NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.	Significant accounting policies

The consolidated financial statements of M&T Bank Corporation (“M&T”) and subsidiaries (“the Company”) were compiled in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) using the accounting policies set forth in note 1 of Notes to Financial Statements included in Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 (“2015 Annual Report”). In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation have been made and were all of a normal recurring nature.

2.	Acquisitions

On November 1, 2015, M&T completed the acquisition of Hudson City Bancorp, Inc. (“Hudson City”), headquartered in Paramus, New Jersey. On that date, Hudson City Savings Bank, the banking subsidiary of Hudson City, was merged into M&T Bank, a wholly owned banking subsidiary of M&T. Hudson City Savings Bank operated 135 banking offices in New Jersey, Connecticut and New York at the date of acquisition. The results of operations acquired in the Hudson City transaction have been included in the Company’s financial results since November 1, 2015. After application of the election, allocation and proration procedures contained in the merger agreement with Hudson City, M&T paid $2.1 billion in cash and issued 25,953,950 shares of M&T common stock in exchange for Hudson City shares outstanding at the time of the acquisition. The purchase price was approximately $5.2 billion based on the cash paid to Hudson City shareholders, the fair value of M&T stock exchanged and the estimated fair value of Hudson City stock awards converted into M&T stock awards. The acquisition of Hudson City expanded the Company’s presence in New Jersey, Connecticut and New York, and management expects that the Company will benefit from greater geographic diversity and the advantages of scale associated with a larger company.

The Hudson City transaction has been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting and, accordingly, assets acquired, liabilities assumed and consideration exchanged were recorded at estimated fair value on the acquisition date. The consideration paid for Hudson City’s common equity and the amounts of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date were as follows:


	(in thousands)
Identifiable assets:
Cash and due from banks	$	131,688
Interest-bearing deposits at banks		7,568,934

2.	Acquisitions, continued

In early November 2015, the Company sold $5.8 billion of investment securities obtained in the acquisition and repaid $10.6 billion of borrowings assumed in the transaction. In connection with the acquisition, the Company recorded approximately $1.1 billion of goodwill and $132 million of core deposit intangible. The core deposit intangible asset is being amortized over a period of 7 years using an accelerated method.

The following table presents certain pro forma information as if Hudson City had been included in the Company’s results of operations in the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2015. These results combine the historical results of Hudson City into the Company’s consolidated statement of income and, while certain adjustments were made for the estimated impact of certain fair valuation adjustments and other acquisition-related activity, they are not indicative of what would have occurred had the acquisition taken place as indicated. In particular, no adjustments have been made to eliminate the impact of gains on securities transactions of $67 million during the three months ended June 30, 2015 and $74 million during the six months ended June 30, 2015 that may not have been recognized had the investment securities been recorded at fair value. Additionally, the Company expects to achieve operating cost savings and other business synergies as a result of the acquisition which are not reflected in the pro forma amounts that follow.

Net income		357,654		642,891

(a)

Represents net interest income plus other income.

In connection with the Hudson City acquisition, the Company incurred merger-related expenses related to systems conversions and other costs of integrating and conforming acquired operations with and into the Company. Those expenses consisted largely of professional services and other temporary help fees associated with preparing for systems conversions and/or integration of operations; costs related to termination of existing contractual arrangements for various services; initial marketing and promotion expenses designed to introduce M&T Bank to its new customers; severance (for former Hudson City employees); travel costs; and other costs of completing the transaction and commencing operations in new markets and offices. The Company does not expect additional merger-related expenses in 2016.

A summary of merger-related expenses included in the consolidated statement of income follows:


	Three months ended June 30, 2016		Six months ended June 30, 2016
	(in thousands)

The Company expanded its definition of construction loans in 2016 and, as a result, re-characterized certain commercial real estate loans as other commercial construction loans. The December 31, 2015 balances reflect such changes.

One-to-four family residential mortgage loans held for sale were $374 million and $353 million at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. Commercial mortgage loans held for sale were $228 million at June 30, 2016 and $39 million at December 31, 2015.

4.	Loans and leases and the allowance for credit losses, continued

In establishing the allowance for credit losses, the Company estimates losses attributable to specific troubled credits identified through both normal and detailed or intensified credit review processes and also estimates losses inherent in other loans and leases on a collective basis. For purposes of determining the level of the allowance for credit losses, the Company evaluates its loan and lease portfolio by loan type. The amounts of loss components in the Company’s loan and lease portfolios are determined through a loan-by-loan analysis of larger balance commercial loans and commercial real estate loans that are in nonaccrual status and by applying loss factors to groups of loan balances based on loan type and management’s classification of such loans under the Company’s loan grading system. Measurement of the specific loss components is typically based on expected future cash flows, collateral values and other factors that may impact the borrower’s ability to pay. In determining the allowance for credit losses, the Company utilizes a loan grading system which is applied to commercial and commercial real estate credits on an individual loan basis. Loan officers are responsible for continually assigning grades to these loans based on standards outlined in the Company’s Credit Policy. Internal loan grades are also monitored by the Company’s loan review department to ensure consistency and strict adherence to the prescribed standards. Loan grades are assigned loss component factors that reflect the Company’s loss estimate for each group of loans and leases. Factors considered in assigning loan grades and loss component factors 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; levels of and trends in portfolio charge-offs and recoveries; levels of and trends in portfolio delinquencies and impaired loans; changes in the risk profile of specific portfolios; trends in volume and terms of loans; effects of changes in credit concentrations; and observed trends and practices in the banking industry. As updated appraisals are obtained on individual loans or other events in the market place indicate that collateral values have significantly changed, individual loan grades are adjusted as appropriate. Changes in other factors cited may also lead to loan grade changes at any time. Except for consumer and residential real estate loans that are considered smaller balance homogenous loans and acquired loans that are evaluated on an aggregated basis, the Company considers a loan to be impaired for purposes of applying GAAP when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement or the loan is delinquent 90 days. Regardless of loan type, the Company considers a loan to be impaired if it qualifies as a troubled debt restructuring. Modified loans, including smaller balance homogenous loans, that are considered to be troubled debt restructurings are evaluated for impairment giving consideration to the impact of the modified loan terms on the present value of the loan’s expected cash flows.

4.	Loans and leases and the allowance for credit losses, continued

In accordance with the previously described policies, the Company utilizes a loan grading system that is applied to all commercial loans and commercial real estate loans. Loan grades are utilized to differentiate risk within the portfolio and consider the expectations of default for each loan. Commercial loans and commercial real estate 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 credit losses. Loans with an elevated level of credit risk are classified as “criticized” and are ascribed a higher loss factor when determining the allowance for credit losses. Criticized loans may be classified 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. All larger balance criticized commercial loans and commercial real estate loans are individually reviewed by centralized loan review personnel each quarter to determine the appropriateness of the assigned loan grade, including whether the loan should be reported as accruing or nonaccruing. Smaller balance criticized loans are analyzed by business line risk management areas to ensure proper loan grade classification. Furthermore, criticized nonaccrual commercial loans and commercial real estate loans are considered impaired and, as a result, specific loss allowances on such loans are established within the allowance for credit losses to the extent appropriate in each individual instance. The following table summarizes the loan grades applied to the various classes of the Company’s commercial loans and commercial real estate loans.

In determining the allowance for credit losses, residential real estate loans and consumer loans are generally evaluated collectively after considering such factors as payment performance and recent loss experience and trends, which are mainly driven by current collateral values in the market place as well as the amount of loan defaults. Loss rates on such loans are determined by reference to recent charge-off history and are evaluated (and adjusted if deemed appropriate) through consideration of other factors including near-term forecasted loss estimates developed by the Company’s Credit Department. In arriving at such forecasts, the Company considers the current estimated fair value of its collateral based on geographical adjustments for home price depreciation/appreciation and overall borrower repayment performance. With regard to collateral values, the realizability of such values by the Company contemplates repayment of any first lien position prior to recovering amounts on a second lien position. However, residential real estate loans and outstanding balances of home equity loans and lines of credit that are more than 150 days past due are generally evaluated for collectibility on a loan-by-loan basis giving consideration to estimated collateral values. The carrying value of residential real estate loans and home equity loans and lines of credit for which a partial charge-off has been recognized aggregated $52 million and $31 million, respectively, at June 30, 2016 and $55 million and $21 million,

respectively, at December 31, 2015. Residential real estate loans and home equity loans and lines of credit that were more than 150 days past due but did not require a partial charge-off because the net realizable value of the collateral exceeded the outstanding customer balance totaled $18 million and $39 million, respectively, at June 30, 2016 and $20 million and $28 million, respectively, at December 31, 2015.

The Company also measures additional losses for purchased impaired loans when it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all cash flows expected at acquisition plus additional cash flows expected to be collected arising from changes in estimates after acquisition. The determination of the allocated portion of the allowance for credit losses is very subjective. Given that inherent subjectivity and potential imprecision involved in determining the allocated portion of the allowance for credit losses, the Company also provides an inherent unallocated portion of the allowance. The unallocated portion of the allowance is intended to recognize probable losses that are not otherwise identifiable and includes management’s subjective determination of amounts necessary to provide for the possible use of imprecise estimates in determining the allocated portion of the allowance. Therefore, the level of the unallocated portion of the allowance is primarily reflective of the inherent imprecision in the various calculations used in determining the allocated portion of the allowance for credit losses. Other factors that could also lead to changes in the unallocated portion include the effects of expansion into new markets for which the Company does not have the same degree of familiarity and experience regarding portfolio performance in changing market conditions, the introduction of new loan and lease product types, and other risks associated with the Company’s loan portfolio that may not be specifically identifiable.

During the normal course of business, the Company modifies loans to maximize recovery efforts. If the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and a concession is granted, the Company considers such modifications as troubled debt restructurings and classifies those loans as either nonaccrual loans or renegotiated loans. The types of concessions that the Company grants typically include principal deferrals and interest rate concessions, but may also include other types of concessions.

Troubled debt restructurings are considered to be impaired loans and for purposes of establishing the allowance for credit losses are evaluated for impairment giving consideration to the impact of the modified loan terms on the present value of the loan’s expected cash flows. Impairment of troubled debt restructurings that have subsequently defaulted may also be measured based on the loan’s observable market price or the fair value of collateral if the loan is collateral-dependent. Charge-offs may also be recognized on troubled debt restructurings that have subsequently defaulted. Loans that were modified as troubled debt restructurings during the twelve months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 and for which there was a subsequent payment default during the six-month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, were not material.

The amount of foreclosed residential real estate property held by the Company was $158 million and $172 million at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. There were $305 million and $315 million at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, in loans secured by residential real estate that were in the process of foreclosure.

5.	Borrowings

M&T had $515 million of fixed and variable rate junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures (“Junior Subordinated Debentures”) outstanding at June 30, 2016 that are held by various trusts that were issued in connection with the issuance by those trusts of preferred capital securities (“Capital Securities”) and common securities (“Common Securities”). The proceeds from the issuances of the 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 Capital Securities represent preferred undivided interests in the assets of the corresponding trust. Under the Federal Reserve Board’s risk-based capital guidelines, beginning in 2016 none of the securities are includable in M&T’s Tier 1 regulatory capital, but do qualify for inclusion in Tier 2 regulatory capital.

Holders of the 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 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 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 Capital Securities. The obligations under such guarantee and the Capital Securities are subordinate and junior in right of payment to all senior indebtedness of M&T.

The Capital Securities will remain outstanding until the Junior Subordinated Debentures are repaid at maturity, are redeemed prior to maturity or are distributed in liquidation to the trusts. The Capital Securities are mandatorily redeemable in whole, but not in part, upon repayment at the stated maturity dates (ranging from 2027 to 2033) of the Junior Subordinated Debentures or the earlier redemption of the Junior Subordinated Debentures in whole upon the occurrence of one or more events set forth in the indentures relating to the Capital Securities, and in whole or in part at any time after an optional redemption prior to contractual maturity contemporaneously with the optional redemption of the related Junior Subordinated Debentures in whole or in part, subject to possible regulatory approval.

Also included in long-term borrowings are agreements to repurchase securities of $1.9 billion at each of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015. The agreements reflect various repurchase dates through 2020, however, the contractual maturities of the underlying investment securities extend beyond such repurchase dates. The agreements are subject to legally enforceable master netting arrangements, however, the Company has not offset any amounts related to these agreements in its consolidated financial statements. The Company posted collateral consisting primarily of government guaranteed mortgage-backed securities of $2.0 billion at each of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

6.	Shareholders’ equity

M&T is authorized to issue 1,000,000 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.

Fixed-to-Floating Rate Non-cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock $1,000 liquidation preference per share		350,000	$	350,000

(a)

Dividends, if declared, are paid at 6.375%. Warrants to purchase M&T common stock at $73.86 per share issued in connection with the Series A preferred stock expire in 2018 and totaled 713,855 at June 30, 2016 and 719,175 at December 31, 2015.

(b)

Dividends, if declared, are paid semi-annually at a rate of 6.875% per year. The shares became redeemable in whole or in part on June 15, 2016.

(c)

Dividends, if declared, are paid semi-annually at a rate of 6.45% through February 14, 2024 and thereafter will be paid quarterly at a rate of the three-month LIBOR plus 361 basis points (hundredths of one percent). The shares are redeemable in whole or in part on or after February 15, 2024. 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.

In addition to the Series A warrants mentioned in (a) above, a warrant to purchase 95,383 shares of M&T common stock at $518.96 per share was outstanding at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015. The obligation under that warrant was assumed by M&T in an acquisition.

GAAP defines unvested share-based awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) as participating securities that shall 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, which, in accordance with GAAP, are considered participating securities.

Stock-based compensation awards and warrants to purchase common stock of M&T representing approximately 2.7 million and 1.6 million common shares during the three-month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and 2.8 million and 2.1 million common shares during the six-month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, were not included in the computations of diluted earnings per common share because the effect on those periods would have been antidilutive.

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 and collateral provisions protecting the at-risk party. Based on adherence to the Company’s credit standards and the presence of the netting and collateral provisions, the Company believes that the credit risk inherent in these contracts was not material as of June 30, 2016.

The net effect of interest rate swap agreements was to increase net interest income by $10 million and $11 million for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and $20 million and $22 million for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

(a)

Under the terms of these agreements, the Company receives settlement amounts at a fixed rate and pays at a variable rate.

The Company utilizes commitments to sell residential and commercial real estate loans to hedge the exposure to changes in the 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 fair value of certain commitments to originate real estate loans for sale.

Derivative financial instruments used for trading account purposes included interest rate contracts, foreign exchange and other option contracts, foreign exchange forward and spot contracts, and financial futures. Interest rate contracts entered into for trading account purposes had notional values of $20.1 billion and $18.4 billion at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. The notional amounts of foreign currency and other option and futures contracts entered into for trading account purposes aggregated $826 million and $1.6 billion at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

The Company has commitments to sell and commitments to originate residential and commercial real estate loans that are considered derivatives. The Company designates certain of the commitments to sell real estate loans as fair value hedges of real estate loans held for sale. 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. As a result of these activities, net unrealized pre-tax gains related to hedged loans held for sale, commitments to originate loans for sale and commitments to sell loans were approximately $28 million and $18 million at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. Changes in unrealized gains and losses are included in mortgage banking revenues and, in general, are realized in subsequent periods as the related loans are sold and commitments satisfied.

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 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.

The aggregate fair value of derivative financial instruments in a liability position, which are subject to enforceable master netting arrangements, was $113 million and $59 million at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. After consideration of such netting arrangements, the net liability positions with counterparties aggregated $108 million and $55 million at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. The Company was required to post collateral relating to those positions of $102 million and $52 million at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. Certain of the Company’s derivative financial instruments contain provisions that require the Company to maintain specific credit ratings from credit rating agencies to avoid higher collateral posting requirements. If the Company’s debt rating were to fall below specified ratings, the counterparties of the derivative financial instruments could demand immediate incremental collateralization on those instruments in a net liability position. The aggregate fair value of all derivative financial instruments with such credit risk-related contingent features in a net liability position on June 30, 2016 was $21 million, for which the Company had posted collateral of $17 million in the normal course of business. If the credit risk-related contingent features had been triggered on June 30, 2016, the maximum amount of additional collateral the Company would have been required to post to counterparties was $4 million.

The aggregate fair value of derivative financial instruments in an asset position, which are subject to enforceable master netting arrangements, was $14 million and $23 million at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. After consideration of such netting arrangements, the net asset positions with counterparties aggregated $9 million and $19 million at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. Counterparties posted collateral relating to those positions of $9 million and $22 million at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. Trading account interest rate swap agreements entered into with customers are subject to the Company’s credit risk standards and often contain collateral provisions.

In addition to the derivative contracts noted above, the Company clears certain derivative transactions through a clearinghouse rather than directly with counterparties. Those transactions cleared through a clearinghouse require initial margin collateral and additional collateral for contracts in a net liability position. The net fair values of derivative instruments cleared through clearinghouses at June 30, 2016 was a net liability position of $212 million and at December 31, 2015 was a net liability position of $50 million.

Collateral posted with clearinghouses was $280 million and $99 million at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

Variable interest entities and asset securitizations

In accordance with GAAP, at December 31, 2015 the Company determined that it was the primary beneficiary of a residential mortgage loan securitization trust considering its role as servicer and its retained subordinated interests in the trust. As a result, the Company had included the one-to-four family residential mortgage loans that were included in the trust in its consolidated financial statements. In the first quarter of 2016, the securitization trust was terminated as the Company exercised its right to purchase the underlying mortgage loans pursuant to the clean-up call provisions of the trust. At December 31, 2015, the carrying value of the loans in the securitization trust was $81 million. The outstanding principal amount of mortgage-backed securities issued by the qualified special purpose trust that was held by parties unrelated to the Company at December 31, 2015 was $13 million.

As described in note 5, M&T has issued junior subordinated debentures payable to various trusts that have issued Capital 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 June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company included the junior subordinated debentures as “long-term borrowings” in its consolidated balance sheet and recognized $24 million in 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 preferred capital securities described in note 5.

