 Financial Highlights

  • Net interest margin widened 2 basis points from the fourth quarter of 2025 to 3.71% in the recent quarter reflecting a decline in funding costs that outpaced a reduction in yields received on earning assets.
  • Growth in average loans in the recent quarter reflects higher average balances of commercial and industrial loans, partially offset by lower average balances of commercial real estate and consumer loans.
  • Noninterest income reflects the impact of the Company's election on January 1, 2026 to prospectively measure its residential mortgage loan servicing right assets at fair value and lower gains on commercial mortgage loans originated for sale, partially offset by a $33 million distribution from M&T's investment in Bayview Lending Group LLC ("BLG") in the recent quarter.
  • The increase in noninterest expense includes seasonal salaries and employee benefits expense of $115 million, partially offset by lower other costs of operations reflecting a $30 million contribution to The M&T Charitable Foundation and amortization of residential mortgage loan servicing right assets each in the fourth quarter of 2025.
  • The allowance for loan losses as a percent of total loans remained unchanged at March 31, 2026.
  • In the recent quarter M&T repurchased 5.5 million shares of its common stock in accordance with its capital plan resulting in a total cost of $1.25 billion. M&T's CET1 capital ratio is estimated to be 10.33% at March 31, 2026.

Chief Financial Officer Commentary

"M&T continued to produce strong operating results and return capital to its shareholders in the recent quarter while investing in its businesses and expanding its operational capabilities in support of our strategic objectives of operational excellence and teaming for growth to meet the needs of our customers and make a difference in people's lives.

A reconciliation of non-GAAP measures is included in the tables that accompany this release.

M&T consistently provides supplemental reporting of its results on a "net operating" or "tangible" basis, from which M&T excludes the after-tax effect of amortization of core deposit and other intangible assets (and the related goodwill and core deposit and other intangible asset balances, net of applicable deferred tax amounts) and expenses associated with merging acquired operations into M&T (when incurred), since such items are considered by management to be "nonoperating" in nature.

Average earning assets rose $228 million from the fourth quarter of 2025 reflecting loan growth and purchases of investment securities, partially offset by a decrease in interest-bearing deposits at banks. Loan growth in the recent quarter reflected higher average commercial and industrial loan balances of $1.5 billion, including higher balances of loans to the financial and insurance industry, partially offset by lower average balances of commercial real estate loans of $605 million and consumer loans of $171 million.

Average earning assets increased $3.5 billion from the first quarter of 2025. Average interest-bearing deposits at banks decreased $3.5 billion as liquidity was deployed to originate loans and purchase investment securities. The growth in average loans reflected higher average balances of commercial and industrial loans of $2.7 billion, including growth in loans to the financial and insurance industry, an increase in average residential real estate loan balances of $1.6 billion and higher average consumer loan balances of $2.0 billion, reflecting growth in average balances of recreational finance, automobile loans and home equity loans and lines of credit. Those increases were partially offset by a $2.8 billion decline in average commercial real estate loan balances, reflecting payoffs.

Average interest-bearing liabilities in the recent quarter rose $988 million from the fourth quarter of 2025 reflecting an increase in short-term borrowings from the FHLB of New York, partially offset by a decline in average interest-bearing deposits and long-term borrowings, including maturities of senior notes.

Average interest-bearing liabilities increased $6.5 billion from the first quarter of 2025, as growth in average savings and interest-checking deposits of $5.0 billion and higher average short-term borrowings from the FHLB of New York were partially offset by a $1.1 billion decline in average time deposits due to maturities.

Predominantly government-guaranteed residential real estate loans.

The provision for credit losses was $140 million in the first quarter of 2026 as compared with $125 million in the immediately preceding quarter and $130 million in the first quarter of 2025. The allowance for loan losses as a percent of loans outstanding was 1.53% at each of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, improved from 1.63% at March 31, 2025. The 10 basis-point improvement from March 31, 2025 reflects lower levels of criticized loans.

Nonaccrual loans were $1.2 billion and $1.3 billion at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, compared with $1.5 billion at March 31, 2025. The lower level of nonaccrual loans at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 as compared with March 31, 2025 reflects decreases in commercial and industrial, commercial real estate and consumer nonaccrual loans.

