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. Prior to the sale, the CIT business contributed $60 million to trust income in 2023. After considering expenses, the results of operations from the CIT business were not material to the Company's consolidated results of operations in that year. In September 2025, the Company received a final earnout payment of $28 million related to the sale of its CIT business in 2023. That distribution has been included in Other revenues from operations in the Consolidated Statement of Income for the year ended December 31, 2025.

In May 2025, the Company sold Wilmington Trust SP Services Inc., a subsidiary that specialized in institutional services, to a third party. The transaction resulted in a gain of $10 million that has been included in Other revenues from operations in the Consolidated Statement of Income for the year ended December 31, 2025. The revenues and expenses of that subsidiary were not material to the Company's consolidated results of operations for each of 2023, 2024 and 2025.

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.

Modified loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty are subject to the allowance for loan losses methodology described herein, including the use of models to inform credit loss estimates and, to the extent larger balance commercial and industrial loans and commercial real estate loans are in nonaccrual status, a loan-by-loan analysis of expected credit losses on those individual loans.

Leases

The Company provides financing and operating lease arrangements to commercial customers for construction and industrial equipment and machinery, railroad cars, commercial trucks and trailers, aircraft and other assets. Certain leases contain payment schedules that are tied to variable interest rate indices. In general, early termination options are provided if the lessee is not in default, returns the leased equipment and pays an early termination fee. Additionally, options to purchase the underlying asset by the lessee are generally at the fair market value of the equipment.

Commercial lease financing receivables are included in Loans in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet. Interest income recognized on finance lease receivables was $171 million, $158 million and $136 million in 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. A summary of commercial lease financing receivables follows.

			December 31,
(Dollars in millions)			2025						2024
Lease payments receivable			$	2,798					$	2,751
Estimated residual value of leased assets (a)			316						339
Amounts representing interest			(367)						(349)
Total			$	2,747					$	2,741

__________________________________________________________________________________

*(a)*Includes $75 million and $89 million in residual values that are guaranteed by the lessees or others at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Leased assets provided to customers under operating lease arrangements, net of accumulated depreciation, were $184 million at December 31, 2025 and $204 million at December 31, 2024, and were included in Accrued interest and other assets in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company, as a lessor, recognized operating lease income, inclusive of gains and losses on the disposal of leased assets, of $48 million, $44 million and $56 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively, in Other revenues from operations in the Consolidated Statement of Income.

At December 31, 2025, the minimum future lease payments to be received from lessor receivable arrangements were as follows:

(Dollars in millions)			Financing Leases						Operating Leases
Year ending December 31:
2026			$	965					$	36
2027			733						30

Right-of-use assets — operating leases			544						569
Premises and equipment, net			$	1,629					$	1,705

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:

*(a)*As of December 31, 2025.

*(b)*Terms generally convert to variable rate in the final year before maturity, at which time the notes are redeemable at par.

*(c)*Represents weighted-average stated rates determined at the individual securitization level.

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:

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:

			Pension Benefits																		Other Postretirement Benefits
(Dollars in millions)			Year Ended December 31,																		Year Ended December 31,
Net periodic pension (benefit)/cost			2025						2024						2023						2025						2024						2023

Net periodic benefit			$	(81)					$	(90)					$	(77)					$	(1)					$	(1)					$	—

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.

(Dollars in millions)			Pension Plans						Other Postretirement Benefit Plans						Total

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:

			Target Allocations (a)												Fair Value Measurement of Plan Assets (b)
(Dollars in millions)			Minimum						Maximum						Total						Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)						Significant Observable Inputs (Level 2)						Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)

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.

**13.**Income taxes

*(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:

(Dollars in millions)			Federal, State and Local Tax						Accrued Interest						Unrecognized Income Tax Benefits
Gross unrecognized tax benefits at January 1, 2023			$	30					$	8					$	38
Increases as a result of tax positions taken in prior years			5						1						6
Decreases as a result of tax positions taken in prior years			(13)						(3)						(16)

Gross unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2024			25						11						36
Increases as a result of tax positions taken in prior years			14						1						15
Decreases as a result of tax positions taken in prior years			(4)						(2)						(6)
Gross unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2025			$	35					$	10					$	45
Less: Federal, state and local income tax benefits															(7)
Net unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2025 that, if recognized, would impact the effective income tax rate															$	38

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.

**14.**Earnings per common share

The computations of basic earnings per common share follow:

			Year Ended December 31,
(Dollars in millions, except per share, shares in thousands)			2025						2024						2023

**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:

			Notional Amount						Weighted-Average Maturity (In years)						Weighted- Average Rate												Fair Value Gain (Loss) (a)

__________________________________________________________________________________

(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.

*(d)*Includes notional amount and terms of $1.8 billion of forward-starting interest rate swap agreements that become effective in 2026.

*(e)*Includes notional amount and terms of $9.7 billion of forward-starting interest rate swap agreements that become effective in 2026 and 2027.

*(f)*Includes notional amount and terms of $3.4 billion of forward-starting interest rate swap agreements that become effective in 2025 and 2026.

*(g)*Includes notional amount and terms of $10.0 billion of forward-starting interest rate swap agreements that become effective in 2025 and 2026.

The notional amount of interest rate swap agreements entered into for risk management purposes that were outstanding at December 31, 2025 mature as follows:

(Dollars in millions)
Year ending December 31:
2026			$	10,200

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:

(Dollars in millions)												December 31, 2025																								December 31, 2024

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:

			December 31,

*(a)*Included in Accrued interest and other assets in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet.

*(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:

			December 31,
			2025						2024						2023
(Dollars in millions)
Level 1			$	—					$	—					$	—
Level 2			185						187						234
Level 3			171						660						689
			$	356					$	847					$	923
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

The carrying amounts and estimated fair value for certain financial instruments that are not recorded at fair value in the Consolidated Balance Sheet are presented in the following table:

(Dollars in millions)			Carrying Amount						Estimated Fair Value						Level 1						Level 2						Level 3
December 31, 2025
Financial assets:

__________________________________________________________________________________

*(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 income totaled $20 million in 2025, $48 million in 2024 and $20 million in 2023.

Bayview Financial, a privately-held specialty finance company, is BLG’s majority investor. In addition to their common investment in BLG, the Company and Bayview Financial conduct other business activities with each other.