The Company has invested as a limited partner in various partnerships that collectively had total assets of approximately $1.1 billion at each of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015. Those partnerships generally construct or acquire properties 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. 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’s maximum exposure to loss of its investments in such partnerships was $279 million, including $70 million of unfunded commitments, at June 30, 2016 and $295 million, including $78 million of unfunded commitments, at December 31, 2015. Contingent commitments to provide additional capital contributions to these partnerships were not material at June 30, 2016. The Company has not provided financial or other support to the partnerships that was not contractually required. Management currently estimates that no material losses are probable as a result of the Company’s involvement with such entities. 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, in accordance with the accounting provisions for variable interest entities, the partnership entities are not included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company’s investment cost is amortized to income taxes in the consolidated statement of income as tax credits and other tax benefits resulting from deductible losses associated with the projects are received. The Company amortized $11 million and $22 million of its investments in qualified affordable housing projects to income tax expense during the three months and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, and recognized $14 million and $28

million of tax credits and other tax benefits during those respective periods. Similarly, for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company amortized $11 million and $21 million, respectively, of its investments in qualified affordable housing projects to income tax expense and recognized $15 million and $29 million of tax credits and other tax benefits during those respective periods.

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.

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 June 30, 2016.

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 estimated fair value.

Trading account assets and liabilities

Trading account assets and liabilities consist primarily of interest rate swap agreements and foreign exchange contracts with customers who require such services with offsetting positions with third parties to minimize the Company’s risk with respect to such transactions. The Company generally determines the fair value of its derivative trading account assets and liabilities using externally developed pricing models based on market observable inputs and, therefore, classifies such valuations as Level 2. Mutual funds held in connection with deferred compensation and other arrangements have been classified as Level 1 valuations. Valuations of investments in municipal and other bonds can generally be obtained through reference to quoted prices in less active markets for the

-39-

Fair value measurements, continued

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.

Investment securities available for sale

The majority of the Company’s available-for-sale investment securities have been valued by reference to prices for similar securities or through model-based techniques in which all significant inputs are observable and, therefore, such valuations have been classified as Level 2. Certain investments in mutual funds and equity securities are actively traded and, therefore, have been classified as Level 1 valuations.

Included in collateralized debt obligations are securities backed by trust preferred securities issued by financial institutions and other entities. The Company could not obtain pricing indications for many of these securities from its two primary independent pricing sources. The Company, therefore, performed internal modeling to estimate the cash flows and fair value of its portfolio of securities backed by trust preferred securities at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015. The modeling techniques included estimating cash flows using bond-specific assumptions about future collateral defaults and related loss severities. The resulting cash flows were then discounted by reference to market yields observed in the single-name trust preferred securities market. In determining a market yield applicable to the estimated cash flows, a margin over LIBOR ranging from 4% to 10%, with a weighted-average of 8%, was used. Significant unobservable inputs used in the determination of estimated fair value of collateralized debt obligations are included in the accompanying table of significant unobservable inputs to Level 3 measurements. At June 30, 2016, the total amortized cost and fair value of securities backed by trust preferred securities issued by financial institutions and other entities were $28 million and $43 million, respectively, and at December 31, 2015 were $28 million and $47 million, respectively. Privately issued mortgage-backed securities and securities backed by trust preferred securities issued by financial institutions and other entities constituted all of the available-for-sale investment securities classified as Level 3 valuations.

The Company ensures an appropriate control framework is in place over the valuation processes and techniques used for significant Level 3 fair value measurements. Internal pricing models used for significant valuation measurements have generally been subjected to validation procedures including testing of mathematical constructs, review of valuation methodology and significant assumptions used.

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 considered to be derivative financial instruments and, therefore, are carried at estimated fair value on the consolidated balance sheet. The estimated 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

-40-

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED

12.

Fair value measurements, continued

real estate loans generally result in a Level 2 classification. The estimated fair value of commitments to originate real estate loans for sale are 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. Significant unobservable inputs used in the determination of estimated fair value of commitments to originate real estate loans for sale are included in the accompanying table of significant unobservable inputs to Level 3 measurements.

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.

Fair value measurements, continued

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 uncollectible portions of those loans. Nonrecurring adjustments also include certain impairment amounts for collateral-dependent loans when establishing the allowance for credit 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 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 15% to 90% at June 30, 2016. As these discounts are not readily observable and are considered significant, the valuations have been classified as Level 3. Automobile collateral is typically valued by reference to independent pricing sources based on recent sales transactions of similar vehicles, and the related non-recurring fair value measurement adjustments have been classified as Level 2. Collateral values for other consumer installment loans are generally estimated based on historical recovery rates for similar types of loans. As these recovery rates are not readily observable by market participants, such valuation adjustments have been classified as Level 3. Loans subject to nonrecurring fair value measurement were $242 million at June 30, 2016 ($141 million and $101 million of which were classified as Level 2 and Level 3, respectively), $210 million at December 31, 2015 ($106 million and $104 million of which were classified as Level 2 and Level 3, respectively) and $147 million at June 30, 2015 ($89 million and $58 million of which were classified as Level 2 and Level 3, respectively). Changes in fair value recognized for partial charge-offs of loans and loan impairment reserves on loans held by the Company on June 30, 2016 were decreases of $4 million and $31 million for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2016, respectively. Changes in fair value recognized for partial charge-offs of loans and loan impairment reserves on loans held by the Company on June 30, 2015 were decreases of $34 million and $42 million for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2015, respectively.

Assets taken in foreclosure of defaulted loans

Assets taken in foreclosure of defaulted loans are primarily comprised of commercial and residential real property and are generally measured at the lower of cost or fair value less costs to sell. The fair value of the real property is generally determined 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. Assets taken in foreclosure of defaulted loans subject to nonrecurring fair value measurement were $33 million and $13 million at June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Changes in fair value recognized for those foreclosed assets held by the Company were not material during the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015.

Sensitivity of fair value measurements to changes in unobservable inputs

An increase (decrease) in the probability of default and loss severity for collateralized debt securities would generally result in a lower (higher) fair value measurement.

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.

With the exception of marketable securities, certain off-balance sheet financial instruments and one-to-four family residential mortgage loans originated for sale, the Company’s financial instruments are not readily marketable and market prices do not exist. The Company, in attempting to comply with the provisions of GAAP that require disclosures of fair value of financial instruments, 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. The following assumptions, methods and calculations were used in determining the estimated fair value of financial instruments not measured at fair value in the consolidated balance sheet.

Cash and cash equivalents, interest-bearing deposits at banks, deposits at Cayman Islands office, short-term borrowings, accrued interest receivable and accrued interest payable

Due to the nature of cash and cash equivalents and the near maturity of interest-bearing deposits at banks, deposits at Cayman Islands office, short-term borrowings, accrued interest receivable and accrued interest payable, the Company estimated that the carrying amount of such instruments approximated estimated fair value.

Fair value measurements, continued

Investment securities

Estimated fair values of investments in readily marketable securities were generally based on quoted market prices. Investment securities that were not readily marketable were assigned amounts based on estimates provided by outside parties or modeling techniques that relied upon discounted calculations of projected cash flows or, in the case of other investment securities, which include capital stock of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York, at an amount equal to the carrying amount.

Loans and leases

In general, discount rates used to calculate values for loan products were based on the Company’s pricing at the respective period end. A higher discount rate was assumed with respect to estimated cash flows associated with nonaccrual loans. Projected loan cash flows were adjusted for estimated credit losses. However, such estimates made by the Company may not be indicative of assumptions and adjustments that a purchaser of the Company’s loans and leases would seek.

Deposits

Pursuant to GAAP, the estimated fair value ascribed to noninterest-bearing deposits, savings deposits and interest-checking deposits must be established at carrying value because of the customers’ ability to withdraw funds immediately. Time deposit accounts are required to be revalued based upon prevailing market interest rates for similar maturity instruments. As a result, amounts assigned to time deposits were based on discounted cash flow calculations using prevailing market interest rates based on the Company’s pricing at the respective date for deposits with comparable remaining terms to maturity.

The Company believes that deposit accounts have a value greater than that prescribed by GAAP. The Company feels, however, that the value associated with these deposits is greatly influenced by characteristics of the buyer, such as the ability to reduce the costs of servicing the deposits and deposit attrition which often occurs following an acquisition.

Long-term borrowings

The amounts assigned to long-term borrowings were based on quoted market prices, when available, or were based on discounted cash flow calculations using prevailing market interest rates for borrowings of similar terms and credit risk.

Other commitments and contingencies

As described in note 13, in the normal course of business, various commitments and contingent liabilities are outstanding, such as loan commitments, credit guarantees and letters of credit. The Company’s pricing of such financial instruments is based largely on credit quality and relationship, probability of funding and other requirements. Loan commitments often have fixed expiration dates and contain termination and other clauses which provide for relief from funding in the event of significant deterioration in the credit quality of the customer. The rates and terms of the Company’s loan commitments, credit guarantees and letters of credit are competitive with other financial institutions operating in markets served by the Company. The Company believes that the carrying amounts, which are included in other liabilities, are reasonable estimates of the fair value of these financial instruments.

The Company does not believe that the estimated information presented herein is representative of the earnings power or value of the Company. The preceding analysis, which is inherently limited in depicting fair value, also does not consider any value associated with existing customer relationships nor the ability of the Company to create value through loan origination, deposit gathering or fee generating activities.

Many of the estimates presented herein are based upon the use of highly subjective information and assumptions and, accordingly, the results may not be

precise. Management believes that fair value estimates may not be comparable between financial institutions due to the wide range of permitted valuation techniques and numerous estimates which must be made. 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.

Commitments and contingencies

In the normal course of business, various commitments and contingent liabilities are outstanding. The following table presents the Company’s significant commitments. Certain of these commitments are not included in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.

Financial guarantees and indemnification contracts		2,926,230		2,794,322

Commitments to sell real estate loans		1,155,969		782,885

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to customers, generally having fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses that may require payment of a fee. 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 oftentimes similar to standby letters of credit and include mandatory purchase agreements issued to ensure that customer obligations are fulfilled, recourse obligations associated with sold loans, and other guarantees of customer performance or compliance with designated rules and regulations. 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 Delegated Underwriting and Servicing program. The Company’s maximum credit risk for

-51-

Commitments and contingencies, continued

recourse associated with loans sold under that program totaled approximately $2.6 billion and $2.5 billion at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, 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.

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 considered derivatives and along with commitments to originate real estate loans to be held for sale are generally recorded in the consolidated balance sheet at estimated fair market value.

The Company also has commitments under long-term operating leases.

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. Nevertheless, given the outcome of the matter discussed in the following paragraph, at June 30, 2016, the Company’s obligation to loan purchasers was not considered material to the Company’s consolidated financial position.

The Company was the subject of an investigation by government agencies relating to the origination of Federal Housing Administration (“FHA”) insured residential home loans and residential home loans sold to Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae. A number of other U.S. financial institutions have announced similar investigations. Regarding FHA loans, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”) Office of Inspector General and the U.S. Department of Justice (collectively, the “Government”) investigated whether the Company complied with underwriting guidelines concerning certain loans where HUD paid FHA insurance claims. The Company fully cooperated with the investigation. The Government advised the Company that based upon its review of a sample of loans for which an FHA insurance claim was paid by HUD, some of the loans did not meet underwriting guidelines. The Company, based on its own review of the sample, did not agree with the sampling methodology and loan analysis employed by the Government. Regarding loans originated by the Company and sold to Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, the investigation concerned whether the mortgages sold to Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae complied with applicable underwriting guidelines. The Company also cooperated with that portion of the investigation. In order to bring those investigations to a close, M&T Bank entered into a settlement agreement with the Government under which M&T Bank paid $64 million on May 12, 2016, without admitting liability. As a result, on May 20, 2016, a Joint Stipulation of Dismissal was filed with the United States District Court for the Western District of New York. The settlement did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations in the three-month or six-month periods ended June 30, 2016.

Commitments and contingencies, continued

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. To the extent the pending or threatened litigation could result in exposure in excess of that liability, the amount of such excess is not currently estimable. Although not considered probable, the range of reasonably possible losses for such matters in the aggregate, beyond the existing recorded liability, was between $0 and $40 million. Although the Company does not believe that the outcome of pending litigations will be material to the Company’s consolidated financial position, it cannot rule out the possibility that such outcomes will be material to the consolidated results of operations for a particular reporting period in the future.

Segment information

Reportable segments have been determined based upon the Company’s internal profitability reporting system, which is organized by strategic business unit. Certain strategic business units have been combined for segment information reporting purposes where the nature of the products and services, the type of customer and the distribution of those products and services are similar. The reportable segments are Business Banking, Commercial Banking, Commercial Real Estate, Discretionary Portfolio, Residential Mortgage Banking and Retail Banking.

The financial information of the Company’s segments was compiled utilizing the accounting policies described in note 22 of Notes to Financial Statements in the 2015 Annual Report. 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. As disclosed in the 2015 Annual Report, effective July 1, 2015, the Company changed its internal profitability reporting to move a builder and developer lending unit from the Residential Mortgage Banking segment to the Commercial Real Estate segment. Accordingly, financial information presented herein for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2015 have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. As a result, total revenues and net income decreased in the Residential Mortgage Banking segment and increased in the Commercial Real Estate segment by $6 million and $3 million, respectively, for the three-month period ended June 30, 2015 and by $12 million and $5 million, respectively, for the six-month period ended June 30, 2015 from that which was previously reported. During the second quarter of 2016, the Company revised its funds transfer pricing allocation related to the residential real estate loans obtained in the acquisition of Hudson City, retroactive to November 1, 2015. Accordingly, financial information for the three-month period ended March 31, 2016 has been reclassified to conform to the current methodology. As a result, total revenues and net income increased in the Discretionary Portfolio segment and decreased in the “All Other” category by $25 million and $15 million, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2016 from that which was previously reported.

As also described in note 22 in the 2015 Annual Report, neither goodwill nor core deposit and other intangible assets (and the amortization charges associated with such assets) resulting from acquisitions of financial institutions have been allocated to the Company’s reportable segments, but are included in the “All Other” category. The Company does, however, assign such intangible assets to business units for purposes of testing for impairment.

(a)

Total revenues are comprised of net interest income and other income. Net interest income is the difference between taxable-equivalent interest earned on assets and interest paid on liabilities owed by a segment and a funding charge (credit) based on the Company’s internal funds transfer pricing and allocation 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 $6,522,000 and $6,020,000 for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and $12,854,000 and $11,858,000 for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and is eliminated in “All Other” total revenues. Intersegment revenues are included in total revenues of the reportable segments. The elimination of intersegment revenues is included in the determination of “All Other” total revenues.

(b)

Average assets of the Commercial Real Estate and Residential Mortgage Banking segments for the six-month period ended June 30, 2015 differ by approximately $323 million from the previously reported balances reflecting the noted change in the Company’s internal profitability reporting to move a builder and developer lending unit from the Residential Mortgage Banking segment to the Commercial Real Estate segment.

Relationship with Bayview Lending Group LLC and Bayview Financial Holdings, L.P.

M&T holds a 20% minority interest in Bayview Lending Group LLC (“BLG”), a privately-held commercial mortgage company. M&T recognizes income or loss from BLG using the equity method of accounting. The carrying value of that investment was $17 million at June 30, 2016.

Bayview Financial Holdings, L.P. (together with its affiliates, “Bayview Financial”), a privately-held specialty mortgage 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. The Company has obtained loan servicing rights for mortgage loans from BLG and Bayview Financial having outstanding principal balances of $3.8 billion and $4.1 billion at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. Revenues from those servicing rights were $5 million and $6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and $10 million and $12 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The Company sub-services residential mortgage loans for Bayview Financial having outstanding principal balances totaling $34.5 billion and $37.7 billion at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. Revenues earned for sub-servicing loans for Bayview Financial were $25 million and $30 million for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and $48 million and $65 million for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. In addition, the Company held $169 million and $181 million of mortgage-backed securities in its held-to-maturity portfolio at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, that were securitized by Bayview Financial.

Sale of trust accounts

In April 2015, the Company sold the trade processing business within the retirement services division of its Institutional Client Services business. That sale resulted in an after-tax gain of $23 million ($45 million pre-tax) that reflected the allocation of approximately $11 million of previously recorded goodwill to the divested business. Revenues of the sold business had been included in “trust income” and were $9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2015. There were no revenues from the sold business recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2015 or thereafter. After considering related expenses, net income attributable to the business that was sold was not material to the consolidated results of operations of the Company in any of those periods.

Item 2.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Overview

Net income for M&T Bank Corporation (“M&T”) in the second quarter of 2016 was $336 million, compared with $287 million in the year-earlier quarter. Diluted earnings per common share for each of those periods were $1.98. During the initial quarter of 2016, net income totaled $299 million or $1.73 of diluted earnings per common share. Basic earnings per common share were $1.98 in the recent quarter, $1.99 in the second quarter of 2015 and $1.74 in the first quarter of 2016. For the first half of 2016, net income totaled $635 million or $3.71 of diluted earnings per common share, compared with $528 million or $3.63 of diluted earnings per common share in the year-earlier period. Basic earnings per common share for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 were $3.72 and $3.65, respectively.

The annualized rate of return on average total assets for M&T and its consolidated subsidiaries (“the Company”) in the recent quarter was 1.09%, compared with 1.18% in the year-earlier quarter and .97% in the first quarter of 2016. The annualized rate of return on average common shareholders’ equity was 8.38% in the second quarter of 2016, compared with 9.37% and 7.44% in the three-month periods ended June 30, 2015 and March 31, 2016, respectively. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2016, the annualized rates of return on average assets and average common shareholders’ equity were 1.03% and 7.91%, respectively, compared with 1.10% and 8.69%, respectively, in the first half of 2015.