Effective January 1, 2026, the Company elected to prospectively measure its residential mortgage loan servicing right assets at fair value with changes in fair value reflected in mortgage banking revenues. As a result, amortization associated with residential mortgage loan servicing right assets previously recognized in other costs of operations before 2026 is no longer recorded. Instead beginning in 2026, fair value changes in residential mortgage loan servicing right assets, inclusive of the realization of expected net servicing revenues over time, are included in mortgage banking revenues. On December 31, 2025, the Company began economically hedging the risk of fair value changes in these assets through the use of various interest rate derivative contracts, for which changes in fair value are also reflected in mortgage banking revenues.

Noninterest income in the first quarter of 2026 decreased $7 million, or 1%, from 2025's fourth quarter.

  • Mortgage banking revenues declined $28 million reflecting the impact of the Company's fair value accounting election described above that reduced residential mortgage banking revenues and lower gains on commercial mortgage loans originated for sale.
  • Trading account and other non-hedging derivative gains decreased $5 million reflecting a decrease in revenues from interest rate swap transactions with commercial customers.
  • Other revenues from operations increased $24 million reflecting a $33 million distribution from M&T's investment in BLG in the recent quarter, partially offset by lower merchant discount and credit card fees.

Noninterest income rose $78 million, or 13%, as compared with the first quarter of 2025.

  • Mortgage banking revenues increased $9 million reflecting a rise in residential mortgage loan servicing income, partially offset by the impact of the Company's accounting election in 2026 described above.
  • Service charges on deposit accounts increased $6 million reflecting higher commercial service charges.
  • Trust income rose $6 million reflecting higher revenues from the Company's global capital markets and wealth advisory services businesses.
  • Trading account and other non-hedging derivative gains increased $5 million reflecting higher revenues from interest rate swap transactions with commercial customers.
  • Other revenues from operations increased $45 million reflecting a $33 million distribution from M&T's investment in BLG and higher letter of credit and other credit-related fees each in the recent quarter.

Noninterest expense rose $59 million, or 4%, from the fourth quarter of 2025.

  • Salaries and employee benefits expense increased $105 million reflecting $115 million of seasonally higher stock-based compensation, payroll-related taxes and other employee benefits expenses and the impact of annual merit increases, partially offset by two less working days and lower employee staffing levels in the first quarter of 2026.
  • Professional and other services expense declined $12 million reflecting lower legal and review costs.
  • Higher FDIC assessments reflect a reduction of estimated special assessment expense of $29 million in the fourth quarter of 2025.
  • Advertising and marketing expense declined $11 million reflecting the seasonality of advertising campaigns.
  • Other costs of operations decreased $50 million reflecting a contribution to The M&T Charitable Foundation of $30 million and the amortization associated with residential mortgage loan servicing right assets each in the fourth quarter of 2025.

Noninterest expense increased $23 million, or 2%, from the first quarter of 2025.

  • Salaries and employee benefits expense increased $27 million reflecting higher salaries expense from annual merit and other increases and a rise in stock-based incentive compensation.
  • Outside data processing and software costs rose $8 million reflecting costs associated with enhancements to the Company's technology infrastructure, cybersecurity and financial recordkeeping and reporting systems.
  • Professional and other services expense increased $9 million reflecting higher legal and review costs.
  • Other costs of operations decreased $17 million reflecting the amortization associated with residential mortgage loan servicing right assets in the first quarter of 2025, partially offset by higher expense associated with the Company's supplemental executive retirement savings plan in the recent quarter.

Income Taxes

The Company's effective income tax rate was 23.0% in the first quarter of 2026, compared with 21.8% and 23.2% in the fourth and first quarters of 2025, respectively. The lower effective income tax rate in 2025's final quarter reflects a discrete income tax benefit of $8 million claimed on prior year tax returns.

Capital ratios at March 31, 2026 are estimated.

M&T's capital ratios remained well above the minimum set forth by regulatory requirements. Cash dividends declared on M&T's common and preferred stock totaled $224 million and $43 million, respectively, for the quarter ended March 31, 2026.

As a result of the Company's accounting election on January 1, 2026 to prospectively measure residential mortgage loan servicing right assets at fair value, the Company recorded an increase in capitalized servicing assets included in accrued interest and other assets of $263 million and a corresponding after-tax increase to retained earnings of $197 million, representing an 8 basis-point increase to CET1 capital on the election date.

