interest rate by 25 basis points in September 2026. The FOMC lowered its federal funds target interest rate by a total of 75 basis points in the last four months of 2025 and then maintained its target interest rate until that aforementioned increase.

Previous wording

Taxable-equivalent net interest income increased $41 million in the recent quarter as compared with the first quarter of 2026 reflective of an additional calendar day in the recent quarter, an increase in interest income on nonaccrual loans and higher average earning assets. The net interest margin remained unchanged at 3.70% reflecting a 5 basis-point increase in yields received on earning assets offset by a 4 basis-point increase in rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities and a 1 basis-point decrease in the contribution of interest-free funds.

Current wording

Taxable-equivalent net interest income increased nominally in the recent quarter as compared with the second quarter of 2026 reflective of an additional day, lower interest income on nonaccrual loans and loan growth that was funded by interest-bearing deposits as the Company reduced its average short-term borrowings. The net interest margin declined to 3.65% reflecting an 8 basis-point increase in rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities resulting from the growth and mix of deposits and the FOMC action in September, partially offset by a 1 basis-point increase in yields received on earning assets and a 2 basis-point increase in the contribution of net interest-free funds.

Previous wording

Taxable-equivalent net interest income for the first six months of 2026 increased $138 million as compared with the same 2025 period. That increase reflects a 6 basis-point widening of the net interest margin driven by a 35 basis-point decrease in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities, partially offset by a 13 basis-point decline in yields received on earning assets. Contributing to those changes was the aforementioned FOMC interest rate reductions in 2025. The yields received on earning assets in the first six months of 2026 reflect a comparatively favorable impact from interest rate swap agreements entered into for interest rate risk 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 the yields received on investment securities from the deployment of liquidity into fixed rate investment securities throughout 2025 and the first six months of 2026 that yielded higher rates than investment securities that matured or were sold. The 22 basis-point increase in net interest spread was partially offset by a 16 basis-point reduction in the contribution of interest-free funds, reflecting a lower rate environment.

Current wording

Taxable-equivalent net interest income for the first nine months of 2026 increased $170 million as compared with the same 2025 period. That increase reflects higher earning assets and a 3 basis-point widening of the net interest margin to 3.68% driven by a 33 basis-point decrease in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities, partially offset by a 15 basis-point decline in each of the yields received on earning assets and the contribution from net interest-free funds. The aforementioned FOMC interest rate reductions in 2025 contributed to those changes. The yields received on earning assets in the first nine months of 2026 reflect a comparatively favorable impact from interest rate swap agreements entered into for interest rate risk 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 the yields received on investment securities from the deployment of liquidity into fixed rate investment securities throughout 2025 and the first nine months of 2026 that yielded higher rates than investment securities that matured or were sold.

Current wording

•Average commercial real estate loans declined $1.1 billion reflecting various strategies the Company executed to reduce its relative concentration of such loans designated as criticized, partially offset by increased originations in 2026. Average commercial real estate construction loans decreased $1.5 billion, partially offset by an increase of $429 million in average permanent commercial real estate loans.

Previous wording

The Company's investment securities portfolio is primarily 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.

Previous wording

The investment securities portfolio averaged $38.7 billion in the second quarter of 2026, up $883 million from the first quarter of 2026, and $38.3 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2026, an increase of $3.4 billion from the similar 2025 period. Those increases reflect the Company's deployment of liquidity into primarily fixed-rate mortgage-backed investment securities classified as available for sale. In the first quarter of 2026 the Company sold $2.5 billion of U.S. Treasury securities, all of which had maturity dates in 2026. There were no significant sales of debt investment securities in the second quarter of 2026. As a result of the purchases of higher-yielding securities and sales, paydowns and maturities of lower-yielding securities, the weighted-average current yield for total investment securities available for sale increased to 4.73% and 4.71% at June 30, 2026 and March 31, 2026, respectively, from 4.50% at June 30, 2025. The weighted-average duration of that portfolio was 3.1 years at each of June 30, 2026 and March 31, 2026 as compared with 2.6 years at June 30, 2025. The increase in the weighted-average duration from June 30, 2025 reflects the sale of U.S. Treasury securities near maturity and purchase of fixed-rate mortgage-backed investment securities with longer maturity dates. In July 2026, the Company transferred $8.3 billion of residential mortgage-backed securities from the available-for-sale portfolio to the held-to-maturity portfolio with gross unrealized gains of $32 million and gross unrealized losses of $24 million at the time of transfer. 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.

Current wording

The investment securities portfolio averaged $38.6 billion in the third quarter of 2026, a modest decline from the second quarter of 2026. Investment securities averaged $38.4 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, an increase of $2.9 billion from the similar 2025 period. That increase reflects the Company's deployment of liquidity into predominantly fixed-rate mortgage-backed investment securities. In the first quarter of 2026 the Company sold $2.5 billion of U.S. Treasury securities, all of which had maturity dates in 2026. There were no significant sales of debt investment securities in the second or third quarters of 2026 or the first three quarters of 2025. The weighted-average current yield for total investment securities available for sale was 4.48% at September 30, 2026, compared with 4.73% at June 30, 2026 and 4.65% at September 30, 2025. The weighted-average duration of that portfolio was 3.6 years and 3.1 years at September 30, 2026 and June 30, 2026, respectively, compared with 2.5 years at September 30, 2025.

Previous wording

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. Targeted 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 the recent quarter, the Company continued to monitor commercial borrowers in certain industry sectors that may be affected by higher energy and transportation costs, international trade policy changes, such as tariffs, including retail and wholesale trade, manufacturing, packaging and engineering companies. The Company has considered the information gathered in such reviews in the assignment of loan grades.

Previous wording

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 recent quarters. 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.