On June 29, 2016, M&T announced that the Federal Reserve did not object to M&T’s proposed 2016 Capital Plan. That capital plan includes the repurchase of up to $1.15 billion of common shares during the four-quarter period starting on July 1, 2016 and an increase in the quarterly common stock dividend in the first quarter of 2017 of up to $.05 per share to $.75 per share. M&T may also continue to pay dividends and interest on other equity and debt instruments included in regulatory capital, including preferred stock, trust preferred securities and subordinated debt that were outstanding at December 31, 2015, consistent with the contractual terms of those instruments. Dividends are subject to declaration by M&T’s Board of Directors. Furthermore, on July 19, 2016, M&T’s Board of Directors authorized a new stock repurchase program to repurchase up to $1.15 billion of shares of M&T’s common stock subject to all applicable regulatory limitations, including those set forth in M&T’s 2016 Capital Plan.

On November 1, 2015, M&T completed its acquisition of Hudson City Bancorp, Inc. (“Hudson City”). Immediately following completion of the merger, Hudson City Savings Bank merged with and into M&T Bank, the principal bank subsidiary of M&T. Pursuant to the merger agreement, M&T paid cash consideration of $2.1 billion and issued 25,953,950 shares of M&T common stock in exchange for Hudson City shares outstanding at the time of acquisition. Assets acquired totaled approximately $36.7 billion, including $19.0 billion of loans and leases (including approximately $234 million of commercial real estate loans, $18.6 billion of residential real estate loans and $162 million of consumer loans). Liabilities assumed aggregated $31.5 billion, including $17.9 billion of deposits and $13.2 billion of borrowings. Immediately following the acquisition, the Company restructured its balance sheet by selling $5.8 billion of investment securities obtained in the acquisition and repaying $10.6 billion of borrowings assumed in the transaction. The common stock issued added $3.1 billion to M&T’s common shareholders’ equity. In connection with the acquisition, the Company recorded $1.1 billion of goodwill and $132 million of core deposit intangible asset.

Supplemental Reporting of Non-GAAP Results of Operations

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, core deposit intangible and other intangible asset balances, net of applicable deferred tax amounts) and expenses associated with merging acquired operations into the Company, since such items are considered by management to be “nonoperating” in nature. Those merger-related expenses generally consist of professional services and other temporary help fees associated with the actual or planned conversion of systems and/or integration of operations; costs related to branch and office consolidations; costs related to termination of existing contractual arrangements to purchase various services; initial marketing and promotion expenses designed to introduce M&T Bank to its new customers; severance; incentive compensation costs; travel costs; and printing, supplies and other costs of completing the transactions and commencing operations in new markets and offices. Those acquisition and integration-related expenses (herein referred to as merger-related expenses) totaled $13 million ($8 million after-tax effect) in the second quarter of 2016 ($.05 per diluted common share), compared with $23 million ($14 million after-tax effect) in the first quarter of 2016 ($.09 per diluted common share). There were no merger-related expenses in the first half of 2015. Although “net operating income” as defined by M&T is not a GAAP measure, M&T’s management believes that this information helps investors understand the effect of acquisition activity in reported results.

Net operating income during the second quarter of 2016 aggregated $351 million, compared with $290 million in the second quarter of 2015 and $320 million in the initial 2016 quarter. Diluted net operating earnings per common share were $2.07 for the recent quarter, compared with $2.01 in the year-earlier quarter and $1.87 in the first quarter of 2016. For the first six months of 2016, net operating income and diluted net operating earnings per common share were $671 million and $3.94, respectively, compared with $536 million and $3.69, respectively, in the similar 2015 period.

Net operating income in the second quarter of 2016 expressed as an annualized rate of return on average tangible assets was 1.18%, compared with 1.24% and 1.09% in the second quarter of 2015 and the initial 2016 quarter, respectively. Net operating income represented an annualized return on average tangible common equity of 12.68% in the recent quarter, compared with 13.76% and 11.62% in the quarters ended June 30, 2015 and March 31, 2016, respectively. For the first six months of 2016, net operating income represented an annualized return on average tangible assets and average tangible common shareholders’ equity of 1.14% and 12.15%, respectively, compared with 1.16% and 12.85%, respectively, in the corresponding 2015 period.

Reconciliations of GAAP amounts with corresponding non-GAAP amounts are presented in table 2.

Taxable-equivalent Net Interest Income

Taxable-equivalent net interest income was $870 million in the recent quarter, up 26% from $689 million in the second quarter of 2015. That growth resulted predominantly from the impact of higher average earning assets, which rose $24.5 billion, or 28%, to $111.9 billion in the recent quarter from $87.3 billion in the second quarter of 2015. The higher level of average earning assets in the second quarter of 2016 reflected a $20.5 billion increase in average loans and leases (due predominantly to the Hudson City acquisition, which added $17.2 billion to average loans), a $3.4 billion increase in average interest-bearing deposits at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and a $720 million rise in average balances of investment securities. As compared with 2015’s second quarter, a 4 basis point

-58-

(hundredths of one percent) narrowing in the recent quarter of the Company’s net interest margin, or taxable-equivalent net interest income expressed as an annualized percentage of average earning assets, was due, in part, to higher rates paid on interest-bearing deposits that reflect time deposits obtained in the acquisition of Hudson City. Taxable-equivalent net interest income in the recent quarter declined $8 million from the $878 million recorded in the first quarter of 2016, largely due to a 5 basis point narrowing of the net interest margin. Contributing to that narrowing were lower yields earned on investment securities, higher rates paid on interest-bearing deposits, including the impact of time deposits in the former Hudson City markets, and increased balances on deposit at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. While those low-yield deposits add to interest income, they have the impact of lowering the reported net interest margin.

For the first half of 2016, taxable-equivalent net interest income was $1.75 billion, up 29% from $1.35 billion in the first six months of 2015. That increase was largely attributable to higher average earning assets, which rose $25.3 billion, or 29%, to $111.5 billion in the first six months of 2016 from $86.3 billion in the first half of 2015. Loans obtained in the acquisition of Hudson City added $17.6 billion of average earning assets in the first half of 2016. Partially offsetting the rise in earning assets was a 2 basis point narrowing of the net interest margin to 3.15% in 2016 from 3.17% in 2015. That narrowing reflected higher rates paid on interest-bearing time deposits, largely related to deposits obtained in the acquisition of Hudson City.

Average loans and leases rose $20.5 billion or 30% to $88.2 billion in the recent quarter from $67.7 billion in the second quarter of 2015. Average commercial loans and leases were $21.4 billion in the second quarter of 2016, up $1.4 billion, or 7%, from $20.0 billion in the year-earlier quarter. Commercial real estate loans averaged $30.1 billion in the recent quarter, an increase of $1.9 billion, or 7%, from $28.2 billion in the second quarter of 2015. Reflecting average balances of $16.8 billion of loans obtained in the Hudson City acquisition, average residential real estate loans increased to $24.9 billion in the second quarter of 2016 from $8.4 billion in the similar 2015 quarter. Residential real estate loans held for sale averaged $308 million in the recent quarter and $437 million in the year-earlier quarter. Average consumer loans and leases totaled $11.7 billion in the recent quarter, $671 million or 6% higher than $11.0 billion in the corresponding quarter of 2015. That growth reflects a $566 million increase in the average balance of automobile loans.

Average loan and lease balances in the recent quarter rose $572 million from the first quarter of 2016. Average commercial loan and lease balances increased $733 million, or 4%, average commercial real estate loan balances increased $709 million, or 2% and average balances of consumer loans increased $131 million, or 1%, while average residential real estate loans declined $1.0 billion, or 4%, from 2016’s first quarter. The decrease in average residential real estate loans was attributable to paydowns of loans obtained in the Hudson City acquisition. The accompanying table summarizes quarterly changes in the major components of the loan and lease portfolio.

For the first six months of 2016, average loans and leases totaled $87.9 billion, $20.7 billion, or 31%, higher than in the year-earlier period. The most significant factors contributing to that increase were the residential real estate loans obtained in the Hudson City acquisition and growth in the commercial real estate loan and commercial loan and lease portfolios.

The investment securities portfolio averaged $14.9 billion in the second quarter of 2016, up $720 million, or 5%, from $14.2 billion in the year-earlier quarter. Average balances of investment securities declined $434 million, or 3%, from $15.3 billion averaged in the first quarter of 2016. For the first six months of 2016 and 2015, investment securities averaged $15.1 billion and $13.8 billion, respectively. The increases from the year-earlier periods reflect mortgage-backed securities retained from the acquisition of Hudson City and the net effect of purchases, partially offset by maturities and paydowns of mortgage-backed securities. The Company purchased approximately $3.5 billion of Fannie Mae and Ginnie Mae securities during 2015, $305 million of similar securities during the first quarter of 2016, and $200 million of U.S. Treasury notes during the second quarter of 2016. Those purchases reflect increased holdings of investment securities to satisfy the requirements of the U.S. version of the Basel Committee’s Liquidity Coverage Ratio requirements (“LCR”) that became effective in January 2016.

The investment securities portfolio is largely comprised of residential mortgage-backed securities, debt securities issued by municipalities, trust preferred securities issued by certain financial institutions, and shorter-term U.S. Treasury and federal agency notes. When purchasing investment securities, the Company also considers its liquidity position and overall interest-rate risk profile as well as the adequacy of expected returns relative to risks assumed, including prepayments. In managing its investment securities portfolio, the Company occasionally sells investment securities as a result of changes in interest rates and spreads, actual or anticipated prepayments, credit risk associated with a particular security, or as a result of restructuring its investment securities portfolio in connection with a business combination. The Hudson City acquisition added approximately $7.9 billion to the investment securities portfolio on the November 1, 2015 acquisition date. As noted earlier, immediately following the acquisition of Hudson City, the Company restructured its balance sheet by selling $5.8 billion of those securities.

The Company regularly reviews its investment securities for declines in value below amortized cost that might be characterized as “other than temporary.” There were no other-than-temporary impairment charges recognized in either of the six-month periods ended June 30, 2016 or 2015. Additional information about the investment securities portfolio is included in notes 3 and 12 of Notes to Financial Statements.

-60-

Other earning assets include interest-bearing deposits at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and other banks, trading account assets and federal funds sold. Those other earning assets in the aggregate averaged $8.8 billion in the recently completed quarter, compared with $5.5 billion and $8.3 billion in the second quarter of 2015 and the first quarter of 2016, respectively. Interest-bearing deposits at banks averaged $8.7 billion in the second quarter of 2016, $5.3 billion in the year-earlier period and $8.2 billion in the first quarter of 2016. For the six-month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, average balances of interest-bearing deposits at banks were $8.5 billion and $5.2 billion, respectively. The amounts of investment securities and other earning assets held by the Company are influenced by such factors as demand for loans, which generally yield more than investment securities and other earning assets, ongoing repayments, the levels of deposits, and management of liquidity (including the LCR) and balance sheet size and resulting capital ratios.

As a result of the changes described herein, average earning assets aggregated $111.9 billion in the recent quarter, compared with $87.3 billion in the corresponding quarter of 2015 and $111.2 billion in the initial quarter of 2016. Average earning assets totaled $111.5 billion and $86.3 billion during the six-month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

The most significant source of funding for the Company is core deposits. The Company considers noninterest-bearing deposits, interest-bearing transaction accounts, savings deposits and time deposits of $250,000 or less as core deposits. The Company’s branch network is its principal source of core deposits, which generally carry lower interest rates than wholesale funds of comparable maturities. Average core deposits totaled $91.5 billion in the second quarter of 2016, up 28% from $71.2 billion in the year-earlier quarter and 2% higher than $89.7 billion in the first quarter of 2016. The Hudson City acquisition added approximately $17.0 billion of core deposits on November 1, 2015, including $9.7 billion of time deposits, $6.6 billion of savings deposits and $691 million of noninterest-bearing deposits. The higher average core deposits in the two most recent quarters as compared with the second quarter of 2015 were predominantly reflective of the impact of the merger with Hudson City. The following table provides an analysis of quarterly changes in the components of average core deposits. For the six-month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, core deposits averaged $90.6 billion and $70.7 billion, respectively.

The Company also receives funding from other deposit sources, including branch-related time deposits over $250,000, deposits associated with the Company’s Cayman Islands office, and brokered deposits. Time deposits over $250,000, excluding brokered certificates of deposit, averaged $1.3 billion in the second quarter of 2016, compared with $353 million and $1.2 billion in the year-earlier quarter and the first quarter of 2016, respectively. The higher averages in the two most recent quarters as compared with the second quarter of 2015 were predominantly due to deposits obtained in the acquisition of Hudson City. Cayman Islands office deposits averaged $183 million, $212 million and $187 million for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2016, June 30, 2015 and March 31, 2016, respectively. Brokered time deposits averaged $59 million in each of the two most recent quarters,

-61-

compared with $31 million in the second quarter of 2015. The Company also had brokered interest-bearing transaction and brokered money-market deposit accounts, which in the aggregate averaged approximately $1.0 billion in the recent quarter, $1.1 billion in the second quarter of 2015 and $1.2 billion in the first quarter of 2016. The levels of brokered deposit accounts reflect the demand for such deposits, largely resulting from the desire of brokerage firms to earn reasonable yields while ensuring that customer deposits are fully insured. The level of Cayman Islands office deposits are also reflective of customer demand. Additional amounts of Cayman Islands office deposits or brokered deposits may be added in the future depending on market conditions, including demand by customers and other investors for those deposits, and the cost of funds available from alternative sources at the time.

The Company also uses borrowings from banks, securities dealers, various Federal Home Loan Banks, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and others as sources of funding. Short-term borrowings represent borrowing arrangements that at the time they were entered into had a contractual maturity of less than one year. Average short-term borrowings totaled $1.1 billion in the recent quarter, compared with $195 million in the second quarter of 2015 and $2.1 billion in the initial 2016 quarter. The higher level of such borrowings in the two most recent quarters was predominantly due to short-term borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York assumed in the Hudson City acquisition. Those short-term fixed-rate borrowings have various maturity dates throughout 2016. Included in short-term borrowings were unsecured federal funds borrowings, which generally mature on the next business day, that averaged $161 million and $153 million in the second quarters of 2016 and 2015, respectively, and $137 million in the first quarter of 2016.

Long-term borrowings averaged $10.3 billion in the recent quarter, compared with $10.2 billion in the second quarter of 2015 and $10.5 billion in the initial 2016 quarter. M&T Bank has a Bank Note Program whereby M&T Bank may offer unsecured senior and subordinated notes. Average balances of notes outstanding under that program were $5.2 billion, $5.5 billion and $5.4 billion during the three-month periods ended June 30, 2016, June 30, 2015 and March 31, 2016, respectively. The proceeds of the issuances of borrowings under the Bank Note Program have been predominantly utilized to purchase high-quality liquid assets that meet the requirements of the LCR. Also included in average long-term borrowings were amounts borrowed from various Federal Home Loan Banks of $1.2 billion in each of the second quarters of 2016 and 2015 and the first quarter of 2016. Subordinated capital notes included in long-term borrowings averaged $1.5 billion during each of the three-month periods ended June 30, 2016, June 30, 2015 and March 31, 2016. Junior subordinated debentures associated with trust preferred securities that were included in average long-term borrowings totaled $515 million in the recent quarter, compared with $562 million in the second quarter of 2015 and $514 million in the first quarter of 2016. In accordance with its 2015 Capital Plan, on April 15, 2015 M&T redeemed the junior subordinated debentures associated with the $310 million of trust preferred securities of M&T Capital Trusts I, II and III. Those borrowings had a weighted-average interest rate of 8.24%. Additional information regarding junior subordinated debentures is provided in note 5 of Notes to Financial Statements. Also included in long-term borrowings were agreements to repurchase securities, which averaged $1.9 billion during the two most recent quarters and $1.4 billion in the second quarter of 2015. The increases from the second quarter of 2015 reflect agreements to repurchase securities assumed in connection with the Hudson City acquisition. The repurchase agreements held at June 30, 2016 have various repurchase dates through 2020, however, the contractual maturities of the underlying securities extend beyond such repurchase dates. The Company has utilized interest rate swap agreements to modify the repricing characteristics of certain components of long-term debt. As of June 30, 2016, interest rate swap agreements were used to hedge approximately $1.4 billion of outstanding fixed rate long-term borrowings. Further

information on interest rate swap agreements is provided in note 10 of Notes to Financial Statements.

Changes in the composition of the Company’s earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, as discussed herein, as well as changes in interest rates and spreads, can impact net interest income. Net interest spread, or the difference between the taxable-equivalent yield on earning assets and the rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities, was 2.95% in the second quarter of 2016, compared with 2.97% in the second quarter of 2015. The yield on earning assets during the recent quarter was 3.51%, down slightly from 3.52% during the second quarter of 2015, while the rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities during the second quarter of 2016 was .56%, compared with .55% in the year-earlier quarter. In the initial 2016 quarter, the net interest spread was 3.01%, the yield on earning assets was 3.54% and the rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities was .53%. For the first half of 2016, the net interest spread was 2.98%, up 1 basis point from the corresponding 2015 period. The yield on earning assets and the rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities were 3.53% and .55%, respectively, during the first six months of 2016, compared with 3.53% and .56%, respectively, in the year-earlier period. As compared with the three-month and six-month periods of 2015, the similar 2016 periods reflect the favorable impact of the increase in short-term interest rates initiated by the Federal Reserve in mid-December 2015 that contributed to higher yields on loans and leases. Largely offsetting that benefit were lower yields on investment securities and higher rates paid on interest-bearing deposits. The narrowing of the net interest spread in the recent quarter as compared with the first quarter of 2016 reflects lower yields on investment securities and higher rates paid on interest-bearing deposits.

