This Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and other information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as well as with M&T's 2024 Annual Report. Information regarding the Company's business, its supervision and regulation and potential risks and uncertainties that may affect the Company's business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations are also included in the 2024 Annual Report.

Financial Overview

The Company's results of operations in the second quarter of 2025 as compared with the first quarter of 2025 reflected higher taxable-equivalent net interest income and a rise in noninterest income, including favorable residential mortgage banking activities and gains on the sales of an out-of-footprint loan portfolio and a subsidiary that specialized in institutional services. The results of operations for each of the first quarters of 2025 and 2024 included seasonal salaries and employee benefits expense of $110 million and $99 million, respectively. The first six months of 2024 results included a $25 million distribution from M&T's investment in BLG and $34 million of FDIC special assessment expense. A summary of financial results for the Company is provided below:

SUMMARY OF FINANCIAL RESULTS

__________________________________________________________________________________

*(a)*Net interest income data are presented on a taxable-equivalent basis which is a non-GAAP measure. The taxable-equivalent adjustment represents additional income taxes that would be due if all interest income were subject to income taxes. This adjustment, which is related to interest received on qualified municipal securities, industrial revenue financings and preferred equity securities, is based on a composite income tax rate of approximately 25%.

The increase in net income in the recent quarter as compared with the first quarter of 2025 resulted from the following:

• Net interest income on a taxable-equivalent basis increased $15 million in the recent quarter reflecting one more calendar day of earnings and a comparatively favorable impact from interest rate swap agreements used for hedging purposes, partially offset by $20 million of lower taxable-equivalent interest income resulting from an alignment of amortization periods for certain municipal bonds obtained from the acquisition of People's United in 2022. Reflecting those factors the net interest margin narrowed 4 basis points.

• Noninterest income increased $72 million reflecting higher residential mortgage banking revenues and an increase in other revenues from operations, including gains on the sales of an out-of-footprint loan portfolio of $15 million and a subsidiary that specialized in institutional services of $10 million.

• Noninterest expense decreased $79 million reflecting seasonal salaries and employee benefits expense in the first quarter of 2025.

- 43 -

The increase in net income in the six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared with the same 2024 period reflected the following:

• Net interest income on a taxable-equivalent basis increased $6 million reflecting a widening of the net interest margin by 8 basis points as an increase in the Company's net interest spread was partially offset by a decline in contribution from net interest-free funds.

• The provision for credit losses declined $95 million mainly reflecting improved levels of criticized loans.

• Noninterest income increased $130 million reflecting higher mortgage banking revenues, trust income, service charges on deposit accounts and other revenues from operations.

• Noninterest expense rose $58 million reflecting higher levels of salaries and employee benefits expense and outside data processing and software costs, partially offset by lower FDIC assessments, including $34 million of FDIC special assessment expense in the first half of 2024, and lower other costs of operations.

The Company's effective income tax rates were 23.4% and 23.2% for the second and first quarters of 2025, respectively, and 23.3% and 21.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The first half of 2024 income

(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon an evaluation carried out as of the end of the period covered by this report under the supervision and with the participation of M&T's management, including its Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of M&T’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act rules 13a-15(e)), René F. Jones, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, and Daryl N. Bible, Senior Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that M&T’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2025.

(b) Changes in internal control over financial reporting. M&T regularly assesses and enhances its internal control over financial reporting. The Company has begun a multi-phase implementation of new financial recordkeeping and reporting systems, including its general ledger and certain subledger platforms. In conjunction therewith the Company has and will continue to change certain processes and internal controls over financial reporting. No changes have been identified during the quarter ended June 30, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, M&T’s internal control over financial reporting.