M&T repurchased $1.25 billion of its common stock in accordance with its capital plan during the recent quarter, compared with $507 million and $662 million in the fourth quarter of 2025 and the first quarter of 2025, respectively.

The CET1 capital ratio for M&T was estimated at 10.33% as of March 31, 2026. M&T's total risk-weighted assets at March 31, 2026 are estimated to be $164.2 billion. Reflecting share repurchase activity and loan growth in the recent quarter, M&T's tangible common equity to tangible asset ratio at March 31, 2026 decreased 44 basis points from December 31, 2025. 

While not subject to the liquidity coverage ratio ("LCR") requirements, M&T estimates that its LCR on March 31, 2026 was 107%, exceeding the regulatory minimum standards that would be applicable if it were a Category III institution subject to the Category III reduced LCR requirements.

Forward-Looking Statements

This news release and related conference call may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and the rules and regulations of the SEC. Any statement that does not describe historical or current facts is a forward-looking statement, including statements based on current expectations, estimates and projections about M&T's business, and management's beliefs and assumptions.

Statements regarding the potential effects of events or factors specific to M&T and/or the financial industry as a whole, as well as national and global events generally, on M&T's business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations may constitute forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to the risk that the actual effects may differ, possibly materially, from what is reflected in those forward-looking statements due to factors and future developments that are uncertain, unpredictable and in many cases beyond M&T's control.

Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words such as "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "intend," "target," "estimate," "continue," or "potential," by future conditional verbs such as "will," "would," "should," "could," or "may," or by variations of such words or by similar expressions. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions which are difficult to predict and may cause actual outcomes to differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted.

While there can be no assurance that any list of risks and uncertainties is complete, important factors that could cause actual outcomes and results to differ materially from those contemplated by forward-looking statements include the following, without limitation: economic conditions and growth rates, including inflation and market volatility; events, developments and current conditions in the financial services industry, including trust, brokerage and investment management businesses; changes in interest rates, spreads on earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, and interest rate sensitivity; prepayment speeds, loan originations, loan concentrations by type and industry, credit losses and market values on loans, collateral securing loans, and other assets; sources of liquidity; levels of client deposits; ability to contain costs and expenses; changes in M&T's credit ratings; domestic or international political developments and other geopolitical events, including trade and tariff policies and international conflicts and hostilities; changes and trends in the securities markets; common shares outstanding and common stock price volatility; fair value of and number of stock-based compensation awards to be issued in future periods; the impact of changes in market values on trust-, brokerage-, and investment management-related revenues; federal, state or local legislation and/or regulations affecting the financial services industry, or M&T and its subsidiaries individually or collectively, including tax policy; regulatory supervision and oversight, including monetary policy and capital requirements; governmental and public policy changes; political conditions, either nationally or in the states in which M&T and its subsidiaries do business; the initiation and outcome of potential, pending and future litigation, investigations and governmental proceedings, including tax-related examinations and other matters; operational risk events, including loss resulting from fraud by employees or persons outside M&T and breaches in data and cybersecurity; changes in accounting policies or procedures as may be required by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, regulatory agencies or legislation; increasing price, product and service competition by competitors, including new entrants; technological developments and changes; the ability to continue to introduce competitive new products and services on a timely, cost-effective basis; the mix of products and services; protection and validity of intellectual property rights; reliance on large customers; technological, implementation and cost/financial risks in large, multi-year contracts; continued availability of financing; financial resources in the amounts, at the times and on the terms required to support M&T and its subsidiaries' future businesses; and material differences in the actual financial results of merger, acquisition, divestment and investment activities compared with M&T's initial expectations, including the full realization of anticipated cost savings and revenue enhancements.

These are representative of the factors that could affect the outcome of the forward-looking statements. In addition, as noted, such statements could be affected by general industry and market conditions and growth rates, general economic and political conditions, either nationally or in the states in which M&T and its subsidiaries do business, and other factors.

M&T provides further detail regarding these risks and uncertainties in its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, including in the Risk Factors section of such report, as well as in other SEC filings. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and M&T assumes no duty and does not undertake to update forward-looking statements.