Net interest-free funds consist largely of noninterest-bearing demand deposits and shareholders’ equity, partially offset by bank owned life insurance and non-earning assets, including goodwill and core deposit and other intangible assets. Net interest-free funds averaged $35.7 billion in the second quarter of 2016, compared with $30.8 billion in the year-earlier quarter and $35.1 billion in the initial quarter of 2016. The increases in average net interest-free funds in the two most recent quarters as compared with the second quarter of 2015 reflect higher average balances of noninterest-bearing deposits and shareholders’ equity. Those deposits averaged $29.2 billion in the recent quarter, compared with $26.8 billion and $28.9 billion in the quarters ended June 30, 2015 and March 31, 2016, respectively. During the first six months of 2016 and 2015, average net interest-free funds aggregated $35.4 billion and $30.0 billion, respectively. In connection with the acquisition of Hudson City, the Company added noninterest-bearing deposits of $691 million at the acquisition date. In addition to the impact of the merger, growth in noninterest-bearing deposits since the second quarter of 2015 was due, in part, to higher deposits of commercial and trust customers. The rise in average shareholders’ equity included $3.1 billion of common equity issued in connection with the acquisition of Hudson City as well as net retained earnings. Goodwill and core deposit and other intangible assets averaged $4.7 billion in each of the two most recent quarters, compared with $3.5 billion in the second quarter of 2015. Goodwill of $1.1 billion and core deposit intangible of $132 million resulted from the Hudson City acquisition. The cash surrender value of bank owned life insurance averaged $1.7 billion in each of the three-month periods ended June 30, 2016, June 30, 2015 and March 31, 2016. Increases in the cash surrender value of bank owned life insurance and benefits received are not included in interest income, but rather are recorded in “other revenues from operations.” The contribution of net interest-free funds to net interest margin was .18% in the most recent quarter, compared with .20% in the second quarter of 2015 and .17% in the first quarter of 2016. That contribution for the first six months of 2016 and 2015 was .17% and .20%, respectively.

Reflecting the changes to the net interest spread and the contribution of net interest-free funds as described herein, the Company’s net interest

-63-

margin was 3.13% in the recent quarter, down from 3.17% in the year-earlier quarter and 3.18% in the first quarter of 2016. During the first six months of 2016 and 2015, the net interest margin was 3.15% and 3.17%, respectively. Future changes in market interest rates or spreads, as well as changes in the composition of the Company’s portfolios of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities that result in reductions in spreads, could adversely impact the Company’s net interest income and net interest margin.

Management assesses the potential impact of future changes in interest rates and spreads by projecting net interest income under several interest rate scenarios. In managing interest rate risk, the Company has utilized interest rate swap agreements to modify the repricing characteristics of certain portions of its interest-bearing liabilities. Periodic settlement amounts arising from these agreements are reflected in the rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities. The notional amount of interest rate swap agreements entered into for interest rate risk management purposes was $1.4 billion at each of June 30, 2016, June 30, 2015 and March 31, 2016. Under the terms of those interest rate swap agreements, the Company received payments based on the outstanding notional amount at fixed rates and made payments at variable rates. Those interest rate swap agreements were designated as fair value hedges of certain fixed rate long-term borrowings. There were no interest rate swap agreements designated as cash flow hedges at those respective dates.

In a fair value hedge, the fair value of the derivative (the interest rate swap agreement) and changes in the fair value of the hedged item are recorded in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet with the corresponding gain or loss recognized in current earnings. The difference between changes in the fair value of the interest rate swap agreements and the hedged items represents hedge ineffectiveness and is recorded in “other revenues from operations” in the Company’s consolidated statement of income. The amounts of hedge ineffectiveness recognized during each of the quarters ended June 30, 2016, June 30, 2015 and March 31, 2016 were not material to the Company’s results of operations. The estimated aggregate fair value of interest rate swap agreements designated as fair value hedges represented gains of approximately $34 million at June 30, 2016, $64 million at June 30, 2015, $41 million at March 31, 2016 and $44 million at December 31, 2015. The fair values of such interest rate swap agreements were substantially offset by changes in the fair values of the hedged items. The changes in the fair values of the interest rate swap agreements and the hedged items primarily result from the effects of changing interest rates and spreads. The Company’s credit exposure as of June 30, 2016 with respect to the estimated fair value of interest rate swap agreements used for managing interest rate risk has been substantially mitigated through master netting arrangements with trading account interest rate contracts with the same counterparty as well as counterparty postings of $9 million of collateral with the Company.

The weighted-average rates to be received and paid under interest rate swap agreements currently in effect were 4.42% and 1.63%, respectively, at June 30, 2016. The average notional amounts of interest rate swap agreements entered into for interest rate risk management purposes, the related effect on net interest income and margin, and the weighted-average interest rates paid or received on those swap agreements are presented in the accompanying table. Additional information about the Company’s use of interest rate swap agreements and other derivatives is included in note 10 of Notes to Financial Statements.

As a financial intermediary, the Company is exposed to various risks, including liquidity and market risk. Liquidity refers to the Company’s ability to ensure that sufficient cash flow and liquid assets are available to satisfy current and future obligations, including demands for loans and deposit withdrawals, funding operating costs, and other corporate purposes. Liquidity risk arises whenever the maturities of financial instruments included in assets and liabilities differ. The Company has, from time to time, issued subordinated capital notes and junior subordinated debentures associated with trust preferred securities to provide liquidity and enhance regulatory capital ratios. However, pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (“Dodd-Frank Act”), the Company’s junior subordinated debentures associated with trust preferred securities have been phased-out of the definition of Tier 1 capital. Effective January 1, 2015, 75% of such securities were excluded from the Company’s Tier 1 capital, and beginning January 1, 2016, 100% were excluded. The amounts excluded from Tier 1 capital are includable in total capital. In accordance with its 2015 Capital Plan, in April 2015 M&T redeemed the junior subordinated debentures associated with the trust preferred securities of M&T Capital Trusts I, II and III.

The Company has informal and sometimes reciprocal sources of funding available through various arrangements for unsecured short-term borrowings from a wide group of banks and other financial institutions. Short-term federal funds borrowings aggregated $156 million, $111 million and $99 million at June 30, 2016, June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2015, respectively. In general, those borrowings were unsecured and matured on the next business day. In addition to satisfying customer demand, Cayman Islands office deposits may be used by the Company as an alternative to short-term borrowings. Cayman Islands office deposits totaled $194 million at June 30, 2016, $167 million at June 30, 2015, and $170 million at December 31, 2015.

The Company has also benefited from the placement of brokered deposits. The Company has brokered interest-bearing transaction and brokered money-market deposit accounts which aggregated approximately $1.0 billion at June 30, 2016, $1.1 billion at June 30, 2015 and $1.2 billion at December 31, 2015. Brokered time deposits were not a significant source of funding as of those dates.

The Company’s ability to obtain funding from these or other sources could be negatively impacted should the Company experience a substantial deterioration in its financial condition or its debt ratings, or should the availability of short-term funding become restricted due to a disruption in the financial markets. The Company attempts to quantify such credit-event risk by modeling scenarios that estimate the liquidity impact resulting from a short-term ratings downgrade over various grading levels. Such impact is estimated by attempting to measure the effect on available unsecured lines of credit, available capacity from secured borrowing sources and securitizable assets. In addition to deposits and borrowings, other sources of liquidity include maturities of investment securities and other earning assets, repayments of loans and investment securities, and cash generated from operations, such as fees collected for services.

Certain customers of the Company obtain financing through the issuance of variable rate demand bonds (“VRDBs”). The VRDBs are generally enhanced by letters of credit provided by M&T Bank. M&T Bank oftentimes acts as remarketing agent for the VRDBs and, at its discretion, may from time-to-time own some of the VRDBs while such instruments are remarketed. When this occurs, the VRDBs are classified as trading account assets in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. Nevertheless, M&T Bank is not contractually obligated to purchase the VRDBs. The value of VRDBs in the Company’s trading account totaled $17 million at June 30, 2016 and less than $1 million at December 31, 2015, while there were no VRDBs in the Company’s trading account at June 30, 2015. The total amount of VRDBs outstanding backed by M&T Bank letters of credit was $1.7 billion at each of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, compared with $1.8 billion at June 30, 2015. M&T Bank also serves as remarketing agent for most of those bonds.

The Company enters into contractual obligations in the normal course of business which require future cash payments. Such obligations include, among others, payments related to deposits, borrowings, leases and other contractual commitments. Off-balance sheet commitments to customers may impact liquidity, including commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit, commercial letters of credit, financial guarantees and indemnification contracts, and commitments to sell real estate loans. Because many of these commitments or contracts expire without being funded in whole or in part, the contract amounts are not necessarily indicative of future cash flows. Further discussion of these commitments is provided in note 13 of Notes to Financial Statements.

M&T’s primary source of funds to pay for operating expenses, shareholder dividends and treasury stock repurchases has historically been the receipt of dividends from its banking subsidiaries, which are subject to various 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 two preceding years. For purposes of that test, at June 30, 2016 approximately $1.3 billion was available for payment of dividends to M&T from banking subsidiaries. Information regarding the long-term debt obligations of M&T is included in note 5 of Notes to Financial Statements.

Management closely monitors the Company’s liquidity position on an ongoing basis for compliance with internal policies and believes that available sources of liquidity are adequate to meet funding needs anticipated in the normal course of business. Management does not anticipate engaging in any activities, either currently or in the long-term, for which adequate funding would not be available and would therefore result in a significant

-66-

strain on liquidity at either M&T or its subsidiary banks. Banking regulators have finalized rules requiring a banking company to maintain a minimum amount of liquid assets to withstand a standardized supervisory liquidity stress scenario. The effective date for those rules for the Company was January 1, 2016, subject to a phase-in period. The Company has taken steps as noted herein to enhance its liquidity and is in compliance with the phase-in requirements of the rules.

Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse changes in the market prices and/or interest rates of the Company’s financial instruments. The primary market risk the Company is exposed to is interest rate risk. Interest rate risk arises from the Company’s core banking activities of lending and deposit-taking, because assets and liabilities reprice at different times and by different amounts as interest rates change. As a result, net interest income earned by the Company is subject to the effects of changing interest rates. The Company measures interest rate risk by calculating the variability of net interest income in future periods under various interest rate scenarios using projected balances for earning assets, interest-bearing liabilities and derivatives used to hedge interest rate risk. Management’s philosophy toward interest rate risk management is to limit the variability of net interest income. The balances of financial instruments used in the projections are based on expected growth from forecasted business opportunities, anticipated prepayments of loans and investment securities, and expected maturities of investment securities, loans and deposits. Management uses a “value of equity” model to supplement the modeling technique described above. Those supplemental analyses are based on discounted cash flows associated with on- and off-balance sheet financial instruments. Such analyses are modeled to reflect changes in interest rates and provide management with a long-term interest rate risk metric.

The Company’s Asset-Liability Committee, which includes members of senior management, monitors the sensitivity of the Company’s net interest income to changes in interest rates with the aid of a computer model that forecasts net interest income under different interest rate scenarios. In modeling changing interest rates, the Company considers different yield curve shapes that consider both parallel (that is, simultaneous changes in interest rates at each point on the yield curve) and non-parallel (that is, allowing interest rates at points on the yield curve to vary by different amounts) shifts in the yield curve. In utilizing the model, projections of net interest income calculated under the varying interest rate scenarios are compared to a base interest rate scenario that is reflective of current interest rates. The model considers the impact of ongoing lending and deposit-gathering activities, as well as interrelationships in the magnitude and timing of the repricing of financial instruments, including the effect of changing interest rates on expected prepayments and maturities. When deemed prudent, management has taken actions to mitigate exposure to interest rate risk through the use of on- or off-balance sheet financial instruments and intends to do so in the future. Possible actions include, but are not limited to, changes in the pricing of loan and deposit products, modifying the composition of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, and adding to, modifying or terminating existing interest rate swap agreements or other financial instruments used for interest rate risk management purposes.

The accompanying table as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 displays the estimated impact on net interest income from non-trading financial instruments in the base scenario described above resulting from parallel changes in interest rates across repricing categories during the first modeling year.

+100 basis points		168,194			145,169
-50 basis points		(118,987	)		(99,603	)

The Company utilized many assumptions to calculate the impact that changes in interest rates may have on net interest income. The more significant of those assumptions included the rate of prepayments of mortgage-related assets, cash flows from derivative and other financial instruments held for non-trading purposes, loan and deposit volumes and pricing, and deposit maturities. In the scenarios presented, the Company also assumed gradual increases in interest rates during a twelve-month period of 100 and 200 basis points, as compared with the assumed base scenario, as well as a gradual decrease of 50 basis points. In the declining rate scenario, the rate changes may be limited to lesser amounts such that interest rates remain positive at all points on the yield curve. In 2016, the Company suspended the -100 basis point scenario due to the persistent low level of interest rates. This scenario will be reinstated if and when interest rates rise sufficiently to make the analysis more meaningful. The assumptions used in interest rate sensitivity modeling are inherently uncertain and, as a result, the Company cannot precisely predict the impact of changes in interest rates on net interest income. Actual results may differ significantly from those presented due to the timing, magnitude and frequency of changes in interest rates and changes in market conditions and interest rate differentials (spreads) between maturity/repricing categories, as well as any actions, such as those previously described, which management may take to counter such changes.

Changes in fair value of the Company’s financial instruments can also result from a lack of trading activity for similar instruments in the financial markets. That impact is most notable on the values assigned to some of the Company’s investment securities. Information about the fair valuation of investment securities is presented herein under the heading “Capital” and in notes 3 and 12 of Notes to Financial Statements.

The Company engages in limited trading account activities to meet the financial needs of customers and to fund the Company’s obligations under certain deferred compensation plans. Financial instruments utilized in trading account activities consist predominantly of interest rate contracts, such as swap agreements, and forward and futures contracts related to foreign currencies. The Company generally mitigates the foreign currency and interest rate risk associated with trading account activities by entering into offsetting trading positions that are also included in the trading account. The fair values of the offsetting trading account positions associated with interest rate contracts and foreign currency and other option and futures contracts are presented in note 10 of Notes to Financial Statements. The amounts of gross and net trading account positions, as well as the type of trading account activities conducted by the Company, are subject to a well-defined series of potential loss exposure limits established by management and approved by M&T’s Board of Directors. However, as with any non-government guaranteed financial instrument, the Company is exposed to credit risk associated with counterparties to the Company’s trading account activities.

The notional amounts of interest rate contracts entered into for trading account purposes totaled $20.1 billion at June 30, 2016, compared with $17.2 billion at June 30, 2015 and $18.4 billion at December 31, 2015. The notional amounts of foreign currency and other option and futures contracts entered into for trading account purposes aggregated $826 million at June 30, 2016, compared with $1.6 billion at each of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2015. Although the notional amounts of these contracts are not recorded in the consolidated balance sheet, the fair values of all financial instruments used for trading account activities are recorded in the consolidated balance sheet. The fair values of all trading account assets and liabilities totaled $506 million and $353 million, respectively, at June 30, 2016, $277 million and $172 million, respectively, at June 30, 2015, and $274 million and $161 million, respectively, at December 31, 2015. Included in trading account assets were assets related to deferred compensation plans totaling $22 million at June 30, 2016 and $24 million at each of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2015. Changes in the fair value of such assets are recorded as “trading account and foreign exchange gains” in the consolidated statement of income. Included in “other liabilities” in the consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2016 were $26 million of liabilities related to deferred compensation plans, compared with $28 million at each of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2015. Changes in the balances of such liabilities due to the valuation of allocated investment options to which the liabilities are indexed are recorded in “other costs of operations” in the consolidated statement of income. Also included in trading account assets were investments in mutual funds and other assets that the Company was required to hold under terms of certain non-qualified supplemental retirement and other benefit plans that were assumed by the Company in various acquisitions. Those assets totaled $40 million, $25 million and $33 million at June 30, 2016, June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

Given the Company’s policies, limits and positions, management believes that the potential loss exposure to the Company resulting from market risk associated with trading account activities was not material, however, as previously noted, the Company is exposed to credit risk associated with counterparties to transactions related to the Company’s trading account activities. Additional information about the Company’s use of derivative financial instruments in its trading account activities is included in note 10 of Notes to Financial Statements.

Provision for Credit Losses

The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses that in management’s judgment appropriately reflects losses inherent in the loan and lease portfolio. A provision for credit losses is recorded to adjust the level of the allowance as deemed necessary by management. The provision for credit losses was $32 million in the second quarter of 2016, compared with $30 million in the second quarter of 2015 and $49 million in the initial 2016 quarter. For the six-month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, the provision for credit losses was $81 million and $68 million, respectively. Net charge-offs of loans were $24 million in the recently completed quarter, compared with $21 million in the year-earlier quarter and $42 million in the first quarter of 2016. Net charge-offs as an annualized percentage of average loans and leases were .11% in the recent quarter, compared with .13% in the year-earlier quarter and .19% in the initial 2016 quarter. Net charge-offs for the six-month periods ended June 30 aggregated $66 million in 2016 and $58 million in 2015, representing an annualized rate of .15% and .17% of average loans and leases in those respective periods. A summary of net charge-offs by loan type is presented in the table that follows.

Reflected in net charge-offs of commercial loans and leases in the recent quarter was a $7 million recovery of a previously charged-off loan. Included in net charge-offs of consumer loans were net charge-offs during the quarters ended June 30, 2016, June 30, 2015 and March 31, 2016, respectively, of: automobile loans of $6 million, $2 million and $11 million; recreational vehicle loans of $3 million, $2 million and $12 million; and home equity loans and lines of credit of $4 million, $3 million and $5 million. During the first two quarters of 2016, the Company charged off consumer loans associated with customers who were either deceased or had filed for bankruptcy that, in accordance with GAAP, had previously been considered when determining the level of the allowance for credit losses. Such charge-offs totaled $5 million in the recent quarter and $14 million in the initial 2016 quarter and included $2 million and $11 million, respectively, of loan balances with a current payment status at the time of charge-off. In addition, reflected in consumer loan charge-offs in the recent quarter was a $6 million charge-off of a personal usage loan.

