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

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 second quarter of 2025 resulted from the following:

• Net interest income on a taxable-equivalent basis increased $51 million reflecting an additional day of earnings, favorable earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities repricing and the impact of $20 million of lower taxable-equivalent interest income in the second quarter of 2025 resulting from an alignment of amortization periods for certain municipal bonds obtained from the acquisition of People’s United. Reflecting those factors the net interest margin expanded 6 basis points.

• Noninterest income increased $69 million reflecting higher residential mortgage banking revenues and a rise in other revenues from operations resulting from a $28 million distribution of an earnout payment related to the Company's 2023 sale of its CIT business, a $20 million distribution from M&T's investment in BLG and a $12 million gain on the sale of equipment leases each in the recent quarter, partially offset by 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 each in the second quarter of 2025.

• Noninterest expense increased $27 million reflecting higher severance-related expense, an impairment of a renewable energy tax-credit investment and an increase in expenses associated with M&T's supplemental executive retirement savings plan, partially offset by lower FDIC assessments.

- 44 -

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

• Net interest income on a taxable-equivalent basis increased $40 million reflecting a widening of the net interest margin by 8 basis points. The higher net interest margin reflects favorable earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities repricing that improved the Company's net interest spread, partially offset by a decline in the contribution of net interest-free funds.

• The provision for credit losses declined $90 million mainly reflecting improved levels of criticized loans.

• Noninterest income increased $276 million reflecting higher mortgage banking revenues, trust income, service charges on deposit accounts and other revenues from operations.

• Noninterest expense rose $118 million reflecting higher levels of salaries and employee benefits expense and outside data processing and software costs, partially offset by lower FDIC assessments, which included $34 million of FDIC special assessment expense in the first nine months of 2024.

The Company's effective income tax rates were 22.8% and 23.4% for the third and second quarters of 2025, respectively, and 23.1% and 21.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Income tax expense for the first nine months of 2024 reflected $31 million of net discrete tax benefits.

Under approved capital plans and programs authorized by the Board of Directors, M&T repurchased 2.1 million sha

(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 September 30, 2025.

(b) Changes in internal control over financial reporting. M&T regularly assesses and enhances its internal control over financial reporting. The Company is conducting 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 September 30, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, M&T’s internal control over financial reporting.

On September 9, 2025, René F. Jones, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, adopted a trading arrangement intended to satisfy the affirmative defense conditions of Rule 10b5-1(c).

The arrangement does not provide for the sale of shares. Transactions under the trading arrangement will not commence until completion of the required cooling off period under Rule 10b5-1 and expiration of any prior trading arrangement.

No executive officers and no directors terminated or modified a Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement in the three months ended September 30, 2025.

Certain executive officers and directors have made elections to participate in, and are participating in, the Company's tax-qualified 401(k) plan and nonqualified deferred compensation plans, or have made, and may from time to time make, elections to reinvest dividends in M&T common stock, or have shares withheld to cover withholding taxes upon the vesting of equity awards or to pay the exercise price of options, each of which may be designed to satisfy the affirmative defense conditions of Rule 10b5-1(c) or may constitute non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangements (as defined in Item 408(c) of Regulation S-K).