Loans acquired in connection with acquisition transactions subsequent to 2008 were recorded at fair value with no carry-over of any previously recorded allowance for credit losses. Determining the fair value of acquired loans requires estimating cash flows expected to be collected on the loans and discounting those cash flows at then-current interest rates. For acquired loans where fair value was less than outstanding principal as of the acquisition date and the resulting discount was due, at least in part, to credit deterioration, the excess of expected cash flows over the carrying value of the loans is recognized as interest income over the lives of the loans. The difference between contractually required payments and the cash flows expected to be collected is referred to as the nonaccretable balance and is not recorded on the consolidated balance sheet. The nonaccretable balance reflects estimated future credit losses and other contractually required payments that the Company does not expect to collect. The Company regularly evaluates the reasonableness of its cash flow projections associated with such loans. Any decreases to the expected cash flows require the Company to evaluate the need for an additional allowance for credit losses and could lead to charge-offs of

-70-

loan balances. Any significant increases in expected cash flows result in additional interest income to be recognized over the then-remaining lives of the loans. The carrying amount of loans acquired at a discount subsequent to 2008 and accounted for based on expected cash flows was $2.2 billion at each of June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2015 and $2.5 billion at December 31, 2015. The decrease in the recent quarter as compared with December 31, 2015 was largely attributable to payments received. The nonaccretable balance related to remaining principal losses associated with loans acquired at a discount as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 is presented in the accompanying table.

NONACCRETABLE BALANCE - PRINCIPAL

For acquired loans where the fair value exceeded the outstanding principal balance, the resulting premium is recognized as a reduction of interest income over the lives of the loans. Immediately following the acquisition date and thereafter, an allowance for credit losses is recorded for incurred losses inherent in the portfolio, consistent with the accounting for originated loans and leases. The carrying amount of Hudson City loans acquired at a premium was $16.1 billion and $17.8 billion at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. A $21 million provision for credit losses was recorded in the fourth quarter of 2015 for incurred losses inherent in those loans. GAAP does not allow the credit loss component of the net premium associated with those loans to be bifurcated and accounted for as a nonaccreting balance as is the case with purchased impaired loans and other loans acquired at a discount. Despite the fact that the determination of aggregate fair value reflects the impact of expected credit losses, GAAP provides that incurred losses in a portfolio of loans acquired at a premium be recognized even though in a relatively homogenous portfolio of residential mortgage loans the specific loans to which the losses relate cannot be individually identified at the acquisition date.

Nonaccrual loans totaled $849 million or .96% of total loans and leases outstanding at June 30, 2016, compared with $797 million or 1.17% a year earlier, $799 million or .91% at December 31, 2015 and $877 million or 1.00% at March 31, 2016. The increase in nonaccrual loans at the two most recent quarter-ends as compared with June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2015 reflects the normal migration of $113 million of previously performing residential real estate loans obtained in the acquisition of Hudson City that became over 90 days past due during the first six months of 2016 and, as such, were not identifiable as purchased impaired as of the acquisition date.

Accruing loans past due 90 days or more (excluding loans acquired at a discount) totaled $298 million or .34% of total loans and leases at June 30, 2016, compared with $239 million or .35% at June 30, 2015, $317 million or .36% at December 31, 2015 and $336 million or .38% at March 31, 2016. Those loans included loans guaranteed by government-related entities of $270 million, $207 million, $276 million and $279 million at June 30, 2016, June 30, 2015, December 31, 2015 and March 31, 2016, respectively. Such guaranteed loans obtained in the acquisition of Hudson City totaled $45 million at June 30, 2016 and $44 million at each of December 31, 2015 and

-71-

March 31, 2016. Guaranteed loans also included one-to-four family residential mortgage loans serviced by the Company that were repurchased to reduce associated servicing costs, including a requirement to advance principal and interest payments that had not been received from individual mortgagors. Despite the loans being purchased by the Company, the insurance or guarantee by the applicable government-related entity remains in force. The outstanding principal balances of the repurchased loans that are guaranteed by government-related entities totaled $218 million at June 30, 2016, $195 million at June 30, 2015, $221 million at December 31, 2015 and $226 million at March 31, 2016. The remaining accruing loans past due 90 days or more not guaranteed by government-related entities were loans considered to be with creditworthy borrowers that were in the process of collection or renewal.

Purchased impaired loans are loans obtained in acquisition transactions subsequent to 2008 that as of the acquisition date were specifically identified as displaying signs of credit deterioration and for which the Company did not expect to collect all outstanding principal and contractually required interest payments. Those loans were impaired at the date of acquisition, were recorded at estimated fair value and were generally delinquent in payments, but, in accordance with GAAP, the Company continues to accrue interest income on such loans based on the estimated expected cash flows associated with the loans. The carrying amount of such loans was $662 million at June 30, 2016, or approximately .7% of total loans. Of that amount, $582 million was related to the Hudson City acquisition. Purchased impaired loans totaled $169 million and $768 million at June 30 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

Accruing loans acquired at a discount past due 90 days or more are loans that could not be specifically identified as impaired as of the acquisition date, but were recorded at estimated fair value as of such date. Such loans totaled $69 million at June 30, 2016, compared with $79 million at June 30, 2015 and $68 million at December 31, 2015.

In an effort to assist borrowers, the Company modified the terms of select loans. If the borrower was experiencing financial difficulty and a concession was granted, the Company considered such modifications as troubled debt restructurings. Loan modifications included such actions as the extension of loan maturity dates and the lowering of interest rates and monthly payments. The objective of the modifications was to increase loan repayments by customers and thereby reduce net charge-offs. In accordance with GAAP, the modified loans are included in impaired loans for purposes of determining the level of the allowance for credit losses. Information about modifications of loans that are considered troubled debt restructurings is included in note 4 of Notes to Financial Statements.

Residential real estate loans modified under specified loss mitigation programs prescribed by government guarantors have not been included in renegotiated loans because the loan guarantee remains in full force and, accordingly, the Company has not granted a concession with respect to the ultimate collection of the original loan balance. Such loans aggregated $162 million, $156 million and $147 million at June 30, 2016, June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

Nonaccrual commercial loans and leases aggregated $241 million at June 30, 2016, $210 million at June 30, 2015, $242 million at December 31, 2015 and $280 million at March 31, 2016. The largest commercial loans placed in nonaccrual status since June 30, 2015 were a $21 million relationship with a commercial maintenance services provider with operations in New Jersey and

-72-

Pennsylvania that was placed in nonaccrual status in the third quarter of 2015 and a $37 million relationship with a multi-regional manufacturer of refractory brick and other cast-able products placed in nonaccrual status in the first quarter of 2016. The decline in nonaccrual commercial loans from March 31 to June 30, 2016 was due largely to payments received on such loans.

Commercial real estate loans classified as nonaccrual totaled $218 million at June 30, 2016, $246 million at June 30, 2015 and $224 million at each of December 31, 2015 and March 31, 2016. Nonaccrual commercial real estate loans included construction-related loans of $46 million, $78 million, $45 million and $53 million at June 30, 2016, June 30, 2015, December 31, 2015 and March 31, 2016, respectively. Those nonaccrual construction loans included loans to residential builders and developers of $24 million, $57 million, $28 million and $32 million at June 30, 2016, June 30, 2015, December 31, 2015 and March 31, 2016, respectively. Information about the location of nonaccrual and charged-off loans to residential real estate builders and developers as of and for the three-month period ended June 30, 2016 is presented in the accompanying table.

(b)

Includes approximately $15 million of loans not secured by real estate, of which approximately $2 million are in nonaccrual status.

Residential real estate loans in nonaccrual status at June 30, 2016 were $282 million, compared with $233 million at June 30, 2015, $215 million at December 31, 2015 and $263 million at March 31, 2016. The increase in residential real estate loans classified as nonaccrual at the two most recent quarter-ends as compared with December 31, 2015 reflects the normal migration of previously performing loans obtained with the acquisition of Hudson City that became more than 90 days delinquent during the first six months of 2016. Such loans increased nonaccrual residential real estate loans by $79 million at March 31, 2016 and by $113 million at June 30, 2016. Those loans could not be identified as purchased impaired loans at the acquisition date because the borrowers were making current loan payments at the time and the loans were not recorded at a discount. Included in residential real estate loans classified as nonaccrual were limited documentation first mortgage loans of $79 million, $68 million, $62 million and $76 million at June 30, 2016, June 30, 2015, December 31, 2015 and March 31, 2016 respectively. Limited documentation first mortgage loans represent loans secured by residential real estate that at origination typically included some form of limited borrower documentation requirements as compared with more traditional loans.

-73-

Such loans in the Company’s portfolio prior to the Hudson City transaction were originated by the Company before 2008. Hudson City discontinued its limited documentation loan program in January 2014. Residential real estate loans past due 90 days or more and accruing interest (excluding loans acquired at a discount) totaled $271 million (including $46 million obtained in the acquisition of Hudson City) at June 30, 2016, compared with $207 million at June 30, 2015, $284 million at December 31, 2015 and $279 million at March 31, 2016. A substantial portion of such amounts related to guaranteed loans repurchased from government-related entities. Information about the location of nonaccrual and charged-off residential real estate loans as of and for the quarter ended June 30, 2016 is presented in the accompanying table.

Nonaccrual consumer loans totaled $108 million at each of June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2015, $118 million at December 31, 2015 and $110 million at March 31, 2016. Included in nonaccrual consumer loans at June 30, 2016, June 30, 2015, December 31, 2015 and March 31, 2016 were: automobile loans of $12 million, $15 million, $17 million and $15 million, respectively; recreational vehicle loans of $5 million, $8 million, $9 million and $10 million, respectively; and outstanding balances of home equity loans and lines of credit of $87 million, $78 million, $84 million and $79 million, respectively. Information about the location of nonaccrual and charged-off home equity loans and lines of credit as of and for the quarter ended June 30, 2016 is presented in the accompanying table.

Real estate and other foreclosed assets totaled $172 million at June 30, 2016, compared with $64 million at June 30, 2015, $195 million at December 31, 2015 and $188 million at March 31, 2016. The higher levels of real estate and other foreclosed assets at June 30, 2016, December 31, 2015 and March 31, 2016 reflect residential real estate properties associated with the Hudson City acquisition, which totaled $109 million, $126 million and $121 million at those respective dates. Gains or losses resulting from the sales of real estate and other foreclosed assets were not material in the three-month periods ended June 30, 2016, June 30, 2015 or March 31, 2016. At June 30, 2016, the Company’s holding of residential real estate-related properties comprised approximately 92% of foreclosed assets.

A comparative summary of nonperforming assets and certain past due loan data and credit quality ratios as of the end of the periods indicated is presented in the accompanying table.

Management determined the allowance for credit losses by performing ongoing evaluations of the loan and lease portfolio, including such factors as the differing economic risks associated with each loan category, the financial condition of specific borrowers, the economic environment in which borrowers operate, the level of delinquent loans, the value of any collateral and, where applicable, the existence of any guarantees or indemnifications. Management evaluated the impact of changes in interest rates and overall economic conditions on the ability of borrowers to meet repayment obligations when quantifying the Company’s exposure to credit losses and the allowance for such losses as of each reporting date. Factors also considered by management when performing its assessment, in addition to general economic conditions and the other factors described above, included, but were not limited to: (i) the impact of residential real estate values on the Company’s portfolio of loans to residential real estate builders and developers and other loans secured by residential real estate; (ii) the concentrations of commercial real estate loans in the Company’s loan portfolio; (iii) the amount of commercial and industrial loans to businesses in areas of New York State outside of the New York City metropolitan area and in central Pennsylvania that have historically experienced less economic growth and vitality than the vast majority of other regions of the country; (iv) the expected repayment performance associated with the Company’s first and second lien loans secured by residential real estate, including loans obtained in the acquisition of Hudson City that were not classified as purchased impaired; and (v) the size of the Company’s portfolio of loans to individual consumers, which historically have experienced higher net charge-offs as a percentage of loans outstanding than other loan types. The level of the allowance is adjusted based on the results of management’s analysis.

Management cautiously and conservatively evaluated the allowance for credit losses as of June 30, 2016 in light of: (i) residential real estate values and the level of delinquencies of loans secured by residential real estate; (ii) economic conditions in the markets served by the Company; (iii) slower growth in private sector employment in upstate New York and central Pennsylvania than in other regions served by the Company and nationally; (iv) the significant subjectivity involved in commercial real estate valuations; and (v) the amount of loan growth experienced by the Company. While there has been general improvement in economic conditions, concerns continue to exist about the strength and sustainability of such improvements; the troubled state of global commodity and export markets, including the impact international economic conditions could have on the U.S. economy; Federal Reserve positioning of monetary policy; and continued stagnant population growth in the upstate New York and central Pennsylvania regions (approximately 55% of the Company’s loans are to customers in New York State and Pennsylvania).

The Company utilizes a loan grading system that is applied to all commercial loans and commercial real estate loans. Loan grades are utilized to differentiate risk within the portfolio and consider the expectations of

-77-

default for each loan. Commercial loans and commercial real estate 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 credit losses. Loans with an elevated level of credit risk are classified as “criticized” and are ascribed a higher loss factor when determining the allowance for credit losses. Criticized loans may be classified 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. Criticized commercial loans and commercial real estate loans were $2.4 billion at June 30, 2016, compared with $2.3 billion at each of June 30, 2015 and March 31, 2016 and $2.1 billion at December 31, 2015. The increase in criticized loan balances since December 31, 2015 reflected $206 million related to commercial real estate loans, including a $63 million loan to a retail outlet and a $56 million loan for condominium development, both in New York City. Approximately 97% of loan balances added to the criticized category during the recent quarter were less than 90 days past due and 95% had a current payment status.

Loan officers with the support of loan review personnel in different geographic locations are responsible to continuously review and reassign loan grades to pass and criticized loans based on their detailed knowledge of individual borrowers and their judgment of the impact on such borrowers resulting from changing conditions in their respective geographic regions. At least annually, updated financial information is obtained from commercial borrowers associated with pass grade loans and additional analysis is performed. On a quarterly basis, the Company’s centralized loan review department reviews all criticized commercial loans and commercial real estate loans greater than $1 million to determine the appropriateness of the assigned loan grade, including whether the loan should be reported as accruing or nonaccruing. For criticized nonaccrual loans, additional meetings are held with loan officers and their managers, workout specialists and senior management to discuss each of the relationships. In analyzing criticized loans, borrower-specific information is reviewed, including operating results, future cash flows, recent developments and the borrower’s outlook, and other pertinent data. The timing and extent of potential losses, considering collateral valuation and other factors, and the Company’s potential courses of action are reviewed. To the extent that these 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 classifying the loan as “criticized,” 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 value as determined by line of business and/or loan workout personnel in the respective geographic regions. Those adjustments are reviewed and assessed for reasonableness by the Company’s loan review department. Accordingly, for real estate collateral securing larger commercial and commercial real estate loans, estimated collateral values are 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. With regard to residential real estate loans, the Company’s loss identification and estimation techniques make reference to loan performance and house price data in specific areas of the country where collateral securing the Company’s residential real estate loans is located. For residential real estate-related 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

-78-

from external parties that are generally obtained shortly after a loan becomes nonaccrual. 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. At June 30, 2016, approximately 54% of the Company’s home equity portfolio consisted of first lien loans and lines of credit. Of the remaining junior lien loans in the portfolio, approximately 71% (or approximately 33% of the aggregate home equity portfolio) consisted of junior lien loans that were behind a first lien mortgage loan that was not owned or serviced by the Company. To the extent known by the Company, if a 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. At June 30, 2016, the balance of junior lien loans and lines that were in nonaccrual status solely as a result of first lien loan performance was $16 million, compared with $22 million at each of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2015 and $23 million at March 31, 2016. In monitoring the credit quality of its home equity portfolio for purposes of determining the allowance for credit losses, the Company reviews delinquency and nonaccrual information and considers recent charge-off experience. When evaluating individual home equity loans and lines of credit for charge off, if the Company does not know the amount of the remaining first lien mortgage loan (typically because the Company does not own or service the first lien loan), the Company assumes that the first lien mortgage loan has had no principal amortization since the origination of the junior lien loan. Similarly, data used in estimating incurred losses for purposes of determining the allowance for credit losses also assumes no reductions in outstanding principal of first lien loans since the origination of the junior lien loan. Home equity line of credit terms vary but such lines are generally originated with an open draw period of ten years followed by an amortization period of up to twenty years. At June 30, 2016, approximately 85% of all outstanding balances of home equity lines of credit related to lines that were still in the draw period, the weighted-average remaining draw periods were approximately five years, and approximately 9% were making contractually allowed payments that do not include repayment of principal.

Factors that influence the Company’s credit loss experience include overall economic conditions affecting businesses and consumers, generally, but also residential and commercial real estate valuations, in particular, given the size of the Company’s real estate loan portfolios. Commercial real estate valuations can be highly subjective, as they are based upon many assumptions. Such valuations can be significantly affected over relatively short periods of time by changes in business climate, economic conditions, interest rates, and, in many cases, the results of operations of businesses and other occupants of the real property. Similarly, residential real estate valuations can be impacted by housing trends, the availability of financing at reasonable interest rates, and general economic conditions affecting consumers.

In determining the allowance for credit losses, the Company estimates losses attributable to specific troubled credits identified through both normal and detailed or intensified credit review processes and also estimates losses inherent in other loans and leases. In quantifying incurred losses, the Company considers the factors and uses the techniques described herein and in note 4 of Notes to Financial Statements. For purposes of determining the level of the allowance for credit losses, the Company segments its loan and lease portfolio by loan type. The amount of specific loss components in the Company’s loan and lease portfolios is determined through a loan-by-loan analysis of commercial loans and commercial real estate loans in nonaccrual status. Measurement of the specific loss components is typically based on expected future cash flows, collateral values or other factors that may impact the borrower’s ability to pay. Losses associated with residential real estate loans and consumer loans are generally determined by reference to recent charge-off history and are evaluated (and adjusted if deemed appropriate) through consideration of other factors including near-term

-79-

forecasted loss estimates developed by the Company’s credit department. These forecasts give consideration to overall borrower repayment performance and current geographic region changes in collateral values using third party published historical price indices or automated valuation methodologies. With regard to collateral values, the realizability of such values by the Company contemplates repayment of any first lien position prior to recovering amounts on a junior lien position. Approximately 46% of the Company’s home equity portfolio consists of junior lien loans and lines of credit. Except for consumer loans and residential real estate loans that are considered smaller balance homogeneous loans and are evaluated collectively and loans obtained at a discount in acquisition transactions, the Company considers a loan to be impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement or the loan is delinquent 90 days or more and has been placed in nonaccrual status. Those impaired loans are evaluated for specific loss components. Modified loans, including smaller balance homogenous loans, that are considered to be troubled debt restructurings are evaluated for impairment giving consideration to the impact of the modified loan terms on the present value of the loan’s expected cash flows. Loans less than 90 days delinquent are deemed to have a minimal delay in payment and are generally not considered to be impaired. Loans acquired in connection with acquisition transactions subsequent to 2008 were recorded at fair value with no carry-over of any previously recorded allowance for credit losses. Determining the fair value of the acquired loans required estimating cash flows expected to be collected on the loans and discounting those cash flows at then-current interest rates. For loans acquired at a discount, the impact of estimated future credit losses represents the predominant difference between contractually required payments and the cash flows expected to be collected. Subsequent decreases to those expected cash flows require the Company to evaluate the need for an additional allowance for credit losses and could lead to charge-offs of acquired loan balances. Additional information regarding the Company’s process for determining the allowance for credit losses is included in note 4 of Notes to Financial Statements.

Management believes that the allowance for credit losses at June 30, 2016 appropriately reflected credit losses inherent in the portfolio as of that date. The allowance for credit losses was $970 million, or 1.10% of total loans and leases at June 30, 2016, compared with $930 million or 1.36% at June 30, 2015 and $956 million or 1.09% at December 31, 2015. The ratio of the allowance to total loans and leases at each respective date reflects the impact of loans obtained in acquisition transactions subsequent to 2008 that have been recorded at estimated fair value. As noted earlier, GAAP prohibits any carry-over of an allowance for credit losses for acquired loans recorded at fair value. However, for loans acquired at a premium, GAAP provides that an allowance for credit losses be recognized for incurred losses inherent in the portfolio. The declines in the ratio of the allowance to total loans and leases at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 as compared with June 30, 2015 reflects the impact of loans (predominantly residential real estate loans) obtained in the acquisition of Hudson City. The level of the allowance reflects management’s evaluation of the loan and lease portfolio using the methodology and considering the factors as described herein. Should the various credit factors considered by management in establishing the allowance for credit losses change and should management’s assessment of losses inherent in the loan portfolios also change, the level of the allowance as a percentage of loans could increase or decrease in future periods. The ratio of the allowance to nonaccrual loans at June 30, 2016 was 114%, compared with 117% a year earlier and 120% at December 31, 2015. Given the Company’s general position as a secured lender and its practice of charging-off loan balances when collection is deemed doubtful, that ratio and changes in that ratio are generally not an indicative measure of the adequacy of the Company’s allowance for credit losses, nor does management rely upon that ratio in assessing the adequacy of the allowance. The level of the allowance reflects management’s evaluation of the loan and lease portfolio as of each respective date.

Other Income

Other income totaled $448 million in the second quarter of 2016, compared with $497 million in the year-earlier quarter and $421 million in the first quarter of 2016. The increase in other income in the recent quarter as compared with the first quarter of 2016 resulted from higher trust income, mortgage banking revenues, and trading account and foreign exchange gains. The decline in the recent quarter as compared with the year-earlier quarter reflects a $45 million gain in the second quarter of 2015 from the divestiture of the trade processing business within the retirement services business of the Company and lower mortgage banking revenues that were partially offset by higher trading account and foreign exchange gains.

Mortgage banking revenues were $89 million in the recently completed quarter, down from $103 million in the second quarter of 2015 but improved from $82 million in the initial 2016 quarter. Mortgage banking revenues are comprised of both residential and commercial mortgage banking activities. The Company’s involvement in commercial mortgage banking activities includes the origination, sales and servicing of loans under the multi-family loan programs of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.

Residential mortgage banking revenues, consisting of realized gains from sales of residential real estate loans and loan servicing rights, unrealized gains and losses on residential real estate loans held for sale and related commitments, residential real estate loan servicing fees, and other residential real estate loan-related fees and income, were $65 million in the second quarter of 2016, compared with $75 million in the second quarter of 2015 and $60 million in the initial quarter of 2016. The lower level of residential mortgage banking revenues in the recent quarter as compared with the year-earlier quarter reflects declines in revenues associated with servicing residential real estate loans for others and lower gains from origination activities, while the increase from 2016’s first quarter was predominantly attributable to higher gains from origination activities, due primarily to increased volumes of loans originated for sale.

New commitments to originate residential real estate loans to be sold were approximately $858 million in the recent quarter, compared with $995 million and $659 million in the second quarter of 2015 and the first quarter of 2016, respectively. Realized gains from sales of residential real estate loans and loan servicing rights and recognized net unrealized gains and losses attributable to residential real estate loans held for sale, commitments to originate loans for sale and commitments to sell loans totaled to gains of $19 million in the recent quarter, compared with gains of $21 million in the second quarter of 2015 and $14 million in the first quarter of 2016.

The Company is contractually obligated to repurchase previously sold 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 purchasers for losses incurred or may repurchase certain loans. The Company reduces residential mortgage banking revenues for losses related to its obligations to loan purchasers. The amount of those charges varies 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. Residential mortgage banking revenues during each of the three-month periods ended June 30, 2016, June 30, 2015 and March 31, 2016 were reduced by approximately $1 million related to actual or anticipated settlement of repurchase obligations.

Loans held for sale that were secured by residential real estate totaled $374 million at June 30, 2016, $479 million at June 30, 2015 and $353 million at December 31, 2015. Commitments to sell residential real estate loans and commitments to originate residential real estate loans for sale at

-81-

pre-determined rates were $816 million and $638 million, respectively, at June 30, 2016, $930 million and $672 million, respectively, at June 30, 2015, and $687 million and $489 million, respectively, at December 31, 2015. Net recognized unrealized gains on residential real estate loans held for sale, commitments to sell loans, and commitments to originate loans for sale were $19 million at each of June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2015, compared with $16 million at December 31, 2015. Changes in such net unrealized gains are recorded in mortgage banking revenues and resulted in net increases in revenue of $3 million and $1 million in the recent quarter and the initial quarter of 2016, respectively, compared with a net decrease in revenue of $2 million in the second quarter of 2015.

Revenues from servicing residential real estate loans for others were $46 million in the recent quarter, compared with $53 million and $45 million during the quarters ended June 30, 2015 and March 31, 2016, respectively. The decline in the two most recent quarters as compared with the second quarter of 2015 reflects lower revenues from sub-servicing activities. Residential real estate loans serviced for others totaled $57.8 billion at June 30, 2016, compared with $66.5 billion at June 30, 2015, $61.7 billion at December 31, 2015 and $60.0 billion at March 31, 2016. Reflected in residential real estate loans serviced for others were loans sub-serviced for others of $34.6 billion at June 30, 2016, $42.3 billion at June 30, 2015, $37.8 billion at December 31, 2015 and $36.3 billion at March 31, 2016. Revenues earned for sub-servicing loans were $25 million and $30 million for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and $23 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2016. The contractual servicing rights associated with loans sub-serviced by the Company were predominantly held by affiliates of Bayview Lending Group LLC (“BLG”).

Capitalized servicing rights consist largely of servicing associated with loans sold by the Company. Capitalized residential mortgage loan servicing assets totaled $117 million at June 30, 2016, compared with $114 million a year earlier and $118 million at each of December 31, 2015 and March 31, 2016.

Commercial mortgage banking revenues were $24 million in the second quarter of 2016, compared with $28 million in the year-earlier period and $22 million in the first quarter of 2016. Included in such amounts were revenues from loan origination and sales activities of $14 million in the recent quarter, compared with $17 million and $12 million in the second quarter of 2015 and the initial 2016 quarter, respectively. Commercial real estate loans originated for sale to other investors totaled $567 million in the second quarter of 2016, compared with $890 million and $355 million in the year-earlier quarter and the first quarter of 2016, respectively. Loan servicing revenues were $10 million in each of the first two quarters of 2016, compared with $11 million in the second quarter of 2015. Capitalized commercial mortgage servicing assets totaled $86 million and $78 million at June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and $84 million at December 31, 2015. Commercial real estate loans serviced for other investors totaled $11.1 billion, $11.3 billion and $11.0 billion at June 30, 2016, June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2015, respectively, and included $2.6 billion, $2.5 billion and $2.5 billion, respectively, of loan balances for which investors had recourse to the Company if such balances are ultimately uncollectible. Commitments to sell commercial real estate loans and commitments to originate commercial real estate loans for sale were $340 million and $112 million, respectively, at June 30, 2016, $425 million and $105 million, respectively, at June 30, 2015 and $96 million and $58 million, respectively, at December 31, 2015. Commercial real estate loans held for sale at June 30, 2016, June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2015 were $228 million, $320 million and $39 million, respectively.

Service charges on deposit accounts totaled $104 million in the second quarter of 2016, compared with $105 million and $102 million in the second quarter of 2015 and the first quarter of 2016, respectively. The higher

-82-

level of fees in the recent quarter as compared with the first quarter of 2016 was due to higher consumer deposit service fees.

Trust income includes fees related to two significant businesses. The Institutional Client Services (“ICS”) business 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 who: (i) use capital markets financing structures; (ii) use independent trustees to hold retirement plan and other assets; and (iii) need investment and cash management services. The Wealth Advisory Services (“WAS”) business helps high net worth clients grow their wealth, protect it, and transfer it to their heirs. A comprehensive array of wealth management services are offered, including asset management, fiduciary services and family office services. Trust income totaled $120 million in the second quarter of 2016, compared with $119 million in the second quarter of 2015 and $111 million in the first quarter of 2016. Revenues associated with the ICS business were approximately $58 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2016, compared with $52 million in each of the quarters ended June 30, 2015 and March 31, 2016. The higher ICS revenue in the most recent quarter as compared with the second quarter of 2015 and the first quarter of 2016 reflects stronger sales activities and higher fees earned from money-market mutual funds. Revenues attributable to WAS were approximately $55 million and $58 million for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and $51 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2016. The decline in such recent quarter revenues as compared with the second quarter of 2015 was due largely to lower customer balances and market performance. The improvement in WAS revenues as compared with the initial 2016 quarter was largely due to annual tax preparation fees recognized in the recent quarter and improved market performance impacting customer balances. Total trust assets, which include assets under management and assets under administration, aggregated $203.6 billion at June 30, 2016, compared with $205.0 billion and $199.2 billion at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2015, respectively. Trust assets under management were $67.0 billion, $68.3 billion and $66.7 billion at June 30, 2016, June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2015, respectively. Additional trust income from investment management activities totaled $7 million in the recent quarter, $9 million in the second quarter of 2015 and $8 million in the first quarter of 2016. That income largely relates to fees earned from retail customer investment accounts and from an affiliated investment manager. Assets managed by that affiliated manager were $6.7 billion at June 30, 2016, $8.5 billion at June 30, 2015 and $7.1 billion at December 31, 2015. The Company’s trust income from that affiliate was not material for any of the quarters then-ended. The Company’s proprietary mutual funds had assets of $11.2 billion, $11.9 billion and $12.2 billion at June 30, 2016, June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

Brokerage services income, which includes revenues from the sale of mutual funds and annuities and securities brokerage fees, totaled $16 million in each of the two most recent quarters, little changed from $17 million in the second quarter of 2015. Gains from trading account and foreign exchange activity totaled $13 million in the second quarter of 2016, compared with $6 million in the year-earlier quarter and $7 million in the first quarter of 2016. The recent quarter increase as compared with those earlier periods resulted predominantly from higher activity related to interest rate swap transactions executed on behalf of commercial customers. Information about the notional amount of interest rate, foreign exchange and other contracts entered into by the Company for trading account purposes is included in note 10 of Notes to Financial Statements and herein under the heading “Taxable-equivalent Net Interest Income.”

Other revenues from operations totaled $105 million in the second quarter of 2016, compared with $148 million in the year-earlier quarter and $102 million in the first quarter of 2016. The decrease in the recent quarter as compared with the year-earlier quarter reflects the $45 million

-83-

gain associated with the April 2015 sale of the trade processing business in the retirement services division. Included in other revenues from operations were the following significant components. Letter of credit and other credit-related fees totaled $30 million in the recent quarter, compared with $37 million in the second quarter of 2015 and $28 million in the first quarter of 2016. The higher revenues in 2015’s second quarter were largely attributable to fees for providing loan syndication services. Tax-exempt income from bank owned life insurance, which includes increases in the cash surrender value of life insurance policies and benefits received, totaled $13 million during the recent quarter, compared with $15 million in the second quarter of 2015 and $16 million in the first quarter of 2016. Revenues from merchant discount and credit card fees were $27 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2016, compared with $26 million in each of the quarters ended June 30, 2015 and March 31, 2016. Insurance-related sales commissions and other revenues totaled $9 million in the second quarter of 2016, compared with $8 million in the year-earlier quarter and $12 million in the first quarter of 2016. The 2016 initial quarter reflects seasonally higher revenues. M&T’s share of the operating losses of BLG recognized using the equity method of accounting was $3 million in each of the second quarters of 2016 and 2015 and $4 million in the first quarter of 2016. Information about the Company’s relationship with BLG and its affiliates is included in note 15 of Notes to Financial Statements. Other miscellaneous revenues and the changes in such revenues from period-to-period were not individually significant.

Other income totaled $869 million in the first half of 2016, compared with $937 million in the year-earlier period. Excluding the gain on the divestiture of the trade processing business, other income aggregated $892 million in the first six months of 2015. The most significant contributors to the decrease in other income during the 2016 period were lower mortgage banking revenues and trust income offset, in part, by higher gains from trading account and foreign exchange activity.

Mortgage banking revenues were $171 million during the first half of 2016, compared with $204 million in the year-earlier period. Residential mortgage banking revenues totaled $124 million in the first six months of 2016, down from $154 million in the first half of 2015. New commitments to originate residential real estate loans to be sold were $1.5 billion and $1.9 billion during the first six months of 2016 and 2015, respectively. Realized gains from sales of residential real estate loans and loan servicing rights and recognized unrealized gains and losses on residential real estate loans held for sale, commitments to originate loans for sale and commitments to sell loans totaled to gains of $33 million and $42 million during the six-month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Revenues from servicing residential mortgage loans for others were $91 million and $111 million for the first six months of 2016 and 2015, respectively. That decline was attributable to lower sub-servicing revenues that totaled $48 million and $65 million in the 2016 and 2015 periods, respectively. The decline in servicing revenues resulted from lower balances of loans serviced for others. Commercial mortgage banking revenues totaled $47 million and $51 million during the six-month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. That decrease resulted predominantly from revenues associated with loan origination and sales activities. Commercial real estate loans originated for sale to other investors were $922 million in the first half of 2016, compared with $1.3 billion in the similar 2015 period.

Service charges on deposit accounts totaled $206 million and $208 million during the six-month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Trust income aggregated $232 million in the first half of 2016, compared with $242 million in the year-earlier period. That decline was largely attributable to revenues of $9 million associated with the trade processing business sold in April 2015 that were recognized in the first quarter of 2015. Brokerage services income totaled $32 million during each of the first six months of 2016 and 2015. Trading account and foreign exchange activity resulted in gains of $21 million and $12 million for the six-month

-84-

periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. That increase was predominantly the result of higher activity related to interest rate swap transactions executed on behalf of commercial customers.

Other revenues from operations were $207 million in the first half of 2016 and $239 million in the year-earlier period. Excluding the $45 million gain on sale of the trade processing business, other revenues from operations were $194 million for the first half of 2015. Included in other revenues from operations were the following significant components. Letter of credit and other credit-related fees totaled $58 million in 2016 and $63 million in 2015. Income from bank owned life insurance was $29 million and $26 million in 2016 and 2015, respectively. Merchant discount and credit card fees aggregated $53 million in 2016 and $50 million in 2015. Insurance-related sales commissions and other revenues totaled $22 million and $19 million in the first six months of 2016 and 2015, respectively. M&T’s investment in BLG resulted in losses of $6 million and $7 million for the first half of 2016 and 2015, respectively. Also contributing to the increase in other revenues from operations in the first half of 2016 as compared with the year-earlier period were higher corporate advisory fees of $4 million.

Other Expense

Other expense totaled $750 million in the second quarter of 2016, compared with $697 million in the year-earlier quarter and $776 million in the first quarter of 2016. Included in those amounts are expenses considered by management to be “nonoperating” in nature consisting of (i) amortization of core deposit and other intangible assets of $11 million in the most recent quarter, $6 million in the second quarter of 2015 and $12 million in the first quarter of 2016 and (ii) merger-related expenses of $13 million in the second quarter of 2016 and $23 million in the first quarter of 2016. There were no merger-related expenses during the second quarter of 2015. Exclusive of those nonoperating expenses, noninterest operating expenses totaled $726 million in the second quarter of 2016, compared with $691 million in the year-earlier quarter and $741 million in the first quarter of 2016. The most significant factors for the higher level of operating expenses in the recent quarter as compared with the second quarter of 2015 was the impact of operations obtained in the Hudson City acquisition and increased Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) assessments, which were partially offset by a $40 million cash contribution to The M&T Charitable Foundation in the second quarter of 2015. The recent quarter’s lower level of noninterest operating expenses as compared with 2016’s first quarter was due, in large part, to a decline in personnel costs, including stock-based compensation, which were seasonably higher in the initial 2016 period, offset, in part, by higher professional services costs.

Other expense for the first six months of 2016 aggregated $1.53 billion, compared with $1.38 billion in the year-earlier period. Included in those amounts are expenses considered to be “nonoperating” in nature consisting of amortization of core deposit and other intangible assets of $24 million and $13 million in the six-month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and merger-related expenses of $36 million in the first half of 2016. There were no merger-related expenses during the first half of 2015. Exclusive of those nonoperating expenses, noninterest operating expenses for the six-month period ended June 30, 2016 increased 7% to $1.47 billion from $1.37 billion in the first six months of 2015. That $96 million increase was attributable to costs associated with acquired operations of Hudson City. Table 2 provides a reconciliation of other expense to noninterest operating expense.

Salaries and employee benefits expense totaled $399 million in the recent quarter, compared with $362 million in the second quarter of 2015 and $432 million in the initial 2016 quarter. During the first six months of 2016 and 2015, salaries and employee benefits expense aggregated $830 million and $752 million, respectively. As compared with the 2015 periods,

-85-

the increases during the three months and six months ended June 30, 2016 were predominantly the result of additional employees associated with the Company’s expanded operations and annual merit increases for employees. The higher level of salaries and employee benefits expense in 2016’s initial quarter as compared with the recent quarter reflects the accelerated recognition of compensation costs in the earlier quarter for stock-based awards granted to retirement-eligible employees as well as the seasonally higher unemployment insurance, payroll-related taxes and the Company’s contributions for retirement savings plan benefits related to annual incentive compensation payments. Stock-based compensation totaled $17 million during each of quarters ended June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2015 and $29 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2016, and $45 million and $44 million for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The number of full-time equivalent employees was 16,814 at June 30, 2016, 15,380 at June 30, 2015, 16,979 at December 31, 2015 and 16,718 at March 31, 2016.

Excluding the nonoperating expenses described earlier from each quarter, nonpersonnel operating expenses were $327 million and $329 million in the quarters ended June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2015, respectively, and $314 million in the first quarter of 2016. On the same basis, such expenses were $641 million and $619 million during the first six months of 2016 and 2015, respectively. The expenses in the 2016 periods as compared with the 2015 periods reflected higher equipment and net occupancy expenses and increased FDIC assessments, each due largely to the impact of the acquisition of Hudson City, partially offset by a $40 million cash contribution made in the second quarter of 2015 to The M&T Charitable Foundation. As compared with the initial 2016 quarter, the recent quarter increase in nonpersonnel operating expenses was largely the result of higher costs for professional services.

The efficiency ratio measures the relationship of noninterest operating expenses to revenues. The Company’s efficiency ratio was 55.1% during the recent quarter, compared with 58.2% during the second quarter of 2015 and 57.0% in the first quarter of 2016. The efficiency ratios for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 were 56.0% and 59.8%, respectively. The calculation of the efficiency ratio is presented in table 2.

Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes for the second quarter of 2016 was $194 million, compared with $167 million in the year-earlier quarter and $169 million in the first quarter of 2016. The effective tax rates were 36.6%, 36.8% and 36.2% for the quarters ended June 30, 2016, June 30, 2015 and March 31, 2016, respectively. For the six-month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, the effective tax rates were 36.4% and 36.3%, respectively. The effective tax rate is affected by the level of income earned that is exempt from tax relative to the overall level of pre-tax income, the level of income allocated to the various state and local jurisdictions where the Company operates, because tax rates differ among such jurisdictions, and the impact of any large but infrequently occurring items.

The Company’s effective tax rate in future periods will be affected by the results of operations allocated to the various tax jurisdictions within which the Company operates, any change in income tax laws or regulations within those jurisdictions, and interpretations of income tax regulations that differ from the Company’s interpretations by any of various tax authorities that may examine tax returns filed by M&T or any of its subsidiaries.

Capital

Shareholders’ equity was $16.5 billion at June 30, 2016, representing 13.30% of total assets, compared with $12.7 billion or 13.05% at June 30, 2015 and $16.2 billion or 13.17% at December 31, 2015.

Included in shareholders’ equity was preferred stock with a financial statement carrying value of $1.2 billion at each of June 30, 2016, June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2015. Further information concerning M&T’s preferred stock can be found in note 6 of Notes to Financial Statements.

Common shareholders’ equity aggregated $15.2 billion, or $96.49 per share, at June 30, 2016, compared with $11.4 billion, or $85.90 per share, a year earlier and $14.9 billion, or $93.60 per share, at December 31, 2015. In conjunction with the acquisition of Hudson City, M&T issued 25,953,950 common shares, which added $3.1 billion to common shareholders’ equity on November 1, 2015. Tangible equity per common share, which excludes goodwill and core deposit and other intangible assets and applicable deferred tax balances, was $66.95 at June 30, 2016, $59.39 at June 30, 2015 and $64.28 at December 31, 2015. The Company’s ratio of tangible common equity to tangible assets was 8.87% at June 30, 2016, compared with 8.45% a year earlier and 8.69% at December 31, 2015. Reconciliations of total common shareholders’ equity and tangible common equity and total assets and tangible assets as of each of those respective dates are presented in table 2.

Shareholders’ equity reflects accumulated other comprehensive income or loss, which includes the net after-tax impact of unrealized gains or losses on investment securities classified as available for sale, unrealized losses on held-to-maturity securities for which an other-than-temporary impairment charge has been recognized, gains or losses associated with interest rate swap agreements designated as cash flow hedges, foreign currency translation adjustments and adjustments to reflect the funded status of defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans. Net unrealized gains on investment securities, net of applicable tax effect, were $193 million, or $1.22 per common share, at June 30, 2016, compared with net unrealized gains of $80 million, or $.60 per common share, at June 30, 2015 and $48 million, or $.30 per common share, at December 31, 2015. The higher unrealized gains at the recent quarter-end as compared with December 31, 2015 resulted largely from lower market yields on the securities in the investment portfolio. Information about unrealized gains and losses as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 is included in note 3 of Notes to Financial Statements.

Reflected in net unrealized gains at June 30, 2016 were pre-tax effect unrealized losses of $26 million on available-for-sale investment securities with an amortized cost of $399 million and pre-tax effect unrealized gains of $366 million on securities with an amortized cost of $11.2 billion. The pre-tax effect unrealized losses reflect $22 million of losses on trust preferred securities issued by financial institutions having an amortized cost of $125 million and an estimated fair value of $103 million (generally considered Level 2 valuations). Further information concerning the Company’s valuations of available-for-sale investment securities is provided in note 12 of Notes to Financial Statements.

As of June 30, 2016, based on a review of each of the securities in the investment securities portfolio, the Company concluded that the declines in the values of any securities containing an unrealized loss were temporary and that any additional other-than-temporary impairment charges were not appropriate. It is likely that the Company will be required to sell certain of its collateralized debt obligations backed by trust preferred securities held in the available-for-sale portfolio to comply with the provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act commonly referred to as the “Volcker Rule.” However, the amortized cost and fair value of those collateralized debt obligations were $24 million and $29 million, respectively, at June 30, 2016 and the Company does not expect that it would realize any material losses if it ultimately

was required to sell such securities. As of that date, the Company did not intend to sell nor is it anticipated that it would be required to sell any of its other impaired securities, that is, where fair value is less than the cost basis of the security. The Company intends to continue to closely monitor the performance of its securities because changes in their underlying credit performance or other events could cause the cost basis of those securities to become other-than-temporarily impaired. However, because the unrealized losses on available-for-sale investment securities have generally already been reflected in the financial statement values for investment securities and shareholders’ equity, any recognition of an other-than-temporary decline in value of those investment securities would not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial condition. Any other-than-temporary impairment charge related to held-to-maturity securities would result in reductions in the financial statement values for investment securities and shareholders’ equity. Additional information concerning fair value measurements and the Company’s approach to the classification of such measurements is included in note 12 of the Notes to Financial Statements.

The Company assesses impairment losses on privately issued mortgage-backed securities in the held-to-maturity portfolio by performing internal modeling to estimate bond-specific cash flows considering recent performance of the mortgage loan collateral and utilizing assumptions about future defaults and loss severity. These bond-specific cash flows also reflect the placement of the bond in the overall securitization structure and the remaining subordination levels. In total, at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company had in its held-to-maturity portfolio privately issued mortgage-backed securities with an amortized cost basis of $169 million and $181 million, respectively, and a fair value of $129 million and $142 million, respectively. At June 30, 2016, 85% of the mortgage-backed securities were in the most senior tranche of the securitization structure with 26% being independently rated as investment grade. The mortgage-backed securities are generally collateralized by residential and small-balance commercial real estate loans originated between 2004 and 2008 and had a weighted-average credit enhancement of 16% at June 30, 2016, calculated by dividing the remaining unpaid principal balance of bonds subordinate to the bonds owned by the Company plus any overcollateralization remaining in the securitization structure by the remaining unpaid principal balance of all bonds in the securitization structure. All mortgage-backed securities in the held-to-maturity portfolio had a current payment status as of June 30, 2016. The weighted-average default percentage and loss severity assumptions utilized in the Company’s internal modeling were 31% and 80%, respectively. The Company has concluded that as of June 30, 2016, its privately issued mortgage-backed securities were not other-than-temporarily impaired. Nevertheless, it is possible that adverse changes in the future performance of mortgage loan collateral underlying such securities could impact the Company’s conclusions.

Adjustments to reflect the funded status of defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans, net of applicable tax effect, reduced accumulated other comprehensive income by $289 million, or $1.83 per common share, at June 30, 2016, $295 million, or $2.22 per common share, at June 30, 2015 and $297 million, or $1.86 per common share, at December 31, 2015.

The Company did not repurchase any shares of its common stock during 2015. However, in accordance with its 2015 Capital Plan, M&T repurchased 948,545 common shares for $100 million in the first quarter of 2016 and 1,319,487 common shares for $154 million in the second quarter of 2016.

On June 29, 2016, M&T announced that the Federal Reserve did not object to M&T’s 2016 Capital Plan. That plan includes the repurchase of up to $1.15 billion of common shares during the four-quarter period starting on July 1, 2016 and an increase in the quarterly common stock dividend in the first quarter of 2017 of up to $.05 per share to $.75 per share. M&T may also continue to pay dividends and interest on other equity and debt instruments

-88-

included in regulatory capital, including preferred stock, trust preferred securities and subordinated debt that were outstanding at December 31, 2015, consistent with the contractual terms of those instruments. Dividends are subject to declaration by M&T’s Board of Directors. Furthermore, on July 19, 2016, M&T’s Board of Directors authorized a new stock repurchase program to repurchase up to $1.15 billion of shares of its common stock subject to all applicable regulatory reporting limitations, including those set forth in M&T’s 2016 Capital Plan. During July 2016, M&T repurchased 1,150,000 shares for $132 million in accordance with that program.

Cash dividends declared on M&T’s common stock totaled $111 million in the recent quarter, compared with $94 million and $112 million in the quarters ended June 30, 2015 and March 31, 2016, respectively, and represented a quarterly dividend payment of $.70 per common share in each of those periods. Common stock dividends during the six-month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 were $223 million and $187 million, respectively. Cash dividends declared on preferred stock aggregated $20 million in each of the second quarters of 2016 and 2015 and the first quarter of 2016.

M&T and its subsidiary banks are required to comply with applicable capital adequacy regulations established by the federal banking agencies. Pursuant to those regulations, the minimum capital ratios are as follows:

•

4.5% Common Equity Tier 1 (“CET1”) to risk-weighted assets (each as defined in the capital regulations);

•

6.0% Tier 1 capital (that is, CET1 plus Additional Tier 1 capital) to risk-weighted assets (each as defined in the capital regulations);

•

8.0% Total capital (that is, Tier 1 capital plus Tier 2 capital) to risk-weighted assets (each as defined in the capital regulations); and

•

4.0% Tier 1 capital to average consolidated assets as reported on consolidated financial statements (known as the “leverage ratio”), as defined in the regulation.

In addition, capital regulations provide for the phase-in of a “capital conservation buffer” composed entirely of CET1 on top of these minimum risk-weighted asset ratios. When fully phased-in on January 1, 2019 the capital conservation buffer will be 2.5%. For 2016, the phased-in transition portion of that buffer is .625%.

The regulatory capital ratios of the Company, M&T Bank and Wilmington Trust, N.A. as of June 30, 2016 are presented in the accompanying table.

The Company is also subject to the comprehensive regulatory framework applicable to bank and financial holding companies and their subsidiaries, which includes regular examinations by a number of federal regulators. Regulation of financial institutions such as M&T and its subsidiaries is intended primarily for the protection of depositors, the Deposit Insurance Fund of the FDIC and the banking and financial system as a whole, and generally is

-89-

not intended for the protection of shareholders, investors or creditors other than insured depositors. Changes in laws, regulations and regulatory policies applicable to the Company’s operations can increase or decrease the cost of doing business, limit or expand permissible activities or affect the competitive environment in which the Company operates, all of which could have a material effect on the business, financial condition or results of operations of the Company and in M&T’s ability to pay dividends. For additional information concerning this comprehensive regulatory framework, refer to Part I, Item 1 of M&T’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 and Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of that Form 10-K under the heading “Regulatory Oversight.”

On June 17, 2013, M&T and M&T Bank entered into a written agreement with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Under the terms of the agreement, M&T and M&T Bank were required to submit to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York a revised compliance risk management program designed to ensure compliance with the Bank Secrecy Act and anti-money-laundering laws and regulations (“BSA/AML”) and to take certain other steps to enhance their compliance practices. M&T and M&T Bank have since made substantial progress in implementing a BSA/AML program with significantly expanded scale and scope, as recognized by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System in its Order approving M&T and M&T Bank’s applications to acquire Hudson City and Hudson City Savings Bank. M&T and M&T Bank are continuing to work towards the resolution of all outstanding issues in the written agreement.

Segment Information

As required by GAAP, the Company’s reportable segments have been determined based upon its internal profitability reporting system, which is organized by strategic business unit. Financial information about the Company’s segments is presented in note 14 of Notes to Financial Statements. As disclosed in M&T’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, effective July 1, 2015, the Company changed its internal profitability reporting to move a builder and developer lending unit from the Residential Mortgage Banking segment to the Commercial Real Estate segment and, accordingly, the financial information for the Company’s reportable segments for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2015 have been restated to provide segment information on a comparable basis. Additionally, during the second quarter of 2016, the Company revised its funds transfer pricing allocation related to the residential real estate loans obtained in the acquisition of Hudson City, retroactive to November 1, 2015. Accordingly, financial information for the Discretionary Portfolio segment and the “All Other” category for the three-month period ended March 31, 2016 has been reclassified to conform to the current allocation methodology.

The Business Banking segment earned $23 million in the second quarter of 2016, compared with $25 million in each of the three-month periods ended June 30, 2015 and March 31, 2016. As compared with the year-earlier quarter, higher branch network allocated costs largely associated with the acquired Hudson City operations were partially offset by a $3 million increase in net interest income. The higher net interest income resulted largely from an increase in average outstanding deposit balances of $950 million. The decline in net income from 2016’s first quarter reflected an increase in advertising and promotional expenses and other operating expenses. Net income recorded by the Business Banking segment totaled $48 million in the first six months of 2016, compared with $50 million in the year-earlier period. That 4% year-over-year decline was attributable to higher allocated costs primarily associated with the acquired Hudson City branches, largely offset by a $7 million increase in net interest income and a $4 million decline in the provision for credit losses, due to lower net charge-offs. The improvement in net interest income primarily reflected an increase in average outstanding deposit balances of $1.1 billion.

-90-

The Commercial Banking segment recorded net income of $105 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2016, compared with $108 million in the year-earlier quarter and $101 million in the first quarter of 2016. The 2% decline in net income as compared with the second quarter of 2015 reflected higher volume-related and other costs related to data processing, risk management and other services that were partially offset by an $8 million increase in net interest income. The higher net interest income resulted from increases in average outstanding loan and deposit balances of $1.2 billion and $831 million, respectively, and a widening of the net interest margin on deposits of 10 basis points, partially offset by a narrowing of the net interest margin on loans of 7 basis points. The recent quarter’s 4% rise in net income as compared with the first quarter of 2016 was largely due to $5 million increases in each of corporate customer advisory fees and net interest income and a decline in the provision for credit losses of $4 million, due to lower net charge-offs. The higher net interest income largely reflects an increase in average outstanding loan balances of $710 million. Those favorable factors were offset, in part, by increases in FDIC assessments, data processing expenses, and other miscellaneous operating expenses. Net income earned by the Commercial Banking segment totaled $207 million for the first half of 2016, up slightly from $205 million earned in the similar 2015 period. That improvement reflected a $15 million rise in net interest income and an $8 million decline in the provision for credit losses. The higher net interest income resulted from higher average outstanding balances of loans and deposits of $1.2 billion and $501 million, respectively, and a widening of the net interest margin on deposits of 11 basis points, partially offset by a narrowing of the net interest margin on loans of 8 basis points. Those factors were largely offset by an increase in FDIC assessments of $6 million and higher allocated operating expenses associated with data processing, risk management and other support services provided to the Commercial Banking segment.

The Commercial Real Estate segment contributed net income of $84 million in the second quarter of 2016, compared with $83 million in the year-earlier period and $81 million in the first quarter of 2016. The modest improvement in net income as compared with the second quarter of 2015 reflects $5 million increases in each of net interest income and trading account and foreign exchange gains, largely offset by higher FDIC assessments and a decrease in mortgage banking revenues, the result of a decline in origination and sales activities. The higher net interest income resulted from an increase in average outstanding loan balances of $1.7 billion and a widening of the net interest margin on deposits of 13 basis points, partially offset by a narrowing of the net interest margin on loans of 19 basis points. Contributing to the 4% improvement in the recent quarter’s net income as compared with the first quarter of 2016 was a $6 million rise in net interest income and a $5 million increase in trading account and foreign exchange gains. The higher net interest income reflected an increase in average outstanding loan balances of $568 million combined with a 6 basis point widening of the net interest margin on loans. Those favorable factors were partially offset by higher FDIC assessment costs. Net income for the Commercial Real Estate segment totaled $165 million during each of the six-month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015. A rise in net interest income of $10 million and higher trading account and foreign exchange gains of $7 million were offset by increased FDIC assessments of $6 million, lower mortgage banking revenues of $3 million and a higher provision for credit losses. The increase in net interest income resulted from higher average outstanding loan balances of $1.6 billion and a widening of the net interest margin on deposits of 14 basis points offset, in part, by a narrowing of the net interest margin on loans of 19 basis points. The higher trading account and foreign exchange gains during the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2016 resulted from increased activity related to interest rate swap transactions executed on behalf of customers.

The Discretionary Portfolio segment recorded net income of $46 million during the three-month period ended June 30, 2016, compared with $11 million

-91-

in the year-earlier period and $55 million in the first quarter of 2016. The significant improvement as compared with the second quarter of 2015 was predominantly due to the impact of residential real estate loans obtained in the acquisition of Hudson City. Partially offsetting that factor were increases in the provision for credit losses and FDIC assessments of $6 million each, and higher loan and other real estate-related servicing costs. The decline in net income in the recent quarter as compared with the immediately preceding quarter resulted from a $9 million decrease in net interest income, lower bank owned life insurance revenues of $4 million and higher FDIC assessments. The lower net interest income predominantly reflected lower average outstanding loan balances of $936 million and a narrowing of the net interest margin on investment securities of 8 basis points. Year-to-date net income for this segment totaled $101 million in 2016 and $17 million in 2015. That significant increase was predominantly the result of residential real estate loans obtained in the acquisition of Hudson City, partially offset by increases in the provision for credit losses and FDIC assessments of $9 million each and higher loan and other real-estate servicing costs.

Net income from the Residential Mortgage Banking segment was $20 million in the recent quarter, compared with $25 million in the second quarter of 2015 and $17 million in the first quarter of 2016. The decline as compared with the year-earlier period was predominantly attributable to lower revenues from subservicing residential real estate loans. The recent quarter’s improved performance as compared with the first quarter of 2016 reflected a $6 million increase in revenues associated with mortgage origination and sales activities (including intersegment revenues) due to higher origination volumes. The Residential Mortgage Banking segment contributed $37 million of net income in the first six months of 2016, compared with $54 million in the corresponding 2015 period. That decline reflected a $9 million decrease in revenues from mortgage origination and sales activities (including intersegment revenues), due to lower origination volumes, and a decline in revenues from subservicing residential real estate loans.

Net income earned by the Retail Banking segment totaled $71 million in the second quarter of 2016, compared with $69 million in the year-earlier quarter and $63 million in the first quarter of 2016. As compared with the second quarter of 2015, the recent quarter’s improved performance resulted from a $41 million rise in net interest income, predominantly due to the impact of deposits obtained in the acquisition of Hudson City, that was largely offset by: a $14 million increase in personnel-related expenses, resulting from the Hudson City acquisition; a $9 million increase in the provision for credit losses, reflecting a $6 million charge-off of a personal usage loan; increased FDIC assessments of $5 million; higher equipment and net occupancy costs of $4 million, reflecting the impact of the Hudson City acquisition, and a $3 million increase in advertising and promotional expenses. The recent quarter’s 13% improvement in net income as compared with the first quarter of 2016 reflected a $17 million decrease in the provision for credit losses, largely due to partial charge-offs recognized in the first quarter of 2016 on loans for which the Company identified that the customer was either bankrupt or deceased, partially offset by increased FDIC assessments. Net income recorded by the Retail Banking segment totaled $135 million in the first half of 2016 and $138 million in 2015. Factors contributing to that 2% decline were increases in: the provision for credit losses of $30 million, due to higher net charge-offs; personnel costs of $29 million, equipment and net occupancy expenses of $8 million and advertising and promotional expenses of $6 million, all predominantly due to the impact of the acquisition of Hudson City; and FDIC assessment costs of $5 million. Those unfavorable factors were largely offset by an $80 million increase in net interest income, predominantly due to the impact of deposits obtained in the acquisition of Hudson City.

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 amortization of core deposit and other intangible assets resulting from the acquisitions of financial institutions, including the November 2015 Hudson City transaction, M&T’s share of the operating losses of BLG, merger-related expenses resulting from acquisitions and the net impact of the Company’s allocation methodologies for internal transfers for funding charges and credits associated with the earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities of the Company’s reportable segments and the provision for credit losses. The “All Other” category also includes the trust income of the Company that reflects the ICS and WAS business activities. The various components of the “All Other” category resulted in net losses totaling $14 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2016, $34 million in the year-earlier quarter and $44 million in the first quarter of 2016. As compared with the year-earlier quarter, the recent quarter reflects the favorable impact from the Company’s allocation methodologies for internal transfers for funding charges and credits associated with earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities of the Company’s reportable segments and the provision for credit losses, and a decrease in allocated FDIC assessments that were partially offset by higher personnel-related costs of $20 million and merger-related expenses aggregating $13 million (there were no such expenses in the second quarter of 2015). Results for the second quarter of 2015 reflected the $45 million pre-tax gain related to the sale of the trade processing business within the retirement services division that was mostly offset by $40 million of tax-deductible cash contributions to The M&T Charitable Foundation. The after-tax impact of those two items lowered net income by approximately $1 million. The reduced net loss in the second quarter of 2016 as compared with the immediately preceding quarter reflected a decrease in personnel-related costs of $29 million (resulting from seasonally higher stock-based incentive compensation, unemployment insurance, payroll-related taxes and other benefits in the initial 2016 quarter), a reduction of merger-related expenses of $11 million, an increase in trust income of $9 million and lower allocated FDIC assessments, partially offset by higher professional services costs of $12 million and the impact from the Company’s allocation methodologies for internal transfers for funding charges and credits associated with earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities of the Company’s reportable segments. The “All Other” category had net losses of $58 million and $100 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The improved performance in 2016 was predominantly due to the favorable impact from the Company’s allocation methodologies for internal transfers for funding charges and credits associated with earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities of the Company’s reportable segments, partially offset by $36 million of merger-related expenses (there were no such expenses in the 2015 period).

Recent Accounting Developments

Effective January 1, 2016, the Company adopted amended accounting guidance relating to the consolidation of variable interest entities to modify the evaluation of whether limited partnerships and similar legal entities are variable interest entities or voting interest entities and to eliminate the presumption that a general partner should consolidate a limited partnership. The amended guidance also eliminates certain conditions in the assessment of whether fees paid by a legal entity to a decision maker or a service provider represent a variable interest in the legal entity and reduces the extent to which related party arrangements cause an entity to be considered a primary beneficiary. The new guidance eliminates the indefinite deferral of existing consolidation guidance for certain investment funds, but provides a scope exception for reporting entities with interests in legal entities that are required to comply with or operate in accordance with requirements similar to those in Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 for registered money market funds. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

-93-

In January 2016, the Company also adopted amended accounting guidance for debt issuance costs. The guidance requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position at January 1, 2016.

In the first quarter of 2016, the Company adopted amended accounting guidance for share-based payments when the terms of an award provide that a performance target could be achieved after the requisite service period. The amended guidance requires that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. The performance target should not be reflected in estimating the grant-date fair value of the award. Compensation cost should be recognized in the period in which it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved and should represent the compensation cost attributable to the period(s) for which the requisite service has already been rendered. If the performance target becomes probable of being achieved before the end of the requisite service period, the remaining unrecognized compensation cost should be recognized prospectively over the remaining requisite service period. The total amount of compensation cost recognized during and after the requisite service period should reflect the number of awards that are expected to vest and should be adjusted to reflect those awards that ultimately vest. The requisite service period ends when the employee can cease rendering service and still be eligible to vest in the award if the performance target is achieved. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Amended accounting guidance for measurement-period adjustments related to business combinations was also adopted by the Company in the first quarter of 2016. The amended guidance requires that an acquirer recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined. The acquirer is now required to record, in the same period’s financial statements, the effect on earnings of changes in depreciation, amortization, or other income effects, if any, as a result of the change to the provisional amounts, calculated as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued amended guidance for the measurement of credit losses on certain financial assets. The amended guidance requires financial assets measured at amortized cost to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The allowance for credit losses will represent a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial assets to present their net carrying value at the amount expected to be collected. The income statement will reflect the measurement of credit losses for newly recognized financial assets as well as expected increases or decreases of expected credit losses that have taken place during the period. When determining the allowance, expected credit losses over the contractual term of the financial asset(s) (taking into account prepayments) will be estimated considering relevant information about past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectibility of the reported amount. The amended guidance also requires recording an allowance for credit losses for purchased financial assets with a more-than-insignificant amount of credit deterioration since origination. The initial allowance for these assets will be added to the purchase price at acquisition rather than being reported as an expense. Subsequent changes in the allowance will be recorded as an expense. In addition, the amended guidance requires credit losses relating to available-for-sale debt securities to be recorded through an allowance for credit losses. The calculation of credit losses for available-

-94-

for-sale securities will be similar to how it is determined under existing guidance. The guidance is effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is evaluating the impact the amended guidance may have on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued amended accounting guidance for share-based transactions. The amended guidance requires that all excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies be recognized as income tax expense or benefit in the income statement and that excess tax benefits should be recognized regardless of whether the benefit reduces taxes payable in the current period. The guidance allows an entity to make an accounting policy election to either estimate the number of awards that are expected to vest or account for forfeitures when they occur. The guidance permits share-based awards that allow for the withholding of shares up to the maximum statutory tax ratio in applicable jurisdictions to qualify for equity classification. The previous GAAP threshold was restricted to the employer’s minimum statutory withholding requirements. The guidance also specifies certain changes to the reporting of share-based transactions on the statement of cash flows and is effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company expects adoption of the guidance will result in increased volatility to reported income tax expense related to excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies for share-based transactions, but the actual amounts recognized in tax expense will be dependent on the amount of share-based transactions entered into and the stock price at the time of vesting.

In March 2016, the FASB issued amended accounting guidance for the transition to the equity method of accounting. The amended guidance eliminates the requirement that when an investment qualifies for use of the equity method as a result of an increase in the level of ownership interest or degree of influence, an investor must adjust the investment, results of operations, and retained earnings retroactively on a step-by-step basis as if the equity method has been in effect during all previous periods that the investment had been held. Instead, the amended guidance requires the investor to adopt the equity method of accounting as of the date the investment first qualifies for such accounting. The guidance is effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company does not expect the guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued two amendments to its rules on accounting for derivatives and hedging. The first amendment clarifies that a change in the counterparty to a derivative instrument that has been designated as the hedging instrument does not, in and of itself, require dedesignation of that hedging relationship provided that all other hedge accounting criteria continue to be met. The second amendment clarifies the requirements for assessing whether contingent call (put) options that can accelerate the payment of principal on debt instruments are clearly and closely related to their debt hosts. An entity performing the assessment is required to assess the embedded call (put) options solely in accordance with a four-step decision sequence and no longer has to assess whether the event that triggers the ability to exercise the option is related to interest rates or credit risks. Both amendments are effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the guidance will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued guidance related to the accounting for leases. The core principle of the guidance is that all leases create an asset and a liability for the lessee and, therefore, lease assets and lease liabilities should be recognized in the balance sheet. Lease assets will be recognized as a right-of-use asset and lease liabilities will be recognized

-95-

as a liability to make lease payments. While the guidance requires all leases to be recognized in the balance sheet, there continues to be a differentiation between finance leases and operating leases for purposes of income statement recognition and cash flow statement presentation. For finance leases, interest on the lease liability and amortization of the right-of-use asset will be recognized separately in the statement of income. Repayments of principal on those lease liabilities will be classified within financing activities and payments of interest on the lease liability will be classified within operating activities in the statement of cash flows. For operating leases, a single lease cost is recognized in the statement of income and allocated over the lease term, generally on a straight-line basis. All cash payments are presented within operating activities in the statement of cash flows. The accounting applied by lessors is largely unchanged from existing GAAP, however, the guidance eliminates the accounting model for leveraged leases for leases that commence after the effective date of the guidance. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company occupies certain banking offices and uses certain equipment under noncancelable operating lease agreements, which currently are not reflected in its consolidated balance sheet. Such leases generally will be required to be presented in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet upon adoption of this guidance. The Company is evaluating the impact the guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In January 2016, the FASB issued amended guidance related to recognition and measurement of financial assets and liabilities. The amended guidance requires that equity investments (excluding those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee) be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. An entity can elect to measure equity investments that do not have readily determinable fair values at cost less impairment, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or similar investment of the same issuer. The impairment assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values is simplified by requiring a qualitative assessment to identify impairment. When a qualitative assessment indicates impairment exists, an entity is required to measure the investment at fair value. The guidance eliminates the requirement for public business entities to disclose the method and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet. Further, the guidance requires public entities to use the exit price when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes. The guidance also requires an entity to present separately in other comprehensive income, a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when the entity has elected to measure a liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option. Separate presentation of financial assets and liabilities by measurement category and type of instrument on the balance sheet or accompanying notes to the financial statements is required. The guidance also clarifies that an entity should evaluate the need for a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset related to available-for-sale securities in combination with the entity’s other deferred tax assets. This guidance is effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is evaluating the impact the guidance could have on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued amended accounting and disclosure guidance for revenue from contracts with customers. The core principle of the accounting guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve that core principle, an entity should apply the following steps: (1) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the

-96-

performance obligations in the contract; (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The guidance also specifies the accounting for some costs to obtain or fulfill a contract with a customer. The amended disclosure guidance requires sufficient information to enable users of financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. In August 2015, the FASB deferred the effective date of this guidance by one year. The amended guidance is now effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. The guidance should be applied either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying this guidance recognized at the date of initial application. The Company is still evaluating the impact the guidance could have on its consolidated financial statements.

Forward-Looking Statements

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and other sections of this quarterly report contain forward-looking statements that are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about the Company’s business, management’s beliefs and assumptions made by management. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words such as “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “target,” “estimate,” “continue,” “positions,” “prospects” 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 (“Future Factors”) which are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made and the Company assumes no duty to update forward-looking statements.

Future Factors include changes in interest rates, spreads on earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, and interest rate sensitivity; prepayment speeds, loan originations, credit losses and market values of loans, collateral securing loans and other assets; sources of liquidity; common shares outstanding; 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-related revenues; legislation and/or regulation affecting the financial services industry as a whole, and M&T and its subsidiaries individually or collectively, including tax legislation or regulation; regulatory supervision and oversight, including monetary policy and capital requirements; changes in accounting policies or procedures as may be required by the FASB or regulatory agencies; increasing price and product/service competition by competitors, including new entrants; rapid 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/services; containing costs and expenses; governmental and public policy changes; protection and validity of intellectual property rights; reliance on large customers; technological, implementation and cost/financial risks in large, multi-year contracts; the outcome of pending and future litigation and governmental proceedings, including tax-related examinations and other matters; 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 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 Future Factors that could affect the outcome of the forward-looking statements. In addition, 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

-97-

in which M&T and its subsidiaries do business, including interest rate and currency exchange rate fluctuations, changes and trends in the securities markets, and other Future Factors.

Item 4.

Controls and Procedures.

(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon their evaluation of the effectiveness of M&T’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)), Robert G. Wilmers, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, and Darren J. King, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that M&T’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2016.

(b) Changes in internal control over financial reporting. M&T regularly assesses the adequacy of its internal control over financial reporting and enhances its controls in response to internal control assessments and internal and external audit and regulatory recommendations. No changes in internal control over financial reporting have been identified in connection with the evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures during the quarter ended June 30, 2016 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, M&T’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.

Legal Proceedings.

Wilmington Trust Corporation Investigative and Litigation Matters

M&T’s Wilmington Trust Corporation subsidiary is the subject of certain governmental investigations arising from actions undertaken by Wilmington Trust Corporation prior to M&T’s acquisition of Wilmington Trust Corporation and its subsidiaries, as set forth below.

DOJ Investigation (United States v. Wilmington Trust Corp., et al, District of Delaware, Crim. No. 15-23-RGA): Prior to M&T’s acquisition of Wilmington Trust Corporation, the Department of Justice (“DOJ”) commenced an investigation of Wilmington Trust Corporation, relating to Wilmington Trust Corporation’s financial reporting and securities filings, as well as certain commercial real estate lending relationships involving its subsidiary bank, Wilmington Trust Company, all of which relate to filings and activities occurring prior to the acquisition of Wilmington Trust Corporation by M&T. On January 6, 2016, the U.S. Attorney for the District of Delaware obtained an indictment against Wilmington Trust Corporation relating to alleged conduct that occurred prior to M&T’s acquisition of Wilmington Trust Corporation in

-103-

May 2011. M&T strongly believes that this unprecedented action is unjustified and Wilmington Trust Corporation will vigorously defend itself. Trial in this matter is scheduled to begin on January 17, 2017. Wilmington Trust Corporation and its counsel are currently involved in pretrial discovery, motion practice and trial preparation.

The indictment of Wilmington Trust Corporation could result in potential criminal remedies, or criminal or non-criminal resolutions or settlements, including, among other things, enforcement actions, potential statutory or regulatory restrictions on the ability to conduct certain businesses (for which waivers may or may not be available), fines, penalties, restitution, reputational damage or additional costs and expenses.

In Re Wilmington Trust Securities Litigation (U.S. District Court, District of Delaware, Case No. 10-CV-0990-SLR) : Beginning on November 18, 2010, a series of parties, purporting to be class representatives, commenced a putative class action lawsuit against Wilmington Trust Corporation, alleging that Wilmington Trust Corporation’s financial reporting and securities filings were in violation of securities laws. The cases were consolidated and Wilmington Trust Corporation moved to dismiss. The Court issued an order denying Wilmington Trust Corporation’s motion to dismiss on March 20, 2014. Fact discovery commenced. On April 13, 2016, the Court issued an order staying fact discovery in the case pending completion of the trial in U.S. v. Wilmington Trust Corp., et al.

Other Matters

As previously disclosed by the Company in its public filings, including its report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2016, the Company had been cooperating with the DOJ and the Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”), which had been reviewing M&T Bank’s participation in the Federal Housing Administration loan program. Also, as previously disclosed in the Company’s public filings, M&T Bank entered into a settlement agreement with the DOJ on behalf of HUD. Management of M&T Bank determined to settle this matter for $64 million, without admitting liability, in order to avoid the expense of potential litigation. On May 20, 2016, the United States District Court for the Western District of New York entered an order dismissing the matter. As previously disclosed, this settlement did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

Due to their complex nature, it is difficult to estimate when litigation and investigatory matters such as these may be resolved. As set forth in the introductory paragraph to this Item 1 — Legal Proceedings, losses from current litigation and regulatory matters which the Company is subject to that are not currently considered probable are within a range of reasonably possible losses for such matters in the aggregate, beyond the existing recorded liability, and are included in the range of reasonably possible losses set forth above.
